About: I have taken care of dogs during trips and overnight visits, feeding, playing with, and walking them. I love spending time with pets and am open to caring for any type of dog. Iâm currently looking for temporary work and have a lot of free time! Available for day visits as well as overnight, whatever is needed. I am a gentle and adaptable animal lover and I enjoy playing with, caring for, and spending time with dogs and cats of all kinds.
âTauryn was amazing with our two dogs! She was punctual and communicative. The pictures she sent were so cute. They both seemed so happy when we returned from our trip! We will definitely use her for drop in care again!â

âLucy did a great job watching Chica and Benji! She did everything we asked and the pets were super happy when we came home with no accidents anywhere! We will 100% reach out to her again.â

About: I became a dog lover 15+ years ago when my family got our first dog, Sir. Since then, Iâve loved dogs and have become the person friends/family/coworkers turn to do dog sitting. Iâm a Nurse in Boston and have a fluctuating schedule but would love to fit in some walks or boarding when I can! I miss having a dog of my own in my life so taking care of yours I will treat it as my own! Also even though I am at work, my roommate also loves dogs so would be home with them while Iâm at work until I come home so their needs during the day would be taken care of! My boyfriend has a cat that is 6yo and she is very chill/sweet but more of a scaredy cat who likes her own private space away from everyone. If a dog or another cat were to approach her she would most likely just hiss and move on about her day so a dog who is friendly towards cats/doesnât care is perfect! I work full time and can be home by 3/3:30 unless working an off shift. On weekends I have the most flexibility and on some weekdays after 3p I would be able to do walks or drop ins. I have a male roommate that WFH and loves dogs so he would be home with them while I am away during the day so theyâre never fully alone unless heâs in office that day! Iâve taken care of many of my family/friends dogs and I tend to like to stick to the schedule they are used to at home to help alleviate any stress that comes with a new environment. I have experience in giving medication to dogs including oral, IM, IV as well. I do now have a 6yo cat so want to make sure they are comfortable around a cat who is very chill and reserved.

âLindsay was incredible with Sunny. She was very thorough during the meet and greet. She gives detailed updates with great pictures. Overall she goes above and beyond. I would definitely recommend.â

âJennifer is consistently great with my elderly cat and his multiple meds. She's also been able to roll with the punches when various things have gone wrong while I'm away, and although I wish she hadn't had to deal with any issues, it does make me feel very confident that she can handle whatever comes up!â

âElla took excellent care of my elderly cat, keeping her company and administering her medication. She provided detailed notes and many pictures after each drop-in. I also appreciate that she left everything neat and tidy.â

âI highly recommend Morgan and Meaghan! They were great at communicating and sending pics and even made sure I was back in town after the weekend:) Iâll definitely have them pet sit again!â

âMeg 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. Iâll definitely book her again.â


âAnne-Marie was absolutely wonderful. I met her for the first time just before leaving on an 11 day trip, and I was pretty nervous because Iâd never left my pets for that long before. She immediately put me at ease. It was so clear from the thoughtful updates and photos she sent that they were happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying her company. Knowing they were being so well cared for allowed me to fully enjoy my trip without worrying. Anne-Marie is incredibly thoughtful, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. She truly went above and beyond.â


âI wish I could give more than 5 stars because Kristen is just that good! We had an emergency this morning and Kristen was able to come last minute to take care of our pups. She did so fully knowing that there would likely be a crate full of poop when she arrived. She is so great with our pups and we trust her completely!â

About: Hi! I'm a recent graduate who lives with a senior cat; I have a lot of experience with senior pets, special needs pets, medication administration, etc. I'm able to exercise with and play however your dog likes! I've been pet sitting and walking dogs for my friends and family (and Wag!) for over a decade (dog in the profile picture is my brother's dog Kuma!) Pets bring me so much joy and I want to help take care of them as a community effort :) I'm here to build trust, please ask any questions 𫰠I am a gig worker currently, therefore very flexibleârequest me and there's a high chance I'll be available! I'm around weekends and weekdays, my own cat has plenty of alternate caregivers. I would not be able to host pets in my home, but would follow any rules at clients homes to make pets feel safe and regulated :) consistency helps them and me!
About: I have been taking care of my neighbors animals since I was 10 years old. I am reliable and communicative. I am good with giving medicine if needed. When I lived in New York I was walking dogs in the morning and the evening making sure to leave enough time for play time, their breakfast, and dinner! I have a tuxedo cat and my main goal is to always make sure she is happy! I will do the same with your babies. I always make sure the dogs are leashed before leaving the house and make sure the front door or fence is closed so they donât escape.
About: Along with growing up having two large dogs and walking them every day, I have been taking care of cats since I was 14 years old! Iâve helped with training my own puppy and have cat-sitted for young, old, and even diabetic little guys. I am about to begin Graduate School to be a Librarian at Simmons College and have time before and after my classes throughout the week. I love all animals and am happy to play and run with them outside. They will feel nothing but love and care from me when we spend time together outside or in your home!
About: I have done a lot of animal sitting since I was in high school looking after my nieghbors dogs and cats when they were away. I am a huge animal lover but I am best with dogs and cats. Before I went to college my nieghbor had just bought a puppy and we had just got a cat, I trained the cat and I did most of the dog walking for the puppy. Being able to play and care for animals is the best job I can think of. I canât wait to meet your fur baby! I would love to be able to work with familiar clients and their animals. I provide over night pet sitting services, dog or cat walking, and drop inâs. I can take care of your fur babies Friday to Monday, for anything outside that time I may have availability, so just ask! I work a full time job 8am-4:30pm Monday to Friday. I typically go off the rules you lay out for your pet along with their usual routine. I want to make things as easy as possible for you and your pet. If you have a list of dietary restrictions or medication they need to take, Iâm happy to learn as well as get them the care they need. If they have a specific dinner or walk time, I want to make sure I stick to it for you.
âI was initially super anxious about using this service, but Stephen put my mind at ease with incredible care, kindness, and communication. Amazing sitter, went above and beyond. Thank you!!!â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roslindale
Ella was amazing to work with. She was super responsive and took excellent care of Blue. I loved how much feedback she gave in her rover cards. It was such a weight off my shoulders to know Blue was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely ask Ella to watch Blue again in the future.

Dominique was very kind and helpful with the cats! I hate leaving them, but Dominique sent lots of pictures and made sure they were well taken care of! She always came right on time and stayed to make sure the cats had enough play time. Overall, a fantastic cat sitter!

As always Julie is amazing! Our shy boy Marzipan has grown to absolutely love her. We have since gotten a new kitten, and she did great with him. He spent his visit playing and snuggling with her. Julie is very detail oriented and always makes sure we know any important information and genuinely cares about the job sheâs doing to keep our pets safe and happy.

Jadeth and Noah have been great when watching Oreo! Both times they did me a huge favor of checking in on him while I was away. Doing everything I asked, and showing a lot of care with socialization. He can be shy, so it is always a good sign when he is very affectionate with people watching him!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your petâs routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your petâs mood and energy levels.
Whether youâre at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Roslindale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitterâs needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, donât forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justiceâs National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
