“Charlie had a great stay with Christina! I was nervous leaving Charlie and Christina sent photos throughout the stay so I could see what she was up to. Charlie had lots of walkies and snuggles and enjoyed her visit.”
“Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.”
“Zwany is super nice and easy to work with. She is communicative and follows all instructions. Her goal is the best for your pups and she always accomplishes that goal. She also sends all toys and materials you send with your pup back cleaner then they started which is so nice after a trip, one less thing to worry about!”
“Michelle and Michael took excellent care of our pup. They were very communicative and asked all the right questions from jump. You know your dog had a good time when they don't want to leave. Highly recommended!”
“Linda is an amazing sitter!! She took amazing care of Teddy. He loved running in her backyard and spending time cuddling. She kept me up to date about how he was doing and was very kind. Teddy would love to stay with Linda again!!”
“Thank you again John. Walking dogs in a dense urban setting is not without its challenges. John is so experienced with this and we can head out of town without concern for our dog when he's in John's care.”
“I can’t say enough about the care Bailey received while we were away. I never for a second doubted he was having a great time and being taken in as a member of this family. Thank you so much!!”
“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!!”
“Rachel was great! It was Harley’s first time staying with a new sitter and he can be unpredictable, but Rachel was reassuring and positive about watching Harley and that helped ease my anxiety! She was communicative, sent pictures and did a great job with giving Harley his meds that he is sometimes fussy about. Very happy to have a new reliable dog sitter to add to my rotation!”
“Jess was an amazing pet-sitter. The walks and family time were just what our dog loves. He came home happy and well-rested and not exhausted like he usually does when boarded at a kennel-type facility. He enjoyed the love and attention he received, as well as the interaction with the other dogs. We will definitely be using Jess again!”
“Jing and her husband were great. They took great care of my dog for the week. Their house is in a great location and their fenced yard was great for my dog who is not always the best off leash. They clearly care for dogs. I would definitely find Jing again!”
“Peyton took great care of my puppy, Luna while I was away for the weekend. She was very reliable and attentive and I could tell Luna was very happy and content to be in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates which I really appreciated, and I’d definitely recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Isabella did a great job in minding Marvin and Mellow. My cats are usually nervous at first, but settled down really well throughout their stay. She kept us in the loop with loads of photos and videos. By the end, our cats were content and I would definitely book her again!”
“Emily and Daniel were phenomenal watching my dog Ace! Very accommodating, excellent communication and updates, and could tell Ace genuinely had a fun time and was taken care of!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.

