About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles since I was 14. There’s no greater joy for me then being able to provide a happy, reliable, and safe experience for others furry friends. As an owner of four cats I know how our little friends make such a large impact on our everyday lives and the worries that come from wanting the best care for them. I’m especially passionate in elderly, and pets with disabilities pet care and understand their types of needs like medication schedules. It’s be a dream being able to help care for them. I also love to send lots of photos to the furry friends family to let them know their routine is being followed. I am self employed as a party princess entertainer and my schedule is very flexible. I am an active person who enjoys hiking, long car rides, as well as reading in my down time. I’m looking to be more active in my community since my partner recently began working from home and can provide our own pets more quality time. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When house sitting or walking, I care for every pet in their own environment and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding and walking routine, medications or special needs, favorite activities, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. During walks, I focus on safe handling, staying aware of our surroundings, and making sure your pet gets appropriate exercise and enrichment. During house sitting and walks, I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, cleanliness, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and currently care for three cats and a dog of my own, so I’m no stranger to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and the occasional pet with a mind of its own. I also regularly care for my grandmother’s cats whenever she’s away, giving me experience looking after pets that aren’t my own. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. Whether your pet wants an adventure, a game of fetch, or just someone to relax with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet has a great time. I work for USPS, but I keep my Rover calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available. On my days off and during my free time, I love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll be there on time and make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special routines. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a young kid. I also volunteer with my local animal shelter and make sure the dogs there are getting outside and their spaces are clean. It’s always been a passion of mine to take care of animals and I’m especially patient with animals that may have behavioral problems due to my shelter experience. I work full time as of right now and I’m attending school. For the moment I can only do weekend boarding for dogs because I want to make sure your animal can get the attention it deserves. I have one cat who tends to mind his business and snooze in hidden spaces. Unless the parents have a schedule that needs to be followed for their fur baby they are allowed to roam around the apartment and use the furniture as much as they’d like. As for animals in the clients home I will surely make sure they’re entertained and exercised; however, the specifics of pet care will ultimately be determined by the customer as I know no one dog can be cared for the same.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and pets for over 10 years. Whether it’s a long walk, overnight stay, or drop-in visit, I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. Happy to schedule a meet & greet to see if it’s a good fit! I currently work as a truck driver on weekdays returning by 4 pm at the latest . And availability is free all weekends. I make it a priority for the dogs to be fed, walked and well taken care of throughout the day I have a fenced in yard at the end of a dead end street in a quiet neighborhood, giving your dog the space and peace they need to have a great time

“Roxanne came and checked in on my cat everyday for 2 weeks. I got pictures and videos and felt so happy knowing my baby was being well taken care of. Usually my cat has separation anxiety but when I came back she seemed so happy and healthy!”

“Isobel did a great job with my kitties. There were no complicated needs for this visit. I got pictures and updates, and the cats sounded normal. I had made an error with the system, and I appreciate how she helped me make the modifications. Overall, I found her careful and responsible and would recommend her.”

About: I’ve been working for a company based out of Sudbury Ma for 5 years and I’m just looking for extra work :) I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages etc. I have worked with dogs of all temperaments as well. Would love to get to know your pet :) I work full time walking/ pet sitting for a company Monday - Friday and weekends for sitting. I’m looking to expand to some new clients! I could even bring your dog with me for the day on walks with other dogs if I’m sitting them and they would be up for it I can stay in someone’s home or have someone’s dog/ dogs stay in my home if they are friendly with other dogs as I do have my own dog
About: I am a trusted dog/cat sitter for a little over 8 years for friends and family. I also have my own pup named Bella who is 10 years old. I thrive to expand my knowledge, meet more furry friends and take on more responsibility as a dog/cat sitter. I work at a financial institution (9-5), which allow me to have mornings and afternoons free. I get up early, to get the day started, let animals out or go for walks, and fresh food or water. I don't have a lot of space in my own apartment to have many animals. I do frequent many trails that I take Bella to! I have large dog park and long walking trail not far from me. Totally up to preference, it is important for your animal to be as comfortable as possible.
About: Hi, I’m Jay! If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets as much as you do, you’ve come to the right place. Animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and everything in between, and I truly believe every pet deserves personalized care, lots of love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a cuddle buddy, playtime, meals, medication, a bath, or just someone patient and dependable while you’re away, I’m here to help! Long haired pups or kitties that hate being brushed? No problemo! I’m happy to tackle the fluff so you don’t have to. 😊 One thing that sets me apart is that I’m constantly learning. I love researching animal behavior, enrichment, nutrition, and the best ways to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours feel safe and comfortable. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your best friend with someone else, so I’ll care for your baby like they’re my own. You can expect plenty of updates, adorable photos, and the peace of mind that your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your bestie! 🤍 Caring for pets has always been part of my daily routine. I attend college so I’m able to give your babies attention, care, and playtime before class, in between, and during study time! I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with my own cats and making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and cared for. I only accept bookings that fit my schedule so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make the experience easy for both you and your pet. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll send lots of updates and pictures (because I know I’d want them too!) so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind. Whether your pet is super energetic, a little shy, or just wants someone to hang out with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very detail oriented and always pay attention to things like securely closing doors and gates, keeping dogs safely leashed on walks, and making sure your pet is happy and comfortable. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and feel confident that they were treated like family while you were away.
About: I’ve had furries since I was 4, dogs, cats, fishes! I believe all dogs and cats deserve to be treated with love compassion and attention no matter the size, breed, or species. I will love your pet like it’s mine and make them feel as comfortable as possible so you and your furry can have calm, fun and comfortable getaway! I work a part-time job so I’ll have plenty of time for the weekend all day long and doggy care/drop in visits/house sittings after 2pm I am available to take care of your furry at your home and provide them with the best care as well as attention and exercise!
About: I have been taking care of our bull dogs for seven years now. We adopt and had three before our oldest recently passed away. Bull dogs provide quite a bit of high maintenance care such as cleaning all folds multiple times a day, tail pockets, monitoring skin for yeast or allergies and of course… wiping butts after potty time. At least two walks or forms of exercise a day to keep them in shape for their health and breathing issues; if you see my babies photos, they are in super shape! So caring for three I feel shows my love, responsibility, managing skills and understanding of how to properly and lovingly care for pets. For many years now, I have also cared for a variety of my family members dogs and cats, whether that involves feeding, walking/ exercise, over nights, and loving attention. I am Corporate Life Coach & Counselor so I have a flexible schedule that I make myself, in a variety of towns in Massachusetts ( which is why my radius is so big) I also have a rental house in Dennisport MA, so providing pet care in the Cape is an option too! I love my fur-babies and providing love, exercise and quality time is what your pet deserves too! I will be providing services at your household, so any and all safety protocol will be provided that suits you and your pet to the fullest!

I have also worked at dog daycares and understand the fundamentals of dog behaviors.

About: I have lots of experiencing taking care of my little dog Roy, a Chihuahua and Boston terrier. I live together with my brother in a suburbia kind of neighborhood and work from home, we have a beautiful backyard and front yard space as well. We love hiking and usually go for a run no matter the weather. As I work primarily from home, I am mostly here to provide personalized care and tend to all their needs. I can be available at random times during emergencies or last minute planning. I live an active lifestyle and can run with the dog to ensure your pal is getting the exercise they need through out the day. I like a challenge and am willing to adhere to special circumstances with your pet.
“Erinn was amazing. She was always helpful as my cat was recovering from spinal surgery and required more than just feeding. Her experience as a vet tech was invaluable. She never missed a beat and my cats both love her. I cannot recommend her enough !!!”

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Brookline choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
