“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“Alyson is always amazing watching my cat! He’s had some medical issues lately and she was extremely attentive, followed all my instructions, and gave me constant updates on how he was doing. My trip out of town was much much less stressful thanks to her. I would recommend Alyson for anyone looking to have their cat stay with someone while they are away. Thanks Alyson!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Pretzel had a great time at Alan's! We received lots of photo and video updates during his stay. Pickup and drop off were a breeze. Looking forward to our next booking with Alan for our next trip!”
“Julie is the best!! I was in a tough spot with a flight delay and she was so kind and accommodating helping to drop off my dog and checked in to make sure we got back okay to take care of Willow that that night. I’m sure Willow would have loved if the flight was delayed even more so she could spend more time with Julie because her life seemed full of adventures and love all week. Huge thanks to Julie would definitely love to have her watch willow again!”
“Jing has great communication! She was great with my elderly dog and gave her her medicine when needed. My dog looked happy the entire time and was in a great mood afterwards!”
“Our 10-year-old greyhound had an awesome time staying with Joe while we were up north with family. We will 100% use him again in the future! Easy to work with, communicative, and took good care of Maisey.”
“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!”
“Nalix was great with my boy Bentley, very understanding and a true dog person. I was provided pics, which I always appreciate and was glad to see my boy looked happy. My dog is a senior and Nalix was very patient and kind with him, I felt very assured while I was away for a couple of days.”
“Absolutely AMAZING dog sitter! My original plans for my dog fell through at the last minute and I reached out to 3 other people and TIANYUE was on the last page for whatever reason but I'm glad I stuck it out! Her communication, her updates, and even help with rebooking, all 5 stars! Sad i don't live in Boston anymore because I would easily hand over my baby girl to her!”
“Jess is amazing. She is so patient and kind with our overly energetic husky puppy. She is flexible and able to work with you on your schedule. Highly recommend. Will use her services again!”
“Amazing dog sitters! Lovely family who made my dog feel comfortable immediately. They are great about sharing photos on a daily basis. My dog is always loved as if she is their own when she goes there.”
“Su was amazing and so caring with our senior French bulldog, bulldog. He was very attentive to our dog’s needs and communicated on a regular basis about her well being and food and water consumption. We felt like we had a very good idea of how she was doing while we were away on vacation. We are very grateful for his thoughtfulness- they got into a good rhythm and I think Frances really enjoyed her time with Su!”
“Oscar took great care of our dog, Bella! They were very communicative (+ sent lots of photos and videos of our girl having the best time). The first night Bella had some tummy problems, and they took care of her and communicated throughout the day. She was better by day two! I can’t speak highly enough! Will definitely have Oscar watch Bella again soon!”
“Arianna is awesome. She is very caring and very reliable. She took great care of Leo who is in need of medications for his arthritis. Arianna exceeded my expectations!”

About: Hello :) my name is Elena, I've had the privilege of owning two gorgeous Bombay cats since I was 10 years old. My soul kitty, Sofia, passed away last year, I live with her brother Simon and he is happy and healthy with hyperthyroidism. I have experience with shy cats, friendly cats, administering meds to cats, maintaining rigid feeding schedules, introducing cats to each other—all the care and keeping that comes with cats, I have done! I am also a very clean person: I really try to make sure the cats can have as neat and tidy a space us humans and believe it improves their quality of life! I have many close friends (whose cats are my nieces and nephews) who can vouch for me being a proper cat lady :) Please ask any questions you'd like and tell me about your cat!
“She is the best!!! We’ve used 5 different sitters and Liz is by far the most through and loving sitter. So lucky to have found her. And the cats adore her!”
“This is my third time having Marizol and my cat and myself couldn’t be happier with her. My cat obviously is very fond of her. This particular time, Marizol went way beyond her regular care. There was a snow storm that dropped two feet of snow, the people we hired to shovel the walkway never showed up, she trudged through the snow to take care of the cat, never missing her scheduled care. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”
“I had a pet sitter fall through and Jennifer came to the rescue! I only had about 24 hours before I left for my trip, and Jennifer was able to come do a meet and greet with my cat and pick up a key really quickly. She provided great pictures and updates about my cat while I was away. I’m so appreciative!”
“Mengyao stepped in last minute when our sitter canceled during Christmas. She was incredibly responsive and communicative. She sent lots of great pictures, videos, and updates during her visits. Our pets loved her and were very well cared for. We can’t recommend Mengyao enough! We are looking forward to having her watch our babies again.”
“Victoria stayed at my house for 5 days and cared for my elderly cat, who needs daily medication. She sent frequent updates and photos and took great care of my dear Nanette. She left the house clean and neat. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and recommend her highly.”
“We are so glad to have had Ann-Marie take care of our cats. Even our shy girl felt comfortable to get some pets from her their first time meeting! She communicated wonderfully and sent us so many pictures. Thank you!”
“James was an excellent caregiver for my cat. He came over early to see the house and meet Finbar, sent nice updates and pictures. I would be happy to use his services again.”
“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 .”
“Our cat loved having visits and snuggles and we loved getting updates. Morgan and Meaghan were professional, cordial and so sweet with our cat. We would definitely go with them again.”
“Madison took wonderful care of our elderly asthmatic cat while we were away. Their updates were so thorough; we knew Joan was in great hands! Joan has been shy with other sitters before but took to Madison right away. Will absolutely work with Madison again in the near future!”
“Stephen and his partner Sam were fantastic sitters for our cats Ellie and Glimmer and our sugar glider Arya while we were away! Our cats clearly warmed up to them both very quickly, which was great to see! They were attentive to our pets' needs and spent extra time playing with them after they had eaten. They filled out daily Rover cards with great photos of the our pets as well as a written update on everybody's eating and play time. I trust both Stephen and Sam with our pets' care and would absolutely book them 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.”
“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.”
“Arianna watched my 5 month old puppy for a full day. She was very responsive to all communication and flexible when plans changed at the last minute. He came home happy and relaxed and we would definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Mayu loves getting dropped off to Atticia’s for daycare. She’s walked, fed, rested, and loved all day and comes home ready to knock out. I’m also so happy Mayu has a dog friend with Aurora- I think it’s really helped with her manners and socialization skills. Thank you for all you do, Atticia!”

