“Haley was amazing!! So kind and flexible with communicating and planning with me, and very responsive! I felt very safe leaving my pup with her and her family on a holiday night☺️”


About: I have taken care of fur-babies since I was about 10 years old and I took care of my neighbors pets during every vacation. Since then I have had many pets of my own and have continued caring for others pets in my spare time. I like to take the pups for walks and enjoy hanging out with the cats - if they're playful I like to throw their toys around and watch them run after them. I currently work fully from home so it's rather easy to take care of pets on my lunch break and again as soon as I get off. On the weekends I tend to go for a lot of hikes so if you have a pup I would be happy to take them with me. I also have a kitty backpack if your cat is the adventurous type! I will follow any instructions and care provided by you for your pup or kitten. I respect all training styles- if your pet is crate trained I will be sure to follow that, if they must be on a leash outside I will always follow that. When watching your fur-baby they will be my first priority.

“I cannot say enough about what a great experience it was to board our princess puppy with JoJo! Ruthie was cared for just like she was in our own home. We got daily updates and photos. I hope we can book with JoJo every time we go away!”


“Our pups felt right at home with Hannah and Drew. They treated them as if they were part of their family. We got photo updates and they answered any questions we had during the stay. They’ll be excited to be back for future visits!”

“Penelope had a nice and relaxing time while we were in Vermont for the weekend. We received videos and updates throughout and felt really comfortable and confident having her stay with Yingying!”


About: Hi! I have walked dogs ranging from big to small, staying overnight with dogs & cats sometimes even for multiple days, administered medicine to cats who are either sick or older, taken pets to the vet. I love animals and I talk to them gently and give them lots of attention. I have a nice yard for if your dog comes over either for daycare or overnight and the area I live in has many different opportunities for fun walks. I also can come over to feed or play with your cat. I'm open to taking care of other pets too except for fish. I grew up with a beagle, taking him on walks, watching him when my parents would go on vacation, he lived until he was 14 years old. I then had a senior beagle/Boston terrier mix that I took care of for a couple years after his previous owner got too old to handle him. Now my family has a Chihuahua mix, and I walk and baby sit her all the time. I have a cat of my own. I have babysat my neighbor's cats, and my best friend's cat multiple times, even staying in their homes to give their pet the most attention possible. Please feel free to ask me questions. The only request I have is you let me know if your dog has any aggressive tendencies so that I am not caught off guard. I usually do meet and greets so we can talk in person and I can meet your pet and understand all their specific needs. My schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I have marked on my calendar days I'm traveling or unavailable but the days I have open timing is not difficult for me. When I babysit I feed them regularly, take them out on walks approximately every 2 - 3 hours. I play games with them and talk very sweet to them and pet them if they like that. I have babysit both cats and dogs and will do meet and greets if that will make your pet more comfortable. I have also taken care of an elderly Mastiff, as well as helped train a puppy Malanois. In terms of areas I go to regularly Somerville, Medford, and Winchester are the three preferred places to go. I also sometimes dog sit in Cambridge.

“Dyane was amazing and we will use her again in the future! She took the best care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. 5/5 stars and will recommend to friends. She is very professional and takes her job of caring for your pets very seriously.”


“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”


About: I have been an avid dog lover for as long as I can remember. I honestly can't think of a time when I didn't have a dog in my life. I am also a seasonal at a camping resort where there is a dog park, a doggy beach, and a dog spa. I would bring each dog to these places as well as long and tiresome hikes, and walks throughout the campground. I have completely trained my dog for walks and I believe I can do it with many others. I work a few days during the week, but other than that I am free whenever. I will always exceed the expectations of my customers because that is what their dogs deserve. I know that my dog is my everything so I would do anything in my power to make sure their baby stays safe and sound, but also has an awesome day to make them want to come back.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Clara provided for our Cavachon during the week between Christmas and New Year’s! They were incredibly attentive, kind, and reliable, ensuring our dog felt comfortable and loved while we were away. It was clear they genuinely cared, as they sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kian looked happy and healthy upon our return, and it was evident they were in great hands. We highly recommend Clara to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter. Thank you for going above and beyond!”


“This was our first time boarding Sophie with Melissa and she did great! We got timely photo and video updates from Melissa all through her stay. Good communication and she took good care of our dog. Will definitely consider her for future boarding needs.”


“We couldn't be anymore happier Nevaeh! She was beyond great, and our dogs loved the time they spent with her. She was very communicative and attentive which made us feel at ease for leaving them for a week.”


“Alberta watched our 2 bunnies for a weekend and we were so lucky to have found her! She definitely knows her stuff/how to take care of small animals and their unique needs and personalities. She sent us photo updates of them, which was great! It was so nice to have peace of mind on our trip, knowing our buns were in great hands. Everything was packed up and ready to go at the set pick up time. I would highly recommend her for any small pet! Thank you!!!”


“Ben took great care of my beloved dog Turtle. I had to visit an elderly family member in Florida.. let’s just say not a moment too soon. Turtle goes with me everywhere every day, so Ben’s one on one service was great for us. Thank You.”


About: Dogs are easily the best thing that’s ever been invented on earth! I have 2 dogs of my own, and have owned more dogs in the past. Doesn’t matter what size or breed. I’ve even cared for 13 dogs at once in one house, they were show dogs so they were very high maintence! I’ve also watched friends dogs overnight for them more times than I can count. I have a lot of experience with different sizes and different breeds of fur babes. I have free availability, as I’m not working at the moment because I have a 2 month old. I’m looking for some extra income, as well as lots of cuddles with all your fluffy friends that I can’t wait to get to know!

About: I have been taking care of pets for about 12 years. That includes the care of my pets, family and friends. My intent is to be the help I often seek for myself when I need a pet sitter. I work from home 3 days a week and only go in 2 days. Most of my time is spent at home taking care of my pets. I have a pretty big unfenced yard and 2 dogs. A golden retriever and a maltipoo. They are sweet dogs and super friendly to others.


“Melanie and her family were my first time using the Rover app and I could not have been more pleased. Elsa is not the easiest of dog but I never felt uncomfortable leaving her with Melanie: she knew exactly how to handle each of Elsas' quirks. This was also the first time leave Elsa for so long and I never felt like a nusuance asking how she was. Melanie and her family cared for Elsa like she was one of their own. I will definitely be using her again!”

“Penelope had a nice and relaxing time while we were in Vermont for the weekend. We received videos and updates throughout and felt really comfortable and confident having her stay with Yingying!”


Jasmine J.
“Jasmine is passionate about animals to her core. She's the type of person who will say hello to the dog as she enters the front door, and then only after it's clear the dog is satisfied will then say hello to the clearly inferior human-being. She owns a cat whom she cares for as if he were her own child, has had many dogs beforehand, and pet-sat for many people. You can be rest assured that your pet is in good, caring hands and they will never be bored!”

Kariangelie R.
“Kariangelie’s dedication and love for animals are evident in the way she cares for her own pets with the utmost attention and affection. What truly sets her apart is her ability to extend that same level of care to the pets of others. Whether it’s feeding, exercising, or simply providing comfort, Kariangelie treats every pet as if they were her own, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Her compassionate and responsible approach makes her a trusted choice for anyone seeking high-quality pet care services. I have no hesitation in recommending her services to those looking for a reliable and caring pet caretaker.”
