About: Pet sitting was my first job at 13 years old—and I’ve yet to find another job I’ve enjoyed quite as much! Over the years, I’ve cared for corgis, pit bulls, border collies, Rottweiler puppies, and plenty of other dogs, as well as cats. Most recently, I’ve walked my friend’s small pup, Hartsie, and provided overnight care for two cats. I’ve seen just about everything: dogs who decide to take an unexpected swim in the pool and dogs who absolutely refuse to cross the street unless you carry them. These experiences have taught me to stay calm, think on my feet, and adapt to each animal’s unique personality. I’m confident in my ability to roll with the punches, get to know your pet, and provide the kind of attentive, reliable care that gives owners peace of mind. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. If you want someone to come walk your dog in the mornings or afternoon, I'm your girl! I will make sure to leave your home as I found it and leave your pet happier too. While I'm in your home, I'm willing to adhere to your medication schedules or even sit with your dog for an hour or two for some pets. Let me know how I can benefit you and your pet and I will do my best do meet your needs.

“I can’t recommend Jessica enough! Jessica did a great job taking care of our asthmatic cat, Cash, who needs medication twice daily. She was communicative, reliable, and friendly. Cash was clearly well cared for and played with for the 8 days we were out. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

About: I've always had a dog growing up, lived with cats for many years, and have been house sitting for four years in many states across the US! I don't have any pets, children, plants, etc. to take care of that are my own - so very available for other peoples pets! Outside of pet sitting, I am a Clinical Psychology PhD Student at Suffolk University. I have class all day Monday, but am flexible Tuesday through Friday. *Disclaimer: I do not currently own a car! In the clients home, I always respect the space and am sure to leave the space cleaner than I found it, but open to client preferences with what to clean versus leave be 😊

About: Hi! My name is Celine and I’m new to Rover :) I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! Even though I didn’t grow up with one because of my dad’s allergies, I’ve always jumped at any chance to care for friends’ dogs. I’m very active, so I love going on walks, playing, and making sure pets get lots of attention and exercise. Ive also read a lot about how to take care of certain breeds of dogs (example: Dachsund) and what exercises and mental stimulation they will need. I’ve dog sat many times over the years and enjoy every minute of it. I’m thinking of getting a puppy next year so would love to use Rover as a start! Please be aware that I will be moving to CT/NYC November 21st! So I will be available in Boston until then :) I currently am working hybrid (Tuesday-Wednesday) in office, but my partner works fully remote Monday-Friday (He also loves animals and has a dog of his own at home, so he would be able to take care of any dog/cat while I’m at work for a couple hours)! On the days where I work from home, I have time throughout the day to go on a walk, make lunch, etc. I will have plenty of time to take care of pets throughout the week/weekends. I care for pets by making sure they always have fresh water available and that they feel comfortable, safe, and happy in my care. During walks, I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and energy levels, and I adjust accordingly if they seem uncomfortable or overwhelmed. I also love keeping pets entertained and engaged throughout the day with playtime, enrichment activities, and even a little training—whether it’s for learning or just for fun!

About: I grew up around dogs and nothing makes me happier than making pets feel loved and safe! I can't wait for the day I can adopt my own dog, but in the meantime, I have lots of free time to keep your pets company. I'm reliable and a quick communicator, and will do whatever you need to keep your pet in their routine, happy, and healthy. Currently in between roles, so I have lots of free time to take your dog on walks or stop by for a visit! Will always follow instructions to ensure healthy and happy pets. Safety and trust is my biggest priority, so I'll be sure to fully understand what your pets needs while you’re away. Love sending lots of pictures and updates!

About: Hi! I grew up with dogs & cats throughout my childhood and then got a dog of my own during COVID. Due to a breakup, I no longer have my dog & have been chasing to get puppy snuggles wherever possible. I have dog sat for friends and family countless time. I also volunteer occasionally at the Animal Rescue League of NH & also am looking forward to find a MA organization, now that I live down in MA! I work full time with 2 days in the office. The other 3 weekdays, I work fully remote & am flexible! If you live close by, I can stop by to let your dog out, take them for a walk or just give them some love for a bit. And of course, I’d love to stay at your home if needed (and could even work remotely from there if you’re okay with that!) I’m happy to accommodate to whatever you need in your own home! Since I don’t own my current place & have a dog living here currently, I am only offering services outside of my house. This will include- dog walking & in house visits/stays for cats & dogs. However, that means you get to tell me where everything is & we don’t need to take your perfect dog/cat out of their safe space. 🤍

Ashley was the absolute best. It was our first time leaving our cat alone and we were very nervous since our cat is very shy. To our very pleasant surprise, our cat came out and interacted with Ashley in every visit. Ashley was very patient and took very good care of our little ‘Tina. Ashley showed up promptly at every appointment and was very patient and attentive with Tina’s needs. Highly recommend.

Vee was lovely to work with from start to finish. She took wonderful care of Louis and was so sweet and attentive with him, spending time playing with him and giving him lots of cuddles. It was clear he was comfortable and happy with her, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily have Vee care for him again and would definitely recommend her!
