“Johnatan took care of my dog for 2 weeks. He’d feed her and walk her twice a day. He was always respectful and kept me posted about my dog’s activities. He washed the linens before departing and even gave my dog a quick bath (he forgot the blow-drying part though). As much as I’d like to give him 5 stars, there’s still room for improvement as he forgot to leave the sliding door open for the dog to go outside leading to the dog peeing and popping inside of the house. He sometimes took 8+ hours to get back home and a couple of nights he wasn’t able to return at all and my dog slept alone. The latter due to he working part time at a place located 1 hr away from our home. Overall, a thrustful boy who just needs to get more experience.”

“Angelique was flexible, communicative, and super loving with our dogs. She was willing to come walk/meet the dogs prior and get to know them and our house. Her messages during the trip were informative, reassuring and had pics to make it easy to know our pups were doing well. We’ll definitely be adding her to who we reach out to for future trips. Thank you!”

“Salina was very punctual and communicative. She stayed at our house and took care of our senior dog and outdoor cats for 2 days and we felt totally comfortable with her making sure everyone was well taken care of!”

“Alejandra was great. Consistent communication and regular updates on my dog Rue over the 2 weeks we were out of town. Also left the house in great condition when she left.”

“Daria was fantastic with our two old hounds. They need some extra TLC and she did so well. We came home to happy hounds and a spotless house. She was super communicative and very easy to work with. Thanks Daria!”

“Christine is truly wonderful! Whenever I come home, my dogs are relaxed and happy, which I believe is thanks to her caring attention while I'm away. She always keeps me in the loop, which I really appreciate. Thanks so much, Christine!!”

“Diana helped us out last minute by watching Ralphie a few days before Christmas. She communicated regularly with us throughout the stay and brought walking outfits for Ralphie. We’re very grateful to her!”

“Nicole went beyond our hopes! Nicole regularly sent pictures and updates. We could see how happy our guy was. When we came home be was relaxed and not at all stressed from us being away (as he had been after other sitters). Nicole followed all instructions to care for our guy was is a little high maintenance due to back trouble. Nicole discovered his favorite games and even gave him a nice brushing at the end of their time together. We were so pleased and would love to have Nicole come back!”

“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”


“I’ve had Barbara house sit with my animals two times now, and she has been communicative and helpful each time. I was running around before my trip and I forgot to leave her instructions in my home, but she was super understanding and helpful when I reached out with notes on medication and food. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Charlie and Angrboda are always very calm and comfy when Jessikah has watched them while I'm away. She always leaves my home clean and tidy, and is the BEST communicator I've had watching my pets. This time, she dealt with two complications: (1) Charlie's old man knee acting up and making him lethargic and uncomfortable, which I'm so thankful she was attentive to; (2) fielding a tree service that was rescheduled to the last day of my trip, which really did me a solid - rescheduling would have been a pain. When Charlie was feeling unwell, she sent videos and called me to make sure I knew what his symptoms were and could give her an informed recommendation for his care. I panicked a little, but her videos helped me identify the issue and decide it was not an emergency. He's doing great, now 🥰”


About: Hi there! I’m a total people person with a heart that easily extends to pups of all sizes! I’ve been working as an Autism Specialist since I was 19, so patience, intuition, and building strong, trusting connections are truly my superpowers. I like to say I have that special energy humans and dogs both adore! For the past 7 years, I’ve been dog sitting for families in and around my neighborhood, as well as my parents’ neighborhood, caring for their fur babies like they’re my own. I understand how important it is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live in a spacious 2bedroom apartment with a spare room that gives pups plenty of indoor space to play and relax. Our complex also has lots of grassy areas perfect for fresh air, potty breaks, and nice walks. Whether your dog loves a structured routine, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I’m happy to meet their needs! I’m reliable, communicative, and naturally attentive. and I genuinely get excited to host and care for pups in my home. Your dog’s happiness and well being will always be my priority. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! 🐶✨ I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so your pup will have lots of supervision and attention on those days! I’m also available most weekends if you’re planning a little getaway and need reliable care! I care for every dog like they’re my own, keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide plenty of supervised playtime, structured walks, potty breaks, and cozy rest time in a safe, calm environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer quiet cuddles and relaxation.
“Bola is just lovely. She is considerate, thoughtful, and took amazing care of our dogs (on short notice no less!) We had never hired a house sitter before and are now wondering why we never did, when there are people like Bola in the world. I feel like I owe them a ride to the airport. Like not even OAK. I owe them a ride to SFO or San Jose. Thank you Bola. We’ll be hoping you’re available every time.”

