“Where do we begin...this was a hard choice when trying to find someone to watch our fur baby for 6 days. He got to know Barb and a visit to her home for a meet and great. Then another visit for half a day. He was in heaven. Barb sent photos throughout the day. He was in a good mood and not anxious at all. Then we left TicTac in her care for 6 days. So many pictures came to us. He definitely has made new friends and was cared for so well. I highly recommend Barb 🌟”
“Oana and Oliver were absolutely amazing and we are so appreciative that they took such wonderful care of our Frenchie, Indi! This was the first time we were leaving Indi with someone other than friends or family and were a bit tentative of the thought of it. However, Oana and Oliver were so thorough and dedicated to knowing her routine and health issues that they put us entirely at ease. Indi had an absolute blast with them during her long weekend stay and they kept us updated by sending a ton of pictures of her, which was so appreciated. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the care that Oana and Oliver put into keeping your furry friend safe and sound. We would absolutely recommend them and will certainly be using them in the future to look after Indi!”
“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”
“Zelun took fantastic care of our dog for over a week during Thanksgiving! Our dog usually takes a few days to perk up and get used to her new situation, but she settled in after the first night! Zelun sent daily pictures and videos from walks and afternoon sun naps, and our dog looked sooooo happy in every picture. Would 10/10 recommend.”
“Liz & Rodrigo are incredible people, with an incredible family full of love to give! We were a bit nervous having someone board our newly adopted rescue Beagle, but they did an amazing job! They sent so many updates and photos while I was gone, I never once had to worry how they were doing! They were both accommodating of both our pup’s needs and I can tell our pups would love to go back whenever we need a sitter!”
“Betsy was a great sitter - very thorough and careful in getting to know my dog’s preferences and letting him see her very nice home and yard! Easy to communicate with and my pup seemed super happy :)”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.
“Jordan was absolutely fantastic! She treated Addie like she was her own! We were so happy that we booked our next boarding the same day we picked Addie up from this one!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!”
“Kate instantly made myself and Louie feel welcome and comfortable for his weekend stay! She sent me pictures and updates each day and I could tell Louie was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. I will definitely book her for future stays and highly recommend her!”
“Guillermo took care of our dog Amos for nine days. He was an exceptional care provider. He went above and beyond taking Amos to the vet, giving his prescribed medication and even returning to the vet for a refill. Amos had plenty of walks. We received many pictures of Amos which my family really enjoyed. I would definitely re-book with Guillermo.”
“My dog had an excellent time with Kaisi. Kaisi sent lots of pictures of her dog and mine at the dog park, walking in fresh pond, looking so relaxed and happy. Thanks Kaisi!”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“I'm writing this review with gratitude as my heart is full. I booked a 16-day boarding for our dog, Pumpkin, with March recently. Our first meet and greet went well and we had two-30 min walks together within a few weeks to get Pumpkin familiar with March and the trails nearby. March sent me daily pictures of Pumpkin's activities, including walks and exploring around the house and his favorite spot, the kitchen! March treated Pumpkin like his own dog, and as part of his family, the same way we treat Pumpkin. He bought a dog bed from Cosco for Pumpkin as I didn't have the right kind. March also let Pumpkin went on his bed and sofas to watch TV with him. I think Pumpkin had a fantastic vacation at March's home! I highly recommend March for anyone looking for a dog-loving person with a sense of humor and pays a lot of attention to details.”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“When we picked up our pup, you could tell her really enjoyed his time with Yulia and her family. He was happy to see us, but I'm pretty sure he would have been equally happy to stay with them. We will certainly be using Yulia's services again in the future.”
“Todd was awesome! Very communicative and attentive, and clearly seemed to provide a great environment for Beau to stay. He came home clearly taken care of, calm, and happy.”
“Francois is exceedingly kind and good about checking in and letting me know how Sadie’s doing, always with a sweet photo. I know she is in highly competent and caring hands.”

“Charlotte was amazing! She took such great care of our kitties while we were away. We loved her photos and daily updates. She was super easy to communicate with and our nervous cat loved her! I highly recommend Charlotte and will definitely hire her again!”
