“August was such a great babysitter for our dog Honey. We really appreciate the care she received including walks and treats. She had a great time playing with their dog Miu Miu. We appreciate it very much.”


“Emma was very sweet and kind to offer to meet and greet before taking care of Caramelo today. She sent me pictures through the day, followed all my instructions and took care of my baby as hers. I realized tonight that she placed a very sweet card thanking me for the opportunity to take care of Caramelo and how sweet he was with her. She even included a mini picture of him, which I appreciate it very much as it would be in my wallet from now on. I certainly will book her again. I can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Emma!!”


“Holly was great with our 14-year old labradoodle. She was able to accommodate a last minute request as well as make Cricket feel at home, despite the fact that our senior dog is very attached to us.”


“I can’t say enough good things about Xiaoting. He has taken amazing care of my dog, Belle, and it’s such a relief knowing she’s in kind, capable hands. He keeps me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. His dog, Raphael, is wonderful with Belle and gets along great with other dogs too — such a sweet companion for her during the day. It’s clear he’s a true dog lover with a gentle, thoughtful approach. I’m so grateful to have found him and will absolutely continue using his services!”


About: I have experience raising and training a dog from early puppy-hood to 2 years old. Since then, I joined Rover in May of 2021 but then took a break after getting our own dog. We still helped watch our friend’s dogs but more recently decided to use the Rover app again. My husband and I, currently live in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with an outdoor deck and back yard (unfenced). I will make sure to work closely with you to maintain your dog’s eating/exercising/sleeping schedule as consistent as possible to hopefully make their stay with me as comfortable and stress-free as possible! I’m also easily reachable and will send as many picture updates as you would like so you know your fur baby is taken care of. I make sure to understand your dog's needs and quirks and I make sure to keep the apartment clean and free from any choking hazards. We will also make sure to wear reflective materials or have a flashlight with us for any walks after sunset. We will make sure to understand ahead of time any concerns you may have and make sure they are addressed to the best of our ability. To ensure the best stress-free experience for you, your fur baby, and me, I do ask that your pupper is house trained, potty trained, crate trained (for when we need to go into the office for work) as well as leash trained. I typically will wake up around 7am to get ready for the day but am willing and happy to wake up earlier to take your pupper out for a quick bathroom break. We try to fit in at least 3 daily walks and can send picture updates during the day. During the weekends, we try to go on a longer walk somewhere or go to the local park. We always make sure to put the leash on before opening the door before our walks. We also like to make sure they are supervised at all times. My husband and I work mostly remote and so we will be able to keep your fur baby company throughout the day and ensure the routine that your fur baby is accustomed to is maintained during their stay with us! My dog, Duchess, gets along with dogs and will generally keep to herself. Any time her and your fur baby are together will be supervised whether they are playing or eating. Duchess does not resource guard but to ensure a calm feeding we can feed the dogs in different rooms.

“Banapsha and Sid were so wonderful with me and Zephyr. I had a last minute request for daycare and they were willing to take us on short notice.. They really went the extra mile to make sure my pup was well taken care of. Banapsha was so kind to keep me updated every few hours with pictures and updates of Zeph. Zeph looked like he had a blast the entire time playing ball and tug. I'm definitely a bit of a helicopter mom when it comes to my pup and Banapsha was up to do a meet and greet beforehand so as to put me at ease since this was our first time together. She asked tons of questions and really took the time to take note of my pups quirks. I could really tell how much she absolutely loved pups and how well Zeph took to her when we met. So so grateful to have found someone I can trust to take care of my pup when I'm away. Ill definitely be back again soon!!!!”

“Our dog Indy is fairly timid and anxious, and Alix took wonderful care of him while we were in town for an event. She is a great communicator, and it was clear that Indy was very relaxed throughout the day with Alix. She got him to come out of his shell, and when we picked him up we could see that he had a great time. We highly recommend Alix!”


“Natalia was wonderful with my young puppy. She watched her for a very long day and was able to accommodate a very early drop off which I greatly appreciated! She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day.”



“Ismael's house is Jake's favorite place. When we pull up, he runs up to see him at full speed! He takes such good care of my best buddy, and always sends photos and keeps me updated. I feel very safe leaving my very best bud with Ismael. ❤️”


“Tiff is awesome! She was super accommodating and set up a meet and greet before I boarded my dog, Tofu. She kept us in the loop with lots of pics and videos. Big thanks to Tiff!”


“Stefan and Elvia treated our pup with such love, warmth, and attention. When they watched our dog, they treated him like he was their own. They were very communicative and sent us regular photos of our pup having a blast at their home. We will definitely have our dog return to their home when we need because we know he feels like it is his second home :)”


About: I have had dogs almost my entire life. I have been pet sitting on dog vacay and rover for the last several years , before my dog Dora passed away two years when she was 14 years of age. I stopped pet sitting , and was grieving for a while. I am now ready to get back to dog sitting , and want to experience joy of pets again, even if on a temporary basis. I have two children , 8 and 4, and they have been exposed to dogs and cats until recently . We want to have a chance to play with doggies again, and love them! At the moment I am unemployed, and home with my 4 year old. A dog would easily fit in our daily routine, as the dog parents require. I live in a condo association, on the third floor. I do not have a yard, but I will be able to walk your doggie.

About: I am an avid dog-lover looking to spend time with the most fabulous dogs of the boston area! I grew up with dogs and have been dog walking and sitting for years. I have a very flexible schedule - I am spending the summer studying for the LSAT and like to spend a ton of time outside when I don’t have my head in a book! I live in a house with a fenced-in yard and my 13 year old spaniel, who is an absolute angel! There is always water available for the dogs and they are taken on several walks everyday.

About: I love animals, I have lived with dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles and bunnies my entire life. My dog died a couple years ago and last cat passed away about a year ago. I miss having pets at the house. I also have dog training certificate from Animal Behavior College. I promise to treat your pet as my own while also following your instructions since you know your pet best :) I am currently not working and will have plenty of time to take care of your pet and keep them company, be it cuddling on the couch or playing catch outside We have a fully fenced in back yard and live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of places to explore on walks and even runs for willing participants

About: I have one very energetic husky puppy and have 2 couch potatoes french bulldogs. I have potty trained all 3 dogs and managed their needs I work from home during the week days. Am able to take the dogs out every 2 hours on breaks and at the end of my shift at 430 I take them to the dog park I make sure there is no food laying around or anything dogs can swallow. I have prepped my apt very well since my husky loves to roam and get into everything

I wouldn’t hesitate to have him watch Cooper again!”
