“Tiffany was awesome! We left our 3yr old Boxer with her for a week over Christmas, and she had us totally at ease while we were away. She sent lots of photo updates, and some fun videos of him playing as well. She genuinely cares about the pups she boards, and treats them like her own. I will definitely be using her services again!”

Flexible and understanding on a traffic delay I had coming to get her. Would definitely have Dusty stay again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for quality care for your pup!”
“My dog was so excited to go back to Todd’s for an overnight stay. He had the best time whenever he goes there, gets plenty of walks, lots of attention, and comes home such a happy camper. Todd is a trusted sitter for us and I will continue to book with him whenever I need somewhere for my dog to stay!”

“Chanel was an amazing host for our senior Shih Tsu, Kody. She made Kody feel right at home. She’s a natural caregiver, but also followed all the instructions and care tips we provided (morning meds, feeding, walks, etc.). Chanel was super communicative and made sure that we were updated during Kody’s stay. What a relief for us! (Thank you, Chanel. We’ll be back).”

Although I miss Ruby while I'm away, it is so so comforting knowing she is with Michelle, & getting such wonderful attention & care. Thank you, Michelle!!!”
“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!”
“Michiko and Clifford are great. This is the second time my dog stayed with them and they took great care of him both times. I look forward to more stays in the future. Thank you!”
“Veronica was terrific with my little Shih Tzu. She cheerfully coped with administering a somewhat complicated regimen of pills and eyedrops, and kept me posted on how he was doing. Would definitely use again!”
“Ann took wonderful care of Daisy for over a week. From the start, she was warm, kind, and very easy to communicate with. Ann and Jim created a great environment for Daisy, and we always felt she was in good hands. Ann made sure Daisy got plenty of time outside, including long walks and lots of opportunities to explore. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure Daisy was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Ann to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”
“Our pup, Reese, absolutely adored Maggie and had a great stay! Maggie was amazing with Reese, so patient with her picky eating style and getting dirty at the park. She also paired our pup with another sweet dog who was staying with her, so they had a nice doggy hangout all weekend. Highly recommend!”

She left extremely detailed Rover cards after every visit, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She cleaned their food and water bowls and scooped the litter every time, and everything was so clean and orderly when I got home. Most importantly, my cats were happy and clearly very well cared for! I would absolutely recommend Yingzi and would be very happy to book with her again!”

She cared for our cat for a full week while we were out of town for the holidays and was always quick to provide updates and thoughtful suggestions to help make our cat more comfortable. Our cat warmed up to her very quickly—which is rare—and Tira truly went above and beyond in terms of care. She is kind, thoughtful, and proactive, and we sincerely hope she will be available to help us again in the future.”

“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life! I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats, I worked as a dog walker all through high school & college, and I’m the proud cat mom to 2 cats! I also care for friends cats regularly, and I’m comfortable with administering medication, including giving cats an inhaler as my own cat is asmathic and I do this daily!

“Maria was a fantastic sitter. She was very flexible with a last minute booking and split communication between wallys owners. She asked insightful questions about our cat and gave excellent updates. Even though we booked drop in she really used the time bond and make him more comfortable.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10, have experience with senior dogs! I am at home all the time, and your dog will have my undivided attention I'm home all day, except for running a quick errand or two, so your pet will have my undivided attention! I also love going on walks or runs and cuddling with your fur baby if they'll let me I have a fenced yard where your dog can have supervised playtime and a large living room where your pet and I can hang out. I'm also happy to run or walk walk your dog as often as needed! I can offer intense and safe play for high energy dogs. I will respect your cat's space, but am happy to cuddle and play with toys as needed
“Thank you, Jack for taking care of Clyde. This was his first experience with a day-long drop off and he had a great day! Luna is a great companion and role model for 8 month old Clyde whose teen age hormones are all over the place! We love that you were able to get to know Clyde and hope we'll be able to see you again soon!”

