We will definitely be booking with Jess again for our travel boarding needs!”

About: Hi! I’m a full-time dog handler with Boston for the Dogs, and your pup’s new favorite human. I’ve got real-world experience with: Basic obedience & leash skills Light socialization for shy or rowdy pups Solo walks, group walks, and pack hikes all over the city I’ve raised and worked with dogs my whole life — so when yours is with me, they’re treated like family. I show up on time, read the vibe, and make sure your dog feels safe, seen, and totally spoiled (in the right ways). Let’s make your life easier — and your dog’s a lot more fun. I’m a full-time dog handler, so pet care is already built into my daily routine — making sure animals are safe, happy, and cared for is second nature. I offer part-time pet sitting from my home, and I’m available for longer stays if I’m caring for your pup in your home. I also do afternoon drop-ins, weekday and weekend walks, and morning let-outs before 9 AM. Whether I’m stopping by or staying over, I follow your instructions to a T — feeding, meds, crate time, you name it. Your dog gets daily exercise, lots of love, and the kind of attention that makes them feel like you're still home. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive care and maintain the standards your pet is used to.
About: I have been a dog owner for many years, with a major preference for small dogs. Not only do I have lots of experience caring for my own pets, but I have sat and cared for the dogs of many different friends and family, as well as those I don’t personally know well, over the years. I am patient, loving, always try to have fun with the dogs, and always try to give them the best care possible. I’ve had dogs all my life. I got my first dog, Lukey, when I was young and he was my best friend. Originally got him for my mother to keep her company, but fell in love with him myself and made him my own once she passed. I’d take him through the woods on walks and we eventually became inseparable. He passed at age 18. Eventually I met a woman who had two dogs of her own and they became like my kids. I had them for many years, although sadly they are all passed now as well. Currently I help care for two dogs with my ex who lives in the apartment below me, as we are still good friends. I make sure they are well cared for and take them out regularly. I love to play with them. I take dogs very seriously as they are like family to me. I can currently work Monday-Saturday, with exceptions. I do have to schedule around some minor things early in the morning, and those take priority, and those can be discussed, but otherwise I’m completely free. I love animals and always try to give them 100% of the love and attention they deserve. I feed them, walk them, take them out and play with them, and always try to give them my best. I’ve always treated my own dogs as if they were my children, and I extend that to any dog I care for.
“Susannah is wonderful and so professional! She was super flexible when our plans changed due to a storm and was able to make sure our cat oke was well taken care of. We have worked with Susannah for drop ins and also house sitting and we highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch our cat again soon! She was also very attentive to our concerns about leaving our cat due to his recent health issues and she did a great job of keeping a close eye on him and providing us with updates and cute photos :) she also reassured us that she could provide medication if needed for him but he was luckily a healthy cat and had no health issues when we were gone, likely because Susannah did such a great job. Thank you so much Susannah!!!”
“Ann Marie did a wonderful job looking after our cat, Noodle! She sent us updates with photos every day and we returned home to a happy and healthy cat. Would absolutely recommend her and use her again to cat-sit!”
“Molly was absolutely fantastic! She assured me she catproofed her apartment, sent me updates, and made she my kitties felt comfortable. Thank you so much Molly, I’m glad I had such a kindhearted person looking after my cats. Definitely will be rebooking and recommending her to my family and friends! 💕🐱”
“Margaret was very friendly, kind, and communicative! My cats really liked her at their meet n greet. When I got home after my trip, the cats were relaxed and content. I’ll definitely hire Margaret again!”
“I'm very thankful for Wanda because I was away overseas and my previous sitter had to cancel.. this was not a situation any pet parent should ever be put through and I was able to get ahold of Wanda who came to the rescue even without me being there to show her the procedure for taking care of my 2 cats. (Granted, I had a Youtube video giving an overview of the process and I gave her the codes to my lockbox and my home alarm which all went smoothly.)”

“Jamie was great! Was flexible with an early pickup, communicated quickly, and took good care of our pup. Benji immediately made himself at home and seemed sad to go, he enjoyed his time with Jamie and Sammie.”
“Ling and Ye were great with my puppy! I had to work a very, very long day and they were very accommodating with an early drop off and late pick up. They also made me feel comfortable by sending pictures throughout the day to reassure me that she was having a great day. I will definitely hire them again!”
“Kayla took great care of Ruby while dog sitting. She provided plenty of updates and my pup had fun day with Kayla and her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kayla again for sitting!”

“Wanda was very responsive and able to accomidate my dog at the last minute. She did a great job taking care of my pup for the day and I'd definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a good sitter.”
