“Cassidy did a great job taking care of my cat, Lucille. She was very responsive to messages, gave detailed updates, and was flexible in her scheduling. Cassidy was the first pet sitter I hired through Rover, and I would happily do so again!!”

“Katherine took care of my two cats when I was out of town for a weekend. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She was very responsive and communicative about her visits. Even though I had no preference over timing, every morning she let me know what time she would stop by. After every visit she sent pictures and a written note of how the cats behaved and what food she gave them or what toys she had them play with. She was super patient with my shy kitten, who was getting over an upset tummy at the time. She gave him the probiotics as instructed and managed to get pictures even when he hid under the bed, and by day three he had warmed up to her! I definitely felt she took care of them as if they were her own cats, would book her again without a doubt.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! From my own pup, to my sisters dogs, friends dogs and more. I treat every dog like my own with the utmost care and love.

About: I’ve had a dog (or multiple pets!) around our house my whole life. From our sweet Border Collie, Tillie, to our counter-surfing, bull-in-a-china-shop Bernese Mountain Dog, Max, to our sweet pug, Frank, there have always been furry friends around growing up. My mom also had a revolving door of friends’ dogs that we would watch, and we even fostered dogs for a period of time—eventually foster-failing and adopting Frank! Because of this, I’m comfortable caring for a variety of breeds, personalities, and needs. I’m familiar with proper dog handling and walking, including putting on and taking off harnesses and leashes, playing styles, eating habits, and I know how to recognize when a pup is feeling uncomfortable, anxious, stressed, or just needs a little extra patience. I try to pay attention to each dog’s individual cues and personality rather than assuming they all need the same things. I’m always happy to adjust my approach based on what makes each dog feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I work full-time in downtown Boston. I enjoy going for walks after work and would love to have a furry friend to join me after work. I’m available throughout the weekends for walks around Castle Island or visits to the dog park. Since I currently live far away from our family pug back home in Oregon, I’m looking for a way to spend time with a pet while also getting outside and staying active. Pet care would fit naturally into my routine, especially in the evenings on weeknights and anytime on weekends, and I’d love to make time in my routine for a furry friend and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I have an older pug back home, so I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Frank needs plenty of stops to sniff anything and everything along the way, so I’ve definitely learned to be patient, pay attention to what he needs, and let him enjoy the walk at his own pace! At the end of the day, the walk is for him, not me anyways! When I’m walking a client’s dog, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m friendly and approachable, and I’ll always be excited to greet your dog and give them the attention and care they deserve. I’m also more than happy to provide photo or video check-ins during pick-up, throughout the walk, or at drop-off. I think it’s a great way to give owners peace of mind while also sharing a little joy and letting them see that their dog is happy and having a great time!

About: I've loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I've raised three dogs of my own, and they've always been part of the family. In college, I was the go-to sitter for my sorority sisters' rambunctious puppies, so I'm comfortable with high-energy pups who need patience, structure, and plenty of play. I've cared for everything from a tiny Pomeranian to a big, strong Alaskan Malamute, and for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. Whatever your dog's size or personality, I'll adapt to their routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule. I'm only in the office for part of the day and often work from home, so your pup won't be left alone for long stretches. I travel for work at times, so I only accept bookings when I know I'll be home and fully available. I already take nightly walks and love any excuse to get outside, so walks are built into my routine. With several parks just steps from my apartment, your dog will get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and sniff time! Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I host just one dog at a time in my smoke-free, pet-free home, so your dog gets my full attention with no other animals to compete with. Before every stay, I'll gather everything I need to know: feeding schedule, medications, vet info, emergency contacts, and any quirks or habits. That way I can keep your dog's routine as close to home as possible. My apartment is dog-proofed, with food, cords, and anything harmful kept out of reach. Dogs are always leashed on walks, and I'll keep a close eye on them at the park. You can expect regular photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I treat every dog like my own, and my goal is for yours to come home happy, tired, and well-loved!

About: Nice to meet you! I’ve helped take care of medium size dogs since I was 6, and have walked & taken care of my neighbors small dogs a few years ago. I love animals, and can’t wait to play with your furry friends :) I’m currently working full time in office, but remote on Fridays. I’m happy to help with care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sunday’s, at any point during the day. I will happily follow any parameters you would like in your home. I grew up with a fenced yard, then an electric fenced yard, so I am comfortable with both.

About: I owned dogs all my life and now have two cats. I enjoy interacting with pets, caring for them and providing comfort while you’re away. Available mornings or afternoons, whatever works best for you! I am looking for recurring or one-time-only jobs, a couple days a week or part time I always use a leash to let the pet outside and on walks. I can crate your dog if needed and provide them a space to play.

About: I have watched and cared for friends/family members dogs many times (including overnights). My roommate in college was allowed to have a dog on campus so I would always help her as if it were my own dog. I love having the company of a dog especially now that I work remote and am very active so would enjoy bringing them on multiple walks. The backyard of my apartment is also pretty big and pet friendly. I am working full time mostly remote. I’m required to go in person certain days but I can do half days and leave at lunch as my office is very close to my apartment to be able to walk and be with the dogs. Would love to have a dog on the weekends when I am in town to keep me busy too. I have a yard in the back of my apartment that is big and pet friendly I am also right next to a park and lots of walkable, safe streets.

About: I pet sit for family and friends in the area from time to time. I unfortunately cannot have pets in my building, so I love having the opportunity to walk dogs in the area. I’m currently working full time but I have a hybrid work schedule. I’m typically available for walks/house sitting during the week. I’ll be available weekends as well if you’re out of town. I can accommodate for whatever you need when caring for your dog! I can send pictures and go on long walks. Just let me know!

Jenin was absolutely wonderful with Ursus! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was attentive, reliable, and caring throughout the entire time we were away. She made sure Ursus was well taken care of, kept his water and food in check, cleaned his litter box, and took the time to play with him and give him affection. We especially appreciated the updates and knowing that Ursus was in such good hands while we were traveling. It gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Jenin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. We would happily book her again!