“Casey was an amazing sitter and I will definitely book with her again. My cat Gatsby loved her, he was the most relaxed he has ever been when i've returned from a trip! :)”
“Sarah is an amazing cat sitter! I have a very shy kitty who has never once come out from her hiding spots to interact with any cat sitters or visitors to our house and who sometimes struggles to eat when we’re away. With Sarah she came out of her shell and seemed so much happier and more comfortable, and she ate much more food than normal. It gave me enormous peace of mind and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Marisa was very quick to communicate and super helpful for a last-minute trip that came up! She sent lots of photos and my kitties were very happy when I returned.”
“Cat was great! She was very attentive to our cats and sent us lots of pictures daily. Really appreciated that she played with them and we will 100% use her services again.”
“Emily was AMAZING! This was my first time leaving Kearny alone for several days in a row and she was extremely attentive to both him and I! She made sure he had enough food and water and also provided great updates on how we doing! Thank you SO much Emily!”
“Gloria did a wonderful job looking after my cat while I was away, he really liked her! She was incredibly quick to respond and was able to work with me despite it being a last minute booking. There was a bit of confusion about which door opened to my apartment (not her fault at all, my apartment door is labeled incorrectly), but she handled it so well and we were able to sort things out very quickly. Would book again!”
“Erin is an amazing cat-sitter! Erin has kindly dropped in on my car Merlot over two trips now and Erin’s clear communication, flexibility, and wonderful, kind treatment of Merlot is deeply appreciated. I would trust Merlot to Erin again in a heartbeat.”
“Halle was a wonderful sitter for my 2 cats. She was great with communication and pictures. I felt comfortable being away knowing she was caring for them. Would absolutely recommend!!”
“Ashley is an amazing sitter for your furry friends. She always does an amazing job of checking in. Whenever I get back from my trips I can tell that my cat was well taken care of. I will always be asking for Ashley anytime I go away!”
“Super kind and responsive, very friendly with the animals and makes sure their needs are met. Would 100% recommend and use again. One of our cats was sick while we were away and sure was very helpful and flexible working with us to help him feel better.”
About: Hi! I grew up with dogs & cats throughout my childhood and then got a dog of my own during COVID. Due to a breakup, I no longer have my dog & have been chasing to get puppy snuggles wherever possible. I have dog sat for friends and family countless time. I also volunteer occasionally at the Animal Rescue League of NH & also am looking forward to find a MA organization, now that I live down in MA! I work full time with 2 days in the office. The other 3 weekdays, I work fully remote & am flexible! If you live close by, I can stop by to let your dog out, take them for a walk or just give them some love for a bit. And of course, I’d love to stay at your home if needed (and could even work remotely from there if you’re okay with that!) I’m happy to accommodate to whatever you need in your own home! Since I don’t own my current place & have a dog living here currently, I am only offering services outside of my house. This will include- dog walking & in house visits/stays for cats & dogs. However, that means you get to tell me where everything is & we don’t need to take your perfect dog/cat out of their safe space. 🤍
“It was my first time using Rover and Jessica was the best cat sitter! She sent me pictures of my cat everyday and was on top of everything! She is so incredibly kind and my cat absolutely loved her! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Karina took great care of our kitties and I would definitely book her again! It was such a relief to find someone who has experience giving SQ fluids so she could do that for our kidney disease boy while we were gone. Thank you!!”
“This is the first time I used Rover and have left my kitties alone. Hannah was amazing, she ensured she took great care of them, and was super communicative throughout. Would highly recommend Hannah to anyone!”
About: I’ve been a cat person my whole life—I grew up with three cats and have been caring for family and friends’ cats since I was about 8 years old. I currently have two young, active cats of my own, so I’m very used to keeping up with playful energy as well as giving plenty of attention and care. I have experience with cats of all ages, including administering medication to senior cats. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home.
“Mina is the best! I rested easy knowing she was taking great care of my cat while I was on vacation. She is caring, knowledgeable, and thorough. And most importantly: my cat adored her. I appreciated all the detailed reports she left after each visit, and all the pictures and videos she would send during the visit.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home for the past 21 years, namely an array of bully breeds both large and small. When I moved abroad in 2023, my English bulldog moved in with my family and I’ve been eager to welcome all of my friends’ dogs into my life and home ever since. I’m often dog-sitting for friends across New England and thought now is as good of a time as any to offer the same support to others! I’m a full-time remote employee with a spacious apartment that happens to have an enclosed deck and located across the street from a sprawling park with dedicated dog areas! I’m a typical millennial woman who is always willing to lend my time and space to some sweet pups. My apartment is dog friendly i.e., they’re welcome in all rooms, on the furniture, and to enjoy the fenced in deck on nice days. I love long walks and therefore long walk companions and maintain a quiet and calm home life.

