“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Grace! She took wonderful care of our dog Tilly while we were away for our engagement party. From the start, Grace was incredibly responsive and made sure she understood everything she needed to know about Tilly’s care. She checked in on her three times throughout the day and kept us updated with messages and adorable photos during each visit, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that Tilly was comfortable and happy in her care. We’re so grateful for Grace’s reliability and attentiveness—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter!”
“Adam is a great sitter! Super communicative, spends quality time with the fur babies, and loves to play with them. They are happy when we get home, and we can tell they’ve had lots of loving care!”
“Alex was great with our pug Lilly. She was reliable, friendly and mature and always on time. She gave us detailed visit reports and photos of the visits. Highly recommend her and would gladly use her services again.”
About: I am always the first one called when my family needs someone to take care of their pets! I love spending time with all animals! I am a teacher so I am off from June-August. I am available most weekdays to help with any drop in or walking needs for dogs or cats! I take care of pets exactly how the owner needs them to be. I can easily crate or walk dogs and keep up with precise feeding schedules!
“Our travel schedule went a little haywire during this booking and Stephanie smoothly accomodated, taking a lot of stress out of the situation. Again, the pet care was outstanding. Would highly recommend Stephanie!”
About: I have been around every kind of animal since I was a kid but I have always favored dogs! I love every size and energy level of dog! I enjoy training and will be going to an accredited training program next year! I give my boss my hours every Saturday so if I know what you need by then hopefully I should be able to accommodate you! I have a fenced yard and 4 dogs that will mostly be separated from your dog! I will crate the dog when i’m not with them if that if what you would rather!
“Elizabeth (Liz) is a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter. She volunteered to come visit them ahead of time on her own time, and befriended them (even the skittish one). She kept them fed on schedule, played with them and was a pleasure to work with all around.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and I now have two (yes, two) diabetic cats that require a lot of love and attention! I have 3+ plus years of injection (insulin administration) experience. I currently work fully remote in Medfield, Ma and have the flexibility to plan my work days around your pet’s needs with increased availability in the early and late hours. I have used Rover for my own cat sitting needs for many years, so I understand the level of trust placed in a pet sitter - caring for your fur babies and entering your home. I will be respectful of your home and kind with your children!

Ashley V.
“Ashley is incredible with pets. We had a cat for most of her childhood. She loved that cat and spoiled him rotten. She was always playing with him, carrying him around like a baby and cuddling up with him. Our next pet was a bulldog. When Ashley went away to college, she would actually call to talk to the dog. Whenever she came home, we had to let the dog out to greet her because the dog would get so excited to see Ashley she would pee! When she got married, she got 2 cats in the bargain. Even though those cats technically belong to her husband, they're HER cats. They both have health issues including insulin-dependent diabetes and Ashley takes care of them like they're her children. I can't imagine anyone would take better care of someone's pet than Ashley. Her love for animals knows no bounds.”
Amanda F.
“We can always count on Amanda!”

Hannah J.
“Hello! I'm writing this testimonial on behalf of Hannah Jerome! Hannah was so loving, caring, attentive and responsible when she took care of my 5 year old Shihpooh, Coco. Coco is an anxious dog and Hannah was patient and went above and beyond to make Coco comfortable as well as myself. I could tell Hannah had good leash handling skills when I met her and she followed my feeding instructions to the T. She also changed Coco's water bowl unprompted. I would highly recommend Hannah for you dog walking and caring needs.”
Alicia K.
“I have known Alicia for many years. She is a very caring, thoughtful, considerate and responsible person. She has watched our cats many times over the years and would come more often than expected to check to make sure she gave them more attention. She always handled the duties we asked of her thoroughly. I know her family has dogs which she cares for as well. I think she will make a wonderful addition to your team.”
