“Eko and Sarah were great! They responded right away to my request and during their house-sitting they communicated any questions clearly. Got lots of pictures of our pup from their walks and overnight. It brought us such peace of mind that such lovely and attentive people were caring for our dog while we were away! Will definitely book with them again!”


“Ann house sit for us while we went to the hospital to have our first baby. As many know, it’s hard to time these things out perfectly. Ann was flexible and communicative the entire time. We didn’t have to worry for a second about Piglet and could focus on our baby. She also made sure we came home to a clean house and even watered our lawn during the heat wave! Thanks again, Ann!”


“Dana was amazing!! We had her over to watch both dogs for a week. She was super quick to communicate with us and sent pictures. She also helped feed our daughter's tortoise and the fish that I forget that we have! The house was in amazing shape and the dogs seemed wicked happy! Dana is an amazing sitter, we hope to have her over again in the future! If you are deciding on a sitter, go with Dana! (”


“Jen was so wonderful - we would highly recommend her for pet/house sitting and we will definitely ask her to watch our pups again! She helped us with a last minute booking and was so flexible. Our dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. She updated us often throughout the stay with pictures and we came home to our house looking great. She was wonderful with our dogs!”


“Joiee recent sitter for my 2 year old German Shepherd. The word AMAZING isn’t enough to describe her. Before the actual dates, she took time to come to my house to meet my dog then while I was gone, she kept me updated on their activities and sent me some great pictures of the 2 of them together. After I got home, he was actually crying (which he only does when my daughter leaves the house) and I am pretty sure he missed his new friend. If you are looking for a sitter for your dog, I recommend Joiee to the absolute highest degree. Not only did my dog find a new friend but I will 100% be booking with her in the future. Thank you Joiee for treating my dog like he was your own.”


“Logan pet sat for our cat Bella for a week while we away. Bella is a senior with special needs. Logan came by to meet with Bella a few times before we went away. Logan then stayed at our home caring for Bella while attending college classes. We called every few days so Bella could hear our voice. Having Logan with Bella allowed us to be away knowing she was being well cared for and not alone for long periods of time. We will be in touch with Logan again to sit for Bella.”


“Paulina was amazing with Hugo! She treated him like her own, kept me updated with sweet photos, and took great care of my home. I came back to a happy pup and a spotless house....couldn’t ask for more!”


“MacKenna was fantastic! She spent time with us and Nola prior to the visit to help Nola acclimate, it was clear MacKenna was comfortable with all types of animals. Nola is an anxious pup but settled well with her from the get go. During the homestay she gave us updates and photos to keep us in the loop. Would highly recommend!”


“Sammy did a wonderful job caring for our pets: Zeiss, Freya, Reggie and the chickens! She was excellent about communicating daily by reaching out with questions or concerns, and providing a daily summary of how things went. In addition, she left a final day's report to let us know if we were running low on any supplies. I found Sammy to be respectful, communicative, responsible and she left the house neat and clean. The ONLY room for improvement would be if Freya was walked on her leash; - she is a puller and strong willed though, so I understand why! Sammy was wonderfully patient with Freya and her escapades of escaping our yard, and we worked together to find the right solution for keeping her safe and getting outdoor time. I can tell our cat loved the attention he got and I think he misses Sammy!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since childhood— primarily my high energy childhood dog who lived to 18 😇! I’m very used to the time and attention your high energy pet might need and have extensive experience with senior pets who may need special accommodations. I currently have two cats and have been a frequent pet sitter for both cats and dogs. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pets!! I’m a graduate student who can typically accommodate a flexible schedule— including midday walks and drop-ins during the week with notice. Morning and evening walks/drop-ins easy to accommodate any day! I have two cats at home who have a very comfortable life and are frequently checked in on. When I am away I ensure someone is there multiple times a day to keep them company and make sure all is well at home. I am happy to do the same thing for your pets so that you can have the same peace of mind when you are away and know that your pet is cared for!

“It was great having Mo stay at our house over the long weekend. We were sad to not have our pups camping with us but it was nice to know they were in good hands! Received many great photos of our pets relaxing around the house and eating meals. Came home to no mess and happy animals. Would definitely hire her again in the future!”


“Amazing dog sitter. She communicated well, took great care of our puppies and shared lots of nice photos. Daisy has been looking around for her all day. I would highly recommend her.”


“Danielle was wonderful with our dogs!! We have one very nervous dog and she did great with Danielle. Communication was great. We even recieved videos of our guys playing while we were away. We would definitely recommend Danielle, and use her again.”


“Jess was fantastic and showed Clay a lot of attention while we were away. She was very quick to respond when we had questions and sent lots of pictures during her time with Clay. I would strongly recommend her to anyone needing someone to look after their fur child while away from home.”


“Thank you again for taking such great care of Luna and Wilma (and the fish) while we were away for the week! Plus taking in packages/mail and keeping us updated through out!! It’s so much easier leaving knowing the house and animals are well cared for!”


About: Hi!! I have been taking care of animals almost all my life—I have a 16 year old dog that we adopted when he was 5, and he’s been my best friend ever since! I have been taking care of animals in my neighborhood for 8 years, and people rely on and are comfortable leaving me with their pets, knowing they are in good hands! I am studying at Wellesley College but I am home for the summer, so I am available to take care of your pets! I am available weekdays and weekends for drop in visits, walks, and house sitting. I will be very attentive and flexible to your dog’s needs, making sure they are as comfortable as possible. I also provide excellent communication, so you can rest assured that your dog is in good hands!

About: I have lifelong experience caring for pets, having raised two dogs from two months old and growing up with three cats. Now, I have a senior miniature schnauzer, so I understand the unique needs of pets at every life stage. I provide patient, loving care for puppies, seniors, and dogs of all temperaments. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or a cozy home while you’re away, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have an open schedule, allowing me plenty of time to care for and play with your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and loved. I follow any special instructions, maintain a consistent routine, and ensure plenty of supervision, playtime, and care. With patience and attention to detail, I create a stress-free experience so both pets and owners can feel at ease.

“We’ve used Molly a couple times now and our dog Layla loves her she even slept in bed with her which she hardly even does with my husband when I’m not home. She was able to extend her stay when our trip got messed up and has sent tons of pics and videos letting us know Layla is in good hands. We will continue to use Molly each time we go away or even for walks when we get stuck. She’s the best!”

Logan was great, friendly and extremely helpful. The pets warmed up to her quickly and made me feel comfortable leaving them with her. She provided updates and pictures while I was away. She went above & beyond the expectations of taking care of my cats and home. I would highly recommend her!

Great sitter! My dog was so excited to see her during the meet and greet. And on the actual day she arrived on time and sent photos daily. Charlotte followed instructions, left the house clean and even washed our sheets when she left! i would deffinately recommend her.

This was my first time using Rover after my regular cat sitter cancelled on me last minute. I am now a huge fan! Tara is a true cat lover as well as a very sweet and lovely human. Mr. Ebbie is 20 and takes two medications, which she had no problem giving him. She sent me daily pictures, took him for walks on his leash and gave him everything his little kitty heart desired. It was really great to have her stay overnight with him - it made me feel much better about leaving him behind to go camping. She truly went above and beyond and I would have her cat sit for me again in a heartbeat.
