“Solaima was fantastic with taking care of our two older cats while we were away, and we really appreciated how careful and thoughtful she was about the needs of our particularly anxious boy! Looking forward to having her help with them in the future :)”

“Arianna was truly remarkable. She kept us informed on a daily basis with photos and made us feel at ease. We knew our three cats Miss Cleo, Gracie and Hedy were in good hands. Her love for our cats really made us so happy and for this we are truly grateful. Arianna is a treasure.”

“Sara was fantastic with Olivia! Sara provided details each visit and Olivia slowly warmed up. Glad everything went well, thank you very much!! I would use Sara again and recommend her to others!”

“Emily was excellent and took great care of my fur babies. She had lots of experience and communicated very clearly making scheduling super simple and easy. I would highly recommend her.”

“Our cats are not the easiest, nor the friendliest of guys and they really loved their visits from Steve whilst we were away. Kept us up to date with their eating and litter box habits as well. They will definitely be our go to when we're next away!”

“Annaliese was great! She was on time for each visit to check on and give some attention and let's to our 4 cats. It was a peace of mind knowing that someone was visiting with them while we were away. Definitely would book again!”

“Cora took such great care of Newbury while I was away. I got pictures and updates after every one of their walks and Newbury had such a great time with her ?”

“Svetlana took wonderful care of Cosmo, our cat, giving him all the love, cuddles, and attention he needed while we were away. He’s usually quite shy around new people, but he warmed up to her very quickly. We received consistent updates and photos the entire time, which gave us such peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend her!”

“Cat did a fantastic job with our 3 cats. Since this was our first time using Rover, Cat addressed all of our questions, and took special care in her communications with us. . Due to a medical condition, one cat needed 3 different pills twice a day. While initially meeting with Cat, we saw our cats have positive interactions with her, leaving us with a good feeling. Cat kept to our strict medicine and feeding schedule, checking in every time with personal updates on each cat and sending plenty of pictures. She cleaned up the litter box, as well as a random puking incident, even asking how to clean fabrics. We can't thank her enough for making our first Rover experience an incredibly positive one. We'd definitely recommend her to friends and family, as well as using her again ourselves.”

About: Growing up I’ve cared for many types of animals, from dogs and cats to turtles and lizards. My love for animals is shown through how I will treat and care for your pets. School and work has kept me busy from pet-care, but I’m excited to jump back in. Rover offers the perfect opportunity for us to save for our wedding and still do something special that doesn’t feel like work. I currently work part-time from late afternoon to nighttime, so I have plenty of free time during the day when you might be busiest to watch and care for your pet(s)! I follow pet care instructions based on the clients’ preferences and needs. I will only implement the care instructions provided to me by my clients.
“Amanda took excellent care of our two cats! She communicated and provided updates. We had an issue with our key copy and she was very patient and flexible while we got it resolved. I really recommend Amanda!”

“Liz was so great to our cat! We felt so comfortable all weekend and she sent us lots of pictures of them playing. She definitely made sure to spend quality time with each check in. We are so impressed and will definitely reach out again.”
“Taylor did a wonderful job watching my 4 year old cat, Fuzzy. Fuz had a great time while I was out of town and got plenty of pets and snuggles. She was very communicative and trustworthy. I would definitely book Taylor again!”
East Boston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lily was so great! Very responsive and responsible, and my cats loved getting to spend time with her! Provided good updates/Rover cards and did a great job completing all the responsibilities I had lined out for her. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a cat-sitter!

Sarah was absolutely incredible taking care of our two cats while we were away! She left such detailed notes and took tons of pictures each visit. We really felt close to our babies and it gave us so much comfort knowing they were getting so much love. We will definitely be booking Sarah in the future, I can’t recommend her enough!

Fernanda provided exceptional service to my cat Bandit while I was away. I was so nervous to leave my (very!) needy kitty, but he was extremely well taken care of by Fernanda and her daughter. She went above and beyond with her care and was extremely communicative. I will continue to book her for future pet sitting, and I know Bandit will be thrilled to see them again!

Emily was great! She came over before booking for us to meet and for her to meet my kitty, Honey. I was nervous to leave Honey for 6 days for a work trip which was the longest she’s been left alone, but Emily provided wonderful updates and photos daily so I knew Honey was being well taken care of. I would definitely book with Emily again in the future.

Mary Kate goes above and beyond with my cat. I never have to worry about my furbaby when she’s in her care, and that is a huge anxiety reducer. She’s very communicative and sends ample photos and videos during drop-ins. Will definitely book her again in the future.

Sabrina took great care of my cat, geckos, axolotl, and fish. She sent excellent photos each day, and it was comforting to see that my little guys were thriving while I was away! She also took steps to try to win over my extremely shy cat and was really patient with her, which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter for cats and any other type of pet.
