“Excellent experience. Sara seemed professional, friendly, and very on top of things. She stayed in close touch about our little guy, and Kiwi seemed in good spirits both during his visit and after. I'd also specifically flag her location as a bonus—the house has a good yard and it's on a small, low-traffic side street, which always makes me feel better.”
“Angelina was fantastic! She took great care of Sammy, and sent us lots of photos while we were away. Excellent communication and very easy to work with. I would absolutely ask Angelina to watch Sammy again!! Thank you!”
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
“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.”
“Yingying took care of my dog really well for the week. My dog Nia has separation anxiety and yingying let her sleep in the bedroom to keep her calm. We really appreciate it.”
“I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving my dogs with anyone else. The girls settle right in with Judy and are not that anxious to leave when I come to get them. Love her sweet dog Rosey 😊”
“Himanshu was wonderful and took such great care of our dog. She felt right at home with him from the start. He kept us updated throughout her stay and was always engaged with her through different activities. He is a great host and has a wonderful home with plenty of space for dogs to play and feel comfortable. He went above and beyond by keeping our puppy active, doing some grooming, and making sure she was always engaged. We also really appreciated the thoughtful and constructive feedback he shared on a few areas where she could improve. Overall, we had a great experience and felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands.”
“Avery took us his client at the very last minute when our prior arrangements had fallen through. Avery was very responsive was great sending pictures and updates and our dog shall be. Had a great time.. I would highly highly recommend Avery if you’re looking for a sitter can’t say enough good things.”
“Mary took such good care of my miniature schnauzer who is cautious and shy. She was a great communicator. She sent pictures showing me he was happy and doing well and when I picked him he was as contentedly curled up asleep. I am so thrilled to be able to have Mary sit for him again in the future.”
“Once again, Skye and Oban had a great time with Robert and his family. It's nice to know they are well taken care of and have a lot of people to love on them. We are happy to have found a sitter so close to home. Thank you Robert and Family”
“Susan was an amazing caregiver to my dog while I was away. I was out of the country for 5 weeks which is s long time to be away from my boy!!! I felt completely secure and comfortable leaving Theo with Susan. I never worried and truly appreciated the pictures she sent and posted on FB as well. I highly recommend Susan and will definitely use her again when I have to leave my pooch in someone else's care!!”
“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 was amazing with our dog! He boarded at her house for a week while we were on vacation and she treated him like family! She sent pictures and updates everyday, and our dog loved playing in her fenced in yard. We will definitely book Liza again!”
“Amanda was awesome with my 6 month old puppy! She is friendly, welcoming, and provided a safe and loving atmosphere for my puppy while I was away. She was responsive when I texted to see how my dog was doing, and sent pictures. Amanda really put me at ease. Her sons were great with my puppy too! They loved playing with her in the yard, and my puppy thoroughly enjoyed her time with them. My puppy was happy and excited from all the fun and activities when I picked her up! I would definitely recommend Amanda as a responsible and nurturing dog sitter for anyone looking for care for their precious pup. We would definitely use her again!”
“Tilly seemed to enjoy her overnight stay and interacted well with Alexandra’s dog. There was excellent communication between us with several great status photos provided. Will certainly use her services again!”
About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have owned a cat and a dog. I watch or check in on my friends' and family's pets when they are away from vacation. I WFH fairly regularly so check-ins are really easy. House sitting is doable, but would need to coordinate times as i have some activities with my kid. Animals are all about routine and I don't like to rock the boat. However you take care of your pets is how i want to provide for them.

“So grateful for Lauren and the way she cares for our pup! She is very communicative, responsive, and has followed through perfectly with all the things I’ve asked! I’ll definitely be reaching out the next time we need a sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“When my cat needed to be picked up from the pet hospital, Bonnie made it clear that the cat’s health was the most important thing, not exactly what the charge would be. She was caring and diligent, which is an excellent combination for this type of work. She cared deeply about my pet, and I recommend her unhesitatingly.”
“Donna was very good with my cats as far as I can tell. She kept me updated on how my cats were doing, which can be hard since they are both shy and don’t usually come out for people.”
“I scheduled Kelly at the last minute and she was more than willing to take care of my cat, Domino, for 3 days. She sent pictures at each daily visit to reassure me that my furbaby was well taken care of. Much appreciated Kelly!!”

