“We know our cats and house are in good hands with Kyle. He’s always on time for visits and gives meaningful updates, which are important to us because one of our cats needs medication on a regular schedule.”

About: I’ve had a pup for as long as I can remember, and LOVE training dogs. I was able to learn the basics from my mom, who happens to be an agility dog trainer! Big or small, I love all pups. Can’t wait to meet yours! I am typically available weekends, and have a varied schedule during the week. I work from home Monday and Tuesday, and would be able to tend to your pet most consistently those days. I have a dog run area, and enough space for a crate if you provide one. I work from home Monday and Tuesday, so if your pup gets nervous I’ll be spending a lot of time with them!

About: Hi everyone! My name is Marina, I am 23 years old and currently in graduate school for my masters in nursing. I grew up with two loving dogs in my home, including a very sweet black lab named Riley who passed at the age of 16 this past march, and a very energetic Australian Shepard named Flora, who is a 5 year old pandemic puppy. I have always loved taking my dogs and the dogs of friends on long walks and hikes. I am extremely loving and patient with all dogs and am comfortable with all energy levels, from a senior who needs a slower walk with lots of stops to an active dog that wants to play and run. I prioritize the safety, comfort, and happiness of all dogs and will ensure that your dog is well taken care of and well supervised when in my care. Please reach out if you have any questions! I’d love to chat! I am a student running on a 6 week class and clinical schedule so my schedule changes about every 6 weeks. I currently have lots of mid week morning and afternoon availability. I am overall flexibility with my schedule and know my available dates far out in advance. I can schedule consistent care, or just an occasional walk / drop -in I always keep my dogs on leashes when walking. I am very patient and allow them to take their time to sniff and enjoy their walk. I am very carful to ensure dogs do not consume or run into anything that could be harmful to their health! Their Saftey and well being is my priority. Riley, my senior dog, needed various medications towards the end of his life, so I am comfortable with administering pills with dog food. I ensure to walk dogs in a dog friendly environment and do my best to get to green space that they can enjoy while on their walks. I will work hard to meet your dogs unique needs and ensure they are safe and happy when in my care

“Michaela was wonderful as always! We had an issue with entrance to our apartment and she waited extra time until it was resolved to made sure our puppy was brought outside, fed, and played with. It is clear that she truly cares about Winston’s well-being, and we are very happy to have such a caring sitter watch him for us. Would recommend Michaela to anyone who is in search of a reliable sitter!”

“Steve provided great care for our two cats during the holidays and was very communicative. We definitely recommend their services and will book again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home ever since I was a kid, caring for them at every stage of life. Our most recent family dog lived for 15 years, and I was actively involved in feeding, walking, bathing, and providing companionship. Over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to look after their pets, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I’m currently available full-time, so your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I offer flexible availability for boarding, walks, and check-ins, including weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard, providing a safe and secure space for dogs to play. Plus, I live near multiple dog parks that I can easily walk to for extra exercise and socialization. My home is pet-friendly, and I can accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free environment for your pup.

About: Hi there! I’m Melissa, originally from the Boston area and I service in and around Boston. I’ve been working with Rover for over 6 years and have more than 12 years of experience in pet care overall. I offer dog sitting, walking, and drop-in visits, and I’ve cared for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—so I’m well-prepared for just about any situation. I also offer services to cats 🐱 I grew up with two Staffordshire Bull Terriers and often helped care for neighbors’ pets. During school breaks, I volunteered at my local animal shelter, gaining even more hands-on experience with dogs and cats alike. I’m also comfortable caring for cats and have pet-sat for many feline friends over the years. Above all, I’m a true animal lover. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and treat every one of them like my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I have a flexible schedule and availability. Currently available Monday-Sunday for services. Please let me know your schedule and prospective days you will be needing services. Cancellations are allowed up to 24hrs beforehand. Depends on what the particular pet needs. Typically I like to meet the pet first, especially if it will be a reoccurring visit. I would like them to be comfortable with me by the time I arrive to care for them. As well as I asked clients on the type of home they may have just to understand the environment better. If the client is comfortable, I’m also open to visiting their home before a house sit so I can get a better idea of the environment I will be taking care of the pet.

