“Angela took great care of our dog during a weekend away. She is an excellent communicator and sent lots of pictures too keep us posted of drop ins and walks. Would definitely ask her to help us out next time we need to go out of town.”
“Alyson is the best. She takes such wonderful care of my cat Zenon! Z absolutely loves her and loves spending time together -- the photos and updates are an absolute delight and I'm never worried about my fur baby while I'm away!”
“Yick-hong was great with my cats! They were reliable and attentive and would absolutely recommend. I received daily updates and plenty of photos to keep my mind at ease while I was away. I will likely be working with Yick-hong again in the future!”
“Stephanie is caring and attentive as ever and is now best friends with our demanding kitty. He was pampered with brushing and play time. She is a great sitter and our kitty is lucky to have to Stephanie take care of him.”
“I couldn't have chosen a better sitter to drop-in for my dog and cat during my short getaway. Rilee was phenomenal while caring for my two fur babies. They got lots of attention and time outside and they were happy and healthy upon my return. My home and pets were well cared for and Rilee dropped in for them on schedule, as promised. I was updated promptly upon her departure with pictures and a drop-in update that I thoroughly enjoyed. I will definitely use Rilee again in the future.”
“Alana was awesome! She was communicative and my cat really liked her. She made holiday travel less stressful because I knew Owen was being taken good care of. Would highly recommend!”
“Jessica was great! Booked a drop-in with short notice. She was responsive, flexible, and showed a care and understanding for my pooch's well-being as well as any concerns I had”
About: I am Fear Free Certified which is a training for preventing and alleviating fear, anxiety, and stress during pet caretaking. I’ve been around dogs since I was little and grew up training and taking care of my pet labradoodle. I’ve volunteered at a cat shelter for 2.5 years and am a facility manager for the shelter so I have experience with animals of all types of personalities. I also have two cats that I adopted from the shelter I volunteer at. I am a biomedical engineer so I work from 9-5 Monday- Friday. I’m happy to stop by to give your pets some love before and/or after work Monday, Tuesday, or Friday. I typically do pottery on Wednesdays but can be flexible if needed on that day! Thursday nights I volunteer at the cat shelter until around 7:30PM so late night visits might be possible. I am available most weekends as long as I have enough of a heads up! I know some nice walking trails around Waltham and would be happy to take your dog on walks around there or throughout your neighborhood. I also am comfortable with just giving pets attention and care such as food, brushing, play, and scooping cat litter within your home depending on your needs and wants.
“Carol was a professional and caring provider for our two pups. She tailored her services to put more complicated needs, communicated regularly, and we had full confidence that Gypsy and Franklin were getting excellent care. She has an amazing way with animals and is very competent. Would absolutely work with Carol again and reference to others. Thank you, Carol.”
About: (she/her) I’m a relaxed and detail-oriented person who is excited to meet you and your pet! I love animals and will make sure yours gets the best care when you can’t be there. I have grown up around dogs most of my life, including two deaf and partially blind Aussies. Each pet has their own personality, habits (good and bad), and routines. I look forward to getting to know your pet and what you want to see for them each day to stay active, engaged, and healthy. I regularly dogsit for close friends for a week or more at a time and I’m well-attuned to local hazards to watch out for, such as the reactive dog in the neighborhood, salt on the sidewalks, and trash in the street. I do work a full-time job. While my schedule is hybrid and somewhat flexible to add in local walks or drop-in visits, my Rover profile is primarily set up for occasional weekend stays. I’m happy to coordinate with you on a case-by-case basis to figure out what works best for daily visits or a longer house stay. I have great attention to detail and am willing to learn each pet’s unique needs and routines. I have lived with and around many pets over the years and I understand the level of attention it takes to keep everyone safe, out of trouble, and happy.
