“Ashley was awesome! As a new puppy parent, you’re always worried about your first time with the dog walker and someone taking care of your baby when you’re not home but Ashley took all my worries away! she was communicative, and got all the energy out of my little one! Everything you could want in a dog walker! Will definitely be requesting Ashleys help again!”
About: I live a very active lifestyle, so I would be able to give your pet an excellent level of activity, comfort, and care. I’ve always believed pets thrive when they stay engaged and exercised, and I’m here to make sure your dog gets just that. Whether your dog needs a brisk jog, a fun play session, or a calm walk around the neighborhood, I match their energy.. and more! I treat every pet like my own and their safety + happiness are my top priorities. I’m only working part-time right now, so I have plenty of room around my schedule to work with your pets. I have the most time in the morning and late afternoon/early evening, so I can even house sit for your pet! I treat all pets with respect and I give full attention to their needs and routine. I’m a quick learner, so if there’s any particular instruction that needs to be addressed, I will adapt to that with ease.
“Stephanie did a great job with my cat Pepper. She was very communicative the entire time and made sure that everything was taken care of while I was away. Thank you so much Stephanie!”
“Sophia was wonderful with my cat 🐈⬛ Kali! During her cat sitting home visits, she was meticulous, attentive, and kept track of all the necessary details. I really appreciated her timely updates and thoughtful care. What amazed me most was how quickly Kali, who’s usually quite shy, warmed up to her. Sophia is truly a cat whisperer, and I’m so grateful for the love and care she provided!”
“Lily was amazing! Callie is usually shy and stressed with new people. Her and lily bonded instantly. Simba is so playful he appreciated all the attention. And we LOVED all the pics, really made our trip that much better. 10/10 would recommend Lily, and will be using her for future trips!”
“Jenna did a fantastic job with my kitten, Olive. She sent lots of pictures and made sure she was happy and well cared for while I was away. This was my first time leaving my kitten and Jenna made me feel that she was extremely competent in caring for Olive. Will definitely request again the next time I’m on vacation!”
“Thank you so much for all of your help and sweet messages while we were gone, Robbie! The house looked fabulous when we returned and the cats are happy. Will 100% be booking again if you’re available next time we’re out of town!”
“Tiffanie was great with Rhys!! She made sure to keep me updated and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend her!”
“We really appreciated Quinn coming to check in on our 1 year old cat, Ziggy, for the 4th of July while we were on a hiking trip. While we didn’t have service, we appreciated her updates and pictures when we got back. We would use her again to watch Ziggy!”
About: (Promo code ISABEC18963 for $20 off your first booking with Rover!) I have 3 dogs at home, and I miss them so much! In my house, I share responsibility with my family for feeding our dogs, grooming them, and walking them (I often walk all three at the same time) on hikes. Our dogs are all mixed breeds, and we've had all three since they were puppies, so I'm comfortable with dogs of any breed and age. I would be thrilled to share my love for dogs with yours! Up until Labor Day weekend, I am free any time, any day, except Tuesday afternoons. After that, when my fall semester starts, I am free all day Thursdays, 12-2 on other weekdays, and all day on the weekends. In Boston, I don't have any pets as they aren't allowed in my building, but I know my way around the neighborhoods here, and I'd be happy to walk your dogs or visit them in your homes!
“Katherine was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, sending me photos and detailed updates every day. My cat is old and sassy and doesn’t really like people - but she liked Katherine! Definitely would recommend and trust.”
“Paul has worked with us for 4 months with regular visits on a weekly basis and he is absolutely wonderful. You could not ask for a more professional, reliable, and kind person to take care of your dog. He had seen us through small puppy stage to adolescence with our black lab, and he was communicative and flexible through them all. He’s truly a fantastic sitter/walker and you would be lucky to have him.”
“Sasha has been so great with Benben! She has been helping us out by looking after Benben for multiple times already. Every time Sasha sent us detailed pictures and I come back home to see a healthy happy cat. Highly recommend”
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for animals—including multiple cats and a beloved dog growing up—I understand the unique personalities and needs of both feline and canine companions. I currently share my home with a sweet cat, and I treat every pet I care for like family. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some comforting company, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care. I currently work full time (hybrid) as an accountant and am open to discussing a schedule that works best for you and your pet! On typical work from home days and weekends I am flexible with pet care throughout the day, and office days I am available before 7:30 am and after 5:30 pm. I value pets safety and would carefully follow instructions and limitations/resources for each pet within their home. We have an indoor cat and I understand the importance of keeping them safe!
“Kevin checked in on my cat several times while I was out of town and did a wonderful job! In the past, I've come home to a very anxious and under-weight kitty after being gone, but this time she was so much calmer and healthier when I returned home. I would absolutely recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a cat-sitter!”
About: I’ve always been the one who my family members trust to care for their dogs whenever they are out of town for an extended period of time or if they simply need a night out. I also have had 2 consistent clients for the past 5 years who have entrusted me to overnight pet sit for their dogs. I am a full-time college student who has flexible weekday and weekend availability. I love outdoor activities like walking around the city as well as just kicking back and spending time indoors. I love any time spent caring for pets! When you entrust me to care for your pet, I will communicate with you by sending updates as well as feeding, spending time with, and walking your pet. I am also willing to stay overnight upon request.

ELIZABETH H.
“My family has a small Chihuahua named Stella who is about 14 years old, she is a member of our family and can be skittish to strangers. We hired Elizabeth to watch her for a week while we were away and she treated Stella with the outmost love and care. Stella was quick to trust Elizabeth, sitting in her lap almost immediately. We got daily updates as to how she was doing and even a video of her having fun at the dog park. Elizabeth made us feel comfortable and at ease while being away as we knew Stella was in great hands. Elizabeth has a wonderful caring heart and we look forward to using her in the future for all doggie needs. You can count on her to take great care of any furry friend you have.”

Mit pet parents share their Rover experiences
Julie was great with our two cats. We haven't left them for more than a couple days in quite some time so it was a huge relief to find someone who was so great at sending us check-in messages and pics of them while we were away. She was easy to work with and we would definitely contact her again if we need TLC for our felines!
Robbie did a truly amazing job watching my cats! I was new to Rover and get very nervous leaving my cats, but Robbie made me feel so at ease with her consistent communication and picture updates. She has the best energy and is so kind, my cats loved her! Would definitely rebook and recommend her to anyone!
Chelsea was incredibly professional and trustworthy, and her thorough Rover Cards and open communication eased all of our worries. After our meet and greet, we felt fully confident in Chelsea’s preparedness and her wealth of experience. We look forward to using her services again and would highly recommend to anyone.
Samantha continues to do a fantastic job taking care of my senior kitty. She not only stuck to my cat’s medication schedule and made sure that she was fed, but spent time with her made sure my kitty got lots of attention and pets. I can definitely recommend Samantha to anyone who is looking for a reliable cat sitter!
Willow did such a great job looking after our queen! She came in advance to do a meet and greet and we knew it was a good sign when our 17-year old cat came right out to say hello. Willow asked all the right questions and we felt we were in good hands. All throughout our time away she sent tons of pictures and updates each day. She even shared potential concerns we hadn't specifically mentioned just in case they were things we wanted to know. We would for sure try to work with Willow again!
