“Amy was very kind with my 13-year old dog sending me multiple pictures with details of his daily activities. I appreciated that she took him for regular walks. Amy was also timely with communications regarding drop off and pick up time changes. I will definitely use Rover again and have Amy take care of my dog in the future.”
“There aren't enough good things that I can say about Chad and his family! Not only was he super responsive, but I definitely felt like my dog was in good hands. Throughout my trip, I received many photo updates, usually when my dog was out and about playing with other pups. Having someone that you can depend on is paramount and I hit the jackpot with Chad. THANK YOU!!! P.S. Jovie says hello 🙂”
“Ashley and her family are wonderful! We are repeat clients and even have 2 more stays booked!! We know our dogs are being showered with attention and love. And they highly enjoy their stay with them!”
“Excellent sitter! He was kind, professional, and very responsive, making everything easy from start to finish. I really appreciated his communication and reliability. I would absolutely recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”
“With a last minute request, Dooku spent a weekend with Lindsay and her family. From the onset, Lindsay was very prompt with responses, she was very communicative, pleasant and positive. I expressed a concern about Dooku being susceptible to heat exhaustion because he is a black Lab with two coats and the days were very hot (100 to 105 degrees). Lindsay put me at ease and made it clear that she would take care of him, exercise him lightly and monitor his behavior. Knowing Lindsay and her family had a swimming pool, I cautioned her about Dooku’s love for swimming (it’s a lab thing 🐕🦺🐾) and that she would be challenged keeping him out of the pool. Throughout the stay, Lindsay sent me updates, photos and in no time at all, she informed me Dooku was swimming in her pool with her family and they were having fun! There is nothing like putting your cherished pup in the hands of someone else and knowing they are safe and well taken care of. Dooku will certainly be back and Lindsay comes highly recommended! Thanks Lindsay!!!”
“Jillian and her family were wonderful with our dog. They incorporated him into their lives and he had a great stay and was even sad to leave. While it was great to get home, he missed her kids and all their attention. I would definitely recommend Jullian.”
“Tina was fantastic with Freya from start to finish. She was great with communication and very sweet to my dog. Unfortunately, my dog never got over the excitement of her chickens and Tina had to spend a significant amount of time monitoring her and keeping her away from the chickens, which was a lot of work. It’s too bad, because we would have loved to come back again! Tina was great, no complaints. My only complaints are towards my hyperactive dog for not chilling out about the chickens, haha!”
“Bob & Vicky were fantastic & their home is set up perfectly for our 2 pups who love a backyard and quick access with doggie door along with lots of attention & loving. We are thrilled to have found this ideal home away from home for our treasured family members! Thanks so much Bob & Vicky!”
“Tasha was one of the best dog sitters I’ve used on Rover! She was very responsive, communicated well, and took excellent care of my dog. It was comforting to know my dog was in a safe environment while I was out of town. Highly recommend!”
“We were so impressed with Amber. She went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule. She also made our dog comfortable during a thunderstorm. We are very grateful and would highly recommend!”
“Lori is a great pet sitter, You can tell she’s really good with animals! I didn’t think Quincy was going to want to come home he really was welcomed and I know he had a fabulous time. I got pictures everyday I was on vacation and really am thankful for the great care she took of him. Absolutely recommended”
“Tyler has been great with our dog! This was our second time using Tyler and our dog was so excited to see him again. Tyler was willing to work with us when our travel plans got messed up. We are so grateful for his patience.”
“Lerin came through when we needed a last minute dog sitter. Duncan was well taken care of. We received updates and pictures during his stay. We will definitely contact Lerin again when we need a sitter!”
“Karin did a great job watching our dogs, they were very happy and well taken care of. She sent updates and pictures regularly. I would recommend her to watch your dogs.”
“We absolutely loved having Rich and his family watch Harbor! It was our first time leaving her with someone and they were extremely responsive, sent lots of photos, and she was SO happy when we picked her up!”

