“MJ is wonderful, she was incredibly easy to work with and even set up a quick meet and greet a few days before she took care of Jackson. Gave us peace of mind knowing our boy was in the best of hands”
“Tyler is great, and our dog Lucy loves him. We’ve been using Tyler and MJ for several months for doggie daycare, this was our first time needing drop in care and he came twice during the day when we had to be out for most of the day.😊”
“Vanessa has been an amazing sitter. She goes above and beyond with taking care of my pets and offers a lot of peace of mind. She is very communicative and trustworthy. I highly recommend having her watch your pets.”
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.
“Katie was great! She provided very quick responses to any questions, and getting the pictures was nice. I also appreciated her willingness to take an extra step (feeding a fish!) after I did not bring it up when I first met with her.”
About: My career training makes me hyper aware of my clients needs whether they be human or animal. I can meet them where they are physically and mentally and cater to their needs. My work is flexible so my schedule can fit your pet's routine. I typically do my workout in the early morning which leaves the remainder of the dedicated to your pet's priorities. When I'm with your pet/s they are my priority whether it's feeding, walking, playing or just cuddling. I love animals but can't have them because of my husband's health issues. Yours is the best I can do.
“Jessica was my first Rover experience and I am very happy! She took care of my kitty Milo, fed him and cleaned his littler box. She was very prompt and open to communicate and send pictures everytime she visited. Next time I'm out of town again, she'll be the first one I reach out too :)”
“Last minute booking, last minute changes, special instructions, and it was totally managed by Katherine. She was so kind to my dog and sent great feedback and photos. She asked clarifying questions and responded to me promptly. She was fabulous. Highly recommend.”
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!

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!
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.
Caroline watched our dog pack for a week doing multiple drop-in visits a day. She was responsible, took great care of our dogs, cleaned up after them and kept us updated with pictures & notes after every visit. We highly recommend Caroline to take care of your doggy loved ones! Thanks again!