“Cooper can be a lot of energy to handle sometimes, but Sophie did great with giving him long walks and allowing him some time to decompress and get used to her apartment so he could chill out for the rest of his stay. Very understanding and communicated well throughout the day.”
“Lauren was amazing! She was super communicative, kind, and took great care of my dog. I felt completely at ease, and my pup came back happy and relaxed. Highly recommend her!”
“I'm so glad our dog get to stay with Tran! She's responsive and sends pictures throughout the day. Our pup had a blast with her with the toys she had and the walks she take her on. Really appreciate all the time and effort she put in for our pup. Thank you!!”
“I had an excellent experience with our Jayden. She was available to help my dog and I during a snow storm and I had to go to work! My dog Jack was well cared for and she helped to ease my mind! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. My dog made himself right at home with her and cried when he was dropped off which means he missed her already and had a great time! I really appreciate the updates and peace of mind knowing my dog is in safe, attentive hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
“Katie was so amazing with our anxious dachshund Willow. She made time for a meet and greet before her first visit and Willow warmed up to her so quickly (and that is no small feat!)”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and having my own dog since I was 12 made them a big part of my life growing up. Being away from home for college means I really miss my dog, which is one of the reasons I enjoy dog-sitting so much, it lets me spend time caring for and bonding with dogs while giving them the attention they deserve. Over the past three years in Boston, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends and families who trust me because I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on maintaining each dog’s routine and comfort. I’m currently a senior in college with classes mainly in the mornings, so I’m home and available for most of the day. This schedule allows me to prioritize pet care, stick to routines, and provide consistent supervision and attention. When dogs stay with me, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their usual schedule as closely as possible. Dogs are never left alone for more than four hours, and I send daily updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away. My apartment also has a dog park amenity, which makes potty breaks and outdoor time easy, safe, and convenient
“Stephanie was great! Super accommodating for a late notice booking. Fergus was well taken care of and had an amazing time with her pup! He is happy and had a great day care 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: Hi! I’m Anna! I work from home in a cozy 1-bedroom apartment, and I share my space with my cat. While I don’t have a yard, I live right next to a beautiful park. I typically go on two long walks a day (about 2 hours total), so your pup will always get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have experience with all types: puppies, seniors, big breeds, shy pups, and the extra-energetic ones! I used Rover back in college while living in Tampa, FL, and absolutely loved it. I just recently got back on the platform and couldn’t be more excited to start caring for pups again. What sets me apart? I’m extra with all my pets in the best way. I focus on making sure every animal is happy, comfortable, and fully spoiled with love. That means lots of cuddle, treats (if allowed!), and walks. I’m flexible, responsive, and genuinely passionate about giving pets the absolute best care. If you're looking for a true animal lover who will treat your pet like family, you’re in the right place! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I already take two long walks every day (about 2 hours total), so adding a pup to my routine is easy and honestly, way more fun! In My Home: I create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet who stays with me. I live in a cozy but clean 1-bedroom apartment that’s pet-friendly and great for lounging, playtime, and relaxing. I also have a curious cat who’s used to meeting new animals. Since I live right next to a beautiful park/North end waterfront pier, pets get daily walks and potty breaks. I follow each pet’s routine closely: feeding times, treat preferences, sleep habits, and any special instructions. Because I work from home, pets get tons of attention, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day. In Clients’ Homes: When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and your pet with the same love and care I’d give my own. I'll stick to your routine/instructions: meals, medications (if needed), walk times, and favorite activities. I keep the home tidy, follow all instructions, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed. You’ll also get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. No matter where the care happens, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.

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.
About: I spent 3 years volunteering at my local animal shelter! I adopted my dog in high school as a puppy, and worked to train and take care of him. Hi! I’m a medical student at Tufts University, and love animals! I always had a dog at home growing up, and love staying active— long walks and play time are great. I’m able to spend more time with your baby, as I don’t have a fixed schedule and can frequently drop in/walk them/ and spend time with them! I’ll be treating your pet like mine, ensuring they’re always cared for, safe, and happy. In your home, I’ll be sure to maintain your routine as much as I can to keep your fur baby calm! During walks, they’ll be secured on their leash and I’ll be giving them plenty of attention. I’ll make sure to follow any rules and expectations you might have :).
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: I love going on walks, and would love to bring along your furry friend! I have experience walking dogs of friends and am very flexible with scheduling as I work remotely most days of the week. I also have 14 years of experience taking care of cats, and would love to help with boarding or helping to take care of your cat while you are away. I currently only work part-time and remotely, so I am very flexible with scheduling time for walks/taking care of your pets. Let me know what works for you, and I can fit you into my schedule! If your pet needs company at home, I can easily sign in to my remote job from there and stay with your pet, or check in periodically throughout the day if you prefer that instead. If you would like to board your cat with me, I live in a studio apartment with a friendly roommate. I will plan to remain home to work remotely to watch your cat and ensure their safety and comfort. We have a large window and lots of natural sunlight which cats would love!
“Elliot walks my young large German shepherd mix twice a week . He’s great , arrives on time , feeds her when I request it and Daisy loves her . I would highly recommend Elliot to anybody looking for pet care”
About: I have a deep love for all animals, and bond quickly with them. I'm patient and caring, as well as responsible and cautious. I over communicate and will send tons of updates, pictures and videos. I live and work downtown; I am within a few blocks of my apartment and can be flexible to walk and drop in during the day. I have ring cameras that I can set up in my home for boarding, or in your home for day visits, to give piece of mind that your pets are well looked after. I'm happy to board or visit your pets at their home! I have a city apartment with great windows, hardwood floors, lots of sunlight and tons of comfy spaces for kitties/dogs to get comfortable! I am happy visiting in your home as well, and will adjust my cadence to what your pet prefers. I can set up ring cameras to make sure your animals are happy and cared for during the day, and make sure, if they need immediate attention, I’m aware and available .
“Samantha is a great communicator and caretaker. Samantha is a regular dogwalker for my medium/large rescue lab/shepherd mix named Tofu, who has some level of anxiety. Samantha always updates me if there are changes in schedule or with Tofu’s behaviors during the walk. Samantha also asks questions and is attentive to Tofu’s needs, and has been building a positive consistent relationship. Thank you, Samantha for giving Tofu the exercise he needs!”
“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!”
“Our puppy came back tired after her walks and fell asleep immediately, something that never happens! Highly recommend Reed to anyone with a dog in the Arlington area. He was extremely communicative and prompt.”

