Michael was attentive and left detailed reports for each cat every day I was away. He also sent some great pictures of the kittens. He was flexible and worked with me around my changing schedule and a roommate moving in, which I'm very grateful for! It was my first time using Rover and Michael definitely left a good first impression of the service through his excellent communication and attention to detail.

Took great care of our kitten the first time we left him alone! I was nervous but Julie sent great updates and photos. You could see our little shy guy slowly become more and more comfortable with her each visit which was so great!

About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life! I don't own any at the moment but that just gives me more time to spend with your little fur-baby or babies. I have experience with senior dogs, giving medication, and basic puppy training. I'm also available for overnights, for any anxious little woofers, special needs puppers, or any additional medical or behavioral reasons. I am available for daytime pet sitting! I can be with your puppy or senior dog while you run out for errands or even if you just need a break! Just book me with the details and we can discuss a custom rate. My availability is completely open at the moment, including overnights. Animals are not a side-gig for me. They are my lifelong passion! I will work to fit into your routine. I have done overnight, weekend long, and drop in pet care and dog walking throughout my life. Nothing matters more to me then my client's comfortability and their pet's safety.

Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!

Megan was amazing with my 2 cats while I was out of town for 2 weeks! She always takes the time to play with them (they’re young and energetic) and send me cute pictures of them and it helped me be a lot less anxious about leaving them. Thanks Megan!

About: Hi there! I’m an animal lover living in a multi-family home with a friendly 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix. We have an unfenced backyard for quick bathroom visits, and live close to plenty of parks where your pup can enjoy some leashed walks and outdoor time (lars anderson, jamaica pond, the greenway). Whether your dog loves playing fetch or snuggling up for a nap, I’m here to offer lots of love and attention! Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Pet Care Services: Daily walks and playtime Lots of belly rubs and attention Safe and comfy home environment Flexible availability to meet your dog’s needs Let’s arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure we’re a perfect match for your pup! 🐾 I have a small dog at home, so I regularly take her out for a short walk at least 4 times during the day. I work from home on Fridays, and on Monday through Thursday, I’m in the office but always come home during lunch for a walk, followed by a longer activity when I get home. Dogs are allowed to freely hang out in my home, including couch/bed while I am home. Depending on the dog's comportment and their guardian's wishes, I would crate the visiting dog(s) while out of the home, or separate them using gates in separate rooms for ensured safety of your dog and my own. Please note: I require a meet and greet for any new boarding requests to ensure our dogs get along and stay safe during their stay. Not required for repeat stays.

About: I’ve been taking care of my dog for the past 5 years, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I love spending time outdoors, especially walking the Emerald Necklace—Jamaica Pond, the Arboretum, and Franklin Park are regular spots for us. I’ve come to realize (like many owners) that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re part of the family—and I treat them that way. I’m familiar with leash handling, routines, and how important patience and consistency are, whether on a walk or just hanging around the house. I’m happy to follow your dog’s specific needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just good company, I’d be thrilled to care for your pup! As a working professional, I’m fortunate to have a good amount of free time both before and after work. That makes it easy for me to build pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks, evening playtime, or just making sure meals and routines stay consistent, I have the flexibility to give a pet the time, attention, and care they need every day. I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their individual needs—whether that means sticking to their usual routine, giving them extra playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure they’re happy, well-cared-for, and having the best time while they’re with me.

About: I’ve grown up caring for both cats and dogs and have always been comfortable around animals. Since my teenage years, I’ve provided pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family, gaining hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and overnight care. I am a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter who loves meeting new furry friends and making sure they feel safe while you’re away. I’m currently in graduate school, and pet sitting is a flexible way for me to do something I genuinely enjoy - spending time with animals. Pet care fits into my weekly routine as a graduate student. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to walks, feedings, and quality time with each pet. I prioritize maintaining a pet’s usual routine and following the pet owner’s guidance. I will follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions provided by the owner since they are the expert on their pet. I make sure that the pets I care for receive attention, playtime, and affection, while also monitoring their behavior to ensure they’re happy and healthy. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep everything clean and organized.

My experience was Maya was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time booking with her - she agreed to check on my cats very last minute, when my first cat sitter canceled just two days before my trip. On top of that, my two kitties that have recently been getting in small tiffs with one another, and so I was anxious about spending so much time away from them. Maya was incredibly understanding of this anxiety, and she took the time to have a lengthy video chat with me to discuss each of their routines and any behavioral signs to look out for. She checked in on my cats twice a day while I was gone, and she spent ample time with them on each visit. Having Maya watch my cats took a huge weight off of my shoulders while I was away. I would highly recommend her to all!

Julie is consistently a great sitter! She really makes my 2 blind cats feel cared for while I'm away. Even during challenging weather, she always shows up to make sure my kitties are shown some love when I'm not at home. They're always in great spirits when I get back from being away, which is priceless! Thanks Julie!

Sabrina continues to be our go-to cat sitter. She went above and beyond this time with a big snowstorm, helping us by shoveling while we were away and also offering to come out during the worst of the storm to get to the cats when our travels were delayed. I always have pure peace of mind, knowing that my cats are under her care while we are away. Thank you, Sabrina!

Meghan is an excellent, highly responsive sitter. She is great with our cat, Maeve, who can be difficult and defensive with strangers. Meghan intuitively understood how to handle a nervous, 'spicy' cat, using play and treats to build a bond rather than forcing interaction. Her updates were frequent and reassuring. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a petsitter!
