About: I grew up with pet dogs, but fell in love with cats too after catsitting for a friend for several weeks! My own dog recently passed away (I adopted her as a senior but we had three wonderful years together) and I would love to continue to spend time with and take care of beloved pets. I work full-time, but my evenings and weekends are free. I'm also an early bird, so pre-work visits are also possible. I have a monthly bus pass, an e-scooter, and a car, so it will be no problem for me to get to you! I will treat your beloved pets like they are my own! We will adhere to the same schedule/regimen/rules they live by when you are home.

Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!

About: I have always been a huge lover of dogs and cats and have experience caring for my family and friend’s pets. I have also owned a fish tank for a few years and am knowledgeable on tank care. I have a decent amount of weekday and weekend availability outside of school and am happy to help care for your pets in any way that I can! Outside of school and work I have a decent amount of free time both during week days and weekends to check in, walk, feed, or play your pets. However, I do work a rotating schedule so the specific days of the week that I am free vary each week. Because of this, I won’t be able to commit to a recurring weekly booking at this time. I live in the Brookline area where there is a lot of green space for dog walking / outdoor play. I am also comfortable making home visits to check in on pets.

Emily was an incredible dog/house sitter, taking care of my elder pup Rosie like she was her own. She gave her daily meds, provided photo updates, contacted me when she had questions, and even helped out one of my neighbors! So grateful!

If we could give Yanira 10 shining stars, we would! Yanira took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper in our home. Yanira arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Yanira sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Our house, BTW, was immaculate. Yanira has our highest recommendations, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Yanira!!!!!

About: I used to work for a doggy daycare in Brookline and have had plenty of experience with a lot of different kinds of dogs. I have also been dog sitting for my brother for years and have watched many family pets. I can read dogs well and I know how to keep them happy and healthy I will keep a good eye on your pet as long as I am there. I can help whenever I am available! I love to be outside and get exercise with pets I follow all the rules of the pet owners household and keep a good eye on the pet. I can feed them, take them for walks and play with them as much as needed

She sent us many, many pictures with updates throughout the days we were away and went out of her way to coordinate with our families as I had undergone an emergency surgery and couldn’t make it back in time. Simply put, Rev is the bestest!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Melissa from Rover. She took amazing care of our dog Luna, who was recovering from knee surgery and needed special attention. Melissa followed our instructions for Luna’s physical therapy three times a day, and kept us updated with photos and messages through the Rover app, which really gave us peace of mind. On top of that, she stayed at our house while we were away and left it spotless. We even came home to a sweet note and a flower on the counter. Melissa truly went above and beyond, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Chloe did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two dogs (Nala, a one year old golden retriever and Maui, an almost six year old, lab mix) while we were away. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with handling pets. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. One thing that really stood out was how quickly our dog Maui—who is usually very picky about people—gravitated toward her right away. That alone spoke volumes about Chloe’s calm, trustworthy presence and natural connection with animals. It’s obvious that Chloe genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and she treated ours like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. We are already thinking about leaving again so the dogs can hang out with Chloe.