Also happy to walk, feed, watch, and play with your dog, and can ensure they will be in good hands. I did not grow up with a dog, but have extended family members and friends with dogs that I have cared for regularly. I am very reliable, patient, and respectful, and am happy to provide updates during check-ins. I am happy to do a meet and greet beforehand if you’d like. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or if you are looking for a sitter! :) I am pre-med and my schedule is currently pretty open/available since I recently left my full-time healthcare job in search for part-time while I study for the MCAT for medical school.

I will arrive on-time (i.e. your preferred time(s)) to care for your pet(s) and will ensure that they are well cared for. I will be respectful of your instructions, and of your home. I am not offering pet-sitting services in my own home.
“Angela was great with Haisley! She is super communicative and kind, Haisley loved her as soon as she met her. She checked in when it was snowing to make sure Haisley was comfortable for her walk. It is great having a dog walker you trust who is kind and communicative. Thank you Angela :)”
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 10 years, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. My friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and tend to their beloved dogs in their homes. I pay close attention to each pet’s routines, energy levels, and unique personality. I truly understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I always approach them with patience, warmth, and a deep sense of responsibility. I currently work remotely and study part-time with a flexible schedule, which lets me dedicate meaningful time to pet care. I genuinely enjoy building routines with pets so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. I'm available for daily walks, check-ins, and house sitting, including longer stays, to ensure your pet’s comfort and happiness. I genuinely care for pets in the comfort of their own homes, always respecting their routines and familiar surroundings. I am deeply mindful of their safety, cleanliness, and diligently follow all instructions from pet parents. I ensure doors are secured, adhere carefully to feeding and medication schedules, and strive to provide calm, attentive, and responsible care because their well-being is my top priority.

I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first.

Thank you again!!”

He enjoyed the love and attention he received, as well as the interaction with the other dogs. We will definitely be using Jess again!”
“Jamie was great taking care of Maya, she sent me multiple updates throughout the week and made sure Maya was comfortable and happy!! I would definitely recommend her and will use again in the future!!”
“Peyton took great care of my puppy, Luna while I was away for the weekend. She was very reliable and attentive and I could tell Luna was very happy and content to be in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates which I really appreciated, and I’d definitely recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Emily and Daniel were phenomenal watching my dog Ace! Very accommodating, excellent communication and updates, and could tell Ace genuinely had a fun time and was taken care of!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of my own pets for 20+ years and been pet sitting for 10+! I love spending time outdoors walking and running with pets as well as showing them affection and keeping them company at home! I work from home 3 days per week and in office in Kendall square the other 2 days! I have flexibility with which days I go in so I can always make myself available for your pet’s needs! I have a spacious apartment with close access to the wharf and harbor walk, but I would happily pick up/watch your pets from their own home!
