“Julie was simply fantastic with Wesley. She let him sniff around and learn get comfortable in her apartment while I was there to make sure he was ok. Lots of photos and Infor a laugh as she she shared a Wesley story as she took him for a walk and he waited hopefully for some free pizza. I would definitely rebook.”
“Alex is the best! My dog has been sick and Alex took good care of her and was attentive. My dog was on meds & she made sure she took her pills. Strongly recommend Alex!”
“Shana was great with our dog Basil! She watched her just overnight but Basil definitely looks like she got plenty of walks, attention, and couch time! Will definitely keep Shana in mind for future sits!”
“Steven was phenomenal. He sent us daily updates and photos, and it was clear Carly felt completely at home. She came back happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Truly an exceptional experience.”
“Hyesoo and her family were again amazing! Extremely responsive and thorough. We are always able to enjoy ourselves without worry while she is watching over our pup. Cannot brag about her enough!!”
“Shuhua helped us out in a pinch last minute to board our dog same night, and we are so happy with the attentiveness shown - it doesn't get much better for our shy and sleepy greyhound girlie than an elevator to avoid the scary stairs, a soft couch, lovingly-shared boiled chicken and peeled apples, and a fresh new green space she gets to sniff around. We've already booked a second day due to our needs, and will absolutely reach out again in the future if needed! So glad to establish a connection to a nearby sitter that is so comfortable for our pet.”
“Isabella did a great job in minding Marvin and Mellow. My cats are usually nervous at first, but settled down really well throughout their stay. She kept us in the loop with loads of photos and videos. By the end, our cats were content and I would definitely book her again!”
“Barbara and her partner were wonderful with my little dog. I always worry about her when I travel, and Barbara sent me photos and updates every day, which I greatly appreciated as it showed me she was doing well. Thank you again!”
“Another great stay with Alan and Ying. They provide a lot of updates and are so caring for our dog. They have become our go-to sitter. Thank you as always!”
“Lyn was so kind to our two little dogs. It was the first time in 8 years that they were with a new sitter. We were moving so our dogs were already apprehensive with packing. Her calm, gentle and super competent demeanor was exactly what we were looking for. Lyn sent photos daily so we could see how our dogs were doing. Highly recommend her!”
“Winn was the best to work with! He was extremely responsive to messages, met us for a meet and greet with our pup to get her comfortable with his space. He was attentive to our pup paying close attention to her temperament and making sure she felt comfortable in his space. She is wary of new people but warmed up to him nicely. Highly recommend Winn and we will be returning clients for sure.”
“Very flexible, communicative, and overall wonderful. Her energy is so calm and friendly, I know Finn had the best time! Would absolutely book again in the future!”
“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!”
“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Nalix is probably the most experienced sitter that Elly has ever stayed with. She knew exactly how to handle Elly as she got adjusted to the apartment and when she showed some exhibits of resource guarding. Her apartment has a nice fenced in area outside for easy access to fetch at any point in the day. I would 100% ask Nalix to watch Elly again.”
“Alec and Damien were great hosts! Tanuki seemed very comfortable and we received lots of updates. So glad to have been able to book with them ❤️”
“Greta and her pup Juniper were wonderful hosts! My dog is nervous in new places and is more comfortable when another dog is around. Greta was patient and loving. I felt really comfortable leaving him with her for the weekend. Greta gave lots of updates and pictures. Would definitely recommend!”

“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my cats! Alexa went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I returned to two very content kitties. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
“Winita is incredibly reliable and attentive to our cats care instruction. She helped us a lot with a last minute change when an emergency came up. We recommend her highly”

“Jordan took spectacular care of our cat while we were out of town for several days. We loved the daily photos and reports of their time together. Super fun. Fantastic!!”
“I cannot compliment Liza enough! As a new cat mom I didn’t know what to expect as this was my first time being away from Gigi; yet Liza was fantastic and made me feel at ease from day one. She matched Gigi perfectly: recognized her quirks and was great at playing with her and giving her the attention she craved. Liza assured me with check-ins and photos. I feel confident that we have a new forever friend.”
“Nick was great and provided us with lots of updates & pics! Had a delay on a littler shipment and he picked some up for us which was much appreciated!! Will use again.”
“Ekaterina really came through to help out with my two special-needs kitties! She did an awesome job; I felt very reassured knowing they were getting some love and attention while I was away. Thanks Ekaterina!”

“Mirabel is an amazing and highly responsible sitter. She cared for our cat for two weeks and even braved the snowstorms to make sure she was there every single day. She is super attentive and kind we highly recommend her!”
“Taylor was so great to step in last minute for us when our last sitter moved. She was kind and patient, even when having trouble with our lock box, she still spent the time allotted with our cats and they seemed to love her. She was great in her communication and we would love to use Taylor in the future! My husband and I highly recommend Taylor for anyone’s fur babies!”
“Hannah looked after my Frankie like she was her own! Gave her lots of attention and love, and sent me photos and updates everyday. Easy communication and trustworthy. Thank you, Hannah, for looking after Frankie so well!”
“Kayla did a great job with my dog, Archie! She is professional, courteous and follows directions. I’m always worried to leave Archie with sitters, as he needs extra guidance on walks. but Kayla handled him like she had been watching him for years. I look forward to hiring her again!”
“We were so happy to rebook again with Anastasia to care for our cat in our home while we were away over a two week span. She is always so kind to our kitty, Jake, and has won him over even though he’s usually pretty skittish with visitors. She patiently plays with him and gives him treats, and has even gotten him used to pets and cuddles. I’m grateful to her for her good care of Jake, and I’ll be booking with her again in the future!”

