“Shuping is the best! She looked after my bird with so much attention, kindness, and love, and sent pictures that brightened my day. The stress I had about leaving her behind completely went away once I knew she would be happy and looked after during that time! Thank you so much, Shuping!”
“Kaitlyn was so wonderful! She communicated regularly and was calm and understanding when Allie had a bout of stomach issues. Allie came home happy and tired, the perfect combination!”
“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”
“Hyesoo and her family took really good care of my puppy, Lily. The pictures and updates that Hyesoo sent us made us enjoy our own vacation because I knew that Lily was having a great time with Som, Hyesoo’s puppy. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely call her again!”
“Our doggie had a wonderful stay with Barbara and Jen. She clearly felt safe and well taken care of as was evident in the pictures Barbara thoughtfully sent every day.”
“Erin is GREAT. She kept in touch with me, sent me pictures of Rocky and messaged me throughout the day which was reassuring. Very clean home and huge grass area right next to her. Rocky is a hyper fella so that was good. Thanks for caring for Rocky. Will be booking again with her. Hopefully Rocky wasn't too much for Dim Sum❤️”
“Gina did a wonderful job taking care of Theo! I appreciated her communication and updates! It made me so happy to so see that Theo was content and comfortable with her.”
“This was our first time using Garrett to watch our pup and we absolutely would do it again! He was attentive, communicative, and flexible. He also handled our anxious dog excellently, being gentle with her but also making sure she got her exercise and play in. Above all, he treated her like a member of the family.”
“Alec and Damien did such an amazing job caring for my pup! They were incredibly responsive throughout the process and provided such a warm and welcoming environment for my dog. My dog felt at home and at ease almost instantly. They sent really thoughtful updates that made it clear that my dog was having a lovely time while I was away! I will definitely be rebooking the next time I need a dog sitter!”
“The dogs RAN up and into Casey's place wagging when drop off, and came out happy, even more spoiled, shinier and somehow smelling nicer?! when picked up. 😆 This is our 52774th time boarding with Casey and we cannot thank her and recommend her to others enough. Casey is extremely thoughtful and attentive to details, and even has now built with our dogs their own routine that put the dogs at ease and peace. Thank you thank you thank you.”
“Seung was absolutely amazing!! She gave us multiple updates a day on how our dogs were doing. She made sure they got proper exercise and the dogs were worn out when they got home. I would highly recommend her to other dog parents!! Seriously, the best rover dog sitter we’ve ever used.”
“Emily was fantastic, sending frequent photo updates of my pup having a great time while I was away. It was such a relief to know he was in great hands :)”
“Sunisa is an incredible sitter! This was our second time booking with her, and once again, we could tell how much Yogi was enjoying his time with her. It’s always such a relief knowing he’s in great hands. She always sends amazing photo updates during his stay and always gives us a framed photo of Yogi at pickup. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be coming back.”
“Cody was a fantastic sitter for our pup while we were away for a long weekend. She provided great daily updates and was incredibly kind, flexible, and communicative when our pup experienced some separation + thunderstorm anxiety during his visit and when we experienced flight delays on our return trip home. We will definitely re-book with Cody in the future!”
“Tianyue was awesome every step of the way. This was our first time using Rover and we have never left Bailey with anybody before, so we were apprehensive. Tianyue was very sweet and sent lots of videos. We would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you Tianyue for everything!”
“Lyn watched Jack for 5 nights, it was his first time staying with her. Lyn was very professional, flexible, and caring! She was easy to communicate with and I received daily updates and pictures from her. Jack seemed to have a good time with her, I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
“Phillipa is an amazing dog sitter! The updates every day were very much appreciated and we will definitely consider her again for any future needs.”
“Lauren did an amazing job caring for my pup, Poppy! Lauren was caring, thoughtful, and responsive throughout the entire process. Poppy felt right at home! Lauren is a great petsitter and provides a really safe, fun, and relaxing home away from home for each pet. Poppy and I are looking forward to her next stay with Lauren!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.
Jamaica Plain pet parents share their Rover experiences
Joe (and his puppy Rose) were amazing with Maple! We were so glad to have another dog for Maple to play with while we were gone, and it sounds like they became best friends. Joe was extremely communicative, helpful, and knowledgeable about taking care of dogs. He was accommodating with drop off/pick up times and great to talk with. Highly recommend Joe to others and would book him again!
Ekaterina was great! She helped us out in a tough spot to watch our son’s cat, and it could not have been a better arrangement! She was a great communicator and sent lots of great photos so we knew that everything was ok! I would totally recommend her for any sitter needs that you have.
Garrett was great! He looked after our 55lb dog for a long weekend. When we picked her up she was happy, healthy, and tuckered out - she got lots of activity throughout the weekend with long walks and neighborhood adventures. He kept us apprised while we were away with updates and photos. Would definitely book with Garrett again and highly recommend him.
Tiana and Olena were absolutely fantastic with Millie. They were incredibly responsive throughout the stay and consistently kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear from every update that Millie was receiving lots of attention, care, and affection. They were proactive, communicative, and treated her like one of their own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would gladly trust Tiana and Olena with Millie again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog sitters
Shuping is one of the best “nanas” Cookie has ever had, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her through Rover. From the moment Cookie stayed with her, it was clear how much warmth, kindness, and genuine love she gives to the pets in her care. She treated Cookie as if she were her own, and that gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. One of our favorite things was receiving her sweet updates. She would send us adorable photos and videos and share little stories about Cookie’s day. The way she affectionately referred to Cookie as a “little rascal” always made us smile and showed just how much she cared for her. As pet parents, being away from your beloved pet can be difficult. Finding someone who loves, cares for, and cherishes your pet almost as much as you do is truly a blessing. That’s exactly what we found in Shuping. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive caregiver for their pet. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. We would happily trust Cookie with her again anytime.
Zarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)
