“Stitches’ tail doesn’t wiggle for just anybody—but with Julia, it never stops! He can instantly sense her great energy, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy he feels around her. She’s so patient, caring, and attentive with him, and even in just 30 minutes, she makes such a positive difference in his day. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Julia is truly amazing with him, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and sitter! 🐾”

“Eleanor was great with Luna while we were on vacation! Luna warmed up to her super quickly. Eleanor spent time sitting / playing with Luna each day on her visit and sent us lots of pictures and updates!”

“Elliot took great care of my cat Mia while I was out of town. He came by for a meet and greet beforehand, and gave detailed notes, pictures and a video each of his visits. He also offered to come by outside of the selected visits to check in on Mia and keep her company. Highly recommend!”

“Alyssa is amazing! She took care of Emilio, my cat, while I was away. Communication was great, and she helped me clean after, which is always appreciated. Thank you !”

“Samantha took excellent care of our cat Brisket. She was on time and did everything we asked, and more. She also responded promptly and really helped us out so close to the holidays. Thank you!”

“Tira took care of our cat, Skittles, for a week while we were traveling. She took wonderful care of her and is a great communicator. We received daily updates and photos. Skittles was so happy to see her and enjoyed her visits. I would definitely recommend Tira. :)”

“I highly recommend Karen! She took great care of my shy cat, Kitty. She sent photos of him, the water fountain, feeder, and litter box so I could see everything was handled. Communicative, thorough, and totally trustworthy. 5 stars!”

“Hillary was a great find in the "eleventh hour" of my search for service. She dropped in and took really good care of my dog while I was far away for the day. I felt confident from our first texts and Hillary's generous effort to come to my home for a meet n greet. Hillary followed through with great communication, lots of photos and follow up texts. I would call her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services ! Thank you so much!”

About: I grew up with two golden retrievers and have experience with every age from puppy to senior. I also have experience walking dogs of all sizes, from toy chihuahua to Newfoundland! I am an all-around animal lover, and in addition to household pets I also have experience with horse training and care. I currently work a full time in-person job on weekdays from 7:00am to 3:30pm. I can provide care any time after work and on weekends, and can travel to work from anywhere I may be staying. I unfortunately cannot accommodate any animals in my current apartment as I have three roommates and a cat who very much enjoys being an only child. However I am more than happy to travel to you for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays.
“Will did a FANTASTIC job taking care of my 3 crazy Bengals. I was very nervous because this was my first time leaving them with someone since they were kittens and also my first time using Rover. We communicated while I was gone and he told me what everyone was up to, which really put my mind at ease…took goofy pictures, and I I could tell the litter boxes were changed and they had plenty of food and water. 💦. More importantly, they seemed very happy and chill, so clearly had been taken care of with attention and kindness. So altogether, I could enjoy my trip and not stress about leaving them at home. Thank you, Will. Great sitter!😻😻👍”

“Shawn dropped in to take care of our two cats multiple days during our long vacation. It was a huge relief knowing they were in good hands and getting photos each day. She followed our detailed feeding instructions that involved wet food with medication mixed in, and measuring out dry food on a scale. She also gave us detailed updates on their behavior and it was clear she really cared about their comfort and mood while we were gone. Thank you Shawn, would definitely book again!”


“Hope was amazing! I contacted Hope to check up on my cat while I was away and she did a great job taking care of her. Hope is responsive and a great communicator!”

“Julia dropped-in in a pinch to take Jake out for a walk and a quick yard play with our neighbor pup. Jake was delighted to see a familiar face and mom was very grateful :) thanks Julia!”

“Michael is our go-to catsitter. I especially appreciated his availability when we took a last minute weekend trip. We’re sure our cat Reyna looks forward to his visits too!”

“Sherry was amazing! She cared for my bunny and cats while I was away and I felt totally comfortable the whole time. She was very communicative and went above and beyond my expectations! I will definitely be reaching out to her the next time I need pet sitting”

North Cambridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
Naomi just watched our two cats while we were out of the country. I was really nervous about leaving them for almost two weeks, but Naomi was fantastic and communicated everything we needed to know along the way. Her daily updates were the best! We came home to two happy, well-taken-care-of cats. I highly recommend Naomi for anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter. We can’t wait to rebook her!

Sarah was wonderful with my pup Penny! Penny is used to pretty much always being by my side, and she was (unexpectedly) scared when I wasn't there. Sarah and her son took the time to coax Penny out from the under the bed and made her comfortable for future stop ins. As a pet parent, I felt much better knowing that my dog was both happier and in great hands! A very positive experience!
