“Miley had a great time, was well fed, and beloved by Andrea and her family. I will be using her again and already recommended her to a friend! Thanks Andrea!”
“Junho might be the best sitter in the North Cambridge area. When it comes to caring for your dog, the most important aspect is genuine love and care. You can tell that your dog is having a blast by checking the constant photos and live updates from Junho. As you can see from those photos, it's easy to tell how much love my dog was given during this stay. Furthermore, Junho was really flexible in fitting my schedule, which was out of the ordinary due to having a baby. If you need someone to take care of your dog, it's Junho”
“I haven’t used Rover in awhile as I started traveling with my pug Captain...but for a recent quick trip I decided it was worth it. I saw Ben’s profile and thought he seemed like a great fit to watch Captain. Ben and his girlfriend loved watching Captain and raved about their time with him. I could tell Captain also enjoyed himself! Ben was also very responsive and accommodated my schedule for pick up/drop off. I’d definitely use Ben as our dog sitter for our next trip!”
“Lyn watched Jack for 5 nights, it was his first time staying with her. Lyn was very professional, flexible, and caring! She was easy to communicate with and I received daily updates and pictures from her. Jack seemed to have a good time with her, I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
“Emily and Rob are wonderful people and provided a warm and loving home for our goldendoodle Homer. They were very accommodating as my wife and I had a challenging and ever-changing schedule prior to picking up Homer. We highly recommended them!”
“Kat is always an incredible sitter but went above and beyond during this visit! Due to a door lock snafu she had difficulty gaining access to my apartment and I was on a 12 hour flight rendering it impossible for me to help or respond to her messages. She had the perseverance to go to my building twice and contact management with proof of our Rover agreement in order to make sure my baby girl did not end up stuck overnight alone. We can't thank her enough for being so proactive and wonderful! Every time I leave my girl in her care I feel so confident she'll be well taken care of.”
“Hyesoo and her husband were such kind and caring hosts for our Maltipoo! They were extremely accommodating and took picture updates that really delighted us and let us know he was in good hands. I can see why she has 51 5-star reviews!!!! Thank you Hyesoo!”
“Alex is the best! My dog has been sick and Alex took good care of her and was attentive. My dog was on meds & she made sure she took her pills. Strongly recommend Alex!”
“Lynne is a life saver! I had an emergency trip away and needed someone to care for my border collie, Zappa. Lynne responded promptly and made herself available to watch Zap on very short notice. Suffice to say, Zappa had a wonderful time w/Lynne -- and I have the photos to prove it!”
“Had an amazing experience with Alesia! She sent me updates and pictures every couple of hours and also reached out immediately when there were questions. She also took my dog out for multiple walks when he was refusing to pee. We have a longer stay booked with her and I have peace of mind knowing that my dog will be with her.”
“Yesika is so great with our Dougie! She’s always super communicative, takes very good care of Doug, and treats him like her own - can’t recommend her enough!”
“Carlos and Nina were awesome! Super communicative and friendly. Great hosts for our little dude. Will certainly return to them when in the are”
“Natasha is a wonderful person, so calm and organized. Our meet & greet with her went so well, and I was at ease leaving our dog with her while we traveled! While we were out, she provided regular updates and photos, which was so nice. Our dog was happy and relaxed during her stay with Natasha, even though it was her first time away from home! Thank you so much, Natasha! ❤️”
“Eddie, the dog, always loves hanging with JP and family. He and Indy have a blast, and I’m always thrilled about JP’s good care of Eddie. I highly recommend!”
“Michelle always takes excellent care of my girl, Gertie. She is responsive, provides regular updates, and is the kind of auntie every pup hopes to have. Gertie can't wait for her next sleepover there!”
“Loveliest couple and some real dog pros. They were so good with my pup and shared tons of photos while we were away. We absolutely use them again and again.”
“Andrea was fantastic! She treated our dog as though he was her own. Our dog also got along so well with her sweet dog, Nikki. I think our dog was genuinely sad to come home. We will without a doubt use her again!”
“Melodi is amazing! 2nd time we leave Ron with her and he could not have had a better time. She does not only take care of him amazingly well but also keeps us updated and sends a ton of pictures, which we appreciate! Melodi is definitely our go-to person whenever we need to leave Ron do to travel or work!”

