“Chantay was professional, prompt and super responsive. She went above and beyond to help make sure our cat received his medications. Our cat is a super hider but she always was able to give him care. Would 100% recommend her to any pet owner!”
About: I have been a dog owner for many years, with a major preference for small dogs. Not only do I have lots of experience caring for my own pets, but I have sat and cared for the dogs of many different friends and family, as well as those I don’t personally know well, over the years. I am patient, loving, always try to have fun with the dogs, and always try to give them the best care possible. I’ve had dogs all my life. I got my first dog, Lukey, when I was young and he was my best friend. Originally got him for my mother to keep her company, but fell in love with him myself and made him my own once she passed. I’d take him through the woods on walks and we eventually became inseparable. He passed at age 18. Eventually I met a woman who had two dogs of her own and they became like my kids. I had them for many years, although sadly they are all passed now as well. Currently I help care for two dogs with my ex who lives in the apartment below me, as we are still good friends. I make sure they are well cared for and take them out regularly. I love to play with them. I take dogs very seriously as they are like family to me. I can currently work Monday-Saturday, with exceptions. I do have to schedule around some minor things early in the morning, and those take priority, and those can be discussed, but otherwise I’m completely free. I love animals and always try to give them 100% of the love and attention they deserve. I feed them, walk them, take them out and play with them, and always try to give them my best. I’ve always treated my own dogs as if they were my children, and I extend that to any dog I care for.
About: Since I was 10 years old, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their dog(s). I've stayed overnight at their houses to provide the requested care as well as visits during the day. Additionally I’ve hosted pet(s) overnight. As a teacher during the academic year, I am available to provide pet care before and after school during the week. I’ll be at my school for approximately 7 hours each day. My boyfriend and I live together in our apartment and he’s also able to help providing pet care. My weekends are typically open during the academic year with an occasional event. From mid-June until late August, I have more availability during the week to provide pet care. I am an active person. I enjoy running, hiking, and long walks to release energy, especially with a canine campion. I've also brought dogs to local dog parks. I enjoy playing with dogs and even lounging at the house with them. At my apartment, the shared backyard has a fence and an outdoor lead as well.
“Thank you so much Jasmine ! She took such phenomenal care of my cat , stayed the whole time to play with him , cleaned the litter box and went above and beyond . So trustworthy . Thank you again .”

“Emma was so wonderful! She was reliable, kind, and very loving with my two babies. She took such good care of them and sent report on how they were doing and pictures! It’s so hard leaving my dogs as they are my children, but I know that they were in wonderful hands!”


About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly enjoys caring for pups of all breeds and personalities. Throughout my life I've been so fortunate to care for three dogs from the days we first brought them home as puppies to their last days. I feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. Spending time with and caring for my friends' and family's dogs has always been a big part of my life. I treat every dog like my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I offer dog walking, daycare (at your home or mine), and boarding (again at your home or mine), and regardless of your pup's needs they’ll be in caring hands. I look forward to taking care of your dog! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can easily accommodate daytime walks, playtime, and love to have a dog-friend close by while I am working. Whether it's for day care or an overnight, how I care for your dog can be tailored to your dog's needs. I have frequently stayed overnight at the owner's house, including places pretty far from my own home. Several of the photos in my profile are with dogs that I cared for while traveling! Your dogs' safety, health, physical activity needs, dietary needs, and need for snuggling (or need for space if you have a less social or timid pup) are really what's most important. In my home you are welcome to bring a crate, your dog's favorite toys or bed, food/snacks, as well as anything else your dog might need. We also have a very large sectional that we bought with dog-snuggling in mind, but if you have any rules with your dog that are important for me to reinforce, I will absolutely respect that.
“Totally 5 star pet sitter! Punctual, considerate, meticulous, and such a warm-hearted person! She informed me everyday of important or irregular things about my kitties such as whether their pees&poops amount are normal, whether they left any foods, and whether they vomitted, etc. It was quite surprising how experienced she was! Also, it was absolutely a pleasure to talk with her. She was a very relatable and cheerful person. It was the first time to use Rover’s pet-sitting service, and was such a satisfying experience. I highly recommend Boning! Thank you so much♥️”

