About: For the last 11 years of my life I have taken care of my amazing dog who sadly passed away in 2024. Alongside taking care of my own pet, I have also taken care of others' pets. Friends, family or strangers, I always treat any pet as my own. I love all pets and have an extensive amount of experience in pet care, from dogs to cats to other animals as well. I am well versed in bathing, feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing plenty of love and attention. My dedication to the well-being of animals goes beyond just the basic necessities; I strive to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and thriving in their environment. As a current graduate student, I am available during certain months of the year, including some additional weeks for breaks. I will always update my availability when I am in town, and will be more than ready to take care of your loved ones! I will only be offering dog walking and non-overnight dog/cat sitting services. I prefer to provide my pet sitting services in the home of the pet, but will make exceptions if needed. Typically, I like to use the pet's belongings when engaging with them, but I also have supplies of my own if needed. No matter your pet needs, I will make sure to care for your pet to the greatest extent.
“Julina was great! She was very responsive, sent lots of updates, and helped make our first experience with Rover a positive one. When she asked if our new dog would be interested in playing and learning from her dog, Loki, we jumped at the chance. They played so well together and our dog came out of his shell. We'll be calling on Julina (and Loki) again.”
About: You know that person at parties who spend more time with the dog than other people? Hi, that's me. I've had dogs in my life since I was five, and can't get enough of them. Any time I go to a friend's house and they have a dog, I'm the one begging to let them into the room. My house stinks of Boston Terrier and coats are all covered in dog hair after letting my hounds sleep on them. My current pup (Winnie, 4/yo but still a puppy) is a mad little ball of energy who I've had to play with for hours and walk for miles just to get the zoomies out of his system. I'm a dog lover, through and through. I'm most experienced with medium breeds, (namely Bostons,) but I'm more than happy to care for dogs of all sizes! I'm a freelance illustrator who works from home, so my schedule is plenty flexible. A long walk in the afternoon or evening is a good excuse to get away from my desk, and if you need someone to watch your house overnight, I can take my work with me while keeping your hound company. Any responsibilities I have are in the mornings, so any time after 3PM is fair game for dog walking. If you need someone to watch your house and hound, I'm here for 24/7 service. On any given day I'm free to watch your home and keep your dog company. I work out of my computer, so needing to commute or go work a shift isn't any worry. I can spend all day with your dog, make sure they're well cared for while you're gone. (I also might just draw them- I'm an Illustrator, after all)
“We love Cristina! She was prompt, friendly, and wonderful with getting to know our dog Haddy. She asked all the right questions about things we didn't even think to tell her about Haddy, and Haddy warmed up to her very quickly, which is rare. We will definitely be calling her again soon, and you should too !”

About: My partner Erick and I have spent our whole lives having and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, energetic dogs to the shy and skittish , and everything in between. We treat every pet like our own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. We work most days so we cannot board and stay in but we cannot stay the whole day. We can work out a time for drop-ins or walks any day of the week! We follow your pets’ routine closely. meals, walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. One of us is always checking in, whether it’s for extra potty breaks, fresh water, or just a little extra attention when they need it.
About: I have had many breeds of dogs from a young age. I take care of my dogs with great pride. Feeding, grooming & taking my dog for checkup. Heartguard & flea & tick prevention. My love for dogs from many years still continues. My dog Molly is almost 8 & she is the love of our household. I started the love of dogs at a young age with my dog Lassie, then my family had Siber, a white Samoyed. We adopted a mix Doberman/German Sheppard. Then a female Maltese Chardonnay. My wife & daughter now are sharing my love as first time dog owners with Molly. We adopted her from North Shore Animal league. Any dog I would take care of, I would show compassion & care. I am retired from full time work today , I am available when you need me , message me! I am fully free on weekends as well so any time is fine! I was active in 2018 but now after 5 yrs , I am active walking dogs again . I am available for dog walking or sitting 7 days a week . When going on walks I can put on booties/sweater/jacket and harness if needed and then I would take them on a nice walk to help them get exercise, energy out and do all their business. I am very cautious to make sure they are safe and not eating anything random of the street or steping in harmful things.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience—I’ve had numerous dogs and pets since I was 6 years old. I also have a gift for working with animals as they respond very well to me. I’m great with everything from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra care. I’m calm, reliable, and quick to tune into each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s basic training, giving meds, or just keeping them happy and safe, I’ve got it covered in spades. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it—it never feels like a chore. I’m organized and flexible, so I make time daily for walks, feeding, play, and check-ins. I structure my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether it’s early morning potty breaks, afternoon walks, or evening cuddles. I’m also used to balancing other responsibilities like school and work full-time, so I know how to stay on top of things and give each pet the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all provided instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medications, or specific quirks or preferences. I make sure the home stays clean and secure, and I treat the space with total respect, just like a guest should. I also spend quality time with the pets—whether that’s playing, exercising, or just offering companionship. I send regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected while they’re away. My goal is to make the time apart as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
“Oswald was so incredibly helpful to me and my dog, Bear! Since Bear has mobility challenges, I enrolled him in rehab for physical therapy. Not only did Oswald help me with the lifting and carrying of Bear, he even generously drove us to and from the rehab center. His time, care, and attention meant a lot to me and is deeply appreciated. Thank you so much!”

Lakeview pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole did an amazing job watching our sweet boy Mowgli being our first sitter on Rover. We were concerned about his back legs being an older boy and not knowing his limits. Nicole did a perfect job heeding our caution, following explicit instructions left for his care including medication administering and taking such good care of him. Very communicative and sends so many pictures and videos that we were at ease the entire time away from him. Could not recommend more!
We are so thankful to have had Anna House sit for our goldendoodle, Cody, while we were out of town. She is a kind person and loving animal lover. She took excellent care of our pup, paying careful attention to his special diet and administration of medication while providing play time, walks and attention throughout. She provided updates daily and we were truly able to enjoy our time away knowing she was there and Cody was happy. Anna also took such care of our home while she was with him. Highly recommend and will rebook!! Thank you!
I can't say enough good things about Kerry. She did a magnificent job taking care of our dogs. She treated them as if they were her own and went above and beyond to take care of some issues that arose. We will definitely book with her again and appreciate everything that she's done.
Molly was a pet-sitting phenomenon! Our special needs and finicky dog fell in love and so did we. She was attentive, communicative, and utterly competent at the highest level - even handling (with grace and patience) a broken heater emergency. The house was perfect when we came home and our dog was still in cloud 9 from perfect care. Molly is a dream pet sitter and we (alll!) are grateful!
