About: I am a very passionate cat mom of two sweet tabby boys who understand that we all always want the best for our kitties! I got my first cat five years ago when he was seven weeks old and my second earlier this year when he was six months old, so I have a lot of experience taking care of kittens. Since I travel a lot, I know how big of a deal it can be to trust someone else with your cats, and I want to be that person for someone else. I have a cat who insists on having ice cubes in his water and likes to have me watch him eat, so I am very accustomed to tending to cats' quirks. I have cared for both of my cats through surgeries, including applying warm compresses and administering medicine (even to a picky eater). I feed my cats both wet and dry food so I am very familiar with serving both.
“My 9 year old very SHY and skittish Turkish Van Kitty PURRSIA warmed right up to Lily! Cats seem to magically know if a stranger is a CAT LOVER right-off-the-bat, and Lily very clearly passed the CAT LOVER TEST! Great experience~ Thanks LILY”

“Erin was a wonderful catsitter for our boy Merlot! She was kind, respectful, responsible, and communicative. We asked to receive picture updates and received daily photos of well-loved cat. I would recommend Erin without hesitation and will gladly ask her to watch Merlot again.”
“Jenna did a fantastic job with my kitten, Olive. She sent lots of pictures and made sure she was happy and well cared for while I was away. This was my first time leaving my kitten and Jenna made me feel that she was extremely competent in caring for Olive. Will definitely request again the next time I’m on vacation!”
“I’ve booked with Emily a few times and she is consistently communicative, kind and takes great care of our cats! I appreciated how flexible she was for a last minute booking.”
“Stephanie was great, communicates quickly, and was wonderful with my cat. He liked her a lot as well, which is good because be can be quite skittish. I'll definitely pick her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Victoria and I am a full time dog sitter. I have a dog of my own! She is a chihuahua-dachshund mix and her name is Lila! I have dog sat for family and friends and wanted to bring my love for animals on to Rover! Because I am always home, your dog will not be left alone for long extended periods of time. I will be able to provide consistent care and plenty of attention! I live an apartment that is extremely dog friendly! It is conveniently located 5 mins walking distance from dog parks and other green areas for your pup.
“Anastasia was amazing!! Visiting Boston for my bday Nervous to leave our puppy but she was so incredible with Bella and sent us updates all day! Thank you!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life, growing up with all kinds of dogs, from bulldogs to german shepherds. I’m good with high and low energy dogs of all sizes, supplying pets, walks, and treats to make your pups forget how much they miss you! I’m especially experienced with senior dogs and the extra care they require, especially those with limited mobility. Because I work from home your pups will rarely be alone, which helps me stay on top of potty breaks, playtime, and any other needs your pets have! Because I work from home, I am able to take close care of your furry friends. I do like to go to the gym in the morning for about an hour, but am usually in one spot for the rest of the day so your pets won’t be alone and can have all their needs met. I’m happy to take breaks to walk/play. I am very respectful and comfortable in new environments and am happy to work with you and your pet’s needs. I’ve mostly pet-sat in other peoples homes in my hometown, so I am very used to following the guidelines you are comfortable with. I am easily reachable and responsive, and like to send check in photos at your convenience!
“Indrajeet accepted our reservation at the last minute, which ended up being wonderful luck for us. What a kind and caring dog sitter. Monk and LouLou were immediately at ease. Fear not and book now. A wonderful experience!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life. I grew up beside them and learned how to care for them at a very early age. I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, personalities, ages; from dogs who were my family, from my friend’s dogs to dogs belonging to people in my local community. Since I’ve been living in Boston for almost a year now, I have scouted out great routes to walk dogs to local spots for play and enjoyment, especially in nature. Special skills include dog breed knowledge, basic commands training, clicker training, animal welfare, and basic wilderness first aid training. I work from home 70% of the time and my schedule is wonderfully quite flexible. I am able to meet basic needs like potty breaks or walks and easily adjust my routine around the dog’s needs. I have worked with many different dog personalities and characteristics before and can take care of your dog however needed. I allow dogs on the bed and couch, have plenty of treats on hand, have many pet friendly locations nearby to take them, etc.
About: Since childhood dogs have been a big part of life. From my big loaf of a mutt growing up, to helping my aunts with their pair of border collies I'm always learning more ways to connect with pets . I live in large loft with lots of space to run and play. Located in Downtown Boston; minutes away from the Greenway, Commons, and Harborwalk. Available for boarding, sitting walks and drop-ins. I have years of experience with big dogs, puppies and elderly pooches. I offer structured walks. These aren't just quick bathroom breaks. I provide focused, active walks tailored to your dog's energy level. For high-energy or larger breeds, this includes paced exercise to ensure they get a thorough workout; for seniors or smaller dogs, we take a gentler, scent-driven approach to keep them mentally stimulated without overexertion. I work entirely from home and within the immediate local neighborhood. This setup grants me excellent scheduling fluidity, allowing me to accommodate midday requests, early morning routines, or late-evening check-ins with ease. When your pet is in my care, they receive structured, high-quality attention. Because my day is entirely organized around pet safety and lifestyle needs, I am highly reliable, prompt, and capable of spending extended, quality time keeping your dog company. Taking care of furry friends has turned from my favorite hobby to my 9-5 (sometime 24/7 lol). Available for last minute booking. Just ask! I am very experienced with high energy breeds. Boredom can lead to stress, so I incorporate interactive play, puzzle toys, and basic command reinforcement into our time together to keep their minds sharp and focused. I have a well provisioned toychest to keep your pooch engaged and active as well as a lifetime worth of tips and tricksk up my proverbial sleeves. Centrally located for convenient dropoff/pickup near Logan Airport. Multiple dog parks within walking distance. Stay-at home full time attention for your pet.
