“Our elder dog spent the weekend with Ashley, her husband and their dog. They did a great job caring for him. They were responsive to his medical needs and very communicative with us. We will definitely use them to sit for us again.”
“Yvonne and her family are just wonderful caretakers! Communication is awesome and the warm loving spirit is just what we are looking for. My dog is so happy to arrive and I can tell he wants to bring them home with us.”
“Liza took excellent care of our dog while we were out of the country for a week. She is a great communicator, super easy to work with, and a warm and loving caregiver. Highly recommend!”
“It seemed like our dog had a great time with Jane and we loved getting the daily picture updates and notes about what they did each day! Will definitely book with Jane again!”
“Francois took care of our senior dog recently we would highly recommend him . He communicated with us every day with text & pictures. Our dog being on the elderly side is very set in his ways & Francois took all his special needs into account. We returned home to a happy and relaxed dog.”
“Alison was responsive and thoughtful. She agreed to sit our utterly over-exuberant 14-month-old black Lab and we were so concerned that Alison’s family would be overwhelmed. Instead, she sent encouraging notes and exercised our dog extensively, so that she returned home relaxed. We really could not have asked for a better situation. Great people, a terrific fenced back yard, and good communication. Hard to beat that.”
“Angelina went above and beyond every single day, sending me regular updates, photos, and little notes that made me smile and reassured us that everything was going smoothly. Coming home, I could tell my dog had been not only well taken care of but genuinely loved. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust. Thank you, Angelina!”
“Michelle was awesome! She would constantly give us updates while she watched our dog Ginger with pictures and texts. Ginger was so happy while she was in Michelle’s care. We are so grateful she was able to watch her and 10/10 would do again! Thank you again Michelle! :D”
“Finley was fantastic! They provided regular updates on Atlas and we got lots of photos. Atlas didn’t want to leave their house when it was time to go. Would highly recommend Finley!”
“Kate and her family took great care of Leo. This was our first time using Rover and it was a success. He came home happy and tired. She was very easy to communicate with and made us feel that he was in good hands. Thank you for a great stay!”
“My dog Miko seems to have enjoyed his stay at Sara's place. He came back all relaxed, complete opposite experience of leaving him in a pet hotel where he came back agitated for many days. Sara's place is perfect with a big fenced garden so he could play freely with her dog and others. I can only recommend her.”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Robert and his family were so great! We appreciated the pictures sent to us everyday. Our Martha came back healthy and happy. We will definitely use them again in the future next time we go away.”

About: I've helped to take care of 6 dogs through their entire lifespan, from puppyhood to their golden years, loving every second of the way! I have also been hired by neighbors to watch after cats and fish while they were away on longer trips. I worked briefly as a dog daycare attendant, but now work as a writer at home, and am thrilled by the opportunity to help you care for your wonderful furry family. Pet care is my main priority throughout the week and weekends, and I write in the mornings and evenings. However I can be of assistance, I will! I have my own dog, Luna, a 35 pound mixed-breed rescue, and I treat her like family, because she is family! I would be honored to discuss how you care for your pets, and what I can do to make them feel at home as I help look after them.
About: I've cared for dogs since I was young, with over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience. Friends and neighbors often trust me to walk, feed, and look after their dogs. At home, I'm the proud owner of a mini poodle, so I understand the daily needs, routines and personalities of small breeds. I'm patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always attentive to each pet's comfort and safety. Also I love running and often take dogs with me for safe, fun jogs, which keeps them happy and healthy. I care for my own mini poodle every day, so pet care is already a part of my daily routine. This makes it easy and natural for me to care other dogs at the same time. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I live in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood that's very safe for daily walk. Our home is just a short walk from Nara Park and Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. My friendly mini poodle helps new pups feel welcome, and I always supervise playtime to make sure every dog feels secure and cared for.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with senior cats who require daily medication, patience, and gentle attention. I’m very attentive to each cat’s needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also take pride in keeping litter boxes, feeding areas, and pet spaces clean and tidy. I can’t wait to meet your lovely kitties!
“Seamus helped me out totally last-minute and was a perfect caretaker for my two cats. Seamus was not phased by Zola, my standoffish cat, and noted "Zola sightings!" And he noted that my furry 17-lb, Squirrel reminded him of his cat. I highly recommend Seamus! So do my cats!”

About: Six years of cuddles, walks, and playtime have made me a true pet enthusiast! I know how much pets enrich our lives, and I'm eager to share that love with your furry friend. I'm experienced in providing engaging activities and creating a fun, safe environment for your pet to thrive. I work from home and can fit in schedules during the week. I have a unfixed, male Beagle, Leo - who is a sweetheart and is very calm and mingles well with to other dogs. He mostly loves to laze around once he's had his fill. I have an enclosed sun room for the pet to relax and bask in the sun. The neighbourhood is very calm, safe and pet friendly.
