“Katie was great! She accommodated our unique needs, and was very responsive, getting back to us right away and sending us pics while we were away. She even got our shy cat to come out and spend some time with her. We would definitely book with Katie again!”
“Maeve is upbeat, confident and friendly. She was kind and attentive to both of our pets. I appreciated the photos and multiple communications during the day. Maeve followed the plan to a “T”. I hope that she is available every time we need a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 16 years old. I am now 22 with three cats of my own and a love for taking care of furry friends!!🐈⬛🐕 I am currently a college student available from 1-6:30 every weekday. After 4 pm on Saturday I am available and all day Sunday! My whole life I have been called an animal whisperer, as I get along with any animal I interact with. It brings me a lot of joy to care for pets and make owners feel secure in their decision to hire me. I am very detail oriented when it comes to their routine and will ask questions to confirm I am taking care of your pet correctly.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, and birds. While it has been quite a few years, I was a veterinary technician in high school and college. I love all animals and feel comfortable around dogs of all sizes. I am a second grade teacher looking to share my love of animals while earning extra income during the summer. I am a second-grade teacher with two high school children. I can be available most days during the summer due to my career. I am also available most afternoons/evenings during the school year. I will ensure any specific instructions are followed with care and accuracy and make your pet feel comfortable and loved. I can support the needs of both active and relaxed dogs, and love to provide a cozy lap and/or be a throwing companion for your furry family member.
About: I’ve fostered and cared for animals since I was little, working for Animal Rescue League in Boston. Highly experienced with big dogs and cats/kittens. Owner of Great Pyrenees, Bernese, and two cats. I'm a teacher with open evenings and weekends, and love spending that time with animals. Whether that's a walk outside or checking in on a pet at home, I'm happy to make sure your pets are cared for and content! I am super experienced in pet care— including animal/wildlife rehabilitation. Very mindful of what’s safe for dogs and cats of all social levels, and how to keep them calm and happy. After years of working with animal shelters as a foster home, I love working with all kinds of pets!
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. As a current dog owner to my energetic 1½-year-old dog, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, exercise, training reinforcement, feeding schedules, and providing lots of love and attention. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can thrive. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. In addition to my experience with dogs, I have spent years caring for animals through my equestrian background, which has helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, attention to detail, and a calm, responsible approach to animal care. I have spent the last 5 years riding and training horses professionally am really passionate about all things animals ! Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. 🐾 I work as a professional rider and spend much of my day caring for and working with horses, which has given me extensive experience handling animals and maintaining consistent care routines. My schedule can vary depending on training and horse show commitments, but I do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date and am often available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I always make safety and comfort my top priority when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and routine so they feel relaxed and secure while I’m with them. I’ve grown up around animals and currently work around horses, so I’m very used to reading animal behavior and staying calm and responsible in different situations. I bring that same mindset to every dog I care for.

Chaya is absolutely wonderful! She’s incredibly reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure our two cats were well taken care of while we were away for five days. She even offered to come over in advance to familiarize herself with their routine, allowing them to get accustomed to her presence. We have a very detailed routine for our cats and she asked all the right questions to ensure she understood and followed them exactly as we discussed. One of our cats is particularly sensitive, but Chaya handled him with patience and kindness. I’ve never witnessed our cats bond with someone so quickly. I am confident Chaya treated our cats with the same love and care as we do. I have complete faith and trust in her, and I highly recommend her as a sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Katherine really stepped in to help at the last minute due to an emergency. She was on time and took great pictures. Dependable and was able to figure out everything with minimal, last minute instructions. Definitely highly recommend her! She gets an A+ in our book!
Lynn is very pleasant, attentive, and reliable. She promptly communicated with me and reached out when she had questions, which made me happy to know she would ensure our cats received the best possible care. I felt comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands while we were away, and they were happy and healthy when we returned home.