“Caroline was very friendly. She did a great job taking care of our cat Leo while we were away. Would highly recommend and rebook with her again the next time we go away! Thank you Caroline”
“I travel a lot for work and I have booked Jessica several times to take care of my cat while I’m away. She is very communicative and provides great updates so I know my cat is in good hands. Murphy loves her. Thank you Jessica!”
“Shawn dropped in to take care of our two cats multiple days during our long vacation. It was a huge relief knowing they were in good hands and getting photos each day. She followed our detailed feeding instructions that involved wet food with medication mixed in, and measuring out dry food on a scale. She also gave us detailed updates on their behavior and it was clear she really cared about their comfort and mood while we were gone. Thank you Shawn, would definitely book again!”
“My cats love Alyssa! She is attentive to their varying needs: playing with them, giving them treats, petting them on the floor. I really appreciate her photo updates and how she tells me when food/litter is running low, so that my cats always have what they need.”
“Bonnie took excellent care of my cat. She provided detailed updates, which I appreciated even though I wasn’t always able to respond quickly because of the time difference. She also sent adorable pictures. She played with my cat and even brought her a new toy. She even cleaned (not just scooped) the litter box and replaced the litter, which I really appreciate.”
“We’ve been searching for a new cat sitter since our most recent sitter moved away. Anneke has perfectly filled that role. I feel incredibly lucky to have met her on the first try as I would confidently reach out to her again for help with drop-ins for our 3 cats. Anneke took care of my 3 cats (1 diabetic on insulin, 1 FIV+, and 1 very timid cat) with twice a day drop-ins for 1 week. She was easy to work with from the moment I reached out to her. We made sure to have a meet and greet about 1 week ahead of the reservation. Anneke asked important questions that showed she was familiar with administering insulin, absorbed an incredible amount of info about 3 cats in ~30 mins, and it was clear that she’s had extensive experience with cats, which is hard to come by on a dog-centric app like Rover. Even though she travelled by bike and bus from Arlington to N. Cambridge, she was always reliably on time and never once needed to adjust any one of the 14 drop-ins. She was quick to pick up on how to adjust Theodore’s insulin based on the amount of food consumed and quickly learned each cat’s personalities. She alerted me to an unusually warm apartment (78F in March) and followed my instructions to leave the window open at the next visit without issue. Anneke communicated just enough with me to notify of important highlights but never so much that I felt anxious. She left our home exactly as it was. We hope to rely on her for future drop-ins! Thank you, Anneke!”
“Will did such a great job taking care of Rza! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with Will from the pictures, which is no simple feat as she can be quite selective! I appreciated the updates and how well Will followed her care instructions.”
“Betsy was terrific. My cat warmed up to quickly and that isn’t usually the case. She went out of her way to play music for my cat who is a pretty sophisticated jazz aficionado! The cat seemed to enjoy it. A very caring person. I would use Betsy’s services again.”
“Meg is awesome! Good and easy communication. She sent me photos and videos and a detailed rover card every time she visited my cat, and it’s clear that my cat loved hanging out with her!”
“Priety is the most amazing cat sitter we’ve had! She’s always our first choice when we need sitting services. She is kind, compassionate and always spends lots of time and attention to our cats’ needs. Thank you so much for your wonderful work!”
“Hillary was so great! Chloë loved her and I felt so reassured knowing she was well-cared for. Hillary spent quality time with Chloë and sent lovely, detailed notes and photos. Highly recommend!”
“Sharon did a fantastic job cat sitting for our cat when we were out of town for about 10 days. She stopped by around the same time each day and was very reliable in feeding our cat, playing with him, changing his litter, topping off his water as needed, petting him, and making sure he had cat toys to keep him entertained (our cat loves mental stimulation!). Sharon also sent a cute picture of him each day (which we loved to get and brought a smile to our faces). She was also kind enough to bring in packages that arrived there we were unable to have held, which we appreciated greatly. She is a dependable and experienced cat sitter whom we would recommend to others too!”
“Cynthia did a great job taking care of my elderly cat Simon while I was away. He has some specific diet and medication things, and she made sure he was well taken care of. She communicated every day and I knew he was in good hands!”
“Blane was super organized— reached out in advance to come meet the kitties and see the house. The updates we got were so full of love and we 100% knew the cats were in good hands. It was also very easy to ask for a few extra things like making sure the AC was on and the windows were closed when the weather changed. Thanks so much!! We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“Julia was fantastic! We spent a weekend away for our wedding and didn’t have to worry one bit about the cats while we were gone. Her reports were thorough and we came back to a clean home and happy cats!”

