“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”

About: I have experience sitting for a variety of dogs and cats, and have developed a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and attentiveness when it comes to pet care. I’m comfortable following specific routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering basic care, and I always make sure pets are safe and comfortable in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, so I can adjust to their energy level whether they love long walks and playtime or prefer a calmer, more relaxed environment. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands! I look forward to creating a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners! I recently graduated from Northeastern University, and now I am working part time at a physical therapy clinic. From May through the end of July, I am fully available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I work part-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; however, I am available for walks after 3:30 PM on Fridays! Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I am committed to providing consistent attention, exercise, and reliable care for your pets! I will also be attending physical therapy school in the fall, and I am using Rover as a way to help support my graduate education while continuing to do something I love: Caring for animals! I always prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in any environment. I carefully follow all instructions you provide, such as feeding routines, walk routes, medication (if needed), or any other specific preferences your pet has. For walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times and stay aware of our surroundings to keep them safe. I adjust the pace and length of walks based on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs to ensure they stay comfortable. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets get not only the essentials like food, water, and bathroom breaks, but also attention, playtime, and companionship. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can create a calm, positive experience. I’m also very respectful of your home and will keep everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

“I had a phenomenal experience leveraging Stacy for house and pet sitting. I knew from our first meet and greet she would be wonderful and she was! Stacy was thorough, patient, kind and organized. I look forward to using her services again.”

“We had a great experience working with Arshneel for the first time while we were just away for two weeks. She was incredibly reliable and responsive and gave our large, energetic dog plenty of exercise time!”

“Exception! Kristina is great with our pup. Very proactive in keeping us updated. It’s clear that she has a special bond with dogs. We would highly recommend her.”

“Ainsley, was great with my fur baby amazing , sent me updates and pictures did more then what was asked went above and beyond for my big baby I am very appreciative of her and would most definitely book her again and highly recommend.”

About: I grew up with 2 cats and a greyhound and have pet-sat and walked dogs for friends and neighbors from a young age. Throughout college, I volunteered in dog care at the local shelter, walking puppies and senior dogs alike. At the shelter, I also got experience in safely caring for dogs with behavioral challenges, such as resource guarding and dog aggression. Having worked as a vet assistant and being a current vet student, I am comfortable sitting for pets that need regular medications. I’m home for summer vacation! Without school, I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets. I work per diem as a vet assistant, so I’ll keep my calendar updated as I pick up shifts. I’ll be leaving Boston again in mid-August. I am happy to care for your pets however you see fit! I can take dogs on walks or play with them in yards, and I can crate your dog if needed.
“Anastasia is great! She is communicative, trustworthy, and even brought in a package for me. We could see through photos that Mocha loved Anastasia’s company and we knew she was being really well taken care of while we were away.”

“Ally was an amazing sitter! She watched my puppy after she was spayed and was really good about following the post-procedure care instructions. You can tell that she is a true animal lover! I would highly recommend her!!”

“Loved having Sydney over to watch my pup on a house-sitting visit overnight! We met beforehand on a meet & greet to show her around & get my pup comfy with her. It was very easy to communicate with Sydney — she is respectful, responds timely, and overall is a nice sitter & person! I felt comfortable with her in my home and with my pup in her care. 🥰 Highly recommend Sydney to others.”

“Belen took such good care of Pedrito! We've had two sitters move out of the area, and I'm so glad it was easy to find Belen who was clear, communicative, and has experience with small, reactive dogs like mine. Belen's calm demeanor is just what my dog needs. She gave him the space and opportunity to approach her when he was ready when they first met, which made a huge difference. He warmed up to her pretty quickly because of that patience. I would definitely recommend booking with Belen. She housesat, which I appreciated because that's the most comfortable for my dog. She sent lots of update pictures and videos while I was away. Can't say enough great things, thanks Belen! I'll definitely be booking with you again for Pedrito!”

“Haley was amazing!!!! Super communicative with us and made sure to send lots of pictures of Dennis while we were away! Would recommend Haley to anyone and will absolutely be booking again.”

“Levi was AMAZING! We were so lucky she had availability when we booked last minute. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and their behaviors while being very patient and understanding with our nervous rescue. She sent many pictures to keep us at ease while we were away and left the house cleaner than when we left! Chanel typically doesn’t clique with new people but she was so happy with Levi, we are so appreciative!”

“Rev was the most responsive, caring and thoughtful caring person! She sent us many, many pictures with updates throughout the days we were away and went out of her way to coordinate with our families as I had undergone an emergency surgery and couldn’t make it back in time. Simply put, Rev is the bestest!!”

“Arik is the best! He always takes such good care of our pup Bo and is so responsive. He makes sure Bo gets his walks in and even has given him his meds when needed. He always sends pics and video updates which we love to see.”

“Sevtap was great with my cat Louie. She watched him while I was out of town for a few days and I asked her to send me regular photo updates so I could see how Louie was doing and she did so. My apartment was clean and Louie was happy when I got home! Would definitely recommend her!”

South Boston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kate was a great sitter who took care of my senior (19) kitty with special needs requiring daily medication and lots of attention, as well as my four backyard chickens! She left the house clean and even washed the sheets she slept on. She was very responsive and communicative with me throughout the whole four day house sitting visit. I would recommend her as your next sitter.

Sam was very responsible with our Mabel during her dog sitting stay. She sent us updates each day to let us know how she was doing, and to keep us in the know. Mabel had gotten a little sick while Sam was with her and she let us know the next morning after taking good care of her and tracking what happened throughout the day. Definitely a trustworthy sitter and we look forward to working with her again!

Willow was EXCEPTIONAL in every way to work with as a dog sitter for our 2 year old Bijon Frise Charlie! Her wonderful communication with us, professionalism, attention to detail, and overall friendliness put us at ease every moment we were away. Willow also took wonderful care of Charlie. She asked us all the right and specific questions ahead of time to ensure he was cared for exactly as we wanted. She followed all our instructions meticulously, checked in and gave us updates, and made sure Charlie had everything he needed - walks, rest time, his food, snuggles, playtime, etc. We used Willow during a very important trip for my son's college graduation and she gave us 100% peace of mind to be able to enjoy the event and know Charlie was in the best hands. I cannot recommend her enough if you need a walker or sitter daytime, overnights, etc. You and your pup will be lucky to have Willow!
