House Sitting Somerville

“Tiffany was absolutely amazing with my two puppies! She handled them with so much patience and care, keeping me completely at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent — it made me feel confident they were in great hands. Tiffany went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Elizabeth kept my cats company by housesitting while I was on a trip for 8 days. Cats and apartment were in great condition when I got back, couldn't be happier!”

“Elizabeth was the perfect house sitter and companion for our dog, Pringles! Her communication and service were superb. We will definitely invite her back!”

“Chris took great care of Maggie and my house. Chris sent us lots of pictures and comments about Maggie. We will definitely have Chris back when we need another dog and house sitter. I'm really happy the experience was good for my dog by not leaving her in a kennel.”

“Farrin was wonderful with our two dogs and cat. They took to her right away! She was on time, followed our instructions, sent daily messages, and left the house in good and clean condition. Highly recommend!”

“Melissa was great and Rocky loved her! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Melissa eased my mind. Not being used to “strangers” staying with him, Rocky had some separation anxiety. Melissa was very straightforward about it and kept me updated the whole time. I made some suggestions and she tried them all. I would love to have Melissa stay with Rocky again if she’s interested.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind — from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and everything in between. I am the go to dog sitter for all my family and friends! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the time and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I provide dependable care and regular updates!

“Matisa was wonderful with our 2 dogs and 2 cats! She even stayed an extra night at last minute when we were stranded at an airport on vacation. We appreciate her willingness to be flexible!”

“Steven did amazing with our dogs, who are 2 year old hounds with a lot of energy. We are very thankful for him and the way he handled our zoo!”

Christine W.

“Chelsea was absolutely amazing. I had her come to my house and meet my Buddy right away, I knew she was the one!! My dog takes medication no problem giving it to him. She just has such a nice way about her and her love for animals. Definitely will be having her back to watch my Buddy on our next vacay. Highly Recommended”

“Natalie took great care of our dog while we were away. I had some concerns leaving our dog with a stranger for the first time because he can be protective of his home. Natalie made the time to come meet our pup at a neutral spot and then headed to the home so he could get use to her in his environment. The meet and greet went well and our dog was excited to see her when she came to stay overnight. Natalie was very quick when returning my texts and calls. She took great care of our pup while we were away and we will use her again in the future.”

“After our recent move to North Carolina, we found ourselves in a position where we needed a pet sitter. Having never left our pets with anyone but family we were apprehensive as to who we could find, and trust, with our fur babies. We turned to Rover to find someone. After reading what seemed like hundreds of profiles and reviews - we carefully chose Allie. Allie was quick to respond and agreed to a meet and greet. Our rambunctious, and loud, retrievers met her at the front door where Allie scooped them into a hug and it was “love at first site” for our pups!! Allie was very attentive to our detailed instructions, asked for clarification, on anything she did not understand, and was concerned with keeping the dogs and our two cats on their normal routines. During our weekend away, we received multiple reports as well as amazing pictures. It was apparent that Allie cared for, and loved, our pets as if they were her own. Allie went above and beyond anything we could have expected - even befriending our “leary of strangers” cat. We cannot say enough about Allie, her obvious love and care for our pets, and the comfort she gave us to leave them with her!! Thank you Allie!!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m the proud mom of two lovable Old English Bulldogs and have been a dedicated foster mom for over six years. During that time, I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide range of breeds—from gentle giants like Great Danes and Mastiffs to spirited Dachshund mixes and resilient Pitties. I truly believe we don’t deserve animals—they are pure, loyal, compassionate souls who ask for so little and give so much. My mission is to be their safe place, their advocate, and a source of love and stability in their world. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just some company, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority—and I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member! I am available all day Mondays & Fridays as well as the weekends. Tuesday-Thursday I am not available during the day only in the evening/ Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort and safety always come first. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and my own dogs are friendly, loving, and great with new furry friends. I create a calm, welcoming environment where every animal feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I believe in giving pets the same level of care and respect I give my own. That means lots of cuddles (if they want them!), a cozy space to relax, and plenty of patience and gentleness—especially if they’re shy or nervous. I'm attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routines, and I make sure they always have a peaceful, safe place to call their own while you're away.

“Lucas (Jorges son) treated our dogs to tons of snuggles and plenty of walks, he had good communication and held to our rather strict rules. When we came home our house exactly as we had left it. Lucas was very conscientious. (With the oversight of his parents). Our dogs were happy. Do not hesitate to reach out to Jorge.”

“Tori took great care of our home and dogs. We were able to go away camping for a weekend while our house and dogs were in her safe hands. They played outside and got a ton of energy out. We will be having her watch them again in the future.”

“Paul is an "animal whisperer." He was amazing with our German Shepherd, Lab, and Tabby. We have never left any of our animals in a kennel or with a "stranger" and after significant research, decided to give Rover and Paul a try. Paul immediately connected with our pets during the meet and greet, and took amazing care of them when we went out of town. We highly recommend Paul; especially, to nervous pet parents who appreciate regular updates! We will definitely be requesting Paul's help again.”

“It was so nice to be on vacation and know that my 5 animals were taken care of. Jade was a pleasure and didn’t mind a full bed :) I look forward to another trip !”
