As a first time pet parent, I felt very comforted that my cat was in kind and safe hands.

“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: My name is Dave, A mobile gym for the dogs, and make sure they get more than enough exercise. Generally I do group sessions with pups and have them socialize/play. Although I do 1 on 1 sessions as well! I love dogs, cats, and all animals. I grew up with a half black lab half rottweiler. I'll treat your animals as if they were my own. My availability is open during most weeks. Please contact me with any other question you may have. I’m currently working weekends and have open availability during the week between 10am-6pm. I’ll have plenty of time during the day to take animals on walks to local parks. After going over with the pet owners on their animal/s behaviors, I follow their guidelines on how to take care of the pet/s best. Going on walks, playing in parks, or just keeping the animals company in home.
“Dayna is great!! I've been sending Penny to doggy daycare with her twice a week for almost a year now and I have nothing but good things to say. She sends pictures throughout the day which are so fun to receive and she's very accommodating and flexible with scheduling.”

“Our first Roover experience for us and we are so happy about Vienna's stay! Jim and his four years old little boy took amazing care of her and shared some cute videos at the park playing with her favorite ball over the day. We felt super relieved to see that she had a great day and was not too difficult (2 year old high energy golden at home and we were a bit anxious to give her away for a day). Everything went really well and we can't recommend enough Jim! We will use him again next time we need it! :)”
“Katie was so amazing with our anxious dachshund Willow. She made time for a meet and greet before her first visit and Willow warmed up to her so quickly (and that is no small feat!)”
“Emily is an incredible sitter and we feel lucky to have found her. Our boy is still a puppy and she knew just how to handle him. It’s great to pick him up and see how happy he is and how many fun adventures Emelly has taken him on throughout the day. We really trust Emelly and highly recommend her.”
“Lauren was amazing! She was super communicative, kind, and took great care of my dog. I felt completely at ease, and my pup came back happy and relaxed. Highly recommend her!”
“Anastasia did an amazing job looking after Pearl! Traveling from out of state and she made me feel so comfortable leaving Pearl for the day when I needed to work. Took loads of photos to keep me updated. Will definitely be booking again when back in Boston.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets and has volunteered with animal shelters since childhood. As a former dog mom to my late min pin, I’m experienced with managing anxious or reactive dogs, oral medications, food allergies, and other special needs. I adore all pets, but have a soft spot for seniors and little guys. 🐕 I’m conveniently located between Back Bay & South End and WFH full-time. I work from home full-time and can provide a high and personalized level of care and attention to your animal during the week or on weekends! I take care of every animal as if they were my own and follow owner instructions to a tee. In my home, I have stairs if an animal needs assistance getting on the bed or couch and have a crate that comfortably fits medium sized dogs or smaller. I do live up several flights of stairs, so please let me know if your pet would need to be carried down for walks.
“Quinn had such great care, played well with his Goldens, a little pack of three. Great communication, loved getting photos and video of her day. Always felt at ease. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi, I’m Sophia — a lifelong animal lover and trusted pet care partner. Growing up in a home with three (or more!) dogs at a time, I’ve always had a deep bond with animals. Friends and family used to call me Dr. Dolittle because animals naturally gravitate toward me — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve been the go-to sitter for years, caring for dogs big and small, energetic and elderly. I work remotely, so your pup gets constant companionship, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m just steps from the beach and local parks for daily walks and adventures. Being trusted with someone’s pet isn’t something I take lightly — I take real pride in being reliable, responsive, and loving. Whether it’s a weekend stay or daily drop-ins, I’m here to give your dog the same level of care and comfort they get at home. Let’s give your pup a tail-wagging good time — and give you total peace of mind! I work remotely, which means your dog gets plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m just steps from a beach and park — perfect for walks, fetch, and sniffing adventures. Can do scheduled drop ins at your house, daily walks or board in-home. I provide personalized, attentive care whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, calm environment with plenty of love and supervision. I work remotely, so they’re rarely alone, and we stick to their usual routines as closely as possible. Pets are always free to relax where they’re most comfortable — whether that’s on the couch, their bed, or my lap! In a client’s home, I aim to be a seamless extension of your routine. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding and potty breaks to medications and playtime. I always respect your space and strive to leave your home just as I found it — or better. No matter the setting, my focus is on keeping pets safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

