“Wonderful care of our pup when we were out of the country for 10 days! Photos and updates of his adventures, lots of walk and play. Our pup came home happy and healthy after having his own little vacation!”
“Haowen was amazing! I was really nervous about leaving my dog with a new person, but I had no reason to worry. They took lots of photos and sent me several updates daily. My dog did have a little accident when she first got there (which she never does 🤦🏼♀️), but Haowen was so understanding about it. I would definitely use this rover again!! Cleo came home super tired, so I’m guessing she had a fun weekend lol”
“Nola and Damian took great care of our Goldendoodle Rocky. They are very responsive, friendly, and attentive. We are looking forward to booking with them again the future.”

“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with my dog during his one-day stay! From the moment I dropped him off, she made both of us feel comfortable and welcomed. She was attentive, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she sent me updates and photos showing how happy and relaxed my pup was in her care. It was clear she gave him lots of attention, playtime, and affection, and he came home content and tired from such a fun day. I really appreciated how communicative and professional Elizabeth was—she made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’d definitely trust her to care for my dog again in the future!”
“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.”
“Radka (and family) were amazing! Took the time to get to know my dog's needs and really made her a part of the family. My dog is blind so she needs a bit of extra attention and Radka provided it perfectly. had to book with Radka last minute and I was super nervous but she put my mind at ease with lots of photos and informative updates (but not too many either, she read the room well). Overall just the best experience I've had with Rover so far!”
“Jing was highly responsive and took great care of Baks. Communication was thoughtful and prompt. She sent tons of pictures and updates which put my mind to ease. I was able to pick Baks up early with no issue and was very happy to see him early. Baks stayed with Jing for 4 nights while I was out of town.”
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.

“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“Natali was able to take Chunk for a last minute visit and she could not have been more wonderful! Chunk had a great weekend with her and she was flexible, attentive, and took such great care of him.”

I would treat your pet how I would want anyone to care for my own pup!

About: *Currently looking for gigs near for July 25-Aug 2nd this month** Hello! I am a recent Wellesley College graduate but I come from a big family in Austin, Texas. I've looked after dogs, cats, plants, and plenty of farm animals. I adore animals and have two dogs of my own back home. I have great communication and I am willing to send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. I read and respond to signals that animals give attentively so your pets will be in great hands! I am looking forward to caring for your homes and pets. I am currently looking for jobs before starting grad school in the fall. I babysit occasionally, but I am often not away for more than 3-5 hours. My home is currently being renovated so I will not be hosting any pets there at the moment. I am happy to consider in home pet care after renovations are finished.
About: My partner (Henry) and I love to watch dogs together! We have been surrounded by dogs our whole lives, from small picky eaters to large dogs that can run for miles. Growing up around dogs, we know that they are all different and respond to new people differently, but we have had positive experiences in taking care of family’s, neighbors’, and friends’ dogs in the past and have a ton of energy to do so. We love spending time outside and with dogs and have dog-sat before, including experiences wherein we did not stay in the owners’ home, but visited frequently to walk and feed their dog, and we have dog sat in our own home, so we are comfortable with adapting our services to any of your needs. We both have hybrid work situations, so one of us is always working from home at any given time and are used to being flexible with a pet’s schedule. We take care of pets like they are our own, in the past when we have boarded dogs in our home we have adapted to what the pet is and is not allowed to do (ie sleeping in the bedroom or not etc.)
“Hannah was an amazing sitter for our senior cat! I loved the daily updates and accompanying photos. I was very much at ease knowing Hannah was so helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
About: I'm Nicole! I'm 34, living in Brighton, and have been caring for dogs for four years now. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and have experience in a professional grooming salon. I'd be absolutely thrilled to be able to care for your furry family member! I am available many evenings. As a dog bather, I can help to trim your dogs nails and bathe them every few weeks as needed. I can help determine what kinds of shampoos and conditioners would be good for your dog. I can also externally express their anal glands as needed, if the dog is scooting his butt across the floor. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I truly look forward to hearing from you, and working with your dog! I am also a cat owner of 15 years! My current cat is a 3 year old dude who I have had since he was just a kitten. I am currently available full-time to provide pet care! I am especially fond of dog walks because it is a good way to explore and get exercise. I make sure your fur baby feels safe around me and I move slowly, and watch their body language. I base my interactions with your pet on their body language.

