Victoria stayed at my house for 5 days and cared for my elderly cat, who needs daily medication. She sent frequent updates and photos and took great care of my dear Nanette. She left the house clean and neat. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and recommend her highly.

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!

I cannot recommend Ainsley enough!!! She came to hang out with Daisy ( our cavapoo) a few times leading up to her staying at our house. She is so sweet and so good with nervous puppies. I was so happy when we came home and saw how much Daisy loved being with Ainsley. We will definitely be booking with Ainsley again. Her communication with me while we were away was amazing I couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog.

We are incredibly grateful to Ailise for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Pepe, over a long weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals, and she treated Pepe with so much love, attention, and patience. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pepe felt comfortable and happy in her care. Ailise was also extremely respectful of our home and she went above and beyond to ensure things were just as we left them. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Ailise to look after Pepe again in the future. Highly recommended!

Leonardo took wonderful care of our cat, Genie, while we were away on our five day honeymoon. He came by daily to feed her, clean her litter box, and spend time with her. We especially appreciated that he brushed her when he noticed her fur was getting a bit matted and made sure to give her plenty of pets and attention. He was very communicative throughout the entire stay, sending daily updates and pictures that really put us at ease and let us know Genie was in great hands. It made such a difference being able to relax on our trip knowing she was being so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Leonardo to others and would happily book with him again in the future!

About: I have been a pet sitter for a couple years! Also, I have volunteered and interned at a veterinary hospital these experiences helped me become more informed on pet care. My main priority is providing your pet with the best care!! I will clean water bowl, provide fresh food and any further needs . I currently work a full time job but typically free Monday anytime before 8am and then again after 6:30pm, Tuesday and Thursday anytime from 9-11:30am and then again after 4pm, Wednesday, and Friday anytime from 7-1:30pm. For Saturday anytime in the day works for me and for Sunday anytime before 6am and then again at 3:30pm. My main priority is comfort making sure you are comfortable with entrusting your pet in my care and making sure your pet is comfortable with me. I will do this by allowing the pet to become familiar with me so they aren’t scared and providing treats as well as playful sessions to get them comfortable.

I could tell that my dog was calm and happy when I returned and the house was spotless! She even left the cutest crochet hat for Duck 🥹

Marilyn is a fantastic sitter and considerate homestay. She took great care of my two cats (and my home), and they really liked her based on the numerous pictures she sent where it appeared they were following her around, and not just to the wet food. What's more, Marilyn goes above and beyond. When I left for my trip and Marilyn was to begin residency the following day, my neighbor texted me and showed me that there was a window situation where a cat could escape. Even though her duty started the next day, Marilyn made a special trip to confirm cats were safe, and to fix the window situation. She even washed the bedding and towels I had left her so I wouldn't have to do it when I got home, and she generously allowed my to book two more nights of her care when I wanted to extend my trip. Marilyn is very caring, considerate and flexible. I will definitely be requesting her services again. I recommend her highly as one of the best Rover caretakers I have encountered.

Janiya was so great with my senior cat! My cat gets medication 2x a day, and Janiya was great about giving it to her and providing me with regular updates and pictures. My cat can be slow to warm up to people, but she was sharing the bed with Janiya on the first night, which made me feel really great. I would and have already booked her for another in-home sitting.

I had a wonderful experience with Victoria (Rev). We recently moved to Boston and Rev stayed in my apartment with Charlie for 5 nights, which is the longest I have had to leave him since moving. Charlie is older and has been a little anxious while adjusting to our move and it was clear that Rev gave him the love and attention he needed to keep him calm while I was away. Rev sent regular updates and photos, which helped keep my mind at ease. My flight was delayed and Rev was super accommodating to stick around until I got home. I would absolutely recommend Rev to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and truly exceptional dog sitter. We look forward to working with Rev in the future!

Katherine was a rockstar from start to finish. We just moved to the area, and so we had to find a new sitter for our cat, Moose. Moose absolutely loved Katherine and warmed up to her within minutes. He was playing with her on day 1, and it took prior sitters multiple visits before he even thought of touching a toy. Katherine gave multiple photo and video updates during her visit, and was super communicative of any issues. She stayed overnight and treated our home as her own. We will definitely be asking her to sit for Moose again!

Tommy did an excellent job keeping our elderly dog happy, safe, healthy, and loved while we were gone. I had a lot of anxiety leaving the dog behind this vacation, but Tommy did a great job putting my mind at ease. He left the house in great shape and communicated daily throughout the stay. Tommy will be our first choice next time we need a sitter!

Stacy was a pleasure to work with! She spent so much time with me during the meet and greet, making sure she understood the needs of my two Bengal boys. She did a great job taking care of them while I was away. One of the boys had just had an injury before I left and she was so attentive, making sure I got pictures of the wound to make sure everything was ok. She was great at sending pics in general, which was wonderful. Highly recommend Stacy!! I've already booked with her again :)

Devon was wonderful!! We met in advance for her to meet my dog and Luna loved her instantly. She sent me pictures every day of the fun adventures they were on or of them just snuggling on the couch. She stayed at my home with Luna and everything was left clean and organized when I returned. I didn’t have to worry about Luna at all while I was on vacation. Thanks, Devon! Would definitely recommend and use again.

Communication is such a critical element of a successful “sitting” and Leo’s approach is a prime example of a five-star experience. Leo watched my “fur babies” overnight. There was never a time that I wondered how things were going, and if Leo had a question or observation to share, he was quick to reach out. I highly recommend Leo - in fact we have already booked him again!
