“There’s truly no one else I would trust with my dog more than Michael. He’s kind, caring, and so thoughtful with Oliver. My dog absolutely adores him! you can tell they have the best time together. Michael always sends great updates and the sweetest pictures that make my day and give me peace of mind knowing my dog is in great hands. He’s incredibly reliable, always on time, and very responsive if I ever have any questions or last-minute schedule changes. I’ve been working with Michael for a long time now, and it’s been nothing but a wonderful experience. He really goes above and beyond! from drying Oliver after rainy walks to remembering little details about his routines and quirks. I honestly don’t know what we’d do without him. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Neha was fantastic! She took the time to meet Comet the day before his first walk, which was incredibly helpful. It was clear that she's experienced with dogs and understands the concerns of anxious pet owners. During Comet's walk, Neha was very patient with him while he was adjusting to having a new walker. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos of Comet. Neha is highly professional and a true expert in dog care”
“Caroline was great to work with! She was very communicative and worked with me to find a good time to meet my dog and take him for a walk. He was very happy and tired when he got back. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Caroline again!”
About: Hello! My name is Ashley and I love pets. I had a lovely hound dog for 14.5 years and have enjoyed the company of various furry critters. I have experience with reactive dogs, larger dogs and also enjoy spending time with cats. I miss spending time with my pup and other dogs. I enjoy morning and evening walks so would love a chance to take your animal out or spend time with them when you're goine. I love to get to know pets and their personalities and respond to the type of care that make them feel secure and loved. I think a good walk is one where the dog has time to enjoy and sniff and come home feeling ready to rest.
About: I am a 20 year old college student home for the summer. I helped care for my beloved childhood dog for 13 years before he passed last march. Our house is empty now and I would love to care for your dog! I also have a year of experience volunteering at a dog shelter where I fed, walked, bathed, and helped socialize the dogs. I am a dog lover and would give your dog lots of love! I will be able to walk dogs anytime before 3pm all days except Saturday. For boarding, I am living with my parents so they and/or my partner will be able to step in to help care for your dog when I am away at work. I can also offer morning/afternoon day care anytime before 3pm. I will have plenty of time in the morning and afternoon to play with your fur baby! I have an unfenced yard out front, but can walk your dog leashed around the neighborhood and in the front yard! I live in a single family home with no other pets. I have dog toys, leashes, and dishes for food and water. I do not have a crate or pen, so this will need to be provided if needed for your dog. Preferably non shedding dogs for boarding.
About: Grew up with dogs, owned a cat for 10 years. Volunteered at Hawaii Humane Society. Experienced, no fuss, and reliable. Your pet’s needs covered, stress free. I just graduated and I’m taking some gap time to decompress because it was hard and I’ve earned it. My schedule is very flexible and open. I’ve taken care of my pets, my friends’ pets, my roommates’ pets and I’ve done volunteer work. My cat is my son and my husband. I love on him when he wants it and I let him be when he doesn’t. If you leave instructions for me and tell me what is needed I’ll follow them. I’m also able to keep a cool head in emergencies. You can rely on me to communicate and make informed decisions.

About: I grew up loving and caring for animals! I’ve cared for animals in personal and professional capacities and always find so much joy in spending time with animals. Currently, I have two cats at home and numerous other animals in my life. I currently work 4 days per week and work remotely half of the time.

