During the heat wave, she went the extra mile by making sure the AC was turned on when needed and even refilled Kali’s water bowl with ice to keep her comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m a college student with a lifelong love for cats and all animals. I grew up surrounded by pets and began fostering rescue kittens in my early teens—two of whom I happily adopted. Today, I care for 3 cats and 2 dogs, and my bond with them is incredibly special. One of my cats recently underwent multiple cancer treatments, so I’m experienced and comfortable caring for sick or special-needs cats with patience and gentleness. I understand the unique personalities, behaviors, and needs of cats—from playful kittens to aging companions—and I treat each one with the love and attention I give my own. Being with animals makes me feel at home, and I’d be honored to care for your feline family members.
“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 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.
“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!”
“As usual, my dog loves Ray, Ray does a great job of taking care of her and communicating about it, and I can rest easy enjoying dog-free events knowing that she’s in good hands. Thanks Ray!”
“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.”
“Tara & Logan have taken great care of my dog, Charlie! Due to his old age, I am nervous to leave him with anyone, but they are fantastic. Very communicative and responsive. He comes home a happy little guy. Very grateful we found them!”
“Quincy had a great day staying with Bella! Bella communicated well and was happy to do a meet and greet with us before booking. We love that her roommates and friends are around so even when she’s in class, there’s often someone home to keep Quincy cuddly. Would definitely book Bella 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! :)”
“Karina is great! My dog Kobi is pretty nervous and timid around strangers and deals with separation anxiety too but Karina did a great job looking after him and I’m glad he made a friend with Luka too!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My family has always had a family dog. I have experience with all sizes and ages. I am very attentive to a dog’s needs and wants. I just graduated from an occupational therapy graduate program. I am in the process of applying and interviewing for jobs, which leaves my schedule quite flexible. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. If I were to be in your home, I will leave it just as/nicer than I found it and your pup will even be happier. I understand that it takes a lot of trust to allow someone into their home and to take care of a loved one, and I will do everything in my power to keep that trust safe and build from it.
“Kisses (my pup) is soooo lucky to have a friend like Suzete! Consistently showing up and being present and patient! Helping Kisses grow out of her comfort zone but always making sure she is safe! She comes back after a walk sooo happy and excited! We love Suzete! She’s the absolute best!”
“Tori is so great with my dog Rubin. They developed a strong bond, and she spent time getting to know what Rubin likes and needs. Tori is100% reliable and is popular among other dog owners in Cambridge. I recommend her totally.”
“Stephanie did an amazing job walking Mookie! She was incredibly helpful and showed so much patience during their first meeting, making sure Mookie felt comfortable and at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared about making the experience great for both of us. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog walker. Mookie can’t wait for his next walk with her!”
“Absolutely loved having Lynne as our dog walker! She was awesome - super friendly and had great communication throughout. She walked our dog, Liliboo, for 3 days and instantly became his new best friend. Lynne kept me updated every day with messages, notes, and adorable pics that made me smile. I could tell Liliboo absolutely adored her - he was so happy and comfortable. Can’t wait to book her again! Highly recommend!”
“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.”
About: I was a long time pet parent for over 20 years. I've lived in the East Cambridge area for over 3 years and know all the best spots for walks. I stay home most of the day, so I can keep a close eye on your pet. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I'm available most days from morning to late afternoon. I'm happy to work with you to find a time that works best for everyone. I was previously a realtor assistant and have 10+ years of experience entering other's homes, respecting privacy, and making sure to securely lock the entryways before leaving.
“Rachel was a huge help when I was out of town for the weekend, walking and feeding my girl who has some behavioral issues. She was communicative, kind, and most of all - great with my pup! Thanks for everything and will definitely book again!”
About: I have tons of pet sitting experience, while I was applying for graduate school it was a main source of income. I often would stay in people’s homes taking care of up to three dogs at once, had numerous household where I fed and played with cats and even small kittens. I also spent time nannying the sweetest two year old for 7 months until I had to move (children and pets aren’t quite the same, but also they are both family). I even managed to keep an eye out for the two-year-olds two Siamese cats. I am eagerly waiting to have my own pet but am waiting for more stability in my life so I like to find other ways to be around animals until then. I am a current grad student, I have class on Monday morning, Tuesday evening, all day Thursday and Friday mornings! I have a lot of time free on weekends/my schedule is very adaptable since I just have to go into my art studio to get work done. I live in a small apartment, but could host pets for a day! I have a lot of dog and cat sitting experience, and am extremely communicative/available
“Beth is wonderful - very flexible with scheduling, very accommodating with my dog with special needs, and so patient with him. We are lucky to have found Beth and highly highly recommend her!”
