“Jing and her husband were great. They took great care of my dog for the week. Their house is in a great location and their fenced yard was great for my dog who is not always the best off leash. They clearly care for dogs. I would definitely find Jing again!”
“Zwany and Leandro are the best! They took great care of my dogs while I was away, they were very attentive and professional. You can really tell they love animals! Your beloved pets will be in great hands with them!”
“Grigorii took the best care of my dog. He was communicative, friendly, and thorough in his care. My dog is timid after a recent attack and Grigorii was patient and able to get her to come out of her shell over a few days’ stay. His dog is a sweetheart too so I felt confident the pups would get along. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and I’d be disappointed if he wasn’t available next time I need a sitter!”
“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“This was our first Rover experience and Theresa was beyond amazing! Moose had to have an unexpected medical procedure done the night before we were leaving. Theresa communicated with us from the moment we left until we got back. She sent pictures, videos, and lots of updates. She was comfortable giving him his antibiotics and made sure his incision site was clean. I cannot say enough great things about this experience. Moose already misses her and her dog, Machi.”
“Jaime was great with my mini poodle. He was with her for 8 days and she communicated daily, sent photo updates, and texted questions when needed. My pooch came home happy!”
“This is Cleo and Sansa’s second stay with them. They are very flexible with our timing and the girls love to stay with them. Will definitely keep rebooking with them!”
“Ashley was fantastic with our dog Gus! She sent lots of pictures and videos! She took him for the first time after a very last minute cancellation by another Rover provider!. We really appreciated it and would definitely recommend her!”
“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”
“Tyler was a rock star! We were up for our daughter running the Boston marathon. It was a long day and it was nice to not have to worry about Baxter. He also was able to have puppy playtime with two other guests. After a long day Tyler was there to meet us with our boy. He also sent a few pics during the day. This was our first experience with Rover and we will return.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog mom who is actively involved with a local rescue called Gals Best Pal. I have successfully fostered and homed over 13 dogs of all ages and sizes, and additionally volunteer with transports and events. For years, I have stepped in to help care for friends’ and family’s dogs when needed. Most recently, I spent the last year caring for my soul dog of six years who was diagnosed and unfortunately passed away from a rare chronic illness. Due to this experience, I am comfortable with dogs who need extra attention and daily medication since that’s the care I provided for her. Through caretaking and my fosters, I’ve become experienced with a wide range of personalities and needs. I also work from home 5 days a week, so your dog gets company and consistency all day, not just a quick visit! *Please note that there’s a friendly 8 month old GSD puppy in the house. If your pet prefers to be solo during their stay, my home can easily accommodate a no-contact visit. I’m no stranger to this, as my late dog preferred her independence too🙂 Feel free to reach out with any questions! I work from home full time, so most days your dog gets steady company, walks, and playtime built right into my routine. My only standing plans are a Monday night writing class and a Tuesday night pottery class. Both are just a couple hours each, so I’m happy to arrange coverage or crate time while I’m gone. My home currently includes my male partner and Maple, a German Shepherd puppy who’s very social. I’m happy to arrange supervised introductions if your dog wants company during their stay. And while Maple is a sweet girl, I also understand that not every dog wants a roommate 🙂 I can easily set up a no contact stay if your pup prefers time alone. Around the house, older and trained dogs get free range. Puppies who aren’t yet potty trained follow a crate routine and stay in a designated section of the house for their safety. I also have a separate office where all dogs get to hang out with me all day for extra company. The yard and patio out back aren’t fenced, so leashes or long leads come out for outdoor time. My late dog taught me just how much a pet’s environment matters to their comfort, so I take this seriously. I want every pet to feel genuinely welcome and secure in my home!
