“Stephanie was amazing with Lulu and our house. She was on time and always provided periodic updates and plenty of pictures. She handled some minor hiccups (power outages) like a pro. Lulu loved her and we felt that she was in good hands with Stephanie. I won’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her.”

“sara was absolutely fantastic. rye can be super slow to warm up to new people, but she was drawn to sara right away at our meet & greet — it was amazing. she was calm, gentle, and patient w rye, and communicative, thorough, and thoughtful with me. i was extra nervous because my last sitter was one of those Rover nightmares you read about, but sara restored my faith, and i’d hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“Marcus was wonderful with my GSD Izzy! She took to him immediately and he showered her with attention to her unabashed delight. He was prompt, reliable and responsive.”

About: Hello! My name is Kayala, and I am a college student from Somerville, Massachusetts. I have been cat sitting for the past seven years and have had cats and bunnies my entire life. I have multiple regular cat sitting clients in the Somerville, Cambridge, Boston area that I have maintained through the years. I am a friendly and trustworthy person, and I make sure to treat pets with respect and love while also taking care of all of their needs. I have a cat in Somerville named Violet, and a bunny named Loretta who stays with me in my dorm during the school year. I'm known for loving my pets more than anything, and have tattoos for both of them! They are my girls, and my most divine companions. I deeply understand the strength of the bond between you and your kitties <3. I know it can be stressful to leave your kitties in the care of a stranger, but I make sure to send photos and updates! I am also happy to meet with you in person, learn about any special care instructions and preferences, and make sure you and your kitties are comfortable. I am an excellent pet snuggler (known for making cats, dogs, goats, and pigs fall asleep in my arms!), but am also always very aware of an animal's body language. It is so important to respect their boundaries! I have experience giving oral medication, inhalers, critical care (liquid food for rabbits), and subcutaneous injections. I am in Somerville for holidays and school breaks (summer and winter), where pet care is a prioritized commitment for me. I take same day bookings, as long as I am in town! I have extensive experience with cat sitting and have been running my "business" independently for the past seven years in the Boston area. I am the sole caregiver for my bunny, Loretta, and have had bunnies and cats my entire life. When I stop by for my visits, I give attention for a minimum of 25 minutes and meet them where they are. If they want to cuddle, I am open arms! If they want to play, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. If they are scared of my new presence, I will sit thoughtfully and move at their pace to make them as comfortable as possible. I always send photos and updates to pet parents when I see their babies!
“Alyssa watched our young husky for the day while we were at work and did a great job! She kept us updated, kept him occupied, took him out often since he’s still potty training, and gave him a nice long walk. It was incredibly reassuring knowing he was being well cared for”

“Natalia did an amazing job house sitting with our dog!! She communicated with us the whole time while sending plenty of pictures and videos! Our dog was anxious when we first left and she calmed her down and they became best friends quickly. I already booked her again for our next trip!”
“Heaven took such great care of our elderly dog and of our home. Many updates, she played games with our dog, and left our house in pristine condition. Highly recommend.”

About: I have experience sitting for a variety of dogs and cats, and have developed a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and attentiveness when it comes to pet care. I’m comfortable following specific routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering basic care, and I always make sure pets are safe and comfortable in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, so I can adjust to their energy level whether they love long walks and playtime or prefer a calmer, more relaxed environment. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands! I look forward to creating a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners! I recently graduated from Northeastern University, and now I am working part time at a physical therapy clinic. From May through the end of July, I am fully available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I work part-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; however, I am available for walks after 3:30 PM on Fridays! Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I am committed to providing consistent attention, exercise, and reliable care for your pets! I will also be attending physical therapy school in the fall, and I am using Rover as a way to help support my graduate education while continuing to do something I love: Caring for animals! I always prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in any environment. I carefully follow all instructions you provide, such as feeding routines, walk routes, medication (if needed), or any other specific preferences your pet has. For walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times and stay aware of our surroundings to keep them safe. I adjust the pace and length of walks based on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs to ensure they stay comfortable. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets get not only the essentials like food, water, and bathroom breaks, but also attention, playtime, and companionship. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can create a calm, positive experience. I’m also very respectful of your home and will keep everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Anastasia is great! She is communicative, trustworthy, and even brought in a package for me. We could see through photos that Mocha loved Anastasia’s company and we knew she was being really well taken care of while we were away.”

