“Ashlee was excellent! Skully loves her. She always provides a short summary of how the walk went and has always been on time. Highly recommend”
“Amazing experience!! Took Sadie for a much longer walk (thank you soooo much). Did a group walk w/ two other dogs which is great for her to socialize since she thinks she’s queen bee. She’s certainly going to sleep well tonight! Thanks again :)”
“Angelina was great with our dogs and I was nervous at first because of our breed of the 2 dogs and the size of our bigger dog most people are afraid of pits or are not to fond of them but she handled it very well. Did everything she was supposed to plus more. She was super kind and patient and our dogs loved her instantly. She provided great communication also. I wouldn’t know what we would have done without her while we were out of town but she gave me some relief. This was my first time and experience with the app and I loved it. I would rebook Angelina if I ever need assistance with Brick and Yola again. No matter the height or weight of a dog it didn’t scare her off , nor the excessive barking at times and the fact they love to jump on people lol. She was genuine and loved every moment from my understanding.”
“Jose is incredibly kind and compassionate and my dog - who is usually pretty wary of new people - warmed right up to him! I would recommend him to anyone that owns a dog.”
“Tan was very friendly and did well with my dog, Luna”
“Great walkers :)) so friendly and accommodating. I appreciate when a walker does their best to do long distance walks in 30 minutes. In a dream world, I’d love to pay for an hour but just can’t afford it right now, so having a walker that is putting in the effort, means so much. Nothing better than a tired dog!”
“Krysta came for my dog twice in a day as I was away working for more than 12 hrs. She came at the most perfect times, even bringing in my packages for me and took my dog all over the neighborhood on the walk. I highly recommend Krysta!”
“Kristin has been great with our dogs!! You can tell she really cares about our pets.”
“We're so glad we found Elizabeth! She's incredibly responsive, flexible, and great with our dog. Our dog has some reactivity challenges and can be quite stubborn (not always the easiest pup!) and she does a great with him.”
“grace was a life saver! helped out on a holiday, was great with Bowie, very communicative and made me feel so comfortable with my first rover experience!”
“Ange was great!! She clearly loves dogs and took great care of Ray. He was so excited to see her and was absolutely exhausted after their walk/play session. We’ll definitely use Ange again!”
About: Hi my name is Jasmine. I have been a aminal lover my whole life. I grew up breeding dogs with my mom. At the age of 10yrs I graduated from training & obiedienss school with my pet poodle. I currently dog sit privately sometimes for a few nights, a few times a whole month for some of my clients that travel out of state. I also have two furbabies of my own. I love working out and continuing my education. I'm a cirtified herbalist, I also recently got my certification as a lash technician. When I'm working with Rover safety is my top priority when caring for your furbabies! I garentee quality time and lot of love and affection as if they were my own. I can't wait to have fun and play! 🐕🐈 Animals truly bring me joy. Thank you! I currently do not work. I take care of my grandfather and my 16yr old son. Rover is my main hustle! I'd rather spend my free time with fur babies than with people honestly! It's my therapy to be with all these wonderful pets. I can take your fur baby to play,get daily exercise and run in the grass. I myself have went through dog training classes and over the years of owning my own fur babies I do know proper training techniques and dog body language that is very important when interacting with your baby and helping him/her get to know me and be comfortable and feel safe. Pets are people too! They are our family and we love them like our family. I want you to know you baby is safe and happy with me, and always cared for.

“Lydializ is amazing. We feel so lucky to have her as our dog walker. She takes such good care of our dog. I would have been so stressed returning to work if not for her!”

“thank you so much!!”
About: Hi, I’m Jasmine! I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a drop-in visit, or just extra snuggles while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I’m attentive, punctual, and committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and notes. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day. I’m especially available during early mornings, evenings, and weekends to accommodate your pet’s routine. I care for pets like they’re my own—making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow your instructions closely and always give lots of love, attention, and playtime.
About: I have many years of experience caring for my family's pets (cat + dog) since I was a teenager. Over the years I have also watched over pets, plants, and homes for neighbors and friends. I live in a clean and spacious apartment in Dorchester with my black cat, Noche (3 years old, male)! He is quite extroverted and loves to greet visitors as well sit by the windows and watch the world go by. I spend lots of time outdoors - I know lots of nearby parks to visit and safe routes to walk. If you happen to be in the Dorchester area of Boston, I am able to visit your home and spend time with your pet (or plants) multiple times a day as well as perform any basic chores that may be necessary while you are away. I am happy to meet in person or speak over the phone to discuss safety information and preferences for your pet's care. I look forward to getting to know you. I work from home so I am around to supervise pets throughout the day. I will be here in Boston during the holiday season. I am happy to plan ahead and schedule with you ASAP. I feed my cat small servings of wet food multiple times a day and clean his litter box often. He is neutered and loves to play with his toys and other cats during visits. We have multiple spacious rooms to easily separate pets for some quiet space if needed. There is also a large fenced yard to enjoy. If I am sitting at your home, I can take your pets for walks, play with them, and do other chores around the space (water plants, take in mail, etc.)

“Hi, My name is Day... I owned a blue nose pitbull for 14 years. Throughout the last 10 years Jasmine has dog sittered my Dog name King ... He is an amazing Dog that requires alot of energy and attention due to his high energy personality. Jasmine cared for King at times for an entire week at a time so I may travel to seminars and trainings throughout the USA. She is caring and kind with all animals and My Dog got along with all her cats!:) It was my favorite part seeing him have respect for other smaller creatures! She gave him so much attention and care that he truly learned to love her and King always would wacked his tale when he was at her outside door. I truly recommend Jasmine as a pet Walker or sitter she will truly care for your animal as if he /she are hers. King also has a strict diet and she respected all my request due to his Roots of being a pitbull it was important to teach him structure with a very nutritious diet. He loves play and loves apples and Mangos!??”

“Jasmine is an incredibly responsible and loving pet caregiver. She cares for her own dog, Clover, with patience, attention, and love, always prioritizing safety and proper training. I've also seen her interact wonderfully with my rabbit, showing she's experienced with different types of animals. Jasmine is well-studied in pet care and truly treats every animal like family. I highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy caregiver.”
18. Brenda E.
“I was so grateful to have Brenda as my roommate when I first adopted my kitten, Toulouse. We lived together for over two years after I adopted Toulouse, where she was his primary cat-sitter. Brenda became a friend and "fun aunt" to Toulouse, and was the only roommate of our apartment of four who Toulouse felt comfortable with. Brenda often took care of Toulouse if I went out of town, for shorter weekend trips to longer week-long trips. She was reliable and caring, and I knew Toulouse was in good hands whenever he was in her care. Brenda followed my caretaking instructions thoroughly, and she went above and beyond just feeding and litter box scooping; Brenda played with, pet, and loved Toulouse whether I was home or not. Eventually, Brenda became a cat mom herself, adopting her kitty from the same shelter Toulouse came from. I would highly recommend her to other pet owners.”