About: I have one dog and have fostered over a dozen others, including various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience working with super energetic dogs and reactive dogs and love training! I am home for the summer, and I am available all day, because I am working from home! My schedule is very flexible so let me know what works best for you :). Safety is always my number one priority. I have lots of experience reading animal behavior. Please tell me what I should know about your pets or before coming to your home, and if there are any precautions you would like me to take in order to keep your pets happy and healthy! I will always keep dogs on leash, and keep water and treats with me. Will send updates and picture/videos too!
“Debbie is absolutely amazing! We booked with her on short notice for doggy daycare, and we are so grateful to have found her. She has a wonderful fenced outdoor area for the dogs to play in, and an equally pet-friendly home. Debbie followed my dog's feeding and medication schedule perfectly, and she was very flexible and understanding when we needed to shift our pick up and drop off times on the second day. She also sent pictures and updates and was awesome with communication during the stay so that we were able to rest assured our dog was doing well. Don't hesitate for a minute to book with Debbie - you will not be disappointed! :)”
About: As dedicated pet owners, for the past two years, my partner, and I have cared for our two beloved cats, Sylvia, and Meatball, and our playful puppy, Saturn, a pitbull boxer mix who loves making new furry friends. We pride ourselves are being detail, oriented, and committed to ensuring that every pet in our care feels at home with constant updates and being always available to answer questions and offer constant reassurance. We are at adult only home with everything that you may need including bowls, toys, and a crate. We will follow all instructions to T and make sure that, your fur baby is in loving and capable hands. My partner and I are typically available on the weekends unless otherwise. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so if needed for a day or for any other services, including walking, I would be available. My partner and I like to stick to a routine for all of our pets And in the care of another fur baby we would ideally like to stick to the same routine that we implemented in our home. In terms of behavior, we are willing to help pets with basic commands, while, watching out for any unusual signs of the pets behavior and notifying the parent ahead of time just ensure that everyone is on the same page. When going outside for exercise, we will ensure that your dog is in a close space unless you stay otherwise just for safety and security.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and they have always been one of my major passions. From small animals, to dogs and cats, to chickens, livestock, and horses - I've seen it all! I spent some time as a animal science/pre-vet student before Covid, and worked for a horse breeder/trainer for 3 years where I coordinated daily care for our animals, as well as helped client's with training and lessons while taking a break from university. I have since graduated and been immersed in the world of financial services for the last few years, and work from home along with my father. We both enjoy walking, and live right on the Blue Hills Skyline trail, so can go for a quick loop or 9 mile hike out of our back door. We also have a gated portion of the yard off of the patio, as well as a large front grass field that are all welcome to be taken advantage of by our four-legged friends. We lost our family dog about 2 years ago and enjoy having a furry friend in the house, but are not ready for the heartbreak that eventually comes along with bringing another dog into our family. We would love to host your dog as a part of our family to enjoy our attention, care, and access to great outdoor amenities for a dog that likes to explore, sniff, or go on hikes. Also great for a dog that enjoys having a fenced area. I work from home every day of the week, so I don't have any requirements to be out of the house. I tend to wake up on the earlier side and enjoy going for a walk, as well as a walk around lunchtime and the evening. I am consistent with whatever routine your dog requires, and like to cater towards what makes them the happiest and most at home. Your dog will have nearly 24/7 attention, and I am very glad to provide! We have a number of options in our home depending on your comfortability with your dogs access to the home/garden. We have a fenced area off of the side of the house with an attached mudroom (if dogs prefer to sleep alone, this can be a good option), as well as a large front field and access to the Blue Hills hiking trails. The kitchen is gated, so we tend to spend time in this space with the dog to keep an eye on them. We have a large crate available and are happy to set up your dogs crate if needed. We are happy to allows the dogs on the living room couch, but can keep them off if you prefer them to keep their feet on the floor - we have a large variety of dog beds as well throughout the house. The dogs are welcome in the bed/bedroom depending on your preferences, just let me know where you would like them to stay. There are currently no animals in the home.
