Even for one overnight, she sent plenty of updates and photos, and her commentary demonstrated she was interested in learning about our dogs' personalities.

About: I have worked with farm animals including dogs and cats for about 2 years and I own a dog and a cat! I also love interacting with animals. I am looking for a simple job to keep me active and be able to give back to my community. I would love to care for animals of all shapes and sizes while also ensuring your home and pets are safe. In my home, we have a big backyard with plenty of room for dogs and a whole separate cat room. Within another person's house I would be respecting boundaries put up around the house and being consistent and well aware of clean up! I also love getting out, which would be favorable for a dog.

Thanks again and we definitely recommend her ”

On the last day the weather was super hot in Boston and Gabrielle even offered to come by the apartment to turn on the AC in addition to her planned visits! She’s super sweet and very responsive.

She came over for a “meet and greet” beforehand; she was very thorough and confirmed detailed instructions in writing before we left; she handled all the feeding and litter box cleaning and played with and brushed the kitties when she visited; and best of all she sent us cute photos of our cats at every visit. We’ll be using her again, and I would recommend her without a moment’s hesitation.”

We would definitely recommend booking with Melinda and we’d be happy to have her watch our cats again.”

About: Hello! My name is Natsuko and I live in Watertown with my fiancée Carson and dog Luna. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs since I was very young, and I’ve gained lots experience with dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with puppy care, including basic leash manners and crate training, and I focus on consistency and positive reinforcement so dogs feel secure while learning. I’ve also lived with dogs who have anxiety or past trauma, and have experience slowly building trust and bonds. I am currently a remote freelancer and this set up gives me great flexibility to spend quality time with my dog Luna during my workday. She LOVES other doggos and would love to play with and go on walks with a new friend! We typically go on short pee breaks once every three hours and go on two long walks every day. My schedule is very flexible so I am confident I can accommodate for the bathroom/walk/eating schedules of any dog in my care. We live in a very walkable neighborhood in Watertown with the Fresh Pond loop a quick walk away! There are many options to take dogs out for a short or long walk. In our home, we have nice open spaces for dogs to play with each other and with toys. Since we have a dog of our own, we have dog proofed our whole home. Our dog Luna loves playing with other dogs and has had no issues with socializing. If a dog in my care needs a break from playtime or gets overstimulated, we have options to separate the dogs if needed since Luna is crate trained and we have many rooms for the dogs to use.
“Great sitter! She was able to watch Bastet on short notice and sent lots of photos. She made sure the dogs got along well and gave Bastet lots of attention. Sofia is also great at reading dog body language and made sure our girl was comfortable.”
“Karina and her puppy Luca were amazing puppy sitting my 4 month old doxie named Winston. I got updates throughout the day with photos and comments. I think Winston may have also learned some manners from Luca. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Maya always has a great time at Lynne’s! Lynne is great communicator and always lets us know about any other dogs that will be in her care while Maya is there. We look forward to booking with Lynne again in the future!”
“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”
“Jacqueline was great. She watched our dog while we went to a show in town and even though it was only a few hours she sent us photos and took him outside twice! She definitely made him feel comfortable enough to quiet down and snuggle. Would recommend her if you need a dog sitter in the Boston area!”
“Andrew & Ellen were great! They took great care of our dog and kept us updated. Kuzi also LOVED playing with their pup Mango and came home every day very tired.”
“Cardinal had so much fun at his small-dog play date!! I appreciated that Betsy took time for a thoughtful meet and greet so that I was sure he would feel comfortable! I was very happy that he could enjoy time outside of his crate with other dogs in a warm and caring environment! Will definitely book again!!”
“My dog Wally had a great time with Alexandra and her dog! Alexandra took great care of him, sent lots of pictures, and was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!”