“Aubrey was amazing. She take such amazing care of my girl while dog sitting. She was prompt in her communications and shared daily updates with me. I would recommend Aubrey to anyone looking to take care of their dogs”

“Phia really came to our rescue and took amazing care of our 9-month old puppy! Barley looked so, so happy in all of the pictures Phia shared with us and he’s had a blast on walks and training with Phia! Best of all, Phia left a special memorabilia to welcome us back home (a hand drawing of our puppy)! Thank you so, so much for taking such thorough care for our puppy, Barley!”

“Kelly is so enthusiastic and a wonderful caretaker of our pups! She kept us well informed throughout the duration of her stay and the dogs were so happy with her. We have a 4 month old and a 7 year old. She balanced the energy of the baby so well while also making sure our “elder” got love and attention. Will absolutely be using Kelly in the future and highly recommend her!”

“Amy is just a wonderful dog sitter, she was taking care of our dog, who can be quite demanding emotionally, for almost one week. When Amy came to meet us, our dog was staying next to her the whole time, very comfortable and happy to be petted by her. Amy was sending regular videos showing our dog obviously feeling relaxed and cheerful with her. She is very responsive, communication is very easy. I really cannot imagine a better person to take care of our dog. Thank you so much!”

“Tony was fantastic! He took great care of our kiddos, even with bad weather and one dog on some movement restrictions. He asked lots of questions to make sure he knew just how to make them both happy. He was also very respectful of our home and left it just as he found it. We will definitely be using Tony again.”

“We were so reassured having Emily stay in our house with Lola while we were away overnight. She took great care of Lola and we won’t hesitate to call on her again in the future!”

“Jamie is an absolute lifesaver. She watches Maui most days while I’m at work, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my dog. She’s attentive, patient, and genuinely loves her, which shows in how happy and relaxed Maui is around her. She was even able to cut Mauis nails and brush her teeth which is literally a miracle considering Maui doesn’t allow anyone to do it (including me). Knowing Maui is cared for by someone so responsible and kind gives me total peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful to have her as both a roommate and someone Maui adores.”

“Ilse was wonderful watching our pets - particularly our anxious dog - over Fourth of July weekend. Super communicative and comfortable giving our pup meds. Even noticed our plants were getting scorched in the heat and needed some refreshment! Will definitely inept be calling her in the future.”


“Alinés was an excellent sitter for my eldery babygirl. Her communication was perfectly tailored to our preferences with lots if pictures and updates. She also followed all care and home instructions expertly, including multiple medications. When I got home I could tell my dog was so well cared for and loved, would book again in a heartbeat.”

Cambridgeport pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kelly was fantastic! Our pup had the best time with her. She was very communicative and accommodating, keeping us posted on their day and how Boomer was doing. She was professional and punctual and checked in with us when she had questions. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Kimberly took phenomenal care of Kyrie once again. She was super punctual and detailed with daily updates and photos, worked some absolute wizardry on deshedding Kyr's undercoat, and truly left the house in better shape than it's ever been with me. Both Kyrie and I look forward to having her back again!

I needed a last-minute sitter and Olivia did great with my pup Summer! Olivia was thorough, asked all the right questions, and communicated clearly about when she'd be at the house and when she'd need to be at work. She arrived on time and was responsive throughout the week, and I returned home to a safe pup and a clean home. I feel lucky that I was able to book Olivia last minute and will definitely book again in the future.

Katie was wonderful with Topanga! Even though our schedule changed and she didn’t get to spend as much time with her as originally planned, she was incredibly flexible, kind, and understanding. During the time they were together, Katie was genuinely caring and attentive. She was polite and professional with us, and most importantly, loving with Topanga. Our girl instantly gravitated toward her, which says a lot! We would absolutely recommend Katie and would be happy to have her care for Topanga again.

So grateful Leah was able to make a last-minute booking request work. Leah was on time, organized, and great with my cat Louie, who can be a little ball of stress if I'm not home during his evening routine. Louie did so well while I was gone, since he had Leah around to keep him company. Thank you, Leah!

Kate was a great sitter who took care of my senior (19) kitty with special needs requiring daily medication and lots of attention, as well as my four backyard chickens! She left the house clean and even washed the sheets she slept on. She was very responsive and communicative with me throughout the whole four day house sitting visit. I would recommend her as your next sitter.

Priya was absolutely amazing. Great communicator, caretaker, and just thoughtful all around. She took such great care of our cat Kilo and sent us daily updates with photos for the week we were out. Kilo took to her the second she walked through the door. Not only did she take such great care of Kilo, she was also so thoughtful while house sitting. We were so lucky to find Priya on rover. I highly recommend her!! 💕 She’s a cat whisperer.
