“Julia went above and beyond taking care of our animals. She was responsive and sent regular updates. We came home to happy pets who were clearly well taken care of. We really could not have found a better house sitter and I would not hesitate to book with her again in the future.”
“She’s great and my pups loved her.”
“There aren’t enough words to say how fantastic Nikki is! She’s super punctual, kind and very easy to communicate with. She did the best job with my two babies this weekend so I could get away. She sent the best updates and pictures and made sure my boys weren’t too sad. We cannot recommend her enough, she makes going away stress free.”
“Recently we were fortunate enough to have Cam stay with our two KCC for five nights, and I would absolutely recommend Cam to anyone seeking Rover’s services. Cam did a Meet & Greet prior to staying at our home, which was helpful for all parties (Cam, our family, and the fur babies!). While away, Cam periodically gave updates, which we appreciated. They were also very respectful of the house and asked questions as needed. Cam was also very flexible and accommodating to our travel schedule, which we were grateful for! My family looks forward to using Cam’s services again in the future!”
“Traci did an AMAZING job with our elderly girl. She left the house neat and our girl was happy. My family feels much more comfortable going away knowing Traci will be there to watch our girl.”
“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”
“Julie - Anne was an amazing sitter to our dog - Cooper! Cooper really liked Julie- Anne and they spent a lot of time snuggling and out on walks. Julie - Anne is a delight and would recommend her!”
“Jackie house sat for us for a week and our dog couldn’t be happier. Having her there gave us tremendous peace of mind and really let us enjoy our vacation. Would highly recommend!”
“Allyson was just fantastic!! She got along great with Darwin and even sent a photo to us. She was very considerate of us and sent back and forth messages often. She is also a terrific, very capable person. Anyone who uses Allyson will be very happy.”
About: I have never known my family without an animal present as a member. Dogs and fish were the animals allowed in my house growing up. This then branched off to felines, rodents, chickens and more when I began pet sitting around the age of 15. Recently graduated from Bates College, I am back home in Massachusetts which means I am available to visit, walk or house sit pets in my nearby communities. I am currently studying for the MCAT so a trip outside with your furry friends is a welcomed break from the textbooks! At my home, we have a Winnie the poodle to keep your fur baby company on walks or during longer stays. I have reliable transportation to meet you and your fur baby's needs where they are at. This could mean taking them for walks in your local community or bringing them to my house to meet loving family and receive an abundance of cuddles.
About: I’m available for home visits with dogs and cats, dog walking, and occasional house sitting. I have two wonderful dogs and grew up with cats—I truly adore animals and love spending time with them! I can take your pets for walks or runs (I’m a daily runner!), change litter, feed them, and give them plenty of care and attention. I’m heading to law school in the fall and looking to earn some extra income doing something I enjoy. I’m reliable, friendly, communicative, and very responsive. I also have a car and am happy to take dogs on walks in scenic spots nearby. My schedule is flexible, and I have experience caring for a variety of pets. Thank you so much for your consideration—please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I'm currently taking the summer off before law school, so I have time to watch pets on the weekdays and weekends at virtually any time! I provide attentive, loving care—feeding, walking or running with dogs, changing kitty litter or picking up after dogs, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment.
“Hannah always does a great job caring for our dog and keeping us updated! We can tell our dog is happy and well-loved when Hannah stays with her.”
“Clara took wonderful care of Millie! I received updates throughout the stay, and Millie looked very happy and at ease in the photos I received. I will be rebooking!”
“Jamie did a great job sitting for our dog for a week. She was very responsible about checking in daily and sending pictures. She also took great care of the house and made sure that we were informed of anything that was going on. We will definitely use her again.”
“Wendy is great! This is our first time using a pet sitter in our home. She has gone above and beyond what we had expected. Wendy was very accommodating when one of our pets had a medical event just before our trip. We know our crew was very well taken care of while we were away. That made it easy to relax and enjoy our vacation. Thank you Wendy!!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have two wonderful dogs of my own. I’ve cared for many pets within my family and circle of friends, and I genuinely love providing patient, attentive care. While I run my own Salon Suite full time, I make room during slower months to care for animals because it’s something I’m truly passionate about. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my priority. I’m a full-time hairdresser, but during the summer months, my schedule slows down as many clients travel. This gives me more availability to work part-time as a sitter. I’ve primarily cared for pets belonging to close friends and family, but I’m now excited to offer my services to others who need a trustworthy and caring sitter. With my flexible summer schedule and love for animals, I’m ready to provide reliable, attentive care to new furry friends. Ensuring the safety, comfort, and trust of your pets is my top priority. I personalize each experience based on your specific needs and requests. I’m very flexible with scheduling and am most comfortable providing care in your home, as I currently have two dogs of my own. This allows me to give your pets my full attention in a familiar and stress-free environment. Your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being are always at the center of my care.
“Zannah took wonderful care of our dog for four days. She updated us daily with videos and photos and took our dog on lots of walks. We didn't worry about our dog during our vacation because we knew he was getting great care!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Rachel’s care and dedication while watching our senior dog, Kaia, during our weekend trip. What truly stood out was her flexibility and commitment to ensuring Kaia was well taken care of, no matter the circumstances. Originally, we planned to return Sunday night, but a strong winter storm changed our plans. When we reached out to Rachel last-minute to ask if she could stay an extra night, she didn’t hesitate to help. With road conditions still dangerous Monday morning, we ended up extending our stay another night, knowing Kaia was in great hands. Despite the storm hitting Acton hard and making walks difficult, Rachel made sure Kaia could get outside safely and kept our home well cared for. Her reliability and willingness to adapt to unexpected challenges gave us peace of mind throughout the trip. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and dependable dog sitter!”
“Jessica stayed with our dog over the July 4th weekend. She was great. She followed our directions, asked good questions, and was an excellent communicator throughout the stay. Our dog has anxiety, and Jessica was outstanding in managing him. We would hire her again in an instant.”
“Sandra was fantastic. We have medically needy senior dogs and Sandra did an exceptional job. She provided plenty of love and cuddles to our fur babies and plenty of updates. Will re-book again.”

Allyson was just fantastic!! She got along great with Darwin and even sent a photo to us. She was very considerate of us and sent back and forth messages often. She is also a terrific, very capable person. Anyone who uses Allyson will be very happy.
Zannah did a great job house sitting for us. It was the worst icy weather of the year but she made the most of it and we came home to happy animals and were really grateful she was able to do it. She’s responsive and sent us daily updates.
We were so lucky to have found Adrienn. We had a three-week trip, and we didn't want to board our dog for that long. We also were worried about the house, especially with all the rain and bad weather that comes in the summer. Adrienn was fantastic. She was kind, attentive, and welcoming to us and our dog, and she visited twice before she stayed out our place and took care of our dog. She asked questions and made sure she knew everything we/our dog needed. When we were away, she checked in regularly and sent photos; she walked our dog a lot. We felt like we could relax and enjoy our vacation because we knew Adrienn was taking care of everything — dog, house, and plants. We definitely would book with Adrienn again!