“I have nothing but good things to say about Joseph. His communication was great and he was an awesome sitter for Athena. I want to point out that I made an error in booking my dog's stay and Joseph gladly helped out and made accommodations. He definitely did not have to do that, but I was so thankful that he did! 5 stars! Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’m a caring cat and dog mom with lifelong experience with pets. I have a 3 year old cat and a 2 year old dog, who are my whole world. I love playing with energetic puppies and kittens, and I also have experience caring for sweet senior dogs, having grown up with two dogs with my parents. I’m a private music teacher with a flexible schedule and currently spend most of my time at home. Your pet will have plenty of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and personalized care based on each pet’s routine. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walks throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and I’m always happy to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible. I live with my husband, a friendly 2-year-old Bichpoo, and a calm, gentle cat. Our home is filled with cozy beds, toys, and treats for both cats and dogs. We’re also within walking distance of a dog park, making it easy to give dogs extra exercise and outdoor fun if that’s something they enjoy. We vacuum twice a day and mop every other day to keep our home clean, safe, and comfortable. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care, so they can feel relaxed, happy, and right at home.
“Elliot and Jo were wonderful caregivers for Charlie while we were visiting Boston. Charlie came home relaxed and happy. Elliot took great pictures of Charlie on their outings. I would recommend Elliot and will use him again when we are in the Boston area.”
“Nick was awesome! He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly. He took great care of our pup and she had a great time. Hulk is super sweet and chill so it was definitely a bonus that they got to hang out all day! Will 100% book with Nick again in the future.”
“We left our 10 month old Leonberger with John for her very first night away from home and it was a great experience! We got so many photos, and it was clear that she was happy, comfortable, and having fun with the other dogs. She came home smelling and looking better than when we dropped her off! We highly recommend John for boarding!”
“Nola and Damian were amazing! They took us last minute for my two young high energy pups. Communication was prompt and professional. My boys came home happy and well cared for, and I would happily book with Nola & Damian again!”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”

You can tell she is an animal lover and deeply cares for pets! I would highly recommend Lani to take care of your precious babies.”
“Second time booking with Ayana for drop in cat sitting—she’s super detailed in her reports and I love all the photo and video updates. My cat is SUPER shy but he comes out from hiding when she’s here. Would recommend.”
“Adison was so thoughtful with her time and care for my cat. He has his quirks and unique preferences and she made sure to tend to all of them. Can’t recommend Adison enough!”
“Excellent sitter! Immensely helpful when I had to leave the country for a long time and wasn’t sure if my new cats would be able to handle being away from humans for very long. Great communication and took great care of the cats and the apartment. I’ll reach out again if I need sitting in the future!”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was anxious to see how it went, but Eryn was wonderful with my cat! She can be a bit moody and Eryn was patient with her and gave me plenty of updates and photos. I will definitely be booking with Eryn again!”

About: My partner (Henry) and I love to watch dogs together! We have been surrounded by dogs our whole lives, from small picky eaters to large dogs that can run for miles. Growing up around dogs, we know that they are all different and respond to new people differently, but we have had positive experiences in taking care of family’s, neighbors’, and friends’ dogs in the past and have a ton of energy to do so. We love spending time outside and with dogs and have dog-sat before, including experiences wherein we did not stay in the owners’ home, but visited frequently to walk and feed their dog, and we have dog sat in our own home, so we are comfortable with adapting our services to any of your needs. We both have hybrid work situations, so one of us is always working from home at any given time and are used to being flexible with a pet’s schedule. We take care of pets like they are our own, in the past when we have boarded dogs in our home we have adapted to what the pet is and is not allowed to do (ie sleeping in the bedroom or not etc.)

