1. Ben E.

“Ben was EXCELLENT with our cat, Cleo. He kept us very informed throughout our time away and kept Cleo very happy and content. She is a pretty needy kitty - loves alot of attention and needs meds daily. Ben handled everything with ease and I knew Cleo was happy when we returned based on her attitude and the fact that she didn't show any of her telltale signs of stress (overgrooming for example). That proved to us that Ben took great care to pay attention to her and make her feel loved while her family was away. He also provided us daily pictures which were very welcome reminders that she was doing well. Would definitely recommend Ben to take care of you pets!”


2. Vanessa V.

“This is a rebook with Vanessa and that’s for a reason! I feel very comfortable leaving my 10yo German shepherd with her. She sent lots of pictures and let me know how their day was going while I was away. He is not very good with other dogs so I’m very hesitant to leave him with people because of that but I don’t have to worry with Vanessa! Would definitely recommend her to anyone”


3. Jessica G.

“Jessica has great communication and is very accommodating to our pups needs. She gave us updates throughout the night and sent pictures as well!”

7. Ian P.
“Ian is great with my pets. You can tell he really loves my pets and my pets are comfortable with him also. Highly recommend Ian.”


8. Hannah L.

“Hannah did a fabulous job with our elderly dogs. A work trip required a last minute need for our 2 dogs and I did not want to board them given their age. Both dogs have arthritis and our oldest is starting to lose his eyesight. A friend recommended the Rover app and after some searching and reading reviews we found Hannah. It all worked out very well in our home which was exactly what our dogs needed. I highly recommend Hannah for your pet sitting needs. Very responsible and attentive, will book again!”


9. Crystal W.

“Crystal took such wonderful care of my 2 babies (cats) and provided lots of pics and video clips. I liked knowing that my fur kids were in good hands while I was away. Will definitely book again with Crystal and highly recommend her services!”

11. Aaron F.
About: I have some experience taking care of neighborhood dogs and cats, but most of my care experience comes from the animals I grew up with in my own home. I grew up with bigger dogs most of my childhood and even had a cat for a short time! I love all animals, big or small. I am a student who is quite involved on campus. I may have some availability during the day, but mostly in the evenings and on weekends. When at your place, I am comfortable taking your pups on walks, playing with them inside or outside, and doing really anything else they may need. I also love playing with cats or cuddling up with either of your pets on the couch if they just need some affection while you’re away.

About: I am very dependable and flexible right now. I worked for 2 years as a dog walker for a large company in Woburn,MA. Took care of all different sizes dogs and up to 15 at a time per pickup to the facility. Groups of 3 per family at a time. Very good with keeping dogs happy and exercised. The job was overwhelming at times but continued to do dog walking on the side because I loved it. Have also enjoyed getting to care for dogs in clients homes. They feel most comfortable there. I am a very loving and trustworthy person and I will respect your home as if it were my own. I am clean and will leave it looking better than it did when I arrived and a happy dog to come home to.
