“Victoria stayed at my house for 5 days and cared for my elderly cat, who needs daily medication. She sent frequent updates and photos and took great care of my dear Nanette. She left the house clean and neat. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and recommend her highly.”

“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!”

“Marilyn is a fantastic sitter and considerate homestay. She took great care of my two cats (and my home), and they really liked her based on the numerous pictures she sent where it appeared they were following her around, and not just to the wet food. What's more, Marilyn goes above and beyond. When I left for my trip and Marilyn was to begin residency the following day, my neighbor texted me and showed me that there was a window situation where a cat could escape. Even though her duty started the next day, Marilyn made a special trip to confirm cats were safe, and to fix the window situation. She even washed the bedding and towels I had left her so I wouldn't have to do it when I got home, and she generously allowed my to book two more nights of her care when I wanted to extend my trip. Marilyn is very caring, considerate and flexible. I will definitely be requesting her services again. I recommend her highly as one of the best Rover caretakers I have encountered.”

“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!”

“Ella is amazing. She takes amazing care of our dog Chessy. She updates us consistently and we 100% trust her with longer stays to keep him safe and happy. She’s the best!”

“Kristina did a fantastic job taking care of my 2 dogs and cat while I was away! Her detailed updates and myriad of adorable pics gave me confidence everyone was being very well taken care of while I was away. We'll definitely be booking Kristina again in the future”
“Angelina was new to house sitting for our 2 large and highly energetic dogs - and she did fantastic! She was highly engaged with the dogs and keeping us informed. We received lots of picture updates and good communication. We have already rebooked her and would recommend to others!”

“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!”

“Janiya watched our 2 dogs while we were away, completing feedings, walks, and overnight care. She reached out when she had questions and left a nice paper report card after finishing the stay.”

“Belkis did a great job taking care of our two cats for ten days. She stayed in our apartment, sent pictures every day and played with our kittens to keep them engaged. Thanks so much for taking care of our kitties!”

“Allison was great with our toy golden doodle! Milly loved her. Allison was right on time, was in touch with us, and took great care of Milly. We will definitely call her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have over 20 years of hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior who needs extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I’m a full-time Bioengineering student, but I carefully manage my schedule to make time for pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m available on evenings, weekends, and during many daytime hours between classes. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm, and secure environment, and I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Carmen stayed with my 10 year old dog for a week. My dog get anxious when I leave but Carmen handled it well and provided lots of photos and updates. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Casey was super communicative, thoughtful, and attentive to details throughout the entire process. She genuinely cares about the dogs and it showed. Any dog parent understands the anxiety over leaving their babies with someone new - but Casey really pulled through and was so reliable! The dogs LOVED her. Thank you Casey. You're a gift!”

“Leonardo took wonderful care of our cat, Genie, while we were away on our five day honeymoon. He came by daily to feed her, clean her litter box, and spend time with her. We especially appreciated that he brushed her when he noticed her fur was getting a bit matted and made sure to give her plenty of pets and attention. He was very communicative throughout the entire stay, sending daily updates and pictures that really put us at ease and let us know Genie was in great hands. It made such a difference being able to relax on our trip knowing she was being so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Leonardo to others and would happily book with him again in the future!”

“Sarah provided phenomenal house sitting care for our anxious dog. She was very reliable and responsive and calmed our nerves with multiple photos and updates throughout the week. Highly recommend!”

Ailise is awesome! She was flexible with our last minute modifications. She took care of two of our dogs with very different needs and personalities. She took great care of our home while we were away as well. We were a little nervous leaving our dogs for a weekend with a sitter but we couldn't be happier!

Jess was amazing! She was available last-minute and super flexible with timing in terms of arrival and departure. I felt completely comfortable with her staying in our home and caring for our dog Rayne while we were away. We had an unexpected plumbing issue while we were away which Jess handled calmly and patiently on our behalf. I couldn’t recommend her more!

I had a wonderful experience with Victoria (Rev). We recently moved to Boston and Rev stayed in my apartment with Charlie for 5 nights, which is the longest I have had to leave him since moving. Charlie is older and has been a little anxious while adjusting to our move and it was clear that Rev gave him the love and attention he needed to keep him calm while I was away. Rev sent regular updates and photos, which helped keep my mind at ease. My flight was delayed and Rev was super accommodating to stick around until I got home. I would absolutely recommend Rev to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and truly exceptional dog sitter. We look forward to working with Rev in the future!

Katherine was a rockstar from start to finish. We just moved to the area, and so we had to find a new sitter for our cat, Moose. Moose absolutely loved Katherine and warmed up to her within minutes. He was playing with her on day 1, and it took prior sitters multiple visits before he even thought of touching a toy. Katherine gave multiple photo and video updates during her visit, and was super communicative of any issues. She stayed overnight and treated our home as her own. We will definitely be asking her to sit for Moose again!

Dani was awesome with our rambunctious pup! Sammie is a big lab puppy who's still learning the rules, and Dani was very skilled, patient, and made sure to give her lots of exercise. She was communicative and took great care of the house. We'll definitely use her again!

Georgia took care of Duck for 6 days, and I came back to a happy dog :) she is so reliable, really quick with responses, and sent me photos and updates while I was away. I could tell that my dog was calm and happy when I returned and the house was spotless! She even left the cutest crochet hat for Duck 🥹

Tommy did an excellent job keeping our elderly dog happy, safe, healthy, and loved while we were gone. I had a lot of anxiety leaving the dog behind this vacation, but Tommy did a great job putting my mind at ease. He left the house in great shape and communicated daily throughout the stay. Tommy will be our first choice next time we need a sitter!

Stacy was a pleasure to work with! She spent so much time with me during the meet and greet, making sure she understood the needs of my two Bengal boys. She did a great job taking care of them while I was away. One of the boys had just had an injury before I left and she was so attentive, making sure I got pictures of the wound to make sure everything was ok. She was great at sending pics in general, which was wonderful. Highly recommend Stacy!! I've already booked with her again :)

Julie is an incredible sitter - our favorite Rover experience we've ever had! She house/dog sat for us for 4 days and provided very frequent and descriptive feedback each visit and took such fantastic care of our pups. She went above and beyond in helping us deal with a traumatic incident that occurred prior to the sitting. She also had to clean up a poop explosion (sorry!!) and then provided poop reviews for the rest of her stay, something I very much appreciated as a worrier dog mom. Cannot recommend her highly enough! Also her photos were wonderful. Thank you a million Julie, we will be in touch again soon!

I cannot say enough great things about the exceptional care and love my pup received in Jesse’s care. This was the first time we traveled without our high activity, people-needy 18 month old pup so my anxiety was high. Jesse went above and beyond, caring for Willow in her home and making her part of the family. Daily updates with pics and videos assured me that Willow was enjoying her vacation too. I could not imagine better customized care.
