About: I’ve been around dogs for over a decade—starting with my family dog and now as the owner of a rescue dog of my own. Most of my experience has been with smaller dogs (25 lbs or less), but I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I regularly walk my dog around Newton and Cold Spring Park, and I’m familiar with local dog parks (both fenced and off-leash). I prioritize safe, attentive walks and make sure each dog gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering oral medication, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle care. As a Rover user myself, I know how important trust and communication are. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care. I’m a great fit for busy working professionals and families who need reliable, thoughtful support, as well as for senior dogs or lower-energy pets who benefit from a calm, consistent environment. To ensure the highest level of attention and comfort, I care for one dog or cat at a time. I work from home most days, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for drop-in visits or walks around lunchtime, and again in the late afternoon and evening after the kids are done with school or camp. I enjoy building time into my day to give pets the attention, consistency, and care they need—and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I approach pet care with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and trust. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, or favorite activities. I’m attentive on walks (leash safety, awareness of surroundings) and make sure pets are secure at all times. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and supervised environment. I’m mindful of creating a safe space and ensuring pets feel at ease. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have spent a lot of time taking care of my own dog, and while I do not have professional pet care experience, I learned a lot from taking care of her. When she got older I got used to carrying her down stairs, walking her, soothing her in the car, and feeding her her special meal. I have also looked after my neighbor’s dog over the years, who is very sweet and requires a lot of attention. I am working from home this summer, so my schedule is quite flexible and I would love to fill my days with caring for dogs. I would make sure to pay attention to each dog’s specific need. Every dog is different, so I would listen to their owner’s advice if they shared any. I would make sure that on hot days the dogs would have plenty of water.

About: Hello! I am a recent Wellesley College graduate but I come from a big family in Austin, Texas. I've looked after dogs, cats, plants, and plenty of farm animals. I adore animals and have two dogs of my own back home. I have great communication and I am willing to send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. I read and respond to signals that animals give attentively so your pets will be in great hands! I am looking forward to caring for your homes and pets. I am currently looking for jobs before starting grad school in the fall. I babysit occasionally, but I am often not away for more than 3-5 hours. My home is currently being renovated so I will not be hosting any pets there at the moment. I am happy to consider in home pet care after renovations are finished.

“Jana started with us this month and has done a wonderful job taking care of our elderly Frenchies. Jana is communicative and takes feedback well, and she’s willing to go the extra mile when we’ve asked for specific things. Highly recommend!”

“Julia was great! Totally reliable, pleasant and kind. Our dog can be wary around new people, but he warmed up to her just about instantly. She knows how to work with “nervous” mutts. I’ll definitely request her again if I need a dog walker.”

About: I am new to Rover, but I have been caring for dogs and even horses for many years. I used to dog-walk and pet-sit for my neighbors in high school. I am currently a senior in college and have been taking care of animals in my apartment building for some time. I grew up with a pomeranian mix, whom I helped train. I have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes, as well as special needs. I am happy to do a meet and greet with your pet and answer any and all questions you may have! I am currently a college student, and I am only in class 1.5-4 hours a day (Monday-Thursday). I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to spend a lot of time with the pets I look after and give them frequent walks. I am also home a lot of the day to hang out with them! I am happy to come to your home or look after your dog in my apartment. I have an apartment with a fenced-in dog area and plenty of trails for walks. I have had many dogs stay with me in my apartment, and I would be happy to share photos of where your dog would be staying if you board with me!

About: I have lived in Newton, MA all of my life and know some great trails and hikes for an awesome long walk for your pup! I have taken care of my Australian Shepherd, Dakota, and have worked alongside my mom in boarding dogs for over 6 years. I am a reliable and trusting caretaker and prioritize the needs of each individual dog in regards to their energy level, health, age, and comfort levels with people and public situations. I have a strong love for dogs and care about giving them the best possible care. I am available for long walks for high energy dogs, or walks around the neighborhood and check ins for when you are away. I look forward to taking good care of your pup! I am currently working part time as I prepare for law school to start in the fall, so I will have lots of time to care for a pet! I will be able to provide many walks during the day, and give my undivided attention! I live in a house with a fully fenced large backyard, and across the street from the carriage lane on commonwealth ave. My home is very pet friendly.
