“Kona absolutely loves staying here! He gets so excited every time we arrive, which gives me so much peace of mind. Emily takes such great care of him and always keeps me updated with photos and messages. It’s clear that he feels comfortable and happy while he’s there. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gives him. Highly recommend!”
“Our girls enjoyed every minute of there extended stay with Lark and her family. From the moment we dropped them off she sent us regular updates and just pictures and videos showing us how they were settling in. As we travel often and they have to be with a sitter at times we are happy to have found Lark. We will definitely use them as our sitters again and refer them to anyone looking for quality pet sitters.”
“My pup was so happy during his stay with her. Constant updates and video snippets all day. I’m definitely choosing her again when I need someone to take care of my boy. Thank you again!”
“Perfect place for our pugs. We knew they were being well cared for while we were away. Loved getting pictures to seeing what they were up to! We highly recommend Brian and we would definitely rebook next time we go away.”
“Kel is wondering! My 2 pups felt every much at home, and loved playing with her dog! She was great at sending me pictures and updates every day!We were very happy using her and will most definitely use her in the future!🐶”
About: I've had dogs all my life and currently care for two . This has given experience with training puppies and understanding the needs of older dogs. I'm very reliable, making sure to be on time and give each pet the attention they need. You can trust me to take great care of your pets. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at my dad’s family-owned business, which gives me a very flexible schedule. If I have a walk or drop-in scheduled during those hours, I’m usually able to leave work to take care of your pet and return afterward. I’m also completely free after 1 p.m. and on weekends. I’m even able to bring dogs to work with me if you’re comfortable with it and your dog does well in that environment. This gives me the flexibility to accommodate different schedules and means your pet doesn’t necessarily have to be left alone just because I’m at work. I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, so caring for pets is already a normal part of my everyday routine. When caring for pets in my home, I try to make them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and affection throughout the day. I have two friendly dogs of my own, so if your pet enjoys other dogs, they’ll also have some company and a chance to play. Pets are welcome on my furniture, and I’m happy to accommodate crates, specific feeding schedules, medications, or other routines they’re used to at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I know pets can be more comfortable when things feel familiar, so I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and anything else that is important to your pet.
“We would highly recommend Tracy for keeping your dog. He and his wife Tammy treated our dog Spirit like she was theirs. She was allowed most any where in the house. Tracy did her favorite thing by walking her 4 times a day. He gave us progress reports an pictures every day. So that we didn’t miss her quite as bad. We will definitely be leaving her with him again.”
“Avery is absolutely wonderful! She’s so sweet and caring, and my dog Munch loves going to her house. He felt comfortable right away and got along perfectly with her cats—no issues at all. It’s clear that Avery has a natural way with animals and provides a warm, welcoming environment. I always feel at ease knowing Munch is happy and well cared for with her. Highly recommend!”
“They did great with my Mosey. He autos very anxious when I leave him with a boarder but he was nice and happy there. And they updated me every day. I will be going to them again.😊”
“Cassie is one of the best dog sitters I've had to take care of my dogs. She truly cares and ensured my dogs were comfortable and adjusted on the first encounter. She readily communicated any needs and concerns so regarding my dogs to ensure I had peace of mind and felt at ease being overseas and far away from my dogs. I sincerely appreciate who She is and her passion for dogs. Will recommend her without any reservation.”
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of experience caring for multiple pets, I bring a unique level of knowledge and compassion to every pet I care for. As a recent graduate of an accredited veterinary school and an experienced animal shelter volunteer, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Your pets will receive attentive, loving care from someone who truly understands how much they mean to your family. I currently have a flexible daily schedule and am available throughout the day and night to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I have temporarily stepped away from in-clinic employment as I prepare for my veterinary licensing exam, allowing me to dedicate my time and attention to pet sitting and ensuring your pets receive consistent, loving care. My home is well-equipped to provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for overnight and in-home pet sitting. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, as well as two friendly dogs who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy socializing. A kennel is available for small to medium-sized dogs when needed, and the home’s hardwood floors make cleanup easier in the event of occasional potty accidents. Pets are also welcome on the furniture, so they can relax and feel at home. I also have experience caring for senior and chronically ill pets, including administering medications as needed. I understand that every pet has unique routines and needs, and I am committed to providing patient, attentive, and compassionate care throughout their stay.