“Adrianna did great with Lana for the week I was away, I would recommend using her to care for your pets while you're away. She provided daily, personalized messages and photos that alleviated any worries that I might have.”
“Amazing! Kelcy has helped me more than once with my cats and I can not recommend her enough! Great communication and pictures :) I know my cats are so well taken care of and that peace of mind is priceless. Def a repeat customer!”
“Morgan was awesome! So awesome that when I got home from my trip my cat had learned how to speak English so he could tell me how awesome she was and how she not only fed him, played with him, and gave him his treats, but how he was mildly disappointed with me returning because he enjoyed her company so much! She’s now hopefully gonna be my go-to whenever I’m traveling!”
“I hired Kayla for the first time last week. She did a great job, very responsible. She's now at the top of my "go-to" list the next time I need a cat sitter. Good job, Kayla!”
“Kristi was great! She sent pictures, gave regular updates, followed care instructions, and asked questions as they arose. I could tell my cats were doing great from the photos, and comments she sent.”
About: I've worked as a vet tech assistant and kennel assistant in a boarding facility where I gave oral medications, dealt with difficult pets, trimmed nails, the works. I've been pet sitting since high school and have owned dogs and cats my entire life. I don't own cats at the moment but I'd love to help take care of yours to get my fix in while I work a full time monday-friday job. So if you're leaving for the weekend, your cats will be in good hands with me! If you're gone longer than that, let's talk about it!
“Melinda is a great sitter! She took amazing care of our cat despite there being extra stress from our recent move. Was proactive and insisted on meeting us ahead of time which was comforting since we are new to the area. Overall we would absolutely book again!”
“We’ve booked Sara multiple times for pop-in visits with our cat. You’d never know it from Sara’s interactions with her, but our cat has a violent side. She’s scared off sitters before. But we can tell from the pictures and Austen’s disposition when we get home that she feels comfortable with Sara. Brings us great peace of mind!”
“This is our first time hiring Crystal. Feeding our cats is kind of crazy/complicated. However Crystal did a great job with that and everything else. Sent texts and pics each day. We will definitely hire her in the future.”
“Kelci has been wonderful with our shy cat! Even though our kitty tends to hide when we’re away, Kelci is always so patient, gentle, and understanding. She takes the time to make sure everything is perfect and keeps us updated with sweet messages! We really appreciate her care and reliability — we’re repeat, very happy customers!”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life. I helped take care of a feral cat colony growing up and have had many cats with many different personalities come into my life. I understand a cats love is earned and I love building trust with them!

“Amy was the best! Not only did she take such great care of my dog, she also went above and beyond to allow me to drop off a little early and pick up a little late. 10/10 experience with her!!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always been around them! My dad does rover and I have helped him take them on walks, and fed them. I have a pretty flexible schedule and I am home most days with the occasional errand run. I love to workout as well so walking or running with the dogs would be great! I will give the pups plenty of attention and care that they need. I will also be flexible with the owners needs for their pet.
About: 🐾 About Me Hi there! I’m Kayla, a lifelong animal lover with a big heart for animals. From energetic puppies to mellow seniors, I’ve cared for pets of all personalities and needs — and I treat every one of them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, medication, or just a little extra TLC, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique routine and personality. You can count on me for: ✨ Reliable, on-time visits 🐶 Lots of love, attention & play 🐾 Updates with photos and messages 🐕 Experience with dogs, cats, and small animals Your pets deserve more than just basic care — they deserve comfort, companionship, and someone who genuinely enjoys being with them. That’s exactly what I provide. Let’s make sure your best friend gets the care (and cuddles) they deserve while you’re away! 💛 I currently work from home during the week and part time at a spa on the weekends. I have tons of free time and flexibility with my schedule. I have a full chain link fenced yard with doggy door access to the house. I also have the space to be able to accommodate crates if necessary.
“Skye and Nolan are fantastic! They took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved all the attention. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to others!”
“Andi and Tim were awesome!! They met us with so much love, excitement and willingness to accept Rollie as her quirky self. Not only were they flexible but they sent me photos n messages to reassure me that Rollie was having the best time and in great hands while they got their dog fix haha. It was great and would 100% recommend them as well as love to book them again next time I’m in town.”

“My family and I were visiting from out of state and wanted to go to the zoo so we needed last minute doggy daycare. DeHanna was so responsive when messaging. She was kind and understanding with my girls needs. When I picked my girl she showed no signs of stress and was super happy. I would book with her again! Highly recommend and thank you!”
“Lilly Had such a great time with Michael & Wendy and family! They have a very loving home and will always treat your sweet pup like their own. They are also very knowledgeable about dogs and you can have peace of mind knowing yours is in their hands. We definitely can't wait to come see you guys again in the future. Many thanks to you !”
“Our dog had a great time with Amber and Jasper! She was shy at first, but was zooming in the backyard in no time. ?? Great updates throughout the day were so appreciated.”

