“Danielle is amazing! She’s super reliable, communicative, and always keeps us updated with plenty of photos. Theo is always so happy with her, and we come home to a very happy pup every time! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. We’ve had such a great experience with Danielle and will definitely continue using her. Highly recommend!”

“Devon house sat and took care of our dog Riley for ten days. He was very responsible and gave Riley lots of attention and followed his routine. He sent updates and pictures every day and we could see Riley was happy and having fun. The house was in good condition when we got home. We will definitely work with Devon in the future and recommend him highly.”

“Masiel did amazing with Saint! She kept Saint entertained and kept me updated throughout my trip. She also cleaned up a bit before leaving which she did not have to at all. Overall, Masiel was great and I will book her for future dates. Thank you so much, Masiel💗”

“Tam really went above and beyond to care for my Sofie. I had an emergency and had to stay away for longer than expected, and she agreed to extended the booking and took great care of Sofie for me. She even took Sofie to the vet and groomer for me! She was in constant communication, sending updates, photos and overall keeping me in the loop about how things were going at home. I’m very happy I found Tam and grateful for the great work she did with Sofie. Thanks Tam! Hopefully we’ll see you again soon ❤️”

About: I grown up in a household that has always had dogs. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their pets since I was 12. I miss taking care of my parents dog, so I would love to take care of yours! I am active so I would love to take your pet on walks or play in the park. I have a fenced in yard and near plenty of parks, and am very aware of my surroundings inside and outside. I work remotely Wednesday through Friday and can schedule walks or sittings around my job. I am also available weekends at any time if day. Im Amanda, lover of all pets young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, even to a play day at the park. I have a pet friendly apartment and a yard. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy.
“Stephanie was brilliant. She was so trustworthy and caring towards our 3 dogs. One is very sensitive and it was not an easy job. Our dogs were sleeping with her, even though I’d never have expected it. The dogs prefer it. She was so tolerant and diligent. She also communicated with me the entire time. She is fantastic and I give her the highest recommendation.”

“Olha was so sweet! she was proactive and thorough with her updates. She stayed at my home and took great care of the house. I have a cat with health needs and felt completely at ease with her giving him the insulin injections, checking his blood sugar and giving him his inhaler. Will book again!”

About: Hi, I'm Florence! I'm a licensed real estate agent, so I'm used to being trusted with other people's homes. Dogs have been part of my life since I was seven. I fostered many dogs in NYC (and adopted one), fostered in Boston too, and adopted a rescue five years ago. I also regularly look after friends' dogs and cats when they travel. I love house sitting because pets are happiest in their own space with their usual routine. I'll stick to their schedule and send plenty of photo updates. When I house sit, I'll bring in your mail and packages, water your plants, keep things tidy, and watch for anything that needs attention. I have a very flexible schedule both weekly and weekends. I can definitely stay overnight - I understand pets need and like to be home as much as possible. I will keep to your pets’ routine as much as possible. I know that all pets hate their routine to be broken. Each pet is different so I will cater to each pets needs.
“Sydney watched my girls for two weeks and had to deal with an unexpected leak in the apartment while I was gone. She was incredibly professional and had a great attitude, and helped mitigate the issue and took great care of my pets. I would highly recommend her as an in-home sitter!”

About: I've taken care of a variety of different animals from the age of 10! Dogs, cats, chickens, birds, mice, rats, guinea pigs, chameleons, etc. You name it, I probably have taken care of one at some point in my life! I have two kitties of my own and love all animals. I know how stressful boarding animals can be and would love to help reduce your anxiety so you can enjoy your time away from home as much as possible! I work as a PhD student working a typical 9-5 (with a 45 min commute), but I can be flexible during the morning and evenings as long as I have some notice! I'm happy to follow whatever rules you have in your home for your fur baby! Different pets have different needs and am happy to do whatever makes you feel more comfortable!
“Synene is a wonderful sitter! She watched my 11 year-old dog for a few days and stayed over nights. Very responsive and attentive and from the photos, my dog looked like she had a blast. Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter/dog walker. Thank you, Synene!”
“Arshneel was great with our pup!! Ozzy can be a bit shy and slow to warm up but Arshneel went at his pace and made him feel so comfortable!! She sent pictures daily while we were away and left our home in perfect condition!”

