About: You know that person who cats gravitate towards, even if they don't usually like people? That’s me. I’ve been a cat (and dog) owner my whole life, and was an approved cat & kitten foster for 10 yrs through the Animal Rescue League of Boston. I've bottle fed newborns, syringe-fed special-needs cats. I'm quick to pick up what kind of interaction and petting each cat likes. I’m an active mom of 5 grown human kids, so patience is my middle name. Professionally, I’m a work-from-home journalist (higher ed, travel) and happy to work from yours if your cat wants more companionship than just a drop-in visit... See photos for a look at the editorial muses who've supervised my laptop.
About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my childhood and early adulthood, developing a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and compassion for animals. My experience includes feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and providing basic care. Living with cats over many years taught me the importance of consistency, attentiveness, and creating a safe, comforting environment for pets.
“Jennifer went above and beyond taking care of our cat while we were away, playing and feeding and cleaning her litter box. She sent us many photos during her visits and provided daily updates about how our cat was doing during the week. I would absolutely recommend her if anyone needs a cat sitter!”
“Chris was wonderful. Responded at the last minute, supported watching our babies with minimum guidance and was attentive to our babies. I would highly recommend Chris!!! THANK YOU CHRIS”
“Veronica and her brother Ian are an amazing team! They took great care of our 7 gerbils and 2 cats during our week-long summer vacation. They provided reassuring updates and some pet pics, which we really appreciated. We would hire them again without hesitation!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. As a current dog owner to my energetic 1½-year-old dog, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, exercise, training reinforcement, feeding schedules, and providing lots of love and attention. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can thrive. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. In addition to my experience with dogs, I have spent years caring for animals through my equestrian background, which has helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, attention to detail, and a calm, responsible approach to animal care. I have spent the last 5 years riding and training horses professionally am really passionate about all things animals ! Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. 🐾 I work as a professional rider and spend much of my day caring for and working with horses, which has given me extensive experience handling animals and maintaining consistent care routines. My schedule can vary depending on training and horse show commitments, but I do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date and am often available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I always make safety and comfort my top priority when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and routine so they feel relaxed and secure while I’m with them. I’ve grown up around animals and currently work around horses, so I’m very used to reading animal behavior and staying calm and responsible in different situations. I bring that same mindset to every dog I care for.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and for the last 6.5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising my own fur child, Melli Rose. She’s a black lab (my favorite breed) and is the chillest girl to ever exist. She’s great with other animals. I recently got engaged and am looking to make a bit of money on the side to help pay for the wedding along with getting to meet new pets! I work on a hybrid schedule—3 days remote, 2 days in the office. When I’m remote, I take my dog on multiple walks a day and would love to have yours join! I firmly believe pets are royalty and deserve to be treated as such. Nothing I do could ever repay them for their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love, but I’ll spend the rest of my repaying them with my love and affection.
About: I have both worked with and looked after many sizes/breeds of cats and dogs as well as reptiles, birds, horses, rodents, and fish! (All of varying ages) My availability is pretty open for any needed drop-by visits or longer walk/play time for your pet! This also means I am available almost any time of day for necessary feedings! I have experience crate training dogs and with walking dogs that have not been trained yet! Making sure all pets are safe and comfortable is always my priority!
About: I’ve fostered and cared for animals since I was little, working for Animal Rescue League in Boston. Highly experienced with big dogs and cats/kittens. Owner of Great Pyrenees, Bernese, and two cats. I'm a teacher with open evenings and weekends, and love spending that time with animals. Whether that's a walk outside or checking in on a pet at home, I'm happy to make sure your pets are cared for and content! I am super experienced in pet care— including animal/wildlife rehabilitation. Very mindful of what’s safe for dogs and cats of all social levels, and how to keep them calm and happy. After years of working with animal shelters as a foster home, I love working with all kinds of pets!
“We had a great experience with Nataliia watching oir dog for a week while we were out of town. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Nataliia pays close attention to detail — from monitoring food and water bowl levels to sending regular picture updates and check-ins throughout the week.”
