“Darby was really, really great house sitting for us and watching our pup Milah!! She sent pictures multiple times through the day, made sure Milah had enough activity, followed the care/feeding schedule well, and in general just made us feel good about stealing away for the weekend and leaving our pup at home. Would definitely use Darby again!”

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’ve had two cats for the past 4 years and have pet sat for friends and family when they’ve needed help. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow whatever routine and instructions help you and your pet feel most comfortable. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I work full-time (6am-2pm) as a scientist, so I’m generally available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My schedule can be flexible though to accommodate for early morning visits. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they need before accepting a booking. I use Rover myself so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable until you’re back. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

“We loved Skylar! She was friendly and playful with our puppy while providing frequent potty breaks to prevent accidents in the house during his potty training experience. Would definitely use her again!”

“Alice is a wonderful puppy sitter and took great care of our golden puppy. There was exceptional communication throughout the entire process, she was very kind and accommodating, and we knew our pup was in good hands with her. We would love to work with her again in future and would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Anna took wonderful care of our puppy Semmie while we were away. She was clearly attentive and gentle with her. Semmie was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for the whole time. Anna also communicated really well throughout, and she even took the initiative to come by beforehand to meet Semmie and get to know her before the sit started, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s obvious Anna genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We felt completely at ease knowing Semmie was in such good hands, and we’ll definitely be booking Anna again for future pet sitting!”

About: I grew up with dogs since I was 5 years old, from chihuahuas to german shepherds. I am very experienced and comfortable with most breeds. I have given care to puppies and senior dogs from administering medication to puppy training. I also volunteer with a dog rescue and have helped them find their forever homes so I know what a dog needs and deserves ! Currently working part time, allows me the freedom and more flexibility to spend time with your dog! I am available every weekday and on select times on the weekends if you need me. I live in an apartment with my two dog friendly cats. The apartment building has double locked doors so they can’t easily escape. My building is also down the street from the beautiful harbor walk and 5 minute walk away from the dog park. I can provide them with the necessary exercise and enrichment activities!
“Jess was the best Dogsitter I’ve ever had the luck of booking. She was available pretty last minute, was super responsive and available every time I asked her anything. She took fantastic care of my two big dogs while I was off for the weekend getting married! Jess managed everything on her own, she tired them out every day and patiently fed them even though Kayla’s a picky eater. Throughout I was too busy to pay attention to our chats but she still sent all kinds of pictures and updates. Really couldn’t recommend Jess more!!!”

About: I worked at a humane society and worked with many dogs of all sizes and breeds. Helped to socialize them; took them for walks/hikes, went for car rides, got them comfortable being outdoors. I also dog sat for friends and family throughout the years. Very comfortable with giving medications and taking care of special needs dogs (grew up with a dog that required seizure medication and had frequent seizures). As a college student I have a fairly flexible schedule. My weekends are completely free and I have more than a couple hours free during the weekday in the mornings and evenings (as well as some time during the middle of the day if I’m not in class). I grew up in a home where dogs were family members. We were very comfortable with them being indoor and outdoor pets. We would go for hikes, walks/runs (was fairly active to help the dogs release their energy) and would also relax together indoors. Will crate as needed for dog and family comfort or will just hang out on a sofa and read a book for company for the pet. Since I’m used to caring for a high maintenance dog that required special attention, I can clean up accidents and administer medications if needed (with lots of approved treats)
“Brianna has become a great support system, I can’t thank her enough!! I feel at such an ease when leaving Coco and Muffin with her for house sitting. Highly recommend her services.”

“My cats loved Maddie! She did a great job of sending us updates and taking care of them when we were out on vacation. They are typically very shy but they warmed up to her very easily. She maintained our place really well in our absence.”

“Alexander was excellent with our highly energetic coonhound puppy! We came home to a very happy dog. He left our house extremely clean and updated us often with pictures of her on walks and snoozing. We'll definitely have him again!”