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life, and had one of my own up until recently. I live with my parents and teenage sister and having dogs in our lives has brought us so much joy! We will treat and care for your dog like they are part of our family. I am very reliable and responsible and have transportation to pick-up/drop-off your dog if needed. I would love to care for your pet! I work entirely from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am available all days of the week. I have time to take your pup on multiple walks throughout the day and to play! I have a huge yard for lots of playing and running around as well as a recreational path very close by. I love swimming, hiking, and going on longer walks. My house is spacious and has lots of toys.
“Barry was excellent and he took care of Meshki well beyond the expectations. Every night Meshki came back home exhausted from all the walk and fun time he had with Barry and his dog. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you for everything you did for Meshki.”
“Kaylee was very communicative and took great care of our pup! She made sure our girl got exercise and mental stimulation, and she sent various pictures during the visit. Our pup was smiling in all of them, so we knew she had a great time! I would recommend Kaylee to others and would certainly have her watch our pup again.”
“Merry was wonderful with our Jackson! She was kind, responsive, and very friendly. The icing on the cake were her two sweet and adorable dogs :) We look forward to trusting her with our dog again in the future!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 10. They bring me so much joy. I have owned many dogs for over 30 years, all breeds. We have a large fenced in yard and we go on many walks throughout the day. I am home full-time. We have a golden retriever named Bear and chocolate lab named Moose who add energy, fun and lots of snuggles to our home. I owned a successful dog boarding business in our home for over ten years, with many repeat furry clients. I have cared for everything from Great Danes to Jack Russell Terriers and love them all. I am home full-time and am present with dogs and caring for their needs. Would love to meet your pup! I am flexible for drop off and pick ups. I have a large fenced in yard and the dogs can go out as often as they like. They are welcome on the furniture and i have many dog beds. I go on several long walks a day for those who enjoy getting out!
About: I’ve lived in a home with dogs my entire life. Currently I am the dog mom to a 5 year old goldendoodle and have volunteered at a local rescue who takes in both dogs and cats once a month for the past 3 years. These experiences have thought me management and training techniques for different dog temperaments, ages and medical needs. Recently completed AniMatch Canine Body Language and Behavior Observation Training educational course, have taken a canine CPR course and worked with my own dog on reactivity training. I work a full time remote marketing job. This gives me the ability to have time in the mornings, and evenings to do dog walks and pet drop ins when needed. I have limited lunch time availability at this time and am not able to take on any reoccurring weekly bookings. Client communication is key and I will make sure to connect with you on details of your pet before a visit, send updates and make sure things go as usual as normal.
“Xiaoxue was great at helping my anxious dog get acclimated and settle in her home. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of updates with photos. I highly recommend.”
“Theresa H is such a lovely lady and Dixie immediately warmed to her calm nature. Great backyard and Dixie had a lovely time, including a walk with a full belly coming home. Thankyou!”
“Kaitlyn’s care of Toby was excellent. It was clear from his behavior that he really had a great time. Kaitlin was very professional in all communications. She gave Toby a great hike. I should also give some credit to her delightful labrador, who was an easy companion for Toby. I will definitely contact Kaitlin again.”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since the day I was born! I grew up with a mini poodle named Whoopi (named after my fav actor, Whoopi Goldberg, of course!) and an adorably feisty orange cat named Rainbow. I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I can meet all pet care needs. My house has a partially fenced backyard and lots of beautiful local trails for taking long walks. I’m an endurance athlete so you can count on me to go the distance to take good care of your fur child(ren). I have space to crate dogs in my home, if needed, and they are welcome on my couch. My kids are 13 and 8 and my 3 year old cat Taco is friendly. I look forward to meeting your fur baby (and you) soon! My communication style is clear and straightforward. You can count on me to diligently care for your fur baby! When you get them back, you’ll be thrilled about how well-cared for and happy they are.
“Kona had a wonderful time at Joanne's and she came home completely exhausted! Joanna kept in contact with us all day sending pictures and even videos! Will be using her next time we need a place for Kona to stay!”
About: I've taken care of many dogs for friends and family. I enjoy large dogs, training young pets, and playing outside. Looking forward to hearing from you. I'm currently full time remote from home, so I will have plenty of time to be with your pet! Many times when it is nice, I will sit outside in the backyard and work while the dogs play and explore. I have a new 6 foot fenced in yard with a spacious backyard to run around in. My two dogs are friendly and ready make new friends.
“Finn has been loving his days with Likun! Her dog loves to run and play as well, so it’s a great match! Finn gets outside time, walks, and naps during his stay and always comes home tired and happy. Thank you Likun!!”

About: Adopting Benny, our now 6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of our lives. He came to us as a rescue, full of potential but also in need of patience, consistency, and care. Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, energy, and sensitivity—and Benny is no exception. From daily walks and mental stimulation to routine training and lots of affection, caring for him has been a constant, joyful commitment. He thrives on structure and attention, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow more confident and connected as the years go by. Benny has taught us so much about resilience, communication, and the powerful bond that forms between a pet and their family. He’s not just a pet—he’s truly part of our family. Pet care is a daily routine for me. I'm the one who feeds, brushes, spends time with Benny and walks him on a daily basis. I provide nothing but the best for Benny. He gets toppers on his food, supplements, daily attention and walks. I'am trustworthy, reliable and will treat your animals as if they were my own.
