“Jess and her family were AMAZING with Jack and Mazie - long walks, alot of cuddles - both my dogs came home happy and it was clear they felt safe and comfortable. Thank you all!”
“Jodi was great with Champ! She made him feel right at home and treated him like part of the family. Champ had dog friends to play with, went on walks, and got plenty of attention. It was clear he was happy and comfortable the entire time. Champ usually has a hard time staying with others, but Jodi made the experience easy and stress-free for him. I really appreciated the care and patience she showed. I will definitely be using Jodi again for my future travel plans. Highly recommend!”
“Dana was great!! Keep me updated with photos, and daily on how my bella was doing. Took her on plenty of walks, and made sure she was well fed, while we were on vacation. Definitely would book again!!!”
“Jing was a terrific host! Our 1.5 year old mini bernadoodle was in great hands with Jing, Jeremy and their dog Jojo. We were so grateful for making our first Rover experience a positive one.”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
“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.”
“Luna really had a great week with Alyson! I highly recommend her. She sent is daily updates. She took special care of our cat. The transition back home has been amazing. Hoping she will be our cat sitter forever!”
“Casey was very welcoming and loving when our dog arrived. Would happily send her back to Casey who is experienced with dogs and detailed in sending us updates on our dog's stay.”
“I would highly recommend Julie. She watched my golden retriever for a weekend while I was out of town. She send frequent updates and photos which I loved. Julie clearly loves dogs very much and that is evident in how well she takes care of them.”
“Thank you for taking care of Doodle -she’s not the easiest dog to handle but thank you for being so incredibly responsible, always on time, and cares for her well-being. I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter!”
“Kayla was amazing!! She was so responsive and communicative and sent me lots of update and pictures, which was great. It was clear Honey had a great time there and felt very comfortable. It was a relief to not have to worry at all and felt safe knowing she was in good hands.”
“Whitney and David welcomed Koyuki again this time. They always care for her as if she were part of their own family. We can leave our dog with them with complete peace of mind every time.”
“Sarah and her family went above and beyond durin our senior dog’s recent stay. From daily walks and snuggles to administering medication and a special diet, Sarah made us feel comfortable leaving our pup. We so appreciated the daily videos and pictures and the opportunity to meet with Sarah beforehand. And it was no problem when she had to refill one of our dogs medications. Truly heroic! Thank you, thank you, for everything! Buddy loved his stay with you!”
“Our dog had a great time with Dan and his dog Annie. We were able to drop her off pretty last minute too so I couldn’t recommend Dan enough if you need a dog sitter!”
“Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.”
“Alan and Ying took care of our dog like their own. From drop off to pickup everything was smooth and easy to communicate. We were updated daily with messages, photos and videos. We cannot be more then happy and will definitely leave our dog with them again.”
“Tianyue was awesome every step of the way. This was our first time using Rover and we have never left Bailey with anybody before, so we were apprehensive. Tianyue was very sweet and sent lots of videos. We would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you Tianyue for everything!”
“Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!”

