1. Ferlyn D.
“Ferlyn did a great job house sitting and taking care of our cat and dog while we were out of town. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
2. Lauryn C.
“Lauryn stayed in our home and cared for our 8 month old, energetic, escape artist beagle for two weeks. She arrived on time, had reviewed our email instructions, and was a responsible and responsive caregiver. Lauryn took our puppy on walks, cleaned up after her, and fed her per our instructions; she also sent several images of our puppy out on their adventures. Our beagle was happy and energetic when we returned home!”
3. Edwina W.
“Edwina was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. It was a relief for us to be able to travel and know that our dogs were being given exceptional care. She sent picture updates and they were happy! I look forward to booking again in the future.”
4. Mick C.
“I highly recommend Mick as a trustworthy and responsible dog walker. On multiple occasions where she has watched my dogs, she was always punctual and attentive to my dog's needs, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and care. Mick's dedication and love for animals are evident in the way she interacts with them. You can always count on her to provide the best care for your furry friends.”
5. Nicole L.
“Nicole was awesome, couldn't have chosen a better sitter for my dog Lulu who is a very shy girly. Communication was good, she stayed at my place even with a power outage and snowstorm and she did a extra cleaning which was a welcome surprise! Will definitely book again when I go out of town!”
6. Sally R.
“Sally was awesome! She was available on short notice, stayed with my two dogs overnight (both of these dogs have some reactive / aggressive problems) and she was great with them!! 10/10 would call her again”
7. Dennis B.
“Dennis was great- he was very attentive to our dog and did a good job with his medication. In particular, we appreciated his prompt communications, and his flexibility. We had to extend by a day due to bad weather, and he was very willing to help us out and was great about responding to messages.”
8. Libby A.
“Libby is an incredibly kind and responsible human. She brightens the day of everyone around her. Never one to let an opportunity to smile or appreciate the moment pass her by, she would be a fantastic dog-walker or dog-sitter. I have known her for 10 years and in that time she has shown herself to be a caring, punctual, and accountable friend and co-worker. Additionally, Libby loves everyone around her and will find the silver lining in situations or living things. She is a true optimist in every respect, and gives people the benefit of the doubt where others would take the easy road and move on. Libby is very passionate about everything she does. As a nurse she is an incredible caregiver. Not only does she solve the patient's medical problems, she also tends to the emotionally by making personal connections in order to make their time in the hospital more enjoyable. I cannot give Libby enough of a glowing recommendation and she would be an excellent companion to the furry friends of the Rover network.”
9. Dana G.
About: I have fostered 2 dogs, have been a dog walker around Boston, and have owned cats. I love getting out on trails with dogs, and snuggling up with cats or teaching them a new trick. I am working part-time and have lots of love to give while not working. If you need an hour-long walk or overnight care please reach out. I love learning about how you keep your animal safe and abiding by those regulations. Keeping your animal in your routine is important to me.
10. Misha P.
“Misha took amazing care of our dog Cochise! It was so reassuring to know that our boy was cared for and loved while we were far away! He gave us plenty of updates with photos, and he also left our house super clean. He was wonderful and we plan to ask him to watch Cochise again next time we go away!”
11. Sierra C.
“Sierra was great about communicating and took wonderful care of my dog and cats. She left my house clean and even washed her linens and remade the bed! I would definitely book her again.”
12. Charlotte M.
“Charlotte is the BEST pet sitter ever! She took incredible care of my pets—my dog Lucy and my cat Levi—while I was away. Lucy got to go on a hike, and Levi was clearly well-loved and looked after. Charlotte was so sweet, respectful, and went above and beyond to make sure my home was spotless when I returned. It was such a relief knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. Thank you for being amazing!”
13. Salar P.
“Salar was great at taking care of our precious little dog. Great communication and punctuality”
14. Julia O.
“Julia is conscientious and very responsible. She clearly loves dogs and she was very flexible to come to our boat for walks. She did a wonderful job and we are very thankful.”
15. Brant D.
About: I enjoy learning a dogs personality and then figuring out how to communicate with each one individually. After they learn to trust you is when the personality shines and the laughter begins. I can be available just about anytime. I am flexible enough that I can meet your needs on any day. I want to build lasting relationships with my customers. I understand the needs of your pet and have the ability to meet those needs as needed. I don't have my dogs anymore but I do have all their things and would be happy to share them if needed.
16. Olivia D.
“Olivia was outstanding & I would have her back any time. She took really good care of my dog.”
17. Bradlee C.
“Bradlee was great with Sophie and the house. He is a responsible young man and I would recommend him to anyone.”
18. Danielle S.
“Danielle has saved us so many times by taking care of our pup! My boyfriend and I both work 12 hour days and have a 15 week old Pomski. It is rare that we have the same days but whenever we do, Danielle is there to help! She was also a big help when we went on a pre existing vacation. She (Danielle) is passionate and such an animal lover! She is so trustworthy to pick our pup up and drop him off at home without us there. She is great with training techniques and very patient with all sorts of critters. She will love and treat your pet like it was her own. I can’t rave enough about Danielle and her passion and patience with animals! And she will always greet you and your pet with a positive attitude and one of the most contagious smiles you will ever see! She loves animals and you will be able to tell from the moment you open the door!”
19. Lisa B.
“If there were a way to give more than 5 stars, we would. When we searched for a sitter for our three dogs for a two week international trip, during which we knew we would have periods with no communications, we wanted to make sure that we found someone that the dogs loved and connected with, and, as importantly, someone that we thought could handle an emergency if one came up. Lisa fit the bill perfectly. Our dogs immediately loved her and we could immediately tell that she would be a great fit for them. She was a great fit for us as well. She understood that we would miss them and sent us great pics which we were able to view when we did have internet service. We had no doubts that she would be able to handle anything that may come up, which is important when you are far away or "off the grid." Again, we simply can't recommend Lisa more. She was great and we will use her exclusively going forward.”
20. Savannah B.
“Savannah is wonderful with my pup! I have a geriatric dog that can be a handful. She is patient, diligent with medications, cares for him well when I am out of town and so respectful with my space!”