“Janette and her family, including their dog Luna, are so wonderful to our dog, Lenny. She is so kind and communicative! Lenny loves spending time with them and going for walks in their beautiful neighborhood. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog!”
“Sophie had a great day with Andrew! She had a few nature walks that I can never give her. She loved her day away from home. Andrew is excellent to work with and incredibly professional. He was consistently quick to respond and sent lots of pictures of their day together. Andrew had Sophie this summer for a long weekend and Sophie returned home happy as could be! It's as though she was with family. Thanks, Andrew, for making her days so enjoyable!”
“Cardinal had so much fun at his small-dog play date!! I appreciated that Betsy took time for a thoughtful meet and greet so that I was sure he would feel comfortable! I was very happy that he could enjoy time outside of his crate with other dogs in a warm and caring environment! Will definitely book again!!”
“A truly 5 star experience. Cameron was easy to communicate with and work with. Just off vibe alone I knew my dog was in good hands when he was picked up. Throughout the day I was consistently updated with photos and videos of my dog out and about. I highly highly recommend Cameron to anyone in need of a dog-sitter. Next time I’m in Boston I will 100% be reaching out to him first. Finn will miss Cameron and Rosie a ton!!! 5 stars!!”
“Oana and Oliver are wonderful dog sitters!! They are kind, easy going, and always send the best pictures! We had an extenuating circumstance with our trip and they were completely accommodating and understanding. I highly recommend them for all doggy daycare and sitting needs!!”
“Lexi took great care of Emmy during her daycare visit! She was very attentive to Emmy’s needs and made sure she felt comfortable and happy throughout the day. We appreciated all of the updates Lexi sent us during the visit!”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo were great with Oscar. They were flexible when I needed to shift my drop-off and pickup times, which made my day so much easier. They sent a few photos throughout the day too, which I always love getting. Oscar came home tired and happy, so he clearly had a good time. Would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thanks you two!”
“We appreciated Paul’s help with a last minute request to watch our pup for two days over MLK weekend. He was patient with Gracie, as she was getting used to being in a new person’s house.”
“August was such a great babysitter for our dog Honey. We really appreciate the care she received including walks and treats. She had a great time playing with their dog Miu Miu. We appreciate it very much.”
“Ben and his family took great care of Zelda and were very accommodating of our busy schedule. She came home happy and well exercised from playing with their pups all day. We will definitely book with Ben again!”
“Cheuck was an excellent sitter for our dog Simka. We basically never leave her with someone we don’t know, but he made us comfortable from the beginning and she had a great time. It was fun to see photos and videos throughout her stay.”
“Anna was so patient with our dog Bobby and took amazing care of him! When we picked him up he was calm and ready for a nap - perfect! We will definitely book with Anna again.”
About: Hello! I'm a Health and Nutrition Coach for humans and soon, animals. I'm currently studying animal health and nutrition and am pursuing advanced training and certification as a dog/cat nutritionist. I offer FREE pick up and drop off to Arlington dogs or within a 2 mile radius of my house. I live directly across from the newly opened dog park in Arlington, if that's something you think your dog might enjoy. I offer 1 hr. park visits to those who live nearby (within a 2 mile radius of Parallel Park). You can book a 1 hour visit in the dog walking section. I will pick up your dog, bring them to the park and bring them home. It's a nice place to go if your dog could use a little more exercise and might like to run around with other dogs or play fetch. If the park is too busy or the dogs don't seem like a good fit for your dog, we'll take a long walk along the river path instead. I generally do my coaching from home and walk about 10 dogs a week midday, in which case, I may be out of the house for a few hours M-F. This allows me to give the dogs staying with me lots of attention. I have a 3 year old Frenchton (1/2 French Bulldog, 1/2 Boston Terrier) named Maisy who is well socialized and loves most dogs. I can accommodate housesitting requests that allow Maisy to join me, after we ensure everyone gets on well. I will suggest we do a meet and greet in a neutral location for both housesitting and boarding -- maybe take a walk or let them run around in the park to see how they get along. Boarding can be a little stressful, especially when they first arrive. I always try and meet them where they are to be sure they have whatever time and space they may need to get acclimated to their new environment. I have a private suite for anyone that might