“Jenin was an amazing cat sitter! They clearly care about getting to know your pet and provided really detailed and sweet updates + photos that made us feel good about our cat while we were gone. She was really communicative and flexible - would highly recommend!”

“Erin was great. Our cats loved her and she was able to get them to come out and play which was great because our kitten can be a little shy sometimes. 100% having her back.”

About: I have had one dog in the past. Her name is Gigi and she is a golden doodle. She is an extremely active dog who keeps me active 24/7. She loves to cuddle and play and is so caring with people and other animals. The most unique characteristic about Gigi is that she has been obedient since the day we got her. Her training was so simple and easy to do. Training her was so easygoing that I learned enough to train my best friends dog Mia. I think having such a sweet puppy like Gigi made it even more fun to care and train for dogs. I trained Gigi and Mia to be able to remain calm in stressful/overstimulating moments, they are both well skilled in recognizing hand and verbal signals. Both are well behaved when hey are not wearing a leash and also very well in controlling impulsive behavior. I currently work full time so I am available in the afternoons. I am off by 5pm. I am available every weekend, all day. I do plan on having a more flexible schedule in the next 2 months. I personally do not have any pets at the moment. I have had 1 pet in the past and have been trusted by a few friends to care after their pets. I always ask the owner the basic information I need regarding their pets and do my best to ensure a fun and safe environment for all animals!

About: I’ve always loved animals and have extensive experience pet sitting for friends, including both dogs and cats of different ages and sizes. I enjoy spending time playing with them, going on walks, and making sure they feel cared for, and I’m happy to send cute photo updates while you’re away! Note: I work in office 8hrs/day for 5 days a week, so unfortunately I will only be able to accommodate for pets that will be able to be alone during those time I currently work full time with a mix of in office and WFH. I’m typically in office on Tuesday-Thursdays between 8am-5pm. I typically take the doggies out on 30 min walks in the morning and a longer walk after work. I live in a two level apartment. The area I live in is a relatively quiet neighborhood with a couple of dog parks nearby. I do have a cat at home, but the cat can be easily separated into her own space. When caring for pets in clients homes, I am great at following instructions to ensure the pet is well cared for.
“Nathan was fantastic! I was concerned because my dog has some separation anxiety and we weren’t sure how she would do, but Nathan’s visits, updates and photos truly put me at ease. He took her to hang out with some of his regular dogs he works with and she did great and had fun. I will DEFINITELY be reaching out to Nathan again in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone else in the area. Thank you, Nathan!”

“Can not recommend Yeji enough! My cat Peanut is incredibly shy and Yeji did an amazing job making her feel comfortable. You can tell she was well taken care of from the cute pictures in her Rover card! Yeji is thorough and trustworthy, super communicative, made an extra effort to keep my apartment tidy, and made Peanut feel loved even while I was away for a full week in another country!”

“Luke took SUCH GOOD care of my puppy! He asked me about any triggers for her and was so thoughtful! I am picky when it comes to my baby lol and he met us beforehand and I felt very comfortable having him take care of my girl. I seriously recommended!!!”

“Erika was so helpful when we were in a pinch with our dog, Billie. She came to the apartment to meet her beforehand and was so loving to our very nervous dog. I would absolutely recommend Erika and will definitely be booking her again!!”

“Stacy was a fantastic cat sitter! She took excellent care of our special needs kitty, who needs multiple pills and special food. I could tell from photos that our cat became quite comfortable with her and got plenty of play and attention while we were away. Stacy was also very neat and responsive, which I really appreciated. We would absolutely book with her again in the future!”

I am currently a student here in Boston looking to make some extra cash. My availability is set for the afternoon but i can fit walls in between classes or in the mornings.

“Joselio and his fiancé are incredible!! They are great with communication, timeliness, and pet care. I had specific care tasks for my cat, Mica, and they took the time to listen and understand what Mica needed and how to do it. They send me adorable photos of Mica and gave her active play time as well as relaxing companionship. I could not be happier!! Thank you so much to Joselio and his fiancé!!”

Our household includes two middle school aged kids who love to have dog visitors and are sensitive to their needs, from lots of play, and attention, to helping with walks, to allowing a quiet cozy space to rest. I have a flexible schedule and am often home. I can typically accommodate walks with advance notice and sometimes the day of. Please get in touch with boarding requests.

Macklyne is a very kind soul! My dog felt comfortable with Macklyne from the moment with met Macklyne, which made me feel so confident. I knew Luna would be in good hands while I was gone, which was definitely the case. Macklyne kept me informed the whole time, which was a bonus.

This was my very first experience using Rover, and I’m so glad I chose Rachel! She is incredibly responsible, kind, and sweet. She kept me updated throughout my trip with regular messages and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pet was in such good hands. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. She was absolutely the best!

Ashley was so great with my kitty! She was so kind and went above and beyond . She was very communicative and kept me in the loop with when she was planning on visiting each day. I felt very at ease during my time away , and came back to a happy and healthy kitty. Would 100% recommend!!