“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 .”
“Valerie was great with our puppy Blue! She was easy to communicate with, and took really great care of him. We were very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend her.”
“Jadeth was such a wonderful sitter for our cat George over the Christmas holiday! She was prompt, thorough in her write-ups, and sent tons of photos and videos that helped give us peace of mind while we were away. She took time to play with George and keep him active, and he seemed to warm to her quickly. It was evident in her visit summaries how much Jadeth enjoyed her time with our boy, which was a huge comfort for us. We'll definitely be reaching out to Jadeth again!”
About: Although dogs were my first love, I became much more of a cat person in adulthood and began cat sitting regularly for friends in 2019. I was finally able to get my own kitty, Kali, in 2021 - Kali taught me how to be a cat mom, and also taught me about the complexities of senior cat care (thyroid issues, dietary restrictions, twice-daily pilling, etc.). Kali passed at age 12 in 2025, and shortly after I adopted Biscuit (2 years old) and Waffles (5 years old). I also occasionally cat sit for friends who have a 7 year old cat who needs a daily inhaler - there’s not much I haven’t done when it comes to medically complex kitties! I’m less experienced with kittens, but I’m excited to help care for your adult cats, whatever their needs!
“Jose did such a wonderful job caring for our cats while we were away. Even if they were rather shy and rarely showed their faces, Jose ensured we were kept apprised of any activity to ensure they were alive and well. This is such a huge thing for us. We would absolutely recommend his services to cat families in the area.”
“Michael was attentive and left detailed reports for each cat every day I was away. He also sent some great pictures of the kittens. He was flexible and worked with me around my changing schedule and a roommate moving in, which I'm very grateful for! It was my first time using Rover and Michael definitely left a good first impression of the service through his excellent communication and attention to detail.”
“Ange was absolutely wonderful. She was very communicative and always quick to respond to messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She sent photos and a thoughtful summary after each visit, something we truly appreciated. We came home to a clean house and, most importantly, happy and healthy cats. We would definitely book Ange again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Tommy did an exceptional job caring for my two fussy cats for 6 days! My cats both need medicine and extra care every day and Tommy was consistent, reliable, and a great communicator. I can tell my cats were well cared for while I was away. Thanks so much Tommy!”
“I recommend Robin to everyone!! She is extremely professional and caring and made us very comfortable leaving our cat with her for two weeks. Robin was thorough in preparing for our kitty’s stay and kept us in the loop while we were out of the country. We received several videos and pictures daily, along with updates of how our cat was doing. We will absolutely book with Robin again! We could not have asked for a better experience!!”
“I was so grateful to have had Tibisay watch my cats while I was out of the country for 2 weeks. From the sweet pictures and videos she shared to the way I found my cats when I arrived home, it is clear my cats were well cared for and loved while I was away. Thank you and I would recommend Tibi to other pet owners.”
“Jennifer was fantastic! Incredible nice, accommodating, quick to respond and—most importantly—so sweet & caring toward our cat. We highly recommend working with Jennifer & plan to keep doing so ourselves :)”
“Katherine took care of my two cats when I was out of town for a weekend. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She was very responsive and communicative about her visits. Even though I had no preference over timing, every morning she let me know what time she would stop by. After every visit she sent pictures and a written note of how the cats behaved and what food she gave them or what toys she had them play with. She was super patient with my shy kitten, who was getting over an upset tummy at the time. She gave him the probiotics as instructed and managed to get pictures even when he hid under the bed, and by day three he had warmed up to her! I definitely felt she took care of them as if they were her own cats, would book her again without a doubt.”
“Victoria took great care of my elderly cat, who needs daily medication. She dealt with some out-of-the-litter-box messes and even went to the vet to pick up additional medication. She kept notes and left the house clean and neat. She sent photos and updates and was very responsive. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again for drop-in or housesitting.”
About: I am a cat mother of 2 and have experience working at pet boarding facilities as well. I am patient with all animals & genuinely love working with them.
“Jordan was a great sitter while we were gone. He kept me updated with photos and notes and took great care of our kitties. He was very kind to our pets and respectful of our home, I would absolutely book with him again. Thank you Jordan!”
“Thanks for visiting with the cats while we were away. They were so well taken care of. When we got home I could really tell they are very comfortable with Jess! Great job as always.”

“Jess is absolutely great . She was able to accommodate to our last-minute request for daycare for our dog Bruno and was very understanding of our dog’s needs. She kept sending pictures and updates which gave us piece of mind during these times when our dog needs to be monitored. We’re looking forward for Bruno’s next boarding stay with Jess.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine commitment to the well-being of every pet and my ability to adapt to their individual needs, treating them as if they were part of my own family. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs and cats. With puppies, I help reinforce basic training routines such as potty training, leash walking, and early obedience, always using patience and positive reinforcement. With senior pets, I am especially attentive to their pace, mobility, diet, and medication if needed, providing them with calm, consistent, and gentle care. In addition, I am very observant of animal behavior, which allows me to quickly notice any changes in their mood or health. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and accompanied at all times, while maintaining clear and consistent communication with their owners. More than just pet care, I offer trust, affection, and responsibility. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets during the day. I can easily adapt to each pet’s needs, whether it’s visits, walks, or in-home care. I am mainly available on weekdays and can also plan for weekends with advance notice. When caring for pets in my home or in the owner’s home, I make sure to carefully follow all instructions. I maintain their feeding, walking, and rest routines, and provide attention, affection, and a calm environment. I am very mindful of their safety, cleanliness, and well-being, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times.
“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!”
“Kayla took great care of Ruby while dog sitting. She provided plenty of updates and my pup had fun day with Kayla and her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kayla again for sitting!”