About: I was born into a family with a cat that I grew up with! I got my first dog at 7. Ever since, I’ve been a mom to two more cats and one more dog. My dog is extremely anxious, which has provided me with the needed experience for dogs like her. I’ve walked and pet sat for my family members, as well as my friends and their family member’s dogs while they’ve gone away for vacations or had to spend nights away from home. This includes a couple of big sheepdogs! I am very experienced in caring for pets of all sorts, especially cats and dogs. I’ve had experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, diets, and care needs! I am currently back home from my college campus for the summer! I do care for two of my own pets and will need to be with them while my mom is working/away throughout the next month, so I am the most free to pet sit during afternoons and nights, but still have morning availability most days :) I live in a townhouse with a small fenced in outdoor area, as well as loads of space & grass to walk around on outside of that fence! We also have 2 parks :) My complex houses several other dog owners, all of which are leashed while walking in common spaces. My cat and dog are both very friendly and sociable with other pets. They can also be left to lounge around upstairs if needed while boarding other pets! I do not own a dog crate. I have several cat and dog toys, as well as dog beds, bathroom pads, treats, etc. As I have experience with pet sitting for others before, it is easy for me to adjust to different care styles for pets with needs different than mine, and adhere to their routines!
“Scooting is typical of Mae, inconsistent but common. Ill keep an eye on her, it could be a sign of a vaginal issue. Thanks for your help today. My train back to Boston, 30 minutes in, is heading back to NY due to an electrical issue. If this turns out to be an issue that requires me to stay in NY tonight, would you be available tomorrow AM to walk and feed them? I dont want to confirm any plans until I know what Amtrak is going to do. I’ll request the booking through Rover when I know.”
“Kristina was wonderful! I needed a sitter fast, and in quick order, she met me at an initial consultation and provided terrific care for my Luma. I definitely recommend!!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old. With the 16 years of experience with cats, I believe every fur baby needs a home away from home. Like with every pet parent, I strive for the best with my cat. If you choose me to watch your fur baby, I will provide the best and safest environment for them. Do they need a room to themselves? You got it. Has explosive diarrhea? I have cleaning supplies. Medical issues? Another way to keep me on my toes. I hope you consider me as a prospective aunt to your kitter cat or doggo and can’t wait to fill up my camera role with adorable pictures. I look forward to hearing from you 💕 I am a grad student at Brandeis University. My classes are usually over by 2 pm, so after then I’m usually at my apartment caring for my cat and completing schoolwork. So needless to say, I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule for your pets individual needs. If I am doing home visits, I would like to visit the clients home a day or two prior to the arranged visit(s) to understand the animals needs and to see if we would be a good fit. I believe it is important to establish an understanding with the animal in question before I frequent the premises so there isn’t any unnecessary stress for your pet. In regards to boarding, I have a medium sized apartment that would be good for any cat or small-medium dog. There are multiple grassy areas for bathroom breaks and walks around the premises. You will have to provide me with your animals usual schedule (times for bathroom breaks, when and how much time are committed to walks, feeding times, etc.) so I can build my set around them and their needs

Bryana was an amazing for the drop in visits for my old lady Pumpkin. They were super responsive and the updates they provided were so cute and informative. They also went above and beyond making sure my cat was comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again the next time I travel.
Michelle was an amazing sitter. She was punctual and communicative the entire time we were gone. She gave great cuddles to our cat Sunny, which he really appreciated. Her updates were great with many photos and videos the entire time she was with Sunny. Really appreciated her taking such great care of him while we were gone!
My kitties LOVE J and I thoroughly trust her with them. I needed last minute care and medication administration and she took excellent care of both my adult cat and kitten. She stays in touch, sends great updates and I hope to have her hang with my cats again!
Longfei and Luning were absolutely amazing with Carl! From the moment I left, they made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and attentive hands. They spent time playing with him, giving him attention, and making sure he felt comfortable and happy while I was away from home. It was clear they genuinely cared about him and treated him like their own. I really appreciated the updates and the extra effort they put into making the experience stress-free for both Carl and me. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and thoughtful pet care!
Cassie is a wonderful sitter for my 2 senior kitties. One needs daily medicine and she was great with him. He can be very elusive because of it but she was thorough and persistent in finding him every time! They were healthy and happy when we returned from an extended trip. She was a pleasure to work with and I definitely recommend her.
