“Anne was Great! She was very communicative and sent a bunch of pics. She knew I was nervous leaving my new puppy for the first time but she made me feel like she cared. And my pup seems to like her!”
2. Ani T.
“Ani was in great communication before the booking and made sure she had all the info to take care of my cat. My cat can be pretty skittish and came right out to be pet, and she’s the most important judge! I’ll definitely use Ani next time I go away!”
3. Anna P.
“Anna did a great job stepping when I had to travel last minute. She was communicative and thoughtful, even bringing a couple packages inside for me. I will definitely book her again!”
4. Carol O.
“Carol does a wonderful job caring for our senior pup and two guinea pigs. This is the second time she's watched them while we've traveled. Carol is fantastic giving the animals care and attention, including medicating our dog two times a day.”
5. Sue B.
“Sue was fantastic. She took great care of my dog and took plenty of pictures. She even went above and beyond and put on his doggy sweater as she noticed he was cold. I highly recommend using Sue. Thank you!!”

8. Danielle D.
“Danielle took great care of our cat. She’s very communicative and quick to respond. She was friendly during our meet and greet and sent photos of our pet while we were gone. He doesn’t need any special care but she took care of all the basics for us. I felt that our kitty was in good hands and i would book with her again!”
9. Leanne K.
“Leanna was a wonderful cat companion for our one year old kitty! She was super responsive and easy to work with, learning all the intricacies of our cat- sent great photos and had no trouble with the instructions we gave (we gave way too many lol). She gave our little fur friend all the brushes and love he needed to be a happy dude, we look forward to having her come by again!”
10. Sarah J.
“Sarah was terrific with our pups while we were gone for the day. She took them for a walk then came back and gave them dinner. We got cute pics each time.”
11. Meredith E.
“Meredith is a young professional who loves animals. Her living situation right now does not allow her to own her own pet, so caring for someone else’s pet would bring her joy. She is responsible, dependable and caring. You’d be a lucky dog to have her care for your pet. 😀”

“Hello, Sarah has been my friend for at least 25 years. Sarah is kind, responsible, and very professional - she has worked in the higher levels of corporate America for her entire career and she now teaches a few courses at Boston University. Sarah is also an animal lover. She has had pet cats ever since I've known her, and she treats animals with the love and respect they deserve. You would do well to bring her into Rover so that she can spread her love to more animals.”

16. Deirdre M.
“Deirdre took amazing care of my dog and cat while I was away for the weekend. She was timely, reported every trip and even sent along photos to show my animals were in good care! When there was a medical situation, she informed me which made me feel like my pets were in good hands. Will definitely be using Deirdre for my pet care needs in the future!”
17. Santino B.
About: Dog walker with a deep commitment to animal care, skilled in providing attentive and compassionate services. Proficient in emergency medical techniques for pets, ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs and cats during walks. Eager to contribute to a pet-friendly environment with a focus on reliability and effective communication. Currently working full time, but only work 2 days a week. Also know my schedule way in advace. So will have plenty of time to take care of your pet. Taking care of my dog Mia is one of the most important things in my life. As a greater swiss mountain dog, she is a large breed and requires a lot of attention and care. Here are some ways I make sure that she is happy and healthy:First and foremost, I make sure that Mia is crate trained. This means that she has a safe and comfortable space to retreat to when she needs some alone time. Crate training helps with housebreaking and also keeps her safe when I am not at home. Secondly, Mia is a big eater, just like a cow! I make sure to feed her high-quality dog food that is appropriate for her breed and age. I also make sure that she has plenty of fresh water available at all times. One of Mia's favorite activities is going for long walks in the woods. I make sure to take her out for at least one long walk every day so that she can get plenty of exercise and fresh air. This not only keeps her physically healthy but also mentally stimulated. Another important aspect of taking care of Mia is training. We have a routine called "dinner and show" where I work with her on basic commands and tricks during meal times. This helps to reinforce good behavior and also strengthens our bond. In conclusion, taking care of my dog Mia is a big responsibility but also a joy. By providing her with the love, attention, and care that she needs, I know that she will live a long and happy life. I am grateful for the companionship and loyalty that she offers me in return.
18. Holly R.
“I've used in-house dog sitters and kennels over the years but feel so much better leaving my dog with Holly. I know Moose will be treated like part of her family, and he is over the moon having a "sleepover" with her sweet doodle. I trust her completely and recommend her without reservation!!”
19. Terri Z.
“Terri is by far my favorite pet sitter. I went away for a week and needed to find someone to watch my 3 cats. A friend of mine said that she had watched their dogs and was great. I asked Terri if she would be willing to watch my cats for a week and she said yes. Each of my cats has their own temperament and their own special quirks, but even so she handed each of them flawlessly. I think the cats were kind of sad that I was back at the end of the week. Having her watch my pets was the best decision that I have ever made.”
20. Amy F.
“I highly recommend Amy as a sitter! I’m always a little nervous leaving my cat, but she was very easy to work with and spent quality time with him; she even brought him more toys to play with. She left my house tidy and I know my young, energetic cat was in good hands when she took care of him.”
