About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 5 years, including pet sitting, walking, and training my families puppy. As an active runner, I love taking dogs on long walks or jogs to keep them happy and healthy. I ensure that each pet gets individualized care, playtime, and attention to make them feel comfortable and loved. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to care for your furry friend! I currently work remotely 9-5 with a relaxed schedule and can frequently take your dog outside or on longer walks in the mornings and during lunchtime. I have a spacious apartment with close access to the greenway and parks for walking and potty breaks. I can also work with your dogs routine and preference's.
“Thank you so much, Jinyu, for taking such amazing care of Koda! We could really tell she felt comfortable and happy with you. We truly appreciated all the updates, photos, and the love and attention you gave her during her stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you again for treating Koda like family, we would absolutely love to book with you again in the future 😊”

About: My fiancée and I are lifelong dog lovers who genuinely enjoy everything that comes with caring for a pup! We’ve had our own dog for the past year after bringing him home as a puppy, so we’re comfortable with puppy energy, training, walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I also grew up with a rescue dog, which made my love for animals start early. Your pup will be treated just like one of our own! 🐾❤️ We work from home Monday, Thursday, and Friday, so these are our favorite days to welcome pups into our home! Your dog will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We’re currently not offering daycare or boarding on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which allows us to give each pup staying with us the time and attention they deserve. Our apartment is very dog-friendly, safe, and welcoming! We have a small Maltipoo of our own who loves having furry friends around, and we live directly across from a dog park, making walks and playtime easy and convenient. We’ll follow your pup’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. We’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for!

K is amazing! My dog Sidon had his own vacation while I had mine. She is very caring and everytime she sent me the pictures of Sidon, he was so happy. She is also very thoughtful - she asked thorough questions in advance to accommodate the need of Sidon. Highly recommend!
Greta was amazing! She took such great care of Lila and did a fantastic job keeping me updated throughout the weekend. I especially loved receiving all the photos—it was so nice to see Lila happy and having a great time! I would absolutely recommend Greta and would love to book with her again! 🐾❤️
The care that Shriya and her husband Shay gave our cats was absolutely outstanding. They went above and beyond to make sure our cats were loved and well-cared for during their 7-week stay with them. The communication was very clear and we received lots of photos and info about our cats, Shriya was always responsive and helpful, and all of their help really made the complicated travel arrangements to Spain much easier. We are extremely grateful for all of their help, and especially all of the love that our cats got. It was clear when we picked them up that they received just as much love and kindness during those 7 weeks as they were used to receiving from us. We recommend them without reservation, you will have the highest level of care for your pets!
She was amazing with my 4-month-old puppy! Her communication was great, she kept me updated, and I felt comfortable knowing my puppy was in good hands. She was reliable, caring, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! ❤️
We could not have put our two cats in better care! Chasstity completely put our worries at ease! She kept us posted with constant updates and let us know if anything was off as both our cats were in the midst of a little world tour! I hope to reach out to Chasstity for pet care needs anytime I’m in Boston again and cannot reccomend her services enough !

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
