“I'm happy to share my experience with Bennie and Jennie who took care of my baby Nori while I was away. Right from the start, their professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals shone through. They took note of her routines, preferences, and her diet which showed me that they provided care that felt personalized and attentive. They also kept me updated daily with pictures/videos of Nori's activities. Each update was sent with a short note, highlighting her mood, changes in appetite, and the ways she was interacting. Moreover, they won over her trust and it was clear that Nori formed a bond with them and their adorable kitten, Kevin! For any cat owner looking for peace of mind, I can't recommend Bennie and Jennie enough!”


“Roman did an excellent job with my German Shepherd dog Bitsey. He cared for her, walked her made sure she was very well taken care of. He made sure she was well fed and happy and I was extremely pleased with the level of service and care given by Roman.”


“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”


“I can’t say enough about our dog Carter’s stay with Tina. She took excellent care of our dog who can be very anxious around different environments. At board and cares in the past he has refused to eat and obviously uncomfortable. With Tina he ate well, went on lots of walks and played with the small group of dogs she had. She sent me lots of updates so I always knew how he was doing. We will 100% be asking for Carter to stay again and highly recommend.”


“Hazel was well taken care of by Doug! He was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. She went on plenty of walks and slept well when she got back home. I will be using Doug in the future!”


“Vi was amazing! She took great care of our pup (including bringing our pup to family/social events!) and kept us updated with super cute photos daily. Would 100% book again.”


“Patricia is awesome! We are very grateful we have someone trustworthy and reliable to leave our pup with! Would definitely recommend!! Thank you again Patricia, Jax can’t wait to see you again!”


About: Hi, I’m Thomas! From playful pups to wise old seniors, I’ve had the joy of working with them all-and I treat each one like they’re part of my family. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle care, or time on the couch watching TV, I’m here to help. I understand that every pet has their own quirks, routines, and needs and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each one special. I currently work from home (aside from the occasional sales call or business trip) so I have plenty of time for walks on the Back Bay, bathroom breaks, and pets on the couch! I love having dogs around, and routinely watch my brother and sister-in-law’s Bernedoodle, Olive. I have no problem having your pup on my couch, and I’m also happy to hang at your home too!

“Monica gave us truly the best Rocer experience ever. She is so kind and sweet! I could tell how well loved our pups were while we were gone.

“Igor looked after my dog during the holidays and he provided the best care! He walked my dog 5 times a day including two long walks and 3 potty breaks. He sends pictures and videos after two big walks and also sends daily updates. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for someone reliable to watch your dog .”