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including multiple senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. My entire family has had, or currently has dogs, so I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my entire life! In the past, I've trained my own dog to sit, lay down, shake, and even dance—so I know how much time, love, and patience pets need. I also understand how important it is to find a sitter you can truly trust. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, giving them attention, affection, and reliable care. My wife and I dream of one day owning a personal farm where we can give even more animals a loving home. Until then, I’m here to provide your pets with the next best thing—a safe, happy, and caring environment. I'm a musician, so my schedule is a bit more flexible and less traditional—which works perfectly for giving your pet the care they need, even on short notice. I'm most available during the day, but I understand that things can change quickly in life, so I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests too. Whether it's a quick walk or some quality time while you're away, I’m here to help keep your pet happy and comfortable! When I found my dog, Rhythm, in college, she quickly became my best friend and my whole world. From the start, I felt a deep responsibility to keep her safe—like I was the only one who truly could. That experience taught me how important trust is when it comes to our pets. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, which is why I prioritize safety and care above all else. Every pet is different and deserves personalized attention, and I’m committed to making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: Hi! I’m so excited to care for your pup! I’ve loved animals from young age and always been the go-to with my friends and family to dog or cat sit while they were away. I’m a dog mom now and truly know how our pets are our family, and want to treat yours the same loving way I treat my little girl. I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule available to walk, drop by and play, or whatever else is needed! I would love to get to be your pup’s second favorite human! I treat my pup like my child! I will always keep the attention on your pet and keep mine separate and not on the same walk or bring her around your pet for safety and to stay attentive to your pets needs

“Thank you so much! We really appreciate it. Hannah was great with our pup Charlie we highly recommend her!”

“Cecilia was amazing with Rusty & Ronnie. She was very attentive when it came to feeding, sending us funny pictures while away, & gaining the trust of our shy cat!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, therefore I’ve had plenty of experience caring for them. Additionally, my family loves dogs, we love to have them in our home, and have a fenced yard where if weather permits they can play outside and burn off some energy. I’m currently working remotely, so have a pretty flexible schedule for walks during the day. Usual hours are from 9-5 pm, but like stated before, have the flexibility for walks since I work from home I have a fenced yard, I work from home so I would be great company for your pet. If needed I can crate your dog, take them out for walks during the day and entertain.

About: As someone who grew up with dogs and who has been taking care of them since I was 7, I love dogsitting! Not only am I a huge dog lover but I also love being able to help others know their dog is safe and happy with me while they are busy or away. I provide top notch care for pups of all ages and breeds (including lots of cuddles!) and I make sure they are happy and comfortable during their time with me. I'm about to start my first year of law school at Suffolk University, so this summer I am available weekends and weekdays! By and large I am able to be with your pet most of the time if you book boarding in your home, and I have a wide open schedule for walks and drop in visits! I have a safe and cozy apartment, and no food or chemicals are dog accessible. I have one roommate that also loves dogs and is always happy to contribute to cuddles with the pups!

“Judy was extremely attentive and prompt. She did a wonderful job of keeping us updated through messages and pictures! Our cat seemed to really enjoy her company and all the attention she gave him. Would highly recommend Judy and we will be using her in the future!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—growing up with family pets and regularly dog-sitting for neighbors—so working with dogs feels like second nature to me. I currently have a 7-year-old Dutch Shepherd with some leash reactivity, so I understand the importance of patience, awareness, and consistent handling during walks. I’m experienced with prong collars and have worked with professional trainers to reinforce positive behaviors. I’m confident and comfortable around dogs of all sizes, including strong, high-energy breeds, and I always prioritize safety, exercise, and enrichment on every walk. I am available anytime on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays! Other days don’t work well for my schedule. I’m can likely be available on short notice (: Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of how I care for pets—whether in my home or yours. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, low-stress care. In a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your pet’s familiar environment, which helps reduce anxiety. I follow all feeding, medication, and walking instructions closely and keep a close eye on behavior changes. In my own home, I provide a quiet, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision. With my background as a wildlife biologist and experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, safety and trust are always my top priorities.
