“Matthew and Jennifer were so easy to work with and took amazing care of our labradoodle. I got pictures each day and little updates along the way. Thank you for welcoming her into your home.”
“Giseli was great - her two dogs were wonderful, she was super flexible with us, and our golden retriever had a wonderful time with loads of walks and play. She sent pictures throughout which made us very happy and comfortable that all was well, as this was Duke's first stay away from home.”
“Sunny is our go-to for the past 3-4 years whenever we need to board Lucky. Every time Lucky went straight into their house without even looking back at us. He is definitely spoiled when staying with them. We really would wish to continually have Sunny to watch for Lucky, but sadly we are relocating to the west coast. Lucky will miss them so much!”
“Jennifer was exceptional! She was extremely flexible and kind towards us and our pup JoJo. JoJo immediately felt comfortable with Jennifer and her tiny chihuahua. They played and took a nice walk together. Jennifer had great communication and sent a cute video and a few pics! We would highly recommend her services and would definitely have her watch JoJo for us again!”
“Daniella is the best!!!!! She’s so flexible and easygoing, has excellent communication, and she was so sweet and awesome with our elderly dog, Olive. Absolutely will be booking her again!!!”
“Just picked our Sophie up from her third visit with Lora P. and she came through yet one more time! Sophie was happy to go there (no shakes on the way in like with kennels) and Sophie was happy and healthy when we returned a few days later. She will get to spend more time with Lora soon and we know she will have yet another wonderful experience!”
“Janice was wonderful and took Harper on so many fun walks! She was super responsive and flexible with our pickup and dropoff times when our schedule changed. Harper would love to see her again. Thank you Janice!”
“Grigorri showed that he was passionate about animals from the very beginning. He is hospitable and recognizes the needs of a pet parent because he is a good one himself.”
“We left our high energy Labrador Mix, Nala, with Alena for an overnight boarding. She sent multiple unprompted updates with videos of Nala with us how her stay was going, and clearly coordinated drop off and pick up times. Alena was terrific accommodating, and Nala came home happy and very tired (which is not easy to do). 5 stars, would highly recommend, and we look forward to using her again in the future.”
About: Bio is underneath but first what to expect from me when you book the following services: Dog Walk: depending on your needs and likes, I will walk your dog(s) in your neighborhood or take them somewhere else if preferred.

I am luckily they share my love for animals. I am a long time U.S. resident (since 2007), and have been raised in Germany.

About: I’m a caring cat and dog mom with lifelong experience with pets. I have a 3 year old cat and a 2 year old dog, who are my whole world. I love playing with energetic puppies and kittens, and I also have experience caring for sweet senior dogs, having grown up with two dogs with my parents. I’m a private music teacher with a flexible schedule and currently spend most of my time at home. Your pet will have plenty of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and personalized care based on each pet’s routine. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walks throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and I’m always happy to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible. I live with my husband, a friendly 2-year-old Bichpoo, and a calm, gentle cat. Our home is filled with cozy beds, toys, and treats for both cats and dogs. We’re also within walking distance of a dog park, making it easy to give dogs extra exercise and outdoor fun if that’s something they enjoy. We vacuum twice a day and mop every other day to keep our home clean, safe, and comfortable. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care, so they can feel relaxed, happy, and right at home.
“It was great meeting Trish and our dog, Harper, hit it off with her instantly. She is very genuine and made us feel very comfortable with leaving our young dog for the first time. Harper is a 9 month old mini goldendoodle who is still working out his training and puppy energy. Trish kept us updated and sent photos daily. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short due to a family matter but will not hesitate to use Trish again in the future.”
“Sophia did a great job taking of my dog Luna! Throughout the process she was communicative, friendly, and easy to work with. I appreciated the daily updates and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter”
“Charlie had a great 10 day stay with Alec and Damien. Communication was fast and efficient. It was Charlie’s first time staying with someone who wasn’t family or friends, but after the meet and greet I knew that they would take great care of him. I received updates (with pictures) while on my vacation and I would choose them again if needed. Highly recommend them to care for your dog as one of their own.”
“Alaina and her family did an awesome job taking care of Dakota- really kind and down to earth people that love dogs! This was our first time leaving him at someone else’s home, and Alaina quickly made us feel very comfortable. She sent us pictures and daily updates and she was super flexible and kind when I changed up the plans a few times. The big fenced in area and quiet street made me feel like Dakota was in a safe spot. I would be happy to have Alaina watch Dakota again!”
“Oakley loved staying with Brandon! When I picked him up he was completely relaxed and happy so I know he enjoyed his time there! Would definitely trust Brandon to watch Oakley again and take the best care of him!”
“This was my first time using rover and Lauren was amazing! My flight home has been cancelled and she has been so sweet about keeping my pup longer! Sent lots of pictures and even took her on a 6 mile adventure IN THE SNOW!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scituate
Jennifer and Matt's house has become a home away from home for our sweet boy Ollie. He even has a favorite "spot" where he likes to hang out. Jennifer and Matt send photos every day, usually multiple times a day - and when I've expressed concerns over Ollie feeling at ease they take care to send me photos of him walking or playing. I always feel very comfortable leaving Ollie with them.
Ben took such great care of Lucy while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. His communication was outstanding, sending regular updates with lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. I especially appreciated how thoughtful he was with Lucy’s high puppy energy, particularly during the extreme heat this past week. He made sure she still got exercise while keeping her safe and comfortable, adjusting to short frequent activities given the high temperatures. It was also Lucy’s first time with fireworks and he made sure she was not afraid or anxious. Lucy came home happy, tired, relaxed, and clearly well loved. I would absolutely trust Ben with her again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring dog sitter. Thank you so much Ben!
When our usual dog sitter had to cancel a 7-day stay at close to the last minute Cecelia cheerfully stepped in to take care of Zorro, thank goodness. She took the time to meet him beforehand and we had the chance to introduce him to her family which made dropping him off a few days later much easier. During the stay he had lots of walks, snuggles, games and treats. When I picked him up he was totally content, wandering around getting extra pets from her and her daughter while we chatted. While we were away Cecelia sent regular updates and pictures. Overall a great experience for me and Zorro! I'm sure we'll be back.
Matt kept my 35 pound lab mix for 5 days over a holiday weekend and gave her wonderful care! She got tired out playing with his adorable dogs and kept an eye his cat from afar, haha. Matt is a caring and attentive host, flexible with my misbehaving love bug. Would definitely recommend!
