“Charlotte was great! This was our first time using Rover and we could not have asked for a better first experience. Our kitty absolutely loved her when she came for the meet and greet and she took such good care of him while we were away. She really went above and beyond and helped out with some other little things too when she stopped by which was so nice of her. She kept us updated with the report and adorable pics. I definitely recommend her!”

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. 🤍

“We absolutely cannot say enough wonderful things about Mina! She consistently goes above and beyond when caring for our cat, and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving, attentive hands. She makes sure he gets plenty of playtime, affection, and personalized care, and she somehow manages to capture and send the most amazing photos and updates that truly brighten our day while we’re away. Her communication is outstanding, always keeping us informed and reassured. Mina is incredibly trustworthy and dependable, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We would trust her to care for our cat anytime without hesitation and highly, highly recommend her!”

“I cannot recommend Chad highly enough. He has done drop in visits for my corgi Linus on two separate occasions recently and been extremely responsible, communicative and a pleasure to work with. He always sends me great pictures of him and Linus out on walks, or getting in good exercise and play time together. If you need someone to drop in for your pup, Chad will do an exceptional job!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through both my family and my workplace. My parents have a Maltese, and I regularly enjoy taking him on walks, playing with him, and giving him treats. At my workplace, we have a Teddy Bear dog named Lola. I sometimes take her outside for potty breaks and walks, give her lots of pets and attention, and reward her with a dental chew after our walks. I also enjoy teaching simple commands such as “sit” and “shake,” and I’m attentive to dogs’ body language and cues so I can better understand when they want to play, need some space, or simply want some affection. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and would be happy to give your pet the same patience, care, and attention I give to the dogs in my life. I work a full-time 9–5 job with a consistent schedule, so I’m available for home visits in the mornings and evenings. On weekends, I can make multiple visits throughout the day. For the right pet, I’m also open to long-term boarding arrangements. I’m happy to help with scheduled meals, fresh water, dog walks, brushing, playtime, and plenty of company. If your pet needs extra care, I can also help with medication and, when needed, take them to the vet. My husband and I live in a clean and cozy 1-bedroom apartment. I like to make the apartment clean, so the space is always tidy and well maintained, making it a comfortable environment for pets to stay. There’s also a dog park right downstairs, so your pup can easily get some outdoor time and play. I’m also happy to do drop-in visits for cats and keep them company in the comfort of their own home.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover who has grown up around both cats and dogs. I promise to care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is wide open. As I pick up other part time work my schedule should maintain a lot of flexibility. Whenever I check in on a pet in their home I always take care to follow client’s directions and respect their space. I try to always leave things as I found them (or better in case I find a mess).

About: I’ve been caring for my family’s dog since I was 16, and taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life! I also adopted my cat, Fígaro, while I was in college, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, attentive, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, meds, and keeping your pet company while you’re away! I currently work full time but my schedule is very flexible so I have plenty of availability in the early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and on weekends! I’m organized and intentional about my time, and I love having pet care as a fun and rewarding part of my routine. I’m happy to plan visits around your pet’s normal schedule and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need! I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and potty breaks, while also giving them plenty of attention and companionship! I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: My fiancée and I want to love your pet while saving for our wedding! Please read the bio below and feel free to reach out with any questions! We look forward to connecting with you! I've been a dog lover from the day I was born. Dolly and Rocket (Dalmatian and Golden Retriever) were my two childhood dogs that made me fall in love with man's best friend. When I lost Dolly and Rocket to old age, I began working at a local pet sitting service. It was the best decision I ever made. The 2 years of working as a professional pet sitter allowed me to experience a wide range of dog breeds, personalities, and ages and also exposed me to caring for cats. The demands of college required that I stop my pet-sitting but now that I have graduated , I am excited to return to pet sitting and get back to providing love and care to four-legged companions! I do pet-sit with my fiancée, Ameer (check him out in the photos). He has joined me for many pet sits over the years and is another devoted animal lover! Please let me know if there are any hesitations or questions about the both of us caring for your fur baby, especially if your little one is hesitant around men. Caring for your little one is a two-person job: I take the morning and evening shifts while Ameer handles the midday times. When I’m working in office during the day, Ameer stays with your little one to keep them company and handle any needs during the day. Then, I am there for long walks in the afternoon/evening and early morning walks to start your little one’s day off right! We treat your pets and home as if they were our own. This means above and beyond care to make sure your pets needs are met and your home is respected and kept clean. We are home bodies and love to curl up on the couch with a book/movie and a furry cuddle buddy next to us!

About: I have had one dog in the past. Her name is Gigi and she is a golden doodle. She is an extremely active dog who keeps me active 24/7. She loves to cuddle and play and is so caring with people and other animals. The most unique characteristic about Gigi is that she has been obedient since the day we got her. Her training was so simple and easy to do. Training her was so easygoing that I learned enough to train my best friends dog Mia. I think having such a sweet puppy like Gigi made it even more fun to care and train for dogs. I trained Gigi and Mia to be able to remain calm in stressful/overstimulating moments, they are both well skilled in recognizing hand and verbal signals. Both are well behaved when hey are not wearing a leash and also very well in controlling impulsive behavior. I currently work full time so I am available in the afternoons. I am off by 5pm. I am available every weekend, all day. I do plan on having a more flexible schedule in the next 2 months. I personally do not have any pets at the moment. I have had 1 pet in the past and have been trusted by a few friends to care after their pets. I always ask the owner the basic information I need regarding their pets and do my best to ensure a fun and safe environment for all animals!

About: I have been around all sizes of animals, and have had animals around since I was a baby. All animals are welcome ! ! ! I just moved to Boston and what better way to stay busy and see the city than being around animals!! I also just enjoy being around them I currently have a guniea pig who gets to roam around whenever I’m upstairs for a long period of time so I wouldn’t be comfortable bringing animals into my house and I also have an apartment so not a lot of space for bigger animals to be comfortable and fun around. Will gladly take them on long walks, dog parks, or just play in the yard. Am comfortable cleaning up after them, administering medicine, and lots of love and attention

Isabel does a phenomenal job. My 2 cats just love her, I can tell. She plays with them and is a hard act to follow because even I don't play with them as much as she does. Isabel sends great photos and thorough reports on her visits. I have hired her in the past and will do so in the future. Thank you Isabel!

When I first booked Katie it was for a much longer trip (over two weeks) and I was wracked with anxiety leaving my bunnies for so long. Katie made me feel better, she was so attentive and commutative about everything! She even cared for one of my rabbits sore hocks daily. It’s obvious she loves your pets and the feeling is mutual. I look forward to working with Katie again in the future!

Lily did a great job watching my cat, Bogey! She writes very detailed notes, sends lots of pictures and follows instructions to a T! She even went the extra mile watering my plant that she saw looked wilted and took out the trash. I can rest easy on vacation when I know Bogey is in Lily’s care! Thank you so much!

This was my second time working with Dennis and he once again went above and beyond to make sure my senior kitty Sasha is taken care of. He is great with Sasha and put a lot of care into both ensuring that she was fed and received her medications, as well as made sure she received lots of pets and attention. Would definitely recommend!
