About: My wife and I have spent the last two years caring for dogs on Rover, from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. Our training in positive-reinforcement techniques and our five-star reviews reflect the calm, reliable care we provide—always treating each guest like family. I’m currently an MIT student with a medical background building a startup, which means flexible hours and plenty of breaks for walks, playtime, and real-time photo updates throughout the day. Your dog will stay in our pet-friendly apartment, complete with safe, chew-proof spaces and a playful white Pomeranian who loves new friends. We maintain a clean environment, follow each pup’s routine to the letter, and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and secure.
“Banapsha is amazing! She made an immediate connection with Peanut who has some separation anxiety and has been through a lot of recent medical issues. She gave me frequent updates, pictures and asked questions when she was unsure what I would prefer in terms of her care. I hope to hire Banapsha again when she is available!”
“June was so excited to go back to Kelsey’s, she ran up the stairs and jumped up and down when she saw Kelsey. She went for multiple walks and we got adorable pictures of June looking so happy. We won’t hesitate to use Kelsey again.”
“Jeongeun was amazing! She sent tons of pictures throughout the day and was attentive and responsive. Really appreciated her care. Luka had a great day with Jeongeun. We will be reaching out again.”
“Tara was great!! Georgia had a great time and I received plenty of pictures which was awesome :) I would love love to leave Georgia with Tara again!”
“Tommy had a great first day with Olivia! She was very accommodating to him and gave us updates throughout the day on how he was doing which put us at ease as he can be an anxious pup and have difficultly adjusting to new people and situations. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Thanks for taking care of Mailbox!”
“Sydney was great! Responded quickly to a last minute request and sent updates throughout the day. Has a park right across from her and Franklin got plenty of exercise.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 10 years now. Friends often rely on me to take care of their dogs. I love taking dogs out on runs (if they enjoy running 🙂) and I love taking photos of doggies. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your pets. I’m available to board pets anytime (weekend and weekdays). I live in an apartment complex, in a friendly neighborhood with a doggie park and other parks close by, and a short walk from Esplanade.
“Thank You Veronica for looking after Valor this week! Hope to do again soon! Stephen & Anne”
“Sina helped with dog sitting Qiqi despite a last minute request. She did a wonderful job looking after him and was very communicative. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and he loved her from the moment he met her. She was very caring and made sure to ask if he had any special medications or behavioral issues to ensure that he had the most comfortable stay possible. He had a great time with her and after seeing the photos she shared with me periodically I felt comforted and thankful for Sina’s help.”
About: I'm an experienced, animal-loving, energetic person ready to treat your pets like my own! Growing up on a farm, I've been around animals of all kinds my whole life. I don't have any of my own, which means I'm ready to smother your pets with attention and care! I'm very fit and active, and love long walks or runs! If you're looking for someone to tire out your dog - I'm your girl. I have the most experience with large dogs, but are open to taking care of all sizes. I also have experience with puppies, and can accommodate daytime care. Unfortunately, no overnight boarding for puppies. I work from home part-time, with a flexible schedule for mid-day adventures outside. Your dog would get lots of attention during the day, and I would love the company! I own my condo with a dedicated patio, and live 1 block off the Charles River for long walks (or runs!). My unit features lots of stairs, so we’d like to discuss each animals abilities and preferences to make everyone comfortable.

“Kat is a phenomenal pet caregiver. She seems to have a special connection with dogs and is so understanding of what they need. Kat always took wonderful care of my Australian shepherd, Rambo. Rambo was reactive to runners and anything on wheels outside. Kat was very understanding of that. Rambo also loved trash both inside and out of the house and Kat knew how to make sure he didn’t eat things he shouldn’t. But most importantly Kat LOVES dogs and I always knew Rambo was in the best hands with Kat. Cannot recommend her enough!”