“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.”
About: I have been an animal lover in my whole life growing up. I had a white cocker spaniel named Rainbow (that was the first thing I thought of when I got him as a five-year-old). she sparked a lifelong love for pets since then I’ve carried for cats and dogs of many friends and family members. I am currently a full-time student. I am able to have drop in visits on the weekends and also some time during the week. I can do doggy day care during the weekends and a few days during the week as well. I am able to on-board depending on a few factors and house sit. I do live in an apartment with a few other roommates who can help take care and provide services. There is a park near where I live which I can take them too.
About: Growing up in TX and visiting family in India, I've spent a lot of time with animal friends - dogs, cats, goats, cows, chickens, and sometimes horses and monkeys(!). I've been pet sitting on and off for most of my life. I'm EMT-certified (for humans) and just love creatures and critters of all shapes and sizes. I work part-time and live in Somerville (seasonal assistant coach for the Harvard Women’s Varsity Volleyball team until early December playoffs) and we usually have practices from 4-6pm and run film a few times a week during the day. Some weekends we’re traveling for away games. I’m happy to work out best times to drop by! My sublease doesn’t allow pets, and I don’t love staying in someone’s home overnight when they’re not there for liability and safety reasons, but if you’re in dire straits we can definitely talk about it! I love going on walks and have a ton of energy, so I often feel like the doggos are taking me for a walk. Ha! We can talk about how much exercise they need, and where you prefer I walk them!!
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have walked neighbors' dogs and watched their hamsters, Guinea pigs, and cats since I was 9! I have experience with every type of pet, from puppies to senior cats, and would love to show your animal some love :) I have had the privilege of volunteering with Broken Tail Rescue weekly for over a year, so I am very well-versed in caring for all kinds of cats and dogs. I am a grad student at Harvard University and have a very flexible schedule. I can be available at most reasonable times, just reach out! I will feed, walk, and play with your pets and do other things such as change litter or give meds as needed. I do all of these things with my animals at home!
“Savannah takes care of my dog everyday. She is a wonderful and reliable friend for him, takes him to different places to explore Cambridge, and makes him happy. I am so glad I found Savannah and recommend her completely.”
“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 have tried to live life around as many animals as possible. Grew up with dogs and cats and now am a proud cat dad. I pride myself on being punctual, responsible, and caring. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends for years. Being a Rover customer has encouraged me to be the best possible sitter, walker, visitor that I could be. I respect people's boundaries and animal's boundaries as well. I would prefer to meet you and your pet before we confirm sitting or visits just to make sure everyone is comfortable(especially your pets!). I am currently working part time and have lots of available time to walk, sit, and visit your cats or dogs. I can do multiple visits per days in Somerville if need be. I would prefer to take time to meet you and your pets before booking. I fully understand the concerns of having people in your home and treat spaces like I would want my home treated. I'm happy to clean litter boxes per directions and would always put things (food, leashes, toys, etc..) back in their place as directed. if you were to be out of town and asked me to retrieve mail, monitor lights and other utilities I would do that to the best of my abilities as well. As someone who has had Rover sitters come visit my cat Pepper I appreciate that extra effort that many of them have put forth. I would also be happy to communicate all visits through the app or phones with pictures and quick updates.
About: I've grown up around dogs and love spending time with them. I deeply miss my family dog who I always spoil when I visit. Outside of my family I regularly am my friends go to care taking/ walking person. I'm comfortable with dogs of any size except extra-large breeds. I can also give medication that's mixed into food, though I'm not set up for injections. I live with roommates who also have pet care experience in a quiet household. My schedule is flexible I work from home, so I can offer more consistent attention and some flexibility around visit times. My neighborhood has several parks nearby and is easy and pleasant to walk around, so walks are never just a quick lap around the block. I am currently working part time and am available for weekly or even daily times! My schedule will be updated regularly to reflect any unavailability ahead of time. My home is currently pet free and I have a large living room area they can explore around. Before any pets visit I make sure there isn't anything that they shouldn't interact with. I clean the space and check for any plants that may need to be moved around and I can keep them crated if needed too.
