“This was the second time Julie watched my cat Nani, and she was just as amazing as before. She’s easy to communicate with before and during. I came home to a very happy cat! Also, the photos she sends are so good :)”

“Lia always takes great care of our senior dog, who is not the easiest to deal with at times. Lia is reliable and responsive and we are happy to have someone to help us out when we need to go out of town without our dog. She’s helped us out on short notice a few times.”

About: I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, bunnies, hens and roosters. I have never lived without caring for an animal! I love being outside, going for walks, playing and gardening. I am a mom of two school-aged boys and a proud owner of two tuxedo kitties whom we adopted nine years ago. I work part-time in the afternoons as an outdoor preschool art specialist. I am free between 9:30 am, and 1 pm everyday, and Wednesday and Thursday until 3 pm! I may also have early evenings free starting at the end of June. I have plenty of time in my schedule to help you care for your animals. Looking forward to meeting them! I am fun, gentle, playful and caring, and have a good instinct for what dogs and cats need. I can read body language and am sensitive to energy. I look forward to learning more about your pets from you, getting to know them and forging a relationship.
“Katie is so nice and very professional! Joni warmed up to her right away, and I can tell she is going to be in great hands when Katie visits her! I’m so grateful, thank you Katie!!”

“Valerie was great with our puppy Blue! She was easy to communicate with, and took really great care of him. We were very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend her.”

“Morgan and Meaghan were able to accommodate us last minute which is always so appreciated. They also took time to meet us before so we could ask questions and vice versa. Poe seemed to love her and the pictures were awesome. They were on time and left great details so I didn't have to worry about my boy at all. Would definitely have them back the next time and recommend to anyone!”

“Jennifer took great care of our cats, who were in a complicated situation where they couldn't be allowed to see each other while we were away. Jennifer handled everything like a pro and we are so grateful. Thank you so much!”

“Lizz stopped by 3 times to take care of my 2 cats while I was away for the weekend. She had great communication, sent pictures of every visit, and was very good with cats. Her experience shows and I can’t recommend her enough!”


“Ann-Marie did a wonderful job taking care of our 10-year old Bernese Mountain Dog, Zeus. She stopped by to walk and spend time with Zeus three times a day for almost a week and provided helpful updates throughout. She was really great!”

“James was an excellent caregiver for my cat. He came over early to see the house and meet Finbar, sent nice updates and pictures. I would be happy to use his services again.”

“Meg was amazing! She stepped in last minute, was responsive and reliable, and clearly cares about the dogs. She asked great questions, sent updates and videos during her visits, and gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely book her again.”

“Jana was a perfect dog sitter! She accepted the job on very short notice and arrived early. She really saved the day! She was very gentle and loving with my tiny chihuahua puppy. I loved getting the picture updates. Thank you, Jana!”

About: Hey hey! My name's Victoria, but friends call me Rev. I moved here a couple of years ago now from Georgia, began pet sitting in April 2024, and it's currently my full-time job! I've been fascinated with animals since a young age, with about ~17 years of experience, mainly with cats. As I've gotten older, I've fallen in love with the human-animal bond, and have become passionate about their care and respecting each one the way they deserve. Regardless of your pet's personality, preferences, or needs, I'm excited to meet, care, and accommodate your little darling with the same love as you would! I hope to hear from you soon 😊! As this is my full-time job, I'm capable of prioritizing my schedule to work for you and your sweetheart(s). I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). If you're not sure, please feel welcome to ask! If I can fit them into my schedule, even on short-notice or alongside another sweetie, I'm more than happy to see what I can do. I've got the kind of guest attitude you can expect from a typical Southerner! I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them, and due to a background in housekeeping it's not uncommon for me to do some cleaning before I leave. You can trust to come back to your home just as you left it, if not with less dust than before!
About: I was in 4-H with my horse growing up - was raised with black labs, cats, and pigs. I volunteered to foster with PAWS and the Humane Society. I love having the flexibility of working remotely.... Keeping furry Family members company with much love, as well as getting to know new animal loving people! My current job has me working from home, occasionally having to spend a few hours a week performing tasks outside the home. I am never away more than a couple of hours (unless pre planned) so, I will have plenty of time to give your pet all the walks and playtime that they would like. I am very respectful and responsible. I can provide references upon request. I understand that each pet and household is different and will follow all requests exactly as specified.
“So glad to have found Caroline! it was Coco’s first time with a new person and the visit went great. Very good communicator. Really appreciate her taking care of Coco!”

Roslindale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marie did a great job caring for our two cats while we were away. She kept me tuned in with daily reports and photos snd communicated well with any questions she had during visits. And she kept my container plants alive during very hot weather! Both cats were calm and relaxed when I returned.

Cynthia was so great with our senior kitties! We needed someone on short notice and she was super responsive and easy to coordinate with. Both of our cats receive medication twice a day so it was super important for us to find someone who was comfortable with that responsibility. Cynthia made sure each one got what they needed and sent us detailed updates. We had an issue with our smart lock during one of her drop ins and she alerted us immediately and came back later that night after it was sorted to make sure our girls were taken care of. Would absolutely use her again in the future!

Fourth time is the charm! As always, Nathan took exceptional care of my two cats, and I love that they trust him so much. Thank you Nathan for going above and beyond caring for my packages and food shipments, I always am comforted knowing you are taking care of things at home! All the best, Stephanie.

Sophie did a wonderful job with our two cats! They clearly felt very comfortable with her, and I appreciated that she went above and beyond looking after them and our home, playing with them, keeping the place clean, and keeping us informed. Will gladly book her again :)

I was so anxious about leaving my two cats for several days but Avery made me feel so much more comfortable with it! She was kind, responsive, provided great photos and detailed updates, and she even went the extra mile to help with window closing/opening when it was raining and very hot. I am very grateful for her and her care for my animals. Absolutely would book her again. Thanks Avery!!

I highly recommend Elizabeth for all of your dog needs. I have 2 dogs, one is reactive, and she was very thoughtful and gentle with him until they grew trust together. Elizabeth is always on time, and follows through with all her commitments. She is trustworthy, communicative, and friendly. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone!
