“We had a great experience with Elizabeth and Rodrigo! There was daily communication as well as photo updates — our dog looked right at home! We had total peace of mind while we were away. Murphy already can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!”
“John is the best sitter we could ask for! Our dog loves him and he spoils her with affection and lots of walks. We have now trusted him with a short trip and now a much longer trip. He provides great updates and makes us feel at ease leaving our baby. I would recommend him to any dog owner!”
“Jagger loved Victoria, he had so much fun, and was so well taken care of!! He was in a loving and safe environment, so I was able to enjoy my trip worry free! Victoria was great at sending updates and pictures. I hope Jagger will be able to stay with Victoria again soon!! It was a wonderful experience!”
“Charlie had a great stay with Christina! I was nervous leaving Charlie and Christina sent photos throughout the stay so I could see what she was up to. Charlie had lots of walkies and snuggles and enjoyed her visit.”
“Absolutely thrilled with the care Zwany and Leandro provided for my two dogs over the weekend! From start to finish, they went above and beyond. They kept me updated daily with photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. They treated my pups like their own, showering them with attention and affection. I was especially impressed with the thoughtful report card they gave me at the end, detailing how the dogs did during their stay. It's clear they love what they do, and I can't recommend them enough. I'll definitely be rebooking their services in the future!”
“This is a sad review to write only because it will be Charlie’s last stay with Ilya for a while since we are moving away from Cambridge. For the last year, Ilya has been rock solid reliable as a sitter for Charlie, always responding in minutes and always accommodating for last minute stays and changing work plans and cancelled flights. Charlie sees the bag come out and gets so excited that he’s going to visit Ilya and his rotating group of pups. During the stay I get frequent updates and the cutest photos. He comes home happy and calm from a fun stay playing with friendly dogs and frequent walks. I would highly recommend Ilya and only wish we were staying in Cambridge longer so Charlie could keep up his visits!!”
“Julie was amazing, it’s no wonder she has star sitter status! I always get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she sent lots of pictures and updates about how he was doing. Seymour came home so content and relaxed!”
“Thank you so much for watching Harley! I could tell immediately that she felt comfortable/trusted you when I dropped her off and it made such a difference in allowing me to enjoy my trip. She’s already eaten the treat you sent her home with.”
“Emily was awesome! She took amazing care of my pup, kept constant communication while I was away, and was super flexible when my return plans got shifted and she needed to hold onto my dog for a bit longer. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a solid, dependable sitter!”
“Matias was great and took care of my dog so perfectly. He answered so quickly and was able to take care of him last minute. Highly recommend and would definitely send my dog back. Very trustworthy and loving!”
“Our dog Maya had a great time with Lynne! Lynne kept us posted on Maya’s activities and sent photos on a daily basis. Maya looked like she was having a great time. Lynne was easy to communicate with and responsive to all of our questions and requests. You can tell that she truly cares about the pets in her care. Thanks, Lynne!”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Our pup had the best time with Lyn! She kept us updated with fun pictures and was very flexible when we had a travel delay—we’d definitely bring Marty back the next time we’re out of town.”
“Rachel could not have been nicer! Our dog had the best time going on long walks and playing with Rachel's dog. She was great about sending daily photos. We would not hesitate to recommend Rachel. She is wonderful!!”
“Haowen and Yi were amazing! They kept us updated with tons of pictures. We can tell they took very good care of our high-energy golden, she came home very happy! We will absolutely use them again in the future. I highly recommend them for any pet parents who are nervous to leave their pets! You won’t be disappointed!”
“I would 1000% recommend Linda to anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their pup! She sent lots of updates and pictures during Beau’s stay and she is always very quick to respond. Her house and yard is perfect for dogs of all sizes and needs and I feel incredibly comfortable leaving Beau in her care. I’ll absolutely be booking with Linda again!”
“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!”
“Cindy was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bear! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which we really appreciated. Throughout his stay, she sent daily updates with photos and videos so we always knew how he was doing, and she responded quickly to all of my messages. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and spent lots of time giving him attention and snuggles. Bear was very well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will definitely be reaching out to Cindy again in the future and would highly recommend both her and her brother to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Lily did an amazing job taking care of my shy cat Cinnamon. She was very communicative and provided very detailed updates and lots of great photos.

“Elizabeth was amazing with my cat Mica!! She was responsible and timely. Elizabeth sent me so many cute pictures of Mica playing with thoughtful notes about the visit. Absolutely would rebook!!”
