We are very grateful for his thoughtfulness- they got into a good rhythm and I think Frances really enjoyed her time with Su!”

Aly sent daily updates and pictures throughout our vacation and we could tell our dog was comfortable and happy. Aly felt like an extension of the family right away and we I couldn't recommend her more. We will definitely look to have her watch our dog in the future.”

She sent so many picture updates and notes about how our boys were doing. We won’t be looking any further the next time we need someone to come look after our 2, Julie will be our go to!

About: Your pets will be in loving, reliable hands with me. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, giving them so much attention and comfort that they won’t even notice you’re away🥰 I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether your pet requires extra cuddles, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy. When your pet stays in my home, they become part of my family from the moment they walk through the door.

We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.”
“Emma took such great care of Arya and she was so happy with her stay! Emma sent updates and pictures to me of my baby girl and kept me updated with any changes. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have a deep love and respect for non-human animals. Growing up with multiple indoor and outdoor cats and a family dog (a feisty miniature poodle!), I have developed a strong knowledge base of pet behavior. In my work as a pet caretaker, I look for and respond to behavioral cues and needs, allow space for pets to come to me and feel safe with me, adapt to pets' energy levels, encourage play, and bring a compassionate, patient, and responsible nature. I have most flexibility to take care of your pet on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Afternoons work well for me. Mornings depend on my schedule and pet parents' schedule. First, I greet the pet and check in on their overall wellbeing. If I am pet-sitting, I will take a quick look about their living environment to make sure that it is clean and safe. If I notice an accident or that the pet has gotten into something, I alert the pet parent. I take care of any in-home needs, and then I spend time connecting with the pet through play, attention, and treats (if allowed!). If I am dog-walking, I make sure to bring the pet's gear (leash, harness, poop bags, water, treats) and prepare a planned route.
“Debra was scheduled to walk my dog 4 days one week while I was away and due to bad weather we canceled 2 of the days. She was flexible with scheduling a meet and greet, very communicative all week when some hiccups arose, and very loving to my dog. I’m booking her again asap!”
“Morgan and Meaghan were great! They were very easy to work with. On top of that, they were very flexible with our last minute request. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good dog sitter.”
“Mirabel is always so good with our dog! She’s highly reliable and clearly loves working with animals. Her constant communication is excellent as well. I’ll always recommend her!”
“AMAZING. If you need someone reliable and that goes beyond this is your sitter. She picked up my request last minute. Ann-Marie provide detailed reviews. She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.”
“Megan did a great job and was very communicative and flexible when I was needing Samuel to be walked. Love that she took time to get pictures and seemed to enjoy time with Samuel!”
About: Hello, my name is Stacy and I’m 34 years old. I joined Rover because I love spending time with pets but I’m not in a position to have my own. Since having joined Rover, I’ve worked with reactive dogs, puppies a couple of weeks old, intact dogs and dogs having undergone surgery. I’ve also either pet sat or lived with Labrador Retrievers, Pugs, Poodles, Chihuahuas, Old English Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, Schnauzers, Irish Wolfhounds, Pitbulls, German Shepherds, Great Danes and others. This is aside from the cats, reptiles and tarantulas I’ve either sat for or interacted with. As of April 2026, my longest stay (over two weeks) has been for a dog with cancer. It’s been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I’m available to sit, do drop-ins and walks every day of the week. I’m a small business owner in a separate industry and grateful for the flexibility. I do not bring guests of any kind to client’s homes. It is fine if clients have service workers such as house cleaners entering the home, as long as I am made aware of the time of their arrival. I generally do not wear shoes in people’s houses and I always clean up after myself if staying for several hours or more. I may bring house slippers to wear inside based on the circumstances. Please indicate if you are able to provide both a towel and a washcloth. It is ok if you can only provide one of these or neither. I will bring my own if needed. I am slightly anemic so I ask that you keep your place at a reasonable temperature. You may also provide a few blankets.
