Let me know if you would like your dog to run, walk, or just hangout. Happy to have our dogs meet up ahead of time if you would like.

We love taking Mango on long walks in the morning and after work, and shorter walks in the afternoon and just before bed. We like to play fetch and practice doing tricks with treats.

Pet care experience

Hello! We just moved from New York to Cambridge. We have a four year old female black lab mix named Mango with tons of energy and lots of love! Mango is always friendly with all dogs & people. She really loves to play so your dog will get plenty of socialization and exercise with her. Ellen is going to HBS and Andrew can work from home full time, so one of us is always around. We have been doing rover for 3+ years so have a ton of experience providing care :)

Andrew and Ellen took such good care of Millie! I could tell when dropping her off that Millie felt comfortable and would be well looked after. We received so many photos and updates it was amazing — would absolutely book them again and highly recommend!

Andrew was very easy to plan with and very communicative. I am new to using the app, and he put me and my family at ease! Highly Recommend!

Our dog Stevie is a loving dog but she is nervous likely due to the fact that she is a rescue. Andrew did an amazing job of being thoughtful in her walk and treated her with the utmost thoughtfulness.
