“Most incredible cat sitters. They took such good present care of Gouda, he was so happy and calm. They sent so many updates and videos and I was so comfortable that he was doing well. Thank you!”
About: I have two years of experience working at a dog shelter in Bolivia, where I helped care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve also grown up with dogs at home, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I love spending time with dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’ve even taught my own dogs different tricks, so I’m very patient and enjoy working with dogs and helping them learn. Now that I’m living in Boston, I’d love to help other dog owners care for their pups and treat them like my own! My schedule is very flexible outside of classes. I have classes Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 4–10 PM, but I’m available before those times and have much more flexibility on Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends. I especially enjoy weekend pet sitting because I can spend plenty of time with your dog and give them the attention, walks, playtime, and company they need. I live in a cozy, clean apartment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and fresh air with regular walks around the city and Boston Common. I always follow each owner’s routine and instructions, keep dogs safely leashed outside, and make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and affection while they’re with me.
“It was clear that our dog was in excellent hands! Ilya was dedicated to providing tons of exercise in the parks nearby, and giving us detailed, routine updates on how the days were going. What sets Ilyad apart is his commitment to communication – these regular, detailed updates put our minds at ease and let us know our dog was thriving. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a reliable and responsible caretaker for our 2 year old Whippet, we can't recommend him highly enough! Chelsey & Dan”
“Phillipa was very good with Kona. She sent daily pictures and updates. Kona got to do lots of exploring on multiple walks each day! Highly recommend Phillipa and we would definitely use her again to watch Kona in the future.”
“Just moved to town and started having Krystal & William watch Thor. This was only his 2nd time with them, but he LOVES his home away from home! Got tons of pics and vids of him playing and being pampered while I was away. Would definitely TRUST them anytime with him. And absolutely recommend K&W to any friends/family.”
“Rebeca was amazing with our dog Maggie! She sent pics and updates throughout the week, and we were able to relax knowing she was in great hands! We’ll absolutely hire Rebeca again in the future!”
“Francois is everything you could want in a pet sitter. He’s very obviously a true animal lover — kind and caring — and he’s very responsible. We left our 4 month old Airedale puppy with him for 4 nights while we went overseas, and it was such a comfort to have Francois send us regular updates and photos showing what a lovely time he and Biggles were having. If you are looking for a loving home-away-from-home for your pet, you have found it. Thank you, Francois!!”
“Erin was a wonderful dogsitter for my doodle, Rey! She was very communicative and super flexible, even going out of her way to pick her up and drop her off. And even though they only spent a couple of days together, Rey clearly loved her time with Erin, as she snuggled up to her and didn’t want her to leave. I’ll definitely be booking Erin again!”
“Jessica and Amie did an excellent job with caring for my dog Sydney while I was out of town for a weekend trip! They have a very genuine love and respect for dogs and Syd connected with them right away. I know that she felt safe in their home and got all the care and attention that she needed. Would definitely book with them again!”
“Xiuping and her family took care of my dog over the weekend for me- it was such a pleasure! My dog had a great time and the communication was so smooth and pleasant. I will book again!”
About: I am a true animal lover! I have had 2 Labrador’s since I can remember and can confidently say they have taught me everything I need to know about dogs. My schedule is extremely flexible as I am just beginning grad school. I will be free for pet care most week days and some weekends. Every animal is different, they’ll have different types and amounts of food, different play routines and for these I would refer to the owner on how they care for their animal and provide that same quality of care for their pet.
“Emily & Daniel watched my pup for an extended time and were absolutely phenomenal. Great communication and care, and it’s obvious Ace has fun and is happy :)”
“Lee was great !!! Always sent picture and video updates throughout his stay . My dog had a great time and I would definitely book Lee whenever I needed him !!! I highly recommend him !!”
“Katheryn was absolutely amazing with her care of our two greyhounds. She was very communicative and attentive to their needs. I highly recommend her and her husband and will trust her with our pets any time! Thank you!”
“Jackie watched our very high energy dog over while we were getting married and did an amazing job with him! We didn't have to worry for a second about whether or not he was in good hands which truly allowed us to focus on our big day. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Essie had another great stay with Nitzan's family! We received updates and photos while away, and they were very flexible with drop off and pick up. Essie didn't want to leave!”
“Luci and her family were so great with our Charlie! Pictures and updates every day made us very comfortable with leaving him behind! They were awesome. Highly recommend!!”

Tiffany took SUCH great care of our puppy. We dropped off our very energetic 8 month old with Tiffany for a weekend while we went out of town and we knew our pup was in great hands. This was our first time leaving her with a sitter so we were unsure what to expect. Tiffany made us feel so confident and comfy and sent lots of pics. She clearly knows what she’s doing and truly loves dogs.
The care that Shriya and her husband Shay gave our cats was absolutely outstanding. They went above and beyond to make sure our cats were loved and well-cared for during their 7-week stay with them. The communication was very clear and we received lots of photos and info about our cats, Shriya was always responsive and helpful, and all of their help really made the complicated travel arrangements to Spain much easier. We are extremely grateful for all of their help, and especially all of the love that our cats got. It was clear when we picked them up that they received just as much love and kindness during those 7 weeks as they were used to receiving from us. We recommend them without reservation, you will have the highest level of care for your pets!
Fernanda took such good care of our pup. This was our first time leaving him with a sitter for multiple days. She did everything to make us feel at ease. She sent regular updates with pictures and videos, she took our dog to the dog park to play and she spent plenty of time playing with him at her place too. Our pup had a great time with her, I think he was sad to come back to us 😂 we would highly recommend Fernanda to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Hunter took great care of my dog Maizie while he was in her care for 2.5 weeks. She is very communicative and provided frequent updates on Maizie. Maizie had a great time and enjoyed playing with her dogs as well! I would use Hunter again for future boarding and I would also recommend Hunter to any one looking for any dog services!
Erin was a wonderful dogsitter for my doodle, Rey! She was very communicative and super flexible, even going out of her way to pick her up and drop her off. And even though they only spent a couple of days together, Rey clearly loved her time with Erin, as she snuggled up to her and didn’t want her to leave. I’ll definitely be booking Erin again!
We recently traveled to Italy and left or dog Nellie with Linda. Nellie has stayed with Linda prior to this visit so when we arrived Nellie was quite excited to see her which tells us that she is happy at Linda’s home. This definitely helps us to not feel so guilty about leaving her. Everyday Linda checked in with us on how things were going with Nellie, she included both photos and a note. Linda is a very kind and caring person, we feel very grateful and lucky to have her in our lives. Thank you Linda!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.
