“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”
“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“Natalie tackled the task of watching our 5 animals in our home while we were on vacation. I’m a bit of a nervous wreck when it comes to our fur babies but I fully trust Natalie and can tell she absolutely loves animals! She did a wonderful job and we will absolutely be rebooking her for our next trip!”
“Brooke did an amazing job with my big & energetic dog over the weekend! We came back to a very happy pup that was obviously very well cared for as well as a spotless house! Brooke was so sweet with our lab and sent us many updates and photos. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
“Heather took great care of my 2 fur babies. I was able to enjoy my first family vacation in years because she made me so comfortable with the care she gave them. She sent pictures everyday and kept me updated in all of their activities. She will be my Rover go to for future trips.”
About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)
“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”
“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”
“Tessa was great with our boys while we were away. She communicated everything really well with us and sent us daily update pictures. Will definitely be using her again next time we are going out of town.”
“Sydney has taken care of my two, high energy boys twice now and has done an amazing job! She sends updates and pictures daily, lets me know if anything out of the ordinary happens, and is very responsive. She cleaned and left my house just the way I'd left it. She also stuck with the dogs' routine and training, which is so helpful. I love that she spends so much time with them, and also seems to really appreciate their quirky personalities! They were happy and relaxed when I got home. It's so nice to know I can trust Sydney to take such wonderful care of them!”
About: Hello! My name is Jasmine and I live on the North Shore. I have a lot of pet care experience as I've grown up with dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs-you name it-for most of my life. I have an unparalleled amount of energy as a person, so being with pets is a perfect match. I love physical activity, so whether it’s going for a walk or throwing the ball, it all works for me. Some of my favorite activities to do with pets include going to the dog park, playing fetch (with dogs or cats), darting a laser light around the room, playing hide and seek with cats, watching the cars drive by (very intriguing), and anything else your pet loves to do. Even if that means just simply relaxing and soaking up the sun. Whatever pace your pet prefers is the one I will adapt. All in all, working and playing with your animals will be the highlight of my day! I currently have a minimum workload, so I will likely be available at any time of your convenience. I can work in the mornings, midday, and evenings if necessary. This includes weekend availability as well. Depending on what service you’re looking for, I can easily get your pet suited up for a walk, any medication necessary, feeding, crating, cleaning litter-boxes or cages, snuggling, treats…
“We’ve booked Darra multiple times for housesitting while going out if state. Our dog Henry is very particular about who he likes, and tough with new people but he loves Darra and has since the beginning. We will definitely be having her take care of our dogs again in the next trip we go on!”

Milica was so wonderful with our Roo! She house sat for 10 days while we were away on vacation. She took great care of the house and Roo, including while we had a contractor in to start construction on a bathroom while we were gone. Great communication and so sweet with our girl. Highly recommend!
Collin was a wonderful sitter. He was funny, gave great belly rugs to Courage from the pictures, and provided regular updates. He also was available on very short notice! I highly recommend him to anyone in the future! Courage and Bagheera were both happy and tired up on my return!
This was Alexis’s second time house-sitting for us, and once again we returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for pet. She kept us updated with regular photos and timely text messages, always proactive and thoughtful. Alexis is by far the most reliable sitter we’ve ever had, and we wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking for excellent pet care.
Maddi was amazing! She sent plenty of photos and was very communicative. She was extremely flexible and accommodating as I had to add an extra day on to the original stay, and I am so grateful for all of her help. When I came home, my pets were all super happy and in great moods!!
Andrew was so great with my dog. His schedule flexibility let Lou keep to her routine. She got to ride to work with him and explore the hidden wooded paths around his studio in Mt Washington. He took special care of some of my plants and the house looked great on my return. I’ll book him again without hesitation
Brooke was INCREDIBLE. We left our slightly older, slightly anxious dog in Brooke's care for over a week and came back to a happy, well cared for pup. Brooke was communicative, sent great photos, and was generally very sweet and professional. I would definitely book with her again.
Trai was just awesome. We booked him for a week long vacation with our giant breed dog and he was great. The house was cleaned up, he was always super easy to communicate with, and even sent this crazy dog mom pictures! He’s just so nice and easy to work with. I can’t say enough about him! I worry he’ll be too booked when I need him again because he is one of the best!
Emmaline was truly a stellar dog sitter! She gave us such detailed reports on how our pup was doing throughout the week, provided ample photos or them hanging out and relaxing together, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to know their pup is well loved.
Chelsea was absolutely outstanding! She was incredibly responsive, punctual, kind, and professional. She even came for a meet-and-greet to help our pup feel comfortable and stayed longer than scheduled to ensure she was okay. Flexible, caring, and clearly passionate—highly recommend!
Katelyn was AMAZING! It was our first time doing an in home sit but she was so accommodating with coming to meet them first and get comfortable around them. They warmed up to her immediately and were snuggled up to her the whole time. She sent frequent updates and was so quick with her responses. We will deff be using her again!! Thank you Katelyn :)
