“Jason was absolutely amazing with my dog, Tayto! I felt so at ease knowing he was in great hands. Jason totally welcomed Tayto in to his home and family. His dog, Noah, was the best playmate for Tayto. Jason gave lots of updates and photos to share all the fun they were having together. Definitely recommend and will be booking with him again!”

“This was the second time Stephen and Cecilia watched Winnie, and they were just as amazing as the first! They always keep in touch, send plenty of pictures, and make sure Winnie is happy and loved the entire time. She’s actually bored to tears now that she’s back home! I’d absolutely recommend them — not only for the great care they give to Winnie, but also for how accommodating they are with pick-up and drop-off times”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dogs, Cloe and Luna, received! They were clearly happy and comfortable, and we really appreciated all the photos and videos Casey sent us while we were away. It was really reassuring to know they were in good hands. We'd definitely leave them with her again!”
“Nalix was everything we wanted out of a pet sitter: prompt communication, accommodating, good care of our dog, and convenient dropoff and pickup. We will use Nalix in the future!”
“Dana was great! I got daily updates on my dog, who's usually pretty anxious with strangers. Having access to a secluded backyard for private exercise away from other dogs was super useful!”
“Ashley was wonderful! She sent lots of photos and videos during charlee’s stay. My pup is nervous in new situations but she quickly warmed up to Ashley. Will definitely have another stay in the future!”
“Coakley loved his stay with Joseph! Joe was great with communication and sent photos which we really appreciated. We'll definitely book again the next time we're in town.”

“Kevin is a sensational caregiver. He was incredibly responsive during our initial and ongoing communication. He was more than willing to meet up prior to my pup, staying with him, and was genuinely interested in my dog, and how to best accommodate him. I will be using Kevin in the future. I can tell my dog misses him already.”
“Jing and her husband took such good care of Monty while I was away. They sent tons of photos/videos, and it was so reassuring to see him having fun at their house. I think their dog is Monty’s best dog friend now!”
“Michaela took great care of my two dogs during their 4 night stay. They enjoyed all of the attention and snuggles they received! Michaela is an excellent communicator and trustworthy!”

She was very flexible and accommodating and didn’t complain about any bad puppy behavior if there was any.”
“Big thanks to Hyesoo and her family to take very good care of Doudou again. She always did amazing job! Sent a lot of updates. My dog has very good time with her and family 🥰 highly recommend her to take care of your child 🥰”
“I think Nicholas goes through withdrawal when he comes back to me because Drew and Matt takes such good care of him and their pups always so welcoming. They are the best!”
“Paula and her family took great care of my baby. She was very responsive and understanding of his quirks. Took him to the park and for a hike which he clearly enjoyed judging from the pictures she sent. Definitely recommend Paula and would have my pup stay there again anytime.”
“Charlie had a great 10 day stay with Alec and Damien. Communication was fast and efficient. It was Charlie’s first time staying with someone who wasn’t family or friends, but after the meet and greet I knew that they would take great care of him. I received updates (with pictures) while on my vacation and I would choose them again if needed. Highly recommend them to care for your dog as one of their own.”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience. I was away from my cat for four days and was quite worried at first, but I soon felt relieved knowing she was in such good hands. He took great care of her, kept me updated, and made me feel comfortable while I was away. My cat warmed up to him very quickly and clearly enjoyed spending time with him, which meant a lot to me. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave her, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Thank you so much Jasmine ! She took such phenomenal care of my cat , stayed the whole time to play with him , cleaned the litter box and went above and beyond . So trustworthy . Thank you again .”

“Madison was an absolute pleasure to communicate and she took fantastic care of our two cats over the holiday break. We got so many great pictures and videos, would definitely recommend her and will hope to hire her again!”
“Marlee was willing to chat with me ahead of time about details and the kitties and house were in order when we came back. It felt like it all went smoothly.”
“Jennifer was thoughtful and communicative. When returned home we could tell that our kitties were well taken care of. We would definitely use Jennifer again for cat sitting.”
“Val was super nice and communicative! We loved reading the updates and seeing all the pictures. It’s always hard leaving the cats, but she made us feel like they were safe and cared for.”

“Jordan is magical. She got my feral cat’s trust and was able to pet her (the kitty does not allow me to touch her)! Jordan provided such good care to my kitties and her daily reports were very sweet. Thank you Jordan!”
“Michael is super kind and responsive. He’s been great with my difficult cat - has been very patient and understanding that she takes a long time to warm up to people. Michael is reliable and a trustworthy pet sitter. Looking forward to him checking in on my cat again!”
“We recently adopted a kitten who needed human socialization. We had Dunks on a good trajectory and Dani did a great job while we were on our trip. She also helped Logan, our older cat, feel like he was still important too! We came home to two incredibly happy cats!”
“My year-old kitties had never had a drop-in sitter before. They warmed up quickly and were playing with Katelyn after a day or two. I was happy to see pictures every day, well-fed happy cats when I returned home - and a clean litter box too. Thanks, Katelyn!”
“Robin, thank you so much for giving me peace of mind. It’s always hard to leave my home and my pets behind when I travel, but it’s easier when I have full confidence that you’ve got things well at hand. Even my bossy indoor outdoor cat! I know that things went well, because the cats were incredibly chill when I gor back. 🙌👏🏆 Thank you!”