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and hamsters and I am willing to experience a lot more! Don’t worry, I always enjoyed animals and providing them with love and care, so your mind will be at ease when you are away. I recently completed school but I also work a per diem job. Aside from studying to receive my certification, I have plenty of time to be with your cute companions, and spend time with them. Who knows, maybe while we’re together we can become the best study buddies. I am extremely flexible and always willing to discuss further if you have interest in booking. As I’ve had plenty of experience with Cats, I’m well aware of choking hazards on string like materials. I try to keep items like this out of reach! I am very clean when it comes to my space and noticed that this helps as some kitty’s can be a little curious and knock things off surfaces. When things are put away correctly there’s less chance for mess or danger. I am still gaining some experience with Dogs and puppies. As far as safety, I only do leashed walks to not only protect your pup but others who may be passing by as well! Again, I'm pretty organized and will avoid leaving items out, especially food! I know some animals are very food motivated and leaving food products out can be dangerous.
About: Ive got my hands dirty from the start, caring for my family dog ever since he was a pup. From walks to playtime to baths and grooming. I’ll treat your dog like my own. I’m working part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. For my days off I am available for most of the day. I’ll try my best to meet with you halfway to make the most of your time My home is very dog friendly. I have a big backyard (enclosed of course) with more than enough room for them to run around. I have toys, a leash and harness and a large dog bed if nap time is needed.
About: Hi! I'm a recent graduate who lives with a senior cat; I have a lot of experience with senior pets, special needs pets, medication administration, etc. I'm able to exercise with and play however your dog likes! I've been pet sitting and walking dogs for my friends and family (and Wag!) for over a decade (dog in the profile picture is my brother's dog Kuma!) Pets bring me so much joy and I want to help take care of them as a community effort :) I'm here to build trust, please ask any questions 🫰 I am a gig worker currently, therefore very flexible—request me and there's a high chance I'll be available! I'm around weekends and weekdays, my own cat has plenty of alternate caregivers. I would not be able to host pets in my home, but would follow any rules at clients homes to make pets feel safe and regulated :) consistency helps them and me!
About: I’ve walked/sat for dogs since I was a kid. I’ve grown up with a dog and now have my own at the age of 25 I am in Norwood living with my partner and looking for work, I decided to put a profile together and take care of pets to earn some money in the mean time. They’re allowed all the free play space in the open living area. Lots of space to run around. We’re close to a field for fetch and walks and I am more than happy to drive to a fenced in dog park. I have a vehicle and can drive to your home as well to hang out in the pets home if need be. I trained my dog by myself she is very responsible. She is energetic but kind and cuddly. She knows how to sit, come, stay, play dead, sit pretty, give paw, and loves fetch
About: Hey hey! My name's Victoria, but friends call me Rev. I moved here a couple of years ago now from Georgia, began pet sitting in April 2024, and it's currently my full-time job! I've been fascinated with animals since a young age, with about ~17 years of experience, mainly with cats. As I've gotten older, I've fallen in love with the human-animal bond, and have become passionate about their care and respecting each one the way they deserve. Regardless of your pet's personality, preferences, or needs, I'm excited to meet, care, and accommodate your little darling with the same love as you would! I hope to hear from you soon 😊! As this is my full-time job, I'm capable of prioritizing my schedule to work for you and your sweetheart(s). I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). If you're not sure, please feel welcome to ask! If I can fit them into my schedule, even on short-notice or alongside another sweetie, I'm more than happy to see what I can do. I've got the kind of guest attitude you can expect from a typical Southerner! I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them, and due to a background in housekeeping it's not uncommon for me to do some cleaning before I leave. You can trust to come back to your home just as you left it, if not with less dust than before!
“Sean is a great human and a great carer. My dog is incredibly picky and always right. She will decide at the door, on the first sniff, if she is ok with someone or now, and she immediately took to Sean. He tracks their walking route and sends me the cutest update pictures. He has also been so flexible with my dogs recent surgeries. He walks my dog daily and it is the highlight of her day!”

About: I have cared for my own pets for many years and have experience looking after family members' pets as well. I currently care for my four cats and previously helped care for my sister's dog by providing feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Caring for animals has always been important to me, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I am committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work full-time during the week, but I am available for pet care on the weekends. I understand the importance of consistency and communication and will work with pet owners to ensure their pets receive the care and attention they need. I am happy to provide updates and photos during visits so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests from owners. I understand that pets can become stressed when their owners are away, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I also believe in regular communication and am happy to provide updates and photos throughout my visits.
About: With my 6+ experience with pets I feel I am equipped for check ins, walks, overnight stays, etc. I’m willing to be flexible in order to accommodate you and your pets needs! I am a teacher full time and rover is something I use to fill my free time! Come summertime I will have more availability for boarding, check ins and walking! Please reach out if you have any inquiries! I am flexible and have great problem solving skills to accommodate any situation that may arise. I have great communication as well for anything that the pawrents might need while their pet is under my care.
“Liz was fantastic! She was timely, responsive, and took great photos. Most importantly, she listened to our cat and gave him space when needed. Would highly recommend”

Dedham dog parents share their Rover experiences
We love working with Sarah! She’s extremely capable, professional, and communicative. Our dogs very much enjoy her visits, and she handles their medications, mobility issues, and particular quirks very capably! We can travel with peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
Felicia took the time to do a meet and greet and also took great care of our three crazy pups while we were out. Very communicative and sent lots of photos, we don’t let many people watch our dogs so was very thankful Felicia was so great with them, highly recommend!

Sean is a great human and a great carer. My dog is incredibly picky and always right. She will decide at the door, on the first sniff, if she is ok with someone or now, and she immediately took to Sean. He tracks their walking route and sends me the cutest update pictures. He has also been so flexible with my dogs recent surgeries. He walks my dog daily and it is the highlight of her day!

Ginny has watched our dog and two cats multiple times. She is extremely trustworthy, communicative, and reliable… and best of all she loves on them and gives them attention like we would! We feel good about going out of town knowing that Ginny will be watching over our furry family members. We have had her in our home overnight for multiple nights and she left it spotless. We only have great things to say about Ginny and Pax, Piper, and Gino agree!

Carmen and Alex are great communicators - they respond quickly to messages through the app which is always reassuring. They took excellent care of our crazy little guy, Pax, and really seemed to enjoy his company as well. We felt very comfortable leaving him under their watch. :)

Sophie was awesome with our dog Zeus for home visits and dog-walking. She was super attentive to Zeus’s needs and provided constant detailed updates on how he was doing. She helped my husband and I during our wedding weekend, which was so important so we didn’t have the additional stress of worrying about our dog. This allowed us to be present for all of our wedding festivities. We would definitely recommend Sophie!
