We asked Arianna for a drop in visit of our cats and take care of their food and litter and renew their water. She was very helpful and even though our cats are afraid of other people, she knew how to make them feel comfortable. I recommend her to any cat owner and ask her to look out after them in the future whenever I travel.

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!

This is the second time that Savannah has watched our pet. She is always very communicative and punctual in all her check ins. She sent us lots of photos of our furry one with each visit. I also appreciated Savannah's flexibility when we had to add some extra days beyond the booking . Thank you for all you have done for Ms. B!

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: I’ve had dogs in my home for the past 21 years, namely an array of bully breeds both large and small. When I moved abroad in 2023, my English bulldog moved in with my family and I’ve been eager to welcome all of my friends’ dogs into my life and home ever since. I’m often dog-sitting for friends across New England and thought now is as good of a time as any to offer the same support to others! I’m a full-time remote employee with a spacious apartment that happens to have an enclosed deck and located across the street from a sprawling park with dedicated dog areas! I’m a typical millennial woman who is always willing to lend my time and space to some sweet pups. My apartment is dog friendly i.e., they’re welcome in all rooms, on the furniture, and to enjoy the fenced in deck on nice days. I love long walks and therefore long walk companions and maintain a quiet and calm home life.

We’ve used Liz for our 7 month old puppy for about a month now and she’s been absolutely amazing! Liz has been incredibly flexible with our schedule, even doing a last-minute meet and greet before getting started and accommodating last-minute requests when our schedule changes. She takes such great care of our puppy and always sends thoughtful updates about how his day went, which we really appreciate. Our puppy Bogey absolutely adores her and looks forward to seeing her every visit! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. We highly recommend her!! Thanks for all that you do Liz!!

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was young. I’ve had many dogs throughout my life and truly enjoy both training and caring for them. During the school year, I work at a school, which means I have summers off and plenty of time to devote to your furry friend. I’m very active and love long walks, so your dog will get lots of exercise and attention. Beyond experience, my passion for dogs really shines through in my personality. I even live near a dog park and often stop by just to pet the dogs because it’s the highlight of my day! I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and dog-sitting is the perfect summer job for me. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup as if they were my own. Starting this summer (June 3rd-August 25th), I am available Monday-Friday anytime between 8am-6pm. If you would like to start before the summer, I am happy to schedule weekend care that fits with your schedule. I live in a pet-friendly apartment conveniently located near a dog park, where I can bring your pet for regular park time, long strolls, and plenty of opportunities to play and explore. I also have a reliable car, which allows me to offer pick-ups and drop-offs as well as trips to nearby trails or parks for longer walks or hikes.

I’m lucky my 17 yr old cat has Grace to look in on him. She’s very responsive to his needs, whether it is to play or sit and be scratched under the ears. She’s sends reports so I don’t worry about him. Grace is his favorite. He tells me by how calm and content he is when I get home.

Anna did an incredible job of looking after our cat Cam while we were away for two weeks. She was great about sending us updates and pictures each day, and was quick to respond with all my questions while we were away. It felt good knowing that we left Cam in good hands. Anna will be our first choice the next time we need a sitter.

This is our second time having Sarah care for our two cats while we’re away for a week, and she never disappoints! She leaves such detailed descriptions of her visits and each cat’s mood, and sends plenty of pictures. We truly look forward to reading her Rover cards each visit.
