“Ariel was delightful, caring and just wonderful looking after our AZUL. Her regular pictures gave us joy and assurance that he was being well cared for. I strongly recommend her to others who need someone to trust in looking after their dog. Scott”
“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!”
“Our doodle ran to Amanda the minute she saw her the morning we left. She was so happy the week we were away--we could see it in the pictures Amanda sent. We've already rebooked for our next stay.”
“John did an amazing job watching my dog LD! He took care of her for 9 nights 10 days while we were on vacation. He provided daily updates and I never worried or wondered what she was up to. My dog has separation anxiety and blues and John dealt with it by adjusting to what she was comfortable with regarding feeding schedule and going outside. He is a very trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you again John!”
“Absolutely thrilled with the care Zwany and Leandro provided for my two dogs over the weekend! From start to finish, they went above and beyond. They kept me updated daily with photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. They treated my pups like their own, showering them with attention and affection. I was especially impressed with the thoughtful report card they gave me at the end, detailing how the dogs did during their stay. It's clear they love what they do, and I can't recommend them enough. I'll definitely be rebooking their services in the future!”
“Lyn was amazing and so accommodating! Lucy had a fabulous stay with her. She also administered her daily medicine and provide updates, e.g., videos and pictures, about Lucy’s stay. That was a big plus. Thank you, Lyn!”
“Kimberlyn is wonderful and was so flexible to accommodate us with a change in pickup time! Our golden retriever Maggie has stayed with her many times and always comes home so happy. We would 100% book again!”
“Our dog Sherman had a great time with Tyler and Caroline! We recently moved to Boston and of course were nervous about finding the right care for our dog for a trip and all our nerves went away after meeting them. You can tell they absolutely love dogs and our dog had a blast! Will absolutely be rebooking”
“Jo and Adam both very pleasant in person; kept me updated with notes, photo, video; were careful of food and reassured me with updates on the fussy eater. My little dog seemed cheerful and calm when I picked her up, and kept circling back to nuzzle Jo one more time, so it seems like she had a good time. Would definitely book again.”
“Zach was fantastic! He came through for us last minute when our other sitter cancelled last minute. He watched our dog Nugget for the weekend, and was flexible, communicative, easy to work with, and very attentive to our needs and directions. We'll definitely use him again.”

“I have 2 older dogs and unfortunately one of them had a health emergency during their stay. Fortunately Victoria was on top of things. She communicated quickly and often with me and was able to get my dog to the emergency hospital in time. My baby is home and recuperating nicely. Thank you, Victoria for taking such good care of my babies!”
“A wonderful experience with Alesia! I contacted Alesia and she responded quickly, I left my dog for 2 days with her and it was absolutely a pleasant and worry free experience! I highly recommend her! She is the best!❤️”
“Karoll was so amazing! Before we booked, we had an intro phone call that made us feel so at ease. When our dog was staying with her, we received daily updates and photos/videos of our dog having a blast playing with other dog friends as well as alone time on solo walks. Karoll will be our go-to sitter from now on!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for family pets for over 10 years and have developed a deep understanding of the attention, patience, and love that animals need. From daily walks and playtime to feeding routines and basic grooming, I’ve helped care for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable handling pets with different energy levels and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I just graduated from Suffolk Law and will be home studying for the bar exam all summer! Having furry friends around is a great way to unwind and recharge from studying! Your dog’s safety is my top priority every step of the way. I take great care to make sure each pup is safe, secure, and stress-free! Whether we’re on a walk, playing in the yard, or hanging out indoors.
“This was our first time using Rover and Elliot made it the best experience. Elliot and his wife took excellent care of our 75lb pitbull for 3 nights. They sent lots of update pictures of our puppy on hikes, the beach, and snuggling. Would highly highly recommend.”

