“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Victoria was great with my puggle for a ~2 week stay. She sent periodic pics and updates, gave her medications, and had no issues. Would definitely rebook in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“We’ve used Aurora multiple times for boarding with Hondo and she’s done a great job! Hondo is always excited to go and she’s very responsive and provides lots of updates.”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“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!”
“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!”
“I have a 9 year old dog named Kyah that I absolutely adore and she has never been away from the family overnight. I was very nervous about leaving her and wasn't sure how she (or I) would handle it. Luciana and her mother did such an amazing job and I cannot thank them enough! After the initial meet and greet, I scheduled a trial sleepover for 1 night right before the scheduled stay (5 nights) so that Kyah could get to know them, familiarize herself with the new surroundings, and to reinforce that I was coming back - that may have been more for my peace of mind. Luciana and her mother took such great care of Kyah. They took her for walks, adhered to her special diet and gave her medications as needed. They even took a bunch of pictures and sent them to me! There were 2 specific things that occurred and gave me ABSOLUTE COMFORT & CONFIDENCE that Kyah was well cared for. 1) When I brought Kyah over for the actual stay (after the initial trial sleepover), she noticed Luciana' mother sitting on the couch and she happily walked over and greeted her. 2) When I picked her up after being away for 6 days, she was really excited to see me AND as we were walking away to my car, Luciana's mother said goodbye to Kyah and she actually turned around, walked back over to her and said "goodbye". Both of those examples left significant impressions because my dog is pretty aloof and doesn't usually show affection to anyone other than her family. Luciana and her mother make a great team and I highly recommend them. I have already made arrangements for this summer!”
“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!”
“Ashley took wonderful care of our dog! She knew he needed exercise and took him on lots of long walks and played ball with him frequently. We would happily use her again.”
“Renee is great! Our dog loves her so much I am jealous. On the practical side, Renee kept us updated daily about our dog's activities and mood. She was 100% reliable, and that is really what you want when you are out of the country and leaving your pet with someone!”
“Geraldine was very easy to work with, I can tell that my dog really enjoyed his time with them and he was really cared for, which I truly appreciate. The only feedback is that I wish she would give more proactive updates, but I would definitely let her watch my dog again.”

“Dave was the one I met for taking care of our two cats. He is very nice and easy to communicate. I received pictures everyday after his visit and he left tons of water and kept the litter super clean. Thanks a lot!”
“We’ve got very tough kitties that require medication and hide. Given that, our expectations are adjusted. Upon short notice, Sharon was able to care for our kitties. Sharon was unable to give one of our kitties an insulin shot one evening due to hiding under the bed. She communicated this to us real-time. She waited at the visit to attempt again. Upon receiving response, she used new techniques in her next visit with success. She sent photos. Prior to the visit she came by to meet our cats and see the routine. All in all we were very happy with her support.”
“Jordan was great. No issues whatsoever with my diabetic cat’s insulin injections. She was thorough and clean. Will definitely book Jordan again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and I was very pleased with both the app itself and our sitter, Priety. The app makes payment and exchanging information so easy. I also loved the alerts about the visits. Priety definitely used the app to is full potential by sending us lots of pics and updates. I really loved that she seemed genuinely excited when our grumpy cat finally asked for some pretty from her. It's nice to know that your sitter truly enjoyed her work. Thank you!”
“This was my fourth time booking Anna for drop-in visits - because she's great! Anna is reliable, communicative and hard-working. She got down on the floor every day to check on my two scaredy-cats who hide under the couch whenever a stranger is in the house. I always feel confident leaving my kitties under Anna's care while I'm on vacation.”
“Eunae took exceptional care of our senior kitty. He can be slow to open up to new people, but warmed right up to her. Eunae’s updates were thorough and reassuring. She is awesome and we’ll gladly hire her again!”
“Marina was a wonderful cat sitter! She came by a few days before my vacation to meet my cat and get him comfortable around her. My cat is young and wary of strangers. He usually doesn’t go up to people he doesn’t know, but he was immediately comfortable with Marina. While I was away, she took very detailed notes and plenty of pictures. I had assurance that my cat was getting the playtime he needs (he’s very active). I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that he was in good hands!”
“Natalie was great! She was super friendly and responsive, she took lots of photos, and kept me updated :) It's hard to tell what cats are thinking, but I think they liked her too ;)”
“Caroline did a great job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She kept everything neat and tidy, paid attention to detail, and was fast/prompt with any communication. Would definitely recommend and will rebook if needed in the future.”
“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!”
“Ari was fantastic with my kitties! My cats both need oral medication every morning so I was a bit worried to leave them, but Ari took great care of them. I recieved thorough notes for each visit and multiple photos every morning. I was very reassured they were in good hands. I will be rebooking in the future!”
“Katherine does a great job taking care of my cats! They are very shy, but she still takes the time to try and play. I know my tigers are in trustworthy hands while I'm away!”
“Jolene dropped in while we are away to take care of our Ash. She was very communicative, provided pictures, and met our requests. We look forward to future requests with Jolene”
“Sasha is great! She took amazing care of our two kitties while we were away for almost two weeks. Communication was excellent; she sent little updates and pictures every day. Thank you, Sasha!”
“Yuting was super easy to communicate with and extremely prompt on her reply (especially with myself needing the check-in about 40 minutes ahead of schedule). On top of that, I had complete peace of mind that she was the one checking in on my old man (cat), especially after reading her profile and a brief chat with her. Extremely happy she had availability for me, and definitely will be booking again!”
“Incredible attention to detail, went above and beyond caring for my cat and apartment every time she visited. Already have hired Lisa twice and will do so again when needed without second thought.”

