“Isabella is amazing! She got back to us so fast and was willing to watch Cali last minute for us for 6 days. This was our first time leaving Cali with someone other than family and you could tell by all the photos Cali had the best week! She was so loved and cared for! Isabella sends photos/updates daily that gave us confidence Cali was in the best hands. We already have plans to have Isabella watch Cali again soon! Highly highly recommend Isabella, would give 10 stars if we could!”
About: Hi! I’m Linh - your pet’s favorite aunt. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pets behind, so my goal is simple: keep their routine consistent, keep them happy, and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive caring for your pets. I also volunteered at an animal shelter when I was younger, which helped me become comfortable with animals of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and communication throughout your booking because I know you’re trusting me with family, not just a pet. I offer flexible weekday and weekend availability for dog walks and drop-in visits and currently service the MetroWest area, including Framingham, Wayland, Natick, and nearby towns. Pet parents looking for weekly walks are always welcome as consistent schedules really help pets feel comfortable and at ease. For housesitting, availability may be more limited depending on the pet’s schedule and care needs. I’m best suited for pets that can be left alone for a few hours at a time. If a date appears unavailable on my calendar, feel free to reach out anyway, as I may still be able to accommodate depending on the time and location. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and adjust activities based on weather, age, health, and energy level. During hot weather, walks may be shortened when needed to prevent overheating, with the remaining time spent on indoor play.

About: I grew up surrounded by 3 dogs all throughout my childhood. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages as well as rabbits. I have experience in elderly dog care as I had taken care of my elderly dog, helping him stand and ensuring medications were given on time. I have two adoring kittens who I’ve raised from 4weeks old, i’ve had cats all while growing up. I can do deep litter box cleanings if asked. I strive to not only meet your needs and make you happy but also ensure your pet is happy and feels loved under my care. I work early mornings and get out at 2pm at the latest, meaning I have the majority of the day to be able to walk, play, and spend time with your pet(s). We can soak up the sunshine and they’ll always get dinner on time. I love to play with your pets, ensuring they get their energy out and have a good time. I love to go on walks with your dog or play with them in a yard.
“Tricia was fabulous! Our dogs loved her. She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She left our house spotless, took the dogs for long walks which they loved, and kept us updated with texts and photos. We were delayed getting home due to a blizzard, and she could not have been more flexible or helpful. Cannot recommend enough!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. I worked my first job as a dog groomer and daycare manager for anxious and hard to train dogs. I’m certified in animal CPR and first aid and have experience giving all types of medication. You can trust that I’ll care for your furry friend just as well as you do! I currently work part time in the mornings, so I have all afternoon to spend with your pets! I have less flexibility on weekends, but will try my best to make times work with enough advance notice. I am a respectful guest of the environment I’m in and make sure to give every animal exactly what they need, as well. You can trust that I will take good care of your pet and your space!
“Eric cares or our pups like they are his own. Our younger one can be skittish with new people but took to him right away. And Eric cheerfully puts up with our old fellow's senility and the challenges yhat brings. We feel very fortunate to have found him!”
“Nicole helped me out in a big way while I was away at a wedding! I got adorable pictures of my pup and was very happy to hear she took the time to let her warm up. Will definitely rebook with Nicole again, highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Devon to pet sit your furry loved ones. Devon stayed at our home and I was very confident that our 2 pups were well loved and taken care of while we were gone. She has strong communication skills and I was very comfortable leaving my pups with her! Can’t wait for her to sit for us again.”
About: I've lived with animals since I was 11—including 3 cats and a dog—and my mom has always adopted senior pets with medical needs, so I’m used to gentle care, giving medications, and adapting routines for older or anxious animals. I'm calm, quiet, and patient, which makes me a great match for pets that are shy, reactive, or need a soft presence. I respect animals’ boundaries, take their comfort seriously, and genuinely enjoy being around them—whether that means walks, playtime, or just existing together in peace. I'm especially good with cats and have experience with dogs who need space or structure. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and prefer part-time work, so I can prioritize animals without feeling rushed. I take my time, move at the pet’s pace, and always make space for their needs. I prioritize calm, quiet, and consistency when coming to clients homes. I respect each animal's space, follow all care instructions exactly, and check in often if something seems off. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and understood at all times.
“Kept a close eye on my elderly dog with a heart condition. When something looked amiss, she contacted my vet and took my dog to Angel Medical. Chloe's back home, looking good.”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I have cared for many other people’s pets. I have taken care of small dogs and larger dogs, cats and other furry animals also. I have my own rescues and love every animal I meet! I would love to help you take care of your fur baby! I am a runner so would be more than happy to help your pup get the excersise and join me for a run, walk, trip to the park, whatever your pup loves to do! I am available to help out evenings and weekends! If you work either of those it can be hard to find petcare and would love to help out and hang with your pet! I am flexible with times and travel!
“Caroline H. was great! I really appreciated that she reached out a few days in advance so I felt confident there would be no hiccups on the start date. I also appreciated that she stripped the bed and started the washing machine with her sheets and towels before we came home. She was understanding when, after the wedding, I was delayed and my brother and his wife arrived back at the house before me. But most importantly, I could tell she treated our dog well while were were away!”
“Tristan did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and house during an extended vacation. If you need a great, attentive, caring dog/house sitter, get Tristan if you can! He sent videos every day which were fun to see and comforted us that our dog was getting sweet attention without us.”
“We’re so lucky to have found Charlene. All 3 of our pets love when she takes care of them. Charlene is super communicative and keeps us updated on how each of them is doing.”
“This was our first time with a pet sitter and we know our boy (labs - 85lbs and 70lbs) are a handful, but Nicholas did a great job! Both pups were tired and happy when we came back. Nicholas was very patient with them, sent us a bunch of pictures of the boys having a good time, was punctual and we would absolutely have Nicholas watch them again!”
“Gus did an amazing job taking care of Penny. She got so much exercise and play that she slept until 10am for the first time maybe ever. He was excellent keeping me posted on their routine and is great to work with!”
“Becki is terrific. I'd book her again in a heartbeat. I hesitate to say that because I want her all to myself, but we need to share the best! Great with my dog, communicative, intelligent.”
Cochituate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Wendy did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs. She communicated constantly and sent regular photos which I really appreciated. It made being away much less stressful. My pets looked happy, well cared for and everything at home was in good shape when I returned. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.
Every time we plan a vacation, we make sure to check whether Haley will be available to take care of our shepherd during those dates of our absence. She is very caring and reliable. We told our closest friends about our experience, and they asked us to give them a way to get in touch with Haley. We have only positive emotions from our side—and from our beloved dog as well.
Linh was an amazing dog sitter! She was very clear and consistent with communication the entire time I was away. She regularly kept me updated with messages and photos, which made me feel really comfortable knowing my dog was doing well. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter.
Nicholas was incredibly communicative and worked great with our dogs! One of our dogs is a covid dog and has a hard time with introductions to new people, and he liked Nicholas right away. They had quite a few medications (our dog dog a skin infection right before we left) and he handled it all really well. Would definitely recommend Nicholas!
Lilit went above and beyond for my anxious little chihuahua, who ADORED her. She spent so much time with my animals and was in constant contact with videos and photos. She was an excellent sitter and immediately won over a pretty neurotic pup. Will definitely hire again!
Julia is an amazing dog sitter! We were gone for 10 days, communication was great. She definitely loves dogs and gives them the attention and care they need and deserve while their family is away. She handled an unexpected event very well, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions on how to better care for our dog. We will be using Julia again for any dates she’s available!
