“Alyssa was amazing for my dog and me. Highly recommend. I had a last minute business trip and she was able to drop in to save the evening and walk Louie while I was out of town. And it was her first walk with us. She knew just what to ask during the meet and greet and then again right before the walk to make it be a success for her, me and most importantly Louie! Thx!!!!”
“Alyssa is amazing! She took care of Emilio, my cat, while I was away. Communication was great, and she helped me clean after, which is always appreciated. Thank you !”
“Great cat sitter. Nadine was highly reliable and was able to care for our elderly cat. She made it a breeze to train her on the cat's med schedule and quirky nature. Highly recommend.”
“Sue is wonderful! We completely trust her with our pup and the keys to our home. She has watched Riley a few times and always sends lots of photos and he is always so happy to see her. Thank you Sue!!”
“Megan was amazing with our cat Roxy! Roxy takes a little while to warm up to people and Megan was SO great with her. She’s the first sitter that our cat has been really comfortable with. Megan was also quick to respond to any messages and left very detailed visit summaries with great pictures. I would definitely recommend Megan as a pet sitter-she was fantastic!”
“Emily was fantastic! She has a very calming demeanor and was so patient with my active dog! She really kept me in the loop when I was away with updates and pictures of my dog, and made sure he was well cared for! Emily is a competent, trustworthy, reliable and warm dog sitter whom I highly recommend!”
“Scooting is typical of Mae, inconsistent but common. Ill keep an eye on her, it could be a sign of a vaginal issue. Thanks for your help today. My train back to Boston, 30 minutes in, is heading back to NY due to an electrical issue. If this turns out to be an issue that requires me to stay in NY tonight, would you be available tomorrow AM to walk and feed them? I dont want to confirm any plans until I know what Amtrak is going to do. I’ll request the booking through Rover when I know.”
“Adelle was amazing! So great with the cats, left great messages and took photos every day, and had no issues administering medicine to my temperamental cat! Would 100% book again”
“Stitches’ tail doesn’t wiggle for just anybody—but with Julia, it never stops! He can instantly sense her great energy, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy he feels around her. She’s so patient, caring, and attentive with him, and even in just 30 minutes, she makes such a positive difference in his day. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Julia is truly amazing with him, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and sitter! 🐾”
“Jessica was great! Booked a drop-in with short notice. She was responsive, flexible, and showed a care and understanding for my pooch's well-being as well as any concerns I had”

“Maria was amazing! Murphy is anxious around new people so can sometimes be difficult but she was patient with him - exactly what he needs! She was on time and made sure to send me pictures of Muprhy on their walk. So nice to have someone be able to let Murphy out and know he’s being well taken care of!”
“Claudia is an amazing pet sitter. She's incredibly considerate of our skittish kitty. Giving her plenty of time and space to get comfortable. Thanks to her, Smokie, our adult cat, is in wonderful hands when we're away. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Hannah is responsive, dependable, and flexible. She took care my chinchillas and birds while I was away and was good with communication. I will definitely contact her again when I’m out next time.”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover and animal person. I grew up riding horses and spent years at the barn caring for the horses, dogs, and cats. I've had my own dogs and taken care of other people's. I would love to take your dog for walks and spoil them with love! I am also licensed in my town and have pet sitting insurance outside of Rover's insurance. I have a flexible job and work from home most days. I can fit in walks or be around the house with your dog. I have a secure and good sized fenced in yard and live near a dog park as well if your dog is okay with other dogs. I balance spoiling dogs with lots of love, treats, and pats with making sure dogs get whatever individual care they need including feedings, exercise, and medications if needed.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9, and probably even younger! I grew up with a Black Lab who was the sweetest boy. I took care of him throughout his life - bringing him on walks multiple times a day, feeding him, cleaning up after him, and always playing and spending time with him. I have also taken care of my friends’ dogs whenever they were away and needed someone to check in! I’m currently in studying in college in Boston but am very flexible on weekends, along with Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 12pm once I finish classes. I spent 14 years living with my dog and understand what it takes to create a safe and clean space for dogs! I am very attentive and I’ll be able to keep your dog safe. When I get back home after walking dogs I play with them for a bit, make sure they have plenty of water, and do whatever the client asks of me!

Marina was absolutely incredible to our cats! She was very attentive to detail, took notes on everything, and our cats loved her instantly. Her communication was top-notch, and she sent us a ton of amazing photos and updates that gave us complete peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely cared about our cats, and they felt it. We highly recommend Marina and will absolutely be booking her again in the future!
Michelle was amazing with my two Frenchies! She took the time to learn their personalities and quirks and gave them doting attention when she visited. She also provided a lot of video and photo content, which I greatly appreciated while I was away. I could tell they were so happy with her!
Bryana was an amazing for the drop in visits for my old lady Pumpkin. They were super responsive and the updates they provided were so cute and informative. They also went above and beyond making sure my cat was comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again the next time I travel.
My kitties LOVE J and I thoroughly trust her with them. I needed last minute care and medication administration and she took excellent care of both my adult cat and kitten. She stays in touch, sends great updates and I hope to have her hang with my cats again!
Longfei and Luning were absolutely amazing with Carl! From the moment I left, they made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and attentive hands. They spent time playing with him, giving him attention, and making sure he felt comfortable and happy while I was away from home. It was clear they genuinely cared about him and treated him like their own. I really appreciated the updates and the extra effort they put into making the experience stress-free for both Carl and me. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and thoughtful pet care!
My cats love Alyssa! She is attentive to their varying needs: playing with them, giving them treats, petting them on the floor. I really appreciate her photo updates and how she tells me when food/litter is running low, so that my cats always have what they need.