About: 🐾 About Me Hi there! 🙋♂️ Thank you for considering me. I’ve been on Rover for quite some time now, and I’ve truly loved every minute of meeting new furry friends and spending time with them. I’m a freelance web developer, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I grew up with a loving golden retriever and an Angora cat. With a mix of personal experience, professional reliability, and a genuine love for animals, I always treat every pet as my own, giving them attention, affection, and care tailored to their needs. I live by Piers Park in Jeffries Point, East Boston, and I’m always happy to connect with fellow pet parents nearby. 🏡 House Sitting Arrival: Since my new roommate has pet allergies, I now only offer house sitting in and around Boston. I’ve been doing this for quite some time and have looked after pets in over 50 homes, so you can rest easy knowing your home and pet are in experienced hands. I’m very comfortable navigating different home setups, appliances, and TVs, so there’s no need for a full tour. That said, I’m always happy to meet in person beforehand and get to know you and your furry friend. If you’re not home when I arrive, clients typically leave me access through a door code, keybox, or occasionally under the mat, whichever you prefer. --- During My Stay: Before your trip, I’ll ask about your pet’s routine, preferences, and any medications they may need. You can share this information however you prefer. Some pet parents send a short message, others leave a note or a printed document. As long as I have what I need to keep your pet happy and comfortable, I’m all set. Because I work remotely, your pet will have company most of the day and receive plenty of attention (and pets 🐶🐱). I’ll happily send updates and photos as often as you’d like, whether once a day, twice a day, or not at all if you’d rather fully disconnect while on vacation. I adjust to your comfort level. --- Departure: Most clients ask me to leave a few hours before they return. Before heading out, I make sure you’ll find your home just as you left it. - Bedding stripped and tidied - Dishes washed and put away - Everything cleaned up after use If requested, I can also water plants, collect mail and packages, and leave them neatly on your table. After leaving, I’ll send a quick message with photos (of the rooms I used) and a short summary of how the stay went, so you’re fully updated and reassured. 🐕 Final Note At the end of the day, my main goal is to keep your pet happy and minimize any separation anxiety they might feel during the first day. Over time, I’ve found that most of my repeat clients continue hiring me for one simple reason: their pets genuinely bond with me and feel comfortable in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. Thank you again for taking the time to read my profile, and I hope to care for your pet soon. Have a wonderful day! 🌿 When I stay in a client’s home, I follow their pet’s regular routine as closely as possible so everything feels familiar and comforting. I take time to understand their daily schedule, from feeding and walks to playtime and bedtime, and make sure their environment feels calm, safe, and full of positive attentionSince I work remotely, I’m around most of the day, which means your pet will have steady company, lots of affection, and a peaceful home atmosphere. I always treat your home with care and respect, keeping things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them. I love keeping pets happy, engaged, and mentally stimulated. That might mean a walk through nearby parks, gentle tug or fetch sessions, playtime with their favorite toys, or cozy cuddle breaks during my work hours. For cats, I make sure they have interactive playtime, brushing if they enjoy it, and plenty of affection or space depending on their personality. My goal is always to help your pet feel loved, secure, and relaxed until you return.
About: With several years of experience, I am excited to provide top-notch care for your furry companions. Happy to do daily walks, overnight stays, or playtime. I am currently working part time, so I am very available to care for your pets! Looking forward to having a companion on my walks as the weather gets nicer! I love going for walks and am comfortable working with dogs on leashes. Additionally, I am happy to stay in your home so your animal doesn't have to leave the environment they're familiar with!

About: Hi there! I’m so excited to meet you and your pets. Working in the pet health industry has given me extensive experience working with both cats and dogs, and I’ve learned just how important it is to combine professional knowledge with genuine love and compassion. I have hands-on experience administering a variety of medications for both dogs and cats, and I’ve also worked closely with pets that have seizures/epilepsy. I’m comfortable and confident working with animals of all ages, from playful kittens and puppies to older pets who may need more advanced or specialized care. Whether your pet needs long, high-energy walks, quiet cuddle time, or support with medical needs, I’m more than happy to go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own, showering them with the utmost love, respect, and attention. From administering care to simply providing companionship, I pride myself on being a true pet lover who understands that every animal has their own unique personality and needs. My goal is always to ensure your furry family member feels happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away❤️ My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be as accommodating as possible to each pet’s unique needs. I’m available for frequent potty breaks every 4–8 hours, and I have plenty of time for walks in the morning, midday, afternoon, and before bed. I’m committed to doing whatever it takes to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy! I’m dedicated to creating a safe, secure, and loving environment for your pet. I live in a pet-friendly space just steps away from large parks and safe walking areas, perfect for daily exercise and fresh air. Communication is very important to me, so you can expect plenty of updates and photos while your pet is in my care. I also value transparency and appreciate knowing about any unique needs, medications, or quirks so I can give your furry friend the best possible experience.