“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Our Cockapoo pup had a wonderful time with Jess and her family. She kept me up to date on Coco’s activities through the day with pictures and communication. Will definitely use Jess to board Coco in the future.”

“Jamie was great! Was flexible with an early pickup, communicated quickly, and took good care of our pup. Benji immediately made himself at home and seemed sad to go, he enjoyed his time with Jamie and Sammie.”
About: I only board one dog at a time so your dog will have an unmatched experience with me and my sweet pup, Tina! I work from home full time, so your dog will always have company, structure, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We live just minutes from the arboretum which means long, enriching walks are part of our daily routine. My pup, Tina, is 4 years old and very chill. She loves having a friend around and I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and at home and making sure they get the care and affection they deserve.
“Jacqueline was great. She watched our dog while we went to a show in town and even though it was only a few hours she sent us photos and took him outside twice! She definitely made him feel comfortable enough to quiet down and snuggle. Would recommend her if you need a dog sitter in the Boston area!”
“Nick C was a terrific host to our dog and appreciate the great communication. Nick provided wonderful care and highly recommend!!! Thanks again Nick and look forward to booking more times in the future🐾🐾🐾🐾”

“Erin was absolutely amazing with Milo! I felt confident leaving my puppy with her because I knew he was in good hands. Such a great experience for my first time booking on Rover!”
“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”
“My dog Wally had a great time with Alexandra and her dog! Alexandra took great care of him, sent lots of pictures, and was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!”

“Mickey was awesome. I was so nervous leaving my pup for the first time, he was very reassuring and sent me lots of updates and pictures of her throughout the day. She was a little hesitant at first but was able to relax into her fun loving silly self pretty quickly. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my pup 🥰”

“Allison was fantastic! She responded to our last-minute request right away and arrived exactly on time. She took great care of our dog, sent us adorable photos, and kept us updated during the walk. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We will absolutely be using Allison again and highly recommend her!”

“Had a great first experience using this dog walker. We did a quick meet/greet before the scheduled walk that went well. Will definitely use for future walks!”
“Angelina was great with our dogs and I was nervous at first because of our breed of the 2 dogs and the size of our bigger dog most people are afraid of pits or are not to fond of them but she handled it very well. Did everything she was supposed to plus more. She was super kind and patient and our dogs loved her instantly. She provided great communication also. I wouldn’t know what we would have done without her while we were out of town but she gave me some relief. This was my first time and experience with the app and I loved it. I would rebook Angelina if I ever need assistance with Brick and Yola again. No matter the height or weight of a dog it didn’t scare her off , nor the excessive barking at times and the fact they love to jump on people lol. She was genuine and loved every moment from my understanding.”
“Jose came through in a pinch and was responsive, professional and courteous. Most importantly, our came home happy and exercised. Will book again + highly recommend!”
“David is awesome with handling puppies, adults and dogs who are more anxious. Our dog gets so excited to see David everytime he comes. David does a great job of tiring them out and giving them opportunities to be social and get play time with other dogs.”
“Maeve was excellent. She was always on time to get Copley and he very much look forward to the walks. She also took very great pictures of their outings which were awesome to see.”
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 :)
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for most of my life. I raised, trained, and took care of 2 very different dogs of my own starting 7 years ago. One of them is a rescue with his own specific needs and quirks so I am experienced with reactive and nervous dogs. I also have cared for many other people’s dogs. I’ve walked and care of senior dogs and helped with their unique care needs. I am attentive, responsible, and genuinely enjoy building bonds with the animals I care for. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you are away. I am currently a part time retail worker, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule for carrying for your animals. I am available for walks and in home visits everyday of the week, and I am flexible and easy to reach to set up the exact plan for your animals. I am very aware that each and every pet are very different. That’s why I am attentive and detail oriented in order to properly care for your pet in the way that it needs.
“Nancy was great with my Setter Georgie! Many people say they'll treat your pup like he/she was theirs. Nancy truly does that! She is quick to respond, on time and my Setter loves his walks with her.”
About: Hi there! My name is Sophie and I am a law student here in Boston. I am a huge animal lover and have been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have two cats of my own and also have experience owning and caring for dogs, fish, reptiles, birds, and other animals. In addition to pet sitting, I will do whatever you need done around the house while you are away, such as bringing in mail and watering plants. Whatever you need done, I'm your guy. I am currently a full time student, so my schedule is flexible to accommodate your pets' needs. Let me know what you need and I can work around you! I am dependable and will follow your instructions to the T. You will find your home and furry friend just as you left them if not better!
