“Alyssa has caries out drop in visits with our rabbit and age has done a great job. Checking in daily on him making sure he got food, fresh water, hay and vegstables. Alyssa has been very service minded, responsible, and communicative sending us daily status and pictures. Highly recommending her and I will definitly place a rebooking the next time we need a rabbit sitter.”
About: About Me: I am a dog parent myself, with a 25lb Terrier mix named Lemonade who my husband and I rescued from a shelter in Texas about 6 years ago. Lemon is my best friend and little shadow. I am usually anxious to leave her in the care of others, so I deeply empathize with other owners who just want their pet to be safe, loved, and cared for responsibly. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have a particular fondness for small breeds, but I truly love them all! I have done overnight stays with dogs ranging from 5-45 lbs (Toy Poodles, Doodles, small Terrier breeds, pitty mixes to name a few) but also have walking experience with medium/large sized dogs such as Standard Poodles, Portuguese Water Dogs, Golden Retrievers and Lab/Boxer mixes. A fun fact about me is that I am passionate about ALL animals, and one day I hope to have a small hobby farm with chickens, ducks, and goats. I would also like to adopt a cat in the near future. I am comfortable handling all types of animals from cats and dogs to rodents, rabbits, reptiles and birds. Additional Skills/ Experience: - Administering meds- oral, eye/ear drops, injections (ex: insulin). I require an in-person meet and greet to go over instructions if you need help in this department - Walking tools: Harnesses, Martingale collars, and Herm Sprenger (prong) training collar experience - Grooming: If your dog enjoys pampering or has a coat that requires brushing, it is one of my favorite activities! I brush my dog daily and it has become a relaxing routine and bonding experience for both of us. I have extensive personal experience with curly coats that require regular maintenance and brushing (Poodles, PWDs) - Puppies/ routine training: I would be glad to learn the commands you are teaching/ implement them during walks/ drop-ins/ overnights to help you continue your training regimen while away/ at work. - Seniors: I have experience with (sometimes grumpy) seniors up to 16 years old, and therefore I am not new to doggy diapers, incontinence issues, med administration, and even blindness and loss of hearing. I approach older pets with patience, gentleness and respect for boundaries! I’d love to hear from you if you have any questions. Treating your pet like my own is always my top priority! ❤️ I am available 7 days a week! - Flexible hours on Monday- Friday - Walks: weekdays only - Drop-ins & Over-night stays: weekends & weekdays based on availability I lead with respect and compassion for all animals and pet owners, and I will abide by any specific instructions you’d like to provide. As an anxious pet owner myself, I want the best for your pet and I strive to make everyone involved comfortable, providing updates and photos throughout my service. If you prefer to meet me before booking, please reach out and I would be more than happy to do so! I do also have an enclosed back yard with a dog gate that is suitable for small dogs, if you are local and prefer to drop off.
“Emily was fantastic! She has a very calming demeanor and was so patient with my active dog! She really kept me in the loop when I was away with updates and pictures of my dog, and made sure he was well cared for! Emily is a competent, trustworthy, reliable and warm dog sitter whom I highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Adelle did a fantastic job checking in on our two cats while we were away. She communicated well and made the process seamless. This was our first time using Rover and we will be using Rover (and hopefully working with Adelle) again because of our great experience with her!”
“Courtney was excellent! Very kind to my anxious cat with some behavioral issues. She was super patient with her which I appreciate, even when my cat wasn’t being the most welcoming! Courtney also had great communication and took many photos. Thanks again!”
“This is the first time we are using the daily visit service with Freddie, and Maegan was wonderful! She was very gentle and understanding of his shyness and the time it takes him to open up to new people, and during her daily visits she patiently spent the time needed to get his trust, and in a few days Freddie opened up to her and showed her his usual cuddly and playful personality ☺️ We also got elaborate daily notes and lot of pictures during Maegan’s time with Freddie. I highly recommend Maegan!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.
“Alina took care of my 8 month old large golden doodle. She is the most calm, reliable, responsible and responsive person. We were a little worried as we were leaving our puppy first time and were anxious to how will he respond to be home alone. She took extra care and did every possible thing to make us feel comfortable and him feel happy. She is extremely compassionate and loves animals. She takes here task very seriously and performs all tasks diligently. I will absolutely use her again in future. She is the best we could have. THANK YOU SO MUCH ALINA YOU WERE SUPERLATIVE!!”
“Chloe is so great with my kitty Bo! I’m a 4x repeat customer! While I was away Chloe noticed a problem with Bo and let me know immediately and even offered to contact the vet for her. We appreciate how vigilant she was! Will def book with her every time I’m out of town!”
“Sabina went above and beyond! I’m happy to have a dedicated sitter to take care of my cat while traveling. I would highly recommend Sabina for all your pet care needs!”
“Bobbi was an amazing sitter for our dog, Callie! We loved getting all the updates and pictures while we were gone and truly appreciate the love and care that Bobbi gave to her. We ended up crossing paths with Bobbi when we got home on the last night, and we could just see how much Callie already loved her! Bobbi is extremely friendly and will spend a lot of time making sure your dog isn't restless and that your dog feels lots of love! We will definitely book Bobbi again in the future. If you're looking for a Rover that will treat your dog better than even you while you are gone, don't hesitate to book Bobbi!”

Zhao was so incredible with my cat. She followed her routine to a tee and provided excellent daily updates and pictures. My cat has some medical needs that I felt Zhao was abundantly capable of handling and I was able to relax while she was in Zhao’s care. I absolutely recommend her as a cat sitter.
My kitties seem so happy and energetic even after I returned from a long trip. I've relied on her service for more than a year and she's been consistently thoughtful and transparent. I'm always super impressed with her, I would highly recommend her service!!
Allison is great! We were recommended her by a friend and she’s hands down the best sitter we’ve had. Every time she visited she’d feed our cats and then proceed to play with them/give them pets for the rest of the time. And she’d send SO MANY cute pics!! Our cats can be a little standoffish but they took to her right away. We’ll definitely be booking again the next time we travel - we didn’t have to worry about the cats at all with Allison watching them :)
Fourth time is the charm! As always, Nathan took exceptional care of my two cats, and I love that they trust him so much. Thank you Nathan for going above and beyond caring for my packages and food shipments, I always am comforted knowing you are taking care of things at home! All the best, Stephanie.
Winita was fantastic with our super shy cats! They normally hide from all guests, but she knew the right mix of treats and games to get them out of their hiding places. By the end of our short trip, they loved her! She was also on top of all the other cat-based chores. My favorite part is all the videos she sent of our cats. I highly recommend her!
My husband and I were nervous to leave our cats for our first big trip since they both started on new medications and speciality diets, but Leo made it as stress-free as possible by being so caring, reliable, and communicative the whole time (and great at giving the kitties their meds!). We felt so at ease knowing the cats were in such good hands!
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!
Couldn’t have asked for more from Jordan. She was super responsive and helped us navigate a tricky situation in terms of gaining access to our living space. Took phenomenal care of our cat who tends to not do well around new people. Cannot thank her enough for everything!!!! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, knowledgeable and friendly care giver for their furry loved one.