About: I’m an experienced and loving dog sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a lifelong dog lover and dog mom myself, I understand that your pup is family—and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs through regular sitting, walks, overnight stays, feeding, playtime, and keeping them comfortable in their owners’ absence. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, laid-back and cuddly, or a little shy and need extra time to warm up. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands! My schedule is dedicated toward pet sitting. I will spend the day with the pups. We usually go to the dog park twice daily along with an early morning walk. I allow the dogs to free roam my space. They are welcome on the couch and bed. There are several rooms for separation if needed.
About: What to expect for boarding/daycare: I guarantee 4 walks a day of at least 40 minutes to an hour (or longer) depending on the needs and energy levels of your dog. Your dogs will be extremely well taken care of, ensuring they have plenty of time devoted to walking, sniffing around, playing, and other forms of enrichment. I have spent my whole life working with and for animals. I work as a conservation biologist and have experience in animal rehabilitation. I also have a degree in biology and animal studies/behavior. Growing up, I lived on a farm and worked with and trained a variety of farm animals daily for 4H. I also have volunteered at my hometown animal shelter to raise and promote their cats and dogs for many years. Additionally, I spent much of my youth taking care of my families’ dogs and cats, and pet sitting for friends, family, and strangers. I am open to any and all kinds of animals at any age range. I have spent many hours nursing sick animals back to health, so I am well-trained in being patient and attentive to the needs of animals in my care. I currently work from home so I have a lot of time for high-energy dogs that need multiple visits/long walks daily or elderly pets that needs slower TLC at your home or mine. I live in a quiet building that would be good for watching skittish pets and have a nice park next to our building for walks and play. I am used to having animals so I keep the apartment very clean and never leave food out anywhere that animals may be able to reach.
“Emma was really great! She always sent me updates on how it was going and was flexible about timing with my work schedule. My dog is super shy but she warmed up to Emma quickly :)”
“She is an amazing sitter! She gave frequent updates throughout the day, and really appreciated that she went above and beyond by sending a lot of pictures. Also, I really appreciate her flexibility. If you’re in Boston, highly recommend her as your pet sitter. Go Greta (and Juniper)! 🫶✨”
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.
“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.”
“Alex is hands down the best sitter we booked with so far. She went above and beyond for our 6 month old puppy who was staying with her all day! She kept in touch with us very frequently all day and we received so many pictures of our puppy playing and cuddling with Alex’s dog! 100% recommend, we will be booking again!!!”
“Andrew and Ellen were great and very responsive throughout. Piper took a looong time to settle as was missing his hoomum but eventually settled down and had a fun time playing with sweet Mango too 🥰”
“Erin was absolutely amazing with Milo! I felt confident leaving my puppy with her because I knew he was in good hands. Such a great experience for my first time booking on Rover!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and have experience with all kinds of pups, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’ve been doing Rover for a while now and really enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means lots of walks and playtime, extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own. I’d love to meet your pup and help make your time apart as easy as possible! 🐾 I am currently a resident physician and will only be accepting pets on the days that I am working from home, so your pet will have my complete attention. I live in a one bedroom apartment, but love going for long walks and dog park visits! I'll never take more than 1 dog at a time and I don't currently have a dog of my own. Dogs are allowed on the couch and bed at my apartment.

