“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!”

“Erin was great!! My cat can be temperamental and easily overstimulated, he seemed to do really great with her. She went above and beyond of what was asked of her. I got lots of pictures every day of what the two of them were doing. It was nice to come home to his automatic feeder being full, and his litter tray from his automatic litter box emptied. She was very friendly when meeting her, I would absolutely trust her again and rebook in the future. :)”

“Stephanie watched my two Frenchies and they absolutely love her! My dogs were well exercised and happy. The updates and photos sent throughout her stay gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of my fur babies!”

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.”

“Would’ve loved a few more pictures, but I came back and my apartment was very clean, which is not easy when you have a rabbit. I truly believe my little man was well cared for.”

“Miliana took care of our cat while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to connect with her, bringing a laser pointer one day to play with her. Miliana was very responsive and always shared photos and was able to stop by even during a large snow storm. Highly would recommend!!”

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.
“Mina did a great job looking after our cat over a long weekend. She provided timely updates on each visit and went above and beyond by giving our cat her eye drops every day. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a cat sitter!”

“Emily is AMAZING! She cared for my pup, Peanut during Thanksgiving for me. I got home and I swear she was looking for Emily and not me, when I walked through the door. Would 10/10 recommend her to take excellent care of your pup too!”

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!
