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!”

I’m beyond grateful for the care they provided and would definitely trust them again!”

“Yingzi was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my cats and was incredibly thorough and attentive throughout the entire stay. 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!”

“Isabelle did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were traveling! She was very responsive on chat, and took amazingly cute photos of our boy during each check-in (I seriously don't know how she captured so many with him sticking his tongue out). We also really appreciate her flexibility with scheduling a last-minute meet-and-greet prior to our trip. Highly recommended and would totally book again.”
“I could sit here and rave over and over again about Emily! I am a very anxious cat mom and she handled my cats and mostly me with grace. I never felt like they were in bad hands. My little girls are very needy and also love Emily. Shes so kind and loving to them. Could not recommend her more.”
“Sasha was a wonderful caretaker for our cat! She was very responsive, kept us aware of the goings on in the apartment, and took some stellar photos of her. Highly recommend! Thanks Sasha!”
“Aaron was fantastic! We had an initial zoom check in to make sure all parties are aligned. However, I hadn’t realized that Rover hadn’t updated my address and therefore, Aaron saw a different location as to my current one. Despite the new location being further away Aaron went in and made sure to keep the food and water bowls filled up. Unfortunately my cat didn’t come out the entire time he was there. But he still sent me pictures from her hiding spot under the bed. I am truly grateful for Aaron on following through despite location change.”

“Eleanor was great with my cats! She gave them plenty of cuddles and love. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos and wouldn't hesitate to book again with her! 10/10 would recommend.”
About: Cats have a special place in my heart. I’ve grown up around cats and have experience caring for different personalities from shy, independent kitties to curious who love to cuddle. I focus on keeping their routine consistent and creating a calm, stress-free environment. I’m comfortable with litter box care, enrichment play, and giving space when it’s needed. I also know how important trust is with cats, so I move at their pace, keep things clean, and send regular photo updates so you always know how your kitty is doing.
“Nick took such good care of our cats (daily check-ins while we were away for a week), sending us detailed daily updates and photos and going above and beyond to check on questions we had while we were away. One of our cats is very shy and hides whenever someone new comes over, but Nick managed to find him even in his sneakiest hiding places and get pictures of him so we could see him. We highly recommend Nick and look forward to working with him in the future!”
“Maanya took great care of our cat! She made sure he was comfortable around her and he warmed up to her quickly. She also promptly responded to all my messages and requests. I highly recommend her!”
“Thomas provided excellent care for my cat. He was very responsive, responsible and caring and followed my instructions. I appreciate the time and effort he made to interact and play with my cat to keep him active. The daily updates and photos were reassuring that all was well.”
“Susie always takes such good care of my cat - she's attentive to all of Mocha's needs and comforting to her in all of her visits, including administering her daily medication and making time for play. The frequent photos and updates are always so appreciated. I can tell Mocha always has a wonderful time with Susie while I'm away. I'd recommend Susie to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much for all the times you've cared for Mocha!”
“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!!”
“Leah was a fantastic cat sitter for the weekend. She is REALLY good with detailed instructions and kept in close communication with me! My cats are on complicated feeding and medication schedules, and she handled it all perfectly. Most of all, my shy cat warmed up to her super quickly which is a rare occurrence! I cannot recommend Leah enough for pet sitting, and I will 100% be reaching out to her again.”
“Cameron did a wonderful job looking after our cats while we were away on a long trip! He was communicative, flexible, and sent lots of pics. It is clear that Ferdi and Fiona enjoyed his company, and we would happily have him back to watch them anytime!”

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: I have been working personally and professionally with dogs for years. I've raised 3 puppies, and worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility, so I know all about keeping fur babies safe and happy. I have my own Golden Retriever who LOVES to make new friends! I'm an avid runner in my free time, so trust me for some great walks! I'm currently a student, so my schedule is entire open Fri-Sun to spend quality time with your pup. I am also available during the week in the mornings and evenings. My main concern in safety. Before bringing a dog into a new environment, I ensure that there are no foreign objects that are potentially harmful that a dog could ingest. I also have experience with determine dog behavior: whether they feel threatened, anxious, etc. I make a commitment to all dog owners that I will keep an eye on their pets to the best of my ability, especially if I have observed concerning behavior. I believe communication with the owner is the most important aspect.

