“Aurora was great with our two dogs! They took an instant liking to her and we felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands for the weekend. She provided lots of pictures and videos and both our boys were happy and content when we returned home. We will definitely book again!”
“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better first-time experience with a house sitter! From start to finish, Natalie was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and proactive. She kept us updated throughout our trip with sweet notes and photos which brought us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our care instructions to the letter and when we returned home, everything was spotless. It was clear Emmy was well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone so dependable and kind. Highly recommend without hesitation!”
“It was such a wonderful experience having Vanessa watch Mochi at our house for us! We knew from the first moment at the meet-and-greet that Mochi would be well taken care of and we came home to a very happy pup. Vanessa took her out for walks as requested, sent us great photo updates, and cuddled with her while we were gone. Mochi was genuinely sad when we got home because Vanessa had to leave, and I think that says a lot about their bond! We will definitely ask Vanessa to house sit for us again!”
“Shalese was a perfect dog sitter!! It was the first time my partner and I were leaving our high energy/anxiety pups with a sitter on River, and Shalese relieved all our own anxieties! She was very professional, clean, and clearly cared so well for our dogs as they are both still pooped from walking and playing with her! She did extra work than was even asked of her such as managing our home (cleaning, bringing in mail), and we are so grateful. We highly recommend Shalese to anyone and would book her again!”
“Andrew was terrific! He communicated with us regularly to let us know how things were going. He clearly enjoyed Bernie & the feeling was mutual. The house was immaculate upon our return. He was just wonderful to deal with, and we'd most definitely ask him again to take care of Bernie!”
“Rachael took great care of our dogs and house. We got frequent updates and pictures, and the dogs seemed happy and well taken care of when we got home. I’d highly recommend booking her for house sitting!”
“Kora was great throughout the whole process. She was very confident about her abilities to take care of my senior cats for an extended period of time which made me feel much less anxious about the whole experience. She clearly bonded with the cats and sent pictures and check ins throughout her stay! She also was very respectful of the apartment during her stay and was always very responsive.”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Miranda and I am a recent Tufts University graduate with extensive animal behavior training. I currently live in Somerville and am excited to join the Rover community! I have experience working at a vet clinic and plan to apply to veterinary school. In addition to my love for animals, I have taken care of neighbors’ and friends’ pets since high school! I am currently working part-time as I complete my veterinary technician certification, so I have plenty of availability to help take care of neighborhood pets. I am generally available on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I love being outside and going for walks, especially when I have a furry friend to join me! I am very comfortable handling animals and can easily identify and de-escalate stress responses. I love socializing with dogs and cats, but am able to sense when an animal needs some space.
“Diana has experience with both puppies and senior dogs and she was great with my dog with separation anxiety. Good communication and lots of photos. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Alice did an excellent job taking care of my dog and mom's two cats. She was incredibly thorough with her questions about their care. She sent great updates and was very communicative. I felt really comfortable and secure knowing Alice was at home with our pets. She takes her role very seriously and provides great care. I could tell from the photos she sent that my dog was very comfortable with her and the cats really loved her, too. She also left a lovely note detailing her time with the pets. This is the best experience I've had with a dog sitter! A real gem.”
“Leah took such good care of Booboo! He was in great hands the whole time. Leah was also very considerate of the space and sent photo updates of Booboo. Would definitely book again and recommend to others.”
About: I’ve always been around pets, and I see them as true members of the family—not just animals we care for, but companions we’re lucky to have. I genuinely love both dogs and cats, and I enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just being a calm, comforting presence. Because I work from home nearly full-time, I’m able to give pets a lot of attention and consistency. I believe in forming real connections with the animals I care for and being a reliable, communicative sitter that pet parents can count on. If I ever have to step out for anything, I’ll always keep you in the loop. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and I take that responsibility to heart. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to give your pet lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m occasionally out for a couple of hours for work every other Tuesday—and on rare days outside of that—but I’ll always let you know in advance. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first! I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect. I follow your care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle routines. I aim to keep your pet’s day as normal and comforting as possible, and I’m tidy, quiet, and respectful of your space. I check in regularly with updates and photos, so you always know how things are going. My goal is to make your time away completely stress-free—for both you and your fur baby.