“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!”
“I was a Nervous parents because it’s first time to use rover but it turns out great experience . Our puppy Totori get to meet good dog friends and bond with Daria as soon as he met her Totori didn’t want to leave her place after day care and that tells us everything ! I will definitely ask her to take care of my puppy again”

“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.”
“Ling and Ye were great with my puppy! I had to work a very, very long day and they were very accommodating with an early drop off and late pick up. They also made me feel comfortable by sending pictures throughout the day to reassure me that she was having a great day. I will definitely hire them again!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner myself, and for the past two years, I’ve had the joy of caring for other people’s dogs. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else, so I want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be cared for, loved, and treated like part of my family while they’re with me. I work from home full-time as a mental health therapist, so I’m able to be around throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have someone nearby to keep them company. I also understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and playtime, while others are happiest snuggling up or simply having someone close by. I take the time to get to know each dog, learn their routines, and help them feel comfortable and at home. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you’re away, like they’re staying with family. Because I work from home full-time, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I am able to give frequent attention, companionship, walks, and care throughout the day. I also have a backyard for your dog to run around and get some play time in. Safety and comfort are very important to me. I love creating a calm, loving, and structured environment where each dog can feel at home. I carefully follow each pet parent's instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty routines, walks, sleeping arrangements, and any other individual needs.

“Jana is amazing!! Since one of my dogs lost his sight Jana has gone above and beyond. She treats your fur babies like they are hers. I'd be lost without her service.”
“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.”
“Kristen was absolutely terrific. Our old dog has to spend long days alone when we are at work and Kristen came to visit her for walks and friendship while we were gone. She always sent wonderful updates about their adventures and was clearly very sweet to our old girl in addition to getting her some exercise. She even brought her a toy and left us a sweet card. I can't say enough about Kristen and how much we appreciated her. I can enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind knowing that their pet will be well loved and cared for.”

“Mengyao is a fantastic walker and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services. We booked her on short notice but even still, she was able to accommodate last minute, was highly communicative, and asked thoughtful questions in advance to make sure she was well equipped to handle my two dogs—one of which can be a difficult walker. On top of that, she put me at ease by sending many videos and photos throughout the walk, which was very much appreciated! We will definitely have Mengyao walk our dogs again.”
“Denzel was excellent! He was very communicative, did everything we asked, and was very patient and kind when our pup was initially nervous when he came over. He kept us informed and sent pictures. We would definitely recommend him and will be reaching out again!”
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.
“Arianna was amazing with Thor and sent us a lot of pictures from their walks! She was on time every day and provided a great report card after each walk. We highly recommend her!”

I’m available to accommodate your needs and your pet’s routine, whether it’s a morning stroll or an afternoon adventure. I treat every pet with the same affection and care I give Ruby, ensuring they get the best of both worlds – exercise and companionship. I also love meeting cats and am excited to do check-ins! I am currently working from home so I am very flexible. I am a huge dog lover and I would love a reason to get out of the apartment. I am a big fan of doing whatever pace a dog wants, sometimes it’s a long slow walk to with stops to stimulate the brain and sometimes it’s more of a jog.
“Daisy took amazing care of our pup! She took her for daily walks while we were away. She was prompt, caring, and gave wonderful updates! Will definitely be using Daisy’s services again.”

I have reliable transportation and am a Boston native I have a fenced in yard and live very close to walking trails and a park.
