About: I’m a proud dog parent to my 4-year-old dog, Simba, so I have firsthand experience with the daily care, attention, and love that dogs need. Caring for Simba has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, regular walks, playtime, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for your pet with the same love, attention, and responsibility that I give Simba. 🐾❤️ I stay at home mom so I can give full attention, follow routines and take out for walks. we also have a yard where dogs can play I have a fenced yard, and a friendly goldendoodle who can give your dog company. My goal is to help every pet feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while their family is away.
“Kayla took wonderful care of Morty during daycare. She was very kind, gentle, and attentive to him, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would happily trust her with Morty again!”
“I’ve known Junho and his adorable dog Boki since Boki was just a tiny three-month-old puppy, back when we first met in our apartment building. Over the years, I’ve seen how much care Junho gives to Boki, and how gentle and kind he is with other dogs he meets on their walks. When Junho started Rover, I knew right away that I could trust him with T-Rex. My dog requires extra care and attention due to specific conditions, and Junho followed all of my instructions thoroughly. He even sent me multiple photos and updates without me having to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Junho. He’s easy to work with, and his wonderful dog Boki will make a great companion for yours. Boki is super friendly and loves to play, but also knows how to give space if another dog isn’t in the mood.”

About: Hi! I’m Alexandra. My husband and I have been dog sitting for several years and love providing a loving home away from home for our furry guests. We have a fully fenced yard where our dogs and their doggy friends can run, play and enjoy extra company safely. I’m a full-time dog walker during the week with the flexibility and time to give your pup the care they deserve. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have volunteered with various animal rescue organizations. I have experience with many breeds and personalities, ensuring each dog gets individualized attention. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We do not have children, so dogs who prefer a child-free environment are always welcome here.

About: I’ve been around dogs for my whole life, actually I have never not had a dog. I come from a Boxer house hold, so I am especially great with bigger and energetic pups! I have experience with over night care of pets from many summers of my parents going on vacation. I just moved to Boston for my master’s degree and had to leave my childhood pup at home, so I am looking for love from a pet! It would be my pleasure to spend time with your pet! I’m currently a full time student and I commute to Boston for classes. Monday I am on campus from 1:30-5:30; Tuesday is my longest day from 11:45-8:30; Wednesday 2:50-8:30; Thursday 11:45-5:30; and Friday I don’t have class! My weekends are completely free. Outside of those time ranges Monday-Thursday I am available to care for your pets! I am very clean and respectful when being in someone else’s home. Any directions you give me I will follow! If I have any questions I will be sure to clarify with you.
“Tricia is awesome! So friendly and easy to communicate with, and a real pro! She bonded instantly with Mojo, and even showed up a little early for their walk, which worked out perfectly! Can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Barbara absolutely adored walking our Maggie. She was extremely responsible and took great care of Maggie, our tiny 6 pound dog. We loved her caring and attentive nature!! Look forward to using her again when we can!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I’ve had 5 dogs, two cats, and two ferrets total! My neighbors have relied on me to walk their dogs as well! I’m currently working a full time job with work days staring at 3, so mornings are filled with playtimes, along with checkups and walks after work. I would treat your animals the very best in your home. If you’re pets love to cuddle then that’s what I’ll do, if they prefer walks or play time I love both!!
About: Hi! My name is naomi, i am 26 and live in the greater boston area. I have joined Rover because I have loved animals , and spending time with animals for my entire life. I have had dogs all throughout my life and constantly walked my dogs on a regular basis. I also have had a dog with behavioral issues so i know how to work with all different dogs and understand that they all have different needs. I currently have 2 cats and have had cats my whole life so I am also very accustomed to taking care of cats as well as dogs! I hope to meet some incredible animals and keep them happy! My schedule is very flexible currently as I am between jobs. I also have a vehicle which makes traveling to you and your lovely pets much simpler! I ensure my pet is feeling safe and happy at all times to the best of my ability. I walk and feed the dogs and ensure they are cleaned if necessary. If I also make sure that the animal (cat or dog) has been fed and has enough water, and ensure their water is clean. If I am taking care of a cat, I would ensure their litter box is cleaned at least once a day.
About: Dogs have been part of my life as long as I can remember — I grew up with a black Lab (12 great years), have had my own dog for almost 7, and regularly watch a close friend's dog when they travel. So I'm used to slipping into someone else's routine and earning a new dog's trust while making sure they are enjoying themselves. On walks I'm patient and attentive: no phone-scrolling, pace matched to your dog, and a photo update after every visit. Happy to do a meet-and-greet first if your dog is nervous, senior, or just particular. Message me anytime. I am a Marketing Consultant by trade so I typically have time during my days to come meet up with a dog who needs some care. That's why I started my Rover profile. I love dogs and have time for them! I have two young kids and a dog at home so I'm accustomed to taking direction. Happy to follow any directions you have to care for your dog - every dog has a 'thing' :) My main goal is to always make sure the dog gets the essentials - exercise, food, water - and from there it's about happiness. I'll play, give pets, take outside in the yard...whatever the dog needs!
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have been taking care of others' pets for the past 10 years. I have experience dog and house-sitting, dog walking, and even coming over to just help some puppy energy out. I am a college student away from home looking to be both helpful in my community and to spend quality time with dogs! I am currently a student so I can fit pet care in around my classes. I typically have one midday class a day and have flexible free-time outside of classes. I have time in mornings and afternoons to come check on your pups. I know each dog and home is different. I will take time to note any and all instructions and boundaries my client may have and take them seriously. I know our pets are family and deeply valuable. I will treat each home and pup with care and respect.