“We had a great experience with Rover.com and Volkan -my dog seemed comfortable and happy and I appreciated knowing he was being taken care of. I would definitely hire Volkan again - his communication was great, he was on time, and he was very calm which is a great style for my dog.”


“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!”

“Jun was amazing! I highly recommend her! She watched my dog Toni for 3 days. She went above and beyond with her care and attention, and kept me up to date about everything. Jun has lot of experience with dogs, which is super nice because my dog can be reactive with other dogs. I felt Toni was in very good hands in the care of Jun.”

About: I'm relatively new to dog care, although I've been around them my entire life. At the moment I'm often tapped to walk, check in on, or stay with my girlfriends lab/hound mix who's 10 years old but thinks he's a puppy. What's important to me is that your dog is safe and happy and I pride myself on being communicative (before, during, and after) and paying extra attention to cleanliness. I work full time not far from where I live so nights or weekends are better for me. That being said, my schedule can be flexible and I can make things work during the day if needed! I am a neat freak by nature and will be uber respective of your home/property, making sure to extra clean up after your pet and my presence (of which there should be no trail!). Safety is the number one priority because when you're away you want to be sure your pet is in good hands.

Ray was fantastic with our large golden retriever, Franklin. We were left in a tough spot for a sitter a few days before our vacation and Ray was more than accommodating. Franklin stayed at his beautiful home and they went on multiple walks a day; he even took him to watch a parade! Franklin was very happy and very tired when we returned home. I think he misses Ray!

Cecilia was so wonderful with my cats while I was away for a few days! She took the time ahead of the stay to really get to know them and their tendencies/needs, they immediately felt comfortable in her presence. While I was away I received amazing updates, which made me feel immediately at ease. The cats were so happy and my place was perfect when I arrived home! Will definitely be booking again!
Lauren was perfect to look after my dog. She made sure she understood the complicated medications schedule and extra care my dog needs. Lauren also made sure he was comfortable and happy while we were gone which is so important to us! We came home to a happy pup and a super clean house.

This was the first time we left our skittish rescue dog with a non-family member and it couldn't have gone better. Lindsy came over to meet and get to know our dog Lizzie prior to house-sitting for two nights. Everything went swimmingly between them. Lindsy sent photos and texts throughout the weekend that put our minds totally at ease. We returned to a tidy house and a very content dog. We will definitely book Lindsy again!
Maya was an excellent dog sitter for Clancy! It was clear that Maya wanted to ensure Clancy was comfortable and made sure to follow his routine. She asked plenty of questions to get to understand Clancy’s needs, what he enjoyed to do, and how best for him to interact with other dogs/people. She also provided regular updates to let me know Clancy was having a great day with lots of plays, walks and naps. Clancy and I would highly recommend Maya for anyone who is looking for a sitter.

Juliana was a wonderful companion to my fifteen-year old lab for an over two-week stay while I was out of the country. She capably grasped Piper's needs and provided the caring attention (if not vigorous exercise) required to make Piper feel at ease during my absence. Daily texts and photos kept me in the loop on all doggie doings. She was a highly responsible house guest as well. Cannot overstate how grateful I am for Juliana, her conscientiousness and warmth!

Having Brook watch my dogs was such a relief! She took great care of them while I was away. She was great at communicating, giving updates, playing with them, and taking them on walks. The dogs seemed very happy to hang out with her! Would recommend Brook to anyone in the Boston area looking for a dog sitter!

Macklyne was a wonderful sitter! She was very considerate, gentle, and patient with Cooper, who is a shy dog. She followed all the instructions I provided, took him on multiple walks, made sure he had plenty of playtime, and sent frequent updates, which I really appreciated. She also left my house absolutely impeccable! By the end of her stay, Cooper had really warmed up to her, which says a lot. She is someone I would absolutely trust to care for Cooper again, and I look forward to having her sit for him in the future. I’m very happy with her service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and responsible sitter!

Sasha was so wonderful with our senior girl! Even though our pup was a little shy and anxious at the beginning of the stay, she quickly warmed up to Sasha, who was so sweet and patient with her. Sasha gave us tons of updates and photos and left the house in great shape! Highly recommended!
