“Shiroq took great care of my cat while I was traveling! She had no trouble giving my cat medication and was very thorough in getting all the details she needed before I left. Would feel confident booking with her again :)”

“After having the same sitter for several years, finding someone new is always a daunting task—especially for cat care, which can be surprisingly rare on Rover. This was our first time having Leilani look after our cats while we were away, and all I can say is how incredibly fortunate we feel to have crossed paths with her. We feel so lucky to have found someone who is not only reliable, but also genuinely caring and attentive with animals. Her communication was warm and natural, and she sent us plenty of adorable photos that showed just how well she connected with our cats. It was clear she sincerely bonded with them. We’re truly grateful to have met Leilani and will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”

“Annie is excellent! Our dog can be a little skittish, so we scheduled a meet and greet for them to get to know each other. Annie asked great clarifying questions and got along great with Clemens. Annie’s been very communicative and sweet to our dog since!”

About: Hi, I'm Florence! I'm a licensed real estate agent, so I'm used to being trusted with other people's homes. Dogs have been part of my life since I was seven. I fostered many dogs in NYC (and adopted one), fostered in Boston too, and adopted a rescue five years ago. I also regularly look after friends' dogs and cats when they travel. I love house sitting because pets are happiest in their own space with their usual routine. I'll stick to their schedule and send plenty of photo updates. When I house sit, I'll bring in your mail and packages, water your plants, keep things tidy, and watch for anything that needs attention. I have a very flexible schedule both weekly and weekends. I can definitely stay overnight - I understand pets need and like to be home as much as possible. I will keep to your pets’ routine as much as possible. I know that all pets hate their routine to be broken. Each pet is different so I will cater to each pets needs.

“Kathryn brought so much peace of mind during my vacation. My cat is very shy but Kathryn was able to coax her to come out and relax. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, and there’s nothing better than earning the trust of a furry new friend! Over the past ten years, I’ve gained a wealth of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, and I treat every single dog as if they were my very own. What sets me apart is my fully flexible remote schedule, so neighborhood walks and mid-day check-ins are never rushed, always filled with fresh air, belly rubs, and undivided attention. Whether your pup is a high-energy explorer who loves sniffing every single leaf or a quiet soul who prefers a gentle stroll, I am incredibly detail-oriented about following your exact routine. Plus, I absolutely love taking photos, so you can always count on receiving cute daily updates and report cards showing exactly how much fun we had on our break! Because I work entirely from home with a fully flexible remote schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine! My online work allows me to easily step away throughout the day, making me completely available for mid-day neighborhood walks and check-ins right when your pet needs them most. Your furry friend will never be a rushed afterthought. Instead, taking a break to give them fresh air, exercise, and plenty of love is a natural, joyful highlight of my day. When checking in on your furry family members, their safety, comfort, and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect, always making sure doors and gates are securely locked and keys are safely stored. During our visits or neighborhood walks, I keep a watchful eye out for any hazards, maintain a secure grip on the leash, and closely follow your exact instructions for feeding, routines, or specific house rules. I promise to keep your home exactly how you left it, while giving your pet a fun, secure, and loving break that will be the highlight of their day!

About: I have lived with dogs practically my whole life and have experience owning many breeds from chihuahua to greyhound. I usually have an instant connection with new dogs, and am really good at cuddling. I am skilled in caring for dogs who may need extra attention or medications (including pills or injections). I've cared for many types of animals (including cats, rabbits, and birds), if you have a mixed-pet household and would prefer one caretaker for all your pets. I have some experience with more difficult dog personalities, and know how to prevent destructive behavior. I also know how to make sure that your pet does not escape while you are away! I am loving, nurturing, and trustworthy, and you can rely on me to give your furbabies truly excellent care and attention.