“We were very nervous about leaving Greece with someone since we always travel with her. It was our first time using Rover, and Kalila took excellent care of her. Highly recommended. We will definitely contact Kalila for our next trips.”

Raul G.
“I'm a lecturer at Harvard and Columbia University, so I end up spending much of my time immersed in research and teaching. Additionally, I take few things more seriously than the well-being of my French bulldog, Bravo—who is, without exaggeration, my closest companion and absolute pride and joy. Trusting someone else with him is not something I do lightly. Raul is one of the very few people I trust implicitly to care for Bravo. He has an extraordinary intuitive sense for animals and treats Bravo with the kind of tenderness and attention most people reserve for their own children. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, keeping him comfortable, or simply being a calming, affectionate presence, Raul consistently goes above and beyond. As an example, I was recently away for a conference and Bravo got very sick. Raul drove him to the ER, made sure he received the best treatment possible, and stayed there with him for several hours. I will never forget the attention and care he offered Bravo when we needed the most! His reliability, warmth, and clear emotional intelligence make him not only a wonderful caretaker but someone I consider a genuinely rare and valuable presence in Bravo’s life—and mine. Anyone would be fortunate to have their pet in Raul’s care.”
Anna S.
“Anna was professional and very good communication. Our dogs are pretty needy and she was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend her!”
Kalila S.Star Sitter

Janny was absolutely phenomenal. She house sat and watched our mini sheepadoodle over 6 days and kept us in the loop with how she was doing everyday. She sent us lots of cute pics and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. She was also a wonderful house guest and kept everything very tidy. Absolutely recommend!
Connie was amazing, stayed over for 6 days while we went on a trip, it was our first time on Rover and she really made it super easy and stress free. Sent plenty of picture updates and was very communicative! Will 100% be reaching out again next time we go out of town!
Natalie did an amazing job from start to finish, excellent communicator, sent tons of pictures, followed our guidance on caring for our cat perfectly. She was punctual, conscientious, and clearly a lover of cats. Would highly recommend without reservation. A true gem.
Liz is absolutely fantastic! She took such great care of Henry, and it was clear from the frequent updates and incredible pictures that he was having the best time. Liz’s communication made me feel completely at ease, and her updates showed just how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. We came home to see Henry happy and relaxed, and I couldn’t ask for more. I Highly recommend Liz to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!
Katherine was literally a life saver. I went away to Egypt for 2 whole weeks and did not worry once that my babies were in good hands. My kitties are rambunctious little girls and she handled them so well and sent plenty of pictures and notes to make me feel comfortable. Have already booked again for a different trip and so happy to find someone who I trust.
We’ve used Sydney a few times and have always appreciated how well she takes care of our dog. This time, she really went above and beyond though! 24 hours into our trip, our dog developed a significant limp. Sydney provided extra care and even took our dog to the vet, putting us on speakerphone so we could listen in. She took extra special care of our dog, including administering medicine and following new vet orders. We feel so lucky to have Sydney as a pet sitter.
Lilia watched our 9-year-old Yorkie in our house for just over a week, and it was a great experience for him and us. From the time we first contacted Lilia, she responded quickly and handled everything with maturity and professionalism. She kept us regularly updated with pictures and texts, and it was incredibly comforting knowing that our dog was in such good hands. She took equally good care of our house. We would happily use her again and strongly recommend her to others!
We had a great experience with Caryn as our dog sitter. From the beginning, she was very communicative and transparent — keeping us in the loop about both the good and the not-so-perfect moments, which we really appreciated. She sent regular updates with photos of Zissou and Bowie, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. Caryn was flexible with timing and followed all of the instructions we left for the dogs’ care. It was clear that she and her wife genuinely cared for our pets, and we felt immediately at ease leaving them in their hands. On top of that, our home was clean and well taken care of when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Caryn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter.
There are truly no words to describe my gratitude to Anny for her care of my two cats. One of them had been injured prior to her coming to my home for stay overs, and severely traumatized. (I was in the hospital and unable to get home to them.) Her loving presence and reassurance that she had it all under control turned out to be true. My cats adored her, and the traumatized one ended up sleeping with her every night instead of hiding under a bed. I could not have been more satisfied with her service, and beyond that incredibly grateful she managed an extremely difficult situation with such loving care and determination. She is the best. Worth every penny. Thank you Anny!
