About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats throughout my life. I am a huge animal person. My family always has said I have a special bond with animals they always love me! I’d love to watch your pets during my time off! I am very consistent, timely and respectful. I also love taking pictures/photography and have some cameras so they may become my model and you may receive a couple cute pictures of your pet! I am currently not working as I am searching for a job after graduating from my masters program! So I have lots of time on my hands. I’ll give your pet lots of love and care. I will listen to any reccomendations or specifications from their parents to best support and comfort them on their days alone.
“Tauryn was amazing with our two dogs! She was punctual and communicative. The pictures she sent were so cute. They both seemed so happy when we returned from our trip! We will definitely use her for drop in care again!”
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: Hi! I’m a warm, caring, professional dog walker looking to add some walks and boarding to my schedule. I absolutely love dogs, and will treat yours as if it were my own with all the love, care and attention they deserve! I am comfortable with puppies, seniors, and even have experience with more reactive pups. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I am a professional dog walker with a local company two days a week, but am looking to add more walks and visits to my schedule. When I’m not dog walking, I’m working on building a sustainable swimwear brand from home, so I have lots of flexibility to work around your schedule. I don’t have any pets of my own, so yours will be the center of attention! I live on the second floor of a two family condo building. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but I live right off the Neponset River Trail and there are lots of great walking route and trails in my neighborhood. If your pet is used to sleeping in your room with you at night, I am happy to have them in my room, and can accommodate crated or uncreated dogs. In general I try to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.
“Nick was great with our cat Delilah! He was very professional and came and met her ahead of time. She was very comfortable with him as we saw through many cute photos! We would definitely book with Nick again.”
About: I’m an animal lover that has had pets all my life! I’m a calm and patient person who can handle dogs of all sizes and demeanors. I also can’t resist petting a cat. I understand that they are family and will treat them as such! I’m currently working part time so I will have time to take care of your pet and make sure they have all the attention they need. I have reliable transportation and am a Boston native I have a fenced in yard and live very close to walking trails and a park. I have space to crate a dog inside if needed, or they can remain in or outside. I have two cats at home but when other pets enter the house they will be on the second floor only.
“Madison is a wonderful pet sitter. She took great care of my kitty. Her updates were so detailed and she took amazing pictures. It made me so happy to know my cat was in great hands. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
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
“Michael is great! This was my second time booking him and I had another great experience. My cat, who likes no new people, tolerates him (this is great for her) and may even like him (gasp!). I would definitely recommend him, you can trust him with your pets and plants! Thank you Michael!!”

About: Ever since I was a kid, friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, dogs who prefer to be the only pup in the room, and multi-dog households. My husband and I are proud pawrents to our sweet 50lb rescue, Charlie! (and we like to say he rescued us as much as we rescued him!) Being a rescue, he has fearful tendencies. Because of this, I've come to understand dog behavior on a deeper level and know how to ensure your pup remains safe, comfortable, and confident in all settings! I’m fortunate to work fully remotely, which gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine. I genuinely love animals, and spending time with them is something I look forward to. It’s a great way to step away from my desk, recharge both mentally and physically, and come back to work refreshed. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping a pet company, I’m able to be present and attentive with them! I’m a natural caregiver and love animals of all kinds. Since we live in an apartment without a fenced yard, Charlie enjoys at least four walks a day. We’re lucky to be close to parks and the Neponset Trail, so he gets plenty of new places to explore! I’ll give your pet the same level of enrichment—long walks with fresh scents, playtime, cuddles, feeding, and plenty of love.
“I was initially super anxious about using this service, but Stephen put my mind at ease with incredible care, kindness, and communication. Amazing sitter, went above and beyond. Thank you!!!”
“Elvis is great! We urgently needed someone to let our 9 month old puppy out a few times a week, and he immediately responded and helped us out. He's very reliable and is great with our dog. Would definitely recommend Elvis!”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mattapan
Ella was amazing to work with. She was super responsive and took excellent care of Blue. I loved how much feedback she gave in her rover cards. It was such a weight off my shoulders to know Blue was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely ask Ella to watch Blue again in the future.
Ann-Marie was absolutely amazing ! She was so loving and kind to my 2 golden retrievers. From the moment she walked in, she was playing with the dogs and it was obvious she loves animals. It was such peace of mind knowing my 2 dogs were being cared for so warmly. Ann-Marie went above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend her more. She gave great updates , sent pictures and exceeded what I had hoped for. So grateful to have found her !
I needed last-minute care for my dogs, and they were incredibly helpful and responsive. Meaghan communicated well throughout the visit, and sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Most importantly, my dogs were comfortable with her right away, and it was clear they were well cared for. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Gabriel was wonderful with my pups! He was very communicative and flexible with my whacky schedule, and he took the time to come over in advance to meet them first and introduce himself so they wouldn’t be meeting a strange for the first time during their drop in. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mattapan stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mattapan choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Mattapan with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
