“Betsy was a great sitter - very thorough and careful in getting to know my dog’s preferences and letting him see her very nice home and yard! Easy to communicate with and my pup seemed super happy :)”
“If you are looking for someone who will truly love your dog while you're away, look no further than Barb. She provided such peace of mind during our recent trip by sending daily photos and updates. Our dog seemed so comfortable in her home, and he was his usual relaxed self when he got back to us. Barb’s kindness is evident, and we are so grateful for the way she welcomed him into her home.”
“Guillermo took care of our dog Amos for nine days. He was an exceptional care provider. He went above and beyond taking Amos to the vet, giving his prescribed medication and even returning to the vet for a refill. Amos had plenty of walks. We received many pictures of Amos which my family really enjoyed. I would definitely re-book with Guillermo.”
“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.”
“Liz was outstanding! She really cared and connected With Ace and Flynn. She shared their adventures and made great observations about them. I really felt so comfortable leaving them in her care! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Linda was super nice with Aloe. She kept us up to date with how she was doing. We know Aloe sometimes can be too much, but we were impressed how Linda was able to become her friend in such a short time. Aloe was in great hands I would strongly recommend Linda and will don't think twice in asking her again to take care of our little one. 10/10”
“Kaisa was AMAZING! She took fantastic care of our dog and sent us incredible photos (one of which we think we’ll frame). She was incredibly communicative and friendly. We’d definitely ask her to sit again!”
“Michelle and Michael took excellent care of our pup. They were very communicative and asked all the right questions from jump. You know your dog had a good time when they don't want to leave. Highly recommended!”
“Jordan was absolutely fantastic! She treated Addie like she was her own! We were so happy that we booked our next boarding the same day we picked Addie up from this one!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.
“Kathryn was amazing with our dog Freya! She was friendly and flexible, which made everything easy from start to finish. Freya immediately felt comfortable with her and it felt like I was just dropping her off at a friends house for the weekend. We got updates throughout the weekend and could tell Freya was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a warm, reliable sitter!”
“Cannot recommend Oana and Oliver highly enough! They are experienced and thoughtful pet caregivers and I feel completely at ease leaving my geriatric pooch in the their loving care :)”
“Thank you again John. Walking dogs in a dense urban setting is not without its challenges. John is so experienced with this and we can head out of town without concern for our dog when he's in John's care.”
“This hasn’t been the first time Paul has watched our pup. Every time, we know our dog is in good hands - Paul goes above and beyond and is a great communicator. This time around we got stuck and delayed coming back from our trip because of the blizzard, and Paul was incredibly kind, understanding, and flexible in working with us to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away.”
“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.”
“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”

“Will is a responsible, reliable, kind, gentle, patient cat sitter. My cat loves him, and she can be a cranky old gal. He is so sweet to her and she just loves him to pieces. I feel so at ease knowing he is not only checking in on her, but playing with her as well. I would highly recommend him, if you have a cat you care about deeply and want to be well cared for while you are away.”
“Eleanor did a wonderful job dropping in to care for our cat while we were out of town. She sent detailed updates each day and some very cute photos, too. Her competence and care for animals really put us at ease. Would book again!”
“Julia was fantastic! We spent a weekend away for our wedding and didn’t have to worry one bit about the cats while we were gone. Her reports were thorough and we came back to a clean home and happy cats!”
“Samantha took excellent care of our cat Brisket. She was on time and did everything we asked, and more. She also responded promptly and really helped us out so close to the holidays. Thank you!”
“Amanda was the best you can find. My cat actually peed on bed because of new people coming in, but she even helped me wash and dry them and fold everything for me to use later, yeah that’s how considerate she is. She knows cats well, their behavior, their personalities…You can trust her to take care of your cat for sure!”
“Elliot took great care of our cat, Milo, while we were out of town over Christmas. He sent photos and updates at every visit, which we really appreciated, and he was always super friendly and communicative. We felt completely at ease knowing Milo was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Elliot again!”
“Caroline did a great job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She kept everything neat and tidy, paid attention to detail, and was fast/prompt with any communication. Would definitely recommend and will rebook if needed in the future.”
“Jordan did a great job watching my two cats. We had an issue with the keys during the start of the visits but she was great to communicate with and helped to solve the issues. I would definitely recommend Jordan!”

