“Elvia did an incredible job house sitting for our dog and cat! I had such peace of mind while away because she was punctual, communicative and great with our pets. She followed all instructions and had no problem giving pills to our cat. We came home to happy animals and a clean home. We look forward to booking her again!”
“Nicole was great and Henry seemed very happy with her care over the weekend. It was our second time booking Nicole and we will be using her again! She even brought in our trash bins, which I had forgotten all about, without being asked!”
“Heather bonded with our dog right away! She has a lot of experience with dogs and house sitting, so I completely trusted her while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
“Emma is an incredible dog sitter. She is super confident in taking care of anyone’s dog, no matter what. Our dog is new to the family, so he still has some things to learn, but she had no problem taking care of him in our apartment for three nights. She’s super communicative, and put our minds at ease, since this was our first trip away from him. I would recommend to anyone. Thanks Emma!”
“Cinthia was amazing. She stayed overnight with my dog at my apartment and was super attentive and sent lots of pictures. She left the apartment very clean and my dog very happy. Nothing but positive things to say.”
“We felt very safe and comfortable leaving our girl with Nicole for the weekend. She sent updates every day and let us know when she ate her medication every time. Will definitely rebook!”
“Michelle and our dog, Meeko, are basically besties now!!! Michelle is a great sitter, we never worry when she is watching our dog, she is a great communicator, always cheerful and so trustworthy! Michelle is the best!”
“Alison watched our dog for the day and was very communicative and took care of all of his needs! This was her first time sitting for us and it was a bit of a last minute request - but we’ll definitely be booking her in the future!”
About: Pets have always been part of my family, so caring for them feels natural to me. As a young teenager I learned how important it is to give them consistent attention, love, and structure. Over the years I have taken on the responsibility and privilege of caring for folks’ pets while they traveled, making sure they felt safe and happy in their routine. I would love to offer that same peace of mind to others. Your pets will be treated like family, receiving steady companionship, playtime, and affection while you are away. I work early mornings as a bread baker, which means my afternoons and evenings are wide open for pet care. I have plenty of time during the hours most people are busy at work, so your pet will get attentive care, regular walks, and the companionship they need throughout the day. I have experience caring for pets in their homes and always follow each owner’s specific routine. However you care for your pets day to day, I will keep that same structure in place so they feel comfortable and secure while you are away.
“Frank made sure our pup was comfortable and well taken care of while we were away for a long weekend. He is always communicative and sends us updates/photos, and the house was spotless when we came home.”
About: I am very attentive. Animals have little autonomy and no way to voice their needs. I recognize the importance of keeping them engaged and am dedicated to improving their quality of life! I am available on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to pet-sit as I am on a hybrid format! I look forward to meeting your pups! I live in a 2-bedroom apartment in downtown with a dog-park and dog-friendly neighbors/staff. I am a big walker by nature, going on long walks in harbor point daily. Would love some company!
About: With ten years of pet-care and childcare experiences, I have the patience and organizational skills that make me a responsible and adaptable care giver. I love to have fun, but I know when to be serious and keep things safe for everyone! I’m currently working part time on weekdays between 9-5, with hours varying per day. I’m happy to chat about what days and times work best for you, and have lots of free time on the weekends to hang out with your pups! I am happy to care for pets in your home, maintaining the cleanliness of the space and picking up after your pet as needed. I understand the responsibilities of being a trustworthy care giver in your home!
“This was our first time using Kat and she was a wonderful dog sitter! She focused on Irie, took great care to remember our specific instructions, and asked just the right questions, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. We look forward to working with Kat often in the future. :-)”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and I truly enjoy being around all kinds of animals. Being able to provide safety and security for them is very important to me My schedule fluctuates but I’m more than happy and willing to take same day requests, as needed requests, last minute requests, any type, I’m happy to help! In my home I have 3 cats and a dog (my other 2 cats live with a coworker), and my animals are all super friendly. I will take care of pet owners animals as if they were my own, giving them love and care, and of course treats!

South End pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our first time with Zach and hopefully not our last. He was punctual, reliable and so attentive to our older dog who needs some extra care and patience. Zach sent lots of updates and photos throughout his stay. He followed Kona’s schedule to a T and even came back for an extra walk last minute the next day.
Elvia truly went above and beyond in her latest house sit for our cat Dolly. We had an incident at our home shortly before we were scheduled to leave town that required our home to be aired out while we were gone. Elvia was extremely accommodating, understanding, and helpful. All the while taking excellent care of and spending quality time with our sweet kitty. We could not be more grateful to Elvia, and recommend her without reservation!
Marimar was great!! I felt so comfortable with her watching my dog while I was out of the country. She sent updates each day with a picture. Everything went smoothly and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands. Definitely book Marimar for your pet sitting!!
Kristina is an absolutely outstanding pet sitter and a true gem for any dog parent. From our very first interaction, we felt an instant connection thanks to her warm personality and genuine thoughtfulness. Before her stay, she asked detailed, insightful questions about Penny’s routines and habits, showing how much she cares about getting everything just right. During the stay, Kristina went above and beyond, sending incredible updates filled with photos and videos that gave us total peace of mind. She brings a rare level of compassion and professionalism to dog sitting. While many shy away from special instructions, Kristina embraces them—she even provides her own simple, thoughtful questionnaire to ensure every detail is covered. We loved having Kristina in our home, and most importantly, Penny had the best time with her. It’s clear she treated Penny like her own. We can’t recommend Kristina highly enough and feel so lucky to have found her.
Wendy recently watched my 2 dogs while I was away in Europe for 11 days, and I couldn't be happier with her service. She did a wonderful job taking care of my babies ensuring they were happy and well-cared for.Wendy sent pictures and was very communicative during my time away. When I returned home, I was pleasantly surprised to find the house clean and tidy, which was an added bonus. I highly recommend Wendy for anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!
Janine is truly a star sitter. Her communication from the beginning was clear and efficient. When she house sat our dog, she sent updates frequently. She also exhibited a caring and nurturing attitude towards our dog - who does well with this approach. We were completely relaxed on our trip and would wholeheartedly recommend Janine
Leca is a wonderful cat sitter! She followed all of our instructions, was very communicative, and took great care of our cat and our home! Despite our cat being very shy, she very quickly felt at ease and warmed up to Leca. We highly recommend her services!
I’m so grateful to have found Sarah to care for our dog Nash! From the initial meet and greet to the end of our trip, she has been an absolute pleasure and has truly gone above and beyond every step of the way. She stayed at our home for a long weekend and took absolutely wonderful care of both Nash and our house. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Sarah kept me updated throughout the stay, and I came home to a very happy pup and a spotless house. I can’t wait to book her again for all of our upcoming travel (and I know Nash will be excited too)—she’s truly a gem and I cannot recommend enough!
This was our first sit with Nathalie and she exceeded all expectations. She was more than happy to come over before the sit to meet us and our puppies. She asked all of the right questions and was great with our larger rescue puppy who has stranger danger. Nathalie provided updates on our two dogs while we were on vacation and photos. She is extremely responsive, polite, flexible and kind. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my 2 dogs in her care. We will absolutely be using Nathalie again !!
