“Katherine went above and beyond in just a single visit. It was immediately clear how much she genuinely cares for animals, especially cats. Finding a trustworthy cat sitter can be surprisingly difficult, so we feel incredibly lucky to have found Katherine!”

About: I have dog sat for various relatives and friends over the years, as well as worked at dog day cares for 3 years. Good at providing a calm environment for dogs and have picked up training techniques from my old boss at the dog daycare. Had a dog of my own for 13 years and know various locations to walk and adventure, as well as a great sense of my neighborhood. I’m trustworthy and will provide good care for your dog. I have a car and am able to drive realtively far to come to your needs. The dogs will be in safe care under my watch. I look forward to meeting and helping out dog owners. I have a flexible availability and am patient. I’m not returning to office until February 9th and have plenty of time in the meantime to care for your pets! Upon returning to work, I will be available weekday evenings & all day on weekends unless otherwise indicated. For drop in visits, I am respectful and cognizant of client’s homes. I foster a safe environment, and am patient when working with your pet(s).

About: I’ve owned pets of all kinds growing up and naturally love animals. I’m responsible and have experience caring for animals, I do have pets and many family with pets. I will make sure I’m monitoring my request and a give a same day response as to my availability. I do work part time so it’s possible this may affect availability. I love to pet and play with animals, every animal is different though so I make sure to be aware of body language. Whatever the animal needs I’m there wether it’s walks, play, or usually attention

“Katie is so nice and very professional! Joni warmed up to her right away, and I can tell she is going to be in great hands when Katie visits her! I’m so grateful, thank you Katie!!”

“This was our first Rover experience, and we will definitely be coming back! Jadeth was warm and responsive, providing joyful daily updates (with lots of photos and videos). We could not have asked for a better person to watch our cat.”

Sarah K.

“Jose took great care of Sammie, especially as she is a shelter dog, and has been improving with her reactive nature on leash! I got 2-3 pictures and a cute blurb about each visit, which was so reassuring! Highly recommend and would have him care for her again anytime.”

Kathleen M.

“Valerie was great with our puppy Blue! She was easy to communicate with, and took really great care of him. We were very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend her.”

“Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.”

“Jennifer took great care of our cats, who were in a complicated situation where they couldn't be allowed to see each other while we were away. Jennifer handled everything like a pro and we are so grateful. Thank you so much!”

About: Hey there – my name is Nancy, and I’ve taken care of dogs the majority of my life. Starting with my childhood dog, Bandit, a mixed Shepard. As an adult I had a pit bull/boxer mix, Vedder. I had Vedder for 12 years. After Vedder, I had a beagle/boxer mix, Killian. I currently do not have a dog of my own. This gives me plenty of time to take care of your dog I am an experienced sitter, and did walker who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I’m currently not working. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet. I’m available both days and nights to watch, walk or play with your dog. To ensure the safety and well-being of pets under my care, I would first familiarize myself with each pet’s specific needs, behaviors, and any medical conditions. This includes understanding their diet, exercise routine, allergies, or medications they may be on. During walks, I would keep them on a leash at all times. Moreover, for both walks and sitting sessions, I’d maintain regular communication with the pet owners by providing updates and promptly reporting any unusual behavior. Maintaining vigilance, open communication, and being prepared for unexpected situations are crucial aspects of ensuring the safety and well-being of pets under my care. I am not a certified dog trainer, but I did successfully train my pit bull/boxer, Vedder, and my beagle/boxer, Killian. When you board your dog with me, you can expect a quality stay. Your dog will not only be well looked after, they will go on some cool walking adventures. I’m located near three beaches, and three parks. One of the parks has a bike/walking path. I keep the owner updated with pics and text. I also use a walking app that shows where we walked, how far we walked and how long we walked. When you leave your dog in my care, you can enjoy your vacation knowing that your dog is also having fun.

About: I am an very active healthcare professional who loves dogs. I have owned dogs my whole life and naturally have a strong affinity towards all animals. As a healthcare professional, it is both an instinct and passion to care for others. I am currently waiting for my new job to start so I am flexible Monday through Friday! Once my job starts I will be available anytime after 5 during the week! I will be sure to give any and all pets lots of affection and stimulation to make sure they are getting the best possible care while their owner is away!

