“Devon is amazing! She is mature, professional, reliable, flexible, kind. Our plans changed several times for different reasons and Devon rolled with it and was very accommodating. She took excellent care of our senior dog who needed more attention than I anticipated and Devon was totally on top of it as the situation unfolded. She deftly managed the needs of other pup at the same time. I was 100% confident that everyone was being well cared for. Devon was communicative and responsive during her entire stay. The house was clean and neat when we returned. I highly recommend her and have already booked her for future stays.”

“Stacy was superb! We had a last minute need due to our flight getting cancelled and Stacy was very communicative and flexible during a moment of a lot of stress. My pups were very well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. My house was well taken care of as well. Would definitely book her again in the future.”

“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.”

“Haley was above and beyond amazing, she took care of our beloved senior Pomeranian Domino who is 15 years young. He has a lot of special needs, and requires constant attention along with oral medication and a prescription diet several times per day. Haley even got him through a flare up with his diseases and remained patient throughout. Haley went to great lengths to ensure we had constant update by text and with photos, which helped us stay comfortable all weekend given all his Individual needs. Haley gets a 10/10 from us, and we would highly suggest her to any clients looking for assistance, even if your pet has special/specific needs.”

“My experience with Sev was great! She responded to my inquiry promptly and also confirmed her arrival time on the day of the appointment. She has a lot of experience and took great care of my puppies Lizzy and Ollie while I was out. This was the first time the puppies had a sitter, and I came home to happy pups with wagging tails so it was a big success! I received updates with photos while I was away, and Sev was patient and firm with the pups (11 weeks old). Sev even offered to help me put away my groceries and getting the pups to sleep. I’d highly recommend Sev’s service to anyone looking for a sitter.”

South Boston pet parents share their Rover experiences
An amazing sitter! Ana Sofia checked in regularly, and sent pictures along with a daily summary. I felt very sure all of our animals were in great hands. One of my cats was prescribed an oral medication and Ana Sofia was able to continue with the treatment plan while I was gone. I will be returning for future pet sitting needs!

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Benny! Nicoletta made us feel comfortable right away — it was obvious she’s experienced with high-energy dogs and truly loves spending time with them. She was super communicative, sent amazing updates, gave Benny so much love and attention, and was incredibly respectful of our home. Everything was spotless when we got back. Benny definitely made a new bestie, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again!

Scottie took amazing care of our doggos. We were able to be away with complete peace of mind that they were in the best of hands. We had nothing but the best of experiences working with Scottie and would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone in the area. The regular updates with pics and videos were so appreciated :)(:

Karli is friendly, upbeat and has a lot of experience with dogs. She was respectful of my little dog's anxious tendencies which allowed him to warm up to her quickly. I appreciated all the updates and photos she sent while I was away. Somehow, Karli even helped him be a more patient walker, he pulls so much less than before she watched him. Thank you, Karli!

Will absolutely ask Alinés to take care of my pet in the future! Alinés provided a high level of care for my pet Eloise during an overnight stay. Prior to the overnight stay, she did a meet and greet where she took diligent notes about Eloise and her routine. Throughout the stay, I received lots of adorable pictures and updates which was comforting so I knew Eloise was settled in my absence. Alines also debriefed with me upon my return and took incredible care of my home. She is such a fabulous petsitter!!
