“Crystal was a great sitter! She was very flexible and put both us and our Bluebell at ease during every phase on the process and stays (2 nights). She went out of her way to accommodate us and it worked out great. Thank you Crystal and thank you Rover!”
“Alyssa and Zach took great care of our dog. They sent pictures, and we saw that she had wonderful time walking on the beach. When we got her back, she was happy and relaxed. They also picked her up and dropped her off, even though it was quite a distance for them to drive. I should also mention that they agreed to take our dog on a very short notice - the same day when I contacted Alyssa. Very accommodating and punctual. We will be happy to let Alyssa and Zach take care of our pup again!”
“Finn is the second dog we have boarded with Michael. He is still a puppy. He was very happy at Michael’s and kept all of his good habits that he has learned so far! Great home and family atmosphere, the best.”
“It was such a relief booking with with her. She was able to take my dog last minute and catered to both of their personalities. She went above and beyond what I need her to do and definitely exceeded all my expectations. To the point, my dogs didn’t even wanna leave her. She accommodated them in every way for sure. Kept me updated with pictures and made the pick up and drop off very smooth. I can’t wait to book with her again. And I’m sure they would love to see her again as well.”
“I think my dog likes Liz more than me! He was happy to see me again and to come home, but if he could have, he would have moved her and her place in next door to us. Liz is gentle, picks up on important cues from the dogs, is thorough and just great. There was a complication in our premade arrangements with another sitter the night before we were scheduled to fly out of the country that could have ruined our 2 week honeymoon in Japan. Liz really stepped up for Rover and for us. She’s the very best.”
“Thank you, Natasha & Jonathan!!! Willow had the best time and made many new friends. We were so nervous leaving him with anyone other than family for 5 days but you gave us peace of mind with constant communication and he clearly had a great time. He will be back!”
“Chester is a senior and still recovering from CCL surgery, so we were concerned about leaving him. Rebeca came highly recommended and we are happy to add our recommendation. Rebeca and her family were patient and accommodating to ensure Chester was comfortable and stayed within his activity limits (so important for recovery). She also sent pictures every day. We have already booked another overnight stay and we highly recommend Rebeca.”
“Just retrieved Mercy from her stay with Slywia and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect caregiver. Loving, kind and fun. Sylwia sent us pics and videos thru the 5 days and Mercy got plenty of exercise and seems to have really enjoyed playing with River and Deshi. It makes leaving Mercy so much easier to know she is with a loving family. Thank you?”
“Julia is great. She took good care of my dog Ronny while we are on vacation. She replies message in a very timely manner and sends us Ronny’s pictures frequently to ensure Ronny is a good caregiver’s home. I would highly recommend Julia to anyone who need dog cater.”

I DO TAKE LONG WALKS DAILY AND WOULD LOVE COMPANY. I AM VERY ACTIVE AND WOULD CARE FOR YOUR ANIMAL WITH ALL MY ATTENTION.
“I can’t recommend her enough! Leaving my pup is never easy, but she made the entire experience stress-free from start to finish. She took the time to get to know my pup and understand her personality and needs, rather than treating her like just another dog. From the pics my pup ckearly had so much fun on her walks and adventures, and I really appreciated the regular photos, videos, and updates throughout her stay. It was such a comfort to see how happy and relaxed she was, and it was clear she was getting plenty of attention and affection. The biggest bonus was that she somehow got my notoriously picky husky to eat her meals! That alone says a lot about how comfortable and well cared for my pup felt. It’s clear Jodi genuinely loves the dogs and treats every dog like her own. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional care and peace of mind.”
About: I’ve been walking dogs for a year and love keeping them happy, active, and safe. Playtime and long walks are some of my favorite parts of pet care! I also enjoy spending time with cats, whether that’s play, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time student, so I’m not able to be in the home all day, but I make plenty of time for pets in the evenings and overnight. On weekdays, I can arrive around 5pm and stay through the night, though I’ll be away between 8am–5pm. Even with a busy schedule, caring for animals is something I truly love, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for all pets in my care. Dogs get secure walks on leashes, supervised playtime, and plenty of attention, while cats have a calm, comfortable space to relax or play. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and temperament, and follow any special instructions you provide to ensure pets are safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Jon, a dependable, active dog lover based in Beverly. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn off energy, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have an 11-year-old pup named Baxter, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your best friend. I know every dog has a different personality, pace, and routine, and I take the time to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. Outside of dog walking, I work full-time in leadership, where reliability, communication, and responsibility are part of my everyday life. You can count on me to be on time, attentive, and to treat your dog with the same care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! I’m primarily available on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I can also accommodate weekday requests with advance notice whenever my schedule allows. If you don’t see a time that works, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can make it happen! Every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or just enjoys companionship, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care. Safety is always my top priority. I’ll keep your pet secure, follow any feeding or medication instructions, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you’re away. I also believe communication is important. I’ll send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have taken care and grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with all types of dogs and behaviors! I work from home during the week so I have lots of attention to give your furry friends! I work from home Monday - Friday and waitress part time on Thursday - Saturday nights. I have plenty of free time for long walks or playing in my fenced in yard! I have one very energetic and playful dog at home. We go for long walks in the neighborhood or trail in the woods across my street and play fetch or tug of war all the time!
About: What sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with special needs. My beloved dog lived to be 14 years old and required daily insulin injections, medications, and extra care as he became blind and developed canine dementia. Through it all, I learned patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each pet's unique needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I will treat your pet with the same love, compassion, and attention that I gave my own. Whether your pet is young and energetic or a senior needing a little extra support, they will be cared for like family. Pet care fits naturally into my life because I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also love being outdoors and enjoy taking walks, so your pet will get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and one-on-one time. After caring for my own beloved dog for 14 years, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their normal schedule. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of attention and affection. Having cared for a senior dog with diabetes, blindness, and canine dementia, I am comfortable providing extra patience and care for pets with special needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owner is away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rockport
Grogu’s second visit with Suzanne. We spent the day at Cape Ann open studios while Grogu enjoyed multiple walks, playing ball, couch lounging cuddles and love with Suzzanne and her lovely daughter. Suzzanne’s Beautiful home surrounded by nature and creature comforts combined with her genuine love for dogs make for a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!!!
We love Kim! She went above and beyond to make our dog feel loved. Our pup gets anxious easily but was right at home with Kim from the beginning, and Kim did a lot during her stay to make her feel comfortable. She sent lots of updates to us, too, which was wonderful. We will book again with Kim in a heartbeat!