“I was so worried about transitioning from Daycare to leaving my pup home all day and having Laramie has been so great. She made it super easy to set up the visits and always sends a photo or two so I know how he is doing during the day. She’s gives him his treat before he goes so he has something to do to keep him busy for a little longer which helps me feel better about the day alone. He’s been doing great with the transition and seems happy being home which is great!”
“Bailey did a great job walking Jasper! She was very attentive to his needs (he’s a senior dog) and was excellent at following instructions for treat puzzles etc. Thank you so much, Bailey!”
About: I have taken care of dogs as long as I can remember. My family has always owned pets! I am not a stranger to pet sitting for family or friends and I love it! I do not start my full time job until late September so I am free whenever needed! I understand how difficult it can be to schedule vacations with pets so I am here to help! :) I am not able to board pets. I can provide all the attention pets need! I can take them for long walks (Or short ones if little legs are a part of the equation!), play with your pet in your yard, ensure pets are receiving their meals on time, and help your pets feel less lonely whenever families are gone!
“Anastasia was great, truly professional. She offered to come over for a little meet and greet ahead of time. On the day of, she confirmed in the app and was timely in arriving. She took such sweet care of my pup and provided several photos of their adventures together. It is such a stress relief to know that my girl is getting nice, long walks during my working days now. We will be using Anatasia regularly!”
“Our dog,Buster, loved Jolynne! She was very patient with him when he wasn’t sure about going out in the rain. Today he was waiting at the door for her even though I home ! I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have walked and boarded dogs for 10 years. I am new to Rover. I love taking dogs for walks and getting them some exercise and enrichment. I work 9-5, with time for walks during lunch, before work, and in the evenings. Weekends can include up to three walks a day, including longer walks. At home, or with clients, dogs get a good watchful eye to ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. With an adventurous pup of my own, I am careful to remove any “escape opportunities”

I walk or run 2-3 miles a day and would love to have a furry friend to join me.

I look forward to getting to know you and your dogs, and answer any questions you may have! I am available most days to walk dogs and check on them throughout the day in their own home. I do have two dogs of my own so I won’t be able to board in my home. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I absolutely love dogs and would love to have an animal sanctuary one day.
“Caitlynn was doing walks/drop in visits with my dog when I was out of town. She is very responsive and I know my dog is in good hands with her. This is my second time booking with her and I will continue to do so!”

My schedule is extremely flexible so please feel free to contact me anytime and I’ll do my best to help out. I look forward to meeting you both!

About: Hello, my name is Atticus! I worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, have been pet and house sitting for neighbors and friends for over 3 years, actively volunteer at a cat shelter since 2017, and have been walking dogs since I was a kid. I have 5 pets (one dog, three cats, and one snake) of my own, making me well versed in caring for a variety of animals. I work a sporadically scheduled contracted job 1 to 3 Saturdays a month that I'm very committed to. However, these jobs have never gotten in the way of my care towards my own animals and the animals I have pet sat for. I don't pet sit in my own home, as I can't be sure that my animals will 100% get along with a client's animal. I have slept over in guest rooms of the houses I have spent over night in, as well as having only been in the house with the pets during the day, all per the client's request. Whatever one's house looks like or whatever features one's house may have, I am always sure to respect boundaries, clean up after myself, and make sure the house is left looking better than when I arrived.
“Britney and Nikki have a great attitude and are very kind. Asked all the right questions. Happy with their responsiveness and care for our 2 dogs. They even sent a bunch of pictures from their walk. Would book again with Britney and Nikki!”
About: I have over a decade of animal care experience from working as a pet sitter, dog trainer at Petco and Karma Dog Training, and also a Vet tech at Saugus Animal Hospital. Dogs especially are my passion and I will take care of your fur babies like my own :) I am fairly flexible as I only work part time. I am also usually available weekends and holidays for petsitting. I enjoy doing regular walks throughout the week also. I have a secure, fenced yard equipped with Ring cameras. I have extra crates as well if needed, and plenty of cozy dog beds, furniture.

We were felt assured that we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about Mochi. She only takes one dog at a time which is what we looked for so our Mochi had all the attention. And she definitely had! Lol. She sent us pictures and videos of Mochi while we’re gone that made our hearts full. We’ll definitely book her again next time!”
“Moya is amazing. I cannot recommend her high enough. I have an older dog so am always very careful with where I place him and she immediately put my worries to ease. Great communication before, during, and after. Family environment which was perfect for my dog. It felt more like an extension of my own care for my dog than trying to fit him into a different environment. Thank you Moya!!”
“Dusty seemed super happy and comfortable during his stay with Aimee and Derek! They were super friendly, accommodating, and kind. I’m so glad I found them because I hope to have Dusty stay with them again and again in the future if they’ll have him. Don’t hesitate to book with them-your pup will be in great hands!”
