About: I have had dogs and been around dogs and cats my whole life! Love to take care of them and watch them. I have experience with pets of all ages and would love to help out in any way I can! I have dog sat many time before for friends and family! I work from home a few days of the week and have a flexible schedule to walk dogs. I also have lots of availability on the weekends as well! I am very gentle and caring with the pets I take care of. It’s important that the pet can trust you and listen to your authority when needed. Befriending the animal is super important so they feel safe!
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. I will ensure your dog is happy and safe, while having fun and getting belly rubs! Outside of work my schedule is fairly flexible and I am available for afternoon/evening walks and care that may be needed. I will work with you to create the best schedule for you and your pup! I am very respectful of others homes, and would ensure your dogs needs are met and they are given some love before exiting. Our homes are our safe spaces, so I would ensure the door is locked when I leave and your dog is happily awaiting your arrival home!
“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!”


“Catherine did an outstanding job caring for our special needs cat. She was organized, detail oriented and had great communication before, during and after the scheduled visits. I was worried about leaving my cat since he has had some health issues recently, but Catherine immediately put me at ease because I could tell she truly cares about animals and would go the extra mile to ensure he is safe and healthy. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our holidays and not worry about anything, and everything was in great shape when we got home. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I could not have had a better experience than I did with Liz! She took amazing care of my cat, and was extremely communicative which I greatly appreciated. 10/10 recommend!”

“Madison was fabulous. My husband and I last minute had to be away, and she came and walked our dog and took care of her very last minute. She was so easy to communicate with, so friendly, and provided updates. Would recommend anyone looking for a sitter or walker to use her!”

“I have no qualms about having Kyle watch our pets anytime. He is very communicative, and gives really good feedback on his visits. The pictures were great and I could see the dogs were having a great time! Thanks for watching our pups!”

“We had just moved to Boston and needed a needed a dog-sitter on short notice for our Great Dane pup, Gordon, and David crushed it! He is super-patient and confident with our big boy and expertly communicative. David will always be our “go to!””

“Lisa checked in on my cat Keke on short notice and was wonderful! She gave detailed updates with lots of photos and I came back to a healthy happy cat! I could tell Keke loved playing with her! I highly recommend Lisa for your pet care needs. Thank you!”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats and dogs. I’m a cat mom since 2017, volunteer at a local cat shelter, and enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for your pet’s needs throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and schedules, and I’m also available for evening, nighttime, and weekend care. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need! I live in a spacious apartment with plenty of room for pets to feel comfortable. I also have a separate room available for shy or nervous cats who may need a quiet space to settle in. When visiting your home, I’m always careful when opening doors and entering or leaving to help prevent curious cats or dogs from accidentally getting out.
About: I’ve had a dog for 10+ years and have assumed the primary care taking role. I’ve additionally volunteered at an animal shelter for a summer camp and have experience with birds as well! Recently moved to the Boston area and looking for a couple hours a week. I work both at home and in office so my schedule is flexible! It really just depends on my work schedule for the day. I am not able to host pets in my home due to renters limits but am happy to visit your home to care for your pet. Respectful of your space :)
“Alex was conscientious and thoughtful cat-sitter, even finding our sneaky boys when they were hiding in strange places. Alex was also an excellent communicator, letting us know what was going on and asking questions when needed to ensure the best care. Always professional, kind, and careful, Alex comes with our full recommendation and we will be calling upon Alex’s services for future cat-sitting!”

We are very happy Cat was able to look over our cat during a long weekend. From the start she was very attentive and made sure to understand our cats needs. She was exactly on time and even made sure to help clean up our robot vacuum when it got tangled on some wires while we were away. Thanks Cat!

Steve was wonderful with Pepper while we were away for three days! He checked everything we asked, kept us updated, and sent photos with every visit. Pepper is usually very shy, but he really liked Steve and seemed very comfortable with him. We would definitely book with Steve again!

Really appreciated Piper's detailed messages about each visit to check on my two cats. My pets are both older and on the higher maintenance side, with one needing daily medication and the other being more sensitive to changes in diet and a pickier eater in general. Piper didn't have a problem accomodating this at all.

Cidra has been great! Very responsive and communicative - we have booked with Cidra twice now, and would definitely again. One of our cats is very skittish so we were really impressed that Cidra was able to get him to come out from his hiding spot under the couch. We're happy that both our cats feel friendly towards Cidra

Caroline was great! Looked after my 2 very shy boys, even getting them to come to her for pets and treats. I will definitely use her for drop ins for my kitties in the future. On top of her great care for my boys, she brought in our mail for us, which was delivered even though I put a hold request in.

Wow! I have had a lot of cat sitters on River, but Jenin is by far the most communicative and thorough sitter my 2 cats have ever had! I didn’t have to worry for a second about them because I was totally up to date about how they were doing, down to a stray hairball. Really can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again.