About: Hi, we're Kavita and Saunak! We love dogs and have a lot of experience with them from helping socialize dogs at a doggy daycare to fostering and now caring for our own two dogs, Mocha and Orbit. We have lots of experience with nervous and anxious dogs as well as dogs that just need to burn some energy. We’ve used Rover for our own dogs too, so we know what it’s like to trust someone else with your pup. We really try to provide the kind of care, communication, and peace of mind we’d want for Mocha and Orbit. Kavita works from home full-time and Saunak has a flexible schedule, so we’re able to give our guests plenty of attention throughout the day. Mocha and Orbit also love having new friends visit, but we have the space to separate dogs when needed. We’re excited to get to know your dog and their routine so we can make their stay as comfortable, fun, and home-like as possible! I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule. This means I can accommodate most schedules and make time for frequent walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day! We live in a residential area with a fenced in yard, so your pup can have frequent outside trips. I also work from home full-time, so your dog is never left unattended. And our two pup love to greet and play with new dogs but they can also be separated if needed.
“I’ve known Junho and his adorable dog Boki since Boki was just a tiny three-month-old puppy, back when we first met in our apartment building. Over the years, I’ve seen how much care Junho gives to Boki, and how gentle and kind he is with other dogs he meets on their walks. When Junho started Rover, I knew right away that I could trust him with T-Rex. My dog requires extra care and attention due to specific conditions, and Junho followed all of my instructions thoroughly. He even sent me multiple photos and updates without me having to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Junho. He’s easy to work with, and his wonderful dog Boki will make a great companion for yours. Boki is super friendly and loves to play, but also knows how to give space if another dog isn’t in the mood.”
“Ben and his family took great care of Zelda and were very accommodating of our busy schedule. She came home happy and well exercised from playing with their pups all day. We will definitely book with Ben again!”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo were great with Oscar. They were flexible when I needed to shift my drop-off and pickup times, which made my day so much easier. They sent a few photos throughout the day too, which I always love getting. Oscar came home tired and happy, so he clearly had a good time. Would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thanks you two!”
“Andrew and Ellen were great with Wallace! He truly loves them and Mango. I have such peace of mind when they take care of my dog, which is invaluable. They are super flexible and accommodating. Wallace and I have been so lucky to find them!”
About: We’re a warm, dog-loving family in East Arlington offering a cozy, calm home for dogs to stay. We’ve cared for family and friends’ pets for years, and our 8-year-old daughter Ella is a gentle animal lover who loves joining in walks and cuddles. We work from home, have a fenced backyard, and host just one household at a time so your pup gets full attention. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge, or stick to a routine, we’re ready to make them feel at home! We work from home full time and walk to school each morning and afternoon—built-in walks for your dog! We’re available for boarding most weekends and weekdays with plenty of flexibility, especially during the day. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will be surrounded by people who truly enjoy their company. We have a private yard for outdoor time and will tailor your dog’s environment based on their needs—whether they’re crate-trained or free-range, active or mellow. Our home is calm, with no other pets, and we only accept one dog or family at a time to ensure your pup feels secure and cared for. We’re happy to follow any feeding, medication, or sleep instructions you provide.

