About: My partner (Henry) and I love to watch dogs together! We have been surrounded by dogs our whole lives, from small picky eaters to large dogs that can run for miles. Growing up around dogs, we know that they are all different and respond to new people differently, but we have had positive experiences in taking care of family’s, neighbors’, and friends’ dogs in the past and have a ton of energy to do so. We love spending time outside and with dogs and have dog-sat before, including experiences wherein we did not stay in the owners’ home, but visited frequently to walk and feed their dog, and we have dog sat in our own home, so we are comfortable with adapting our services to any of your needs. We both have hybrid work situations, so one of us is always working from home at any given time and are used to being flexible with a pet’s schedule. We take care of pets like they are our own, in the past when we have boarded dogs in our home we have adapted to what the pet is and is not allowed to do (ie sleeping in the bedroom or not etc.)
About: As a student studying veterinary medicine, I feel confident in my abilities to provide the best care for your animal. My passion for animals started at a very young age and led me to start my own pet sitting business at 12 years old. I enforced my husbandry knowledge in college by volunteering at the MSPCA Animal Shelter and Clinic and the New England Animal Hospital. This taught me the best care for animals of all ages and health statuses including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, birds, and rodents. I am Fear Free certified which is a course that emphasizes the best ways to interact with and treat animals to reduce anxiety and stress. Additionally, I am well experienced with administering medications if needed. As a student, I have fewer commitments when I am home for break which is perfect for pet parents looking for frequent or long visits and vacation pet care. I will unfortunately not be able to provide routine visits during the times I am at school but I return home for months at a time during the winter and summer. When you love what you do like me, visits with your pets are long and thoughtful every time. Though I cannot house your pets in my home due to my own senior cat, I can assure that I will make my visits at your home count.
About: Apart from living with dogs my entire life, I've also pet sitted for several families on multiple occasions, and have volunteered as a dog walker at local shelters since I was in elementary school. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including my own parents insane border collie in New York, who loves the dog park to the point of unsettling passion and will never take a walk without scaling the forest floor like spiderman. I am currently work part-time and am a full-time graduate student. Fortunately, all of my academic obligations at this time are remote, so I'm quite flexible! Safety was always a huge part of my pet experience growing up, as many of my dogs and cats loved to defend our property or escape into the woods. From entering and exiting the home to walking, I am extremely cautious, always double-checking and never walking without a leash.
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 am a trained veterinary assistant and Harvard graduate with two cats and 5+ years of experience in professional animal care. I would love to care for your pet! I work from home and have a very unlimited schedule! All I need is a few days advance notice and I will be able to care for your pet.

“Erika did a great job checking in on my cat, Olly, while I was away! And I’m super appreciative she took this on relatively short notice (less than a week). Thank you for giving him some TLC! Will definitely request Erika next time I’m away. Thank you!”

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.

About: Hi, I’m Sam! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years and have had 2 of my own prior to college, so I know firsthand how much they mean to the family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight sitting, I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs. Animals bring me so much joy, and I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. From energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, I’m here to give them the attention they deserve. I am a recent college grad who will be able to work until July 1. I have a lot of open availability so please feel free to message me for more specific times. In my home they’ll get plenty of love, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. If I’m caring for your pet at your place, I’ll follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, and snuggles. I’ll keep things clean, give them all the attention they need, and send you updates and pictures so you know they’re happy and cared for.
About: We are a family of 5 (7 year old, 4 year old, 2 year old) who love animals and pets but are not ready to have one of our own. Both parents have grown up with dogs and cats and the kids are around their cousins dogs constantly! We would love to sit for your pet and give them much love and attention :) We work remote many days of the week and are home most weekends so we would love to have a house guest to play with! Fenced in yard, 3 friendly gentle kids and a house full of love! We are very doting and love long walks with your furry friend
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!
About: Hello and welcome to my profile. My name is Monica and I am the proud fur-mom to a 3 year old golden named Mango. I am on rover to help with the needs of pet care as I know it can be quite expensive these days and am looking for something to do in my free time. I currently work at an Animal Hosptial, looking to expand my time with animals. I have 7 years of animal care, including 4 of those years working at a doggie daycare/kennel environment which has allowed me to understand dogs better, and how their body language/behavior is when it comes to being in a kennel environment and in a home environment. My dog Mango and I love to go on walks whether it’s to her favorite swimming area, or just in a field to run around and play ball. We are always out walking no matter the weather! I have experience taking care of animals ranging from puppies all the way to seniors. I have experience doing medications as well for both cats and dogs. I would love to help be a pet sitter for your wonderful fur babies. Don’t hesitate to reach out 😊 Always can fit in time to take your furbaby on a walk if they are energetic, or sit at home and give them attention if they are a homebody. Always love playing ball and being outside no matter the weather. For my own home I do not have a fenced in yard but my golden has a electric fence that she has been trained on to stay in the area when we are outside playing, or just enjoying the weather. If a fenced in yard is something you don’t have, I am always willing to find a quiet dog area to let your pup run, or even be able to take on a nice long walk to burn out their energy

Having someone experienced with giving cats inhalers was the most important thing, and Liz handled it perfectly. This was by far the easiest time leaving the cats alone for me: I trusted Liz completely. Super caring and devoted to making sure our cats had the best time.

Rachel was an amazing pet sitter! She left really thorough post-visit notes and many pictures which was greatly appreciated. She went above and beyond making sure our cat was taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend Rachel and we will definitely be booking with her again!