About: I've had dogs my entire life! I've grown up a HUGE animal lover and have often cared for my friends' dogs, cats, and other pets since I was younger. In addition, I am a volunteer with Hotel For Homeless Dogs in Providence, RI, and during the school year, I volunteer there weekly. I have experience with animals of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs! I promise to show your fur babies so much love and care, and to always treat them like my own. I currently have a part time job. This gives me a lot of flexibility and free time in my schedule. I am available most days of the week and on occasion the weekends. I will pay close attention to any and all needs of your dogs! Let me know and I will make sure to do it. I can easily crate your dog, feed/walk them at specific times, give them medicine, etc if needed.
“Emily is a fantastic, wonderfully caring dog walker / pet care taker. We use her services for daily weekday walks for both of our dogs which have very different needs ( a 14 yr old golden doodle with mobility issues and a 10 yr old lab that still thinks she's 3 yr old spring chicken). She has also house sat over a navigation for us so that they didn't have to go into a kennel. She is trustworthy, communicative and extremely kind. You'd be fortunate to have her services.”
About: I love animals and have two dogs of my own! I am very enthusiastic and have experience with skittish and nervous dogs and cats as well as puppies. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a college student working a part time summer job so I have plenty of time to fill with caring for and playing with your pets! I am passionate about ensuring that animals feel safe in their homes while I am there, that they have fun and get exercise, that they are well cared for, and that they get all the cuddles they want -and none if they don’t ;)
About: Hi! I'm a fourth year medical student currently staying with my parents in Acton, MA! Currently I have an 96lb great dane mix,Brewster, and an orange cat, Cheddar (and YES--they are best friends). My partner and I got our dog at 6 weeks and I house trained my parent's golden when I was home from college one summer. I also grew up with cats + dogs and as the oldest child of three I was expected to help care for them so love and appreciation for animals is second nature to me! While in graduate school I fostered cats and kittens, often times with health issues. I am a current medical student at DUCOM. I'm available in the evenings during the weekdays and anytime over the weekend to check in on your pets! I am available for at home stop-in/ check up services for cats and dogs. I don't trust just anyone to care for my pets and I promise to care for your pets as if they were my own. As a life-long pet owner I know what weird behavior looks like for both cats and dogs. I will not hesitate to contact you if something doesn't feel right because that is what I would want someone to do if they were watching my pets.
About: I have grown up with Cats and Dogs and have always had at least one in my house as an adult. I owned a Chihuahua that was not very nice to strangers, so I have also had my fair share of difficult moments with my dog as well. I am a huge cat lover, so send me all the kitties for care!!!! I am a school teacher with young teen children, so during the week in the Summer we are happy to help with your pet care needs. Weekends can be tough because we have sports tournaments, but ask because we have a few that we do not. I have 2 very friendly cats, but to be safe I am not sure how they will be around other animals. I am happy to care for your furry friends in your house and yard.
“Our dogs were in great hands with Rachel walking them! Communication was easy and we appreciated her flexibility with minor adjustments to the schedule. Our dogs look forward to seeing her again!”
About: From the moment I wake up, pet care is my top priority. Mornings begin with fresh water, clean bowls, nutritious meals, and outdoor time. Your pet will have constant care and companionship and will feel right at home with room to roam - and someone by their side all day. I will treat your pet as if it were my own with respect, care, trust. ask me any questions! thank you ! i always respond! I work remote and my girlfriend who also is a sitter on rover works remote 3 days a week, so your dog will never be alone or unattended. Always being cared for as they would be at their own home! Safety is most important for me. House has a fully fenced in yard, gates inside for feeding time, automatic poland spring dog bowl feeder to keep everyone hydrated. No excess or not recommended food to keep dogs from feeling ill. Leashed outside of house on walks.
About: I have been a pet lover and caretaker my entire life, growing up with dogs, cats, and reptiles, and helping out with my neighbor's farm animals. I have three years experience dog-walking, and another two years experience volunteering at a local animal shelter. I have cared for animals of all stripes (and spots), with various temperaments, activity levels, ages, and medical needs. I work from home Tuesday-Thursday with plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and attention! My weekends are also open. I take pet care very seriously, and will devote the time and attention your fuzzy baby needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I have a car and can do pick ups before 11:00 AM and drop off after 7:00 PM. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with lots of parks and sidewalks for outdoor time. My kitten grew up with other animals before adoption and will welcome all creatures big and small.
About: I got my first dog when I was 10. She was a puppy when I got her and was the love of my life. She taught me responsibility, patience, love, gentleness, and kindness. In my adulthood I fostered a sweet dog for two years before I had my children. Now I’m a single mom who is looking to help care for your dog during the times my children are not with me. I’m a single mom on a parenting schedule. I would care for your pet on the weekends my children are with their dad. During that time I would be readily available and have a lot of flexibility. I can easily come to your home and care for your pet as requested. I live in a single family home with a walking trail across the street. No fenced yard.

“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”
