“I really cant say enough about how amazing Shawn was! She was so helpful as we were leaving our dog home alone overnight for the first time and also using Rover for the first time. She was super communicative, had so many great suggestions for how to arrange visits, and answered all our questions in detail. She is very professional and you can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she watches. Would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

“Jazmin was great as always! When I was worried about something a bit off with the cats, she made a point to keep me updated to help ease my worry and spend a bit more time with them. Will continue to rebook :)”
“Cathalina went above and beyond. She communicated well, was very reliable, and let me know whenever anything unusual came up. I appreciated the peace of mind she provided.”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life! I have a ton of experience not only taking care of my dog, Josie, but also walking dogs, pet-sitting, feeding dogs and taking them to dog parks. Safety is my #1 priority (and fun of course!) I'm super flexible and work from home so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pup :) I typically work from home (in Medford) on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, and I am available on weekends. I have flexibility to take your dog out throughout the day for walks, bathroom breaks, to the dog park, etc! I live in the Tufts area of Medford and have a bike for clients further away so I can provide multiple visits throughout the day! Safety is my number one priority when taking care of pets. I always make sure pets have enough exercise, play and relaxing time. I’m very communicative and tend to send at least 1 picture per day to the owners when dogsitting or walking!
“Caitlin is a cat whisperer! I’m so glad she was able to watch our cat while we were away. She was able to give him liquid medication and wrote detailed notes and sent lots of cute photos while we are away. We will definitely book her again.”
“Ari was amazing; we needed last minute cat sitting, and he was able to stop by on short notice, learned each cat’s specific routine very quickly, and even helped out when our flight was delayed. I appreciated the regular updates and responsive communication during our trip. I would not hesitate to rebook with Ari and definitely recommend him for any cat sitting needs!”
About: Soon-to-be certified dog groomer at Petco! Through my job, I've worked with a lot of different dogs and have learned to adjust to many of their behavioral quirks, so difficult behavior is no challenge I can't handle. I’m also good with cats! My schedule is flexible, as I only work part-time. Starting in the fall, I will return to being a student, so my schedule will open up even more! Always available on weekends and holidays. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priorities! My experience adjusting to various dog behavior helps me provide the loving and secure environment your pup deserves.
“I was super happy with the support we received from Alissa! From the start, she was very responsive and helped answer my questions about the process/next steps. We had her stop by and watch our cat for 30 minutes over 3 days. She was great with our cat and we'd certainly work with her again!”
About: I care for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors! I can take your dog hiking, jogging, or for slow strolls around the neighborhood. Pups are welcome on furniture and bed if that's something you like :) they will be spoiled with love while staying with me! I'm a teacher, so I am home by early afternoon every day, and can take your pup for morning, afternoon, evening and late night walks. Weekends I am around all day to love and care for them. I have a comfy second floor apartment in Medford, near many parks. When dogs stay here, they are welcome on the sofa and bed, and will get lots of cuddles and affection. I also have experience with crates if that is what owners prefer! When sitting in the clients home, I usually follow the dogs on their favorite walks around the neighborhood:) I can be as firm or as laid back as owners prefer.
About: I grew up with two golden retrievers and have experience with every age from puppy to senior. I also have experience walking dogs of all sizes, from toy chihuahua to Newfoundland! I am an all-around animal lover, and in addition to household pets I also have experience with horse training and care. I currently work a full time in-person job on weekdays from 7:00am to 3:30pm. I can provide care any time after work and on weekends, and can travel to work from anywhere I may be staying. I unfortunately cannot accommodate any animals in my current apartment as I have three roommates and a cat who very much enjoys being an only child. However I am more than happy to travel to you for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays.
About: I’ve been lucky to have dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and they’ve brought me more joy than I ever could have imagined. Throughout my life, I’ve had hands-on experience raising and training puppies, as well as providing compassionate care during their later years. While I currently don’t have a dog of my own—due to apartment restrictions—I’m excited to offer my services through Rover to care for dogs just as I would my own. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting, and I’m eager to bring my experience and love for animals to help your dog feel comfortable and well cared for in your absence! I am completely free on the weekends and can bring your dog for car rides or out to a hiking trail. I work from home Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and have a flexible schedule. You can count on me to ensure your dog’s safety and well-being. I’m experienced in administering medications, following specific dietary guidelines, and handling any crate training or management needs.
“Greg did a fantastic job caring for our kittens while we were on vacation! We appreciate the thorough updates and photos he sent during each visit. It was comforting to know our boys were in good hands!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always shared a love for them. I live with a puppy now and am a reliable pet sitter! My work schedule varies weekly. However when I am not working I am home so have a lot of flexibility to help you and your pets. I am a very respectful, loving dog walker. I grew up with dogs and have always shared a love for them. When walking them they will always be treated with respect.

Isabel F.
“I have lived with Isabel for 5 years and can speak to her responsibility and reliability. We also co-parent a small animal together and Isabel is usually the one to feed her and play with her. Most importantly though, I have seen Isabel care for her dog, a golden retriever named Josie. Isabel knows when Josie needs something and will immediately get it for her. They go on long walks and play together a lot. Isabel is an animal person and it is clear that animals are drawn to her too! I would trust Isabel with all FIVE of my dogs at once - she is the best.”

I trust her to handle walking small dogs (like my bichon) and larger dogs like her own, and even has the skill to walk two larger dogs at once! She pays attention to the little things, like if dogs look happy and healthy, and can handle things from tangled fur to splinters. She's also great with people and will provide excellent communication while she cares for your furry friend. I hope you choose her!”