About: I’ve been a cat person my whole life—I grew up with three cats and have been caring for family and friends’ cats since I was about 8 years old. I currently have two young, active cats of my own, so I’m very used to keeping up with playful energy as well as giving plenty of attention and care. I have experience with cats of all ages, including administering medication to senior cats. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home.
“Nathan took great care of our two cats during a two-week trip, and we would happily book him again. He was reliable, communicative, and easy to work with, and he sent regular check-ins that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. During each visit, he handled everything we needed — feeding, checking the litter, playing with the cats, making sure they were happy and comfortable, and even tidying up a small mess one of them made — all without any fuss. We also appreciated his patient help when our Litter Robot got a little finicky mid-trip. Overall, Nathan was thoughtful, dependable, and clearly cared about making sure our cats were well looked after. We were all very glad to have his care.”
“Thanks so much to Alyssa for taking such good care of Gandalf! He was very happy and well cared for I was happy to see how much he enjoyed his time. Would definitely love to have her care for him again!”
“Gabrielle took such great care of my kitties while I was away. She gave thorough updates each visit and took lots of pics so she made me feel less anxious while being away from my babies. She made our kitties feel comfortable very quickly and took the time to play with them and give treats! 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. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for A+++ pet care and will definitely be booking again for our next trip! THANK YOU GABRIELLE!!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Will! We have a very tough cat who is typically aggressive with strangers, and he handled it incredibly well. By the end, Tux was so sweet and clearly comfortable with him, which honestly says everything. On top of that, Will went above and beyond in ways he absolutely didn’t have to, like going out to get food when we ran out. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Tux was not only taken care of, but genuinely cared for. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Emily is the ideal sitter for any pet! She was so proactive, communicative, detailed, flexible and caring. We cannot thank her enough, especially for putting up with our grumpy old kitty. She is guaranteed to be our go-to from here on out!”
“Stephanie has watched our cat Huey twice and is already booked for the next time. She is super professional, on time, communicative, and thoughtful. She is an excellent cat sitter!”
“Stacy was such a great cat sitter! We came home after 5 days away for our wedding to a happy, healthy cat who had been well fed and cared for. Stacy gave us great updates every day and was very communicative.”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely communicative throughout the whole trip, and Rick absolutely loved her — she was even able to brush out a knot in his fur (and he usually hates being brushed!). We will be using Jessica again! ❤️”

“A truly 5 star experience. Cameron was easy to communicate with and work with. Just off vibe alone I knew my dog was in good hands when he was picked up. Throughout the day I was consistently updated with photos and videos of my dog out and about. I highly highly recommend Cameron to anyone in need of a dog-sitter. Next time I’m in Boston I will 100% be reaching out to him first. Finn will miss Cameron and Rosie a ton!!! 5 stars!!”
“Daria was amazing! She sent us tons of pictures of Dakiti throughout the day, and he looked so happy in every single one. She and Kova were the perfect match for Dakiti's energy, exactly what he needed. We can't thank Daria enough, and we'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Our first Roover experience for us and we are so happy about Vienna's stay! Jim and his four years old little boy took amazing care of her and shared some cute videos at the park playing with her favorite ball over the day. We felt super relieved to see that she had a great day and was not too difficult (2 year old high energy golden at home and we were a bit anxious to give her away for a day). Everything went really well and we can't recommend enough Jim! We will use him again next time we need it! :)”
“Tiffany and Steve took such great care of Cooper. They sent a lot of pictures throughout the day. They also trained him and played with him. And followed his routine with walks, meal time and snacks. They made sure Cooper felt at home. I’m glad I found them on Rover. I was at ease as Cooper is generally anxious of meeting new people, but he settled in very well with them.”
“Y Tran has taken care of Kiko many times, and I always feel completely at peace leaving him with her. She truly loves Kiko, and it shows in the way she cares for him. She constantly sends me tons of pictures and updates, which makes me feel very reassured and connected while I’m away. She takes Kiko on many walks, gives him lots of attention, and he always looks so happy with her. What I appreciate most is that she does everything with genuine love and care, and it’s very noticeable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive for their pet.”
“Shuhua (Cindy) took great care of our dog Sesame! Our dog has separation anxiety, and Cindy was very communicative, thoughtful, considerate, and friendly! She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and created a great space for Sesame to feel calm while we were away. Will definitely book again!”
“If I could leave 10 stars, I would. Greta was absolutely AMAZING. Great communication, and an extremely happy pup when I picked her up. Thank you so much Greta for taking care of my Gracie as if she were your own.”
“Elizabeth and her kids took amazing care of Bean! Elizabeth was incredibly accommodating in setting up a space for Bean in her home and truly went above and beyond. She also sent various updates and photos throughout Bean's stay with her. Would definitely recommend!”
