About: I have had a wide range of dogs, cats and other miscellaneous pets throughout my lifetime and I have a lot of experience with taking care of them. I have trained both of my current dogs in basic obedience (sitting, laying down, come, stay etc). I have loved animals for my entire life, and enjoy taking the time to get to know the individual needs of each animal in order to best care for them. I have in-home dog sat several times before, and I am very attentive and able to cater to any need your pet has while walking, sitting or playing with them. I also used to volunteer at the animal shelter, and I took one of my dogs to a training class to learn proper care and techniques. My husband and I recently got a adopted a puppy and we did a lot of research and “on-the-job” learning of how to raise a well-behaved dog! I am a grad student preparing for a new year! This summer, I have the time to spend time with your pets! My schedule is super flexible and I am able to care for the needs of your beloved animal! My style of care varies a bit from pet to pet. I really enjoy training, and getting to know different animals. An important part of pet care, especially for dogs, is to make sure they have their mental and physical needs met. I am happy to spend time working with your pup (whether in training or socialization practices), exercising them, and making sure they have everything they need. I look to build a bond with the animal to make sure they feel safe as well!

“Nathan is the best. He has been so great with Lavender. She loves him and he takes her to meet and play with other dogs. She loves that and we’re so new to the area, we haven’t found her some dog friends yet. It is great because I worry less about leaving her when I have to travel and am more excited for the things he will take her to do. I highly recommend Nathan to other pet owners. Thank you, Nathan!”

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 grew up around cats and dogs my whole life (up to four dogs and 3 cats at one point) and I love all types of animals. I frequently cat/dog sit for my friends for weekends and week-long periods. I am experienced in giving medication to cats and dogs (inhaler, pills, IV fluids for cats) I am available most weekends and most Fridays I work from home. I am happy to help early morning or afternoon/evening with feeding or walking, etc! I unfortunately cannot accommodate caring for cats and dogs in my home but I am more than happy to go to your house and care for them there!

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.

“Julie was awesome in every way - she responded right away and arranged an expedited meet and greet for my dog Willow to get to know her. She asked questions that made it clear she is familiar with taking care of all kinds of dogs. She was very reliable for multiple check ins and clearly loves animals - she took plenty of pictures of my dog and cat for me to see! Would happily recommend her rover services to anyone.”

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life and have always loved taking care of them. I've had multiple dogs at a time in my family, both big and small, so I'm very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've been taking dogs on walks, playing with them, feeding them, and helping take care of them for as long as I can remember. I've also spent a lot of time caring for cats, including very small kittens, so I'm comfortable with cats as well. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know them. Whether it's an energetic dog who needs lots of walks and playtime or a more laid back pet who just wants some company and attention, I’m happy to give them the attention they need! I Work from home Part time so your pet will not be home alone for long stretches of time. He will join us and our dog Muesli in our home, and get lots of attention. My dog and I go on two 45 minute walks a day as well as a short walk to the grass before bed time (of course we can talk about your dog's regular walking schedule as well). We don't have a private yard, so dogs are always kept on a leash when we're outside unless we're inside a completely enclosed dog park. I’m also careful about making sure doors and gates are secure and keeping an eye on dogs around things they could get into or eat. I’m happy to follow any instructions for your pet's routine, food, medications, and any specific things they need.

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: I've always loved dogs! When I left home for college, I adopted my first one and by the time i graduated I ended up with 3! All of them are mutts and range from 75lbs to 35lbs. My oldest one is about 4 and weighs 75lbs and is a pit lab mix, I'm use to the high energy and burst of energy and also just laying around being a couch potato. My other two are also very much bursts of energy and then couch potatoes who love cuddles and naps! I moved to the Cambridge area recently and my apartment doesn't allow pets at the moment and therefore, my pups are at home and I am missing the wagging tails and walks! I am very experienced with high energy dogs and just being there with them, allowing them to play! I have experience with puppies (since I recently adopted one a year ago and trained her) and have the patience to care for them as well! For the past 4 years I've gained a lot of experience with having my own, and now not having them around me is making me sad and I think being able to share my love with another dog in the area would make my day and a dog waggy :) I work full time from 9-5 however I have time in the morning prior to work and after to do pet care. As well as on the weekends when needed :) I have crates for my dogs, because it provides a space for them but also a piece of mind for me when I am not around! I am comfortable with crating a dog and walking them on leash due to the safety of the animal.

“Jordan did a fabulous job taking care of our cat. She sent us photos and notes on how Chip was doing each day. We could tell from the pictures that he was content and very happy with Jordon’s drop in visits!! We will be requesting Jordan again in the near future as her communication skills and punctuality are top notch. We highly recommend Jordan for your fur babies care.”

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!
