“Vanessa is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of our animals for a full week and went above and beyond—even staying late when our flight was delayed. She was incredibly accommodating, kept in touch daily, and sent the pictures of our fur monsters, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Not only did our pets absolutely adore her, but we also came home to a spotless house! Vanessa is reliable, caring, and truly great with animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Mandy was great with our pack! She took great care of the housemaid kept it nice and clean. The babies all seem to enjoy her company. If anything, they probably want us gone more often! She sent us plenty of photos and videos and also took our youngest dog out to hang out with her dog so he can get some energy out. Will definitely book again. Thank you Mandy!”


“Becky was really wonderful with our two dogs when we took a short vacation. My little adult chihuahua rescues 💕 loved her at first sight. Becky was quick to respond to messages and she sent several cute doggie photos everyday. She came to my home two times before we left. The Meet n Greet lasted more than an hour. The second time was for my dogs to be comfortable with her. I highly recommend using Becky!”


“First time using an online dog/house sitting app. Cassandra was absolutely amazing. 10/10. We won’t be going back to friends/friends kids to house sit for us. Super nice adult, just who you want to be in your house with your pets while you are away. Great communication. Kept us updated every day and with fun pictures of the adventures she took our two dogs on. And boy did they get spoiled! Walks, trips to the park, wash and brush, really above and beyond. The house was immaculate upon our return as well. She was happy to water plants and feed the chickens and collect eggs etc. Again, amazing. If you need a sitter, and Cassandra is available, do not think twice.”


“She was fantastic! Always updated us with pictures and was super thoughtful about the heat and walks with our pups. She even asked about house plants that potentially needed watering. When we came home they were very chill and happy. We could tell they had lots of love. We’ve booked on Rover many times and she has been one of the best. Funny side note: Upon returning home, getting settled and taking our pups on an evening walk after it had cooled down we ran into our neighbors across the street and they, unprompted, raved that she was the best sitter they’ve observed at our house. Highly recommend and will ask to sit our pups/house again in the future.”


“My puppies had a wonderful time with Theo, and I received daily updates and pictures. They were comfortable, had lots of fun, and got lots of cuddles. She is able to handle their rambunctiousness with care and understanding. Highly recommend, great communication, easy to work with. I will definitely be asking for Theo again! I think she is the perfect dog sitter!”


“Kirsten was great! She helped us out with really short notice, and was very flexible & accommodating. Cooper seemed to connect with her right away! We will definitely book her again!!”


About: With over a decade of experience as a trusted dog sitter, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, including those belonging to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. From goofy poodles (like my own) to energetic vizsla's, I've had the pleasure of nurturing a diverse range of breeds and personalities. My commitment to building strong relationships with both pets and their owners has led to countless referrals and repeat clients, solidifying my reputation as a go-to sitter in the area. I prioritize safety, exercise, and lots of cuddles!! I have a work schedule that gives me flexibility Thursdays and Fridays so I’m able to provide services for up to 4 days at a time :) I don’t have a pet friendly rental home so I prefer to care for pets at the clients home. This is what I’ve normally done for friends and family over the years. Plus pets seem more comfy in their own homes!

“Alison was great! She helped out with a last minute booking, and was able to squeeze us in. Cooper seemed to really like her. Alison was quick to reply and sent updates of their day together. I'll definitely look to rebook with her in the future!”


“We couldn’t be happier. Margaret came to stay at our house with our two dogs and car. I had total peace of mind and was able to enjoy being away knowing they were in such capable loving hands. She also kept my plants alive in a heatwave and I suspect the house might be cleaner than when I left it. She even did some training sessions and our dogs really seemed to enjoy it. Can’t wait to plan more trips now that I know a reliable sitter.”


“Was the perfect dog sitter. She was attentive, kind and incredibly helpful to me. I lost a family member out of town - she came and stayed with them and showed them all the love I wish I could have given them while I was gone- including staying on schedule with my older pups medicine. I got daily updates with pictures or videos. I CANNOT recommend her enough.”


“Madelyn was an excellent sitter for Frito! She was very communicative and shared pictures. Kept me updated on how she was doing throughout our trip. And the house was spotless when we got home. Will definitely hope to book her again!”


“Maddie was our first overnight Rover sitter and she did great! Our dogs were well-cared for & cuddled and our house was spotless. We absolutely recommend her to other pet parents!”


About: Throughout my life, I have been very fortunate to grow up with animals. I currently have two boy cats that are a year old. They are my partners in crime. When I had a dog I spent time taking him to agility courses and dog parks. With my passion for animals, I have had the opportunity to watch other pets as well. I have sat for cats as well as dogs. In these past situations, I made sure to ask what the animal's needs are. When watching one of my client's dogs who has special needs. She had disabled back legs and needed extra assistants while watching her, such as walking slow and caring her up and downstairs. Even with her disability, she is full of love! :) Every animal has its own personality just like people. I can't wait to meet your pet and spread the love with them! Thank you! I am currently unemployed because I just graduated college. I am looking for a job but while I wait I would love to have more animals in my life! I have house and animal sat for many years. I am a great listener and great at asking questions making sure everyone involved is happy and comfortable with me in their home with their animals. I am used to adapting to new rules and homes.

“Brett was wonderful. On the day of my departure, one of my dogs became very ill and I left Brett with a hot mess and lots of meds to administer. He owned the situation. When I returned, my dog was happy and eating again; her usual zip on full display. I highly recommend Brett and will call on him again.”



“Bryan was fantastic with our dog! She was well looked after and he left our house clean and in good shape at the end of the sitting visit. We highly recommend Bryan and would use him again.”


“Chandra did a fantastic job taking care of our two mini-schnauzers and our house and garden and Little Free Library!! Her communication skills are absolutely perfect. I don't think you could do better than hire Chandra. She's coming again next month!!”


“Stephanie took on her first time with us so well! We were out of town with no signal. She met our dogs once and did a fantastic job caring for them in our absence. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to others!”


“Chloe watched my pups again for us! She left the house cleaner then when she came. The pups were happy. She played with them, cuddled them, and took them for walks! Will definitely be using her again next time we need a sitter! Thank you for everything Chloe!”


“Alice was a wonderful sitter for our home and pets! She handled 3 big dogs, 3 cats, and 2 leopard geckos with ease! Reliable, great communication, and will be recommending her to my neighbors/local friends!”

“Simmone is amazing! We have used her to watch our dogs for years. We now schedule our trips around her availability. She goes above and beyond every single time she stays with our pups. She lets them sleep with her. She keeps us updated with regular pictures and messages that make being away so much easier. Our house always looks just as spotless. It’s such a relief knowing everything is in great hands when she’s here. If you’re lucky enough to book her, do it—you won’t find anyone better!”

Bailey W.
“Bailey has loved animals since before she could walk or talk. She is incredibly compassionate and thoughtful of others whether they walk on 2 feet or 4 feet. It is not hyperbole to say she is as honest, responsible and reliable as you could ask for in a dog sitter or a person in general. She has a strong drive to always do her best and has many school and sports awards that back this up. And as a bonus she almost always wears a big, bright smile. To know Bailey is to love Bailey. And I know without a doubt she will love your canine family member!”

Boston Harbor pet parents share their Rover experiences
Winnie and her boys took great care of our two needy dogs and our home while we were away for nearly two weeks. We came home to happy, loved pets and a very clean house. We really appreciated her communication throughout our trip and her patience with our dogs' adjustment to the new experience. Thank you, Winnie!