About: As a new pet sitter on Rover, what sets me apart from others is the genuine love and lifelong connection I have with animals. Growing up in the Philippines, I had the privilege of taking care of three dogs and two cats from a young age, instilling in me a deep appreciation for the unique needs and personalities of each pet. Additionally, my two years of experience nurturing my own cat, Tippy here in the US, has honed my skills in understanding and catering to pets' emotional and physical well-being. I was able to teach him some tricks too like sit, stand, stay, and go before he dug to his food, jump, and down. I am committed to providing a loving and nurturing environment for pets in my care, ensuring they feel secure and cherished while their owners are away. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I am committed to providing the best care for your furry companions like they are my own. Currently, I am taking online classes which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to your pets daily. With this schedule, I can offer three visits per day to ensure that your pets receive the care, love, and attention they need. Whether it's feeding, playtime, walks, or just some quality companionship, I am here to make sure your pets are happy and well-cared for throughout the day. In my home, my pet enjoys a safe, cozy environment with all the essentials, including free spaces to walk around, food, water, and toys. I stick to his routines, offering regular meals, clean water, exercise, and a pet-friendly atmosphere. When caring for pets in a future client's own home, I prioritize routine consistency and safety. I follow specific instructions, feeding schedules, and engage in interactive play, walks, or cuddle time for their well-being. I'm adaptable, ensuring each pet's unique needs are met with love and attention.
About: I have a strong speciality working with felines and canines. Throughout the years, having pets of my own and pet sitting, I gained hands-on experience providing safe, effective, feeding, bathing, cleaning, and enrichment (including exercise) to varying animals through positive reinforcement. Additionally, taking animal behavior courses over the year's I learned a strong understanding how to interpret and respond to different species behaviors, such as fear. I then translated this knowledge working with fearful and traumatized canines to build their trust over time and to create positive associations in my personal time. I currently have a part-time job and can ensure to make your schedule fit into mine. I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them. When I’m caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible — same walk times, meals, and plenty of play and cuddle time. In my home, I make sure there’s a comfy spot for naps, space to play, and lots of attention. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with respect and care. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know what makes each one comfortable and content.
“Ann-Marie has been watching my little guy Ollie and she has been the best. She has been allowing me to work in peace. She cares for him like her own and I would recommend her to anyone.”
“This was Freddy’s first time staying with Natalie and everything went beautifully! Natalie was very attentive to all of Freddy’s needs and reassured me that he was doing really well throughout the day. I fully anticipate using Natalie again as a sitter for Freddy! I highly recommend! ✅”
About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.

“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”
“Nicole is terrific, even with the most moody and eccentric dog on the planet. One day he walks fine, another he won't budge-she knew how to roll with whatever mood my dog was in to make sure his needs were met.”
About: I have lovingly taken care of my dog for the past 7 years and have been trusted with caring for my neighbor's dogs of many sizes and breeds. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I will most likely be available any day of the week and anytime for you and your dog's needs. I promise to be respectful of both your dogs and your home. Having an energetic dog who overheats quickly, I have experience in providing safe walks and playtime in the summer heat. I am also more than capable of whatever things your dog may need such as bathroom breaks, crating, or feeding.
About: I’ve been a dog owner myself, so I understand the love, patience, and responsibility that come with caring for a pet. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also looked after dogs for family members and close friends by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and keeping them company while their owners were away. As a CNA, I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following routines and instructions carefully. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I enjoy spending my free time with dogs. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and longer visits when needed. I keep my availability up to date and will always do my best to accommodate your schedule while providing reliable, loving, and attentive care for your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I treat every dog like they’re my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring and dependable hands.
About: As a fellow pet owner, I understand there’s no greater worry than leaving a beloved, nonverbal family member behind while you’re away. I promise to provide your pet with the best care l can offer, full of warmth, kindness and purpose. My part-time schedule gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with your furry friends, keeping your dogs or kitties happily entertained while you are away! I am also available to host dogs for overnight stays, whether it is boarding for a long weekend or housesitting for your convenience. Let’s coordinate to make this experience worry-free for both you and your pet. I have a cozy fenced yard and a doggy friendly backyard. I am also very careful with the plants around the property to remain pet-safe.
“Leo’s walked our dog three times now, and they’ve been doing a really great job! Dog in question is a 9 month old puppy (ball of energy) and Leo’s been great with him. Leo’s training as a certified trainer is a big plus, since they can keep up with the loose leash training when we’re not around. We’re big fans!”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover and cat owner with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds. I understand that every pet has unique needs and strive to provide the attentive, loving care they deserve. I have a flexible part-time schedule and primarily offer drop-in visits for cats, dogs, and other small pets. I'm often available for same-day or short-notice requests, and I'm happy to help with vacation coverage or other short-term care needs. My availability is best suited for occasional, as-needed care rather than recurring weekly visits. I always aim to care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client's home, I follow their pet's usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), litter box or cleanup care, and plenty of attention and companionship to help them feel at ease while their owner is away.
“Amanda was excellent! She was very kind, sweet and attentive with my puppy and took him on a nice long walk. She made sure to ask any questions and communicate everything, and we were able to trust her with our pup and our house while we were gone. We will definitely look to book with Amanda in the future next time we need a dog walker!”
