“Amanda B. was such an amazing drop-in cat sitter for our two kitties! From our very first interaction, Amanda was super-responsive. This is a big plus in my book--it makes everything so much easier, and I find it reassuring. She was able to sit for us on very short notice, and she was kind and helpful in guiding us through the whole process as new Rover users. She easily captured all the information she needed during our meet-and-greet, and we loved the detailed summaries and photos she shared after each visit. Amanda went above and beyond even what we asked of her. For example, we wanted it to be a light lift, so we said it was fine to bag up the spent litter and leave it in the trash bin in our apartment. Amanda went the extra mile and took the litter out to our external trash can, so we didn't have to deal with it when we got home. We mainly wanted someone to change the litter and check on food and water while we were gone, but Amanda also spent some quality time petting and playing with Mimi (Mochi is shy), which both Mimi and we greatly appreciated. We don't have the need for a sitter often, but when the need arises again, I'd rebook with Amanda in a heartbeat!”

“Nathan was fantastic! I was concerned because my dog has some separation anxiety and we weren’t sure how she would do, but Nathan’s visits, updates and photos truly put me at ease. He took her to hang out with some of his regular dogs he works with and she did great and had fun. I will DEFINITELY be reaching out to Nathan again in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone else in the area. Thank you, Nathan!”

“Hannah took great care of Noori and sent me pictures which made my day as I did miss him while gone. Hannah was consistent, very communicative and professional. My cat takes a long time to warm up to anyone but with Hannah he didn’t take too long. The whole thing experience was smooth and seamless. I definitely recommend her and will definitely be booking her again for Noori.”

About: I’m new on Rover but I’ve long loved and cared for pets of all shapes and sizes! I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable following your specific routines and instructions. I’m delighted to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available throughout the week/weekend for walks and drop-in visits, including during normal working hours. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and am happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, and I’ll tailor my care accordingly. I’m careful to plan and steer walks to keep your best friend safe and happy—whether that means a fun, social walk for a dog who loves meeting others, or giving plenty of space to people and dogs for a pup who’s more cautious. I’ll follow your instructions closely, be careful with leashes and doors, and keep you updated during each visit.

About: I’ve been around and taken care of animals my entire life. Since I was born, my family always had at least 3 dogs at all times. We also had cats, fish, birds, rabbits, horses, turtles, snakes, bearded dragons, mice, and even opossums for a brief moment — all of which I have cared for. I’ve always been on hand to babysit neighbors animals and am often the go-to pet sitter when friends leave town. I respect the household rules while giving my new furry (or scale-y) friends plenty of attention. I work full-time, but I have the flexibility to work remotely. While I have meetings throughout the day, they are never more than an hour, and I can take plenty of breaks to get some energy out, for potty breaks, or for some pets. There’s nothing better than stretching your legs with a pup by your side. In my home, I use positive reinforcement to train, but include lots of activity so pent up energy doesn’t set my dogs up for failure. But, I believe in household rules, as consistency is most important in dog training. I will stick to whatever routine the client prefers.

About: Cats and dogs have always been the fur babies of my family. I have a bunch of dog cousins and I've raised and cared for several cats in my life through all stages of life. I work 8 hr shifts (6:30 am-3pm or 1pm-9pm). Outside of work, typically would run errands, but if i could, i would be able to walk or pet sit. I have worked full time and pet sit in the past. It would be great to pet sit because I love pets, but don't have them here in the city. Because I don't have pets here, however I would be able to pet sit either at my place or the clients place. I have a safe one bedroom apartment so I would always be near the fur baby if I am hosting. There are no other pet that could potentially cause discomfort for the client pet. I love to cuddle and play with cats, but i can also be patient and wait for them to come to me. I also have skills to administer topical and oral medicine if necessary.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 8 years of dog-sitting experience and 5+ years of being a dog owner myself. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely love. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs a relaxing day at home, lots of playtime, or long walks, I’m here to provide reliable and attentive care tailored to their needs. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors, so if your dog loves fresh air and long walks, we’ll get along great! I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly. Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care every step of the way. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I work just 8 minutes from home, so I’m able to come back in the afternoons to walk and check in on any canine friend. I also spend my mornings and evenings outside on long walks, and I’d love for your dog to join! Because of my schedule, dogs are never left alone for more than about 4 hours at a time. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and time outdoors throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and secure. I follow each dog’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or any specific instructions—to help them feel at home. I never leave dogs alone for more than about 4 hours, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and outdoor time every day. I’m always attentive to their behavior and needs, and I keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime to ensure their safety. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I aim to keep everything as consistent as possible for your pet. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet will always be treated with the same care, attention, and love as my own.

About: Growing up as the youngest and most dog-obsessed of four kids in a busy household, I naturally became my mom’s go-to partner for pet care. Today, I still help my mom care for our two small dogs, Caton and Pops. Because of their size, safety is always my top priority—I maintain constant vigilance against hazards like off-leash dogs, coyotes, and fast traffic. I also have extensive experience handling large, powerful dogs. On top of walking our family’s Giant Schnoodle, Boots, before he passed in 2023, I regularly walk and feed my best friend’s two Australian Shepherd–Pitbull mixes. They are huge, strong, high-energy pups, so I’m very comfortable managing heavy pullers and keeping big dogs fully controlled and safe on leash. I am dedicated to bring safety, structure, and genuine love to every walk. Currently, I’m a full-time pre-med student at BU studying Health Science. I’m a total morning person, so I’m available for early bird pet care before my 8:00 AM classes start, free every weekday afternoon after 2:00 PM, and fully open all day on weekends. I will treat your pet and home with the utmost respect by sticking strictly to your dog's familiar routine for feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks. As a pre-med Health Science student, I bring a detail-oriented mindset to every visit, easily following custom care plans, medication needs, and basic household instructions. On walks, safety is always my top priority: drawing from my experience protecting my own small dogs, I stay hyper-vigilant of hazards like off-leash pets, fast traffic, and local wildlife. Plus, my background with larger breeds like Giant Schnoodles means I can comfortably and confidently handle big, high-energy dogs with proper leash control. You'll never have to wonder how your pup is doing while in my care. Upon request, after every walk, visit, or day care session, I am willing to send detailed updates including photos, potty summaries, and a quick breakdown of your dog’s mood and activity level. My goal is to make sure you feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.

Sasha was very communicative with me about her schedule, the drop ins, and how my cats were doing. She gave me detailed updates and really made being away from my cats for the first time much easier because I knew they were in good hands. One of my cats is not a lap cat at all, and she even sat with Sasha on the last day of drop ins, which goes to show how great Sasha was with them!

This was my second time working with Dennis and he once again went above and beyond to make sure my senior kitty Sasha is taken care of. He is great with Sasha and put a lot of care into both ensuring that she was fed and received her medications, as well as made sure she received lots of pets and attention. Would definitely recommend!
