“Jordan was kind, professional, responsive, and made me feel very comfortable leaving my cat in her care. Her updates were warm and reassuring during a 10 day vacation, the first I had ever taken with having a cat and also being the first time I used this app and a sitter to help care for him. Wonderful experience, thank you!”
About: What sets me apart is my understanding of animal behavior and my calm, confident approach with pets of all temperaments. I’m experienced in basic training for puppies, providing exercise for high-energy dogs, and offering gentle care for seniors. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether you need weekday walks, weekend care, or last-minute bookings, I’m happy to help whenever I’m available. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and personalized care, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages throughout our time together When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow each pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, medication, and playtime. I also take time to give them affection and attention so they feel safe while their family is away. I treat every home with respect and always leave things neat and tidy.
“Christie was an angel with my temperamental cat. She took the time to get to know him and find the best ways to approach him and make him feel safe. I am endlessly grateful for the amazing care she provided while I was away!”
About: I grew up with animals. Dogs and cats specifically have always been apart of my life. I am able to keep up with with the youngest peppy puppy or slow down to meet the pace of a senior dog. I am not fazed by much and happy to provide the same love and care that you would give to your animal. I am a freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I have the ability to work with you on potential last minute needs and care for your pets. I am very comfortable caring for animals weather it be a quick check at the home ot in an more outdoor adventure. My goal is to give your animal the care they care they need in the environment that works best for you and them.
About: Growing up with dogs, I was always active and outdoors with them. i know how important it is for your pet to be exercised and the joy it brings them to tag along for fun activities. I will be working part time from home and new to Boston looking to dedicate more hours to your pet and establish a reliable relationship with new client long term. I'm very attentive to their leash behavior and put their safety first when outside. Inside the house, I make sure there are no choking hazards, and they are hydrated in extreme temperatures.
“Olivia was wonderful! My cat is a very social, affectionate guy - he really needs companionship when I have to travel as he can sometimes get ibd flair ups when he is stressed, and I can tell she kept him in excellent company. He was perfectly calm and happy when I got back. I really appreciated Olivia taking the time to do an intro visit; she is friendly and professional, and struck an immediate friendship with my cat - it's always a little scary to leave your pet with a new sitter, but it was easy to trust Olivia with him upon first meeting her. She sent check in texts and photos. We look forward to booking with her again in the future!”
“Grace is awesome! She is very communicative and happily worked with my random schedule. I couldn’t be happier. And my dog loves Grace as well. He is all about people but he knows his favorites and Grace is one of them. She is great to work with!”
“Dominque was very attentive in feeding our cat while we were away. She went above and beyond in communicating what she was doing, and sent lots of pictures. I felt very comfortable leaving Luna in her hands and would definitely book her again!”
About: I am a true dog lover and plenty of experience as I have dogsat many times throughout the years. I have had three dogs myself so I understand the responsibility and care that each dog needs! I love animals and love spending time outside with them! I just moved to Jackson and do not start work until the end of April, leaving plenty of time to take care of your pet! My schedule is very flexible so if you need any specific care, I am available. I love to be outside and doing so with a pet is even better! I enjoy walks and hikes, whichever you are most comfortable with.
“Maanya took great care of our cat! She made sure he was comfortable around her and he warmed up to her quickly. She also promptly responded to all my messages and requests. I highly recommend her!”
“Priscilla was great. She took my pup last minute before a business trip and kept him for over 24 hours while I made a quick overnight trip to Chicago. Would highly recommend!”
“Alex was fantastic! He was very communicative, great with our cat, and went the extra mile to make sure she kept cool during a heat wave. I'd definitely book him again! Definitely gave us piece of mind on our trip - thanks Alex!”