Will absolutely be reaching out again the next time we need someone to look after them!”
“Serena was super helpful and responsive. She took great pictures and kept us updated all weekend so we had nothing to worry about. Definitely recommend booking with Serena!”
“This was my second time booking Gabrielle, and once again she took wonderful care of my cat, Kali. During the heat wave, she went the extra mile by making sure the AC was turned on when needed and even refilled Kali’s water bowl with ice to keep her comfortable. She even complied with some of my cats tantrums to keep her happy while I was away, and I was especially grateful that she was available over a holiday weekend. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her, I really appreciate it!”
“Macy was absolutely wonderful with our 12-year-old Shih Tzu, Charlie. Caring for a senior dog comes with its own considerations, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Charlie was in her care. She was attentive, dependable, communicative, and treated him with genuine kindness throughout his stay. It was clear that Charlie was comfortable with her and very well cared for, which meant a great deal to us. We would unequivocally recommend Macy to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pup, especially those with an older dog. We would happily have Charlie stay with her again.”

“Miliana is a wonderful cat sitter. Our cat had a medical emergency while we traveling abroad, and Miliana took care of everything, sent videos, and handled a last minute ER visit. Responsive communication all the way. This was a huge relief in a stressful and helpless moment. We're back home and Kitty is doing much better. Hopefully nothing like this happens, but rest assured, your pet is in great and caring hands!”
“Cat was so great with our two cats while we were away. She followed the instructions and gave detailed updates & visit summaries. It was a relief to know they were in such good hands.”
“Annaliese has checked in on our very shy kitty a couple times - she is one of the few people Lola will come out for. Great communication and detailed report cards. Awesome sitter all around :)”

“Emily did such a great job with Ziggy and Smokey! She was consistent, attentive, and super communicative. I felt like my babies were loved and well cared for while I was away.”
“Nathan took great care of our two cats during a two-week trip, and we would happily book him again. He was reliable, communicative, and easy to work with, and he sent regular check-ins that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. During each visit, he handled everything we needed — feeding, checking the litter, playing with the cats, making sure they were happy and comfortable, and even tidying up a small mess one of them made — all without any fuss. We also appreciated his patient help when our Litter Robot got a little finicky mid-trip. Overall, Nathan was thoughtful, dependable, and clearly cared about making sure our cats were well looked after. We were all very glad to have his care.”
“Kyle was awesome! Will totally book again. He took great care of Ham and was very communicative the entire time. He’s so nice and trusting. I wasn’t worried about Ham at all because I knew he was being well taken care of!”
“We could not have asked more from Sloane. She was great throughout the whole process! I really enjoyed how thoughtful, caring, and attentive she was with our kittens. She also kept us updated sporadically during the days we were gone. Thank you for taking such good care of our cats!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy pets, and I’m always reliable and communicative. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. I offer daytime services like drop-ins, walks, and playtime, and I plan my schedule around the pets I care for. I’m dependable, flexible, and make sure each visit is focused, fun, and tailored to the pet’s needs—whether that’s a long walk, feeding, or some one-on-one attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines—meal times, potty breaks, walks, and playtime—to reduce stress while their owners are away. I always follow any specific instructions, from medications to feeding preferences, and I give regular updates and photos to keep pet parents in the loop. I’m clean, respectful of the home, and make sure every pet feels at ease while in my care.

About: I’ve worked in doggy daycare, I’ve trained my grandmother’s puppy, ✨I have a certificate in basic knowledge of dog body language✨, will clean up all accidents, I’m comfortable & capable of taking care of all dog sizes, and most importantly - I will make sure your furry friend has the best time! I’m extremely loving towards dogs and super passionate in making sure they’re happy :) After all, they unconditionally care for us - it’s only fair we give them the same respect. I take great pleasure in making sure your companion is safe and fully fended for while you’re away! I work a part-time job currently, but I get to choose my own schedule and can tailor it to fit your needs! I’m also a full-time college student but have acclaimed time management skills. *Please note that Rover only lets me choose day availability. You may request a day that appears open, but my availability is dependent on the specific times that you select.* I’ll feed your pet/s, frequently give water when needed, make sure they get playtime, take them outside to go potty (or help them to go inside if you prefer pads), give treats on good behavior (if permitted), and overall make sure you have a happy pup :)

“Cooper is so communicative and goes above and beyond with my dog Clementine! I would highly recommend her and I’m looking forward to having her as a consistent dog walker for my pup!”
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.