“Indrajeet accepted our reservation at the last minute, which ended up being wonderful luck for us. What a kind and caring dog sitter. Monk and LouLou were immediately at ease. Fear not and book now. A wonderful experience!”
“Patricia did a great job taking care of our poodle Beau. When we met it was clear that she was very knowledgeable about dogs, and our dog warmed up to her instantly. Highly recommended and we look forward to having her take care of him in the future!”
“this was our first time using rover—or having someone outside our family watch our newly adopted dog—and lynne helped us have a great first experience. she made us feel comfortable from the get go and, most importantly, our fur baby seemed to enjoy his day with her. we would be thrilled to have her dog sit for us again, and recommend her without reservation to others!”
“Andrew & Ellen were great! Super flexible, responsive and great dogs parents. Ophelia a blast playing with sweet Mango. I will definitely book another puppy date! :) Highly recommend.”
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!
“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!”
“Anastasia was amazing!! Visiting Boston for my bday Nervous to leave our puppy but she was so incredible with Bella and sent us updates all day! Thank you!”
About: I have experience with lots of animals. I grew up with a bulldog, french mastiff, mini schnauzer, 2 cats, birds, fish, chickens, turkeys, tortoises... so I would say your pet is in good hands. I personally have a 1 year old cocker spaniel who I love and adore and is the most spoiled dog. Being a pet owner is fun, but also hard! So I'm here to make it easier for you while you're away! I work from home in Somerville, and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can stop by during the day, and take your dogs out for walks in the mornings, lunch time, and evenings. I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. I am a CPA, so I'm very organized, reliable, and pay attention to details, so you can always trust that when your pet needs attention and care you can count on me to be there! I will follow all instructions and make sure your pet is cared for the same way you care for them.

“Michael is very responsive, flexible and dedicated. He gives me regular update and takes dog walking to the next level. You can tell that he enjoys it. I’m a repeat client ;)”
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.
About: I've always had a dog growing up, lived with cats for many years, and have been house sitting for four years in many states across the US! I don't have any pets, children, plants, etc. to take care of that are my own - so very available for other peoples pets! Outside of pet sitting, I am a Clinical Psychology PhD Student at Suffolk University. I have class all day Monday, but am flexible Tuesday through Friday. *Disclaimer: I do not currently own a car! In the clients home, I always respect the space and am sure to leave the space cleaner than I found it, but open to client preferences with what to clean versus leave be 😊

“Emily is reliable, consistent, and flexible. She provides thorough updates of her walks with pictures and feedback. I trust her 100% to care for my one year old Maltipoo, Milo. Highly recommended!”
“She was one of the best people we have ever had care for our dog. We asked for her help last minute with some dog walks, and she was punctual, thoughtful, very gentle with our sensitive dog, and very reliable. I would highly recommend her!”
“Stacy has been a lifesaver. We moved to the Boston area with little notice, and our mini poodle needed a dog walker on the days me and my spouse were at the office. Stacy stepped in and has taken excellent walks, and is super communicative and responsive. Our pooch and we are super happy with Stacy's service.”
“Jo & Adam C have taken care of my pup Korra multiple times--they even accommodated a walk for her sometime ago on very short notice! They are very easy to work with and are friendly, as well as great communicators. Korra seems to love them whenever she sees them. I would definitely use them again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, including senior dogs and puppies. I am excited to get to know your pet and am patient if they need time to show their personalities! I have experience taking care of multiple dogs simultaneously with different energy levels and can cater to the breed needs of dogs (chasing for herding dogs, fetch for retrievers, etc). I love all pets and am excited to get to know yours!! I am currently a full time law student and am excited to take care of your pet! I’m an avid walker and runner and am always on the go. I go on a morning and evening walk daily for study breaks and would love to take your dog with me. While I don’t have a dog safe household at the moment, but am able to care for animals with a large range of personalities. I have experience walking large dogs, dogs with little to no leash experience, dogs who need to run, and dogs who long to take a leisurely stroll. I have personally had a Labrador (90 lbs), a golden retriever (75 lbs), an aussidoodle (60lbs) and two lovely schnauzers (20lbs). They all had very unique personalities and walking/care needs. Additionally, I had two cats growing up and have cat sat for family/neighbors for years.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know every pet's unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I'm home throughout the week, so your pet will have plenty of time for playtime, cuddles, walks, and one-on-one attention. I love spending my days with animals and making them feel right at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll create a calm, comfortable environment where they can relax, feel secure, and simply be themselves.