“Jasmine was amazing with our 50 lb Jindo named Pooka, who loved not going to a kennel while my father took a three day trip. She kept Pooka in her home and took her out to the dog park next door. She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend and put my father at ease that the dog was well cared for. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Great experience. It's easy to see right away that Stephanie is an animal lover. We will definitely use her again! Thank you so much Stephanie. I think Casey is already missing you.”
“The Jasmyne experience was everything I could imagine and more! She was polite, very educated on dogs awareness ( everything dog) . She made me and my baby Bam bam feel like one of the family. There was a since of trust that she gave me that made me feel confident in leaving my baby. I have never left him anywhere especially if I felt they don’t want to give him the love and support I would . I am very pleased at the way she cared for him and want to use her services again and again. She was very professional and consistent and that was very important to me. Choose her and you wil not regret it!”

They loved having Emily come in and feed them! This is such a wonderful service and we will definitely be using Emily again!”
“Tasha was wonderful when watching our cat. She kept us up to date and well informed while we were away. She sent us the best pictures of our cat that made us smile.”
“Yuki had a wonderful time with our pet sitter! She had so much fun playing with their pets and came home happy and well cared for. They were incredibly kind, friendly, and made us feel comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, with prompt responses and updates that gave us peace of mind. Their home is also very convenient to ours, which made drop-off and pick-up easy. We couldn't be happier with the experience and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Taqauashia was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and took such good care of my cat, Moxie. Moxie is a little shy at first, but she warmed up quickly and was super comfortable—which made me feel so at ease. Everything was smooth, my home was in great shape, and she even brought a package in for me which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Hannah was great to work with! She was prompt, had great communication, and took excellent care of our dog. She left notes and multiple photos during each drop in. Highly recommend.”
About: Growing up, my father used to breed Mastiffs and Pitt Bulls, so I am no stranger to large breeds. Since I was 16, I have taken care of multiple large families of dogs, horses, cats, etc, so even a farm full of animals is no challenge. I have 2 pups of my own; a pit bull/lab and an aussie/healer who I have had for 6 years. Any amount, any size, any breed; I will take care of yours like they’re my own. I work full time Monday-Friday, 6:30am-3:15pm. I am an early riser so I can feed pets before work and will be available for walks and feedings after work as well. I will feed your animals to your specifications. With a fenced in yard, I will ensure I spend time with your pet outdoors playing, doing basic training if necessary, and ensuring physical activity as I do with my dogs. If I am watching them overnight, they will get at least one walk a day, and more if required.
“Kayla was awesome and provided us with updates that made me feel so much better about being away! We have one kitty that likes to hide and is very scared and she even made sure to find her and let us know she was okay. Thank you so much for taking care of our 3 kitties!!!”
“Tracy is a fantastic dog sitter! I recently hired Tracy to look after my two dogs, Dixie and Kaya, while I was away, and he absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the very first communication, Tracy was professional, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic about caring for them. He arrived on time for every feeding, and play session and sent daily updates with photos and messages so I never had to worry. If you're looking for a reliable, caring sitter, I highly recommend Tracy. My dogs were in great hands, and I'll definitely be booking him again the next time I travel. Thanks, Tracy!”

About: My husband and I have both grown up with many different dog breeds. We’ve recently adopted two puppies, and went through the process of training them to where they are now. From potty training from 8 weeks, to leash and recall training we’ve learned the patience and methods to correctly instill these habits into our pets. We’ve helped both friend and families by taking care of their pets when they are away for travel, handling dogs ranging from miniature chihuahuas to Great Danes, and every age group including senior dogs. We’ll make sure your pet gets the best care, wether that be from previous experiences we’ve had or by learning something new so your dog is always happy! We work but have a flexible schedule, we work our schedules around our dogs. Waking up early to allow them to burn energy. We’re both home for lunch to allow our dogs to have a potty break and play, then by 3pm our dogs get the rest of the day to eat and play as they please. Our dogs eat at 6:30am, play till 7:30am, potty break from 11am-1pm, at 3pm dogs are let out to play and dinner at 5pm, bed time is 8pm
“Missy and John are very kind and take their doggy daycare hygiene and safety practices seriously. We felt very comfortable leaving our crew of 4 dogs with them while we went to family for Thanksgiving. They communicated frequently with us and were flexible with drop off/pick up times. We will be back!”