“Once more, Jerry had a BLAST with Andrew. Truly so grateful for Andrew. He’s beyond competent and kind. Our puppy left happy and we can tell that our puppy was loved while with Andrew. Highest rating!”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Lee...the immediate level of comfort Atlas had as well as myself with Lee and his dog Sharif... The meet and greet went great with others as well... Atlas was in very goods hands and I would no problem booking with Lee in the future... Thankyou Lee”
“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!”
“My pup had the best time ever in the yard, chilling in the house, and befriending Betsy’s sweet dog. I even got a photo during the day. :-) Looking forward to her next stay!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 😊”
“This is our second time using Rover and it was such an awesome experience. We're looking for an in-home daycare and my puppy Houston had an absolute blast with Weihai, and the pups Igo and Kiwi. Houston can't wait to return - thank you!”
“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”
About: I'm an experienced dog-sitter and equestrian who's able to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. I work from home and am able to provide specified care for your pup while you're away, including: frequent walks, hikes in local conservation areas, and the administration of medications. I supervise dogs closely, can provide basic veterinary care, and live near an emergency veterinary office, just in case. I have my own dog in the home. When your dog is with me, they'll be cared for like my own with plenty of exercise, socialization, and love. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. I currently walk and feed my own dog at 7:00am, noonish, 5:00pm, and 9:30pm. I can provide numerous walks for your dog each day during the week, and will take them local "adventures" on the weekends to local parks, Middlesex Fells Reservation, etc. My own dog is friendly and playful, and will keep your pet company.
“Belinda took great care of our dog Ollie and sent regular updates and pictures. Ollie is an anxious dog and he seemed very comfortable there. We would definitely have him stay with her again!”
“Cindy is so attentive to all the dogs that she cares for, there is great outdoor space for them to play, a lovely screened in porch and inside her home by her side to rest. I trust her and her two pups are so good with all doggie guests! So glad I found her, Daisy and Gummy!”
“Yulia and her family are caring and considerate. Sheila, their 8 year old corgie was very cute and friendly too! Peppercorn loved staying with her and playing with her elementary school aged children.”
About: Hello, I would like to say I have had the joy of having dogs and petsitting throughout my life and have loved every aspect of it. My dog, Holly, lived to be 18 years old under my care. I took care of her from when she was a puppy until the end of her senior years so I have a wide range of knowledge on aging dogs. I have a lot of energy so keeping up with a dogs' exercise needs will be no problem. And to me, dogs are family. My dog was like a little sister to me so I understand the trust involved in letting someone else take care of them. I can assure you I have a wealth of compassion for animals, and, given the opportunity, I will care for your dog as if they were my own. Thank you for considering me to care for your dog and I hope you have an amazing day! My schedule is pretty flexible. As of this month I have all day Thursday and Friday available as well as the rest of the week as long as the pet care ends by 2pm. If this doesn't work for you please reach out so we can find a solution! I will keep this updated as my schedule opens up. My home has 2 locked doors to get in and is in a very safe part of Somerville. I currently have a gecko who I feed daily and ensure he has a balanced diet and regular vet appointments as well as enrichment. When I had dogs and cats in the past I was outside for hours every day playing with them and making sure their lives were happy and fun. It brings me a lot of joy to see animals happy and enjoying life. Their lives are so short I want to make every moment a great one.

“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 😊”

“Very professional, thoughtful and thorough services! I was very happy that I was able to leave my dog home without any worry and he was taken care of very well! Parker (although not into people much) seemed to really like James's energy and went out with him no problem. I hope we will be able to use James' services in the future.”
“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!”

Additionally, I value your privacy and will maintain professionalism at all times.
“Maria has been "walking" our dog Sugar for a few months during her heartworm treatment. Sugar is on bed rest and Maria has been absolutely wonderful keeping her calm and giving her lots of love, treats, and belly rubs. Sugar absolutely adores her and I feel comfortable knowing she is in great hands! Maria has also cat sat for us for a weekend and the cats (including the one who often gets grumpy with cat sitters) loved her! I highly recommend Maria!”
“I am always happy to hire Geoffrey for a walk around the neighborhood! He makes sure to give my dog some extra pats and check his water while I'm at work and I love getting the photo updates too.”

Highly recommend Cheuck to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.”
