“Stacy was superb! We had a last minute need due to our flight getting cancelled and Stacy was very communicative and flexible during a moment of a lot of stress. My pups were very well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. My house was well taken care of as well. Would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and punctual, and we really appreciated the photo updates she sent of our dogs while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and we’ll definitely be using her again the next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“What an amazing sitter! Took great care of my cat for multiple weeks, and put up with all of her behavioral quirks and sent me tons of photos and updates as well. I felt completely at ease and would absolutely book again. Thank you!”
“I couldn't have asked for a sweeter and more caring sitter than Claudia!! Our fur-baby is our angel and she absolutely ADORED Claudia the moment she met her - my heart overflowed with relief and happiness knowing Claudia would be caring for her. Thank you for everything, Claudia!!!!”
“Kristen did a great job housesitting and taking care of our 93 lb chocolate lab! She was very clean, took Jake for a walk, and even drove him to his doggie daycare the next morning. She send plenty of pictures and communication as well!”
“Jackie was very professional and sweet with Willie- she took great care of my apartment and was great at staying in touch with me while I was away. Absolutely will book with her again!”
“Claire stayed at our apartment with our dog and was super communicative, attentive and thoughtful! She sent us lots of photos which we appreciated so much and left the house clean and in order. We felt so confident while traveling that Jeter was in good hands! Would definitely recommend Claire!”
“We are incredibly grateful to Ailise for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Pepe, over a long weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals, and she treated Pepe with so much love, attention, and patience. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pepe felt comfortable and happy in her care. Ailise was also extremely respectful of our home and she went above and beyond to ensure things were just as we left them. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Ailise to look after Pepe again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Emily was wonderful with our 10mo puppy, giving him attention and providing enrichment throughout the day, taking him on his midday walk and feeding him lunch. We came home to a happy, wriggly, sleepy puppy. Emily also left the sweetest report card and polaroid shot of Kiwi at the end of the day :)”
“Very attentive and communicative, she understands directions well and clearly enjoys cats. She has some conflicts with her schedule as she is a student but overall, I would hire her again.”
“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”
“I was nervous to leave my pup since he has lots of meds and health issues but Tommy was super attentive and made me feel so comfortable to be away. They sent lots of pics and updates which I loved. Will definitely book again!”
“Luis and his wonderful wife Kimmy accepted my last-minute house-sitting request—I’m so grateful to them! They were warm and friendly, and my dog immediately warmed up to them! I would definitely book with them again.”
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have four dogs at home in Wisconsin (golden retriever, black lab, and two German shepherds!). I miss them a whole bunch and would love the opportunity to hang out and take care of any dogs! As a recent college graduate, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays throughout most weekdays and weekends. I love spending time with dogs and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s specific routine whenever possible. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and following owner instructions carefully. I’ll treat your pet like my own, providing a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.
“Julia took excellent care of my dog (and condo!) while my husband and I were out of town. She proactively made sure she knew all of the details needed for his care and comfort ahead of my trip. She also sent me great updates throughout so I knew he was safe and happy. My dog was in good spirits when we got home so I am very confident he was taken stellar care of! We are thrilled with his care and would highly recommend Julia as a dog sitter!”
“We used Cynthia again and Al were once again very happy with her care towards our pups. She is very attentive and you can tell how much she cares for them. She is a great communicator and sends lots of pictures.”
Roslindale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cyn took excellent care of our 3 small dogs in our home while we were away on a 5 day trip. Our Morkie takes awhile to warm up to strangers but Cyn was eventually able to get her to go on walks with the rest of the pack. We received updates and photos every day, walks to the nearby park and throwing the ball for our mini Aussie (sorry he doesn't retrieve the ball!). While our dogs were excited to see us return, they went right back to their normal behavior soon after. This is the main reason we hired Cyn to stay in our home and know she took special care of our loved ones. Upon picking up our mini aussie after boarding with a local business, he was "shell shocked" for a day or 2 after which is exactly why we are so grateful to have found Cyn as a caretaker.
Stacy was absolutely wonderful sitting for my anxious and playful dog while I was out of town. She was highly communicative, flexible, and always went above and beyond. I could not recommend Stacy's services more highly and will surely count on them to watch my dog again in the future!
Katie did a great job. She took the time to get to know us, as well as Maisie and Jack and their routines. She made sure to do this before she came to care for them. Maisie and Jack are two senior pups and what they need most is comfort and companionship. It was clear that Katie offered them all of that and more. They were quite content when we came home, which is the best sign of success. Katie kept us posted during our trip with updates and funny videos that made us feel better about being away. The house was perfect and we stepped back in as if we never left. She was very thoughtful about everything. I hope that the next time we travel Katie is available again. Thank you Katie, you made our wonderful get-away worry-free!
My dogs are older with reactivity and separation anxiety. I've had issues with getting the right sitter but Nadya did awesome. The meet and greet went well. Nadya was comfortable with their complex med regimens (each are on at least 3 meds each, and once twice a day) and walking the both of them. I had zero complaints about barking from my neighbor and landlord, which was an issue in the past. Nadya obviously loves dogs as well
Amazing pet and house sitter. We felt completely at ease being out of the country while Sofia watched our beagle and stayed at our house. Everything was neat and clean, dog fed and walked, plants watered. Would highly recommend Sofia and hope to hire her again!!
Ali was amazing! Our normal sitter was unavailable and she took perfect care of Mabel and Bugs, our dog and cat respectively. She sent many updates, handled last minute requests, and communicated perfectly! We were always so happy with her updates and will definitely book with her again!
