“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him.

It was such a relief knowing that our little guy was in good hands while we were gone. Will be booking again in the future :)”
“We could not have chosen a better sitter for our puppy! We needed last minute care for our 10 month old pup as we were coming from out of town, and Zwany and Leandro made everything seamless all while taking the best care of our girl. They sent lots of photo and video updates and I could tell she was in trusting hands. On top of that, we needed to extend her stay last minute and they were so accommodating for all of our needs. We will definitely be bringing our girl there again whenever we’re back in the area! Thank you so much for caring for our pup as if she was your own!”

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.
“Yogi had such a wonderful time! It was obvious how much fun he had and how well cared for he was. Ruya went above and beyond with updates, sending lots of photos and videos. Their communication was excellent, and it was clear they treated our pup like their own. We’re so appreciative and will definitely recommend and book again!”

About: Your pets will be in loving, reliable hands with me. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, giving them so much attention and comfort that they won’t even notice you’re away🥰 I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether your pet requires extra cuddles, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy. When your pet stays in my home, they become part of my family from the moment they walk through the door. I provide a clean, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax, explore, and feel completely comfortable. I have 1 cat. Her name is Emerald she is 2 years old and she is absolutely spoiled. She has her own wall climbing catch tree that she loves and tons of toys.
About: Have years of experience with dog sitting and walking dogs from pitbull puppies to rotweillers to aging shitzus. I will love and care for ur furry friends as deeply as you do. I currently work hybrid, but am a highly active individual and often go for 2-3 walks a day, on top of daily exercises and running/hiking. I don’t have pets of my own. This is partly to scratch the itch of getting a dog permanently. I treat dogs like they’re family. That includes plenty of pets, affection, boundaries when necessary, and treats.
About: Hi! My name is Megan and I’m a passionate dog lover and experienced dog owner. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs because I care for one of my own every day. I provide reliable, attentive, and fun dog walking and sitting services to help keep your pup happy, healthy, and exercised. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks, leisurely strolls, or extra time for sniffing and exploring, I tailor each walk to their comfort level and personality. As a fellow pet parent, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, patience, and care while in my hands. I currently am working as a nurse, and work typically three days a week. The other four days I am home and able to care for your fur baby! I will never accept booking on days I work to ensure they have proper attention throughout the day. I treat each pet that comes into my home as my own! That being said I do have a dog of my own who is very friendly with other animals. I ensure that they are well stimulated throughout the day with walks, chew toys, lick mats etc. I just ask that you give me any details you can to ensure your pet has a great stay/walk!
“Our dog Wally loves spending the day with Katie! Katie has watched Wally for daycare for the past few months and she has always been so kind and easy to communicate with. Wally gets so excited when he realizes he’s spending the day at Katie’s :)”
About: My mother is a dog trainer and boarder, so I have helped take care of dogs and cats ever since I was very young. Growing up on a farm, I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, so I am very equipped to handle your pets and keep them healthy:) I am currently a student with a very flexible schedule, and am able to stop by for visits throughout the day, or do over-night stays close to my school. I am flexible and accomodating, and will follow whatever routine/instructions you give me to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible when you are away!

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life, growing up with all kinds of dogs, from bulldogs to german shepherds. I’m good with high and low energy dogs of all sizes, supplying pets, walks, and treats to make your pups forget how much they miss you! I’m especially experienced with senior dogs and the extra care they require, especially those with limited mobility. Because I work from home your pups will rarely be alone, which helps me stay on top of potty breaks, playtime, and any other needs your pets have! Because I work from home, I am able to take close care of your furry friends. I do like to go to the gym in the morning for about an hour, but am usually in one spot for the rest of the day so your pets won’t be alone and can have all their needs met. I’m happy to take breaks to walk/play. I am very respectful and comfortable in new environments and am happy to work with you and your pet’s needs. I’ve mostly pet-sat in other peoples homes in my hometown, so I am very used to following the guidelines you are comfortable with. I am easily reachable and responsive, and like to send check in photos at your convenience!
“Willow loved her time with Suzanne. Suzanne did a meet-and-greet in advance with us to learn about Willow. Then they spent their walking and playing and Willow was happy to come back and see Suzanne again!”
“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!”
“Emily is so sweet and Evie absolutely loved her! She can be a little skittish and she was immediately at peace with Emily and their sweet dog Auggie. Emily communicated so well and went above and beyond to make the day smooth. I really appreciated it!”

