“Chelsea was fantastic with Benny!”
2. Natalia K.
“Natalia is great. She was very warm and friendly when I met her and my dog loved her instantly. It is so comforting to me to get pictures of S’mores when she’s on her walk and then a picture when she is back home! Would absolutely recommend Natalia for your pup.”
3. Joseph C.
“Joseph did a very last minute, same day walk with Cava. He was very understanding and flexible- even managed to get in a meet and greet before the scheduled walk that night! I will definitely be rebooking with Joseph in the future.”

5. Chloe T.
“Chloe took absolutely awesome care of our sweet little dog. She communicated with us throughout the day and made sure our (very anxious) dog was put at ease before she left. Thank you :)”
6. Milagros E.
“Milagros did great with our stubborn, spoiled pup who sometimes down-right refuses to take her walks. Thank you for spending time with Clover!!!”
7. Angela W.
“Angela has been my go-to friend to watch my cat Uno when I leave for vacation or a long weekend. Angela confirms all necessary details prior to my departure to make sure she’s on the same page with food, medication, litter change, etc. cadence. She spends time with Uno to give him the much-desired love, pets, and play time, and sends me pictures of him living his best life with his feather toys. I know that when I leave Uno in Angela’s care, he will get the best treatment and love! Excited to hear that she is interested in signing up for Rover and bringing her responsible, organized nature as well as gentle nature to other pets in the Boston area.”

14. Sara L.
“Sara is awesome and super amazing with pets. She loves all animals and treats every one that she sees as if it were her own. She is so loving and caring and willing to go out of her way to make sure that animals are cared for. I would always feel extremely comfortable leaving my little dog with her because I knew she would love him and take only the best care of him. She is very responsible and trustworthy, and I can not recommend her enough!”

18. Melissa R.
“Melissa is great! She takes my elderly dog for a walk on my one long day away from the house. She always gives me a lot of info on how my old girl did and sends me the cutest pictures of her rolling around in the grass at the park and playing with other dogs. She also feeds my girl lunch and gives my cat a little snuggle too! I would definitely recommend her!”
19. Sifan W.
“Jessie is the most loving and caring dog-sitter I know. She has a poodle of her own and by visiting her home I saw her always putting her pet before herself and makes sure they’re fed and comfy. She’s very responsible that she has to return to take her dog for a walk from events that’s important to her. I strongly recommend Jessie if anyone needs someone to take care of their dog.”
20. Mia K.
“Mia is a great care-taker of our dog, Sushi! She knows when he needs to go out, when he needs food, etc. and is great at spoiling him. She's really good at looking up information if she is worried about something or doesn't know about something, etc. She loves to walk, play, and snuggle with him.”
