“There’s truly no one else I would trust with my dog more than Michael. He’s kind, caring, and so thoughtful with Oliver. My dog absolutely adores him! you can tell they have the best time together. Michael always sends great updates and the sweetest pictures that make my day and give me peace of mind knowing my dog is in great hands. He’s incredibly reliable, always on time, and very responsive if I ever have any questions or last-minute schedule changes. I’ve been working with Michael for a long time now, and it’s been nothing but a wonderful experience. He really goes above and beyond! from drying Oliver after rainy walks to remembering little details about his routines and quirks. I honestly don’t know what we’d do without him. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Jose is incredibly kind and compassionate and my dog - who is usually pretty wary of new people - warmed right up to him! I would recommend him to anyone that owns a dog.”
“Neha was fantastic! She took the time to meet Comet the day before his first walk, which was incredibly helpful. It was clear that she's experienced with dogs and understands the concerns of anxious pet owners. During Comet's walk, Neha was very patient with him while he was adjusting to having a new walker. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos of Comet. Neha is highly professional and a true expert in dog care”
“Tanya did a great job taking our boxer Nala on daily afternoon walks. She was great at communicating any changes in her schedule with me, flexible to meet my needs to care for Nala, and always polite and professional. Thank you so much for you help Tanya! It was comforting knowing that Nala was in good hands while we were away.”
“Tommy takes fantastic care of my dog during their daily walks! It’s great knowing my pup is in good hands, and Tommy always provides photos and updates. I highly recommend booking with this sitter!”
About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.
About: Hi my name is Jasmine. I have been a aminal lover my whole life. I grew up breeding dogs with my mom. At the age of 10yrs I graduated from training & obiedienss school with my pet poodle. I currently dog sit privately sometimes for a few nights, a few times a whole month for some of my clients that travel out of state. I also have two furbabies of my own. I love working out and continuing my education. I'm a cirtified herbalist, I also recently got my certification as a lash technician. When I'm working with Rover safety is my top priority when caring for your furbabies! I garentee quality time and lot of love and affection as if they were my own. I can't wait to have fun and play! 🐕🐈 Animals truly bring me joy. Thank you! I currently do not work. I take care of my grandfather and my 16yr old son. Rover is my main hustle! I'd rather spend my free time with fur babies than with people honestly! It's my therapy to be with all these wonderful pets. I can take your fur baby to play,get daily exercise and run in the grass. I myself have went through dog training classes and over the years of owning my own fur babies I do know proper training techniques and dog body language that is very important when interacting with your baby and helping him/her get to know me and be comfortable and feel safe. Pets are people too! They are our family and we love them like our family. I want you to know you baby is safe and happy with me, and always cared for.
“Caroline was great to work with! She was very communicative and worked with me to find a good time to meet my dog and take him for a walk. He was very happy and tired when he got back. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Caroline again!”
“Jovani is super punctual and that’s something I can appreciate! Usually when I get home Nori is ready to play and full of energy but after her walks w Jovani she’s worn out lol and i love that she’s getting adequate stimulation & exercise. + fast and easy communication & lots of pictures :))”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals. During my time in college, I was a veterinary Technician and can administer medicine if needed and more! After working my full time job, I am available for walks and any other activities your pet might need. I work from home and I am very flexible when it comes to overnight care! I know how much your pet means to you, and I treat every furry guest like my own. In my cozy apartment, they’ll enjoy a safe, calm environment filled with affection, playtime, and plenty of walks. You can rest easy knowing they’re cared for, loved, and never lonely while you’re away.
“I was very happy with Elvis it was the first time for him walking our dog Loki, Loki was very happy. Elvis is vey nice, professional and friendly will definitely use his service again 👍”
“Karen was a great dog walker. We had our initial meet and greet with her and she was very understanding with how our dogs were with new people. She was very patient and kind with them. I loved the updates with photos she put on their report card, I could see that they were being well taken care of. She would keep me updated when I needed to refill their doggy bags. My dogs quickly liked her and would patiently wait by the door for her to come. As an anxious dog mom, I was able to trust her completely. I would highly recommend Karen for any pet needs.”
“Gage is a wonderful contact! He’s very responsive, timely, and provides great detail on the time spent with my pup! Thank you for all you do, will definitely be booking again.”
“She was amazing! Our dog is very active and excitable and she handled him well. Also- we requested that she come at a specific time and she was right on time everyday. Great pictures and kept us updated on his demeanor. We will use her again. Highly recommend.”
About: I work in an animal hospital so I know what a lot of health issues like the back of my hand. I was trained for pet triage to look at the warning signs of something happening such as a cat open mouth breathing or things along that aspect are the HUGE things to look out for. I work at an animal hospital and know the warning signs if anything is wrong with a pet regardless of breeds. I love animals and working with animals that I am able to bring with me to work is so easy! I have four cats and a bearded dragon! For my cats, I let them be besides their daily "workout" so I can keep them in fit. I try and be interactive but also give a pet it's space because nobody likes to be overstimulated.

Jasmine P.
“Hi, My name is Day... I owned a blue nose pitbull for 14 years. Throughout the last 10 years Jasmine has dog sittered my Dog name King ... He is an amazing Dog that requires alot of energy and attention due to his high energy personality. Jasmine cared for King at times for an entire week at a time so I may travel to seminars and trainings throughout the USA. She is caring and kind with all animals and My Dog got along with all her cats!:) It was my favorite part seeing him have respect for other smaller creatures! She gave him so much attention and care that he truly learned to love her and King always would wacked his tale when he was at her outside door. I truly recommend Jasmine as a pet Walker or sitter she will truly care for your animal as if he /she are hers. King also has a strict diet and she respected all my request due to his Roots of being a pitbull it was important to teach him structure with a very nutritious diet. He loves play and loves apples and Mangos!??”

Natalia T.
“To whom it may concern, I believe Natalia Tovar will be the perfect candidate to work for Rover. Natalia has worked with pets for over 4 years. She has more than enough experience in dealing with Dogs & Cats. She has worked as a Veterinary Technician for 4 years & also took care of my dog, Duke. Also, Duke has trust issues and she won him over with her love and caring personality that made Duke very comfortable around her. She has helped with his shots, grooming & even giving him medicine when needed. Natalia Tovar will be the perfect candidate for Rover.”

Mattapan dog parents share their Rover experiences
My dog had a fun time with Raymond! It was a hot day so per my instructions they had a shorter walk mixed with more indoor playtime (and my dog loves both so he was a happy boy). Raymond was able to do a meet and greet before the walk which I appreciated. Would definitely use him again!

I’ve been working with Michael for a long time now, and it’s been nothing but a wonderful experience. He really goes above and beyond! from drying Oliver after rainy walks to remembering little details about his routines and quirks. I honestly don’t know what we’d do without him. Highly, highly recommend!