“Hyesoo is responsible and dependable, communication was excellent from start to finish. She shows up on time, followed the instructions, and really cared about my dogs’ safety and well-being. My dogs came back happy and well exercised”
About: I have grown up loving all animals and have lived in a household with dogs. I feed them, take them out, take them on walks, and bathe them. I also sometimes dogsit my other family members dogs, which includes feeding them, walking them and taking them outside. I am currently unemployed until the school semester begins again. I have a lot of free time and would love to help out with your pet! I currently have two dogs at home, both of different breeds and both requiring different levels of attention. I spend a lot of time with them, inside and outside and love to take them on walks and let them play outside.
“Mirabel was so awesome! She helped me out last minute by walking Theo and even though he gave her lots of trouble by hiding from her at first, she was so patient with him and still took him on a long walk. She provided a thorough note and lots of photos which I greatly appreciated. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Alissa is an amazing dog walker. We deeply appreciate how reliable and consistent she is, and how well she manages our dog with reactivity. She always comes on time and has been mindful of the summer heat when going on walks. Alissa has been an absolute asset to our family and we are wicked lucky to have her!!”
About: I’ve always had at least two dogs in the house, and have always loved caring for cats! I have plenty of experience taking care of horses and chickens, and I’m no stranger to taking care of many pets at one time, for example, 3 large dogs, 3 cats and 3 horses at the same time! I have a super open availability this summer, with more than enough time for late nights, early mornings, and overnight work! I have reliable transportation and a super free schedule to care for furry friends! I live in a condo with two elderly chihuahuas (almost 15 years old!) named Glory and Hero, as well as a super loving mutt rescue named Mysti! I love going for long walks with Mysti, and taking my chihuahuas for nice short walks as they get older. Making sure Mysti gets the proper exercise and attention is super important as she is a medium sized dog in a condo, as well as accommodating my older dogs as they age.
“Sabrina is awesome! She is great with communication, super supportive with maintaining our normal schedules and rules, and always sends pictures and updates! I love knowing that my dog is getting loving care while I am at work :)”
About: I’ve provided pet care for both my best friend and my aunt multiple times, usually for about a week at a time. I’ve cared for their dogs in their homes and always made sure they felt safe, loved, and well-exercised while their owners were away. I’ve also always naturally connected with animals and get along really well with both cats and dogs, even bigger or more energetic dogs. And as of January, I’m officially a cat mom to my adorable son Oswald (Ozzy) 🥹 so I definitely have plenty of experience with cats now too! I treat every pet like my own and love giving them lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles while making sure they feel comfortable and happy :) Pet care fits pretty easily into my schedule because I’m currently a college student with plenty of time between classes, full days off, and weekends available. I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. Whether that means going for walks, sticking to their usual schedule, playing, or just hanging out and giving them lots of love and cuddles, I have plenty of flexibility to make sure they feel happy and comfortable :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I live in a roomy, pet-friendly apartment with two other people and my two cats, who are both used to being around other animals. I’d make sure your pet has plenty of space to feel comfortable and would give them lots of attention, love, and care throughout their stay. :) When pets stay with me, we usually spend time together in the living room — great for dogs who can’t do stairs — or relaxing in my bedroom if they prefer a cozier space. I’m always gentle, patient, and attentive, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away.
“Maeve was excellent. She was always on time to get Copley and he very much look forward to the walks. She also took very great pictures of their outings which were awesome to see.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Roshni ! When my regular dog walker broke her leg, I needed a last-minute dog walker, and Roshni graciously stepped in. From the start, the communication was great. I received prompt updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. From the pics, it was clear that Roshni bonded with Betsy and my pup was relaxed, and happy when I returned. Roshni is reliable, professional, and wonderful with dogs!”

“Emma is amazing. Great at communication, trustworthy and absolutely amazing with my dog. He is always looking forward to his walks with Emma and will for sure miss her!”
“Melissa is great! She takes my elderly dog for a walk on my one long day away from the house. She always gives me a lot of info on how my old girl did and sends me the cutest pictures of her rolling around in the grass at the park and playing with other dogs. She also feeds my girl lunch and gives my cat a little snuggle too! I would definitely recommend her!”
“Grace was wonderful! Very professional and caring. She took care of my Husky over the weekend which is no small task with such a high energy pup and she did better than I could have hoped for. I will definitely be using her again in the future and you should too.”
“Kayla is wonderful! Very detail oriented, caring, sweet and Benji loved her! She was very patient with me explaining all of Benji’s routine and was very diligent about following all of it. Highly recommend!!”

“Zwany and Leandro were AMAZING! This was my first rover experience + first time leaving my baby anywhere except with her aunt, and it so so so great. I expected to be stressed out and worried the whole time but Zwany and Leandro made the whole experience so easy and stress free. I knew Maple was in good hands the whole time and got regular updates and cute pictures (as requested) which helped me so much with my own separation anxiety. I’m pretty sure Maple didn’t even wanna come home she was having so much fun with them and with Blu! 10000% will be booking with them again.”
“Todd came to our rescue for a last minute request for an overnight. Henry is 15 and while he sleeps a lot he needs a little more help than a younger dog. Todd was gracious and caring of Henry. He’s a great communicator and very easy to work with!”
“Zelun took fantastic care of our dog for over a week during Thanksgiving! Our dog usually takes a few days to perk up and get used to her new situation, but she settled in after the first night! Zelun sent daily pictures and videos from walks and afternoon sun naps, and our dog looked sooooo happy in every picture. Would 10/10 recommend.”

“Tyler was great to Coco! He helped her become part of the pack he was watching and kept me well informed. She was so exhausted after her stay- like she just got back from summer camp!”
“Bella had a great stay with Joe and Dodge! She immediately seemed right at home and happy/content while she was there. She can't wait to go back for another visit!”
“My dog loved staying with Gina. He usually has a difficult time being separated from us, but she made him feel comfortable and secure from the very beginning. He seemed completely at home in her care, which made the transition remarkably easy for both him and our family. Gina is clearly very experienced with dogs, and she took exceptional care of Parker. We felt confident knowing he was in such capable and caring hands.”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”

“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.”
