About: I’ve had a pup for as long as I can remember, and LOVE training dogs. I was able to learn the basics from my mom, who happens to be an agility dog trainer! Big or small, I love all pups. Can’t wait to meet yours! I am typically available weekends, and have a varied schedule during the week. I work from home Monday and Tuesday, and would be able to tend to your pet most consistently those days. I have a dog run area, and enough space for a crate if you provide one. I work from home Monday and Tuesday, so if your pup gets nervous I’ll be spending a lot of time with them!

“Lauren checked in on my cat Belle while I was away and was amazing! Greatly appreciated the photo and vid updates and super responsive!! Definitely recommend”


About: I have interacted with many pets big or small while delivering mail and packages. All dogs know the mailman! Excited to take care of our 4 legged friends Currently I’m in school for game design and I need a way to escape my house from time to time, what better way than being outside with a our furry friends! Typically, I ask what routines you would like for me to do such as long walks and dog parks, but I do try to do 2 miles to tucker them out!

“James dropped in on our cat for us while we were away for a weekend and did an amazing job! From sending hilarious pictures and videos while spending quality play time with her to going above and beyond by dealing with some house issues that arose, we could not have felt that she was better taken care of. And I think she found a new best friend!”


“Heather looked in on our two cats while we were on vacation for a week and she was spectacular! Our boys got the food and attention they needed and Heather provided daily updates. We are very grateful to Heather!!!!”


“Page was very accommodating to my last minute change request. So thankful she was able to care for Rosa.We will be using here services again for sure!”


“Jamie is great with our puppy. She loves playing tug of war and chasing after balls. Jamie happily obliges her and lets us know how she did during each visit. Plus he is super responsive to scheduling requests! Would definitely recommend him!”


About: I have had many beloved pet dogs and have dog sat for friends and family when they go on vacation. I feel like I have a special connection with dogs and understand their wants and needs. My family jokingly refers to me as the "Dog Whisperer" I am retired but work out of the home part time as a crossing guard. One hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. My wife is home during the morning hour. We have a small extremely friendly 2 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Milo. He loves to play with every dog he has met and is extremely gentle and loving. We have a fenced in front yard and back yard with plenty of room for small dogs to roam and a quiet neighborhood for leash walks.

About: I am so excited to have recently joined Rover and can’t wait to give all my love and care to people’s pets! As a lifelong dog owner and caretaker, I bring a wealth of experience and love to every furry friend I look after. Growing up with family dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, and happiness. From playful pups to senior companions, I know how to provide tailored care that meets each dog's unique needs. With a passion for creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, I ensure your dog feels right at home while you're away and will always ensure they have a caring, compassionate companion! I am currently working full time during the day, but I can dedicate my weekends (Fri-Sun) towards caring for pets for extended periods! However, I am free after 5 PM when work ends on the weekdays, so I can help with after-work care. I would place the pet as the primary responsibility and will love any pet with the utmost care! I can help watch pets while their family member(s) is away and will provide the best care for the pet, whether it means constant potty breaks or extended play time inside or out!

About: Hi, I’m Anna—it's lovely to meet you! I'm based in Malden, MA and serve all throughout Boston and the North Shore. I have experience with dogs of all kinds—elderly, reactive, big, small, high-energy, and stubborn—and I bring the patience and care needed to give your best friend the attention they deserve. My own dog, Churro, is a reactive rescue, so I truly understand the extra love and support some pups need.

I am proactive in ensuring safety of your pet, a pro at navigating reactivity situations, and can follow any special directions you provide me to a T.

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. In fact, I raised a boxer from puppy to senior/end of life and currently I have two 7 year old kitties. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I love making cats and dogs feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on each pet’s unique needs and routine. I have a flexible schedule and work from home; I am able to work with your schedule and keep your pet on schedule to ensure stability and continuity of care. I’m not able to care for pets in my own home but I’m happy to spend time with your pets in a space they’re comfortable and provide them with the same care and love I give my own pets.

She has constantly demonstrated her dedication to putting her cats' health and safety first, and had taken time off of work to spend with her cats and get them help when they needed it. Everytime I have been to her place her cats are healthy and warm with me and seem very comfortable and secure in her home. I have also seen her interact with other friends' cats and dogs and she has treated other animals with equal care. She would be a great pet sitter and I know any cat or dog would be in good hands under her care.”
