“Requested Avary the day before and was immediately reached out to, to confirm the booking and get familiar with our puppy. Avary proceeded to communicate ETA, sending pics on arrival and kept me up to date on the good potty moments and the bad. Will definitely be rebooking and recommend Avary without any hesitation to anyone who needs a sitter!”

“Greg watched our two very needy yorkies in our home while we were away for a long weekend. He take wonderful care of them and have them lots of attention. He kept us in the loop with frequent updates and pictures which allowed us to really enjoy our trip knowing they were in such good hands :)”

“Chuk is the sweetest, kindest person and took incredible care of my dog. He sent terrific photos and videos while I was away. He also administered meds (better than I can!) and I came home to a super happy, well taken care of and loved dog! If there were more than 5 stars, I would give that. I can't wait for Murray to have another playdate with Chuck!!”

“Kristen took great care of our 18 month old labradoodle for 10 days. On our initial meeting, my wife and I loved his easy-going but responsible attitude and our girl took to him right away without any hesitation. A big bonus was Kristen's proximity to Prospect Park. We received lots of photos during her stay and Kristen was super fast replying to any questions we had. Kristen is definitely going to be our go-to sitter on our nights out and when we're out of town.”

“Meaghan did a phenomenal job with in home sitting over a weekend away! She was very punctual, professional, and did a great job with communication and sending updates. Would be happy to have her watch our dog again!”

“Jasmine was the perfect dog sitter for my senior special needs dog! Her vet background put me at ease with all the different instructions regarding Stella’s meds and any potential emergency care she might need in case her heart condition acted up. Stella was so happy to meet and see Jasmine, she got excited like she hasn’t in a long time and I can tell by how she acted when I came home that she had a great time with Jasmine 💗 an added bonus is that after her dogsit, giving Stella her liquid meds was so much easier! I don’t have to burrito her anymore and she doesn’t wiggle away in fear. I’m recommending her to my friends with animals who have medical issues. She’s an angel!”

“She was a wonderful dog and cat sitter. She took a great care of my dog and my cats, making sure they were happy, safe and cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in a good hands. She was reliable attentive, and clearly loves animals. I would happily recommend her and would definitely book her again.”

“book ren if you can! she was super super amazing with my socially problematic dog who has a biting history. ren did a great job reading his body language and knowing when to give him attention and when to give him space. she followed all the instructions i left and i came home to a tired and happy dog.”

“Another great experience booking with Jaidi! We came home to a very happy dog and a very clean house. It is so nice to know that while we are away our dog is in good hands. Can’t recommend Jaidi highly enough!”

“Desiree is a thoughtful and conscientious sitter. She stayed over and cared for my older cat and emo dog. She sent regular updates which gave me confidence while I was gone. Five stars. Highly recommend.”


“Kier is the best ! He is so communicative while we were away and kept us in the loop about how our baby was doing. He took such amazing care of our cat as if she were his own. He is truly an amazing sitter!”

“Chelsea is great! She watched my mini poodle while I was at work. My dog bonded with her very quickly. He loved taking long walks with her. She was great about communication and was flexible when I needed to change her start time. I will definitely be booking her again!”

About: With over 16 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I treat every pet like family. I have extensive handson experience with senior pets, animals with disabilities, and those who need daily medication or special care routines. Whether it’s a cozy boarding stay, a quick drop-in, a long walk, or house sitting while you’re away, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free. My goal is simple: to keep tails wagging, paws happy, and owners worry free! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I plan my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles—whether it’s my own pets or the ones I’m caring for. I keep a consistent routine to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m flexible with scheduling, so I can easily adjust to each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and keep plenty of clean water, cozy spots, and attention ready for them. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it—and their pets—with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all instructions carefully, keep things tidy, and make sure pets feel loved, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether it’s giving medication, handling special needs, or just offering extra cuddles, I focus on making every visit comfortable and consistent for the pets in my care.
“My father passed away unexpectedly and I had to leave for New York within minutes. My biggest concern was my two dogs. I reached out to Anna and she came immediately without hesitation. From that moment on, I was completely worry-free. She sent consistent updates, photos, and videos, and my dogs were clearly happy and well cared for the entire week. She stayed with them full-time and kept me calm during a very difficult time. When I returned home, my house was spotless and beautifully organized. She truly went above and beyond. She is the best dog sitter I’ve used in 9 years — 100% trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using her again.”

Roxbury pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tori was a wonderful cat sitter!! Our cat Kenji felt comfortable with her immediately and she regularly kept us updated on how he was doing, which we appreciated since we are super attached to him!! We are glad Tori stayed with him because he is quite clingy and we know she gave him all the love he needed, Would definitely recommend Tori to watch your cat!!
