“A truly 5 star experience. Cameron was easy to communicate with and work with. Just off vibe alone I knew my dog was in good hands when he was picked up. Throughout the day I was consistently updated with photos and videos of my dog out and about. I highly highly recommend Cameron to anyone in need of a dog-sitter. Next time I’m in Boston I will 100% be reaching out to him first. Finn will miss Cameron and Rosie a ton!!! 5 stars!!”

“Anastasia was amazing!! Visiting Boston for my bday Nervous to leave our puppy but she was so incredible with Bella and sent us updates all day! Thank you!”


About: **Please note that there may be a foster dog in the home at the time of your request.** I have had dogs since childhood, and have been a foster at Last Hope K9 rescue organization for the past few years. I have experience training and taking care of senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with medical needs. I am currently working remotely with a very flexible work schedule, so I am able and happy to work my schedule around for the pups in my care. I am always aware and attentive, and maintain a calm and reassuring presence for the dogs. I pride myself in leaving somewhere cleaner than I found it, but love to get down and dirty with the doggies if we’re having fun!
“Elizabeth and her kids took amazing care of Bean! Elizabeth was incredibly accommodating in setting up a space for Bean in her home and truly went above and beyond. She also sent various updates and photos throughout Bean's stay with her. Would definitely recommend!”

“this was our first time using rover—or having someone outside our family watch our newly adopted dog—and lynne helped us have a great first experience. she made us feel comfortable from the get go and, most importantly, our fur baby seemed to enjoy his day with her. we would be thrilled to have her dog sit for us again, and recommend her without reservation to others!”

About: I grew up with 2 Yorkies and bulldogs! I love dogs with my life. Dogs are like family to me. One of my Yorkies (they both live in my hometown) passed away recently due to her age, so I do know how to properly take care of dogs even when it comes to senior dogs or even puppies. I am always available to take care of dogs! I live with my boyfriend who works at home so he is available in case I’m not home. I go to law school so sometimes it does get busy but I’m always happy to take care of a baby (pet)! I take care of pets at my home by providing them a place for them to be able to sleep comfortably and play with their toys. I also think that talking to them calms them down and makes them more comfortable. Dogs are really smart and they do understand rules if you explain it to them!

About: I’ve had dogs in my home for the past 21 years, namely an array of bully breeds both large and small. When I moved abroad in 2023, my English bulldog moved in with my family and I’ve been eager to welcome all of my friends’ dogs into my life and home ever since. I’m often dog-sitting for friends across New England and thought now is as good of a time as any to offer the same support to others! I’m a full-time remote employee with a spacious apartment that happens to have an enclosed deck and located across the street from a sprawling park with dedicated dog areas! I’m a typical millennial woman who is always willing to lend my time and space to some sweet pups. My apartment is dog friendly i.e., they’re welcome in all rooms, on the furniture, and to enjoy the fenced in deck on nice days. I love long walks and therefore long walk companions and maintain a quiet and calm home life.
About: TLDR: WHY ME? - anxiety-free environment: one family’s dog at a time - routine matters: default 3-4 walks a day - stay connected: unlimited updates and photos - safe location: big fenced area in a safe neighborhood - fragrance-free household: no scented detergents MORE ABOUT ME: Hi! I’m Annie — a dental student and lifelong dog lover based in the Boston/Somerville area. I grew up with a corgi (Lulu) and a German Shepherd (Skye), so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’m calm, reliable, and very attentive to routines. I’m comfortable administering medication, following specific feeding or walking instructions, and adjusting care to each dog’s needs — whether that’s a long walk, a slow stroll, or extra cuddles. I study from home most days, which means dogs get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I also have a car and access to a fenced dog park downstairs, making walks and outdoor time easy and safe — rain or shine. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care in Somerville. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority, and I care for every pup as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule and study from home most days, so I’m able to give dogs lots of attention, timely walks, and consistent care throughout the day. I also have a car and love getting outside for walks — rain or shine. I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency in every type of care. I carefully follow all instructions, routines, and preferences, and I’m always attentive to a dog’s comfort and well-being. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel calm, secure, and well cared for, and I’m happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“Jim was a super duper sitter! He was very responsive and was very accommodating to what we needed. A day prior we stopped by for a Meet & Greet to allow our pup to meet Jim for the first time. Then dropped off our 4 month old pup very early in the AM the next day while we went up North until late afternoon. Jim sent a few updates as well as a video throughout the sitting. Overall, very delighted with the experience and the attention he gave our pup, would definitely book Jim again in the future! Thanks!!”

“Nate is a wonder with my pups and super accommodating to me. This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! He sent pictures, and bonded with both of my dogs who are typically skeptical of new people. They felt right at home with Nate and I couldn’t appreciate it more.”

“I'm so glad our dog get to stay with Tran! She's responsive and sends pictures throughout the day. Our pup had a blast with her with the toys she had and the walks she take her on. Really appreciate all the time and effort she put in for our pup. Thank you!!”


“Katie was so amazing with our anxious dachshund Willow. She made time for a meet and greet before her first visit and Willow warmed up to her so quickly (and that is no small feat!)”

East Cambridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
Yunyao went above and beyond during the 4 days of daycare! She made sure the temperature was cool enough, she made Hazy little ice fruit treats, and she sent us multiple updates with photos throughout the day each day. Hazy was so spoiled and could not have been in better hands!

Anastasia is such an amazing pet sitter! She is so sweet and caring and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was happy during her time with her❤️🥰. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We reserved her to take care of our dog while on a trip to Boston and would hope to use her again when we return in the future. She is a lovely person.

We had a great experience with Margaret! She watched Josh for daycare and was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive throughout the day. Josh is still a puppy and can be a lot at times, but she treated him like he was her own and made him feel completely comfortable. I felt very confident leaving him with her and would absolutely book with her again!

I am very happy with Lynn's care of Fiona. Her attentiveness and care for our 9-month-old puppy was evident, and--even more important--Fiona seemed to thoroughly enjoy her day with Lynn (which was long: from 8am to 8pm). A few days before the 'big day' Lynn arranged a 'meet and greet' at a nearby park, and Fiona took to her immediately. So, when it came time for us to leave Fiona in Lynn's care, the transition was seamless, and Fiona went along happily. I will definitely ask Lynn to watch Fiona on my future trips to Cambridge/Somerville.
