Working with Irina was such a great experience. We really appreciated that she did a meet and greet with us and our dog a few days before, and it helped to make the drop-off process much easier because he was excited to see her. She sent updates in the morning and the evening everyday, and our pup always looked so happy the whole time. He definitely connected with her, he was even a bit hesitant to leave when we came to pick him up. We would certainly recommend Irina to anyone asking for a friendly, compassionate, and diligent sitter.

Donna is an incredible person and dog sitter. She sent daily updates and took such good care of our dog for our 11 day trip. We felt totally comfortable with her and so grateful for her care. She took our dog to the park daily, sent the best photos, and our dog made so many friends. She has a great set up and we loved everything about this stay!

Alan and his wife Christina took care of our dog for almost an entire month and we really appreciated the updates and videos. When he was feeling a little unwell, we felt that he was with loved ones that took care of him just like a family member. Overall, a great experience and would highly recommended Alan and his family to any other pet parents!!

Paola is amazing! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her husband! She will love and spoil your pet as if it were her own. She took lots of pictures and was very attentive/responsive. My fiancé and I will be using them every chance we’re able to. You will not regret it!

I met Bella for the first time 6 months ago. We bonded over our love for pets. When she told me that she was pet sittings I immediately felt comfortable asking her to take care of my two cats. They are the joy of my days and best am very skeptical to leave them with someone I don’t trust 100%. Bella did an amazing job with them! She took care and nursing them as if it was me (and of course a little spoiled time 😄). I would recommend Bella if you love your pets as I do!

About: Throughout most of my life, I've been fortunate enough to have dogs as beloved companions. At one point, we were blessed to share our home with three furry friends simultaneously: a Maltese, a husky, and an Australian Shepherd. Meanwhile, my partner also had the joy of growing up alongside two dogs throughout his life. Our hearts are deeply devoted to these wonderful creatures, and we believe they are simply superior to humans in their unconditional love and loyalty! :) I am currently a student at northeastern university which means I have worked my schedule around having a pup. I always have time in the morning for a great adventure. I come home for lunch and walk my dog to Fenway Park. In the evenings, we go for another adventure or meet our dog friends for a doggy playdate! My pet care service prioritizes your beloved pet's well-being and comfort, offering personalized attention, a safe and clean environment, regular playtime and exercise, nutritious meals, constant supervision and companionship, and regular updates to keep you connected while you're away. Our goal is to provide a caring and nurturing experience, ensuring your furry friend feels happy, secure, and loved.

Eddie was completely well-cared for by JP. He sent many photos of a happy dog playing with his happy pup. We feel very lucky to have found JP in our own neighborhood. We will definitely plan more boardings with JP and his pup and daughters in the future.

I reached out to Alina with a last-minute overnight request and thankfully she accepted. She was very communicative and sent me photos of my year old boxer Rowan during his stay. She even met us in the pouring rain for drop-off. Thank you, Alina! Hope to book with you again in the future.

This was our first time booking a sitter through rover, and we’re lucky to have found Chloe. She was very prompt and communicative and sent us frequent updates with pictures to ease our minds. She made sure my dog, Leto’s needs were met by playing with him in the yard and taking him on walks as he’s quite high energy. Although I didn’t get to meet her in person, my husband said she seemed very knowledgeable in how to care for dogs, and that he had a peace of mind leaving our baby with her. Hopefully, we’ll be privileged to use her services more often in the future when we have to leave him behind for trips!

About: My family has had dogs and cats since middle school and love to be with animals. One of my dreams was to be a conservation biologist after college. Two years ago, my partner and I decided to get a puppy together. We took training courses, watched dog-training TV shows, and read books together so we could raise a well-behaved dog. While your pup is with us, you can expect that they will have a mix of obedience training and time to run/play catch. We can also help with potty-training, crate-training, and different types of socialization if your young puppy is still learning! I am a full-time teacher and usually get home at around 3-4pm on the weekdays. However, my partner works from home and will always keep an eye on the dogs. We have a fenced backyard and live ~3 minutes walking distance from a neighborhood dog park. Blanca usually enjoys both. Blanca spends nights in her crate, but during the day is allowed on the couch. Blanca gets fed twice a day and gets walked/potty breaks throughout the day.

Carey did a great job with my somewhat difficult dog. She took to him right away, and he was very understanding of her not being very friendly to his dog. He also was very flexible when my plans kept changing. Prior to and during the visit, he was a very clear communicator and easy to get ahold of. Apparently he liked my dog despite her grumpiness, so I will definitely book with Carey again.
