Tam was an absolutely fabulous sitter. She stayed with our dog over the Christmas holidays and took wonderful care of him — she took him on long walks, played with him at home, and made sure he was well looked after. She also kept us up to date every day to give us a peace of mind. I cannot recommend her highly enough — she was a true joy to have look after our dog, and we’ll make sure to book her again when we’re out of town next!

Natalie is the absolute best for our dog. We went for a week long trip and Natalie stayed in our home. Let me start off by saying that we came back to the house even better than we left it. Natalie kept us up to date and treated Tia and our house as her own. She made sure to clean up any and all messes. And cleaned up a mess from Tia’s accident better than even we could. She even went through our trashes and washed her own sheets. Natalie will be our go-to sitter going forward and highly recommend her to all

Andrew is an amazing dog sitter! He stayed at our home for two weeks while we were on vacation and looked after our 2 dogs. He was amazing, he texted us daily updates with pictures and even found a fenced area to play fetch with my mini aussie as he is high energy. Followed the care instructions for my yorkie who just had surgery. He definitely went above and beyond and I 100% recommend him!

About: Hello everyone! My name is Miranda and I am a recent Tufts University graduate with extensive animal behavior training. I currently live in Somerville and am excited to join the Rover community! I have experience working at a vet clinic and plan to apply to veterinary school. In addition to my love for animals, I have taken care of neighbors’ and friends’ pets since high school! I am currently working part-time as I complete my veterinary technician certification, so I have plenty of availability to help take care of neighborhood pets. I am generally available on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I love being outside and going for walks, especially when I have a furry friend to join me! I am very comfortable handling animals and can easily identify and de-escalate stress responses. I love socializing with dogs and cats, but am able to sense when an animal needs some space.

Polina took extra care of my two special needs frenchies as well as staying at my home. Her daily updates really captured my fur babies personalities and were enjoyable to read while I was away. She was super communicative and attentive to my dog’s unique needs including medications, special diets, and assistance on the stairs. I’m thankful to have Polina’s services available.

He sent us pictures and videos regularly so we have peace of mind as one of our dogs had leg injury. He left the house clean and took the trash bin out to the curb on trash pickup day for us. Leo is a caring pet sitter and our dogs like him. We are happy we found Leo and will definitely hire him again in the future. Thanks Leo!!!

Janny was absolutely phenomenal. She house sat and watched our mini sheepadoodle over 6 days and kept us in the loop with how she was doing everyday. She sent us lots of cute pics and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. She was also a wonderful house guest and kept everything very tidy. Absolutely recommend!

Connie was amazing, stayed over for 6 days while we went on a trip, it was our first time on Rover and she really made it super easy and stress free. Sent plenty of picture updates and was very communicative! Will 100% be reaching out again next time we go out of town!

Natalie did an amazing job from start to finish, excellent communicator, sent tons of pictures, followed our guidance on caring for our cat perfectly. She was punctual, conscientious, and clearly a lover of cats. Would highly recommend without reservation. A true gem.

Kelly was awesome: enthusiastic, great communicator, and very invested in our cat, Felix. He is usually very scared of new people and can take a while to warm up, but she put in the work to build rapport with him and make him feel comfortable.