“Ann-Marie did a wonderful job taking care of our 10-year old Bernese Mountain Dog, Zeus. She stopped by to walk and spend time with Zeus three times a day for almost a week and provided helpful updates throughout. She was really great!”

About: I first started caring for dogs when I was 11 and my family adopted our then 12-week old puppy, Tulip (beagle-hound mix). I was the primary one responsible for her feeding and afternoon walks throughout middle and high school. I also routinely dog sat for neighbors who at the time had a senior poodle, providing daily drop ins and walks. Since moving to Boston, I have been fortunate to become a regular dog walker for neighbors and friends, with experience walking shihtzus, German shepherds, labs, and boxers. While I now own two cats, I would love to get outside and enjoy the summer weather with some new four-legged friends! I work for the public schools, so I am off all summer! I am happy to provide drop-ins or walks throughout the morning and afternoon M-F, with some availability on select Saturday and Sunday afternoons. **School ends on June 26th this year - on dates marked as available prior to June 26th, I can only accommodate afternoon walks between 2:30-7pm. I have cared for puppies all the way up through seniors dogs in their final days, so I am happy to accommodate the specific needs of your dog based on age and temperament. It is my existing habit to send a photo to friends of their dogs every time I visit or take them on a walk, as a way of making sure they know I have actually completed the service and their dog has been properly cared for!

“Ange was absolutely wonderful. She was very communicative and always quick to respond to messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She sent photos and a thoughtful summary after each visit, something we truly appreciated. We came home to a clean house and, most importantly, happy and healthy cats. We would definitely book Ange again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: Hey hey! My name's Victoria, but friends call me Rev. I moved here a couple of years ago now from Georgia, began pet sitting in April 2024, and it's currently my full-time job! I've been fascinated with animals since a young age, with about ~17 years of experience, mainly with cats. As I've gotten older, I've fallen in love with the human-animal bond, and have become passionate about their care and respecting each one the way they deserve. Regardless of your pet's personality, preferences, or needs, I'm excited to meet, care, and accommodate your little darling with the same love as you would! I hope to hear from you soon 😊! As this is my full-time job, I'm capable of prioritizing my schedule to work for you and your sweetheart(s). I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). If you're not sure, please feel welcome to ask! If I can fit them into my schedule, even on short-notice or alongside another sweetie, I'm more than happy to see what I can do. I've got the kind of guest attitude you can expect from a typical Southerner! I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them, and due to a background in housekeeping it's not uncommon for me to do some cleaning before I leave. You can trust to come back to your home just as you left it, if not with less dust than before!

“Michael took good care of my cat Glinda while I was away. He checked in everyday at about the same time and made sure that everything was going along OK. He even managed to get 2 pictures of her before she ran away to hide.”

“Jess went above and beyond taking care of my kitties. When I came home they were happy and healthy. I also loved getting cute pictures of them when I was away from my home.”

About: Within the past few years I have provided consistent pet care for variety of animals. Cats, dogs, small companion pets, and even fish. My responsibilities have included scheduled feedings, daily walks, potting training, playtime, basic care, routines, and maintaining clean a living space to ensure pets feel safe and welcome. I believe pets should feel emotionally supported while their owners are away. This role has strengthened my ability to be able to read different animal temperaments and adapt individual needs, while creating routines that match each pets energy and comfort zone. I am currently a full-time student at UMass Boston majoring in Political Science with a minor in Africana studies. Now that there isn’t currently a pet in my home to care for, I have grown strong desire to start caring for other peoples pets again. I especially have the time between semesters on winter and summer breaks. When classes are back in session, I have worked my schedule around my desire to care for pets and will only be in class two days a week. I hope to feel this time with adorable for babies. I live in an animal, friendly apartment complex that includes a spacious outdoor area. This is perfect for giving pets some fresh air if they enjoy it. I play close attention to animal's personalities and comfort levels. For dogs, I make sure to coordinate with other pet owners to see if a play date is on the table, or keep them in quieter spaces if they prefer it to be more low-key. For cats, I have plenty of open space indoors, including a scratching post and cozy spots where they can relax. All above I respect animals boundaries and make sure they feel safe and at ease, whether in my home or yours.
