“Katie was so amazing with our anxious dachshund Willow. She made time for a meet and greet before her first visit and Willow warmed up to her so quickly (and that is no small feat!)”
“Emily and Robbie were great! Really responsive, sent a lot of photos, really made my dog feel comfortable and at home. I will definitely be using them again!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.
About: My family has owned dogs since I was born and I’ve always loved being around them! In the past, I have dog walked for multiple families in the Boston area. I’m looking to expand my opportunities through Rover! I work full time but I’m also fully remote out of my apartment! I have a very flexible work schedule which allows me to do potty breaks or walks at any point throughout the day. I have a back deck where your dog can get fresh air during the day and I have a shared back area with my apartment neighbors!
“Our first Roover experience for us and we are so happy about Vienna's stay! Jim and his four years old little boy took amazing care of her and shared some cute videos at the park playing with her favorite ball over the day. We felt super relieved to see that she had a great day and was not too difficult (2 year old high energy golden at home and we were a bit anxious to give her away for a day). Everything went really well and we can't recommend enough Jim! We will use him again next time we need it! :)”
“I had an excellent experience with our Jayden. She was available to help my dog and I during a snow storm and I had to go to work! My dog Jack was well cared for and she helped to ease my mind! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. My dog made himself right at home with her and cried when he was dropped off which means he missed her already and had a great time! I really appreciate the updates and peace of mind knowing my dog is in safe, attentive hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
“Dayna & team are the best and I couldn't do my job without them. Thank you for making Southie finally feel like home and caring for my little Dutchess as if she were your own - she adores Louis and loves coming over to play!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Nicky for our date night! She was so easy to communicate with from the start She really knows and loves dogs - it gave us such peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. Will definitely be reaching out to her again for future services.”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life. I grew up beside them and learned how to care for them at a very early age. I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, personalities, ages; from dogs who were my family, from my friend’s dogs to dogs belonging to people in my local community. Since I’ve been living in Boston for almost a year now, I have scouted out great routes to walk dogs to local spots for play and enjoyment, especially in nature. Special skills include dog breed knowledge, basic commands training, clicker training, animal welfare, and basic wilderness first aid training. I work from home 70% of the time and my schedule is wonderfully quite flexible. I am able to meet basic needs like potty breaks or walks and easily adjust my routine around the dog’s needs. I have worked with many different dog personalities and characteristics before and can take care of your dog however needed. I allow dogs on the bed and couch, have plenty of treats on hand, have many pet friendly locations nearby to take them, etc.
About: I have had pets in my house for as long as I can remember. Cats, dogs, a bunny, hamsters, geckos, fish, and guinea pigs. I even fostered multiple cats/kittens at a time. I love all the little quirks every dog has and no specific needs are off limits. I also have experience administering meds to dogs and cats. I want the animals to feel love and comfort while with me! I treat animals like family :) I am currently looking for a part time job (hopefully rover!), so my schedule might change. But as of now I am free 7 days a week and any time. I have no pets in my place currently. But I can give your dog walks/potty breaks at any time of the day. The pets are allowed on the couch and in bed if they wanted but if you prefer to bring their crate that’s ok too!
“Tran was amazing with our old dog! We booked her last minute and right away we knew we could trust her. She was super communicative, thoughtful about our old/sick dogs needs, and just lovely all around!”
“Brendan was great with our dog Rowan for doggy day care. He sent us photos through the day and was super responsive. Thank you again, Brendan, for watching Rowan!”
“Yogi had such a wonderful time! It was obvious how much fun he had and how well cared for he was. Ruya went above and beyond with updates, sending lots of photos and videos. Their communication was excellent, and it was clear they treated our pup like their own. We’re so appreciative and will definitely recommend and book again!”
“Joanna was amazing to Leo! Joanna was accommodating of my crazy schedule. She made the drop off and pick up seamless. She sent 2 updates and photos during the day, which was great. I highly recommend Joanna.”
South Boston dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Margaret! She watched Josh for daycare and was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive throughout the day. Josh is still a puppy and can be a lot at times, but she treated him like he was her own and made him feel completely comfortable. I felt very confident leaving him with her and would absolutely book with her again!
William and Krystal have been watching my three-year-old dachshund, Enzo, every week for the past month or so, and I truly cannot recommend them enough. They are incredibly thoughtful and communicative in the best possible way. I never worry when Enzo is with them because they consistently share updates, photos, and details about how he’s doing, which gives me so much peace of mind. They genuinely treat Enzo like he’s their own — taking him to the park, giving him so much love and attention, and making sure he’s happy and comfortable. Enzo can be pretty anxious, so it says a lot that he’s always so calm, relaxed, and excited to see them. They’re also extremely observant and attentive to his needs, which I really appreciate as an anxious dog mom myself. They’ve even given Enzo baths before, which is such a thoughtful touch and just shows how much they care. I completely trust them with my dog, and more importantly, Enzo clearly trusts and loves them too. I would highly recommend William and Krystal to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and genuinely wonderful pet sitters.
Katie is fantastic!! We wish we could rate her more than 5 stars!! Our 7-month puppy had never been in anyone else’s house, and we had no idea what to expect. We are also first-time pup moms, so we were very nervous. Katie was very understanding and attentive with him, and gave us updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day! We felt at ease knowing our puppy was under her care. When we came to pick him up he seemed to have had a great time and looked very comfortable with her :) You can tell she cares deeply about dogs, and their comfort and safety! Absolutely fantastic experience.
Alexandra was great. Communication was prompt and clear. She took my dog for a “get to know each other walk” right after drop-off. Another walk right before pick-up. I felt complete confidence in Alexandra and would absolutely book again if I needed dog-care in Boston.
Dania was so considerate with our dog, Fig. Fig has a lot of energy (especially on walks) and can take a bit to settle down. We are always nervous leaving her with someone new, but Dania was so proactive about communicating how Fig was doing we were never worried. If you're looking for someone to treat your dog like their own, definitely choose Dania!
Kate is a great sitter and took great care of Charlie. She responded to a last minute request which really helped us out in a pinch. She took excellent care of Charlie, and was extra careful with him as he recovers from a knee injury that we’ve been dealing with. I wish all sitters were as responsive, thoughtful, and careful as Kate. 10/10, will rebook!
Our pup had a great day! We got some photos throughout the day and a terrific summary of his visit. We could not be happier with how friendly and kind Jo and Adam were to our little dog and how accommodating they were to our nervous pup parent requests for this first time visit. We are very confident and excited to have them dog sit Frankie for a week this summer when we go away.
