About: Growing up I have always had dogs and cats needing plenty of love and physical/mental stimulation. I understand the big responsibility that comes with caring for animals and find so much joy out of doing so! I have experience caring for senior cats, dogs, and high-energy animals. I hope you consider me for your pet sitting needs! I am currently in between jobs and have plenty of availability to care for your animals any time during the day, including on the weekends. Unfortunately I am not able to board pets in my home due to restrictions in my lease. I am available for multiple drop in visits throughout the day. Safety is the most important aspect of care in my eyes when caring for pets in their homes.
“Would have loved photos, but otherwise super thankful for Rachel’s help. She saved our Thanksgiving! Easy to communicate with, responsive, and showed up right on time/early.”
About: I love dogs and I can't wait to meet yours soon! I have been walking dogs on platforms such as a Wag for over 5 years. I am excited to dog sit now as well. I am currently working on a hybrid schedule and WFH on Mondays and Fridays. I am happy to accommodate for any schedule during those days and weekends and can support your dogs around 9-5 pm working hours on Tuesday to Thursdays! My apartment is a safe and clean environment. It is spacious and in a walkable area with green spaces that your dog can enjoy. I will provide your dog with the appropriate amount and type of food and fresh water. Furthermore, I will be so happy to provide exercise and playtime. I currently live with a roommate who has a small, calm beagle who gets along with other dogs. It would be great to do a pup meet and great in advance to ensure our dogs will get along :)
“FANTASTIC! Our dog, Guinness can be a lot to handle on a walk/ run. He took to Amy immediately & she knew just how to guide him throughout his walk. He is so excited the minute she arrives that he jumps around with joy. I can’t recommend Amy enough!”
About: Hello! My name is Karina, and I have a deep passion for taking care of pets. Over the past 15 years, I've had the pleasure of looking after a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. My experience ranges from daily walks and feedings to administering medication and providing special care for pets with unique needs. I have been a pet owner myself for 15 years, during which I've developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and health. I am well-versed in recognizing signs of distress or illness and know how to respond promptly and effectively. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, empathy, and love. I believe every pet deserves individualized attention and care, tailored to their personality and preferences. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or just being a calm presence, I strive to ensure that every pet feels safe and happy while under my care. I am also experienced with various training techniques and enjoy helping pets learn new tricks and behaviors. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and providing consistent care, especially when owners are away. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I am committed to providing a reliable and trustworthy service. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I have a hybrid work schedule and just recently got a puppy so I am going outside for potty breaks frequently. I live in a pet friendly apartment building and have a park and dog park right by me. I am available to take out your pet roughly every 2 hours. When pets stay in my home, I ensure they are welcomed into a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I provide a cozy, designated area for each pet, including comfortable bedding, toys, and personal space to relax. I follow the pet's specific dietary requirements and feeding schedule. Fresh water is always available. Regular walks, play sessions, and interactive activities to keep pets physically and mentally stimulated. My home is pet-proofed, with secure indoor and outdoor spaces to prevent any accidents or escapes. Pets are never left unattended for long periods. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I maintain a clean environment, with regular cleaning of pet areas, and feeding bowls. I am attentive to any signs of illness or discomfort and have a basic first aid kit on hand. I am also experienced in administering medications if needed. I provide regular updates and photos, so you know how your pet is doing. I look forward to providing the best possible care for your beloved companion!
About: Hello everyone! My name is Miranda and I am a recent Tufts University graduate with extensive animal behavior training. I currently live in Somerville and am excited to join the Rover community! I have experience working at a vet clinic and plan to apply to veterinary school. In addition to my love for animals, I have taken care of neighbors’ and friends’ pets since high school! I am currently working part-time as I complete my veterinary technician certification, so I have plenty of availability to help take care of neighborhood pets. I am generally available on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I love being outside and going for walks, especially when I have a furry friend to join me! I am very comfortable handling animals and can easily identify and de-escalate stress responses. I love socializing with dogs and cats, but am able to sense when an animal needs some space.
“I needed a last minute walker for my 3 pups. Caroline was happy to care for my dogs and took good care of them! Her communication was great. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Mike was great with Brady this week during his walks! He was proactive in reaching out before the week of walks started, responsive when I texted him, sent photos and heard from my husband and daughter that were home during Brady's walks that Mike was a great guy (it also looks like Brady had a blast too!). Will definitely use again. Thanks!”
“Michael is very responsive, flexible and dedicated. He gives me regular update and takes dog walking to the next level. You can tell that he enjoys it. I’m a repeat client ;)”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I’ll make it my mission to become your pets best friend, and make you feel like I’m giving your pets the amount of love attention they deserve as our companions. Currently I’m working part time from 5 to 11pm during the week. I’ll be available in the mornings until around 3pm when I need to start getting ready for work during the weekdays. I’m usually free throughout the entire weekend so I’ll be open to any and all requests. If you need someone immediately for unexpected situations during the weekend I’m your man. The way I’ll care for pets inside your home is by playing with them so they can get out some of that energy. As well as closely monitoring them to make sure I keep clients updated with any changes or concerns.
About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life, often with multiple dogs at a time (from golden retrievers, to a bichon, to doodles - I love them all!) Comfortable with dogs of all ages/breeds I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and am often available on weekends, happy to make time to spend time with dogs or cats! Very attentive to detail and will follow instructions left for pet care exactly. I'm very focussed on safety and am extremely reliable, and think of myself as very trustworthy and respectful of peoples spaces & things.

“Devin is my sister, so I’m a little biased—but she’s the most responsible and loving pet caregiver I know. We grew up with dogs and cats, and she’s always had a special bond with them. If she posted any photos of our childhood dog Cocoa (a border collie mix), you’ll see how much that dog adores her. Devin trained Cocoa to do all kinds of tricks and gave her so much love and attention. Your pet will be in good hands!”

Karina M.
“I highly recommend Karina Mirochnik as a dog sitter. From the moment I met Karina, I knew my pup was in great hands. She has an incredible way with dogs, my precious pup was very happy to greet Karina and stay with her. While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which made me feel so reassured. My dog came back happy, well-exercised, and was surrounded with so much love and attention. Karina truly went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, look no further!”
Miranda G.
“We have had the good fortune of knowing Miranda and her family for many years. She is a smart, gentle, respectful and patient person. While she was in high school she helped us with the care of our dog. Our dog had many issues: he had been hit by a taxi and as a result had a metal bar in one leg and, in a state of anxiety, he bit off several toes and always had to wear one shoe. He loved being with Miranda; her kind and sweet manner was so soothing. She was caring, loving and very responsive to his needs. We felt very at ease when she was with him. Miranda was always punctual, responsible and has a lovely disposition. We’ve never had a better caregiver for our dog, and there were many before her. We highly recommend her without any reservations.”
Shreya G.

Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or just providing comfort and companionship, Amanda approaches every task with genuine care and attention to detail. I’ve seen firsthand how much animals trust her, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable caregiver on Rover!”