“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.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Grace took amazing care of our anxious puppy, Louie. Looking forward to him spending time with her and Andrew when we are away in August; we know he will be in great hands!”
“Our other dog sitter cancelled last minute and Jhona was able to step in and take very great care of our dog! Roo had fun walks and playtime and we got photos and updates during his stay. Will book again”

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’ve had two cats for the past 4 years and have pet sat for friends and family when they’ve needed help. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow whatever routine and instructions help you and your pet feel most comfortable. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I work full-time (6am-2pm) as a scientist, so I’m generally available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My schedule can be flexible though to accommodate for early morning visits. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they need before accepting a booking. I use Rover myself so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable until you’re back. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
“Alyssa was fantastic!! Took the time to meet my pup & go over instructions. She did great my dog & I always came home to a very happy & tired dog. Would definitely recommend booking with her”
About: I have a dog and a cat and I have never met an animal I didn't get along with! I raised my dog from being a puppy and watched him grow into my senior boy! I also have experience living with and caring for a variety of dogs, all the way down to a tiny 6 pound dachshund. I also have plenty of cat experience and have cared for and lived with many of those as well :) I emphasise patience and respect. I typically work from 4-late so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend mid-day for a walk or home visit. For in home visits I will respect and adhere to any rules or specifications you lay out for your pet. For walks I will adhere to any specific route you would like us to take or area of the city you would like us to stay in.
“Emily is reliable, consistent, and flexible. She provides thorough updates of her walks with pictures and feedback. I trust her 100% to care for my one year old Maltipoo, Milo. Highly recommended!”
About: I have over 13 years of experience pet sitting! I have experience with day visits and overnights as well as boarding at my apartment. I am trustworthy with animals that have medication regimes. Most of my jobs have been caring for dogs or cats but I also have experience with rabbits and once, a pet rat! Leaving your pup for any amount of time can be stressful on you and them. My main goal is to lessen that stress for both and treat your pup like my own. I currently have an 8 year old lab mix who loves to have dog company! If your pup loves taking walks and endless cuddles, I’m the sitter for you! I currently work from home on Tuesdays and I am off work by 4pm during the week! I am also pretty open on the weekends. I live in a large apartment that allows for a few good runs of fetch. However, I live by many walking paths with great views and a lot of space. My apartment complex also has a designated area outside for walking and the bathroom. All furniture and bed is dog friendly but there is space to bring a crate if preferred! At your home, all house rules will be respected.
About: I have many years of experience looking after dogs having taken care of my dog Lexy since we got her 12 years ago, along with helping out with my family’s two dogs in Jordan whenever I visit. Whether it is taking them out on walks, routine feedings and medicine, or just giving them attention and playing with them, I know what it takes to look after a pet. I am currently a student at Boston University and I have a schedule that would allow me to be with pets most of the time throughout that day. I can be around for feedings, walks, and just to give them the attention they need. I live in a spacious apartment near a park in an animal friendly building. I will be able to cater to pets needs as they come.
“Can’t say enough good things about Yulia. She is so sweet and you can see how much she loves animals. She was very kind to our yellow lab who sometimes gets anxious and stubborn. She made sure he was well taken care of, that he got good exercise, and potty breaks. She sent lots of photos which evidenced how much fun Dempsey had while in her care. Highly recommended!”
“Elliot was thoughtful about the hot weather and took great care of River on his walk, giving him water during and after. I got great updates and trusted he could pick up & drop off while we were away from the house.”
About: I've grown up with and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. From tiny puppies to large lovable seniors, I've been around them all! I'll treat your pup with lots of scritches, belly rubs, and love like they're my own, all while maintaining the level of discipline you keep in your home. I'm comfortable walking on a leash, taking them to a dog park, or just hanging around at home watching whatever is on TV. Dogs are a comforting presence for me, and I'm eager to take care of yours. I'm currently unemployed and am job hunting as we speak, so my schedule is wide open! Whenever you need a caring, watchful eye over your pup, I'll be there. I live by a park, so if I'm dayboarding, there's easy access to green space. If I'm dog walking or dog sitting, I'll follow your lead. You know your pup best, so whatever rules or expectations you have, I'll ensure they're followed and maintained.
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I recently helped care for and train two new puppies, working on basic commands, routines, socialization, and positive reinforcement. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I walk my 2 energetic pups everyday and love doing it! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m already very active as a student-athlete. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan walks, playtime, and drop-ins around my classes and hockey practices, so pets always get the time and attention they need. provide a safe and caring environment where pets feel comfortable. I follow any instructions you give me closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or medications. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while in my care. I currently care for 2 high energetic new puppies, I’m very reliable with dogs and have a lot of experience caring for them.
“Piper is literally the best and knows/loves all things dog! I can’t already tell that we are lucky to have our paths cross with her and can’t wait to work together more in the future!”
About: I have loved and cared for pets my entire life and understand the importance of attentive and loving care, especially when the owners are away! My schedule is quite open as I work from home full time and can be available day and evening as requested. I can provide walking and/or sitting for short or long term durations. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in downtown Boston. My home would be very suitable for smaller dogs! I live directly across from a park as well.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of both a cat and a dog, so I know firsthand how much love (and attention!) pets need. I genuinely love walking, so, why not bring a furry friend along for the fun? Whether it’s keeping routines consistent, offering extra TLC while you’re away, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like they’re part of the family and pride myself on being reliable, calm, and communicative! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day for pet care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and extended stays, whether your pet needs an early morning walk, a midday break, or some company in the evening. Because I work from home, I can be flexible around your pet’s routine and give them the attention they need without rushing. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! Before each visit, I take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any specific instructions you’d like me to follow. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy level, use positive reinforcement, and never force an interaction if they’re feeling nervous or overwhelmed. I’m also very respectful of your home and your pet’s space. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