“David was great, he took my dog for long walks, played fetch, and even during the Christmas holidays he spent quality time making sure my dog was well taken care of. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats throughout my life. I am a huge animal person. My family always has said I have a special bond with animals they always love me! I’d love to watch your pets during my time off! I am very consistent, timely and respectful. I am currently not working as I am searching for a job after graduating from my masters program! So I have lots of time on my hands. I’ll give your pet lots of love and care. I will listen to any reccomendations or specifications from their parents to best support and comfort them on their days alone.
“Great walkers :)) so friendly and accommodating. I appreciate when a walker does their best to do long distance walks in 30 minutes. In a dream world, I’d love to pay for an hour but just can’t afford it right now, so having a walker that is putting in the effort, means so much. Nothing better than a tired dog!”
“Anna was wonderful! My dog loved his time with her and was well looked after. I could tell Anna really loves animals and gives them lots of love when she has them in her care.”
“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.”
“Geena was great with Blackjack. He clearly looked well and happy. The photos and updates she sent were reassuring. She was responsive and accommodating with last minute requests and schedule changes.”
About: What sets me apart is how much patience and attention I give to every pet I care for. I take the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs instead of treating every pet the same. I’m especially comfortable caring for cats and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m also willing to learn and follow any specific instructions an owner gives me so their pet can get the same care they’re used to. I have open availability during the week and weekends that also includes holidays and special occasions. This makes sure I can fit pet care within my day to day schedule. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, playtime, cleaning up, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure to respect each pet’s personality and give them space when they need it. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.
“Owen was friendly and dependable. We went on vacation and Owen was able to interface with my mother in law to walk our husky. I would recommend Owen to anyone and will use his services again in the future.”
“Emma was an awesome walker! Great communication, prompt arrival, detailed report and could tell my pup was well taken care of. Would and will book again!”
“Meghan was awesome! I needed a last minute walker, and she was super response and extremely communicative throughout the whole thing. I would definitely use her again! Highly recommend :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my friends and family and love to play, walk, feed or just hang out with them! I used to dog walk every week at a shelter growing up and had fun taking dogs of all size! I am currently in-between jobs so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I can be a sitter in your house if you need someone to feed and play with them or I can take them out on walks. My cat back home is super needy and always needs pets so I’m used to giving lots of love. I always attend to her needs and will do the same with your pets!
About: I've had many pets throughout my life and have found their presences to be some of the most genuine and loving in this world. Through my childhood, adolescence and adulthood the moments that have stuck out to me as the most memorable and enjoyable have been shared with animals. From the pets I've had that graced me with their lives, and all the pets I've watched for friends and family — nothing brings me more joy than the animals in my life. I work from home as an online tutor which gives me all day to take care of and play with the fur babies I watch here on Rover. I'm a single mom and share my home with my adult daughter who works as a registered behavioral technician. We are a family of animal lovers and people who genuinely care about the health and well being of all the animals that come into our home. I always ensure no food is left out, no sharp or dangerous items are ever within an animals reach, and am welcoming of nearly every animal into my home. From little kittens, to large pitbulls, I've watched and cared for them all!
“Bethany is the best! My two large girls love her. We have a pitbull and rottie and she takes them both out at once and they have a blast! She is on time, rain or shine and has been a vital part of our lives over the past few months. Thank gosh for Bethany! 💕”
“Grace is the absolute best!! She took such great care of our golden retriever Henry. We always could count on Grace’s communication, availability and kindness. We would recommend Grace to any dog parents look for a consistent and reliable dog walker. Your dog will be in perfect hands ♥️”
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.