I will work collaboratively with you to ensure your pets receive the best care possible.
“Bailee is one of the BEST dog walkers I’ve ever had. She took my dog out to the dog park in the pouring rain, stayed there the full 30 mins and came back with a huge smile on her face and my dog wagging her tail happily. As she was leaving, my dog was pulling to go after her! It was clear they had an amazing time together :) Overall, your dog will be in the absolute BEST care in her hands. I am so happy with her and definitely will be using her as my dog’s walker regularly!!”
About: I have had dogs and other animals (cats, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs) for most of my life. I have lots of experience taking care of animals. I will take good care of your pet like he/she is part of the family. They will receive lot's of attention and love. I will send you photos and updates on how they are doing. I can take them to the groomer if needed, water plants, pick up mail etc. while you are away. You don't have to worry they will be in good hands. I worked as a Veterinary assistant when I was in college. I love animals and will treat them as if they are my own. They will get belly rubs and lots of attention. If you need some light housekeeping while you are away we can discuss that as well. Your dog will never be left alone. I do leave the house I will either take your dog with me to do errands or he/she will stay with my housemate who is also a pet sitter while I go do an errand. We can discuss what routine your dog is used to so that he/she feels comfortable while you are away. I will do my best to accommodate his/her and your needs.
About: I’m extremely gentle, friendly, and nurturing with all dogs. I follow instructions carefully to ensure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for every time. Pet care fits naturally into my weekend routine as I dedicate specific times around it to provide attentive, reliable visits. During the weekends, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. No matter the time of the day, I can ensure pets get consistent care. I prioritize flexibility and clear communication to fit pet care seamlessly alongside my other commitments. I care for pets in my home by keeping a consistent routine for both my dog and my parent in laws’ dogs who stays with us. I make sure to take them out on time for potty breaks, provide daily playtime to keep them engaged, and take them on long walks to help them stay active and healthy. I’m attentive to their needs and prioritize creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy.

About: I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I grew up with a house full of pets as a child (dogs, cats, rats, ferrets). As an adult, I spent 16 wonderful years with a mini-schnauzer who taught me all about life and caring for a dog with a lot of personality! I was lucky enough to be with him from when he was young and had lots of energy all the way through his senior years when he needed extra care and love. My partner and I are used to having a dog in our house and would love the opportunity to share our home with yours! I work from home with a very flexible schedule from Mon- Fri. I can change my schedule to suit the needs of your pet! While I sometimes travel on the weekends, if I am home I can be completely available for your pet. Currently my home has no pets so yours would get undivided attention from my partner and I. We have a backyard that has a patio section and a grass-ey section. It is ~90% fenced in. We lived with a senior dog in this apartment for a number of years which encouraged us to create a comfy and safe space.

Niki T.
“Niki is an exceptional pet parent. I have never seen a cat adore its owner more than Fox loves Niki. We are roommates and she always feeds him on time and plays with him until he no longer has the energy to play. She makes sure there’s enrichment in his life as well as many cuddles. He is a sensitive boy with pretty severe allergies and she is vigilant in making sure he stays healthy. She routinely grooms him and if I had a pet of my own I would not hesitate to ask Niki to care for my baby!”

“Jordan has been caring for our dog Bailey for a few years, whether it's for dog walks or boarding. He genuinely loves dogs and always makes sure they have what they need. I see this all the time when he interacts with his own dogs and Bailey. He is also responsible, reliable, and communicative--all of which are important for you to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else's hands. I highly recommend Jordan for your pet caregiver needs.”

Roslindale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sienna is really an impressive young lady. A genuinely thoughtful person. And smart, a good listener and great communicator. Always updating me on her schedule and arrivals and any other relative info. Always upbeat. I knew when I met her my dog was in good hands. I can’t recommended her enough!
My dog had a fun time with Raymond! It was a hot day so per my instructions they had a shorter walk mixed with more indoor playtime (and my dog loves both so he was a happy boy). Raymond was able to do a meet and greet before the walk which I appreciated. Would definitely use him again!
If you’re looking for a trustworthy dog walker, Karen is it! We are so grateful to have found Karen to walk Louie, who can be very strong at times. Karen is always punctual, communicates very well, and provides great recaps following each walk. I never have to worry about Louie when Karen walks him as her expertise in dog walking was evident on the day we met. She always has Louie’s best interest in mind and communicates about weather and is flexible with providing alternatives (usually cuddles!) with Louie on days where it’s too hot to be outside for a long period of time. Thanks so much for caring for Louie!
There’s truly no one else I would trust with my dog more than Michael. He’s kind, caring, and so thoughtful with Oliver. My dog absolutely adores him! you can tell they have the best time together.

Highly, highly recommend!

- Cute photos and a personalized note

In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.