“Georgia was responsive and easy to schedule with! Had no issues with her checking in on my cat Toby - she shared pictures and kept his litter box clean and water full, and I returned to a happy and healthy cat. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

About: I've always loved dogs! When I left home for college, I adopted my first one and by the time i graduated I ended up with 3! All of them are mutts and range from 75lbs to 35lbs. My oldest one is about 4 and weighs 75lbs and is a pit lab mix, I'm use to the high energy and burst of energy and also just laying around being a couch potato. My other two are also very much bursts of energy and then couch potatoes who love cuddles and naps! I moved to the Cambridge area recently and my apartment doesn't allow pets at the moment and therefore, my pups are at home and I am missing the wagging tails and walks! I am very experienced with high energy dogs and just being there with them, allowing them to play! I have experience with puppies (since I recently adopted one a year ago and trained her) and have the patience to care for them as well! For the past 4 years I've gained a lot of experience with having my own, and now not having them around me is making me sad and I think being able to share my love with another dog in the area would make my day and a dog waggy :) I work full time from 9-5 however I have time in the morning prior to work and after to do pet care. As well as on the weekends when needed :) I have crates for my dogs, because it provides a space for them but also a piece of mind for me when I am not around! I am comfortable with crating a dog and walking them on leash due to the safety of the animal.

“Kate is Top Five. No, top two and NOT two. I know when our cat is with Kate he is cared for and having a great time. What else could a cat mom ask for?”

About: I’m a former dog mom who recently lost her senior toy poodle mix and I’m looking to fill my heart with love from other pups. Aside from being a dog mom myself, I have extensive experience fostering dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including reactive and anxious dogs. I also have experience with senior dogs and a range of issues including dementia and mobility issues. I can accommodate special needs dogs and medication administration. I’d love to get to know your dog! I’m currently working full time but would love to fill my weekends and holidays with love from dogs. I also am available mornings and evenings for drop ins and could accommodate sitting in locations close to home during the week. I do not have a yard but I live on a quiet tree lined street with access to multiple parks. I’d love to take your dog on a stroll!

“Nico went above and beyond my expectations for taking care of my cat Leia. Excellent communication and worked with my needs, would 100% book again!”

“Emily is a great sitter! Very communicative and took amazing pictures while she was looking in on my cat. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have taken care of all types for friends and family! I'd honestly do it for free (if the Boston rents weren't so high). I don't currently have a dog in the city, but I'm a student and would love to hang out with a furry friend during the gaps in my day. I follow the owner's lead on how to care for their pet, and make sure they have everything they need to feel most comfortable in their/my home.

“Ariel is a wonderful cat sitter! My two cats tend to be shy and fearful around strangers, but Ariel had the patience to coax them out of their hiding places, until they were thrilled to see her when she showed up each day. She was punctual, easy to get in touch with, and provided TONS of adorable photos of my kitties playing with their favorite toys.”

“Melodi was a great sitter who took care of our cat very well! She was very flexible and considerate based on our needs. She also sent us multiple pictures during her visits.”

Xihao L.

“Very easy to work with and super helpful!”

About: Hi! I’m Ilsa! I have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal and what helps them feel comfortable and happy. I work from home full-time, so pets staying with me get lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My partner, also helps share responsibilities during stays, so your pet will have plenty of care and attention while they’re here. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, administering medications, following specific routines, and helping reinforce training and good habits. I especially enjoy working with dogs on consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement in a calm and patient way. We have a very friendly dog and two cats in our home. Our dog is extremely gentle, submissive, and gets along well with every dog she’s met. Our cats are very dog-savvy and used to being around visiting dogs, which helps create a calm and comfortable environment for everyone. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel stressful, so I do my best to make the experience easy, comfortable, and fun for both you and your pet. My goal is to provide a safe, relaxed environment where your pet feels cared for, loved, and right at home. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Between myself and my partner, Brooke, someone is almost always home, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and time to relax in a calm environment while you’re away. I have access to a fenced backyard as well as several wonderful parks and walking areas nearby, so there are plenty of safe and fun places for your pup to explore, exercise, and relax. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, including feeding schedules, walks, crating, medications, training routines, and bedtime habits. I know every pet is different, and I do my best to help them feel comfortable and at home while maintaining consistency with their normal care. Our home is calm, pet-friendly, and well suited for social dogs. We also have a very friendly dog and two dog-savvy cats who are used to being around visiting pets. Safety, supervision, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for are always my top priorities.
