“A truly 5 star experience. Cameron was easy to communicate with and work with. Just off vibe alone I knew my dog was in good hands when he was picked up. Throughout the day I was consistently updated with photos and videos of my dog out and about. I highly highly recommend Cameron to anyone in need of a dog-sitter. Next time I’m in Boston I will 100% be reaching out to him first. Finn will miss Cameron and Rosie a ton!!! 5 stars!!”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo were great with Oscar. They were flexible when I needed to shift my drop-off and pickup times, which made my day so much easier. They sent a few photos throughout the day too, which I always love getting. Oscar came home tired and happy, so he clearly had a good time. Would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thanks you two!”
“Shuhua is kind and very professional. Hermes ( my little Yorkie) was very happy with her. She is trust worthy and is a great communicator. I am sure Hermes is missing her companion ship. I will recommend her without any hesitancy. Thank you Sue.”
“Nate is a wonder with my pups and super accommodating to me. This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! He sent pictures, and bonded with both of my dogs who are typically skeptical of new people. They felt right at home with Nate and I couldn’t appreciate it more.”
“Emma took such great care of Arya and she was so happy with her stay! Emma sent updates and pictures to me of my baby girl and kept me updated with any changes. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Laura is a wonderful dogsitter! She calmed down my anxious pup and sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. My pup came home happy and tired. I'll definitely book again!”
“Yunyao went above and beyond during the 4 days of daycare! She made sure the temperature was cool enough, she made Hazy little ice fruit treats, and she sent us multiple updates with photos throughout the day each day. Hazy was so spoiled and could not have been in better hands!”
“Roman had a wonderful time! I loved the updates and the pictures throughout his stay! It definitely makes my fur mom heart a little more settled knowing the great care he is in and updates on what he’s doing during his time! Definitely came home nice and sleepy!!”
“Michelle toot great care of my boy Roy. She kindly shared photos and frequent updates. Can’t believe how quickly Roy settled in and appeared to be at home! He will definitely be spending more time over at Michelle’s.”
About: ***NOTICE FOR NEW & REPEAT CLIENTS*** I will be abroad in Japan for research Sept 2026-August 2027, after which I’ll return to Boston and resume pet services. You’ll find these months blocked off on my calendar. Thank you for your support and patience. I look forward to coming back and seeing the fur babies!!! *** I’ve had dogs in the family since I was a child, and they’ve been all sizes, temperaments and with different needs. I’ve worked with multiple R+ and balanced trainers in the Boston area and actively use training techniques throughout the day to help dogs who are selective-reactive, fearful, shy and/or have separation anxiety. I’m happy to incorporate any trainings you’re working on with your pups while they’re in my care***I do not believe pet services should be financially inaccessible. If you are struggling financially and need assistance, please reach out. I am a graduate student, and spend no more than 3 hours teaching/working on campus, typically in the afternoon, but my office is only 10 minute walk away so I’m rarely gone for long. For pets who would do best with full time WFH, my schedule is flexible. The rest of the time I spend either at home or outdoors at parks or on hikes. My life truly revolves around dogs. Stay at home movie nights with lots of treats or hangouts at the dog parks—you name it! I now have a car, so my serviced area radius has increased for walking and checkin services! I do not offer boarding/stay services in the client’s home.
“Rebecca was very friendly and communicative. She scheduled a meet and greet to introduce our dog to her space and asked insightful questions. She has great experience caring for larger dogs, and our dog came home relaxed and happy.”
“Andrea has been lovely to work with, my dog Kiko has really enjoyed daycare with her and is always happy when I pick him up. She is very reliable and communicative and has made our first Rover experience a very good one. I will definitely continue to come to Andrea when Kiko needs a sitter!”
“Anna was so patient with our dog Bobby and took amazing care of him! When we picked him up he was calm and ready for a nap - perfect! We will definitely book with Anna again.”
About: I love using Rover to find care for my own doggos :) On my own, I have raised my two senior pitbulls, Brave and Skylar. I adopted them both as senior pitbull rescues and these dogs are my whole life. These days it’s just me and Skylar (11 years old little lovebug) as Brave passed a few years ago. Skylar is the sweetest big sister doggo :) my furry little sausage. I’m a working academic and artist so I’m very flexible since I mainly work from home. I would love to take care of your pet :) I studied at Columbia for undergrad then both Cambridge and Harvard for graduate school so I’ve been living in the Boston area for 4 years now :) My pets are my whole life, so I would care and treat yours as though my own :) Please let me know all the details of your pet.
“Banapsha is amazing! She made an immediate connection with Peanut who has some separation anxiety and has been through a lot of recent medical issues. She gave me frequent updates, pictures and asked questions when she was unsure what I would prefer in terms of her care. I hope to hire Banapsha again when she is available!”

Yunyao went above and beyond during the 4 days of daycare! She made sure the temperature was cool enough, she made Hazy little ice fruit treats, and she sent us multiple updates with photos throughout the day each day. Hazy was so spoiled and could not have been in better hands!
Anastasia is such an amazing pet sitter! She is so sweet and caring and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was happy during her time with her❤️🥰. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We reserved her to take care of our dog while on a trip to Boston and would hope to use her again when we return in the future. She is a lovely person.
I am very happy with Lynn's care of Fiona. Her attentiveness and care for our 9-month-old puppy was evident, and--even more important--Fiona seemed to thoroughly enjoy her day with Lynn (which was long: from 8am to 8pm). A few days before the 'big day' Lynn arranged a 'meet and greet' at a nearby park, and Fiona took to her immediately. So, when it came time for us to leave Fiona in Lynn's care, the transition was seamless, and Fiona went along happily. I will definitely ask Lynn to watch Fiona on my future trips to Cambridge/Somerville.
Veronica and her husband are fantastic! they’ve watched our senior dog Calamari a number of times and have been so goodie with her every time. Veronica sends plenty of updates & photos. She also has been able to administer daily meds for Calamari, which is a huge help. 10/10 recommend leaving your pup with Veronica!! thanks again both 🙏🏽
Wendy has been an amazing pet sitter for Bruno. She is very proactive in sharing regular pictures and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She is also very flexible and accommodating with pickup and drop-off schedules, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. What we truly appreciated was how engaged she kept Bruno—she spent time playing with him and ensured he felt comfortable and happy. It’s clear that she genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Teddy lover staying with Lauren for day care! I will definitely be using her again on a regular basis for my long shifts. She always responded so quickly and had pictures of Teddy just hanging out or on their walks. I love that she is close to a park so Teddy can walk around some green space and not always on the busy hot city sidewalks. Thanks Lauren!
