About: With 20 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I've had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, including: dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and hamsters. I understand the unique needs of each species, from providing enriching activities for dogs, offering individualized care for cats, to creating safe, stimulating environments for birds, turtles, and hamsters. Whether it's ensuring proper habitat conditions, managing dietary needs, administering medications, or simply offering companionship, I approach each pet with a deep understanding of their behavior. I'm committed to fostering the well-being and happiness of every pet I care for, tailoring my services to meet their specific needs and personalities. I've built a flexible and reliable pet care routine that allows me to give your pets the attention and care they deserve without disrupting my own schedule. On a daily basis, I make time for early morning walks, feeding, and playtime, ensuring that your pets start their day happy and active. I also structure my evenings to include additional walks or cuddle sessions, and I'm available for drop-in visits throughout the day as needed. On a weekly basis, I plan regular check-ins, grooming sessions, and any other specific care tasks, such as administering medications or cleaning habitats. I will be attentive to your pets' needs without the rush, ensuring they receive the best care and companionship every day. My top priorities are ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being. I create a secure environment by pet-proofing the space, removing potential hazards, and making sure they have room to explore, play, and relax. Trust is key, so I build a strong bond with each pet through consistency, gentle interaction, and routine care. In a client's home, I take extra care to respect their space, keeping everything familiar for their fur babies. Whether in my home or yours, I strive to offer a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where animals feel happy, secure and cared for at all times.

“Codie is great with our anxious dog! She is communicative, patient and has been very flexible with our schedule.”

“Sean has been extremely reliable, communicative, and trustworthy as our weekly dog walker. Our dog loves playing at the park with him. He has made good decisions about when to let our dog off-leash and helps with interactions with other dogs. He also goes the extra mile to wipe my dogs paws after muddy walks!”

About: I have tried to live life around as many animals as possible. Grew up with dogs and cats and now am a proud cat dad. I pride myself on being punctual, responsible, and caring. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends for years. Being a Rover customer has encouraged me to be the best possible sitter, walker, visitor that I could be. I respect people's boundaries and animal's boundaries as well. I would prefer to meet you and your pet before we confirm sitting or visits just to make sure everyone is comfortable(especially your pets!). I am currently working part time and have lots of available time to walk, sit, and visit your cats or dogs. I can do multiple visits per days in Somerville if need be. I would prefer to take time to meet you and your pets before booking. I fully understand the concerns of having people in your home and treat spaces like I would want my home treated. I'm happy to clean litter boxes per directions and would always put things (food, leashes, toys, etc..) back in their place as directed. if you were to be out of town and asked me to retrieve mail, monitor lights and other utilities I would do that to the best of my abilities as well. As someone who has had Rover sitters come visit my cat Pepper I appreciate that extra effort that many of them have put forth. I would also be happy to communicate all visits through the app or phones with pictures and quick updates.

About: I know how much your dog means to you, and leaving them with someone new takes a lot of trust. That is why I treat every single dog in my care exactly like my own family. I have a natural intuition for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Caring for pups is a lifelong passion of mine. Right now, my own furry family includes a sweet 16-year-old Cockapoo who taught me the patience needed for senior care, and an energetic 1-year-old puppy who keeps me on my toes! Over the years, I have lived with and pet-sat everything from tiny Shih Tzus to lovable "supermutts."If your dog loves to stay active, they will fit right in. My daily routine revolves around keeping dogs happy and moving. We do regular backyard playtime, long neighborhood walks, exciting hikes, and fun trips to the dog park.Plus, raising my puppy means I am highly trained in positive obedience and puppy management techniques. Whether your dog needs gentle structure, high-energy exercise, or just a cozy spot on the couch to relax, I adapt to their unique personality. I cannot wait to meet your pup and give them a fun, safe, and loving home away from home! I work part time from home and have a very flexible schedule that can accommodate your dogs needs. They will have supervised access to the backyard when they want/need, as well as walks and rest time. I have a fenced yard, and an Australian cattle dog/husky mix who LOVES all dogs. He’s crate trained and I can easily work with crate training’s as needed!

About: I have 15+ years of taking care of dogs and cats. I have experience with caring for elderly dogs and I have also taken care of cats with critical conditions that required careful administration of medicine. My friends have trusted me to take care of their pets when they are out of town and I hope to bring the same care to you pet! I prefer to conduct daily drop in visits in the early morning or evening. I'm available all day on the weekends to fulfill your pets needs. I have a fenced background and live in a quiet street. I have many rooms in my apartment that allows me to give the pet a space of their own while the owner is away.

“Melissa was so great with rudy! She took so many pictures and provided so much info for her walks with him. Will definitely be rebooking as I need a walker again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of my own and for family and friends for many years, and I love spending time with dogs, cats, and all animals! I am reliable, responsible, and patient, and look forward to helping you care for your home and pets! I will be working part-time this summer with a flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your dog! I am comfortable walking, crating, and playing with your pets as needed! I am reliable and responsible, so you can feel at ease leaving your pets in my care.

“Alyssa was fantastic!! Took the time to meet my pup & go over instructions. She did great my dog & I always came home to a very happy & tired dog. Would definitely recommend booking with her”

“I had a great experience with Hannah as a dog walker! She communicated promptly to coordinate everything and took my puppy Luna's schedule into consideration, which I really appreciated. She arrived right on time, took Luna on a nice walk, and sent lots of pictures throughout. Luna looked so happy and comfortable in every photo. It was clear she was in great hands, and I’d happily book with Hannah again!”
