“Alan and Ying are beyond attentive, made us feel very comfortable and confident when leaving our pup with them. Great communication across the board!”
“We love Emily!!! Our dog was so comfortable at her home. Emily treated him like family. Her home is cozy, comfy and safe. She took him on long nature walks. Will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Our puggle Bailey stayed with Mike for 10 days and she had a blast. Mike kept me updated with texts and pics and she looked to be having a lot of fun with the other dogs. I would definitely use Mike again and highly recommend him!!”
“We don't have enough great things to say about Andrea and her family! Andrea was responsive, flexible and caring. It has been pleasure to find such a wonderful caretaker for our pooch!”
“Hyesoo and her family took really good care of my puppy, Lily. The pictures and updates that Hyesoo sent us made us enjoy our own vacation because I knew that Lily was having a great time with Som, Hyesoo’s puppy. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely call her again!”
“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!”
“First time booking Winn, but very impressed! Easy and flexible communication, and I appreciated the chance for a meet and greet before the booking date to touch base in person. Will definitely be booking Winn again!”
“Tara was amazing with Mochi. We went on three separate trips during June and were really worried about leaving Mochi so much. But Tara loved on Mochi as much as we do and Mo loved staying with her. I have never seen Mo so excited to go to a sitter's house! Tara kept us updated with pictures and spoiled Mo every time! We are so thankful to Tara, Leo, and of course, the beautiful Allston for their hospitality!”
“Jing is amazing. We had such a wonderful experience with her and her delightful family. I was comfortable from the minute we got there for drop off and never worried for a second the entire weekend. Jing sent a ton of really cute pictures throughout our stay with her and she was very communicative. I would use her again is a second!”
“My dog was excited when I parked in front of Ismael's house as she had stayed there before. This is a great sign. Ismael shared lots of pictures of the dog and was flexible when a flight delay prevented me from picking her up as planned. This was her third stay at Ismael's house and we will definitely book again!”
“We had great experience with Nalix dog sitting our 14 year old Shitzu. Nalix took great care of our dog, keeping daily communication and pictures. She even put booties on her when it snowed so she’d feel more comfortable going on walks. We highly recommend Nalix for your next vacation.”
“I couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of my boy! He had the best time, made all the furry friends and all of the love! Jess sent me regular updates and photos of him all cuddled up and happy!”
“We wound up not booking our dog by no fault of Sarah’s (our plans changed - twice!), but she was incredibly gracious and understanding and flexible throughout. She really made it less stressful and we would happily board with her next time we travel!”
“It gave us peace of mind to know that our puppy Maple was in good hands with Michaela when we were out of town for the weekend! We appreciated the pictures and updates she sent us over text everyday. Maple had a great time playing with Monty and with the other dogs in the park right next to Michaela’s place. We will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Julie was amazing! She sent us pictures of Pepés adventures and told us about all the fun things they did. It was like a luxury vacation for pepé, he loved it. We will be return customers!”
About: I have worked with farm animals including dogs and cats for about 2 years and I own a dog and a cat! I also love interacting with animals. I am looking for a simple job to keep me active and be able to give back to my community. I would love to care for animals of all shapes and sizes while also ensuring your home and pets are safe. In my home, we have a big backyard with plenty of room for dogs and a whole separate cat room. Within another person's house I would be respecting boundaries put up around the house and being consistent and well aware of clean up! I also love getting out, which would be favorable for a dog.

“Hannah is an amazing cat sitter. Cosmo (the cat) loves her and I can always count on Hannah to be on time and send detailed updates. I unexpectedly had to extend my trip and Hannah was so flexible and stayed on longer to make sure Cosmo was cared for!!”
“Helena is amazing!! My cat is currently decompressing in a new environment and she was so adaptive and helpful even when he was hiding away. So grateful for her!”
“Aimee is genuinely the best cat sitter I've had on Rover. Not that the others were bad, but it felt like Aimee was always just a step above, in all regards. Aimee would let me know how my little cuties were doing, she'd reach out to check if something seemed amiss (less poop than usual, my kitties broke a post on the cat tree, etc.), and was super flexible with timing and a last minute change in plans. I honestly can't recommend Aimee enough. Hm... Maybe I should reconsider my review so that she doesn't get too busy. Haha!”
“Meagan is the best cat sitter I have ever had. She understands my cat and writes thorough descriptions of her visits. I could tell that my cat was happy and comfortable with her. She also does everything that I asked very diligently: I am trying to give my cat a hydration supplement and Maegan told me each time if it seemed like the cat had had some or not; she also swiped away the litter around the litter box every day. I hope she will take care of my cat again.”