“Ann-Marie has been watching my little guy Ollie and she has been the best. She has been allowing me to work in peace. She cares for him like her own and I would recommend her to anyone.”
“As a new dog mom I was hesitant to leave my puppy with a sitter. But I am happy to say that Atticia made me feel very comfortable. She responded to messages in a timely manner and kept me informed with pictures and videos throughout his stay. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I would be great person to take care/watch your dog because I don’t treat pets like any regular animal they are like kids they need to be loved and taken care of just like any other human being. My whole life growing up I have been around nothing but dogs mainly and I always grow a different bond with every single one of them as if they were my own,I’m different from other sitters because to me it’s not just about money but I would love to have all the new experiences I can get with many different dogs all shapes and sizes, I can learn a lot of new things and even help train your dog with things they haven’t even learned yet. I’m currently a stay at home mom finishing up with school so I will have plenty of free time to still love and care for your pet. I have a small yard but also closed in parks that your dog can run around and still be free in. Also while inside I treat all dogs like my own so they would have the same routines just like they were right at home no one likes new changes so fast.
“Great experience working with Kayla! Kind and courteous, ia great communicator, and committed to giving my dog Eddie a happy and active day. Also, her goldens are adorable with beautiful temperaments, making them wonderful playmates. I’m sure Eddie will be visiting Kayla again!”
“Alan took excellent care of my young dog who is something of an escape artist. Pilot enjoyed his time with Alan and I enjoyed knowing that Pilot was happy and safe.”
“Blair was everything we could have hoped for! She took great care of our dog Leo and took him on 2 walks during his day with her. She was super responsive and sent great photos. We will definitely continue to use Blair for any daycare needs in the future!”
“Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. 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.”
About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.
“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.”
“Tianyue was wonderful with my dog! Very caring, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I felt comfortable leaving my pup in their care and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!”

“Lauren was so nice and friendly and so good with Cookie. She came thru in a pinch and I am so grateful. Cookie was so happy to see her! I will rebook with Lauren!”
“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.”
“Jasmine was great! She was very attentive to Theo and made sure to carry him up and down the stairs to avoid injury, gave him his food and washed his paws after the walk. I highly recommend Jasmine as a dogwalker! I will be requesting another dog walk from her soon.”
“Nancy stepped in with short notice to cover for my usual dog walker. She was very responsive and even made time for a meet and greet with my pup before the scheduled week of dog walking. She checked in daily, sent pics and was super detailed in her describing her outings and play with my good boy. I highly recommend Nancy and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Tavery was awesome with our dog! We had a last minute need for a dog walker and she was available. She provided great updates on an our pup! We'll definitely request her again.”
About: I have been a pet sitter for a couple years! Also, I have volunteered and interned at a veterinary hospital these experiences helped me become more informed on pet care. My main priority is providing your pet with the best care!! I will clean water bowl, provide fresh food and any further needs . I currently work a full time job but typically free Monday anytime before 8am and then again after 6:30pm, Tuesday and Thursday anytime from 9-11:30am and then again after 4pm, Wednesday, and Friday anytime from 7-1:30pm. For Saturday anytime in the day works for me and for Sunday anytime before 6am and then again at 3:30pm. My main priority is comfort making sure you are comfortable with entrusting your pet in my care and making sure your pet is comfortable with me. I will do this by allowing the pet to become familiar with me so they aren’t scared and providing treats as well as playful sessions to get them comfortable.
“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.”
“She was amazing! Our dog is very active and excitable and she handled him well. Also- we requested that she come at a specific time and she was right on time everyday. Great pictures and kept us updated on his demeanor. We will use her again. Highly recommend.”
“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!”

About: I've owned and cared for a Boston Terrier(Bosco) the past 6 years and counting. Those who are familiar with the breed understand both the physical and mental energy it takes to keep up.

During these months I am available anytime after 12:30PM until 5:30PM Monday through Friday as I am working part time in the Greater Boston area. On Saturday's, I am available any time after 10AM until 6PM. I will provide a safe, relaxing, and mentally stimulating environment for your dog! Whether it be if your pet likes to lay around all day or enjoys play time(or both), they will be in good hands.
About: I’ve owned pets of all kinds growing up and naturally love animals. I’m responsible and have experience caring for animals, I do have pets and many family with pets. I will make sure I’m monitoring my request and a give a same day response as to my availability. I do work part time so it’s possible this may affect availability. I love to pet and play with animals, every animal is different though so I make sure to be aware of body language. Whatever the animal needs I’m there wether it’s walks, play, or usually attention
About: I have Volunteered at Angel Memorial through High School. I have Experience with Dogs Ranging from Pups to Elderly dogs. And Except All Breeds ( Pitbulls and Chihuahuas!!) . I am very familiar and ok with dogs who are very active/loud,pulling,nipping aswell jump! 🙂 I have a very Flexible work schedule and love to use it to spend time with things I absolutely love especially furry friends! I also love walks!! I feed when scheduled I make sure to get all rules your dog follows on a daily. Makes sure i secure all doors that need to be.
About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.
“Although our schedules didn't match to do a meet and greet beforehand, Kathleen was reliable and right on time to walk our puppy. She left fantastic notes and pictures in Rover for us, and we know our pup had a fantastic time with her. Her communication is excellent, and we would/will happily use her again!”
About: I have never owned my own dog or cat (due to brothers allergies) so I grew up determined to find ways to hang out with other peoples! I’ve watched dogs and cats of all types/ages/personalities. I hope I get the chance to meet your furry friend! I’m currently unemployed, training for a Pilates instructor certification and so I have ample time to look after, feed, and play with the pets! I keep a very clean apartment, with an extra deep clean before pets arrive to ensure nothing is stepped on or eaten, I have ample space for the pet to have their own area or hang out with me and not feel cramped.