like a safe space to themselves. I've used it to host seniors, dogs who have medical challenges as well as shy and senior cats. It's a large space with comfy beds, a big chaise lounge where they can look out the windows and it's bright and cheerful. I often do my morning work in there and will snuggle up with whoever is interested. I'm always interested in your pets quirks--and what I may be able to do to help them get comfortable quickly. I'd be grateful for any *pro tips* you have to ensure we get off to a great start together! I generally take 1-2 dogs at a time so they get lots of attention and I can customize their care. This is not a kennel environment. I do occasionally will take an extra dog here and there over the holidays and busy summer weekends. I included pics of my home in the photo gallery. I have a guest bedroom where dogs can sleep on the bed and stretch out, if they prefer. I have a nice sunroom that is all windows and has a comfy chaise lounge for long afternoon naps. I have a fireplace and love to keep my home calm and cozy on winter evenings. If your dog is crate trained, I have a medium size crate that I can set up for anyone who prefers it. It will hold a dog up to 45 lbs. You can also bring your own. I can only host dogs that get along well with other dogs and have a naturally calm demeanor. I can not take barkers. I live in an active neighborhood with a playground and dog park across the street. There are kids and dogs in and out all day and the dogs in my home can see them from the windows. There is lots of activity, the house's are close together and I have a very quiet upstairs neighbor. I want to respect and protect everyone's peace around me and not cause problems. If your dog sits at the window and barks at everything outside, they will likely be too overstimulated at my place and are probably not a good fit for boarding. I'd be happy to watch them at your house! ABOUT HOUSESITTING: If I am hired to housesit your pets, I'm happy to take care of your plants, water your garden and even feed your chicken's -- it's all included. I will also have Maisy with me, so I can only accommodate dogs/cats that will tolerate her. She is 3 and loves to play, eat and nap. We have housesat a fair amount and she seems to communicate well with other dogs. If they're not into her, she usually gets it after some dog to dog communication and will just leave them be. If they want to play, she will be thrilled to play. She's pretty good at reading the room and she will correct a dog that tries to hump her! I have a flexible schedule. I do most of my coaching from home and walk about 10 dogs a week. I do my best to respond to all requests within an hour until about 9, when I often turn off the tech til morning. If I respond to you and am available, please let me know *either way* whether you are interested. Rover holds the space in our calendar and we often can't accept other booking opportunities until we hear back from you. Thank you! I recommend a meet and greet in advance of me caring for your pet(s). I want to be sure that we are a good fit and the more information I have, the easier and more smoothly things will likely go. If I am caring for a pet in my home or yours, they generally have the run of the place, unless, of course, that would mess up your hard earned training. I take my lead from you and would greatly appreciate clear instructions on caring for your dog or cat to make sure he/she has a great overall experience with me. I generally feed dogs from different families separately regardless of a dogs temperament. I have a "no bones" policy if there are dogs from different families sharing a house together. From lots of experience, I've seen the most sweet, submissive dogs turn into little monsters if another dog attempts to steal their bone or try and eat their food. I work on prevention of those types of behaviors. If you want your dog crated during various times of the day or night, I have crates and can accommodate your dog. If they're not allowed on the beds or furniture, I understand and will keep the same rules. If they like nothing better than snuggling with you on the couch in the evening, that won't change either.
About: I adopted a two-month-old puppy named Sammy eight years ago. My family have been sharing our lives with Sammy ever since with cheering, happiness, and joy. I'm currently working full-time but my time is flexible. My wife and I welcome your pets. We are available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. We are living in a small 2-beds house in Arlington, MA. We have a fenced backyard and one friendly medium size dog named Sammy to keep your dog company.

“Omar was great with our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks during the walks before his sitting stay. He was prompt, professional, and eager to get to know them, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. The dogs responded really well to him, and it was clear he was comfortable, attentive, and trustworthy. We really appreciated him making time on short notice and helping us feel secure before leaving them in his care. Highly recommend!”
