About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.
“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”
“Helen and Ji are so good with boy. They gave me videos and pics throughout the day. Cornelius came back running and playful, all the signs of a happy dog. They are my only doggysitters from now on!”
“Zarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)”
“Jing and her husband were great. They took great care of my dog for the week. Their house is in a great location and their fenced yard was great for my dog who is not always the best off leash. They clearly care for dogs. I would definitely find Jing again!”
“We went on vacation for a week and Obi had a wonderful stay with Barbara and Jen. He stayed active and played with other dogs. Obi is sometimes a picky eater and they managed really well.”
“Phillipa sends the best pictures and is so great about communicating updates throughout the weekend. I've booked with her before and will happily book again as my dog had a great time!”
“Kaitlyn gave S’mores her meds while I was away (which wasn’t something we had discussed in advance because I only found out she needed them that morning!) and S’mores was happy when I picked her up. Kaitlyn was very accommodating to her needs.”
“Gina did a wonderful job taking care of Theo! I appreciated her communication and updates! It made me so happy to so see that Theo was content and comfortable with her.”
“Jordan did an incredible job taking care of Spud for a last minute weekend boarding at her home. Spud clearly had a great time and was well taken care of. Much appreciated and would love to use her services again!”
“Highly recommend! Sunisa was super accommodating and took great care of Koda. I received photos and updates daily, allowing me to have total peace of mind while away. Thank you!”
“Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!”
“Tae did a WONDERFUL job caring for our son. She sent me lots of photos and updates during his stay, which I absolutely loved! She went above and beyond-giving him multiple walks, playtime at the park, and lots of snuggles and blanket tucks. Thank you Tae!”
“Our elderly (16 yo) dog had a great time over the weekend with Michael. He was responsible with meds administration and seemed to know how to handle a senior dog probably. Drop off and pick up was easy, Micheal kept us updated on travel and through the weekend. I will definitely continue using Michael's services in the future.”
“Jamie , Kenzie and Nikki were AMAZING taking care of Escarcha. We know that she was completely safe and well fed and they sent us videos and photos of everyone playing with her. Escarcha even warmed up to their dog Sammy although she doesn’t love hanging with other dogs. We highly recommend them!!”
“Our 5 month old puppy did really well with Jess and her family. He was very well cared for. We got lots of updates. Jess was very easy to work with and clearly knows and loves dogs. We will use her again.”
“Isabella was great! She attended to my dog perfectly and was extremely communicative, updating with lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend and would definitely use her again!”
“Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.”

Brookline dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shuping is one of the best “nanas” Cookie has ever had, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her through Rover. From the moment Cookie stayed with her, it was clear how much warmth, kindness, and genuine love she gives to the pets in her care. She treated Cookie as if she were her own, and that gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. One of our favorite things was receiving her sweet updates. She would send us adorable photos and videos and share little stories about Cookie’s day. The way she affectionately referred to Cookie as a “little rascal” always made us smile and showed just how much she cared for her. As pet parents, being away from your beloved pet can be difficult. Finding someone who loves, cares for, and cherishes your pet almost as much as you do is truly a blessing. That’s exactly what we found in Shuping. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive caregiver for their pet. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. We would happily trust Cookie with her again anytime.
Zarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)
Elena is amazing!!! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone for boarding and Elena put both me and my dog at ease. She took amazing care of my dog, and sent regular updates and pictures which were so appreciated! She was also flexible with dates and pick up/drop off times and very easy to coordinate with. Elena is clearly experienced and loves dogs so much, and was quick to learn my dog’s likes and personality, which helped my dog adjust quickly to Elena. We love her and will absolutely be booking with her again! Could not recommend her highly enough.
My dog Rory had the best time with Margaret!! Margaret was communicative and sent photo updates every day which was great. She also went above and beyond to do fun activities with Rory including daily fetch, long walks, etc. Rory looked so happy in all the pics and I’m sure she misses her new friend Margaret!
Nutmeg absolutely loved staying with Kathryn, Matthew, and Tony Bark. We had a good meet and greet before, and then when we dropped her off, our nervous rescue confidently left us for Tony. We got several good pictures and a couple videos of her lounging about, going on walks, and playing with Tony. When we picked her up, she was quite disappointed that she had to leave her new friends! Great sitting experience.
Anna took exceptional care of my dog over a long weekend. It was clear when my dog got home that he had a relaxing and good experience with her and Kuma. She sent so many pictures and updates while I was away! I look forward to the next time she can watch my dog because I know he'll have a great time and she'll give him all the love and care he needs.
