“Donna is amazing with our dogs and our house! She is truly a special sitter and you’d be lucky to have her! She took very good care of our two pups while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks. She diligently cared for them and also watched over our house! On top of that, she’s a wonderful person and we highly recommend her!”

“Sarah was perfect for us! We have an elderly cat and dog and she catered to both of their needs and eccentricities so that we could go on a short trip without worrying about them. We will definitely be calling her back in the future!”

“Caroline was a great pet sitter! The dogs were happy and the house was spotless when we got home from our trip. Appreciate all her hard work, even taking the dogs outside during a snowstorm! Planning to hire again immediately. Highly recommended.”

“Sara was amazing! Our 11 month old Violet loved her immediately. We asked her short notice, to stay a few extra hours and she was super accommodating and responsive. Can't say enough positive things about our experience. Will definitely use again!”

“Alana was great! She stayed at our home for a week while we were away and cared for our boxer and other assorted small animals. She gave thorough updates daily, and we returned home to a happy pup and and clean and well cared for house. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Nicole helped me out in a big way while I was away at a wedding! I got adorable pictures of my pup and was very happy to hear she took the time to let her warm up. Will definitely rebook with Nicole again, highly recommend!”

“Caroline is a total superstar! We hired Caroline to watch our puppy, Rogers, over Super Bowl weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rogers is a high-energy ball of hyper puppy power, but Caroline handled them like a seasoned pro. Here’s why they are the best: Punctuality: Caroline actually arrived early to make sure they had the lay of the land before we left. Communication: They were incredibly easy to coordinate with and super responsive from start to finish. Peace of Mind: We loved the frequent photo updates and check-ins! It was so reassuring to see Rogers having a blast while we were out. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and great with energetic dogs, book Caroline. Rogers is already looking forward to their next "vacation" with Caroline!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our two dogs received! From the very beginning, Creddida was professional, communicative, and clearly experienced with handling multiple dogs at once. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which really made us feel relaxed while we were away. It was obvious our dogs were not only well cared for but genuinely happy and healthy! We highly recommend Creddida to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking again!”

“Juliette was thoughtful, attentive, and attuned to my pet babies( a kitten and 1 year old dog). I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I enjoyed the daily photos abd updates and she was all around a lovely and compassionate person.”

“Victoria (Rev) did a fantastic job and I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. She was easy to communicate with prior to & during her stay and sent frequent updates and pictures of the pups. She stayed in my home & left it very clean- She even took out the trash which I didn’t expect her to do annd appreciated. My pups are kind of high maintenance (2 Maltese) & Rev did a fantastic job taking care of them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”

“We just had Charlene care for our cats during a long weekend getaway, and once again she exceeded our expectations! Charlene is our trusted go-to cat sitter because she treats our pets like her own. She’s incredibly thorough with the daily essentials - keeping litter boxes spotless, ensuring fresh water and food are always available - but what really stands out is her genuine love for animals. Both of our cats (even the super skittish one!) clearly enjoy her visits and the quality time she spends with them. It’s such a relief to travel knowing the furry family members are in such capable and caring hands. Charlene’s consistency and dependability have earned our complete trust, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her to fellow pet parents!”

“I am a bit of a nervous dog mom when it comes to leaving my fur babies with anyone...Understatement...my pups are needy and full of character. Jess was AMAZING! She was so sensitive to what each dog needed. She communicated with me when necessary in a thoughtful manner. I have total confidence leaving my fur babies with her again!”

“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”

“Lani was great. She was responsive, responsible and reliable. She came when she said she would, took care of the pups attentively and kept me posted. I felt comfortable that my dogs were in good hands.”


About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have four dogs at home in Wisconsin (golden retriever, black lab, and two German shepherds!). I miss them a whole bunch and would love the opportunity to hang out and take care of any dogs! As a recent college graduate, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays throughout most weekdays and weekends. I love spending time with dogs and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s specific routine whenever possible. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and following owner instructions carefully. I’ll treat your pet like my own, providing a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.
“I couldn't have asked for a sweeter and more caring sitter than Claudia!! Our fur-baby is our angel and she absolutely ADORED Claudia the moment she met her - my heart overflowed with relief and happiness knowing Claudia would be caring for her. Thank you for everything, Claudia!!!!”

“Olivia house sat for us this past week and took great care of our two 3-yr old kitties! We can tell the kitties were well taken care of by how much they cuddled up to her. We would definitely recommend Olivia!”


About: I have been around dogs my entire childhood, and I have had three of my own throughout my life. I grew up training, walking, cleaning, and playing with dogs every day. I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to make house visits! I am an athlete with different training each day, so I can be pretty flexible with my availability throughout the week. I am generally available on week nights and can check in on your dog multiple times each day. I can care for your dog by letting them outside during your preferred times, taking them for walks, cleaning them, and playing with them. I am able to work with multiple dogs as well!
“Chloe was absolutely amazing! We did a meet and greet before the weekend, which really put me at ease. She was super attentive, stuck to my pups schedule and gave her all the cuddles she wanted. My pup is strong and has a few quirks, but Chloe handled everything with so much patience and care. She most certainly knows how to handle strong dogs & has knowledge with reactivity and redirecting. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and I couldn’t be more grateful! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”

“Isabella is amazing! She got back to us so fast and was willing to watch Cali last minute for us for 6 days. This was our first time leaving Cali with someone other than family and you could tell by all the photos Cali had the best week! She was so loved and cared for! Isabella sends photos/updates daily that gave us confidence Cali was in the best hands. We already have plans to have Isabella watch Cali again soon! Highly highly recommend Isabella, would give 10 stars if we could!”

Needham Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caroline H. was great! I really appreciated that she reached out a few days in advance so I felt confident there would be no hiccups on the start date. I also appreciated that she stripped the bed and started the washing machine with her sheets and towels before we came home. She was understanding when, after the wedding, I was delayed and my brother and his wife arrived back at the house before me. But most importantly, I could tell she treated our dog well while were were away!

I do not think there are enough positive words I can give for Colleen and how big of a help she was for me and Macy! She goes above and beyond, sends loads of pictures and updates, treats your dog as her own, and l will DEFINITELY be requesting her for all of my future dog sitting needs!! Absolutely amazing experience!

Kathryn is amazing! Stayed in our house and watched our two mini dachshunds. Walked them multiple times a day and sent twice daily updates and photos. We are so grateful to have no worries for our pups while Kathrynnis here - highest praise and recommendation!

Cressida was amazing! Lovely to work with and did a terrific job looking after Molly and the house. This was the first time we left our new dog overnight and Cressida kept us up to date with how they were doing, asked questions when she needed things I had forgotten to mention, and it all went great.

Savanna is a gem! We are so fortunate to have found and met her through Rover. She stayed with our three-yes, 3! English labs and one special little fish for seven nights. We came home to find them all very happy and clearly well taken care of. Plus our house looked like no one had been here, but better! She is a reliable, thoughtful, and warm caretaker.
