Top rated South End house sitters


“Our dog was only 3 weeks into our home as a 2-year old rescue and the care and attention Erin gave her was above and beyond. I felt completely comfortable knowing both our new dog Athena and our Maine Coon mutt Party Champ were is loving hands. Bonus upon bonus: the house was immaculate!!”


“Brooklyn was FANTASTIC. The dogs loved her and you could tell she genuinely loved them. She sent so many cute photos and gave the dogs everything they needed plus some. Will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a sitter.”


“Angel was amazing, and truly was an angel for my animals! Grateful to have him house/pet sit. Communicated with me multiple times a day which made me feel at ease Highly recommend him. ♥️”


“Lisa was reliable, communicative and kind to my fur babies. She sent pictures daily during the house sit and made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. I have a hard time being away from my pups (they are older) and Lisa truly allowed me to enjoy my time away and was sensitive to my requests/my dogs needs. We came home to a clean house, happy pups and she even offered to come back because our flight delight. Lisa was great and I absolutely recommend her!”


“Alicia has been the best sitter for our dog, Ella! She is the only person we turn to when we need someone to walk/watch Ella. Alicia’s genuine love for animals shines through in her care for our girl. She's reliable, communicative, and goes the extra mile to ensure our dog feels happy and loved. We're so grateful for her!”


“Paul was great with the pups and it’s nice to come home to a clean house. I loved all the pics he sent. I highly recommend him as a pup sitter. Would hire him again in a minute.”


“We have complicated dogs, and April handled them like a champion. We got daily updates and pics, and April was incredibly responsive. We would ask her to care of our dogs again in a heartbeat!”


“Khaytlen took amazing care of my Labradors while we were away on vacation! She was super communicative. She sent lots of photos and updates and she was very kind to humans and puppers!! Very trustworthy. Will book again for future needs! Thanks Khaytlen!!”


“Anna agreed to watch Sophie at the last minute. She was great about fitting in a “meet and greet” ahead of time. She took such great care of Sophie! I think Sophie was a little disappointed when we came home, that it wasn’t Anna!!”


“Rose was great! Stayed with our herd overnight and even managed to get our under-the-weather dog to take her meds. Our 3 cats warmed up to her really quickly and everyone was happy when we got home.”


“Mollie will reach star status so fast on Rover. She’s not new to housesitting / pet sitting by any means and is the most skilled and professional Rovers I’ve ever booked for overnight pet care! I can’t say enough good things about her (and almost don’t want to because then she’ll be booked solid and Champ and Athena will never see her again 😆 she’s that good. She will have repeat after repeat clientele) Mollie is: strong, confident and calm. My dog is large (over 85 pounds) and is a rescue so has some reactivity. Even in a situation beyond Mollie’s control escalated she was able to handle it safely and calmly and de escalate it so all pets were safe. Communicative and informative. From check in to check out I knew exactly what to expect. She was clear on included walks and activities. Tidy and comfortable. I was so pleased to see she’d used the kitchen though the evidence was beyond subtle. And she even ran a wash with the duvet cover and top blanket! — Bottom line: book mollie! And tip her generously! Her rate is too good for what she offers ♥️”


“Jordyn stayed at my home to watch my dog for 4 days/ 3 nights. I came home to a happy dog and a clean house. She was really focused on keeping to his schedule and spending time with him. We did a quick meet and greet prior to booking and I just had a feeling she genuinely cared about my dog. Communication prior to and during her stay was very good. She’s caring and responsible.”


“Mariana was incredible!! I needed some last minute assistance with my pack and Mariana pulled in in the clutch. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that. Communicative, great with the dogs and super nice. I will absolutely be utilizing Mariana’s services again. Thank you Mariana!!”


“Parkre and Levi were amazing!!!! Came to my place to meet my cat and know where everything is prior to the booked visit. Sent lots of pictures of Cooper and took great care of my place. Great communication too. I would go to them first for any future pet care needs.”


“Alexis was a terrific sitter for my two dogs, cat, and chickens. Everyone warmed up instantly to her and she took very good care of the animals and house. Will book again.”


About: I’ve had cats my entire life! We currently have 4 cats including one senior kitty. I have experience with cats of all ages from 3 weeks to 18 years! I also have experience working at a Doggy Daycare playing with pups outside all day, I’m excited to meet your fur babies :) I’m currently a part time student online and I live with my parents so I have lots of free time to hang with your fur babies! I’m happy to feed, clean litter, play or just sit on the couch with your animals :) I’m pretty good at connecting with even the grumpiest grandpa fluffs and can read body language well!