“What a wonderful experience Ziggy had with Tracey! My furry boy can be a little anxious in new environments, but his sitter was absolutely amazing. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear Ziggy was in kind and thoughtful hands. When we picked Ziggy up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a fantastic time. I couldn't have asked for a better visit for him and highly recommend this compassionate and attentive dog sitter!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Boylston
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size, shape, and breed since I was roughly 8. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very reasonably priced, and as a veterinary technician of 5+ years and a graduate of Jefferson State’s Veterinary Technology program, I have the specialized training for giving medications and what to do should an emergency arise! I am familiar with emergency medicine and have worked in an ER setting for almost a year. I’m currently taking a break from veterinary medicine to study for my state licensing exam to become a licensed veterinary technician! This has freed my schedule up to provide more care for pets! My weekends are considerably more free but I can provide morning or afternoon/evening drop ins! I have a large yard that is completely fenced! I crate my own pets when I am not home so I am happy to stop in and let your crated pets out for potty breaks! I adhere to feeding/bathroom/medication schedules to a T.
About: I've had a variety of pets over the years! Currently I have three cats, and one snake. I am well versed in caring for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and isopods. I'm better with animals than I am humans a lot of the time hahaha. I also have two kids, one just left for college, and the other is 13. Currently I have a part-time job as a preschool teacher. Being part time leaves me with a lot of flexibility for care schedules. I will do my best to make sure that I meet all scheduling needs of each client, and openly communicate any conflict in advance. I care for animals however they need. Each animal is an individual and deserves to be treated as such. It's important to me to listen, and follow directions provided, as well as assessing each situation and the animal. My goal is to make sure that I am giving each pet the proper care. That can only happen with open communication with the pet parents.
“Fantastic dog walker who’s very comfortable around working dog breeds (hard to find!). Extremely reliable, excellent communication, punctual and honest! I love that she’s active in the AKC training clubs so she’s not only comfortable with solid obedience training but agility as well. This is key for our family to have a sitter who has more advanced experience than the typical rover dog walker. It adds a lot more peace of mind for consistent training and behavior expected with my dobie, even under the care of someone else when I am away. My Doberman is very comfortable which says a lot as she doesn’t connect with everyone so I am thrilled they click so well and she gets the wiggles when she sees her but also listens to her commands and has respect for Almu. I appreciate the tender care Almu has taken and no detail overlooked. I am a high maintence dog owner and Almu went well above and beyond! I’m going to be using her dog walking services long term. She even took care to take my dobie hiking in the rain so not a single potty break or exercise routine was missed. Very grateful!”
About: Fun fact: every pet I’ve ever had died from old age. In other words, I’ll take good care of your pets. I currently have 3 dogs and a senior cat that I’ve had since high school!

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized, reliable care I give to every pet. I focus on keeping your cat or dog comfortable in their own home, which reduces stress and keeps their routine consistent. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer frequent check-ins, great communication, and real-time updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs, including pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a gentler pace, medication reminders, and closer attention. Your pet’s safety is my priority, and I always treat your home with respect and care. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I balance school and work with a schedule that’s still very flexible. I’m able to plan my work shifts and classes around the visits I book, which lets me give each pet focused, unrushed attention. I keep my calendar organized so I never overbook myself, and I make sure I have plenty of availability for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize communication, consistency, and reliability so your pets get the best care while you’re away. I focus on making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely cared for in their own familiar environment. When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly, and feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I always take time to bond with your pet at their pace, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I refresh water, deep-clean litter boxes when needed, tidy up any messes, and make sure your home is left just as you expect. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will update you regularly with pictures and notes so you always know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is to give your pet comfort and consistency while giving you peace of mind.
About: I have had pets of my own since I was little, such as dogs, cats, and rodents! I have experience with elderly dogs and puppies, as well as all ages of cats.

I take all I know and use it to try to create a better experience for all furry little dudes and dudettes! Pet care is already an everyday task for me. Getting the opportunity to take care of more furry little guys would fit right into my normal daily routine! I care for the animals around me like I would care for humans around me. If there’s anything unsafe, it will be handled immediately! Other than safety, I like to ensure the pets around me have adequate food, treats, exercise time, and affection.

“Kona absolutely loves staying here! He gets so excited every time we arrive, which gives me so much peace of mind. Emily takes such great care of him and always keeps me updated with photos and messages. It’s clear that he feels comfortable and happy while he’s there. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gives him. Highly recommend!”
