About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and currently have two dogs of my own, including a husky I’ve had for almost 14 years. I also have experience caring for cats and fish. Over the years, I’ve become very comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, basic training, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I also attended dog training classes with my husky, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to each dog’s personality and needs. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and will make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently a student on summer break while working full-time, so my weekday availability is Monday through Friday after 6 p.m. I’m also available anytime on Saturdays and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, care, and consistency in their routines. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in both my home and a client’s home. I have experience with walking, feeding, bathing, basic training, and caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I pay close attention to routines and instructions, and I’ll always treat your pets with patience, care, and attention like they’re my own.
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.
“Anna did a great job at caring for my cat. She followed all the instructions I gave her, gave me daily updates, and my cat warmed up to her super quickly. I would definitely book with her again the next time I have to go away!”
“Shilpa did a great job with our cat Frieda. She made sure Frieda was fed and happy and was good about communication. She sent a good variety of photos as well so we were sure Frieda was doing well.”
“Lani is THE BEST. She does a great job of taking care of my cat when I am away. She is reliable and not only takes care of the basics, but brushes, pets, plays with and shows affection for my fluffy baby, so I have piece of mind.”
“Lulu took amazing care of our cat and provided detailed updates after each visit along with pictures and videos while feeding, giving insulin injections, cleaning up after, and spending time with Callie. We look forward to booking with her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and understand their personalities, comfort needs, and unique habits. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet with the same love and respect I give my own. My interest in pursuing dog behavior work helps me be more attentive and in tune with each dog’s emotions. Whether your pup enjoys active outings or relaxed snuggles, I create a safe, happy, and reassuring experience tailored to them. I'm currently working part-time and maintain a pretty flexible schedule. I am happy to coordinate my schedule around your pup's routine in order to be dependable and reliable. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, I work on ensuring pets receive attentive care while visiting their own home. I like to carefully follow routines and provide updates after each visit. I'm located in Allston, close to local parks giving me easy access to great walking routes suited to both high-energy and relaxed dogs.
“Cori was a delight to work with. She was communicative and I felt totally comfortable trusting her to take great care of my cat. So glad he had her to keep him company this week!”
About: I have been an animal lover in my whole life growing up. I had a white cocker spaniel named Rainbow (that was the first thing I thought of when I got him as a five-year-old). she sparked a lifelong love for pets since then I’ve carried for cats and dogs of many friends and family members. I am currently a full-time student. I am able to have drop in visits on the weekends and also some time during the week. I can do doggy day care during the weekends and a few days during the week as well. I am able to on-board depending on a few factors and house sit. I do live in an apartment with a few other roommates who can help take care and provide services. There is a park near where I live which I can take them too.
About: I grew up with two border collies in Vermont, so I’m very comfortable with high energy, intelligent breeds that need exercise and mental stimulation. We currently have a puppy in Boston so we are also experienced with basic training and routines, and the extra attention needed for younger dogs. I enjoyed taking care of my friends and family’s pet when they are away, and always making sure they feel safe and comfortable away from their owners. Whether it’s an active dog that needs long walks or puppy that needs patience and structure, I tailor my care to each dogs needs. I currently work remotely most days and have a flexible schedule. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide regular walks, feeding and attention. With a puppy, I’m in a consistent routine and there’s a park nearby for easy outdoor time! In my home, I try to make it feel like a second home for your dog - lots of attention, regular walks, and good balance of playtime and downtime. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and settled. In your home, I keep things familiar and low stress by following your dogs normal schedule. I always like to keep you updated along the way with lots of photos of your pup! :)
About: I am a mother to a 5 year old Siberian Husky who has a lot of energy and loves to be outside. My favorite thing to do is to take him on 1 hour long walks to the Paul Revere Park and the North Point Park usually twice a day. We also love walking the Charles River Esplanade. I’m currently in grad school and have availability between classes. I would love to take your dogs on a refreshing, energetic, fun long walk or run. This would be without my Husky of course. I grew up with dogs my whole life, and have a lot of experience with a variance of breeds, weights, and temperament. I’ve also taken dog training classes with my husky. I look forward to helping you out with walking your pups! I know our dogs are our babies, so I’m excited to give them a wonderful time outside. I have availability between 12:30pm and 5:00pm Monday though Friday. Weekends may be flexible. I just have a lot of free time that I wouldn’t mind spending walking doggies. I will be on time to pick up your pet and will have a patient kind manner so they sense safely and comfortability. I am comfortable with crating your pet if needed and filling up food/water if needed.
Brighton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Chelsea has been an amazing, trustworthy, and responsible friend for our pet dog whenever we go out of town and need someone for drop-in visits / walks. I have been a repeat customer, and feel 100% safe knowing that Chelsea is professional and knowledgeable about all of my dog's needs. I can fully vouch that you won't regret choosing Chelsea for all your Rover needs!
Thank you for watching Beanie! Definitely would recommend. Minhyung stayed longer than necessary for the drop in to give extra care and companionship to Beanie which meant so much. She provided a thorough review. I came back to a very happy pup. Looking forward to having you watch Beanie again
Vinny did so great with Milo! She provided water and food and was able to play so long with Milo as from what I can see. Honestly I was worried at first with getting a drop in since I didn’t know what to expect but Vinny was very accommodating throughout the entire experience and treated Milo so well. If you need a bit of extra time with her for your pet, just ask, Vinny was more than willing to accommodate a little bit more of her time to take care of Milo.
Arvind was able to accommodate for a last-minute request spanning several days and took such great care of our dog. Normally a bit wary of strangers and staying home alone, our dog looked calm and happy in the many photos Arvind took. Plus, he left us various notes on our dog’s behavior, how he was doing, and the treats/feeding schedule. It was so comforting to know that while we were out of town, someone else was making sure our baby was cared for to the utmost extent. Thank you Arvind!
Devin did a wonderful job taking care of Mochi while I was away. He was punctual and took care of Mochi like his own. His communication is excellent, love the pictures he sent after every visit. Mochi was so excited to see Devin, clearly he’s made a great friend. I would definitely recommend Devin for anyone looking for a respectful and responsible person to watch your furry friend while you’re away.
Natasha was Great! She watched over our 4-month old puppy while we went out on our own for the first time. She got him through the whining and right into playing, training and resting. She took pictures, and gave us a thoughtful report on what she saw, based on her experience in training dogs. Highly recommended!
