“Juli was fabulous! She helped out on a last minute Rover request that included many changes due changes in my travel plans. My cat responded instantly to her and she left everything clean kept me posted with pictures and daily updates. I’ve already booked with her again in 2 weeks & Im telling all my friends about Rover & Juli ?”
“Alex was very easy work with. He let us know each time he came to our home & had a nice update on how the pup's were doing. We also appreciated the photo's he sent us. He made it very comfortable for us to go away for a few days. We would definitely have Alex come watch our pup's again.”
“April was so attentive and responsive to schedule with and while watching our cats. She took such good care of them and kept us informed of any health issue. I can tell our cats really like her and feel safe with her by the way they responded too, especially Boo who is normally extremely shy with new people. Thank you April! We will definitely request you next time!”
“Angel went above and beyond for our pups! We highly recommend him to anyone considering going out of town. He sent multiple updates everyday, spent extra time with them and worked around our schedules! I was anxious about leaving our dogs alone but Angel made it simple and painless. We will most certainly be using him again in the future 😊 thank you so much Angel!!”
“Mollay is amazing! She took care of my kitty like she was her own. Mollay sends pictures and videos, along with a note for what she did, and how Eleanor was doing. She has such a great connection with animals, and I fully trust her to care for Eleanor again. Thank you so much Mollay!!”
“Paul was great in a time of need for our pups! Bonus that our dogs loved him (included our newly adopted pup Panda)! Will definitely book with Paul in the future!”
“It was our first time using any pet service. Met Michael before confirming service. I have a Husky and a Staffy whom both would bark alot at someone new, they gave alittle bark for a second and then just gave him sniffspections before wanting to give kisses. They took no time to be comfortable with him. Made the process smooth. I booked him for a week. In that time he spent lot of time with them, even some brushing and cleaning up the backyard. As well as moving things to keep the dogs safe while playing. Great guy. Would book again.”
About: I have grown up with dogs, and after mine passed started pet sitting for friends and family. I am experienced in working with various sized dogs, giving dogs their medicine, and am willing to to do other tasks while you are away, if staying in your home. I can provide my own transportation, and if allowed take your pet on acceptable adventures, such as hikes and trips to the beach. I have experience with dogs of all temperaments, particularly shy ones. I am CPR/First Aid trained, and recently passed a federal background check. I currently telework full time, so I would be there all day for you pets, but I also require an internet connection. I look forward to meeting you and your animals, and feel free to message me with any questions you have!
“I have booked Tory previously and I love the continuous support. Super reliable especially for someone like me that has a consistent work schedule with longer hours. Thank you!”
“Kimberly took great care of my two fur babies. They each have very different needs but she was able to make them both feel happy while also cleaning up their litter messes and all the usual feeding/water, etc. Thank you Kimberly!”
“Kristen is the best! My travel plans were abruptly changed at the last minute and Kristen was very understanding, her flexibility allowed me to have one less worry about my trip. My cat Blackie tends to be a bit difficult for people, he is getting older and he is a bit grouchy at times but it appears that he really liked Kristen and he was a very happy cat when we returned. I will definitely be using Kristen in the future and I highly recommend her for your pets needs.”
About: I specialize in caring for older animals, but am happy to exercise your younger animals. I am caring and responsible, and would love to take care of your critters! I do require a short meet and greet for each animal client. I base my schedule around animal care while attending college for respiratory therapy. I am willing to do walks only during daylight hours and am a morning person. I work with my clients to tailor my services to best fit each individual situation. Each house sitting includes a 30 minute walk per day. I am willing to take your dogs on long walks, and provide companionship to your animals, and plenty of updates for the anxious owner. I am extremely diligent about following instructions. Your animals will be kept safe, and your home clean. I can be reached most hours of the day and night, and hope to care for your fur babies so you can travel with peace of mind.
“Heather was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond while taking care of my cat! She was the best! She is someone I would definitely re book over and over again!”
“Kelly was easy to work with and was able to handle my uncertain traveling dates. Much appreciated! She took great care of the cats and kept them entertained.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes, most have been large. I can care for both puppies and seniors, though I still need work with training. I also have experience with cats and kittens. I spent some time taking care of dogs with separation anxiety, and I can tell you that I will do what I can to help your pups (or cats) feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I also have plenty of experience walking dogs of any size and energy level both professionally and personally. I am currently searching for a job, however until I have a full or part time job I can be with your furry friends all day! I even after the fact, I should always have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups and/or cats. I do everything I can to make sure that your animals will be comfortable and feel safe with me while I’m caring for them. If they’re skittish I will be slow and gentle with them, and if they are more social I will still give them space and time to get used to me, while still playing with them and taking them on walks so they can release their energy!
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!
About: My dog is not a pet; my dog is family. Home is where my dog is. Life is better with a dog. A house is not a home without a dog. Pet care typically fits into a daily routine by incorporating dedicated times for feeding, exercising (walks or playtime), bathroom breaks, grooming, and quality interaction, often woven into your morning and evening schedules, with additional short breaks throughout the day if needed, depending on your pet's needs and your work schedule I have a fenced yard and one friendly Maltese dog to keep your fur baby company..I can easily crate your dog if needed for emergency

South End pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alyssa took great care of my cat, Cuervo! He’s a senior cat and she had no problem cleaning up after his throw up accidents. Cuervo has a hard time warming up to people but all the videos and pictures Alyssa sent made me happy to see that he liked her and was excited to see her everyday.

So many thanks to Brianna for coming over to hang with Pip and let him out to go potty while I was working! He can be a bit stubborn (he is allowed to be as a senior pup haha) when trying to get him outside to go potty, but without fail, I received pics of him successfully outside on his way to do business. Brianna asked all the right questions at our meet and greet prior to the day, communicated openly and took care of our boy. I'd book them again in a heartbeat!
Michael was great with our dogs. He really spent the time to get to know them and what kind of attention they needed while we were away. We needed help a bit last-minute and he was available. When we initially made contact, we got a response within minutes. We will definitely ask for his help again.
Katie did an amazing job taking care of my 4 cats and 2 chickens while I was away. She played with the kitties and gave them plenty of attention and kept an eye on the chickens. I like that she was so attentive with the kitties and non judgmental about my messy house.
Kate is timely, thorough and reliable. She follows our instructions to the T and goes above and beyond to a make sure our kitty is well cared for while we’re away. Even with a diagnosis of heart failure and medications twice daily, I have peace of mind if I know Kate will be checking on him. Thank you so much Kate for your wonderful care of our old guy.
Jasmine was awesome. I had a last minute work trip she was able to help watch my little Walter for, and Walter LOVED her! She sent lots of pictures for every visit, which I loved, snagged one of them for my new phone lock screen lol Jasmine’s super attentive, responds quickly, friendly, left thorough visit descriptions, and I was just overall super relieved to have had left Walter in good hands. 10/10 would recommend :)
