“Meredith took great care of Benny during his stay. She responded to all messages quickly and sent us updates throughout! We appreciated that she was able to take Benny for daycare on relatively short notice too.”
“Tyler was so good with Meatball and a huge help to us! He took the time to hang out with Meatball with couch snuggles and we know Meatball loved every minute of it. Definitely recommended Tyler for dog sitting needs!”
“Fitz really loves spending time with David. When I dropped him off, his tail wagged so hard and he nearly leapt out of the car to see him. David is always communicative and kind. We are so grateful for him!”
“This was our first experience with a dog sitter and Emily was amazing!We had a duck tour in Boston and needed someone to look after our pup for a few hours.She responded quickly and made us feel at ease right away.Our dog felt comfortable and even took a nap at her house 🥰 We’re so happy he had such a good time. Thank you so much, Emily! ☺️”
“Kelsey is an absolutely amazing caregiver for Fitz! This was the second time she has looked after him, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. Fitz was so happy and well-taken care of—he even got to go on fun outings with her! She truly treats him like her own. What impressed me most was Kelsey’s flexibility. I was running really late, and she graciously adjusted without any issues, which was such a relief. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you, Kelsey!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Tiffany and Steve were SO GOOD and patient at explaining things and offering tips and enrichment suggestions. Their insights were really helpful — especially as I’m only two months into having my rescue. It’s clear they’re very knowledgeable about animal behavior and really care about your pet and your relationship with your pet. For context, after a meet and great, my dog Feta did one day of daycare to make sure the situation works for boarding. This should make any other pet owner feel good knowing that Tiffany and Steve assess the dogs in their care to make sure the situation is good for all. Highly recommend!!!”
“Jennifer and Darren are both wonderful. She even made homemade treats for a friend and shared them with Kingsley, sent him some for home and he loved them! Thanks for being flexible as well, I was running late for pick-up and she was super kind about it.”
“Melissa and Ashwal were great! They took care of our dog while we explored Boston. They were so sweet to Crosby and treated him like their own. I would highly recommend them and would hire them again when we come back to Boston!”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of and trained many puppies/dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 6 years old and am now a pup parent to my own 4 month old mini dachshund. I’ve had terriers, Rottweilers, goldens, Dalmatians, dachshunds etc. and know the kind of specific care and love needed for each breed. These babies have their own little souls and I’d love to help out any loving pet parents and reduce any stress or fear you may have when leaving them in the care of someone else. I’m super active on my phone and work from home so am available on demand and ready with pictures and updates for peace of mind. Looking forward to working together soon and meeting you furry family members! I work from home and have my own puppy so I’m available almost 24/7 for walks and potty time before, after, and during work hours and on weekends. I live in a high end apartment with lots of doggy amenities including many green spaces and fenced play areas for lots of potty breaks and long walks. I have my own small friendly pup who can keep yours company and tire them out as well as have crates and gates available, lots of toys, and ramps for the smaller dogs to save their backs!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my live since I was a kid and now I’m doing my PhD here at MIT and I miss my dogs a lot so I would love to take care of yours! I’m available early in the mornings and during the weekends. Some evenings as well. Flexible schedule if needed, happy to chat and listen what you need I have a pet friendly apartment and I’m happy to adjust the space for your pet! Let me know what’s needed, open to suggestions !
About: I work from home and can provide a comfortable routine for your pet that includes potty breaks in the yard, walks around the city, and playtime with my dog. I can also take your dog for a run or to the dog park if approved. I have experience caring for many different types of dogs, including Vizslas, German Shorthaired Pointers, Setters, Cocker Spaniels, Dachshunds, and Doodles. I work from home. We typically do 2-3 activities outside every day with our dog, including a walk, run, or dog park playtime on top of regular potty breaks. My dog likes to look out the window or lay in the yard while I work and likes to snuggle on the couch in the evening. I can crate all pets in the home if I need to run an errand and at night for bedtime, if needed. Regular potty breaks are given in addition to keeping an eye out for dogs asking to go out.
“Kim was the best dogsitter I’ve had. She was really flexible with when I could drop Moose off and pick him up, she was very comfortable around him and knowledgeable. She was also super patient with him as he was getting acclimated to her space and other dogs. Moose had a really great time and we’re excited to come back.”
“Luna had a great two days with Meaghan! We were up for the weekend from New York so I really appreciated Meaghan’s smooth communication and pick ups/drops offs”
“All I can say is, Dan is the man. He was kind, considerate and very accommodating to our and Bubbas needs. Sent pics, took multiple walks and has access to a near by dog park. Thank you Dan and thank you Kada (his dog) for making Bubba feel special.”
“Masiel was able to accommodate us for a very last minute daycare request which we couldn’t be more grateful for. She was very kind and attentive to detail. Khloe took to her immediately. She honored all of our requests regarding Khloe’s care and we received pictures and updates throughout the day. Khloe seemed to enjoy her time with Masiel very much and even got a super cute toy to bring home. We will definitely rebook with Masiel next time we’re in Boston.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home my entire life and taken care of neighbors and friends dogs as well. They have relied on my to walk, feed and play (as well as cuddle of course). I am currently able to care for pets daily. My schedule is flexible for mornings, afternoon and early evenings. I can also help on some weekends if I am available. I am available to take your pet into my home for the day or I am happy to come to your home and care for you pet. I am able to feed, take out, go on long (or short) walks and give play time! I have a Golden Retriever who is very friendly with other dogs and would love to keep yours company for the day :)
About: As someone who grew up with many dogs and is a dog owner and trainer of my 4-year-old Aussiedoodle, I understand the importance of personalized care for each dog. I can’t imagine my life without my aussiedoodle, Millie, and treat all dogs as I would my own. I’ve trained my own pup in everything from basic commands to leash walking, which gives me a strong foundation in handling dogs of all ages and energy levels. Living in Charlestown, I know the best spots for walks and safe play areas. Whether it’s puppies needing extra patience or senior dogs requiring gentle care, I’m dedicated to providing reliable, loving service tailored to your dog’s needs. I work from home Monday-Friday and have a pretty flexible work schedule! This gives me the flexibility to work around you and your pups schedule! I share an apartment in Charlestown with my Aussiedoodle and boyfriend, Drew. I have a car and am available to come to your home for pet sitting services! I am also available for dog walking services rain or shine! Even on those cold winter days in Boston, I am around :) If I have owners permission, I would love to walk your dog with my dog (fully vaccinated, happy to show proof) However, I am VERY sensitive to each dogs needs and understand not all dogs like to play or walk with others so I will ALWAYS chat with the owner about this beforehand.