“Stephanie did daily drop in visit for a week for our cat, Fish. She gave him daily pill at certain time every day, cleaned his water bowls, and checked on his litter box. She also shared many photos and videos, which we appreciated. She was friendly and gentle with him and he was very happy to have her around. We could not be happier with her care. We will be booking her again when we go out of town. Thank you!”
“We are glad we were able to have Allison look after our cat. Being a shy cat, we were surprised to see he was very comfortable with her presence via the daily Rover cards that Allison sent us. We came back to a well contented cat and would recommend Allison without hesitation.”
“Jordan was absolutely wonderful with our two kitties and kept us updated throughout our trip - it was clear from all the photos she sent how very comfortable our girls were with her. We’re very grateful for her attentive care and for treating the girls with so much love.”
“Hannah looked after my Frankie like she was her own! Gave her lots of attention and love, and sent me photos and updates everyday. Easy communication and trustworthy. Thank you, Hannah, for looking after Frankie so well!”
“This was our first time leaving our cats for more than a couple of days and Melinda was absolutely wonderful. She provided lots of really great pictures to let us know they were alright and having a good time. She took the time to play with them and spend time so they wouldn't be lonely. On top of spending time with the cats, she took a good amount of time communicating any concerns or issues with us even when they were minor, which put us at ease knowing how attentive she was.”
“Julie was the exact person I was looking for to take care of my Bengal cat Saturn while I was gone. This was the first time Saturn would be taken care of by someone who wasn’t a close friend. We met up beforehand and discussed everything. I felt very comfortable leaving Saturn in Julie’s care. She communicated well and sent pictures when she went on her drop in visits. If I wasn’t moving, I’d use Julie for all my weekends away!”
“Sarah was so great!! She really came through for a slightly last minute booking. She provided timely updates and plenty of cute pictures of our Freya 💕 It seems like our baby had such a good time ☺️ Would definitely rebook and recommend Sarah for her services!”
“Claire was a great cat sitter! She was patient and caring with our very shy cats. She was also communicative and diligent about taking care of our home. She even offered to water our plants! We will definitely be booking her again soon.”
“Lindsey was very quick to respond and extremely kind! She was able to care easily for my socially awkward cat and keep me (an anxious pet parent) updated the whole way. I would recommend to any pet parents looking for a highly reliable sitter!!”
“Jose provided incredible, consistent care for our sweet senior cat. He checked in on her daily for 3 weeks while we were away, paid extra attention to her cleanliness and nourishment, and provided reassuring updates and photos. We couldn’t be more grateful! Will book him again anytime :)”
“Sarah helped to make sure that our cat was well taken care of during our week long trip. She was attentive and our cat made a new friend quickly with love, petting, brushing and most importantly feeding. Sarah was proactive and reached out on time with questions and plenty of pictures”
“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my cats! Alexa went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I returned to two very content kitties. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”

“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”
“Alan took excellent care of my young dog who is something of an escape artist. Pilot enjoyed his time with Alan and I enjoyed knowing that Pilot was happy and safe.”
“Andrea has been lovely to work with, my dog Kiko has really enjoyed daycare with her and is always happy when I pick him up. She is very reliable and communicative and has made our first Rover experience a very good one. I will definitely continue to come to Andrea when Kiko needs a sitter!”
“Shuhua took very good care of my dog pepper while I was moving apartments. My chi was instantly in love with Shuhua and you can tell that she cares about your pets too. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”
About: I'm a longtime dog lover and have looked after the pets of friends/family for more than a decade. I work from home and have my own dog (a very friendly Sheltie), so I'm always around to look after your pup! I work from home so I have plenty of time and flexibility to look after your pup! If I have to step out for a quick errand, we have gates and crates available to keep your pet safe. We live in a residential area with lots of green spaces and a fenced dog park nearby. Our apartment is very dog-friendly, and I always make sure dogs in my care are safe and comfortable.
“She is an amazing sitter! She gave frequent updates throughout the day, and really appreciated that she went above and beyond by sending a lot of pictures. Also, I really appreciate her flexibility. If you’re in Boston, highly recommend her as your pet sitter. Go Greta (and Juniper)! 🫶✨”
“Lindsay is the best! This was our second time using her services, and we feel so comfortable leaving our pup Sammy in her care. She takes great care of Sammy, who is always happy to spend time Bentley. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“So grateful for Lauren for talking amazing care of Arlo for us! Quick response for a last minute booking for daycare and Arlo had a great time! Will definitely be rebooking!”
“I highly recommend Ling & Ye...they were fantastic! Our schedule was more dynamic than we had intended and they were very flexible. Our boy Riley, 1-year old Golden, had great time and can't wait to get back to see his new friends!”
