“Christina was great. She was communicative, on time, and showed my cat lots of love. This was my first time leaving her and I was nervous but there was absolutely nothing to worry about. Christina was on top of it. Will be using her again”

About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life and my house was always noisy. However, now that I’ve moved away from home I’ve been missing the little guys. Im going into a my Masters program at UChicago! I’m also a barista at Starbucks! I usually work in the early morning so my afternoons are pretty open! I have the upmost respect for others property and place. I would love to board animals at my apartment if you are comfortable with it! However, I will come second to only you in loving your animal.
“It was my first time using rover and I was looking for someone who truly understands dogs, and its Tamara! Tamara was a true blessing while I was away in Mexico. My dog isn’t usually quick to trust—he even tried to bite her when they first met—but she was so patient and kind with him. By the end of the week, he was waiting at the door for her, tail wagging, 30 minutes early. I could tell he really bonded with her. I’m so grateful and would absolutely have her watch him again.”

“I am always very nervous when I leave my furry girl alone. It was the first time we booked Qutress and she did it amazing. On a couple days did a great bond and my Kira is always scared to everyone, she really had the touch, the care and patience for her. Qutress is reliable, careful with all details and kind. I would repeat her service as much I need it.”

“Evan did a wonderful job watching our cat for a long weekend. He was communicative and responsive, which made us feel comfortable and confident that our cat was in great hands.”

“Nadine was great! She was patient with my sassy cat and very communicative with me while I was on vacation. Would definitely use Nadine in the future.”

About: I have experience caring for both energetic dogs who need structure and movement, as well as more sensitive pets who benefit from patience, gentle routines, and clear communication. I’m organized, responsive, and great at managing schedules—skills I use every day in my professional work and bring directly into pet care. I pay attention to details, follow instructions carefully, and make sure owners feel fully informed while they’re away. I’m a reliable and attentive weekend pet sitter based in Boston, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and caring environment for every animal I look after. I work a full-time remote job during the week, but on weekends I’m fully dedicated to pet care—whether that means long walks, dedicated playtime, or simply keeping your pet company and relaxed at home. As someone who values consistency and trust, I make sure every pet gets thoughtful, individualized attention. Whether your pet needs slow, steady walks, a playful activities, or lots of affection, I’m here to help your weekend feel stress-free. If you’re looking for a sitter who is responsible, communicative, and truly loves spending her weekends with animals, I’d love to support you and your pet!
“Jasmine was amazing! They followed instructions, asked questions and gave a thorough summary of what happened each day! Greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness and care put into the time spent with my furry friend. Much appreciated!!”

“Great with dogs! Daphne gave our 11yr old and 1yr old so much love and attention during her mid day drop in visits, we are grateful for her service. Wonderful and easy to work with and we will definitely use again.”

“Ella is the best sitter we could of picked for Bambam. We were a little nervous since it was the first time we booked with rover. Definitely a right choice with Ella. She’s such a caring and loving person. She went above and beyond for Bambam. I’m sure Bambam will miss her.”

“Chelsea was a fantastic rover for our dog! She was extremely responsive, punctual, and helped us several times on short notice! She also clearly cared for our dog and was super kind. Would recommend her to anyone!”

“Cassandra listens and is trustworthy. We spoke for awhile exchanging dog (pet watching) experiences and I knew I could trust her with my dogs and my home: Her visit consisted of having lockbox access to our house, access to the dogs and returning everything as requested.”
About: I love puppies and letting them get socialized! I have a 5 month old puppy myself and choosing me to watch your baby would be an honor! I work from home so your pup will never be alone! I work from home all day! My puppy goes with me almost everywhere and I frequently take walks so your puppy would be in great hands I have a fenced yard as well as a big open play pen for my puppy and plenty of toys for your pup to play with!

We had Kaylie do 30 minute drop in visits to feed and play with our 2 cats while we were away for a short trip. Kaylie was very communicative and we loved getting her detailed updates and photos of our babies. We could tell our cats were happy in her company ☺️ Would definitely recommend!

I was pretty stressed about leaving Kairo while I was going on my trip, but Mahin made everything so much easier. She took such great care of him, kept me updated regularly, and made sure all of his little routines and requirements were followed. It was really nice knowing he was comfortable and in good hands while I was away. Kairo had a great time, and I could tell he was well taken care of. I really appreciate everything Mahin did and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet!

Our cat Rocket loves Emily :) Emily took care of Rocket a couple times now during our trip, including some long-term ones. That meant Emily had to come in twice a day, every day, for 2-3 weeks. She wasn't late to a single visit, gave Rocket lots of pets and attention, and sent us a lot of pictures while we were overseas. She truly went above and beyond as a sitter and we cannot recommend Emily enough!

Nadine did an amazing job taking care of our dog! She was super flexible, responsive, and made the whole process really easy for us. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We really appreciate everything she did and would absolutely recommend Nadine to anyone looking for a great sitter!

Kate was amazing with Peppa! She stopped by every day and it was so obvious how much she genuinely cared — sent me pics constantly so I never had to wonder how things were going. Peppa looked happy and relaxed in every single one. Super reliable, showed up right on time every visit, and communicated the whole week without me having to chase her down for updates. Would 100% have her back again, can't recommend her enough.