“My pup is highly anxious around new people and Annika was incredible with caring for him and building his trust. He warmed up to her in only a few days which was a huge milestone for him, it just goes to show how knowledgeable Annika is with understanding dogs! So lucky to have found her”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my entire life so I’m extremely comfortable around them! My family dog Ellie is almost 100 pounds, and Cooper is extremely energetic, so I have a wide range of experience. I’m a fully remote employee, so I have a flexible schedule and can walk during lunch times and/ or most other times of the day! I have grown up with dogs so I know how to look for signs of distress or discomfort. I’ll always make sure your dog is safe!
“Jacqueline was great with our dog River. She really put on the miles to exercise our active girl. She was prompt and capable. She skillfully handled a slight collar malfunction and delivered home a happy tired dog. We’ll definitely rebook with Jacqueline!”
About: I’ve worked in doggy daycare, I’ve trained my grandmother’s puppy, ✨I have a certificate in basic knowledge of dog body language✨, will clean up all accidents, I’m comfortable & capable of taking care of all dog sizes, and most importantly - I will make sure your furry friend has the best time! I’m extremely loving towards dogs and super passionate in making sure they’re happy :) After all, they unconditionally care for us - it’s only fair we give them the same respect. I take great pleasure in making sure your companion is safe and fully fended for while you’re away! I work a part-time job currently, but I get to choose my own schedule and can tailor it to fit your needs! I’m also a full-time college student but have acclaimed time management skills. *Please note that Rover only lets me choose day availability. You may request a day that appears open, but my availability is dependent on the specific times that you select.* I’ll feed your pet/s, frequently give water when needed, make sure they get playtime, take them outside to go potty (or help them to go inside if you prefer pads), give treats on good behavior (if permitted), and overall make sure you have a happy pup :)
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’ve had two cats for the past 4 years and have pet sat for friends and family when they’ve needed help. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow whatever routine and instructions help you and your pet feel most comfortable. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I work full-time (6am-2pm) as a scientist, so I’m generally available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My schedule can be flexible though to accommodate for early morning visits. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they need before accepting a booking. I use Rover myself so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable until you’re back. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
“Cameron is punctual and communicates about his visits before arrival, during and after. I will definitely contact him again. My dog is very anxious and he didn’t push her to walk, just kept her company as we discussed.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs—large, medium, and small—since I was 10 years old. In addition to raising 3 golden retrievers and assisting in the delivery and caretaking of an accidental litter of 10 puppies, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for several families in my home state. I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available to play with, walk, cuddle, and love on your dog multiple times a day! I am a responsible, clean, and communicative law student who will take great care of your four-legged family members. Expect lots of photos and videos to accompany any walks or visits.
“Sean is amazing with Jelly, very flexible and communicative, jelly was always so excited to see him and had fun on his walks. Sean also asked if he could help with putting his boots on or leash etc, I will absolutely reach out again for future walks!”
“Susie is a great communicator and a pleasure to work with. We have trusted her with our senior dog twice now and look forward to calling on Susie again. Thank you, Susie!”
“Luke has been amazing with daily walks for our Black Labs! He is very communicative and really loves our dogs, even bringing them water for walks on hot days! Highly recommend!”
“Lara is great and Fergus was so comfortable with her! She took the time to ask questions and was very detail-oriented in terms of what we wanted her to do/how do it. We will definitely be asking Lara to walk our pup in the future. Thank you again!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep compassion, patience, and experience with dogs who need extra attention—especially those with anxiety or special routines. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets who struggle with separation anxiety. My own dog, Sasha, has anxiety, so I understand the importance of gentle care, consistency, and emotional support. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your pup needs long walks, slow introductions, or just a cozy lap to nap on—I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have Mondays and Tuesdays off, which gives me plenty of time for daytime walks and drop-ins. On other days, I’m able to fit in visits between school and work—and I don’t mind doing late-night drop-ins if your pet needs evening attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to make it a priority in my schedule. I’m dependable, flexible, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I only offer pet care in the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide reliable, stress-free care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.
