“Thomas is such a gem!!! Book him! He’s punctual, communicates well, and is patient. My dog Cairo is not everyone’s ’cup of tea’ (not that I care, since I love him) but he’s vocal at times from excitement and has high energy as a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. Thomas arrived on time, and took Cairo on an hour long dog walk. Although it was 80+ degree humid weather with no breeze, he did it with a smile on his face. Moving forward, whenever I need a walker for Cairo (most likely 1x weekly), I will contact Thomas to check his availability. And next time Thomas, I’ll have a nice cold unopened bottled water for you. Thomas, thank you for bonding with Cairo and accepting his high energy level. Not sure if you’re told this enough, but you are absolutely amazing!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud former fur mom to two amazing cats and a wonderful dog. They brought immeasurable love, laughter, and lessons into my life. Though I’m not currently able to commit to having pets of my own, I deeply miss the companionship and joy animals bring. That’s why I’ve joined Rover - to stay connected to the world of wagging tails, soft purrs, and loving snuggles. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or just curling up with your pet, I treat every furry friend like family. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through all stages of life. I raised my dog, Scrappy, a Jack-a-poo, from a young age through his senior years. He was very intelligent, stubborn, and needed space from other dogs and people, so I managed his walks with care - always making sure he was comfortable and had a safe space. As he aged, I adapted his routine, including stroller walks when needed. I handled everything from grooming and feeding a picky eater to administering medications and wiping paws (yes, even butts when needed). I also raised two cats, Fufinho and Chase, from kittenhood. Fufinho developed diabetes and pancreatitis in his senior years, which required a strict medication schedule, including insulin shots and IV fluids. Chase, who had kidney failure, also required close monitoring and advanced care. In addition, I cat-sit and dog-sit for my furry nieces - helping with walks, feeding, litter scooping, and giving them love, comfort, and attention while their owners are away. I’m confident and compassionate when it comes to furry babies, and I respect their space, allowing them to take the lead in the relationship. I understand it can be overwhelming or stressful for some pets, and I always approach them with patience, kindness, and care. I believe that animals have a way of grounding us, awakening parts of our soul we didn’t even know were sleeping. Their love is pure, their presence is healing, and every moment with them is a gift... I currently work full-time during the week, so I’m starting slow and offering weekend availability for now. I’m happy to help with cat visits, dog walks, or drop-ins on Saturdays and Sundays and possibly some weekday evenings with notice. As I ease into a schedule, I’ll open up more availability, but I’m committed to giving each baby the attention and care they deserve. At this time, I’m not offering pet boarding in my home — but it’s something I may consider in the future after getting to know your furry baby and building mutual trust. Their comfort and well-being come first, and I want to make sure any environment feels like home for them. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have cozy pet beds, bowls, toys, and access to lovely parks in the surrounding area for safe, leashed walks. If and when I begin offering boarding, it will be thoughtfully planned with your pet’s personality and needs in mind.
About: I owned my own dog for 6 years and trained her as a puppy. I have years of experience and a passion for animals! Your animal will be in loving hands. I have a busy schedule but am going to work time into my schedule. I recently lost my dog and feel the need to fill the void. I miss having her each day so I want to be able to help others walk and care for their animals :) I always prioritize safety precautions when in the care of animals, I treat every animal the same if it’s my own or someone else’s. I believe I am very suited to be in the care of any animal as I have had dogs my whole life and had a dog of my own for the last 6 years.
“Stephanie walked my dog once a day for 5 days while I was traveling. She was punctual, easy to communicate with and great with our dog. I look forward to working with her again! Thank you Stephanie”
“Katherine was a wonderful dog walker, she took so many great photos of Ricki and had a lot of great notes for each walk! I would definitely book her again for Ricki!”
“Meredith was incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and loving with my dog! I had issues with my previous walker with being flaky, but Meredith was proactive in confirming our upcoming walks for the month and took the initiative to make sure Rover reflected our scheduled walks. She was flexible with me when I needed time changes, and Coco absolutely adores her. Could not recommend more!”
“We high recommend Kaitlyn! She is communicative, reliable, and great with our dog! She was very patient with our newly-adopted pup. We’ll definitely be using her services again!”
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for animals—including multiple cats and a beloved dog growing up—I understand the unique personalities and needs of both feline and canine companions. I currently share my home with a sweet cat, and I treat every pet I care for like family. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some comforting company, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care. I currently work full time (hybrid) as an accountant and am open to discussing a schedule that works best for you and your pet! On typical work from home days and weekends I am flexible with pet care throughout the day, and office days I am available before 7:30 am and after 5:30 pm. I value pets safety and would carefully follow instructions and limitations/resources for each pet within their home. We have an indoor cat and I understand the importance of keeping them safe!
“Samantha accommodated a last minute request to walk my dog a few days in a row. She showed up on time and sent photos. I love her post walk updates! Would recommend. Thanks, Samantha =)”
“I can’t recommend Lynne highly enough! She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and needs, and she has been extremely professional and proactive with communication. My dog Ladybug is always thrilled to see her and is a happy, tired dog when they return from the walk.”
“Ana Christina is fantastic. She clearly loves dogs and is knowledgeable and experienced, and my dog adores her. Ana Chis is also professional, timely, and always responsive. I'd hire her to watch my puppy again in a heartbeat.”
About: Hi, I’m Emmy! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs and have been caring for animals my whole life. I currently have two cats of my own and have experience with dogs of all sizes — from tiny Yorkies to giant Malamute Huskies. I also worked at a veterinary hospital for 1.5 years as an assistant and receptionist, giving me hands-on experience with vet care, administering medications, and responding to emergencies. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, tiny, or large, I’m comfortable providing loving, attentive care tailored to their unique needs! I’m a grad student about to enter summer break so I have all of the free time in the world to tailor to your pets needs. I would love nothing more than to make a new furry friend this summer. I have a decently sized two bedroom apartment—and as a pet parent myself—no room or furniture is off limits to your fur baby unless requested by you. I have several grassy parks in the area ideal for walking.

ELIZABETH H.
“My family has a small Chihuahua named Stella who is about 14 years old, she is a member of our family and can be skittish to strangers. We hired Elizabeth to watch her for a week while we were away and she treated Stella with the outmost love and care. Stella was quick to trust Elizabeth, sitting in her lap almost immediately. We got daily updates as to how she was doing and even a video of her having fun at the dog park. Elizabeth made us feel comfortable and at ease while being away as we knew Stella was in great hands. Elizabeth has a wonderful caring heart and we look forward to using her in the future for all doggie needs. You can count on her to take great care of any furry friend you have.”

Mid-Cambridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
To say that amanda is the best is an understatement. She has taken the best care of our girl over the last 7 months while we’ve lived in Boston. She is very communicative and caring. You can tell she truly loves and cares for your pet. We know our Riley girl is going to miss her, and so are we.
I absolutely love Jordan! She’s been walking Maple for a few months now, and I couldn’t be happier. She truly goes above and beyond. Maple adores her and even pulls her toward the dog park, which Jordan happily accommodates multiple times. Her care and dedication mean the world to us.
Absolutely loved having Lynne as our dog walker! She was awesome - super friendly and had great communication throughout. She walked our dog, Liliboo, for 3 days and instantly became his new best friend. Lynne kept me updated every day with messages, notes, and adorable pics that made me smile. I could tell Liliboo absolutely adored her - he was so happy and comfortable. Can’t wait to book her again! Highly recommend!
Lovely person! Leigh is great with our reactive German Shepard. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness are exceptional - she was able to discern specific needs that may help him regulate on walks during our first meeting with her. Highly recommend her for all your dog care needs.
