“Julie was absolutely wonderful! She gave us updates and pictures throughout the weekend. She went out of her way to make our dog feel comfortable (he can be a bit of a nervous dog) and gave him plenty of exercise. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks Julie!”
About: Hello! I grew up with dogs all my life and love getting to know each one's personality. Back at home (in NY), I have an American Bulldog, Willow, who is a ball of joy and who I miss dearly! I volunteered at an animal rescue for several years, and now in Boston I have a schedule that allows me to have flexibility to make your pet my priority! I love lounging, walking and exploring the city, and couldn't think of a better way to do it than having your dog with me! I am happy to cater to your dog's specific needs - I can be high-energy or low-key depending on your pup! Throughout the summer I have great flexibility as I am currently studying for the Bar Exam! I’m looking forward to fitting your pup into my day! I am trustworthy, dependable, and will treat your pets as my own. I understand how they are members of the family, just as my dog is to me.
“Jumped in the last minute to help us with a skittish cat. She was AMAZING. Totally dependable, thorough and helped us get our kitty to the vet and back without incident. Really appreciated her thoroughness. Couldn’t do better for a pet sitter / carer.”
“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.”
“I had to take one of my cats to the emergency vet the night before a week-long vacation, and it was very reassuring having Isabel taking care of her while I was away - administering medication, and managing the surgical cone. Isabel did a great job handling the last-minute adjustment to the level of care that was needed, and was cheerful through the whole thing!”
“Anastasia was fantastic! She went out of her way to make sure our little scaredy cat Jake was super comfortable, and even went back to double-check on his comfort. She also was very communicative and prompt. And even brought in our mail! We will definitely be asking her for her services again! She’s wonderful!”
“Our cat loved having visits and snuggles and we loved getting updates. Morgan and Meaghan were professional, cordial and so sweet with our cat. We would definitely go with them again.”
“Taylor was so great to step in last minute for us when our last sitter moved. She was kind and patient, even when having trouble with our lock box, she still spent the time allotted with our cats and they seemed to love her. She was great in her communication and we would love to use Taylor in the future! My husband and I highly recommend Taylor for anyone’s fur babies!”
“Mirabel was fantastic with my two cats while we were on vacation! She went above and beyond and was extremely communicative. I would highly recommend Mirabel!”
“Jacqueline was great with my kitties! She was very communicative and helpful on keeping an eye on more than just my fur babies. If considering travel, you will have a piece of mind with Jacqueline caring for your pets!”
“Nathan was great with our cats, it was clear they were really comfortable with him. We really appreciated his responsiveness and flexibility on short notice”
“Lianne has taken care of my cat multiple times and she has been wonderful each time, taking care of the basics as well as playtime. From the pictures, it is clear that my cat looks forward to Lianne's visits and I would recommend her to anyone in need of care for their pet.”
About: Forever animal lover! I’ve always had and have loved being around animals. From playing, to walks, to feeding, happy to help you take care of your four legged loved ones. I have availability to help out with your pets in the evenings and on weekends! I’m available to stop by and play, feed, walk or just keep them company. I am able to walk your pup and take them to local parks. I can also take them out to play in your backyard as well!
“I booked Melissa fairly last-minute to take care of my kitty over Christmas, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She sent me lots of pictures and detailed descriptions of each visit, and I knew my girl was in good hands while I was overseas!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of different breeds since I was 10. I have cared for family, friends and neighbors dogs. Additionally, I have volunteered at humane societies socializing and training dogs. I currently have a 3 year old Samoyed/Husky mix. I currently work three 12 hours shifts a week which rotate between days and nights weekly. The other four days of the week I am home and available for drops ins and walks! I know my schedule 1-3 months in advance and will keep my availability up to date on rover. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication requirements, walking routes, and any household rules the pet is used to. I always check that water bowls are full, spaces are clean, and the home is secure when I leave.

I am so so grateful for Alyssa! She was able to watch my two cats for what was a pretty last minute trip. She was super timely, always very responsive, and took a ton of pictures with each check in. My cats loved her and clearly felt very calm and cared for while i was gone. She also left great updates and i felt so reassured. Couldn’t recommend her more - she is great with cats and i assume all other animals too :) thank you Alyssa!!
We feel so fortunate to have found Nick! Literally the day after our meet and greet, we learned we needed to travel out of town for a family funeral. Nick accepted the drop-in sitting job on short notice, came when he said he would, followed all our cat care instructions and gave our boys some quality time consistent with their individual needs. It took away some of the stress associated with that unplanned trip, and now I'm not so anxious about our future travel plans! Thank you, Nick!!
As usual, Leo has taken outstanding care of my kitty while I was away for almost two weeks. The visits were on time and I got lots of photos and candid comments about how my kitty was doing - and he was doing so well! I could tell he was entertained playing with Leo and even became quite affectionate, which is rare for his skittish character. Leo also watered the cat grass and left the apartment tidy and clean. Over the years I have come to know Leo as very reliable, easy to communicate with and genuinely attentive to my cat's needs.
Suzete is the best! She cares for our cats like they’re her own. Even our shy girl loves playing with Suzete! She is patient and is able to administer insulin (a tall task!) to our boy. She always leaves our apartment cleaner than she found it and sends thorough updates. We are lucky to have found her!
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.
I’m lucky my 17 yr old cat has Grace to look in on him. She’s very responsive to his needs, whether it is to play or sit and be scratched under the ears. She’s sends reports so I don’t worry about him. Grace is his favorite. He tells me by how calm and content he is when I get home.
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!!
