“Elizabeth & Rodrigo always treat Gator as part of their family and I cannot express enough how much that helps my anxiety being away from him. I never worry about him knowing that he’s being loved & cared for! They always send plenty of updates and truly are the sweetest family. Gator & I are their biggest fans!!!”
“We could not have chosen a better sitter for our puppy! We needed last minute care for our 10 month old pup as we were coming from out of town, and Zwany and Leandro made everything seamless all while taking the best care of our girl. They sent lots of photo and video updates and I could tell she was in trusting hands. On top of that, we needed to extend her stay last minute and they were so accommodating for all of our needs. We will definitely be bringing our girl there again whenever we’re back in the area! Thank you so much for caring for our pup as if she was your own!”

As a first-time puppy parent being away for several days, I was naturally a little nervous, but Leah went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt comfortable, safe, and happy every step of the way. Leah was incredibly caring, thoughtful, and attentive to Luna's needs. Not only did she take her on neighborhood walks, but she also arranged fun outings where Luna got to socialize with other people and dogs, which she absolutely loved. Leah sent multiple updates and photos every day, so I always knew how Luna was doing, and her communication was consistently prompt and reassuring. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in such wonderful hands. I would book with Leah again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like their own.”

Thank you very much Ilya!”
“We couldn't have asked for better care for our dog while we were away over the holiday weekend. Krystal and William tailored their care to Benny's needs, made special treats for him, took him on plenty of walks, and sent dozens of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. It was such a relief knowing that our little guy was in good hands while we were gone. Will be booking again in the future :)”
“We left Leo with Megan for nearly two weeks during our wedding/honeymoon. It was a long time to leave our pup with someone we didn’t know and we were nervous.

“Jenna was absolutely wonderful!! We had our cats separate because of some new onset behavioral issues and were hesitant to leave them, and she handled everything better than we could have asked for, on top of that with a positive attitude at all times. She was communicative when she had questions and very thoughtful and intentional, and left hilarious daily updates and pics. By the end of the week I stopped worrying about the cats because I knew they were in great hands. Jenna is very respectful and responsible and I would trust her to handle anything. She left our spaces clean, followed any instructions well, and went above and beyond to clean up after our cats even outside of the norm (one threw up one day and she cleaned it without hesitation). It was clear our cats warmed up to her quickly. We can only hope she’s available the next time we go out of town!!”

I’d definitely recommend Charlotte and will be requesting her services again the next time I’m out of town!”

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!
“I was a Nervous parents because it’s first time to use rover but it turns out great experience . Our puppy Totori get to meet good dog friends and bond with Daria as soon as he met her Totori didn’t want to leave her place after day care and that tells us everything ! I will definitely ask her to take care of my puppy 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.
About: Pet sitting was my first job at 13 years old—and I’ve yet to find another job I’ve enjoyed quite as much! Over the years, I’ve cared for corgis, pit bulls, border collies, Rottweiler puppies, and plenty of other dogs, as well as cats. Most recently, I’ve walked my friend’s small pup, Hartsie, and provided overnight care for two cats. I’ve seen just about everything: dogs who decide to take an unexpected swim in the pool and dogs who absolutely refuse to cross the street unless you carry them. These experiences have taught me to stay calm, think on my feet, and adapt to each animal’s unique personality. I’m confident in my ability to roll with the punches, get to know your pet, and provide the kind of attentive, reliable care that gives owners peace of mind. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. If you want someone to come walk your dog in the mornings or afternoon, I'm your girl! I will make sure to leave your home as I found it and leave your pet happier too. While I'm in your home, I'm willing to adhere to your medication schedules or even sit with your dog for an hour or two for some pets. Let me know how I can benefit you and your pet and I will do my best do meet your needs.
“Emily is so sweet and Evie absolutely loved her! She can be a little skittish and she was immediately at peace with Emily and their sweet dog Auggie. Emily communicated so well and went above and beyond to make the day smooth. I really appreciated it!”
“Haley did a great job hosting Marzie, our 8.5 month old puppy, for her first Rover experience. We did a meet & greet a week prior so Marzie was familiar with Haley, which made her comfortable at drop off. Haley was waiting for our 6:30 am arrival and entertained Marzie for 9 hours - sunbathing, walks and playing inside. She was communicative when Marzie didn’t eat her breakfast (normal for her) and made sure she was well taken care of. We would definitely go back to Haley again and recommend her to anyone who needs doggy daycare!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets and has volunteered with animal shelters since childhood. As a former dog mom to my late min pin, I’m experienced with managing anxious or reactive dogs, oral medications, food allergies, and other special needs. I adore all pets, but have a soft spot for seniors and little guys. 🐕 I’m conveniently located between Back Bay & South End and WFH full-time. I work from home full-time and can provide a high and personalized level of care and attention to your animal during the week or on weekends! I take care of every animal as if they were my own and follow owner instructions to a tee. In my home, I have stairs if an animal needs assistance getting on the bed or couch and have a crate that comfortably fits medium sized dogs or smaller. I do live up several flights of stairs, so please let me know if your pet would need to be carried down for walks.
“Brendan was great with our dog Rowan for doggy day care. He sent us photos through the day and was super responsive. Thank you again, Brendan, for watching Rowan!”
“Our dog Wally loves spending the day with Katie! Katie has watched Wally for daycare for the past few months and she has always been so kind and easy to communicate with. Wally gets so excited when he realizes he’s spending the day at Katie’s :)”
“Anastasia did an amazing job looking after Pearl! Traveling from out of state and she made me feel so comfortable leaving Pearl for the day when I needed to work. Took loads of photos to keep me updated. Will definitely be booking again when back in Boston.”
“Hudson had a great time with Jamie! This was his first time staying with a babysitter so I was a little nervous about how he’d do (and nervous to leave him 😂), but Jamie was great and Hudson seemed happy and calm both days when I picked him up. Would definitely recommend!”
“Shuhua took very good care of my dog pepper while I was moving apartments. My chi was instantly in love with Shuhua and you can tell that she cares about your pets too. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