“Ugur provides top-notch service walking our dog. He is kind and friendly. We hired him to walk our 7-month old puppy and she loves him. Although we hired him to walk our dog, when he came for a meet and greet, our cat warmed up to him immediately and let her pet him, which she normally doesn't do for most people. We highly recommend his services!”
“Catherine was a great dog walker! She responded well to my nervous dog and he grew comfortable with her super quick. She always returned my dog well exercised at the end of the walk!”
“Jacqueline is awesome! So patient with my crazy, energetic pup. Piper absolutely loves when Jacqueline comes for her walks and waits for her to return when she leaves!”
About: I am a recent graduate of Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. My family is split between the US and Guatemala. In the last couple of years, I have discovered that I really enjoy working with animals. We have many dogs in Guatemala, some of whom we have rescued. I also have a very special cat named Butter. My animal-related work experience includes working as a Daycare Attendant at Create Escape in Belmont and as a Tub Attendant at Laundromutt in Cambridge, as well as at BYOD in Boston. In both positions, I handled animals and looked after their well-being and safety. I have experience taking care of dogs in groups and dogs with different personalities and physical needs. For example, one of our dogs in Guatemala has partial paralysis of his body. I am also an artist and love doing portraits of dogs emphasizing their different personalities. I am available anytime during the week as well as holidays, morning and evening hours. I am available on short notice. I can also do overnight stays. I am observant and look out for behavior and mood changes. I make sure that the environment is safe for the animal. Getting to know an animal is very important to me because then I can better ensure their well-being. Communication with the pet owner is very important to me; understanding what special needs the animal has.
About: I grew up in the middle of nowhere with two adorable cocker spaniels that could drag you down the street if they saw a rabbit and you weren't firm. I love to go for a quick run AND have a little meandering stroll around town. My local friends know exactly who to ask to spend time with their cats and walk their dogs while they're away: they ask me, because I've never met a dog that didn't want to be my bestie or a cat that didn't want to hang out near me. I work on-call and on Saturdays, which means that I can prioritize walks and check-ins during your Monday-Friday 9-to-5, or even your 5-9. In my client's home and on walks I prefer to go by the particular needs of the pet and the instruction of the owner. A dog that needs a slow introduction can have a hand or a hat to sniff and check out, and I ALWAYS let a cat approach me first.
“Mary Kate did a wonderful caring for my chiweenie for the last 2 weeks. Planning on having her as a long term walker. She is flexible, keeps you updated during walks and reliable!”
About: I know first hand how much love there is between a dog and their owner. For that reason, I believe trust, transparency, and fun are the pillars of my dog walking service. When you entrust me to care for your pet, I will make sure they are always safe, hydrated, and having fun! I also always send updates after walks letting clients know how the walk went and that dogs are home safe. As a dog owner, I have had family dogs ranging from a 6 lbs Yorkie to a 65 lbs Lab. Outside of my own pets, I have experience cat- and dog-sitting for friends and family and am excited to be able to take on more dog walking clients. I am comfortable walking dogs of many breeds, sizes and ages. I can't wait to meet your furriest family members! I am a graduate student, so I often have a flexible schedule to work around your needs. I am available for early morning and evening walks every day of the week and midday walks every day Wednesday-Sunday. Safety is my top priority for your pet, your home, and myself. This is why before working with your pet, I will request a meet-up with you to better understand your pet. In this meeting we can discuss if your pet has any aggression or fear around other dogs, escape-artist tendencies, or special needs so that walks can be as safe and secure as possible.
“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!”
“Holly was so wonderful with Luther; I was a little worried about going on a long trip but at our meet-and-greet we had ample time to talk and she even gave me some advice about some unrelated dog stuff I have been thinking about. I really appreciated all her care and I could tell Luther was so happy to spend time with her out in the sun. Thank you, Holly!”
About: I grew up with two family dogs, both golden retrievers, and have much experience dog sitting my friends’ pets! I’ve gained valuable experience taking care of both cats and dogs since joining Rover, and I take pride in my feedback of being attentive to detailed and responsive to the many furry friends I’ve taken care of so far :) I’m currently only working part time. So I am free to cat and dog sit by giving full attention with a flexible schedule, weekdays and weekends. I live in a pet friendly apartment with a small park nearby. So walks wouldn’t be a problem and my apartment is big enough for the to play around as well.
“Good communicator, reliable, & patient with our reluctant/fearful dog. Hassana has put our dog at ease a lot faster than we expected. Definitely will book again.”
About: I really treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m super patient, big on routine, and I pay attention to the little things what makes your dog comfortable, what stresses them out, and what they love. I’ve cared for puppies (potty training, crate training, lots of energy) and seniors who need a slower pace, meds, or anything. I’m reliable, communicative, and I’ll always keep you updated so you never have to worry. Pet care is my full time focus, so my schedule is built around the pets I’m caring for. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, play, and check ins so each dog gets plenty of attention and consistency. I care for pets the way I’d want someone to care for mine. I follow your routine, make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and keep their environment clean and calm. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and stick to your instructions. In my home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll always keep you updated with pics and messages.
“Emily is a fantastic, wonderfully caring dog walker / pet care taker. We use her services for daily weekday walks for both of our dogs which have very different needs ( a 14 yr old golden doodle with mobility issues and a 10 yr old lab that still thinks she's 3 yr old spring chicken). She has also house sat over a navigation for us so that they didn't have to go into a kennel. She is trustworthy, communicative and extremely kind. You'd be fortunate to have her services.”
“I hired David to walk my pup Django twice a day while I was away over the 4th of July holiday. David was punctual and took good care of Django on his walks. Taking him on long walks and playing with him at the dog park. I appreciated the constant updates with pictures and videos. Will be hiring again!”
“Briana is responsive and very helpful. She was willing to do a meet and greet before the first walk and asked good questions in advance. She did a great job walking my dog and I would definitely use her again!”

Would highly recommend them to local pet parents & look forward to using their services again in the future 😊”