“Kayla was amazing!! She was so responsive and communicative and sent me lots of update and pictures, which was great. It was clear Honey had a great time there and felt very comfortable. It was a relief to not have to worry at all and felt safe knowing she was in good hands.”
“Sarah and her family went above and beyond durin our senior dog’s recent stay. From daily walks and snuggles to administering medication and a special diet, Sarah made us feel comfortable leaving our pup. We so appreciated the daily videos and pictures and the opportunity to meet with Sarah beforehand. And it was no problem when she had to refill one of our dogs medications. Truly heroic! Thank you, thank you, for everything! Buddy loved his stay with you!”
“Our dog had a great time with Dan and his dog Annie. We were able to drop her off pretty last minute too so I couldn’t recommend Dan enough if you need a dog sitter!”
“Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.”
“Alan and Ying took care of our dog like their own. From drop off to pickup everything was smooth and easy to communicate. We were updated daily with messages, photos and videos. We cannot be more then happy and will definitely leave our dog with them again.”
“Tianyue was awesome every step of the way. This was our first time using Rover and we have never left Bailey with anybody before, so we were apprehensive. Tianyue was very sweet and sent lots of videos. We would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you Tianyue for everything!”
“Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!”

We both have experience with various different breeds from chihuahua, pitbulls, australian shepherds, and huskies! Each of the dogs we cared for had different levels of energy and ages from puppy to senior. 💕I love the pure love and kindness that dogs show towards people! And it is a joy to get to cuddle and hang out with them! -Jadeth 💕My favorite thing about dogs is that no matter what, when you need them they’ll be there. -Noah ⭐️We both have experience with administering medications, managing special diets, and providing care for cats as well! We are both online college students with a ton of extra time to care for your furry friend! Drop-In Visits: We offer drop-in visits every day of the week! -We recommend 60 min visits for dogs that require walks longer than 20mins so there is still time for in-home play/care, or households with several pets (more than 3)! Dog Walking: We offer dog walking every day of the week! -This includes basic meal feedings and water bowl refills as well, but majority of the time will be spent outside! House Sitting: Noah offers house sittings every day of the week! -Please let us know if you would like 24/7 care at your home or if leaving the home for meals, errands, or a quick run home is appropriate with your pet's needs! Pet Boardings: We offer boardings every day of the week! -We prefer about a 2 weeks notice for pet boardings, due to the schedule adjustments they may bring! -We have 2 cats in the home that are typically friendly with other cats or low energy small-medium dogs! -If your dog or cat is not friendly with other cats, we do have a gate that divides up the house so both parties have their own space! Doggy Daycare: We offer doggy daycare every day of the week! -Please let us know if your dog prefers to be alone rather than with other dogs, so we can schedule accordingly! We care for your pets as if they are our own! We prioritize meeting their needs and wants, and making your fur baby feel safe and loved. We follow their food, medication, and potty break routines closely! We do not smoke our the home and have only pet-safe plants around the house! And we will send check-in photos and texts during our visits, boardings, sittings, and walks!
“Ashley was terrific. I am a highly anxious dog mommy and I felt that Bertie was in safe, loving, and skilled hands. Ashley’s two dogs couldn’t have been sweeter or more welcoming to our pup, either. Ashley has a great backyard that’s well fenced and she sends lots of pictures and videos. We will definitely be returning for future dog-sitting needs. Thanks, Ashley!”
“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.”
“Tyler and Caroline did a great job caring for Archie!! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. They sent thoughtful daily updates and photos that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Drew was the perfect fit for our 70 lb pup, Leroy! He went above and beyond and really accommodated Leroy’s needs. He is a very energetic boy and Drew took him on miles of hikes to tire him out. He got along well with Drew’s two dogs and we received lots of photos/videos during the stay. Would 100% recommend and would love to rebook in the future next time we need a sitter. Thanks again Drew!”
