Maria is amazing! She’s so communicative & was very helpful when my cat unplugged her automatic feeder. I would highly recommend her to pet sit your pets!

Astro and Aria were well taken care of by Peter. He was extremely responsive to all my questions and requests, and sent thorough updates and pictures during his time caring for my cats. I am really pleased with how the booking turned out!

Aislinn is the best! This is my second time booking with her and she is extremely accommodating. She sent me updates with pictures after each visit with my cat Sandy and went out of her way to refill her water dispenser each time which was very much appreciated! Overall, I couldn’t recommend her enough and I will continue to rebook with Aislinn.

Wen Shin did wonderfully with our cat and dog!!! I will absolutely be booking with her again. She communicated incredibly well with me about issues that came up with our dog Taters and was very patient in letting Taters, who is afraid of strangers, become comfortable with her. She played with our cat Baby more than I do and gave her so much love!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since my family rescued our first dog over 12 years ago. I have experience walking dogs, feeding dogs, washing dogs, and giving dogs their medications. I’m a night shift nurse, so I have unique availability that people in other careers may not. I specialize in taking care of people in their most vulnerable states, and would love to do the same for your pet. I work full-time at a Boston Hospital. However, I am a night shift nurse who works 36 hours overnight per week. The nights I work do charge each week, but I have a lot of availability during the day. I also only work every third weekend. I don’t plan to care for pets in my home as I live in an apartment in South Boston. However, I plan to care for pets in my clients’ homes well. I want your pet to feel safe and be excited that their friend has arrived to walk them, feed them, spend time with them, etc.

Thank you so much to Molly for coming to see my cats. It was a last minute booking after my usual cat sitter had an emergency, so I was scrambling and panicked for a few days before Molly came by for a meet and greet. My cats instantly went out to investigate, which is rare for them, and over the next few days they (and my plants!) received wonderful care.

About: experienced german shepherd owner of 5 years who has grown up around dogs! I love big and small breeds and won’t just walk/hang out with your pup, i’ll make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re away :) I WFH Wednesdays and Fridays (can do lunch walks in southie), and will be here most weekends, and would love to care for your pup! I can do stop ins, but won’t typically watch dogs in my own home due to lease restrictions. Very responsible with locking all doors and making sure your dog is safe

I can't say enough wonderful things about Julia! My family needed someone to watch our dog, Poppie, at the last minute, and Julia stepped up in a big way. Although she didn't have the chance to meet Poppie beforehand, Julia went out of her way to make sure Poppie felt comfortable during their first interaction. She visited Poppie three times, spending even more time than expected playing, walking, and giving her plenty of attention. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in excellent hands with Julia. We look forward to having her care for Poppie again in the future!

About: I bring a calm, reliable, and highly attentive approach to pet care—shaped not just by helping friends and neighbors, but by raising my own very happy, well-loved Goldendoodle. I understand firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m naturally detail-oriented, so I stick closely to routines, feeding schedules, and each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or a more relaxed, steady presence, I adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for—and you get complete peace of mind while you’re away. Not currently working so available to look after 24/7 and at home most of the time. They’ll be with me a lot of the time! My chilled goldendoodle makes even the most nervous of dogs feel comfortable. I have an unfenced yard so always take the dogs out on the lead for a quick bathroom break back there when needed and then do 2-3 walks a day depending on the dogs needs/weather. I have a very dog friendly home with lots of space to play and then in the evenings it’s cuddles watching Netflix! They’re more than welcome on the bed but can also accommodate a crate if you’d prefer. My guest bathroom is all set up for doggy baths if you’d like a clean sparkly dog on your return :)

About: Hi everyone! I am a recent law school grad/ am studying for the bar exam this summer and i’m looking for a way to fund my education (and get some much needed animal time during study breaks!). I have been a life long pet owner and have been pet sitting (everything from dogs and cats to exotic birds and sheep) since I was a young teen. I am well versed in accommodating various animal needs and take health and safety with the utmost seriousness. As a life long pet owner myself (and currently live with an adorable toy aussie) I understand that your animal is truly a member of the family, and look forward to meeting your little loved one! Please do not hesitate to ask any questions, I will be happy to answer. :) I have a flexible schedule as I am currently studying from home full time for the bar exam (I make my own study schedule). I am only unavailable Sundays! I understand the immense trust that goes into pet care. I am always open to having a phone call with you first to establish a relationship and discuss your pet and their needs! I am well versed in different animal needs (and am always willing to learn more) and understand the importance of maintaining a safe environment for your animals, no matter the location.

We were away three weeks and had never used Rover. What a fantastic organization. We had two different sitters since one had to take exams for a week but both sitters were different and the best we’ve ever had.

I can’t recommend Jessica enough! Jessica did a great job taking care of our asthmatic cat, Cash, who needs medication twice daily. She was communicative, reliable, and friendly. Cash was clearly well cared for and played with for the 8 days we were out. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!

Kyle is a caring, communicative pet sitter who took wonderful care of our cats while we were away for 6 days. We really appreciate his flexibility and attention to detail. Our place was spotless when we returned, and, more importantly, our cats were calm - they acted as if we had never left! This was most likely due to the level of care (and love) he provided them. We really appreciate the effort he consistently made and will definitely rebook his services in the future.

We recently adopted a kitten who needed human socialization. We had Dunks on a good trajectory and Dani did a great job while we were on our trip. She also helped Logan, our older cat, feel like he was still important too! We came home to two incredibly happy cats!

Katherine was attentive, communicative and overall very experienced with animals! She sent pictures and followed all our directions. She even went above and beyond by leaving ice cubes in our cats’ water because it was a hot day - such a nice touch. We have a super shy cat who usually doesn’t come out of hiding for strangers but he was out and about with Katherine! Will be hiring her again.

Karina was so great with Piper! I felt comfortable leaving her over a tricky 4th of July weekend and knew that my cat would be in great care with her. During the meet and greet, she asked great questions to make sure she was fully prepared in case of any emergency, and she was very easy to communicate with! We will definitely use Karina again!