“Jordan was great. No issues whatsoever with my diabetic cat’s insulin injections. She was thorough and clean. Will definitely book Jordan again.”
“Julie was wonderful with my pets! I have two blind cats, who are still being introduced to each other, so it's not a simple visit, and I couldn't be more pleased with Julie's care. She was proactive about asking questions regarding their care that I hadn't specified in my instructions and really went the extra mile to help out. I highly recommend!”
“Alexa was an amazing sitter, and Im so grateful to have found her! I was in a bind when my previous sitter dropped out of contact, but Alexa was prompt and courteous about stepping in. She followed all my requests and was an amazing communicator, providing me with regular updates and images. My cats were well taken care of and loved, giving me peace of mind while traveling. They really took to her and when I got home, they had clearly been cared for. They were happy to see me, but not frantic & settled very quickly into "oh, you're back. Cool." Which tells me they were happy in my absence.”
“Mintra was wonderful with my cat while I was away. She left detailed daily report cards with plenty of pictures, had great communication and put me at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. Would book again!”
“Nick was great and provided us with lots of updates & pics! Had a delay on a littler shipment and he picked some up for us which was much appreciated!! Will use again.”
“This was our first time leaving Lilou, and Meghan made the experience so easy and reassuring. Communication was smooth, she was always on time, and very reliable. After just a couple of days, she built trust with my furry one, which meant a lot to me. I truly appreciate her support, kindness, and understanding of how important this is. Thank you again!”
“Amanda took such good care of our kitty and home while we were away! She was super thorough, gave great updates and I could tell Maxine warmed up to her right away. 🩷 Our place was in great shape when we returned and our girl seemed very happy. Thank you again!”
“Sabina was very reliable and honest. She was also wonderful with my cat, who is a shy old lady usually nervous around strangers. Voodoo bonded with Sabina from Day One! In fact, when Sabina left after a drop-in visit, I heard Voodoo whimpering at the front door, sad to see her new friend leave. I recommend Sabina highly!”
“My cat loves Maegan! I have had her take care of my cat multiple times, and I’m so pleased with care and connection she has with him. I highly recommend having Maegan care for all your fur babies 😻”
“Sara was fantastic! Our old man cat clearly felt comfortable around her from the first meet and greet, and she kept us updated with amazing photos and details, going above and beyond to play with him and brush him in addition to the basic necessities, which was so nice!”
“Roselle has watched my cat Spooks twice now and she takes such great care of her! My cat is super high energy and Roselle takes the time to get out her zoomies and give her back scratches. Highly recommend!”
“Aash was incredible with Linus! She was attentive, flexible in her schedule, thoughtful in her questions about his care, and sent the best pictures! Linus seemed to love her and he was SO well groomed when we came back. His coat was knot free and his eyes were clean (as a squished faced cat his grooming is quite high maintence). She also left the house super clean. Thank you again!!”