About: I have been a dog owner my entire life and come from a family of animal lovers. I have worked with my own dogs to train them and to build trust and understanding, and am comfortable adapting my approach to fit the animal’s needs and the preferences of the pet’s family! I’m committed to competent care-taking informed by the animal’s needs. My experience: Worked as a pet sitter for the dogs, cats, and small animals like guinea pigs and hamsters of family friends for about 3 years; Volunteered as a caretaker for birds at the Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center for 1 year; Acted as a foster family for a dalmation/whippet mix for 2 months; Have been a dog-walker and pet-sitter with Rover since 2020. I’m happy to schedule visits and walks on certain weekdays and any weekend. I’m able to work remotely, but will need to plan around, which is why I request at least 3 days notice for any booking or change of plans. I am a big fan or midday and evening walks, and would be happy to have an animal companion with me for them! My approach is to create a stable routine and clear boundaries for any pets in my care. I am adaptable for what the space demands and based on the animal’s familiarity with a situation, for example being in a new space versus being in their primary home. I am cautious and considerate about the disposition of the pet I’m in charge of, so I will always try to avoid putting them in a situation they are not comfortable with or that has too many variables for me to respond to safely.
“Spencer was a godsend! He house sat my anxious, reactive dog Java for 4 days while I was on vacation. He was punctual and incredibly flexible. He sent regular updates, followed my care instructions perfectly, was patient as my dog warmed up to him. I would call Spencer again for any future sitting needs!”

“Hi - Camille took care of our wonderful yellow lab, Ollie, and our house for a long weekend. She was amazing and I look forward to working with her again. She kept us well informed about what was happening, and when we had a question, she quickly got back in touch. She is another member of this wonderful Rover.com family. I am so happy that we found you all and Camille. Thank you, Tom”


“It was so great having Alexis take care of our 5-month-old puppy for the weekend. She had tons of experience and he was in great hands. She kept him on a great schedule with lots of fun, play, and walks and sent updates and pictures morning and evening. He loved her. She also left the house in perfect condition. We would definitely love to hire her again.”

“Cidra was incredible! She was very sweet to our lil pup! She sent amazing photos, helped keep our house clean, & took great care of our dog! Would book her again!”

The median cost per night for house sitting in East Cambridge is $60

We chose James based on his glowing reviews and let me just say, I am SO glad we did. I wish there was an option to give 10 stars. We have 2 very different dogs. One is very quirky and James was not only willing, but seemed excited to play bubbles, the hose, and even late night beach ball with him. He sent us great updates, photos and videos, some so funny that I have rewatched them too many times. This was the first time I came home and genuinely worried my dog would miss James and want him over me lol. He left our house spotless, took great care of everything around the house. Even was flexible enough to leave in the early morning hours because we came in on a red eye. He is the BEST. Anyone is lucky to have him as a dog sitter. Brady and Winston miss him already.
Valeria took great care of my Dobby while also house sitting! She sent me regular updates on his eating and walks and even cuddled with him at night 🥹 She also left everything tidy for our return. Overall super great experience and I will happily have her take care of Dobby again. Thanks Vale!

Danielle did a great job caring for our elderly dog and our kitten while we went away on vacation. She even administered medication to our little cat when he came down with an infection before our trip. We always felt like our best friends were in caring hands. Thank you, Danielle!
Danielle did a fantastic job taking care of my dogs while I was away for a couple days. She had great communication, keeping me updated with how they were doing/ what was going on and included great pictures of the dogs! Danielle is very trustworthy and I’m extremely grateful that everything went smooth. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

We loved Jia! I have two labs, 8 and 13, with very different needs. Jia was great and took wonderful care of them. When we got home from our trip, our dogs looked a little disappointed to see us (which is how I know they've had a good time). Jia was super thoughtful about their care, sent regular updates, and made me feel completely at ease about being away from my dogs. Definitely will be asking her to watch after our pups again. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Juliana watched our dog and cat for a week, and her conscientiousness, anticipation of their needs, and excellent communication really stood out. Our beloved companions were safe, clearly well-loved, and kept happy and stimulated while we were away. She also took wonderful care of our home—everything was left exactly as we found it, if not better. We had complete confidence in Juliana and would absolutely have her stay with them again. Thank you, Juliana!

We recently left our 10 month old puppy with Noelle for a week. She did a fantastic job! Such consistent communication, she clearly had such fun with our dog and made her so happy, and we came home to a spotless home and a very happy puppy! We would hire her again in a heartbeat!