She made sure my little girl, who is only 2 months, had ample potty breaks and lots of love. I’d recommend highly and will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you Andrea from Tula and me!”
“Yuna had such a wonderful time at daycare with August and Miu Miu! August was so communicative and kind and treated Yuna like a princess. Highly recommend this lovely family for any pet care needs!!”

“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!”

“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!”
About: You can rest easy with your animals in my care. I've spent years studying animal health, behavior, and nutrition, and I'm trained on basic animal first aid. I've petsit dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles, and even crabs! I am flexible and communicative and willing to work. Please reach out - I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I currently have an open schedule with flexibility for pet care throughout the day. I start my day around 6am, so feel free to reach out for early-morning needs! I recently moved to the area and my apartment does not allow pets (except my guinea pigs, luckily!), so I currently only offer house visits. I will always respect your home, space, and pets. Let me know of any special accommodations or anything else in the house that might require my attention.
About: I have been the family/neighborhood cat and dog-sitter for years. From small little puppies and cats to Bernese Mountain dogs even larger than me! I am currently working part-time as a teacher so there is flexibility in my schedule to make time for pet visits, walks, or even overnight stays. I take long walks almost daily so having a furry companion with me would make them that much better. I always make sure any doors that need to remain shut are kept closed so no pets make their way into something they shouldn’t. Allergies are always noted in my phone, along with closest animal hospital just in case.
About: I’ve been doing drop-in visits for friends and family’s pets since I was 15. Never had a pet myself due to my parents’ allergies, so I love giving extra love and attention to other peoples’ furry friends. When I was a junior in high school I even built a local dog park for my Girl Scout Gold Award project, just to help local dogs have more fun letting out their energy. I’m happy to attend to your animals specific wants, like a snuggly or energetic pet, or one of those pets that has a little hidey hole to check in on. My work schedule is hybrid, so I can easily care for your pet while working. I’m always working from home Mondays and Fridays, and I can take on any other day of the week as well, as long as I have a few days notice. I’m happy to meet with your pet ahead of time to let them get to know me while you’re home. I’m used to building trust slowly over time with animals.
“Mackenzie is amazing, the best care taker for Minnie we could've asked for. She really treats Minnie like she's her own dog and is kind, caring and understanding of Minnie's needs. Thank you Mackenzie!”
“Yingzi was a wonderful help when I needed a dog walker in a pinch. She was very polite, professional, and made sure she understood all my dog's needs! Yangzi clearly loves and understands dogs and I could tell that my dog Katana loved walking with her! She's very thoughtful and I would definitely recommend her to others.”
“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: I have been working as a dog walker since my early adolescence and have experience with all different sizes and breeds. I am an avid dog lover, and have one of my own! I know how much energy dogs can have and how much attention they deserve, and will treat yours as family. I am a freelance worker with a flexible schedule, and am looking to fill in the gaps with the joy of taking care of dogs and cats! I work to make sure that your pet feels comfortable and safe around me in whichever environment that may be. We will establish a relationship with one another, and once there is trust we will go about the daily routine that you have in place for them!

“"I cannot recommend Patrick enough as a dog sitter. From the moment we confirmed our reservation with him, I knew we were in good hands. As a first-time user of Rover, I had my fair share of concerns, but Patrick quickly alleviated them with his professionalism and attentiveness. While my son was primarily looking after our dog during our vacation, he had to leave for a work trip before our return. Patrick's location was a blessing in disguise, as it was incredibly convenient for my son to drop off our beloved nine-year-old Portuguese water dog, Kismet, on his way to the airport. Upon our arrival back home, we were able to pick up Kismet directly on our route home with the help of an Uber, thanks to Patrick's thoughtful planning. Throughout the entire process, Patrick was accommodating, reassuring, and truly went above and beyond to ensure Kismet's well-being and our peace of mind. It was evident that Kismet was well cared for and content in Patrick's care. Without a doubt, I will not hesitate to entrust Patrick with Kismet's care again in the future. His dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make him a standout dog sitter, and I am grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring individual to look after our furry family member. Thank you, Patric, for your exceptional service and for providing us with peace of mind during our time away."”