“Shuhua took great care of my high energy border collie Jasper! She got him a lot of exercise and had great communication. Can’t recommend her enough”
“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”
“Andrew & Ellen were great! They took great care of our dog and kept us updated. Kuzi also LOVED playing with their pup Mango and came home every day very tired.”
“Very warm and kind sitter. She sent me lots of updates throughout the day, and made my dog feel very comfortable despite her high anxiety. I felt 100 percent at ease knowing Daisy was well cared for!”
“If I could leave 10 stars, I would. Greta was absolutely AMAZING. Great communication, and an extremely happy pup when I picked her up. Thank you so much Greta for taking care of my Gracie as if she were your own.”
“This is Scout's second time at Jacqueline's for doggy daycare. She and Harley do an amazing job looking after Scout. Highly recommend her, she treats your dog as if it were her own.”
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”
“Tara was great!! Georgia had a great time and I received plenty of pictures which was awesome :) I would love love to leave Georgia with Tara again!”
“Ismael and his wife are so amazing with Felix. My pup literally jumps into their arms when he sees them, such a great feeling! He comes home tired which is also a nice perk 😊”
“Masiel was able to accommodate us for a very last minute daycare request which we couldn’t be more grateful for. She was very kind and attentive to detail. Khloe took to her immediately. She honored all of our requests regarding Khloe’s care and we received pictures and updates throughout the day. Khloe seemed to enjoy her time with Masiel very much and even got a super cute toy to bring home. We will definitely rebook with Masiel next time we’re in Boston.”
“Karina is great! My dog Kobi is pretty nervous and timid around strangers and deals with separation anxiety too but Karina did a great job looking after him and I’m glad he made a friend with Luka too!”
“So grateful for Lauren for talking amazing care of Arlo for us! Quick response for a last minute booking for daycare and Arlo had a great time! Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Andrea was excellent. I arrived at her home and she invited me in. She has a kind, warm, and calming presence that I and my puppy appreciated very much. She made sure my little girl, who is only 2 months, had ample potty breaks and lots of love. I’d recommend highly and will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you Andrea from Tula and me!”
“Our pup was in a daycare with Tiffany and Steve for a little less than 6 hours, and he seemed to have had a very comfortable time with them. Tiffany and Steve were very prompt with their responses, sent us a lot of updates and pictures even in the few hours he was with them, and a detailed rover card at the end of the stay. As first time clients of theirs, they showed us the entire space where they stay with the dogs and the other dogs our pup would be playing with during his visit. They also were super flexible about his pick up and drop off times and were very eager to keep to our pup's daily schedule and meal times. I would happily board my dog with Tiffany and Steve again! Thanks guys :)”

About: I have helped take care of my parents' dogs since I was a kid. While I don’t have any pets of my own (yet!) I love to be around them. I am comfortable with watching a few dogs at a time, and even walking more than one at a time since my parents have 4 large dogs. I am also very comfortable with puppies, including potty and other training, having helped train 5 of my parents' dogs. I have watched other peoples’ dogs, and I know what questions I need to ask to get an idea of how to care for them well. I have experience caring for very young puppies, senior dogs, and dogs in heat. I've been missing the time with my family dogs and would be honored to spend time with yours! I’m currently between jobs having just finished graduate school so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I know the importance of routine for our furry friends and am looking for some of that for myself right now too! I will likely ask many questions when we first meet in order to make sure I know everything I need to care for your beloved pet properly. I love to send updates and photos to keep you in the loop and make you feel comfortable knowing your pups are well taken care of!
“Nicholas was great with our very energetic, high-maintenance pup! He was very accommodating to a last minute request and I could tell Hazel was tired out after their walks together!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. In addition to growing up with family dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and neighbors and worked as a dog walker during college. I’m dependable, attentive to details, and comfortable following routines and special care instructions. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved!! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I have full availability for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and last-minute bookings. I don’t have any scheduling limitations right now and am happy to work around your pet’s routine to provide reliable, consistent care whenever you need it!! I’m a respectful, dependable house sitter who will treat your home with the same care as my own. I’ll keep your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine while giving you peace of mind that both your home and pet are in good hands!
“Great having a meet and greet, appreciated her hard work in getting into the building when the concierge wasn’t around. Masiel is very responsive and flexible and the dogs loved walking with her! Loved getting photos of their walk together.”
About: I've loved caring for animals ever since I got my first Husky when I was just two years old. Over the years, I've looked after many cats and dogs of all sizes, and I have experience with pets of all ages, including those who need special health care. I really enjoy taking long walks, playing fun games, and giving gentle grooming. I'm also comfortable helping with medication when needed. Currently I work part time as a bakery manager and have a flexible schedule. I am available most mornings and afternoons and all day Sunday-Tuesday. I am dedicated to adhering to the routine you have established for your pet. I am comfortable traveling to different locations and will keep in close contact with you. I will do everything possible to ensure your pet receives the best care.

One of my dogs has reactivity and leash aggression, and Laura did a great job managing his needs and caring for him. Laura is a great communicator and sent great pictures. I would happily use her for dog walks again.”

She was meant to stay with them for 5 days and go to a friend of mines house for the rest of my trip but she got sick on her first day with my friend. Dana and Nia happily took her back the next day and got her back to normal health. They knew exactly how to handle the situation and were very chill about it. Rosie had a great time with them, in their yard and on adventures outside of their house. 100% recommend Dana and Nia!”