About: I have taken care of various breeds of dogs and cats including walking, feeding, providing medications, cleaning up after, and playing with animals of all ages. I work from home with a flexible schedule and can be available to check on cats or walk pups throughout the day. Also available early mornings or late evening. I am very careful and take time to familiarize myself with each pets homes, surroundings, and supplies such as collars, leashes, doors, and gates to ensure safety while at home or on walks.
“Tommy takes fantastic care of my dog during their daily walks! It’s great knowing my pup is in good hands, and Tommy always provides photos and updates. I highly recommend booking with this sitter!”
“If you have an anxious dog who struggles in meeting new people Luis is the best sitter/walker. Luis is extremely empathetic, patient and very accommodating. He goes at your dog's pace! I was worried about leaving my dog with anyone since he is challenging to work with and Luis has greatly eased my concerns.”
About: I’ve had pets in my life for over 26 years, and I’m a true animal lover through and through! I can stop by your home to care for your dogs and cats during the day, whether that means going for a walk or run, playtime, feeding, or just checking in to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’m an active person, so your dogs will always get plenty of exercise if needed, while your cats will get the attention and affection they deserve. I have experience with many different dog breeds—from corgis and chihuahuas to labs, blue heelers, and German shepherds—as well as caring for cats with all kinds of personalities. I’d love the chance to give your pets the love and care they need while you’re away! Available when you need and love all animals, big or small, walk-drop ins- sitting-etc. Happy to be your go to rover. Contact me for me scheduling details I am a per lover, have had many pets all my life: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish. Your pet will be 100% safe and cared for as if it was my own!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, like my family dalmatian Tucker and Rottie Bear, and cats like my bonded pair of childhood cats, since I was born and am a huge animal lover. I am the mother to my Cat Chica, who is a sassy dilute calico girl and our dog Benji, a silly energetic chihuahua min pin. Before moving to Boston, I fostered over 40 kittens and 8 dogs through the humane society of Tampa Bay. I also was a full-time nanny during grad school where I often watched family pets while my nanny family’s vacationed. My nickname is literally Catie Cat :) I currently work part-time (4 days a week) and am available for long weekend sitting or stays in the morning, afternoon, and evening! I’d love to help you out! I’d love to show your dog the JP pond if allowed! For walks, I am familiar with the JP and Brookline area so I can be sure to take your pets around to all the spots safely! In your home, as a former full-time nanny, I understand the importance of keeping routine and making sure to follow rules and safety with your pets! In your home- I will follow your pets daily routine and provide as much love and safety as I can while you’re away! For boarding, our pets have free rein of the home, sleep with us, and get treats as they want so i’m happy to treat yours like family! If not though, animals can be crated.
“Claire was excellent! She kept me updated and took some cute pics of my dog before/during/and after the walk. She even sent me a picture of my cat when she saw him after walking my dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I follow the guidelines of the owner. I am "present" (not distracted) with the dog. I am consistent and caring. I am very aware of the dog's behavior in the range of other pets and people, and adjust our path and pace accordingly. I am recently retired and my scheduled is flexible between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. unless I have scheduled time on the water to sail. Currently, I walked my neighbors dog. When I enter, I am careful to close the door immediately and take time to greet the dog (Mazie, female). I am attentive to details when putting on her harness for both security and comfort. While walking, I follow the instructions of the owner relative to the proximity of other dogs since Mazie is a rescue and can become agitated by other dogs. Maize heels very well for me while we walk and I believe she appreciates that I do not listen to music or use my phone while we walk. I converse with Mazie to ensure she feels companionship as well as experiences exercise.
“Katie is always responsive and makes sure that Henry’s needs are met. He’s an older guy with aches and pains and she makes sure we know how he’s doing on their mid-day walks!”

Buttercup was beyond thrilled to see her show up at her house which tells me that she was well cared for. We would definitely use Michelle again!”
“Maria and Mac are amazing! They sent a lot of pictures and kept me well informed of how Bori was doing. If I have to go out of town again I would absolutely want them to take care of Bori again.”