“Shawn is wonderful with our girl Apple! She is so kind, patient, and very trustworthy - we all immediately liked her and are so grateful that she can help us with our pup 😊”
“Jessica went above and beyond all expectations! She was great with Sullivan and even brought in a package off of our porch when she dropped sully off. Amazing walker and will definitely book again! ☺️”
About: Spent extensive time caring after my families dogs & cats as well as the pets of my neighborhood. I also look after my friends cats and dogs of Boston and Maine. Comfortable with walking, playing with, feeding, and even some light training with dogs. I don’t have certifications with dog training but I would be happy to reinforce training you do with them for some light commands. I work in sales in a fairly fluid environment. I spend some time at home and the rest of my time around the city and greater Boston. Drop in pet care/walking fits perfectly into my schedule as I can work from my computer and travel when needed. I do have a fenced in yard but I’m not currently accepting pet care in my own home outside of the critters I already have. I may open up to this in the future but I do use a lot of space In my car already.
“Andrew is a patient and dedicated dog walker. Our dog takes some time to warm up to new people but he is friends with Andrew now and looks forward to their walks together. Andrew is also punctual and great at keeping us informed on how Casper’s walks go.”
“Eunae was great! She met Audrey beforehand and made sure she understood Audrey’s needs and personality. She was timely and provided lots of photos which I appreciated!”
“Ashley is absolutely wonderful with my dog Gracie and is very accommodating and flexible. Gracie is quite timid and skittish and Ashley is great with her! Would highly recommend!”
“Our dog can be a bit much with leash reactivity and new changes. We are very pleased with how Kaylor has dealt with Buddy and it seems to be going well. Super grateful for the willingness to work with Buddy!”
“Mary Kate showed up on time, took Winnie for a nice long walk, and even worked through me forgetting to tell her where to find the leash. I would be happy to use her services again!”
About: I have been around animals all my life. Grew up in the rural Midwest surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, in addition to the cows, pigs, chickens, and horses at nearby farms. I love animals and have helped care for them all my life. I am comfortable with all kinds and sizes of dogs and love getting them out on walks/hikes and playing with them, snuggling with them indoors as well. I adore dogs and remain calm, letting them get used to me before trying to engage...letting them set the stage or lead the way. Once I get to know them I am very affectionate with them and love to play and run around with them. I currently live in my own place with my cat and would love to care for your pets in your home. I'm currently between jobs and thought I would get back to pet sitting/walking for now. I love hanging with my furry friends and getting out for brisk walks! I will spend time getting to know your pet, snuggling with them(if they want), getting them outdoors and playing with them, keeping them on their feeding schedule and caring for them like they're my own.
“Laura had an instant rapport with Wyatt--she's clearly very experienced with dogs and loves them, and is an experienced dog trainer as well. She came to our house, fed Wyatt lunch, took him on a long walk and played fetch in the back yard with him. He had a great time and was a happy, content, tired guy when I came home! Communication was very prompt and frequent, I will definitely have her care for Wyatt again.”
“Max was absolutely WONDERFUL with my dog. He did an amazing job taking him for a walk, playing with him with toys, and making sure he had fresh water when he returned from the walk. I would HIGHLY recommend Max to take care of your dog. My dog is very energetic, and Max did an amazing job with him.”
“I could not recommend Hillary enough! She is kind, patient, communicative and takes the best photos of the best adventures 🥰 She is the perfect choice for someone to trust with your pet!”
“This was Ruby’s first time meeting Sabine and there seemed to be an instant bond. Sabine arrived on time and was kind and attentive to Ruby. Took a long walk and sent several photos. Thank you Sabine!”
