“Eric is super reliable. He shows up on time and he is very gentle with my anxious dog, Boo. She takes time to become comfortable with new people, and she is off to a good start with Eric.”
“Natalie house sat my 2 dogs and 3 birds for a long weekend. Natalie is responsible and easy to reach. She responded promptly to any messages. One of my dogs requires special care as a senior and Natalie cared for him well. I would book Natalie again!”
“Alana was great! She stayed at our home for a week while we were away and cared for our boxer and other assorted small animals. She gave thorough updates daily, and we returned home to a happy pup and and clean and well cared for house. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Rachael has been absolutely amazing with my dog! My pup was a recent rescue that was scared of everything. Rachael spent the first few weeks increasing my dog’s comfort level with her and now my pup LOVES Rachael and gets excited for their daily walk! She’s the only other person that my dog trusts :)”
“Nicole was excellent on her services. She stayed in our apartment for a house visit and she was super respectful of the place. She was very effective in communication and I was never wondering what our dog was up to, since Nicole planned out several activities and outings. I’m 100% hoping to re-book her for any future needs.”
“Andrew stayed for a week+ with our rescue hound mix, Jack, and was awesome—- he sent me 2 photos a day, is very responsive to messages and left us with a clean house and happy dog! Thanks, Andrew.”
“We hired Natasha to watch our anxious little lady for a long weekend trip that we had to take less than one week after moving. Things felt chaotic and unsettled having to head out of the apartment with boxes everywhere, but despite that we knew Finny would be in safe, loving, and patient hands while we were away - and we were right! Natasha was wonderful - super communicative, understanding, and kind. She clearly gets dogs and feels at ease around them, respecting their preferences and behavior and giving them the time and space they need to feel comfortable with her. She’s wonderful and I’d highly recommend working with her!”
“We were so happy to have Devika stay in our home with our dog Lucy while we attended a wedding! Devika was very responsive and sent lots of photos of Lucy which I appreciated. She was available on short notice and left our house in great shape. Thank you Devika!!”
“From first contact Rhianna was an A+. She's caring, communicative, and so easy to coordinate with. This was my first experience using Rover and she patiently helped with every step of the logistics when I had trouble with the app. She is responsive, asks great questions, and is extremely kind and capable. Our dog injured her leg just before we went away and Rhianna didn't hesitate to step up with extra care to make sure she stayed safe and happy. The photos she sent us tell the story so clearly: Henry and Lulah were in great hands and can't wait for Rhianna - their new favorite person - to come back soon!”
“We recently booked a weekend overnight stay with Karein and she was awesome!! She went above and beyond for our two boys. One of our dogs struggles with anxiety and Karein was so attentive and mindful of this. She even left the cutest drawing of our boys for us! So grateful to have found Karein. We definitely will be booking with her again. Thanks for everything Karein!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life, and I’m lucky to have two sweet cats of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love spending time walking, playing, and giving them the attention they deserve. I recently moved to the Boston area from Minnesota to be closer to family, and while I’m currently searching for a full-time job, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for pets. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet I care for like they’re my own. Love to give photo updates and do not mind cleaning up any messes your pets may make!! Currently look for a full time job after moving here on August 1st! That way I am able to wake up feed my animals, walk my dog, brush him, and play with him outside or inside. I am a big safety first person. I am a social worker so I am use to driving around a lot and going into different homes for people. I will make sure to clean up after myself or the pet and I always ensure to communicate anything that comes up with you!
“Susie was a phenomenal cat sitter - she was attentive to all of Mocha's needs and was playful and comforting to her throughout the visit. The frequent photos and updates were so appreciated. Mocha got along with her immediately and had a wonderful time while I was away. I'd recommend Susie to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much for taking care of Mocha on short notice and for treating her so well!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout my life. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I know how to keep them happy and loved I work full time but have time in the mornings and evenings for walking. I’m also able to walk and pet sit on the weekends I can keep your dogs company and play with them and walk them. I know how to keep cats and dogs stimulated to get their energy out

Erica was able to house sit for us and our five(!) pets after someone else canceled on short notice. She was very helpful and detail-oriented - it was clear she read our detailed instructions thoroughly and followed every one. Our dogs, cat, and guinea pigs were all happy and well cared for while we were away and she kept us updated with photos each day.
Alexi is amazing! She is very kind and my dog Maddie was enchanted the first time they met! Alexi took care of my Coton Maddie for four days in my home. I felt so calm when I was away from the messages Alexi was sending to me! She came early before I left and stayed until the minute I got home. She has so much experience and has her own little dog Tuffy. I was so fortunate that she was available after graduating from College! I cannot express how thoughtful and calm she is with my dog and how well Maddie was taken care of! Joanne

She was the best !! Very responsive, professional, clean, and most importantly took the best care of our girl Uma. She stayed 4 days at our place while we were on vacation, walked Uma a ton, gave her her meals and meds on time, and kept us updated with great photos and videos. Thanks so much Caroline!
We were so grateful to Sarah for being available at short notice to watch Celery so we could get away for a few days between Christmas and New Year. She stayed with Celery at our home they seemed to have a great time. When we got home we were impressed to see that although excited to see us, Celery wasn't her more usual super neurotic self which was lovely! Thank you so much Sarah for taking such good care of our pupper and of our house too!
