About: I have taken care of my relatives' dogs for as long as I can remember, I have a ton of experience with dogs and have grown up with them my whole life. I would love to be able to do the same for other families as a college student while at Boston College! My parents take care of my dog while I am at school but when I am home I love to take my dog for walks, play with her, and frequently give her baths for my parents. I have a fenced in yard with a pool but I would be going to clients homes, not keeping any pets at mine as I am at school.
“Maegan took such good care of our pup! She was sick this week, and we were devastated to have to leave her. But Maegan was sweet to her and made us feel so much better. We really appreciate her!!!”
About: As a lifelong pet lover and daughter of a vet tech, I have lots of experience spending time with and caring for cats and dogs of all ages. All through my life my family has had pets and we often fostered animals, especially kittens and puppies, at my home. As I renter I haven’t been able to have dogs of my own since moving out of my family’s house. Our dogs are the highlight of visiting home and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs while you are away! I work from home during the day with a very flexible schedule. I could make some visits in the mornings, but I am mostly available in the evenings during the week and all day Friday - Sunday. I might have more time around the holidays, as well. I can also housesit if I have notice since I can work from anywhere. I’m not able to host any pets at my home due to having my own spicy kitties, but I’m happy to housesit or do drop in visits or walks. Let me know what you are looking for and I’m happy to help!
About: What sets me apart is my understanding of animal behavior and my calm, confident approach with pets of all temperaments.

I treat every home with respect and always leave things neat and tidy.
“Alexander has been wonderful with Pocket! He’s reliable, punctual, and has been so great about keeping him comfortable and happy. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks, and I’ve really appreciated how dependable he’s been. I highly recommend him!”
“Sydney has been amazing for our dogs Myla and Malibu. She is quick to respond, reliable and trustworthy. Our girls love their walks and drop ins from Sydney! Can not recommend someone more!”
About: I didn’t grow up with a pet (only fish) but I’ve played with and taken care of dogs and cats for friends/family for years. Currently on a career break and I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment so looking to fill some time playing with and walking dogs. Open to cats as well! I’m currently taking a break from the corporate world, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk your pets (for dogs), feed them, take them out for potty breaks, play with them and anything else that make them feel safe and happy while their owners are away! I’m happy to keep your pets company however suitable for them so that they feel comfortable and safe with me. I’ll take time to get to know each of your pets and their routine, personality, needs, and make sure to follow your instructions.
About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.
“Alissa is the best!! My dog Coco immediately loved her when they met and I never worried on their walks. She also sent over great pictures during that walks that made my day! Highly recommend Alissa☺️”
“Kayleigh was very easy to communicate with and flexible with her arrangements as I had booked two walkers for the same day! She was very willing to change times and thoughtful about my needs. I will absolutely have her back next week!”
About: I grew up with two English Setters and cared for them from their puppy years through their senior stages, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. I’ve also dog-sat many times for friends and neighbors and have experience walking multiple dogs at once, safely and confidently. I truly love animals and take pride in providing attentive, reliable, and loving care treating every pet like my own! I work a 9 to 5, so anytime before 9 AM, during lunchtime, and anytime after 5 PM, I am available. Weekends I typically am available all day long! I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’ll always follow any instructions you have for walks, feeding, routines, or anything else they need. I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I also know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure they get plenty of attention and care!
“Grace is an absolute gem, AND we were lucky enough to be her very first Rover walk! We have a 1-year-old bull terrier, Romani, who is crazy, hyper, and loveable in equal measure. Grace took it all in stride like she'd been doing this for years. She was incredibly sweet with her, and Romani loved her right back. She tracked her pee breaks and poop breaks and kept her out walking the full time (maybe a little over actually!). That kind of attentiveness and communication means the world when you're trusting someone with your fur baby. If you're on the fence about booking Grace, don't be. She's a natural, and we will 100% be booking her again. Give this girl all the five stars! 🐾”
About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, bunnies, fish… you name it! Growing up as the go-to pet sitter in my New Hampshire hometown, I’ve had the joy of looking after pets of all kinds, ages, sizes, and personalities. Now based in Boston, I’m excited to connect with new furry friends and provide them with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’m patient, responsible, and truly passionate about animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, a cuddle buddy, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m here to help! Let’s make your pet’s day a little brighter! I’m currently a graduate student, with most of my classes and commitments happening Monday through Wednesday. That means I’m wide open Thursday through Sunday to spend quality time with your pets! I also have flexibility throughout the week, so if you need a quick drop-in or walk outside of those days, just reach out—I’m happy to make it work! My experience caring for pets has taught me that safety always comes first. Whether we’re at home or out for a walk, I’m always mindful of the little things that make a big difference—double-checking that doors are secure, food is stored safely, leashes are properly fastened, and any potential hazards are out of reach. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority every step of the way.
“Catherine was a great dog walker! She responded well to my nervous dog and he grew comfortable with her super quick. She always returned my dog well exercised at the end of the walk!”

Gabriel was terrific with our little man (9.5 year old Yorkie poo). Our regular dog walker was on vacation and Gabriel reliably covered 4 days of walks. He is a dog owner himself and a dog lover, and we could tell that he took great care of our dog. He was an excellent communicator and was prompt with his pick up on each of the four days he walked our dog. We would definitely use Gabriel in the future.
Stephanie was amazing with our dogs. They are a handful and both close to 60lbs and stubborn to boot. She handled them well and they came home happy. Incredible photos and communication and the respect of our space and schedules make the entire experience stellar. Thank you!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
