About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who is new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. I currently have a cat of my own and grew up with multiple dogs, giving me experience caring for pets with a variety of personalities and needs. Over the years, I've pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for both cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, and helping pets maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I also work a flexible hybrid schedule, which often allows me to check in during the day in addition to mornings and evenings. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I'll provide reliable, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pet loves attention or prefers a quieter approach, I'll treat them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work a flexible hybrid schedule and typically only go into the office 1–2 days per week, though my schedule can fluctuate as needed. This allows me to be available for drop-in visits in the mornings, during the day, and in the evenings or to watch your pet in my own home throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any household routines that help your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I have 1 very social cat, Goose, who is 2 years old. He is absolutely spoiled and more than willing to share his space and toys.
“Emily is amazing and truly loved pups. I truly felt so safe having her there and in our home! I’m definitely excited to work with her in the future and I’m super grateful for her.”
“Amanda was amazing!! All updates were thorough and she took so many good pictures, she spent lots of time playing and cuddling with our cat, who clearly loved her too :) highly recommend!!!”
“Nathan was fantastic! I was concerned because my dog has some separation anxiety and we weren’t sure how she would do, but Nathan’s visits, updates and photos truly put me at ease. He took her to hang out with some of his regular dogs he works with and she did great and had fun. I will DEFINITELY be reaching out to Nathan again in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone else in the area. Thank you, Nathan!”
“Alicia was communicative and punctual with her visit. My cat gets lonely on his own, and she sent me pictures of him looking very happy having some playtime and a belly rub (his favorite). She adhered to the instructions I left for her and she was caring and attentive. I came home to a happy cat and that makes me happy! I have already booked Alicia for a future visit and I can enjoy my vacation knowing my cat will be well taken care of.”
“Wonderful pet sitter. She too great care of our animals including one of our cats that is on three times a day meds. Very responsive and sent many updates and pictures.”
“Cat was perfect! She administered my cats pill pockets timely and sent updates each time which I loved. She also stayed to play with both of my cats each time and sent lots of pictures and updates. Thank you so much cat! I will absolutely be booking with cat again.”
“Miliana did a great job taking care of my grumpy 16-year-old cat Percy. He hid from her at first (his normal behavior); but within a few days they were clearly buddies!”
“This was our second time booking with Gabi and just like last time, she took such great care of our girls! She was so mindful about making them as comfortable as possible that when one of my cats was feeling a bit shy, Gabi gave her a treat to reintroduce herself. Love the thoughtful and carefulness that Gabi has when checking in on my cats. Will be my go-to sitter from now on!!”
“Erin was a wonderful catsitter for our boy Merlot! She was kind, respectful, responsible, and communicative. We asked to receive picture updates and received daily photos of well-loved cat. I would recommend Erin without hesitation and will gladly ask her to watch Merlot again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets and others’ since I was about 8 years old. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pet-sitting needs, and I genuinely love being able to help out. I grew up with both cats and dogs (and a few other animals along the way!), and spent a lot of time training and doing agility work with my family’s Border Collie. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies to senior pets, as well as all sizes and temperaments. I’m also comfortable administering medications to your pets, and have had experience doing this with both cats and dogs. I just finished graduate school, so I’ve got good availability during work hours/work days to do check-ins and walks! My schedule is extremely flexible as I job hunt for a full time position. My cats are indoor cats and have plenty of access to toys, climbing trees/stimulation, food and water, and their litter box! I would ensure that your pets are extremely well cared for according to your instructions.
About: I grew up with 2 Yorkies and bulldogs! I love dogs with my life. Dogs are like family to me. One of my Yorkies (they both live in my hometown) passed away recently due to her age, so I do know how to properly take care of dogs even when it comes to senior dogs or even puppies. I am always available to take care of dogs! I live with my boyfriend who works at home so he is available in case I’m not home. I go to law school so sometimes it does get busy but I’m always happy to take care of a baby (pet)! I take care of pets at my home by providing them a place for them to be able to sleep comfortably and play with their toys. I also think that talking to them calms them down and makes them more comfortable. Dogs are really smart and they do understand rules if you explain it to them!
About: I've have volunteered in animal care since I was a teen. I have had both cats and dogs that I raised from newborns to senior citizens in need of special care. I love pets and will work hard to make yours feel at home while you're away :) I am a new grad student in Boston, so dog walking and cat sitting is a perfect way to get fresh air between my online classes! I don't offer boarding, but as a pet owner I know how important it is to keep pets safely secured by leash or harness if stepping outside is part of the request.
About: Hi! My name is Gabby and I’m looking for opportunities to walk/run with dogs in the North End (or nearby) between 11 am and 12:30 pm on mondays and wednesdays and any time 12:30 or earlier any other day of the week while I build my personal training business. 🙂 I have been dogsitting and walking dogs consistently since 2023 and previously from 2019-2020. I have watched a lot of different kinds of dogs and especially like working with active breeds who need to expand some energy on their walks! I’d love to learn about your dogs needs and what I can do to support them on their walk (or run). I’m looking to increase my running mileage this spring and summer, so if you have a dog you run with who needs a run, I can run with them to help them expend some energy!

I am so so grateful for Alyssa! She was able to watch my two cats for what was a pretty last minute trip. She was super timely, always very responsive, and took a ton of pictures with each check in. My cats loved her and clearly felt very calm and cared for while i was gone. She also left great updates and i felt so reassured. Couldn’t recommend her more - she is great with cats and i assume all other animals too :) thank you Alyssa!!
Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and everything was perfect. We truly appreciate her help and would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Nathan took great care of our two cats during a two-week trip, and we would happily book him again. He was reliable, communicative, and easy to work with, and he sent regular check-ins that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. During each visit, he handled everything we needed — feeding, checking the litter, playing with the cats, making sure they were happy and comfortable, and even tidying up a small mess one of them made — all without any fuss. We also appreciated his patient help when our Litter Robot got a little finicky mid-trip. Overall, Nathan was thoughtful, dependable, and clearly cared about making sure our cats were well looked after. We were all very glad to have his care.
The best of the best!! Mary Kate loves Betty like her own and it’s evident in her care for her. I also had a small issue with something in my apartment and Mary Kate was communicative, flexible, and a HUGE HELP to get it resolved!! Thank you so so so much as always :)
Isabel was an incredible sitter for our special needs cat, Maeby. Maeby is diabetic and needs to be on a strict feeding/insulin shot schedule and Isabel handled everything perfectly. This was the first time we have had to be away from our cat since her diabetes diagnosis so we were quite nervous about the whole thing but after meeting Isabel and getting her check-in updates, we definitely felt much more relaxed and comfortable knowing Maeby was in great hands. I highly recommend Isabel and will 100% invite her back to take care of Maeby in the future.
Courtney was absolutely fantastic! She went out of her way to make a special trip to meet Dolly beforehand, and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves animals. She took wonderful care of my cat and was incredibly accommodating when an issue came up with the key. I had unfortunately left her with a lock that wasn’t working properly, and she handled the situation with patience and resourcefulness. I felt completely at ease knowing Dolly was in such caring and capable hands.