About: I am a freelance artist by trade, I'm looking to earn some supplementary by putting to good use my love of animals and experience as a lifetime pet owner. I have been the primary caretaker for animals basically my whole life, growing up alongside furry siblings as long as I can reliably remember, including several dogs with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety and jealousy problems. My mother trained as a vet tech and taught me a lot, and is always happy to help even now if I need an extra hand or some expert advice. I have trained dogs, including potty training and dissuading problem behaviors (excessive barking, begging for food, etc.) I have experience caring for dogs in individual, group, and playgroup settings and love all animals. I cannot drive but I can engage in light to moderate dog walking just fine! I use public transport and ridesharing to get around. If you have any further questions about what might be within my wheelhouse feel more than free to ask! As a freelance artist, my schedule for work is fairly flexible and I can plan around pet care time and stays away from home with a lot of freedom, making it possible for me to keep my schedule fluid and make the animal in my care the priority of my routine. I have an apartment in Arlington I spend most of my time at but it's not the best for pets so for boarding jobs I visit and make use of my parents home in Winchester. They and their dog love the company! It has a fenced outdoor area where dogs can easily run, play, and of course go to the bathroom. It is accessible via a basement door and most dogs get the hang of it pretty easily (but I am happy to provide extra help for dogs who struggle with stairs or need other extra accomodations.) It is also home to my parents who love furry guests, and of course Emma, an extremely friendly and patient English Setter who adores playing hostess! I am also of course happy to visit other homes to care for pets, both for drop ins and overnight. I will always take the safety and cleanliness of your home seriously! In other's homes I'm happy to adapt to what resources are available and what areas and routines the dog is generally used to and comfortable with in their own usual environment!

“Michelle & Michael are the ultimate pet sitters for my young dog, Ruby. She clearly receives an abundance of care, love and attention, as her sweet, expressive & energetic personality is in full effect, which only comes out when she is completely comfortable with people. I feel very lucky to have found them, and they are first on my list! Thank you, Michelle & Mike! :)”
“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”
“Zelun took fantastic care of our dog for over a week during Thanksgiving! Our dog usually takes a few days to perk up and get used to her new situation, but she settled in after the first night! Zelun sent daily pictures and videos from walks and afternoon sun naps, and our dog looked sooooo happy in every picture. Would 10/10 recommend.”
“Liz & Rodrigo are incredible people, with an incredible family full of love to give! We were a bit nervous having someone board our newly adopted rescue Beagle, but they did an amazing job! They sent so many updates and photos while I was gone, I never once had to worry how they were doing! They were both accommodating of both our pup’s needs and I can tell our pups would love to go back whenever we need a sitter!”
“Our dog Lincoln had an amazing time with Stefan and his family. I was very nervous to leave him, as we recently moved to Arlington. I shouldn’t have worried at all! Stefan eased my mind by sending me pictures and updating me on what he was doing. After a day, I started thinking that Lincoln was on a vacation! He got love, he played with other dogs, got exercise, and at night was snuggled in bed. His stay exceeded my expectations, and I would leave Lincoln with them anytime. He had a great time. Thank you Stefan and family! I hope Lincoln can come back! ?❤️ And thank you for his little doggie bag!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.
“Jordan was absolutely fantastic! She treated Addie like she was her own! We were so happy that we booked our next boarding the same day we picked Addie up from this one!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!”
“Kate instantly made myself and Louie feel welcome and comfortable for his weekend stay! She sent me pictures and updates each day and I could tell Louie was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. I will definitely book her for future stays and highly recommend her!”
“Guillermo took care of our dog Amos for nine days. He was an exceptional care provider. He went above and beyond taking Amos to the vet, giving his prescribed medication and even returning to the vet for a refill. Amos had plenty of walks. We received many pictures of Amos which my family really enjoyed. I would definitely re-book with Guillermo.”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“I'm writing this review with gratitude as my heart is full. I booked a 16-day boarding for our dog, Pumpkin, with March recently. Our first meet and greet went well and we had two-30 min walks together within a few weeks to get Pumpkin familiar with March and the trails nearby. March sent me daily pictures of Pumpkin's activities, including walks and exploring around the house and his favorite spot, the kitchen! March treated Pumpkin like his own dog, and as part of his family, the same way we treat Pumpkin. He bought a dog bed from Cosco for Pumpkin as I didn't have the right kind. March also let Pumpkin went on his bed and sofas to watch TV with him. I think Pumpkin had a fantastic vacation at March's home! I highly recommend March for anyone looking for a dog-loving person with a sense of humor and pays a lot of attention to details.”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Todd was awesome! Very communicative and attentive, and clearly seemed to provide a great environment for Beau to stay. He came home clearly taken care of, calm, and happy.”
“Francois is exceedingly kind and good about checking in and letting me know how Sadie’s doing, always with a sweet photo. I know she is in highly competent and caring hands.”
“Ozzi had such a great time with Yang and her family. They welcomed him into their home and took great care of him. We received photos and videos every day to keep us updated, which was very appreciated. He will definitely go back on our next time away!”
