“Casey was great! She was super responsive when I first reached out to her and was great with my cat Poppy. I especially loved all the pictures she sent during her drop-ins. I would definitely recommend her to another pet owner. Thanks, Casey!”

“Hannah did a great job taking care of my cat Luna for two weeks! She was very friendly and communicative during drop ins. Luna loves attention and was very comfortable and happy with Hannah while I was away. Would highly recommend!”

“Megan is amazing! She is communicative, flexible, and professional. She did an amazing job with my 11 week old puppy and she will continue to be my first call when I need a sitter!”

“Super kind and responsive, very friendly with the animals and makes sure their needs are met. Would 100% recommend and use again. One of our cats was sick while we were away and sure was very helpful and flexible working with us to help him feel better.”

“Jessica is AMAZING! She took great care of my precious kitties and sent pictures so that I would not miss them as much. I am so grateful to be able to travel and not have to worry about my fur babies!”
“We're so happy to have connected with Emily not only because the cat likes her and does well spending time with her, but she's such a pleasure to work with--responsive, reliable and very conscientious, kitty-focused and attentive to detail. We found a great fit!”

“Stephanie did a great job troubleshooting giving medicine to our cat, even when our cat was being difficult. She was also very communicative about how everything was going. We would book again!”

About: Hi! I grew up with dogs & cats throughout my childhood and then got a dog of my own during COVID. Due to a breakup, I no longer have my dog & have been chasing to get puppy snuggles wherever possible. I have dog sat for friends and family countless time. I also volunteer occasionally at the Animal Rescue League of NH & also am looking forward to find a MA organization, now that I live down in MA! I work full time with 2 days in the office. The other 3 weekdays, I work fully remote & am flexible! If you live close by, I can stop by to let your dog out, take them for a walk or just give them some love for a bit. And of course, I’d love to stay at your home if needed (and could even work remotely from there if you’re okay with that!) I’m happy to accommodate to whatever you need in your own home! Since I don’t own my current place & have a dog living here currently, I am only offering services outside of my house. This will include- dog walking & in house visits/stays for cats & dogs. However, that means you get to tell me where everything is & we don’t need to take your perfect dog/cat out of their safe space. 🤍
“Sydney was great. I booked her for a pretty last minute walk and she still agreed to meet my dog beforehand. She was very sweet, good communication, and my dog seemed to really like her. I would definitely book her for another walk.”

“They took care of my baby boy very well. Left them detailed instructions that they followed and any alterations they accommodated. I would hirer them again.”

“Miliana is a gem as always! Reliable, responsive, thoughtful and my cat absolutely loves her! I could go on, but I’m just so happy to have found someone who I completely trust with my little man. She is the best!”

About: I've grown up with and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. From tiny puppies to large lovable seniors, I've been around them all! I'll treat your pup with lots of scritches, belly rubs, and love like they're my own, all while maintaining the level of discipline you keep in your home. I'm comfortable walking on a leash, taking them to a dog park, or just hanging around at home watching whatever is on TV. Dogs are a comforting presence for me, and I'm eager to take care of yours. I'm currently unemployed and am job hunting as we speak, so my schedule is wide open! Whenever you need a caring, watchful eye over your pup, I'll be there. I live by a park, so if I'm dayboarding, there's easy access to green space. If I'm dog walking or dog sitting, I'll follow your lead. You know your pup best, so whatever rules or expectations you have, I'll ensure they're followed and maintained.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets and others’ since I was about 8 years old. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pet-sitting needs, and I genuinely love being able to help out. I grew up with both cats and dogs (and a few other animals along the way!), and spent a lot of time training and doing agility work with my family’s Border Collie. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies to senior pets, as well as all sizes and temperaments. I’m also comfortable administering medications to your pets, and have had experience doing this with both cats and dogs. I just finished graduate school, so I’ve got good availability during work hours/work days to do check-ins and walks! My schedule is extremely flexible as I job hunt for a full time position. My cats are indoor cats and have plenty of access to toys, climbing trees/stimulation, food and water, and their litter box! I would ensure that your pets are extremely well cared for according to your instructions.
“We would definitely hire Mina again to be our cat sitter! She did such a great job and gave us very thorough updates while we were away. We were able to enjoy our trip confident that our cats were happy and taken care of. She went above and beyond in playing with the cats and keeping our place clean. Highly recommend!”

“Emily has consistently been amazing! the most patient, calm, and thorough cat-sitter for my cat. She’s very communicative, and you can really tell her love for animals shines through. My cat loves to snuggle with her and play, and she sends lots of pictures/updates. Emily has also been super flexible and careful about taking good care of my space whenever she’s pet-sitting, which is something I really value. Highly recommend!”

Boston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Victoria is so kind and patient with my 14 year old grumpy cat who needs meds. I used to be very hesitant to leave town, but my multiple experiences with Victoria watching my cats has made that hesitancy disappear. She is communicative, respectful, and most important of all I can that she cares about my pets.

Jenin did such a fabulous job with my shy kitty Cinnamon and I truly appreciated her detailed and thoughtful updates throughout my trip. It is obvious that she really has a way with and cares deeply for animals and I will definitely be booking with Jenin again!