“Tae took just a great care of Archie and it was very obvious that he had such a good time playing with Tae and her lovely Goldendoodle. He was also able to relax with the comfy bed that Tae provided. Will definitely ask for Tae’s help again in future!”
“Jackie was so communicative and took care of Rome so well. She sent updates often and asked great questions to make sure she was taking the best care of him. Would recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Natsuko and I live in Watertown with my fiancée Carson and dog Luna. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs since I was very young, and I’ve gained lots experience with dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with puppy care, including basic leash manners and crate training, and I focus on consistency and positive reinforcement so dogs feel secure while learning. I’ve also lived with dogs who have anxiety or past trauma, and have experience slowly building trust and bonds. I am currently a remote freelancer and this set up gives me great flexibility to spend quality time with my dog Luna during my workday. She LOVES other doggos and would love to play with and go on walks with a new friend! We typically go on short pee breaks once every three hours and go on two long walks every day. My schedule is very flexible so I am confident I can accommodate for the bathroom/walk/eating schedules of any dog in my care. We live in a very walkable neighborhood in Watertown with the Fresh Pond loop a quick walk away! There are many options to take dogs out for a short or long walk. In our home, we have nice open spaces for dogs to play with each other and with toys. Since we have a dog of our own, we have dog proofed our whole home. Our dog Luna loves playing with other dogs and has had no issues with socializing. If a dog in my care needs a break from playtime or gets overstimulated, we have options to separate the dogs if needed since Luna is crate trained and we have many rooms for the dogs to use.

“Kristen has been phenomenal with our dogs! I was initially nervous about having a dog walker, but Kristen has communicated constantly letting us know everything that happened each day. She sends very detailed updates with lots of cute pictures. She also has gone above and beyond cleaning up when our puppy has accidents and taking both of our dogs on long walks. I feel good knowing that she takes such good care of my babies while I’m away at work.”
“Jana has been fantastic with my elderly dog! She has been very reliable about coming at our agreed-upon time on my one long day away from the house. She gives my elderly dog her meal and takes her for a nice walk around the neighborhood. Jana sends cute photos and summaries of her visit which allow me to feel confident that my girl is being well looked after!”
“Very communicative throughout the session. Cleo and i’s first time using Rover and Kieran made the experience super easy and was very patient with Cleo to ensure she was able to fully utilize her potty break & get her steps in :)”
“Nicholas was great with our very energetic, high-maintenance pup! He was very accommodating to a last minute request and I could tell Hazel was tired out after their walks together!!”
“Kelly came over for an initial meet and greet and quick walk. She was on time, friendly, and easy to communicate with, and we’d be happy to have her care for Lewis in the future.”
“Alicia did a great job doing lunch time walks for a week on short notice. She was communicative, on time, and handled our rescue pup’s needs and tricky walking style extremely well! Would definitely hire again, and enthusiastically recommend.”
“Sydney has been amazing for our dogs Myla and Malibu. She is quick to respond, reliable and trustworthy. Our girls love their walks and drop ins from Sydney! Can not recommend someone more!”
About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I’ve been caring for pets for 8 years, and nothing makes me happier than getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I work with both dogs and cats and have experience with everything from tiny puppies to slow‑moving seniors, from shy kitties to big, energetic dogs. I grew up in a family that owned two Shar‑Peis, so I’m very comfortable with stubborn, reactive, or strong‑willed breeds. I understand body language, thresholds, and how to build trust with pets who need a little extra patience. Whether your dog is still learning manners or your cat prefers a quiet observer, I meet every animal where they are. I currently have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether you need morning, midday, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home secure, and double‑check doors and gates before leaving. I’m respectful of your space and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.
“As always, Traci had a fun week with Pablo. I so value her communication skills, dependability, good nature, and love of animals. Pablo and I look forward to next time!”
“Alissa is an amazing dog walker. We deeply appreciate how reliable and consistent she is, and how well she manages our dog with reactivity. She always comes on time and has been mindful of the summer heat when going on walks. Alissa has been an absolute asset to our family and we are wicked lucky to have her!!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for cats and dogs on Rover for about three years. I also shared my life with a beautiful cat for 16 years, and through her health challenges, I learned a lot about patience, empathy, and attentive care. I believe the key to connecting with animals is to respect and appreciate them in a gentle, thoughtful way, that’s what allows me to build real trust and closeness with them. I am a graduate student with relatively flexible schedules. I will be available during day times when I am not having classes and most of the nights. I can offer cat sitting, giving food and medicine, socialization, cleaning the litter, etc. I can also walk, groom and give food to small and medium sized dogs.
“Michelle was great! She was right on time to walk Otis and even fed him for us, and sent along pictures of him having a great time. We will definitely book Michelle again in the future.”