“Molly is outstanding!! I am a very anxious person when it comes to leaving my dogs in the hands of someone else and I cannot emphasize enough how caring, loving and attentive she has been with my pups! Highly recommended Molly if you are looking for an extra hand with your furry loved ones!”

About: I have been around dogs all of my life. Growing up in the Hudson Valley, we had two dogs: an American Pit Bull Terrier and an APBT Staffie mix. They were the most athletic and lovey dogs! They completed a five mile hike that has a fairly long and vertical scramble section at 14 years old! In their senior years, they had medical issues so I am experienced with med management and adopting activities to their capabilities. Currently, my fiance and I have a half APBT, half Siberian Husky dog. He is the best! We adopted him from a family that kept him in his crate for so long that he bit off a large portion of the hair on his tail. He was reactive in the beginning, lunging at cars on the road and barking and lunging at dogs on walks. I used Spirit Dog Training’s reactivity course and my education in behavioral psychology and research to fix these issues. He no longer does either things and his hair has grown back in spades! We keep him busy by training him (tricks) and mentally stimulated with sniff walks and games like find it, as well as off leash time, hikes, runs, etc. We love hiking with Oto: he recently completed numerous hikes in Acadia National Park and has done Camel’s Hump in VT and Mt. Osceola in NH: he plans on completing the NH 48! In general, I love being outside and active: hiking, snowshoeing, snowboarding, running, kayaking, rock climbing and going to the gym. I love all dogs, but have a particular drive to keep working dogs happy and healthy! German Shepherds, Border Collies, Huskies, Cattle Dogs, Anatolian Shepherds: it is amazing what they can do and how they have served our communities in numerous roles for decades. I have spent a lot of time with my sister’s German Shepherd and half GSD half Anatolian dogs. I also volunteered at a therapeutic horseback riding center and rode horseback for several years; I find being around horses to be great training for how to interact with, and train, dogs. They are so big that they don’t HAVE to listen to you. Maintaining confidence (even if you don’t feel like it) and a steady hand go a long way, as well as keeping aware of their body language and behaviors. They are very sensitive creatures. In the Fall of 2026, I am resuming my graduate program in clinical social work and have indicated my availability in the details section. However, those times and days don't apply during winter and summer breaks (open availability then). Please share your dog's behaviors and needs with me before scheduling walks. If your dog is reactive (barks at dogs on walks or lunges) please let me know and I can adjust the walking route and make sure to give other dogs plenty of space. Let me know what their usual distance on walks is, as I can try to adjust my pace accordingly. I have a lot of experience with this (decades). If you have treats for your dog, I can take them out with me if needed.
“Sarah is hands down the best choice for dog walking! Sarah has made sure that my dog has taken her medication on days she spits it out in her bowl, always makes sure she has water, and is cognizant of how much a dog can handle in weather extremes. She sends detailed updates that I look forward to every day, and with some pretty sweet pics too! I can’t say enough good things about Sarah. Professional, reliable, consistent, and a true dog lover. She lets my dog set the pace of the walk and leaves time for lots of sniffs and rolling in the grass, evidence of a happy dog. If you’re looking for a dog walker you can trust in your home and with your pets, look no further!”

“Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!”
“Can’t say enough great things about Jess and her family, and the care they provided for our pup! Kona spent a little over a week with Jess and we are so happy with the care she received. We were sent frequent updates, and never worried about Kona. She had a ton of fun, and was tired from all the fun she had when we picked her up. We will definitely be booking with Jess again for our travel boarding needs!”
“Dana is the best sitter around! He went above and beyond when we forgot to bring a leash and bowl insisting he could take care of it and that he would buy a leash! He is so kind and understanding. Best of all, once again Bella absolutely loved her stay with Dana”
“My dogs loved their time with Casey! She is so kind and took such wonderful care of our dogs. She has wonderful communication skills and sent us a bunch of adorable photos of our dogs when they were with her. Thank you again, Casey! We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Su took such good care of my sweet girl!! His home is a lovely space and is very welcoming for a visitor. He sent detailed updates with photos so I always knew my pup was doing great. He really seemed to care about her happiness and well-being! I am so grateful! I hope to use his services again!”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care Michelle and her son extended to Clare. Michelle exuded confidence right off the bat as a pet lover. And when our flight was delayed, she was non-pulsed when we needed her to keep Clare for an extra, unplanned overnight. We look forward to calling on Michelle again!”
“Debbie was a fantastic Rover sitter. Coordinating our dog’s stay was very easy. She was a great communicator with lots of sweet photo and video updates. Our dog came home happy, healthy and tired! I would recommend Debbie to anyone and our family will absolutely use her services in the future!”