“Our girls enjoyed every minute of there extended stay with Lark and her family. From the moment we dropped them off she sent us regular updates and just pictures and videos showing us how they were settling in. As we travel often and they have to be with a sitter at times we are happy to have found Lark. We will definitely use them as our sitters again and refer them to anyone looking for quality pet sitters.”
“My pup was so happy during his stay with her. Constant updates and video snippets all day. I’m definitely choosing her again when I need someone to take care of my boy. Thank you again!”
“Kel is wondering! My 2 pups felt every much at home, and loved playing with her dog! She was great at sending me pictures and updates every day!We were very happy using her and will most definitely use her in the future!🐶”
“We would highly recommend Tracy for keeping your dog. He and his wife Tammy treated our dog Spirit like she was theirs. She was allowed most any where in the house. Tracy did her favorite thing by walking her 4 times a day. He gave us progress reports an pictures every day. So that we didn’t miss her quite as bad. We will definitely be leaving her with him again.”
“Avery is absolutely wonderful! She’s so sweet and caring, and my dog Munch loves going to her house. He felt comfortable right away and got along perfectly with her cats—no issues at all. It’s clear that Avery has a natural way with animals and provides a warm, welcoming environment. I always feel at ease knowing Munch is happy and well cared for with her. Highly recommend!”
“They did great with my Mosey. He autos very anxious when I leave him with a boarder but he was nice and happy there. And they updated me every day. I will be going to them again.😊”
“Cassie is one of the best dog sitters I've had to take care of my dogs. She truly cares and ensured my dogs were comfortable and adjusted on the first encounter. She readily communicated any needs and concerns so regarding my dogs to ensure I had peace of mind and felt at ease being overseas and far away from my dogs. I sincerely appreciate who She is and her passion for dogs. Will recommend her without any reservation.”
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of experience caring for multiple pets, I bring a unique level of knowledge and compassion to every pet I care for. As a recent graduate of an accredited veterinary school and an experienced animal shelter volunteer, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Your pets will receive attentive, loving care from someone who truly understands how much they mean to your family. I currently have a flexible daily schedule and am available throughout the day and night to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I have temporarily stepped away from in-clinic employment as I prepare for my veterinary licensing exam, allowing me to dedicate my time and attention to pet sitting and ensuring your pets receive consistent, loving care. My home is well-equipped to provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for overnight and in-home pet sitting. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, as well as two friendly dogs who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy socializing. A kennel is available for small to medium-sized dogs when needed, and the home’s hardwood floors make cleanup easier in the event of occasional potty accidents. Pets are also welcome on the furniture, so they can relax and feel at home. I also have experience caring for senior and chronically ill pets, including administering medications as needed. I understand that every pet has unique routines and needs, and I am committed to providing patient, attentive, and compassionate care throughout their stay.
“Jasmine was amazing with our 50 lb Jindo named Pooka, who loved not going to a kennel while my father took a three day trip. She kept Pooka in her home and took her out to the dog park next door. She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend and put my father at ease that the dog was well cared for. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Great experience. It's easy to see right away that Stephanie is an animal lover. We will definitely use her again! Thank you so much Stephanie. I think Casey is already missing you.”
“The Jasmyne experience was everything I could imagine and more! She was polite, very educated on dogs awareness ( everything dog) . She made me and my baby Bam bam feel like one of the family. There was a since of trust that she gave me that made me feel confident in leaving my baby. I have never left him anywhere especially if I felt they don’t want to give him the love and support I would . I am very pleased at the way she cared for him and want to use her services again and again. She was very professional and consistent and that was very important to me. Choose her and you wil not regret it!”
About: Hi, I'm Courtney! I have been caring for dogs for over 20 years, both as a pet owner and a professional sitter. Me & my pit bull, Tulip, love new friends and we guarantee that your babies will be loved, well fed & given all the belly rubs while you’re away!! I currently work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I have a large fenced in backyard corner lot with a gate that provides so many places to run & play all day! I am happy to adhere to your babies food schedule!! My fenced-in corner lot provides ample space for running and playtime! My dog, Tulip, loves to make new friends! If your dog is best suited to a one-dog-only home, this would not be the best fit for them!
“Taquashia provided excellent service for our French bulldog. He has some restrictions and she was able to meet them while still allowing him to still be a dog. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
