“Lauren was fantastic. Communication was on point and she left my home in amazing shape after staying with my pup for a week!! My neighbors even raved about her. Pup was in a good mood and seemed well cared for, spoiled even. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for most of my life. I raised, trained, and took care of 2 very different dogs of my own starting 7 years ago. One of them is a rescue with his own specific needs and quirks so I am experienced with reactive and nervous dogs. I also have cared for many other people’s dogs. I’ve walked and care of senior dogs and helped with their unique care needs. I am attentive, responsible, and genuinely enjoy building bonds with the animals I care for. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you are away. I am currently a part time retail worker, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule for carrying for your animals. I am available for walks and in home visits everyday of the week, and I am flexible and easy to reach to set up the exact plan for your animals. I am very aware that each and every pet are very different. That’s why I am attentive and detail oriented in order to properly care for your pet in the way that it needs.
About: Right now I have two bunnies at home but my family and friends always have dogs and cats around so I have a lot of experience taking care of both(also bunnies ofc), especially with elder dogs. I'm a very patient and observant person and animals usually LOVE me! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can do drop-in visits anytime during the days, I would prefer dog walking in the afternoon more than the morning but that is totally negotiable! My jobs have been very communication/client based so I intend to bring that same level of care and reliability when looking after pets — making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I will ask you about their personalities and preferences before I meet them. I will start slow to earn their trust. Depending on whether they are energetic or shy, I can adapt to be playful or gentle with them too. During walks, I will prepare waste bags and treats if needed. I will also help clean their paws after a rainy/muddy walk. If your pets have specific toys you want me to play with them, I will make sure they have fun too!
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: Responsible professional missing my family dog and interested in walking or running yours in the mornings or at lunch. I have experience walking many dogs and training puppies with recall, walking without pulling, etc :) I work from home and would love to walk your dog in the mornings or before 12pm. Free for occasional overnight dog sitting as well. I can pick up your dog to walk it! For overnights we can discuss details - either staying in your house or having your puppy in mine.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, even though I didn’t have pets growing up. As soon as I could, I welcomed a sweet cat into my life, and we’ve been together for 3 years. Two years later, I inherited a step dog daughter, and caring for both has taught me so much about patience, play, and the unique needs of different animals. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to give them the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m currently working full-time but have schedule flexibility! Can swing by mornings, afternoons, nights, and weekends. More than happy to accommodate whatever your furry friend needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines — from feeding schedules to playtime and cuddle sessions — so they feel right at home. I provide fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of enrichment, whether that’s interactive toys, gentle brushing, or quiet companionship. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them the attention and affection they deserve.
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.
“Ani was absolutely fantastic. She watched our "zoo" (dog, two cats, two guineas) when we had to leave town fairly quickly. She made a stressed weekend feel much less stressful - she responded quickly to messages, communicated frequently, and gave all our pets a ton of love and attention. Everyone seemed relaxed and happy when we returned home.”

About: *Currently looking for gigs near for July 25-Aug 2nd this month** 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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life. I love dogs and cats of all ages! I’m excited to connect and get to know your pets! I’m happy to work with you and create a schedule that works well for your pet needs. I am flexible with my schedule! We can find a great fit! I assure that the environment is pet friendly and that your pet is my top priority. My house is a quiet and safe place that is great for both humans and pets.
About: From a very young age I have always been around animals. I dog sit my sisters golden retriever for weeks at a time and whenever she needs me. I have watched friends puppies for when they’ve gone on vacation and I have so much fun doing it. I currently have cats at home and they are my everything. In my past, I have also house sat for families with cats and dogs while they were away. I am currently working but have a set schedule for the most part. I am able to work around my schedule to fit the needs of pet owners who need help! This will all depend on the clients preference. I do have a partially fenced yard and live on a quiet side street with a huge yard. I have a house with my husband that had plenty of space for animals to run around if they are indoors.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Boston
Juliana was great and I would rebook with her! She texted and sent pictures every day. My pup and cat seemed to either be relaxed solo, together or being cozy with Juliana. When we got home, the house was very clean and the pets were not stressed or anxious so I could tell they were well loved. I would not hesitate to rebook.

Natalia was so awesome with Gunner today! She arrived early and was so communicative throughout the day, sharing photos and updates so I knew he was thriving. It means so much to be able to leave your dog with someone who cares about them and puts in the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. Thank you so much Natalia!

Alicia watched dog at my home while I was at my wedding, everyone who I usually have watch her was also at my wedding.She was so amazing, It felt so good knowing my dog was in such good hands. She sent so many pup dates and was just absolutely lovely. She stayed at my house and left it so clean and my dog was so happy and loved her so much!

Erin was so great with my dog Frankie!! We booked with Erin for a weekend stay, and she made sure to provide updates and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of! She’s so sweet and Frankie can be high maintenance so I was very happy to find such a great sitter! Would definitely recommend Erin!!

Kristine was AMAZING! She took wonderful care of our dog Tug and left the house in perfect condition. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures and videos each day so we could relax knowing his care schedule was being closely followed and he was happy and comfortable with her. We will definitely be booking Kristine again!

Lauren did an amazing job watching Olive while we were away at our wedding. She made us feel at ease leaving our sweet girl at home. She sent lots of pictures and even made her a flower girl collar. We’re so happy we found her & definitely recommend her for your pup!!

I have a senior dog who presents some special challenges and I have been reluctant to leave him for any length of time. Until I found Rover and Volkan! Volkan stayed at my home for 5 days and made sure that Eddie was well cared for. He kept me posted on each day's progress with photos and texts. I returned to find my home in order and a happy old dog. Thanks Volkan!

Reilly (and partner Jules!) have done drop-in visits before, but they stayed in my home for two days watching my dog and two cats while I was out of town this time. My animals were clearly well taken care of, and they all seemed calm and happy when I returned home! Knowing that Reilly/Jules are taking care of my babies always makes me feel so much less stressed when I'm away. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing dog/ house sitter! Shaun is VERY responsive and reliable; and provides real-time updates with pictures and videos. Apparently there was a coyote near our backyard when our dog was outside and he notified us immediately, picked up our dog and went inside. He's thoughtful, caring and left our house exactly as we left it for the weekend. We will absolutely use Shaun over and over again. We feel lucky to have found him. Thanks again Shaun!

Oxana recently watched my 6-year-old dog Clark at my home for an evening and it was a great experience! Oxana was super communicative about when she would be leaving and arriving, sent plenty of photos of Clark throughout the day, who enjoyed multiple walks and playtime. Clark is a reactive dog so typically needs an experienced pet sitter to watch him and Oxana definitely is that! I would definitely book Oxana again to watch my pup!

Arshneel did a wonderful job looking after our 10lb rescue dog, Bandit! She sent us daily updates, and we felt very safe leaving our home and dog in her care. She really took the time to bond with Bandit and it's clear they became good friends! Highly recommend :)

Devon was wonderful!! We met in advance for her to meet my dog and Luna loved her instantly. She sent me pictures every day of the fun adventures they were on or of them just snuggling on the couch. She stayed at my home with Luna and everything was left clean and organized when I returned. I didn’t have to worry about Luna at all while I was on vacation. Thanks, Devon! Would definitely recommend and use again.