“Eryn was incredibly kind and accommodating with my two spicy cats, stepping in on short notice and adjusting seamlessly when our return plans changed. She took wonderful care of them, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a flexible, compassionate pet caregiver.”

“Sheylah was an excellent cat sitter for our two cats. She was reliable, and very sweet and accommodating to the kitties with their unique needs. I would highly recommend her!”
About: With several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep passion for canine companionship to my work with Rover.com. My journey began six years ago, helping raise my first pup in my family’s home, and has evolved to include caring for my own dog and offering dog-watching services in my neighborhood during my downtime. My approach is highly personalized, ensuring each dog receives tailored care suited to their individual needs. I find joy in spending time with all dogs, including those with more challenging behaviors, and am dedicated to creating a nurturing and loving environment for them. Additionally, my experience has been further enriched through my work at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I have honed my skills and deepened my understanding of canine care. As a current student, my availability varies with the academic calendar. Typically, I am available all weekend and most weekdays after the afternoon. During the holiday season, I travel and may be less accessible. However, I maintain a flexible schedule and can often accommodate requests on short notice. Please do not hesitate to reach out, and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I treat pets with the same care and attention as if they were my own. Although I do not offer pet sitting services at my residence, I ensure that your home is treated with the utmost respect and care, just as I would my own. I understand the significant trust you place in allowing me into your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously.
“Emily was such a great cat sitter! She gave me excellent updates every day on how my babies were doing, with lots of pictures. It was so nice to travel and feel confident they were in good hands.”
“Kristen is amazing!!! She needed to shovel her way in to feed our cats one night, *and* she had to clean up one of my forgetful messes, but Kristen stops at nothing to make sure our home and pets are well cared for! She also managed to befriend my very suspicious cats— no easy feat! Will definitely use Kristen again when needed! 🙌🙌”
About: My love for animals started at age 10, when I got my first cat, and since then, they have always been a big part of my life. I understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe and relaxed. I also have hands-on experience caring for a Maine Coon, Persian cat and Scottish kittens, so I’m comfortable with different ages and temperaments. I live with my husband in a spacious two-floor apartment with hardwood floors, no carpets. While you’re away, your cat will be treated with patience, kindness, and loving care.

About: My journey with animals did not start as a job. It began when I was 10 years old and welcomed my first cat into my life. Since then, animals have always been part of my world.

The area around us has plenty of green space, which makes walks much more enjoyable and gives dogs lots of room to explore, sniff, and play.

“Initially before my Scottie Dog’s daycare, we did a “Meet and Greet”, which gave Jack an opportunity to interact with Kavita’s dog, Toby. Toby was very welcoming to another dog to share his spacious fenced in backyard. The next day, I dropped off Jack, who was eager to meet his new dog friend, Toby. During the day, Kavita sent me a photo, and video of Jack’s outside activity. It was very reassuring to know that my pet was doing just fine interacting with the other dogs.”

About: Having grown up with a dog and now raising a family with two young children, caring for living creatures with patience, structure, and genuine affection is second nature to me. I understand that pets aren't just animals—they're family members who thrive on consistent routines, clear boundaries, and lots of attention. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup’s routine, managing feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm, cozy environment overnight, I bring a gentle, dependable, and highly organized approach to pet care. I treat every home with utmost respect and every dog as if they were my own. As a mom with a structured daily routine, pet care integrates seamlessly into my schedule. I focus on early morning and evening routines—ideal times for overnight house sitting, morning feedings, and evening walks or drop-in visits. Because my household operates on a reliable daily rhythm, I am highly consistent with feeding schedules, timely medication, and bedtime routines. Whether dropping in for a 30-minute visit or staying overnight, I plan my days to ensure pets receive dedicated, uninterrupted attention during their most important care windows. Safety, clear communication, and respecting your space are my top priorities. As a parent of two young children, taking a proactive approach to safety is second nature to me—I am always vigilant about securing doors, keeping household hazards or small objects out of reach, and maintaining a clean, secure space. In your home, I strictly follow your specific security instructions, keep feeding areas tidy, manage litter boxes daily, and ensure your pet’s normal routine remains completely undisturbed. For walks and outdoor time, I keep dogs securely leashed and pay close attention to environmental surroundings. I respect every pet’s boundaries by letting timid animals approach at their own pace, and I always confirm your local vet details and care instructions beforehand. You can count on frequent updates and photos so you always know your pet and home are in safe, caring hands.