“Our pup was in a daycare with Tiffany and Steve for a little less than 6 hours, and he seemed to have had a very comfortable time with them. Tiffany and Steve were very prompt with their responses, sent us a lot of updates and pictures even in the few hours he was with them, and a detailed rover card at the end of the stay. As first time clients of theirs, they showed us the entire space where they stay with the dogs and the other dogs our pup would be playing with during his visit. They also were super flexible about his pick up and drop off times and were very eager to keep to our pup's daily schedule and meal times. I would happily board my dog with Tiffany and Steve again! Thanks guys :)”
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.
“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”
“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!”
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.
“Adela is amazing!! She took the best care of my 3 month old Havapoo for 2 days in a row - lots of walks and playing! She sent me tons of updates and pictures, which I so appreciate having a new puppy. I will be using her again and I know that will make my pup Henry so happy :)”
“Winn did very well with Emily and Daniel. When I picked him up from daycare he was wagging his tail happily, having enjoyed a day with them and their dog.”
“Jim was a super duper sitter! He was very responsive and was very accommodating to what we needed. A day prior we stopped by for a Meet & Greet to allow our pup to meet Jim for the first time. Then dropped off our 4 month old pup very early in the AM the next day while we went up North until late afternoon. Jim sent a few updates as well as a video throughout the sitting. Overall, very delighted with the experience and the attention he gave our pup, would definitely book Jim again in the future! Thanks!!”
“Barbara is literally the best and so, so helpful. She took care of my dog for 3 days when I had an extremely intense schedule. She accommodated drop off and pick up and was always early - when I arrived she was already downstairs waiting for me and I really appreciate that. She is experienced and can identify the needs of my dog and update me accordingly. When my dog returned to her place for the 2nd and 3rd day my dog looked so happy to be with her again. I’ll definitely have her taken care of my dog again if necessary”
“Radka is an amazing dog sitter and she takes great care of my needy wiener dogs. My dogs are always thrilled to be back and would kiss her goodbye! Radka also communicates well and gives detailed updates that are very helpful.”
“Maddy took great care of my pup! My scampi loves to snuggle and Maddy was very kind and let her Velcro all throughout the day. She’s extremely communicative and sends tons of pictures throughout the day which makes me feel week assured scampi is in great hands!!”
“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!”
About: Hi, I'm Amy! I work from home full-time, so your pup will have company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods of time in a strange place. I have experience sitting dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large ones, and your pup will be the only Rover dog I watch at any given time so there is no need to worry about potentially conflicting personalities. I'm an active person who loves the outdoors (averaging 13k+ steps a day over the past year), so your dog can look forward to long walks or even short runs, if I'm training for an upcoming race and they're up for the pace. My home is a 4-story brownstone with plenty of room to roam (pups are welcome on beds and furniture!), plus a small fenced-in backyard for outdoor time and quick potty breaks. I'm also close to several parks, including the beautiful, expansive Mary O'Malley Park right on the water, and surrounded by a neighborhood full of friendly dogs — so there's no shortage of ways to socialize and burn off energy. I also have my own dog, Poppy, an Aussiedoodle who's confident and easygoing around other dogs. She'll happily give your pup their space while still being a calm, friendly presence around the house and out on walks. I work fully-remote so I am home most of the time during the week. My own dog has social anxiety so she’s never alone for more than 3-4 hours at a time so your pup won’t be either! I have a fenced-in backyard (6ft tall) and a very active Aussie mix who will keep your pup company on long walks. I can crate dogs too if that is how they feel most comfortable. Otherwise they have full roam of the house and are allowed on furniture/beds as they like.
“Maryna and John are so wonderful! They asked all the right questions when getting to know my nervous dog on his first day, and took such good care of him. Ollie will be so happy to visit them again. Thank you!!”
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: 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
“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!”
“Taylor was great! Super energetic and fun loving, perfect for my puppy. She was communicative and trustworthy right from the start. Will for sure be using her again.”
“very helpful and flexible when I had last minute changes of plans. took excellent care of my dog and sent dozens of photos! my dog loved him and was so happy all day. i absolutely trusted he was in good hands.”

“Abby is the best. My dogs love her. She is attentive and kind and dependable. Abby even got my 2 senior beagles going on walks every day and it’s been really good for them!”
About: I have been pet setting for friends and family for the past fifteen years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each and every fur baby I come in contact with. I do not have pets of our own, so we really take this time to provide all the love and attention to your pet while we have them Spending time with me . I have grown up with dogs and cats, my entire life, and once we moved to Charlotte, have helped our neighbors tremendously while they vacation our daily walks around our community. Days are that much more fun when we have someone to bring along with us , especially since we have a dog park walking distance from our home. I can’t wait to meet your loving pet, and give it the same love and attention it deserves. I work from home, so have unlimited time to give your pet attention and take for as many walks as needed. Typically I take two walks a day, but frequently take more when pet sitting there is an enclosed porch area that are smaller dogs that we watch like to hang out on to get sun and fresh air since our yard is not fully enclosed. On weekends that we are pet sitting, we make it a point to stay local and to include your pet in any of the activities that we do around the house. We have a large yard and an enclosed porch area that we can spend time with your dog on. Within walking distance from our house, there’s a small dog park as well. I spend a lot of time outside, walking multiple times a day and would be happy to have your pet accompany. My daughter Isabella is very mature and is excellent with helping. Keep your pet entertained if that is what they prefer. For the dogs that I have sat, and are not as active, I make sure that they have the space that they need and attentive enough to understand when there needs change.
About: I’ve always loved dogs which makes taking care of them super easy and rewarding! I am pretty flexible when it comes to pet sitting, but I’m happy to have a conversation to make sure I’m the right fit for your needs! I currently have relatively open availability during the week to fit a variety of needs, just let me know! I will also be around on the weekends around the holidays. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs! While Im certainly not a dog trainer I feel comfortable with a wide variety of temperaments. One of my dogs is a bit of a problem child so Im used to reading body language and such to make sure he is comfortable and I am safe.