“Jude has been such a wonderful help. She is very dependable, always on time, and amazing with our dog. She is lovely, respectful and great to communicate with. We highly recommend Jude for anyone looking for help with their pets!”
About: I’ve found my love for taking care of pets since I was 4 years old. From caring for my first pet as a child to being an aunt to my best friends cat in PA school, I am highly trusted to provide high quality care and unconditional love for any pet in my presence. My schedule is flexible! I’m a physician assistant, so my weeks are a mix of clinic and administrative work. Depending on my schedule, I’m able to stop by before work, during lunch, or after work. I’m also happy to do stay-ins when needed! My weekends tend to be especially flexible as well, and I’m always happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pets’ needs as much as possible :) My current living space is not equipped to offer care at my home, but I will care for any breed/size/age dog in a client’s home. I am adaptable and willing to do any tasks needed to ensure the pet feels loved, happy, and comfortable.
About: Growing up in a multi-dog household, dogs weren’t just pets to me, but they’re my best friends. I am deeply familiar with the day-to-day realities of dog care and naturally understand canine behavior and routines. For puppies, I seamlessly reinforce house-training, crate routines, and basic manners. For older dogs, I bring the patience needed for senior care, including managing slow mobility and following strict medication schedules. Living with multiple dogs has taught me to read subtle body language, so I know exactly when a dog is anxious, over-stimulated or just needs quiet space. My job provides me a unique schedule that fits perfectly into pet care because I often work weekends, I have dedicated days off in the middle of the week. Additionally I work from home one day a week. This setup gives me exceptions midweek flexibility that a standard 9-5 sitter does not have. On my days off and WFH days, pet care is my primary focus. I am fully available for midday walks, daytime drop in visits, or keeping a house-sitting puppy company without the disruption of a strict office schedule. I update my Rover calendar constantly to reflect my weekly event shifts to ensure availability is always accurate and reliable for you. I take pride in learning and replicating your exact house rules, feeding schedules, and favorite walking loops. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure while you are away. I am able to offer your dog true, focused companionship during the daytime hours when they miss you the most.
“Brendan was the best! Super easy to schedule with, very communicative and gave our large and energetic doodle lots of exercise! Highly recommend”
About: I’ve been the “dog person” in my family and friend group my whole life. I’ve taken care of so many different dogs over the years. People always come to me because they know I’m gentle, responsible, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with their pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks or drop-ins any day of the week, except for Thursdays and Monday nights. Since I’m in grad school, I spend a lot of my time studying in my apartment, which allows me to take care of your dog as well. I live in a calm, safe neighborhood in a clean, cozy apartment, and I have two roommates who are also huge dog lovers (although they won't be caring after your dog, just me!). I pay close attention to what each dog needs, whether that’s space to settle in, extra cuddles, or a quiet spot to relax. I’ll also keep you updated the whole time so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is for your dog to feel cared for, safe, and completely at home.
“Ayat is super reliable and professional when it comes to walking our dogs. She makes sure to always ask questions when it comes up and is always able to adapt if anything changes! She will make sure your dogs are well taken care of.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Dejah. She is responsible and communicative, very reliable, and always patient with my dog. An amazing dog walker and a great person for your animal!”
About: My rates are low since I'm just starting out on rover!! I have prior experience with Dogs of all sizes and ages. Hyper dogs, calmer dogs, Big and small. I also have experience with cats!! I am ready to tackle taking care of any age, accommodations, whatever it may be!! I also have experience staying over night in a home in order to care for anxious dogs and cats and am ready to communicate if any issues are present!! Currently, during the summer, I am unavailable for visits from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekdays, though I can be flexible if needed!! I occasionally will accept bookings outside of my radius and at short notice. If I'm available, I try to be very accommodating and would love to help out if I can. I have full weekend availability as of right now. As my availability changes, I will update my schedule :) I am able to spend time playing, caring, walking, feeding, etc. with your pup. I have experience crating a dog, but usually the dogs are crate trained, or on the smaller side if not. I am also able to be aware and stay aligned with any rules you might have in place for your pet (ex. no pets on the couch etc.)
“Erika is an amazing dog lover! She’s so accommodating and sweet! My puppy absolutely loves her and she even looks forward to seeing her and going on walks with her. Having Erika to help me walk my puppy has made my life a lot easier as a 9-5 working professional! I cannot recommend her more!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was very young and currently have my own labrador retriever! I’m well versed in caring for high energy dogs and know how to control a pack! I’m currently a student in college and dog walk when I’m home for the summer! I have flexible hours and can work around different schedules and needs. I can easily take care of your dog within your home and find a nice route to walk your puppy along! I can’t wait to spend time with your fur baby!!

“Leah was absolutely incredible, and I couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience for my puppy, Luna. As a first-time puppy parent being away for several days, I was naturally a little nervous, but Leah went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt comfortable, safe, and happy every step of the way. Leah was incredibly caring, thoughtful, and attentive to Luna's needs. Not only did she take her on neighborhood walks, but she also arranged fun outings where Luna got to socialize with other people and dogs, which she absolutely loved. Leah sent multiple updates and photos every day, so I always knew how Luna was doing, and her communication was consistently prompt and reassuring. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in such wonderful hands. I would book with Leah again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like their own.”

She truly treated him like her own dog and with some of the pictures she sent, she could start her own pet photography business. I will definitely be booking Yin again and highly recommend her!”