“Karen is fantastic! She sends the sweetest pictures and is super thorough with her care of your pet. Would highly recommend and plan on reaching out to her in the future :)”
“Benjamin took great care of our two kitties while we were away on a long weekend trip! He was always on time, took the time to play with them, and followed their diet to a tee! He provided us with not only great updates with how they were doing, but also provided us with the cutest photos of them! Most importantly the kitties seemed to enjoy spending time with him too! We definitely would have Benjamin take care of our kitties again! 😊”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my fur babies! I’d never left them alone for this long and it was so nice to get your updates and pics daily. I knew you’d be perfect when you came for the walk through and took notes, it shows great dedication and accountability. The fur babies loved having your visits, and not just because you were giving them food. ?”
“Sean has taken care of my cats twice now and both times did a fantastic job. He sends detailed notes with pictures for every visit to keep us updated. Without me asking, he found the vacuum and cleaned the litter and dust around the litter box, which I appreciated. He has cats of his own, so he knows what he's doing. I would definitely hire Sean again or recommend him to anyone who needs pet care.”
“Aaron was awesome wi the my cat, Mia! He was punctual, and gave her lots of attention while I was out of town, allowing me to come home to happy and healthy cat.”
“Michael did a great job checking in on our cats and made sure they were comfortable and fed! He was communicative and left the place clean when he left. Thanks again Michael!”
“Charlotte was great!!!! Super communicative and timely with drop-in visits. I had no doubt she would be great from the moment we met, and felt at ease being away from our cat for the first time. Thank you!”

“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!!”
“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!”

“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!!”

About: My roommates and I would love to have a pet of our own, but our travel schedules make it just out of reach. When your dogs stay over at our home, they’ll enjoy tons of attention, plenty of runs and walks in the big grassy field and popular dog park steps away. You’ll get pictures and updates. I’ve lived with and cared for all types of breeds, including skittish types. I know what mayhem and joy pets can bring, and how important time outside, rain or shine, is for their health, happiness & sanity (and yours!). Our pets are members of our families and it’s my priority to keep them safe, comfortable and healthy. PS, I love cats too and will happily keep yours company! I work remotely and tend to adjust my schedule based on the needs of the pet. I go for walks near alewife reservation regularly and would be happy for companionship! Your cat or dog will be integrated into our home life and daily routines like a member of the family. Happy to accommodate special needs.
“Jack was fabulous with my lazy and stubborn dog Wiggins! He kept in contact with us all day and let us know how he was doing. He also was willing to take us last minute and was super flexible with timing.”
“Kaisi and her partner were great! My dog is a bit anxious but he was comfortable in her home and snuggled with her with her other dog :) I received many pictures during his visit and Kaisi was very communicative throughout. Will definitely book again!”
“Wonderful and loving couple that clearly loves dogs. Did a meet and greet and sought out guidance on care. I look forward to them watching her again! My pup loved being there, and I had complete trust in them!”
“Shuhua is kind and very professional. Hermes ( my little Yorkie) was very happy with her. She is trust worthy and is a great communicator. I am sure Hermes is missing her companion ship. I will recommend her without any hesitancy. Thank you Sue.”
“Nate is a wonder with my pups and super accommodating to me. This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! He sent pictures, and bonded with both of my dogs who are typically skeptical of new people. They felt right at home with Nate and I couldn’t appreciate it more.”
About: My goal is to give your pup a happy and careful walk/stay. I have a great passion for animals and have been around them my entire life. I no longer have pets of my own, but I'd love to spoil your fur baby! I am currently a full time student so I will have plenty of time for walks, play time, and snuggles between classes and study breaks. I dont have a yard, but there are several parks near by if youre comfortable allowing your pet in public parks. If not, im happy to walk them till theyre nice and worn out. I don't have a crate, so if you would like your pet crated during the night please bring your own.

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.
“I could not recommend Hillary enough! She is kind, patient, communicative and takes the best photos of the best adventures 🥰 She is the perfect choice for someone to trust with your pet!”
About: I have no professional experience with pets, but I grew up with a dog throughout my childhood and I love spending time with cats and dogs I am not working currently so I have plenty of time to take care of pets and I am free basically every day of the week I live alone with no pets or roommates, so my whole apartment is open and I have the time to make sure any pets are looked after throughout the day
About: Spent extensive time caring after my families dogs & cats as well as the pets of my neighborhood. I also look after my friends cats and dogs of Boston and Maine. Comfortable with walking, playing with, feeding, and even some light training with dogs. I don’t have certifications with dog training but I would be happy to reinforce training you do with them for some light commands. I work in sales in a fairly fluid environment. I spend some time at home and the rest of my time around the city and greater Boston. Drop in pet care/walking fits perfectly into my schedule as I can work from my computer and travel when needed. I do have a fenced in yard but I’m not currently accepting pet care in my own home outside of the critters I already have. I may open up to this in the future but I do use a lot of space In my car already.
