“Rachel was great taking care of my two cats all weekend. She sent photos and made sure they were well taken care of for all of the visits. She cleaned the litter box and was respectful of our home. Would definitely have her pet sit again for my cats and my dog as well.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of multiple sizes and breeds from the age of 8. I have always been a natural dog lover! Although newer to cats, my experience in the field of ABA has made me patient, dependable, and attentive to behavior and routines. I follow instructions carefully and provide calm, compassionate, and individualized care, no matter the population or demographic I am working with! I am currently in my masters program for applied behavior analysis, gaining my fieldwork for ABA. I have flexible hours and often have availability periodically throughout the day! If communicated prior, I am easily able to accommodate most schedules. I communicate with the owner to ensure I understand each pet’s routine, providing feeding, walks, play, or medication all as directed, as each pet has their own individual needs! My priory is to maintain attention while keeping the clients home clean and secure.
“Jordan was literally a lifesaver. I initially hired her to come check on my cat a few times a day while I was across the country, but after a disaster with another pet sitter she ended up caring for my five month old puppy Scout too. My puppy can be quite a handful, but Jordan did everything possible to care for her. She went way above and beyond taking care of both of my pets, including regularly carrying Scout up a steep flight of stairs because she can’t climb them well. I got plenty of updates and pictures and never once doubted my pets were in great hands. She even brought my cat some new toys, which he’s been batting around for hours. I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate her care and attention in an emergency situation, and I know my pets feel the same way.”
“Micky was great at communicating while I was away and took great care of Lulu when she was stressed or anxious. Even bathed her when she ended up peeing on herself! Will be rebooking for boarding if traveling again :)”
“Jeremy and Rui were fantastic. They seemed to love Baby Simmons as much as we do. They were super responsive and caring about all the smallest details. All the visits were timely and the photo updates were adorable. I immediately booked them for our next trip out of town!”
About: I have experience working with dogs and cats through pet sitting and hospital experience. I have owned dogs for the past 16 years, chinchillas for the past 5 years, and hedgehogs for the past 7 years. I am able to detect symptoms and abnormalities that may require medical attention. I enjoy bringing my pets to a variety of places such as state parks, pet stores and public pet events. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I do not mind staying over for overnight care. My time is pretty flexible for now and I am able to drive to locations within an hour radius using my own car. I have a finished basement that would be used for the pets I care for. It has a bathroom with a hand held shower for easy bathing. I have a crate available for use for dogs under 30 pounds. The basement also has direct access to the back yard for easier potty times. The temperature in the basement is cool during the summer. In the winter the temperature would be adjusted using an electric fire place. Dogs would get enrichment through daily walks, puzzle toys and trick training. Cats would have access to the whole basement to free roam but will not have access to outdoors.
“Richie was very accommodating and receptive to the needs of our kittens. He was delightful to communicate with and responsive to all our needs. I would highly recommend him and use him to care for our kittens in the future. Thank you for all the tenderly loving care.”
About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.
About: Hello- I have cared for dogs of every kind since I was around 10, walking dogs in the neighborhood. Finally, after putting it at the top of my Santa list every year growing up, my first family dog came in HS. He was an Italian West Highland Terrier , so we landed on the unique name Buddy, naturally. I love dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. I believe in nurture over nature. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Dog parks , forest walks and the beach are always options ♥️ Currently serving South End, Savin Hill, Squantum and South Boston neighborhoods I am currently very available, especially during the week. I am able to take your dog out as frequently as they may need. Available at short notice as well. I can wake up early and can wake up at night for puppies as well. I have a fenced patio and a nice surrounding neighborhood for walks. I have no pets. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I can also bathe your dog if they’re willing 😍
“Natalie was great! She was super friendly and responsive, she took lots of photos, and kept me updated :) It's hard to tell what cats are thinking, but I think they liked her too ;)”
About: My experience with pet sitting includes caring for and starting the training of a local breeder’s puppies to go to their forever homes or to brief service animal training, house/pet sitting for extended vacations, dropping in for occasional visits as needed, as well as having cared for my own animals since I was young. I look forward to working with you! Your pet’s care will be my first priority as this is my full time commitment for the time that I am there. Contact me day or night and I will be with you as soon as possible. My service to your pet will be above and beyond what is asked of me. When you return you will find a happy and healthy furry family member!
About: Growing up with pets all throughout my childhood. I have vast experience and understanding of all types of animals and all types of different situations. I am available by request. And can be available any day at any time. Extremely flexible schedule. Please let me know your needs and let's make it work! I can sit your animal at your home if necessary or board at mine. Owner instructions is super important. Keeping your pet on their accustomed routine.
“Raul has stayed with our cat, Flopsi, twice now. I can happily say my cat and I were comforted by the care and attention Raul showed him over both visits. Raul has a gentle, calm nature that helps put even a nervous boy like my Flops at ease. Raul also took great care of our home, keeping it clean and tidy. We’re so happy we found such a reliable, responsible sitter for Flops. We already plan to have Raul back for a longer stay during an upcoming trip.”
“Moonti helped me out last minute and was so amazing! My cat is super shy and she was so patient and accommodating. I really appreciated the updates I got and how communicative she was. Highly recommend!”
About: I volunteer at my local animal shelter and I am great with both dogs and cats. I grew up with my cat, Hepsiba, born before me who died when I was nearly 20 years of age. We were best friends before I knew what that was. Then at the age of 12 or so, my parents adopted 2 English cocker spaniels, brother and sister. Robbie and Flora. So I was taking care of three pets. Then I raised Bruce, a rescued black lab mix from August 2013 until 2025 with some breaks for the US Army. And I taught him very well; he passed in June 2025 but he will always be my companion at my side. For some time I carried him, 120 lbs, up and down flights of stairs. Sometimes from here to there, carefully, comfortably, gingerly. I have a background in psychology, and I’m a dog trainer and a bit of a behaviorist. I’ve taken care of pets for family members and friends. And did so professionally in the past prior to Rover, after friends got me into it, which I started in August 2025. I’m great with animals. After spending even just a short time with them we can often establish a connection or rapport, especially when training a younger pet (or caring for an older dog). I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, I could run with your dog, play with them, but mostly we’ll be doing what they want - within reason. I will basically be spending the entire time with your pets. We’ll wake up between five to eight in the morning, and we’ll go bed between eight and eleven at night. I’ll be up with them as they need and we’ll be in and out much more than is required. I am delicate and meticulous and believe in leaving no trace that I was there. I want my client after their time away from home and their animals to not be met with the mess that I could be leaving behind. I am committed to performing an act of cleaning based on the tools available.
About: I am a dedicated pet sitter with extensive experience caring for pets. My background includes managing daily routines, administering medications, and ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise and affection. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every pet, providing peace of mind for their owners. No problem for me! I work a few days a week but nothing I cannot manage. I will still be very present when staying with your dog! What’s not better than letting your pup stay in their own home instead of a kennel while you’re away?! I am a very prompt replier via phone call and text message. I will continue your daily routine with your pup as if you never left & I will always give them care/ love like they are my own:)

Patti is incredible!! She is attentive and detail-oriented, which is important when you have an older cat who needs insulin injections and other medication. She is so caring and warm, our girl loved her immediately! We appreciated her thoughtful notes and photos at every visit, and were thrilled to come home after a long travel day and find homemade treats waiting for us! Patti truly goes above and beyond - we are so grateful to have found her.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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.
