“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”
“Victoria was great with our dog, Tally. Sent us daily updates. Very responsible. We felt assured that our buddy was in great care. Highly recommend”
“Angie did a fantastic job watching Lady. She is very prompt with all communication. she was accommodating when we hit curveballs like not having parking for her car and when I was delayed on my return trip. she treats your dog like her own and sends lotssss of pictures . I also felt really comfortable having her in my apartment. She’s a girls girl and very respectful, she left the place spotless! Will work with her again!”
“Tommy was so great with our Dorothy!! Dorothy was well taken care of and we received frequent updates including pictures. Will definitely use Tommy again in the future”
“Claire stayed at our apartment with our dog and was super communicative, attentive and thoughtful! She sent us lots of photos which we appreciated so much and left the house clean and in order. We felt so confident while traveling that Jeter was in good hands! Would definitely recommend Claire!”
“My wife and I are first time dog owners who recently got a puppy. Anastasia took care of him for an evening while we were away and did a fantastic job! Theo was so comfortable with her and the peace of mind knowing that he was safe and well cared for is all I could ask for. Will definitely be working with Anastasia again!”
“Prompt communicator, required little instruction. Appreciate the help.”

“Corrina was awesome, great communicator, gave tons of love to our pups while we were out of town. I recommend Corrina to anyone who cares about their dogs!”

“If you're reading this, stop and book Alyssa for your pet care needs. Alyssa checks in, provides much needed pictures of your furry family members, and asks all the important questions to ensure your pet is acting as per usual when you're away. She made being away from home much less stressful and for that I'm so incredibly grateful. If Alyssa is available, she's my go to for the next time Oliver needs someone to hang with him while I'm away.”
“Nile was wonderful! He was super easy to communicate with before and during our trip, took fantastic care of Frances, and left the apartment spotless. And, of course, he sent great photos. Well definitely ask him to watch Frances again!”
About: For nearly my entire life I have taken care of my two dogs, Eddie and Shorty. Between raising them as puppies and taking care of Shorty in his later years, I have had the pleasure in taking care of my dogs. Over the years I have helped sit and take care of guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and many other pets! No matter the animal, I treat them with love just as if they were my own. I can walk or watch your pets any weekday! As for overnight sitting, the same applies. I work part time in politics so I should almost always be able to fill your requests. I can provide care to your pets in your home when needed! If given with instructions on how to take care of your pets, I can accommodate to all of you and your pets needs.
“I couldn’t recommend Tiffany enough. She handled my sassy husky with care and treated him to lots of walks, playtimes and approved treats! She even got my shy cat to cuddle! She kept us updated with photos and videos. Tiffany is responsible, clear communicator, friendly, and a pet whisperer. She would take great care of your fur babies while you’re gone.”
“Jovani took wonderful care of my dog and cat! My pets clearly loved her and even my cat who is afraid of everyone was excited to see her. She is communicative, reliable and friendly. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”

Mattapan pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jackie was the perfect sitter! This was our first time traveling without our nervous pup so I was looking for someone with experience with anxious dogs, someone who would be responsible, caring and warm with her, and put her at ease. From the moment we met, I knew Jackie would be amazing. We felt completely comfortable being away knowing Hope would be in good hands.
Darlene was absolutely wonderful. She is responsible, caring and attentive. She provided us with updates and was very response throughout. Would have her pet sit again without reservation!
Cyn was fantastic with Willis, he was special needs in that he’s recovering from TPLO surgery and I had to take an unavoidable trip out of town, she followed the instructions to the letter, gave him meds, and overall kept my baby company while I was away, I’ll definitely keep her in mind for next time!!
Bradlie was wonderful! It was super easy to schedule a meet and greet, and she was great with our dog for the short time they spent together. We came home to a very happy puppy!
Eve recently house sat for us and took great care of our two 4-yr old kitties. She was great with daily updates and pictures and was proactive with questions. We returned to happy kitties and a clean home. We’d definitely use Eve again!
Sharon provided exceptional care for our dogs while we were away. She provided daily updates and pictures, and clearly tried to keep the dogs to their regular routines as much as possible. We were extremely appreciative of her flexibility as well, and her willingness to extend her stay an extra night at the last minute when our return travel was disrupted. Sharon provided great peace of mind that our dogs were in caring hands, which certainly allowed for stress-free time away. We would certainly entrust her to look after our dogs and home in the future.
Erin took care of our precious animals while we were gone for 2.5 weeks. She provided timely updates with great pictures and exceeded our expectations with regards to caring for our animals and taking care of our house. I would not hesitate to hire Erin again!
Kyle is our guy. he has been watching our dogs for over 5 years now and is always the best! The dogs love him and we feel 1000% safe knowing he is at our house with our dogs. He really is the best!
We are incredibly grateful to Ailise for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Pepe, over a long weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals, and she treated Pepe with so much love, attention, and patience. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pepe felt comfortable and happy in her care. Ailise was also extremely respectful of our home and she went above and beyond to ensure things were just as we left them. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Ailise to look after Pepe again in the future. Highly recommended!
Josie did an awesome job watching winnie, she was very communicative and our dog warmed up to her quickly!
Jazmin and Alyssa were awesome house sitters for our pup! They were quick to respond, sent lots of photos, and kept our home just as we left it. We would absolutely book with them again!
Mariah was communicative and took good care of our cat. She mentioned that she visited multiple times a day and sometimes worked from our place to keep our cat company, which was thoughtful and clearly above the basics.
Katie did a great job!! She took excellent care of our dog and cat, watered our plants and even unloaded our dishwasher! Even more impressive she handled a water main break and flooding that happened while we were away -dealing with city workers and flood mitigation people. Very communicative. Would highly recommend!!
Jennifer is wonderful! Super responsive, helpful, and takes incredible care of our dogs and home. Highly recommend!!!
Aymbre is a good communicator and made sure to check in when something seemed off with Monki, which I really appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was paying attention to how he was feeling. Overall, I felt Monki was in good hands and well cared for. Thanks again!
Kay is a wonderful person whose talents include great dog caretaking. We were away for 5 days and though we missed our dog, never once worried about her well-being. And, Kay left our home neater than we left it for her. What a find! David and Helen
We can not say enough good about Luis and the care he took of our two pets: Baloo (a 4 year old hound dog) and Soupbelly ( a 8 month ish old kitten). We were out of the country for a little over three weeks in which Luis attended to every need of both pets. In addition to the usual care, he also took Baloo to nearby off leash parks, which is his favorite thing to do. In addition to graciously sharing his bed with both pets he spoiled them with treats and outings and kept us up to date with lots of pictures, which were so appreciated. Being so far away, it was a relief to know our pets were so well cared for and loved in our absence. And last but not least, he took great care of our house which was an added bonus!
Madison is our go to dog sitter! For our recent booking, we had a last minute change to our schedule and Madison was incredibly understanding and accommodating. Our dog Molly loves her and while Molly is always excited to see us when we return, we can tell she has been well taken care of and enjoyed her "staycation" with Madison! :)
Sarah was amazing with watching our senior dog during a 2 week vacation out of the country. She provided daily updates and pictures of how all was going. She was willing and able to help with medication management, communicating with the vet as needed, and reached out when she needed further clarification. She stayed at our home and treated it with respect and was very clean upon returning. She is a very responsible pet sitter and we would highly recommend her for your pup. We would definitely rebook when the need arises.
