“Nyla absolutely loves her walks/adventure time with David! She also has opportunities to socialize with other dogs in a regular basis which is so very important to me to her overall well being. I appreciate David’s understanding of this and ensuring that Nylas needs and her little personality are recognized and appreciated. He has also,(more than once) been flexible in taking Nyla on last minute occasions if needed. He is also very prompt in responding communication wise.”

“Owen has been great! I can tell our pup looks forward to seeing him. He provides feedback on the walk and even helps reinforce the training habits we’ve been working on implementing with our dog. It’s fun to see the photo updates from the walk he provides. 5 stars.”

About: I have been a pet sitter for a couple years! Also, I have volunteered and interned at a veterinary hospital; these experiences helped me become more informed on pet care. My main priority is providing your pet with the best care!! I will clean water bowl, litter box and always provide fresh food! I currently work a full time job but typically free Monday anytime after 6:30pm, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday anytime before 2pm, and I am available anytime on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday. My main priority is comfort - making sure you are comfortable with entrusting your pet in my care and making sure your pet is comfortable with me. I will do this by allowing the pet to become familiar with me so they aren’t scared and providing treats as well as playful sessions to get them comfortable.
“Emma is great! Super professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We could tell she took the responsibility seriously. Great communication. Thank Emma!”

About: I’ve always loved animals. Growing up I always begged my parents for a dog. I was always surrounded by cats and dogs and was frequently dog sitting. During COVID, my family got our first furry family member, Squimpy, who’s a tuxedo cat. Two years later we got another kitty, Chowder. They’ve changed my life and make me so happy. For work, I have to go into my office Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, during which I’m done 7:00AM to 6:00PM. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays of which I’m around for the whole day, and of course Saturday and Sunday I’m home the whole day. Whether I’m at your place or mine, your pet gets VIP treatment. I promise to follow your care instructions to a T, from mealtime routines and walk schedules to quirky habits.” I keep things calm, clean, and comfy. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, secure, and loved.
About: I have experience taking care of and walking dogs, something I often do for my brother and cousin when they do not have time on their hands. I currently work during the nights, so I will be able to see the pups during the day. I also work primarily on the weekends, so most of my availability will be set for weekdays. Although my apartment is not suited to taking care of dogs, I will make sure that I will be flexible with any home I will dog sit and be mindful of the space I occupy.

“Catarina is a joy to work with and makes sure to send me detailed updates on her daily walks with Simba. It is great to know that she is paying such close attention to my pup (even letting me know if treats are low!).”

“Jose is so great with Blueberry, always brought him back safe and sound, and is incredibly communicative. Blueberry is such a big fan of Jose, and we’ll be booking again soon!”

“Danielle was amazing! She was on time, sent plenty of photos, and took great care of my dog. She administered all of my dog’s medications with no issues or struggle, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend she’s reliable, kind, and clearly great with animals!”

“Great walkers :)) so friendly and accommodating. I appreciate when a walker does their best to do long distance walks in 30 minutes. In a dream world, I’d love to pay for an hour but just can’t afford it right now, so having a walker that is putting in the effort, means so much. Nothing better than a tired dog!”
“Savannah took the time to meet my dog prior to a booking, so that he would recognize her and not be protective about the house on the day of the walk. However, that's exactly what he did, anyway. Savannah was very patient and tried to coax him out and get the walk going, despite a snarly and non-compliant dog. He is doing well now, and may have had a reaction to a medication. But on that day he was very stubborn and Savannah took an hour (on a 30 min walk) to try to get him out and get some exercise. Very patient and dedicated effort.”

“Tommy takes fantastic care of my dog during their daily walks! It’s great knowing my pup is in good hands, and Tommy always provides photos and updates. I highly recommend booking with this sitter!”

About: My love for pets stemmed from growing up with a boxer for 13 years. I love going for walks, baths, or just hanging out on the couch! I’m currently a full time college student, but I’m only on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Other than that, I’m totally available for the rest of the week! I’ve watched dogs in my home before, we have a spacious living room and I’m happy to do whatever makes them happy! I’m also comfortable navigating client’s homes to make any dog’s experience the best it can be.
About: I am a long time dog owner that is passionate about providing loving care to all. I am very attentive and patient and love going on long walks and playing in the park with dogs of all sizes. I work full time but have a very flexible job right across the road from my home that allows me three breaks per day to go home and check on your pets! There are some amazing walking paths right behind my apartment and a park down the road where I will walk your dog(s) and play with them. I am very much a home body and spend every morning and night at home before and after work which is more time for me to take care of and play with your precious pets!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my compassionate experience with dogs, especially senior dogs. Growing up with dogs, volunteering at shelters, and dog sitting, have given me a lifelong understanding of their care, and for the last 3 years I have worked as a veterinary care coordinator with Lap of Love, a mobile in-home end of life care service. In my role, I assist families through emotional and challenging situations end of like journey, helping them navigate decisions and providing support during a difficult time. My work has given me invaluable insight into the unique needs of pets. Having recently lost my 15 year old dog, I can relate to the extra care dogs need. This experience has only strengthen my empathy, patience, and commitment to giving each pet the best possible care. I am dedicated to ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for, just as I would for my own. I am currently working from 7am - 4pm Monday - Fridays. I am normally available during weekends at anytime or on evenings for week days. I am currently pursuing my Master’s at Northeastern and have classes on Monday until 9pm. I will follow safety guidelines provided by the pet’s family. I will make your pet’s safety my outmost priority. I would prefer to speak to the family via phone or zoom before committing to care.
“Ashley was friendly , polite, reliable, great attitude, and my dog warmed up with her right away. Freedom had a great time on their walk and ran back to thank her so I could tell he was very happy . I would definitely recommend her as someone you can trust with your dog , even if the dog is tentative meeting new Dogwalkers! Good luck Ashley!”

About: I've had many pets throughout my life and have found their presences to be some of the most genuine and loving in this world. Through my childhood, adolescence and adulthood the moments that have stuck out to me as the most memorable and enjoyable have been shared with animals. From the pets I've had that graced me with their lives, and all the pets I've watched for friends and family — nothing brings me more joy than the animals in my life. I work from home as an online tutor which gives me all day to take care of and play with the fur babies I watch here on Rover. I'm a single mom and share my home with my adult daughter who works as a registered behavioral technician. We are a family of animal lovers and people who genuinely care about the health and well being of all the animals that come into our home. I always ensure no food is left out, no sharp or dangerous items are ever within an animals reach, and am welcoming of nearly every animal into my home. From little kittens, to large pitbulls, I've watched and cared for them all!
