“Mary Kate did a wonderful caring for my chiweenie for the last 2 weeks. Planning on having her as a long term walker. She is flexible, keeps you updated during walks and reliable!”
“Erin was awesome! Reached out to her on a short notice and was able to squeeze me in her schedule, made lots of questions to make sure Rosita had a great walk with her. Sent lots of pictures and made sure Rosita had her potty break on a rainy day. Will ask her again!”
“Our dog can be a bit much with leash reactivity and new changes. We are very pleased with how Kaylor has dealt with Buddy and it seems to be going well. Super grateful for the willingness to work with Buddy!”
“Quinlan was an amazing dog walker. I felt very comfortable leaving our pup in his care. He also left very funny little reviews to look forward to everyday :) I highly recommend him!”
“Kauai is the best! She took very good care of my 10year old black lab while I’ve been out of the country. Her communication is the best and she was very punctual. I trusted her with my key to my place and she did great! She showed Athena so much love and took her on great walk. Best dog sitter around!”
“Julia is great with our dog Blue! She is very friendly and enthusiastic, and has a genuine interest in the well being of animals. I appreciate her communication before and during dog walks and I trust her to provide quality care for our pup. We will definitely book her again!”
“Billy was great! We met Billy just a few days before our walking needs and he was friendly, communicative, and awesome with our 70 pound sweet dog. Smokey loved walking with Billy and was always happy coming home!”
“Tira is amazing with our pup. She’s a great communicator, super reliable, provides great updates, and our pup is always so excited to see her. I would highly recommend working with Tira!”
About: I grew up with two family dogs, both golden retrievers, and have much experience dog sitting my friends’ pets! I’ve gained valuable experience taking care of both cats and dogs since joining Rover, and I take pride in my feedback of being attentive to detailed and responsive to the many furry friends I’ve taken care of so far :) I’m currently only working part time. So I am free to cat and dog sit by giving full attention with a flexible schedule, weekdays and weekends. I live in a pet friendly apartment with a small park nearby. So walks wouldn’t be a problem and my apartment is big enough for the to play around as well.
“I could not recommend Hillary enough! She is kind, patient, communicative and takes the best photos of the best adventures 🥰 She is the perfect choice for someone to trust with your pet!”
About: I have no professional experience with pets, but I grew up with a dog throughout my childhood and I love spending time with cats and dogs I am not working currently so I have plenty of time to take care of pets and I am free basically every day of the week I live alone with no pets or roommates, so my whole apartment is open and I have the time to make sure any pets are looked after throughout the day
About: Spent extensive time caring after my families dogs & cats as well as the pets of my neighborhood. I also look after my friends cats and dogs of Boston and Maine. Comfortable with walking, playing with, feeding, and even some light training with dogs. I don’t have certifications with dog training but I would be happy to reinforce training you do with them for some light commands. I work in sales in a fairly fluid environment. I spend some time at home and the rest of my time around the city and greater Boston. Drop in pet care/walking fits perfectly into my schedule as I can work from my computer and travel when needed. I do have a fenced in yard but I’m not currently accepting pet care in my own home outside of the critters I already have. I may open up to this in the future but I do use a lot of space In my car already.
“Shawn has helped me a number of times take care of my golden retriever and has been a real lifesaver. She is experienced, reliable, clearly cared about my dogs wellbeing and was also a great communicator. She took my dog April for multiple long walks and also figured out how to safely get her some running exercise on a long line. Would definitely recommend Shawn!”
About: Hi! I have experience taking care of pets from neighbors, friends, and family. Since moving to Boston I haven’t had time to care for one of my own, but would love to meet others 😁 I currently work full time, but I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule. Typically I am available most afternoons as well as weekends! I will follow instructions and adjust my care based on what is requested and what the pet is comfortable with. Please let me know how I can make this experience as enjoyable as possible!
North Cambridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kira was amazing! She helped me out on very short notice, and I couldn’t be more grateful. It was a hot day, and she made sure Bebe was comfortable and okay before leaving my house. I highly recommend her, and I’ll definitely be reaching out again whenever I need someone to walk Bebe! 🐾
Quinlan has walked my dog twice now, and I've had a great experience. He's punctual and communicative and great with my dog. My first and second walks were quite some time apart and Quinlan handled re-introduction and some initial hesitation from my dog really well. He reported back to me to ease my anxiety and I appreciate and would recommend Quinlan to anyone looking for prompt and positive experience.
Megan is the best! She took such good care of Benny while we were away and Benny loves her. Megan is so responsible, trustworthy and we feel so incredibly lucky that we found her. I will arrange our vacation schedule around her schedule just to make sure that she will be the one to take care of Benny while we travel! Thanks Megan!
Megan is great! She took care of our Yorkie, Mochi, for two walking sessions, and Mochi was always so happy when she returned home. Our puppy tends to be reactive during walks, so we provided Megan with a dog walker guide. Megan carefully read through the guide before the first walk and communicated openly and proactively before each walk. We strongly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