“A HUGE Thank You to Eleanna! She was incredibly flexible with our schedules, took great care with our Xiao Xiao, very communicative and just an overall sweetheart which made our time even better. We felt at ease and that’s so important. Absolutely booking her again!”

“Hamed is the best. His communication is extremely responsive and proactive. He’s thoughtful, kind, and anticipates any questions. I’m so grateful when he’s available to housesit my cat. It makes traveling easy knowing my cat is well taken care of and I’ll hear from him each day of my trip. I highly recommend him.”

“Lena is excellent. She was very good with our dogs, understanding their routines, and making it all a very comfortable experience for both us and our dogs. She asked all the right questions, gave us nice daily synopses and photos, and kept everything very tidy. Lena is very conscientious and caring and we hope she is available for our next trip.”

Fitchburg pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole was fantastic! Xiao is a covid dog and has struggled with socializing. Although she’s in daycare she doesn’t have a lot of 1:1 time with other dogs. Nicole asked if we would be open to Xiao meeting her dog and we loved that! This extra care for Xiao was awesome and we really appreciated it. Thanks Nicole!

Salina has taken such great care of our babies. Our doggy was sick this past week and Salina found food our dog would eat after our dog rejected everything we had at home. Salina also took our dog to a vet appointment and did an excellent job of communicating between the vets and myself/my partner. It is a huge relief to have a committed, trusted caretaker for our dogs.

Alisha did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were overseas for two weeks. This was our first time hiring a house sitter, and were a bit anxious about leaving our pups (a 9 month old and a 16 year old) with a new person, but Alisha's friendliness and professionalism made us feel comfortable right away. Everything went smoothly, we received regular updates and responses to our communications. When we came home the house was sparkling and the pups were happy! We will definitely be repeat customers!

Melina is an incredible critter sitter - she’s the only person we’ve trusted for years now to make sure our fur babies are safe and sound when we have to leave them at home! Our house is always exactly at we left it, if not better and cleaner! ;) Thank you as always for caring for our crew like they were your own, Melina!! Until next time…

Anais took excellent care of my little blind Yoda over a long weekend I was away. He was a fair amount of work given he still had stitches from eye removal surgery on one eye and was on multiple medications to keep him chill and pain free. She administered all his meds and made sure he was comfortable and stress free for his recovery while I was away for the weekend. She was very flexible as well, since I was supposed to go away the weekend before but had to cancel due to his emergency surgery. She was on board to care for him the following weekend instead and worked with me up to the last minute to be sure I felt he was well enough for me to leave at all. Will hire Anais again and again!

Edward hit it off with Milo from the get go and made himself available at the last minute for a house-sit. He was super communicative and sent us pictures and updates. He even washed our dishes ( totally out of volition) and that is super awesome thank you 🙏🏽 Milo will look forward to many more sits with him. Highly recommend!!

Leo was awesome with our pets. It was our first time leaving our pup Milo who is a 10 month pit with him along with 2 cats. And he took such good care of them and sent us the best pics (professional photography levels) we felt at so much ease knowing Leo is taking care of them. We trusted Leo completely thanks to his amazing communication and care. We most definitely will be using Leo again for caring for our babies and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for utmost care and love for your pets. Thank you so much Leo. You rock !!