After growing up on a farm and being a founding member of the local 4H Club, my love for animals continued to fostering through rescues, volunteering, and my own pets such as my now passed 17 year cat named Moya, whom I had had since she was a few months old. We around a lot of dogs over the course of the week, so we are unable to on any dogs that will not do well with others for more than an over night. If you have feline family, I am happy to play with crinkle balls, laser pointers, or be a lap as needed. For boarding, my Matt and Jason (also on Rover) and myself are home 95% of the day and can usually accommodate most pick up or drop off time, frequent potty breaks, and walks. For drop in visits we are avaliable to work in the Shirely and immediately surounding area. We have some flexibility with the schedule that we can work out if you're interested! We offer lots of human and other dog socialization in our home. We have people and dogs visitors in home as well as on walks to parks and rivers.
About: While this is my first year of pet care I’ve had and taken care of all sorts of animals and currently have 2 sweet dogs of my own! I am so excited to meet you and your pet(s)! While I’m home from college for the summer I am available during weekdays, mostly during the afternoon hours of the day! Open to coming earlier in the day if needed! During my drop-in care for your pets I will be feeding and taking them out to the bathroom as needed as well as giving them lots of attention!
About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

“Excellent experience. Sara seemed professional, friendly, and very on top of things. She stayed in close touch about our little guy, and Kiwi seemed in good spirits both during his visit and after. I'd also specifically flag her location as a bonus—the house has a good yard and it's on a small, low-traffic side street, which always makes me feel better.”
“Angelina was fantastic! She took great care of Sammy, and sent us lots of photos while we were away. Excellent communication and very easy to work with. I would absolutely ask Angelina to watch Sammy again!! Thank you!”

“Himanshu was wonderful and took such great care of our dog. She felt right at home with him from the start. He kept us updated throughout her stay and was always engaged with her through different activities. He is a great host and has a wonderful home with plenty of space for dogs to play and feel comfortable. He went above and beyond by keeping our puppy active, doing some grooming, and making sure she was always engaged. We also really appreciated the thoughtful and constructive feedback he shared on a few areas where she could improve. Overall, we had a great experience and felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands.”

Had a great time.. I would highly highly recommend Avery if you’re looking for a sitter can’t say enough good things.”
“Mary took such good care of my miniature schnauzer who is cautious and shy. She was a great communicator.

They loved playing with her in the yard, and my puppy thoroughly enjoyed her time with them. My puppy was happy and excited from all the fun and activities when I picked her up! I would definitely recommend Amanda as a responsible and nurturing dog sitter for anyone looking for care for their precious pup. We would definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve always grown up with dogs, but now that I’ve moved out, I don’t have one. I love having a furry friend to spend time with and play with. Besides taking care of my own pets, I’ve also had experience caring for my elderly grandparents and working with children for over seven years. I always prioritize my pet’s needs. If my pet eats at 6 am, I’m up and feeding it at 6 am. I also like to let my pet out every 2-3 hours, especially when it first wakes up or after eating. I enjoy going on walks, and there’s a rail trail nearby. Cuddles are everything. If this pet wants me to love on them I will be super cuddly. I want to make them feel as at home as possible.
“We are very thankful for the care Julia gave our dog while we were away on vacation. She was great about providing updates and was able to accommodate for his extra needs due to his arthritis. It was wonderful knowing he was in good hands so we could enjoy our trip!”