About: I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule looking to spend some free time racking up that dopawmine! I have grown up with dogs and cats for my whole life and although I do not have my own furry friend right now, I adore pets and would love to share that with your pet! I have experience house sitting for a family with 3 medium sized dogs and am comfortable with dogs of any size. I also love to go on walks and stretch my legs, what would be a better addition than a doggo companion! Although I love dogs, also have experience with cats and love all from snuggle to sass! My camera roll is essentially filled with dogs and I would love to send updates throughout my walk/stay with your pet! I would be overjoyed for you to let me share some of my love with your furry friend! Please reach out, can’t wait to hear from you and yours 🐾. I am a graduate student at Northeastern with a flexible schedule. Because I have no pets of my own (yet!) I have a very open schedule! I am very comfortable walking on leash with dogs and am happy to do feedings and potty breaks! I appreciate clear instructions tailored to your pet to make them as comfortable as possible in their routine.
About: I've have grown up surrounded by animals (2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 brothers!). I have experience in short and long term dog & cat sitting. My most interesting sitting experience was watching 5 cats at once (the more the merrier)! I also have experience taking care of small animals including hamsters and guinea pigs. With my family, I have helped to foster and find the forever homes for 2 dogs, 1 adult cat, and 2 kittens! I have experience and am comfortable working with shy and nervous animals. I am a student at Boston College living in Newton for the summer. I am currently taking classes and am a research intern which take up roughly 2-4 hours a day. I also work in downtown Boston on Monday's and Wednesday's between 9am-5pm. While I do not have a car, I am well versed in Boston public transportation. I am a very active person and would be happy to take your pups walking, running, and on hiking adventures! For services in my home: I currently live with 1 roommate and do not have any pets. I am comfortable with short-term boarding (no longer than 4 weeks) for dogs and cats. I have an unfenced backyard but have close access to a fenced in dog-park. My apartment is on the second floor - a concern for older dogs who might have trouble with stairs. For services in client homes: I am able to stay in client homes & I am clean and quiet! I am happy to complete cleaning services or other house-sitting tasks along with caring for your dogs, cats, or small animals. I am also comfortable visiting client homes periodically, including multiple times a day if needed.
“Camila was the absolute best. She is the first pet sitter we had for our kitten, she visited three times a day and I never worried she wasn’t going to show up. She was communicative and caring.”
“J was a fantastic stay-in catsitter for my foster cat, Lyric. She stayed for six days and nights, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Lyric can be shy, but J did an amazing job bringing him out of his shell. She got him using cat beds and toys he’d never shown interest in before. J clearly has a wonderful instinct with cats and a very calm, positive presence. J also took excellent care of the house, kept the litter very clean, and was extremely communicative throughout the stay. J sent lots of photos and videos, and as a former professional photographer the pictures were truly beautiful. As a thoughtful surprise, J even left a small painting of Lyric on a wooden block, which meant a lot. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend J to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and truly wonderful cat sitter.”
“Alexa took the time to meet my cat ahead of time & spend time w/him during his checkins. She has a lot of experience w/cats & obviously cares about animals. I will be booking her for future checkins. Thank u!”
“Susie took great care of our 2 energetic 18-month-old cats while we were out of the country for a week. She came reliably twice a day to feed them, play with them, and keep their litter box clean, and she kept us posted with adorable photos. This was our first time leaving these cats with a stranger, and Susie did a lovely job of keeping them happy and allaying our concerns.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chestnut Hill
Hannah is excellent with my black cat, Juniper! She engages with Junie at the level she needs, shifting her play and attention based on my cat’s mood. She always checks food, water and litter and takes good photos with a detailed report. I will be using her again!
Great first time using Rover with Alyssa! Our meet and greet was very comforting and she helped me understand the app better during that time before booking with her. During the visits, she left detailed reports and got cute photos of my cat. I definitely would recommend Alyssa for any of your pet needs!
Kate was great! She was available to watch our senior kitty last minute when our prior plans fell through. She was incredibly responsive, sent great daily updates, and was a cat expert! Our kitty warmed up to her quickly and appreciated the love and attention from Kate while we were away.
Words cannot express how thankful we are of Helena! We needed a last minute sitter for our cats and she came through last second!! Our 2 boys immediately loved her during our meet and greet, she paid attention to detail and went above and beyond our expectations! We love the extra attention she gave our boy Julius, making sure he ate since he is shy and our other cat loves to steal his food. We loved the fun details she left after every visit and put us at ease!! We HIGHLY recommend Helena! We definitely plan to use her again!!!

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
