“Courtney is the best; she was so sweet with my 2 young cats! They can be nervous with strangers but they really warmed up to her, which is a testament to how gentle and patient she was. She followed instructions well, and kept us updated with meaningful report cards and lots of pictures. Would definitely book with her again! :)”
“Zilalai was a great sitter for our cat Moogle! She was prompt in her visits and sent photos/notes every day. She was also happy to arrange and meet and greet beforehand to let us and our cat get comfortable with her first. We came home after a week to a happy and healthy cat. Thanks Zilalai!”
“Anthony helped a lot with my emergent request in the afternoon for a drop in visit. Super nice and efficient even during holidays! I appreciate it a lot.”
“Alyssa is a dream catsitter and I will definitely book her again! She made sure that the cats were well-fed and clean, and she always played with them and gave them extra pets. Earl, Yo-Yo, and I all recommend her!”
“Sydney was so great! She fit us in to a busy holiday weekend last minute and was very communicative about our two cats--she even cleaned up some vomit (yuck!) and tracked our nervous cats to their hiding places to get pictures for us. Would def recommend!”
“Adelle is always great! She’s sat our kitties 2 years in a row around the holidays and always gives great updates. Our kitties are always well cared for when we get home!!”
“My two cats adore Maegan - and she’s so conscientious and kind. Always above and beyond!! Even the cranky super senior old lady comes out to say hi to her - and she hates everyone.”
“Julia took great care of our cat! She is communicative, reliable, understood/followed all care instructions, and clearly an animal lover. We knew our cat was in good hands. Highly recommend Julia for your animal sitting!”
About: If you're looking for someone who can truly keep up with an active dog, you’ve found the right person. I am an outdoor enthusiast who believes that a tired dog is a happy dog. Living in Allston (02134), I am right in the heart of the action and familiar with all the best local routes, from the Charles River Esplanade and Ringer Park to the Soldiers Field Road Dog Park. Why choose me? - New to Rover, Fully Dedicated: As I am just starting my journey on this platform, I am highly motivated to provide top-tier care and earn your trust through 5-star service. - Fully Mobile & Local: I am very mobile and cover Allston, Brighton, Brookline, and Cambridge. - Maximum Flexibility: Since I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute requests or mid-day walks when your plans change or work runs late. - Tailored Activity: From high-energy runs for athletic pups to slow, mindful strolls for senior dogs, I adjust every session to your pet's specific age, health, and energy level. Cat Care & Drop-In Visits When I’m not out on the trails, I’m a dedicated cat lover. I have extensive experience with feeding schedules, play habits, and specialized care. I am punctual, reliable, and will ensure your home stays exactly how you left it. I’m excited to meet my new furry neighbors in the area. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to schedule a quick, free meet-and-greet to see if we’re a perfect match! - Monday – Friday: I specialize in the mid-day window (11 AM – 2 PM). This is the core part of my weekday routine, dedicated to giving your pets a much needed break, fresh air, and exercise while you are at work or in classes. - Weekends: My schedule is fully flexible. Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or just need extra coverage, I can typically accommodate any time that works for you. - Local & Responsive: Since I live right here in Allston, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. This allows me to be very punctual and often available for last-minute requests or short-notice drop-ins. - Whether in your home or on a walk, your pet’s safety and emotional well being are my top priorities. I treat every animal with the same level of care I’ve given to my family’s and friends' pets for years. - Routine & Comfort: I strictly follow your established routines (feeding, exercise, medication) to minimize stress for your pet while you're away. - Active Supervision: During walks, I am always alert to our surroundings, ensuring we stay on safe paths and maintain a respectful distance from other animals to avoid any unpredictable situations. - Home Security: I take your trust seriously. I am very attentive to home security and will always double check that all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked and the alarm (if applicable) is set before I leave. - Clear Communication: I love sending quick photo updates or a short message after each visit so you can see that your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been watching neighbors and friends pets for as long as I can remember! Anytime a furry friend needed a companion I was the one to call. I work full time but am only in office Tuesday and Wednesday. I will gladly stop in anytime after 6 pm on those days otherwise I WFH Monday Thursday and Friday and can stop in three times a day then! I will be glad to walk your dog or just come check on them in your home! I can crate them or do whatever you would feel best about!
“Alana is an amazing pet sitter. We did a meet and greet before booking, she asked a ton of great questions and took notes. I felt super comfortable having her check on my Kitten (Sunny) and I would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter. Thanks so much Alana!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old and I’ve taken care of several senior dogs throughout college. I’m very active and would love to take dogs on very long walks / runs. I am completely free this summer to take care of pets. I quit my research job a few weeks ago and will be enjoying the weather and city until I start school in August. I will follow all instructions and make sure your pet is taken care of exactly how you’d like. I’m very communicative and will share loads of updates and photos!
“Sarah is amazing! We've booked her twice and both times have come home to a happy and healthy kitty. Our cat absolutely loves her, and we feel so secure knowing she is taking care of him while we are away.”
“Was incredibly attuned to my lil anxious Winston, provided consistent helpful feedback & was just overall a perfect pet sitter for my baby boy! I was nervous using rover for the first time, and Rachel exceeded my expectations & went above and beyond. Will be working with her again!”
About: I am a recent college grad spending some time on my own, but greatly missing my pets! I have experience with all kinds of animals including medically complex pets, seniors, puppies, doodles and other hairy friends, and more! I am a part time intern working about 20 hours per week looking for some friends to fill my downtime. I can look after your animals any time of day with this flexibility. Good for weekdays and weekends! I follow a strict schedule with animals. Feeding routines, walks, treats, and training are all scheduled and followed to a T in my household. This makes it easy for me to apply these in other households.

Eleanor is an attentive animal sitter, cognizant of instructions and Mango’s and Nori’s quirks. We appreciate the detailed reports and pics in real-time, while we were away. This was our third time engaging Eleanor. The kitties ask for her by name (at least that is what we fancy they are meowing about) each time we take a trip.
Jordan is professional, reliable, and flexible! She was able to pivot when I forgot to leave the key, and accommodated my buildings availability to let her in despite having made a set time through Rover. I truly appreciate her commitment to my animal's comfort and wellbeing (and mine too). Thank you!
We are privileged and grateful that we booked Kira to take care of our two cats! She was very communicative while we were away for several days, and Kira was attentive to the individual behaviors of each of our sweet girls :) Her photos of our cats made us feel like we were right at home with them and that they were both safe in loving hands. We look forward to booking with Kira againas our first option, as long as she is available! Thanks again ☺️
Paige did a great job taking care of my cat while I was gone. She was very attentive and asked a lot of questions to make sure Meeko was getting the best care. Everything was very clean when I got home and I could tell that Meeko was well taken care of. I would definitely have Paige care for him again.
Liza was fantastic and got along so well with my very energetic and eager cats! Liza was very communicative if there were any questions about litter box habits or feeding schedules, and Liza took the time to play with my cats and sit with them for attention time during each visit. I was very comfortable being out of town because I knew Liza was taking such good care of my kitties!
I could sit here and rave over and over again about Emily! I am a very anxious cat mom and she handled my cats and mostly me with grace. I never felt like they were in bad hands. My little girls are very needy and also love Emily. Shes so kind and loving to them. Could not recommend her more.
Alyssa took amazing care of my dog and cat while I was away for a work trip. She was very kind and understanding about my nerves of being away and leaving them but she was able to ease my worries with all of her detailed updates and many pictures of my pets. Thank you so much Alyssa!