Leticia I.
“Leticia has been an absolute lifesaver for us and our puppy, Carmela. She’s cared for Carmela twice now, and each time has been amazing. Carmela is a 5-month-old golden retriever — full of energy, a little mischievous, and definitely a handful at times — but Leticia handles her with so much patience, love, and confidence. From the moment they met, Carmela was smitten. She lights up every time Leticia walks through the door, and it’s clear they’ve built a special bond. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping Carmela calm and happy, Leticia does it all with genuine care and attention. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found someone who treats our pup like family. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Leticia as their sitter or walker — she’s truly the best!”

Phoebe S.
“I highly recommend Phoebe as a dog walker and caregiver. She is an incredibly trustworthy, intelligent, and kind person who always goes above and beyond to ensure the safety and well-being of the dogs in her care. I’ve entrusted Phoebe with my dog on multiple occasions, including weekends, and each time my dog is reluctant to leave her. Phoebe’s street smarts are an added bonus—she's always aware of her surroundings and takes extra precautions to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or extended care, I know my dog is in the best hands with Phoebe. She truly has a special connection with animals, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my furry friend!”

Brendan has always been an exceptional dog-sitter and is the only one we have worked with since our move to East Boston! Brendan has allowed our dog Saoirse to make great strides in overcoming some of her separation anxiety, which has helped her become more independent even at home with us! Saoirse adores Brendan and is always excited for doggy day care at his place! We are so grateful to be regular customers and look forward to continuing to work with Brendan!
We couldn’t be happier with Ed and Shyana and the care they provided our adolescent pup Maple. They loved on her as if she were their own and sent us lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely be using them again. —Maple loved her time there so much she was actually sad to leave.

Allie was so great with our 13 year old cockapoo when he joined her for doggie daycare! She did a meet and greet with us, kept us super informed throughout the day with updates and pictures, and we could tell she really enjoyed hanging with him. He came home exhausted in the best possible way! We've already booked Allie again and she'll be on our regular rotation for daycare for our boy!
I can’t recommend Fernanda enough! She took such amazing care of my 4-month-old puppy, and I could tell right away that he was in great hands. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and kind—not just with my pup, but with me as well. I was running late due to an accident under the tunnel, and she was so understanding and flexible, which I really appreciated. The best part? My puppy absolutely adores her! He lights up with excitement every time he sees her, which tells me everything I need to know. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who genuinely cares and creates such a positive, safe environment for him. Thank you again for everything—you’re truly the best!
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.
Caitlin is fantastic! She took such great care of our goldendoodle, Sadie and sent lots of pictures and updates. We were able to relax knowing Sadie was having fun and in safe hands! She was very flexible and easy to communicate with. We will definitely reach out to Caitlin in the future!
