I really appreciated the care and patience she showed. I will definitely be using Jodi again for my future travel plans. Highly recommend!”

About: I have grown up around all kinds of animals, most notably my two dogs (15 + 16 years old) who have taught me how to take care of animals. I have also taken care of cats and family/friends dogs. I have a background in healthcare which can help me care for animals with medical conditions. I love all animals and will make sure all animals i take care of will be given plenty of love and care. Currently I am finishing up my spring semester, but i will be free during the summer most day, except for when i go to work (maximum 4 hours a day). After finals my week days will be pretty open and flexible. Dogs are welcome in my home because my three roommates and i all have dogs at home and are able to take care of the dogs when one of us is unable. the dog will be taken on walks and be surrounded by love and attention. The dogs will be fed per their schedule and be active during the day accompanying me on my daily activities.

“Su did an incredible job with watching Sydney while I was overseas for a week! He sent daily updates about how she was doing and plenty of pictures too. He took her for multiple walks a day, kept her on a consistent routine, and spent a lot of quality time with her outside in the back yard. Syd looked so relaxed and calm every day of her stay, I could tell she felt safe and happy with Su. Would book again with him in a heartbeat!”
“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”

Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.”
“Kaelyn was able to book my dog stella for boarding on short notice. I also mistakenly entered the wrong start date but she was able to accommodate me a day earlier, which I very much appreciated. My dog seemed to get along well with her adorable little pup. Thank you, Kaelyn”

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.”
“Dani has taken care of Gambit and Logan many times before joining rover. She has been able to give Gambit his medication when he needed it. She quickly learned their quirks and ensures they get personalized attention when she comes by (Gambit likes to sit on the patio for a few minutes and Logan loves to play). Her love for animals is strong. We will continue to usw Dani!”
“Michael supported me beautifully while I was on vacation. The feeding situation for my furry friends was tricky but he handled like a pro! Additionally, they are much happier than they were when I left so he did something for them. I recommend Michael highly.”
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!
“Having Jadeth as a cat sitter truly alleviated my anxiety about leaving my cat. She was super attentive, understanding, and responsive throughout the whole duration. Jadeth even offered to come more often after she realized that Esme was feeling a lot of separation anxiety from being left on her own. I am so grateful for Jadeth and hope she can catsit for Esme 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.”

“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!”
“Emma was a lifesaver! We needed to book hour of and Emma responded right away. We were not aware our Airbnb did not permit pets to stay unsupervised, we were only in Boston for the day and needed to find daycare in a hurry. Emma was responsive, kind and took great care of our dog. Super appreciative and highly recommend if in the area:)”

About: Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone around, I'm happy to adapt to their needs and give them lots of attention and care! I've owned many different animals and taken care of them (different breeds, personalities, species, sizes, and ages). I am a long-time dog owner, with one living in Boston with me. I can walk, feed, entertain, and dog sit/watch any breed! I have experience with senior dog care as well, since a previous dog I owned battled cancer and was almost 10 years old (100 pound English Cream Golden Retriever named Nikko). I'm very flexible, responsive, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am a recent college graduate that is studying for the LSAT, but I am available during the day for long periods of time during most (if not all) days of the week. I am very flexible! I would make sure your dog has plenty of toys, water, attention, and exercise as needed and requested. I will ensure your pet is well cared for!
“Caroline was fantastic with our dog! She was very caring and gave him plenty of outdoor time with nice long walks. We really appreciated the few photos she sent us throughout the day too showing us that our dog was happy and well looked after. She is super easy to communicate with and very kind. We absolutely plan to use her services again soon! Thank you Caroline”
About: While I am new to these services professionally, I grew up with 4 small dogs (all at once!) and have lots of experience with senior and disabled dogs. Most comfortable with small to medium sized. Starting April 25th, I am completely free for services at almost any time of day! This is my free summer time as a student, but my schedule will change stating July when I begin work. I will update my calendar accordingly! I am always attentive to needs or concerns. I have a 650 sq ft apartment with plenty of parks and places for walking nearby. No crates, no other roommates but I stay home most of the day.

About: Since I can remember, I have always been an animal lover. There has never been a time in my life when I haven't had a dog or was helping to care for a friend or neighbor's dog. In 2003 while living alone in New York City, I adopted an 8-week-old pit bull / Lab mix who I was lucky enough to have in my life for 16 years! Lexie was the most loyal and loving dog, and my experience raising him encouraged me to help other dogs in need. After moving home to Boston in 2004, I started volunteering for the Milton Animal Shelter and MSPCA, walking dogs and helping to clean their cages. I also joined a local pit bull rescue where I would work at various adoption events, conduct home visits for potential adoptees, and speak to elementary classes about dog safety and how to be compassionate towards animals. I also completed a week-long course at the Boston Animal Rescue League to help shelter volunteers get a better understanding about the individual personality and needs of the dogs in their care. In 2014 I started a dog walking business on the side which was very rewarding. I had 3-5 dogs I cared for daily and loved the opportunity to work from home as a graphic designer, and get out of the house and play with so many amazing dogs during the afternoon. My husband and I have two children ages 9 and 7, and the most playful, well-tempered 2-year-old Boston Terrier, Rocket. He gets along with all people and dogs and would love another dog or two to play with during the day. Both my husband and I work from home and can assure you that your pet will have all the love, care, and attention it needs while you're away. Please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you, Andrea My husband and I both work from home Monday through Friday and can assure you that your pet will have all the love, care and attention it needs while you're away. They are welcome to roam our home and we have a fenced in yard which they would always be supervised in. We also have a crate if they ever wanted some alone time.
“Sarah was awesome at accommodating a last min walk and was so sweet with my pup. She asked great questions and was nice enough to leave out fresh water for my dog when she left. We look forward to having Sarah help again soon!”
“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.”
“Gabriel is great with our dog. He has taken time to bond with her so she looks forward to their walks. He is also very communicative and will let you know any problems immediately. He is dedicated and will work to solve any problem.”
“Jose has been with me since day 3 of bringing my puppy home, and I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without him! As a teacher with a hectic and unpredictable end-of-year schedule, he’s been incredibly accommodating, reliable, and supportive every step of the way. He not only showed up for every walk, but also kept tabs on my pup and offered helpful advice whenever I needed it. Knowing she was in good hands gave me so much peace of mind. I can’t wait to work with him again in the fall. Thank you Jose!”
“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.”
“Ella has been an outstanding regular dog walker for us, with walk 3 times per week. She is extremely responsive, reliable and friendly and she has gone above and beyond to take excellent care of our dog. Highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”
“Very communicative throughout the session. Cleo and i’s first time using Rover and Kieran made the experience super easy and was very patient with Cleo to ensure she was able to fully utilize her potty break & get her steps in :)”
