About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they are away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with specific routines or needs. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-exercised. I treat every pet like they are part of my own family and always prioritize their comfort, happiness, and safety. I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I can often accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day. I enjoy spending time with animals, going on walks, and making sure they get the attention and exercise they need while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions from pet owners, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care needs. I always make sure pets are secure on walks and comfortable in their home environment. I’m attentive, responsible, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I provide lots of love, attention, and updates so owners feel confident their pets are being well cared for.
“Mikaela did a great job watching our dogs. She provided lots of photos and videos of them playing in the yard and going for walks. She was very responsive and communicated well. Pups were happy when we returned. She also cleaned the sheets and towels she used which was very helpful.”

About: I have 12 years of hands-on pet care experience. I raised my cat from 6 months old and have successfully managed his weight, kept him active, and maintained his dental health through regular teeth brushing. I also care for my 4-year-old Shiba Inu, a breed known for being energetic and independent, which has taught me patience through consistent training, and attentive daily care. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I am committed to keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I am currently between jobs so my schedule is flexible to walk and play with your fur babies. I prefer weekdays but can be flexible to match your needs with my schedule I manage my pets diets, feeding schedules, dental care and regularly walk my dog. I am open to discuss how I can best care for your fur babies.
About: Ive always had a great love and passion for animals! I grew up on a farm in southern california and from a young age all the way up till i left my family home I took care of dogs, cows, horses etc! I think my favorite part of all from farming was grooming, and shining the animals; and above all, making sure they were well loved, fed, and taken care of! I was very blessed to have the opportunity to be able to grow up like this and learn so many important skills. I do currently work part time as a server. I am currently in college as well, but I am flexible, through some mornings, some afternoons and some full days! Our family house does not have a very large yard, but we do live in a suburban area where there are lots of nearby parks and hills for walking.
About: Hi! I’m Rose, a reliable and caring animal lover based in the Quincy area. I have 4 cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with daily pet care routines and giving animals lots of attention and love. We also had a 15-year-old Shih Tzu who passed away in 2022 and over the past year I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for rover clients. I am currently taking the year off from teaching so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week! I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks, and can be accommodating with last-minute requests when needed. I will be actively engaging with your fur baby! I love taking them on walks and to parks depending on their needs! I will make sure to follow your instructions on their feeding schedule to keep a controlled diet
About: I love dogs, they each have unique personalities. I do understand that our pets are very special and deserve great care. I am prompt and I will communicate with you. Recently I have dog sat and dog walked a pair of Samoyed a pair of dogs quite often. They love watching me cook. They can sit, stay, and give paw. Very routine and food driven. Great with kids and gentle. I have availability all day every other weekend and Tuesday and Thursday nights. I love dog walking, being outdoors. If your dog does well with children my availability is more open. I will feed them, give them water, give their medications, take for walks, and monitor to make sure they are not destructive of any items. Also I give very good pet cuddles.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for years now. Growing up I begged my parents for a dog and when I finally got one he became my full responsibility. I have paid for all his needs and took full care of him. Now I am at school I miss my best friend and will treat your dog with the same love I did mine! I also have experience with all different breeds of dogs because I would walk many dogs in my small town outside of Boston. Your dog will in great hands! I like to follow a strict schedule. Since I am in school I need to work around my school schedule, yet that won’t be a problem due to its simplicity. If I were to take care of your dog I would • feed them early morning • go on a walk after being fed (typically I’ll go on a walk or take them to a dog park depending on if they get along with other dogs) • let them rest and in the evening follow the same schedule I typically take the dogs I take care of on long walks because I don’t want them getting hyper during the day or have to go to the bathroom. I will give your dog loving care and treatment. Whatever schedule they are used to I can work with. I am a very flexible person and want your dog to have the best experience!
“Adriana was great. It was our first time leaving our pup so we were a little anxious. Our dog had recently hurt her leg and Adriana made sure she had her medicine twice per day and made sure she didn’t go to crazy in the yard. Would definitely go through Adriana again.”

About: Hello! I am a recent Wellesley College graduate but I come from a big family in Austin, Texas. I've looked after dogs, cats, plants, and plenty of farm animals. I adore animals and have two dogs of my own back home. I have great communication and I am willing to send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. I read and respond to signals that animals give attentively so your pets will be in great hands! I am looking forward to caring for your homes and pets. I am currently looking for jobs before starting grad school in the fall. I babysit occasionally, but I am often not away for more than 3-5 hours. My home is currently being renovated so I will not be hosting any pets there at the moment. I am happy to consider in home pet care after renovations are finished.
“Amanda was able to step up when our other Rover sitter had to cancel last minute. She was 100% professional, and went above and beyond shoveling our driveway after a snowstorm during her stay. Stella was in great hands. We strongly recommend Amanda.”
About: Hi! My names Jaden and I have a puppy named Medusa! I trained her myself and she’s very well behaved and loves people and dogs! I have years of experience will all sorts of pets such as dogs/puppies, fish/corals, and even some experience with cats, though admittedly, not as much. I’m a plant collector too so I can also help care for those, if needed ☺️ I’m currently working a full time job, so pet care will most often be scheduled for before and after my shifts, but also on my days off! I have a crate trained my puppy in our apartment. we have a small fenced patio perfect for getting a little fresh air without worrying about escape!
East Boston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sophia was awesome! She house sat for us for two days (not overnight but back to back) because my parents were coming in from out of town and we would be gone all day. On the second day, my girls, especially Pepper was so happy to see her! Sophia was very much on time on both days and for the Meet and Greet. I’m so happy it worked out for us!

Kora watched my dog for a week and a half and was very communicative and respectful of my home. I got lots of pictures and was not afraid to reach out to ask me questions if she was unsure about anything. I felt very comfortable having her watch my dog, even with this being a longer stay.

Alicia was absolutely fantastic and outstanding! She took the time to meet Doxy and Sammie and was very comprehensive in reviewing all their routine needs and habits. She bonded very well with our dogs and sent us photos that made us smile, being reassured that they were in great hands. When I returned home, the dogs were very relaxed and happy. We are so thankful and appreciative to have Alicia’s help with dog sitting and highly recommend her without any reservations. She is truly the best! Thank you so much, Alicia, for taking great care of Doxy and Sammie!

Victoria, as always, did an amazing job with my grumpy 14 year old cat who needs medication. Victoria is kind, respectful, responsive, and my cats love her! I would recommend Victoria to anyone and everyone who needs someone to take care of their furry companions.

Ian's dog sitting was excellent. He is really knowledgeable on dog behavior, and he's highly personable. My dog, Sully, loved him right away. Ian followed all my instructions and kept me updated as I requested. He also gave Sully lots of love, attention, and companionship-- ultimately going above and beyond regular dog sitting duties. He is my sitter again anytime for Sully in the future.

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Benny! Nicoletta made us feel comfortable right away — it was obvious she’s experienced with high-energy dogs and truly loves spending time with them. She was super communicative, sent amazing updates, gave Benny so much love and attention, and was incredibly respectful of our home. Everything was spotless when we got back. Benny definitely made a new bestie, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again!