“Ashley was fantastic with our dog Gus! She sent lots of pictures and videos! She took him for the first time after a very last minute cancellation by another Rover provider!. We really appreciated it and would definitely recommend her!”
“Tyler was a rock star! We were up for our daughter running the Boston marathon. It was a long day and it was nice to not have to worry about Baxter. He also was able to have puppy playtime with two other guests. After a long day Tyler was there to meet us with our boy. He also sent a few pics during the day. This was our first experience with Rover and we will return.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog mom who is actively involved with a local rescue called Gals Best Pal. I have successfully fostered and homed over 13 dogs of all ages and sizes, and additionally volunteer with transports and events. For years, I have stepped in to help care for friends’ and family’s dogs when needed. Most recently, I spent the last year caring for my soul dog of six years who was diagnosed and unfortunately passed away from a rare chronic illness. Due to this experience, I am comfortable with dogs who need extra attention and daily medication since that’s the care I provided for her. Through caretaking and my fosters, I’ve become experienced with a wide range of personalities and needs. I also work from home 5 days a week, so your dog gets company and consistency all day, not just a quick visit! *Please note that there’s a friendly 8 month old GSD puppy in the house. If your pet prefers to be solo during their stay, my home can easily accommodate a no-contact visit. I’m no stranger to this, as my late dog preferred her independence too🙂 Feel free to reach out with any questions! I work from home full time, so most days your dog gets steady company, walks, and playtime built right into my routine. My only standing plans are a Monday night writing class and a Tuesday night pottery class. Both are just a couple hours each, so I’m happy to arrange coverage or crate time while I’m gone. My home currently includes my male partner and Maple, a German Shepherd puppy who’s very social. I’m happy to arrange supervised introductions if your dog wants company during their stay. And while Maple is a sweet girl, I also understand that not every dog wants a roommate 🙂 I can easily set up a no contact stay if your pup prefers time alone. Around the house, older and trained dogs get free range. Puppies who aren’t yet potty trained follow a crate routine and stay in a designated section of the house for their safety. I also have a separate office where all dogs get to hang out with me all day for extra company. The yard and patio out back aren’t fenced, so leashes or long leads come out for outdoor time. My late dog taught me just how much a pet’s environment matters to their comfort, so I take this seriously. I want every pet to feel genuinely welcome and secure in my home!
“I have nothing but good things to say about Joseph. His communication was great and he was an awesome sitter for Athena. I want to point out that I made an error in booking my dog's stay and Joseph gladly helped out and made accommodations. He definitely did not have to do that, but I was so thankful that he did! 5 stars! Would definitely recommend!”
“Elliot and Jo were wonderful caregivers for Charlie while we were visiting Boston. Charlie came home relaxed and happy. Elliot took great pictures of Charlie on their outings. I would recommend Elliot and will use him again when we are in the Boston area.”
“Nick was awesome! He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly. He took great care of our pup and she had a great time. Hulk is super sweet and chill so it was definitely a bonus that they got to hang out all day! Will 100% book with Nick again in the future.”
“We left our 10 month old Leonberger with John for her very first night away from home and it was a great experience! We got so many photos, and it was clear that she was happy, comfortable, and having fun with the other dogs. She came home smelling and looking better than when we dropped her off! We highly recommend John for boarding!”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”
“Our dog was in great hands with Kerrin! When he suffered a minor injury while we were away, she too excellent care of him and gave consistent updates and photos. Highly recommend!”
“What can I say? Nothing says more than watching my dogs’ reactions when they see Jess - pure excitement! They absolutely adore her and her family, and that tells me everything I need to know. Going away used to be so hard for me because I hated leaving my two BFFs behind. Now, as much as they are still my life, I can walk away feeling completely at ease knowing they’re happy, loved, and in the very best hands. There’s no worrying or feeling guilty - they’re too busy having their own little vacation with Jess and her family! Also, I can always tell when I pick them up that they’ve had a great time. They come home happy, relaxed, and completely themselves — which, to me, says it all! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Jess and her loving family to care for our fur babies. Nothing is better than going on vacation, guilt-free, knowing your little buddies are away having fun, too! While away, peace of mind means everything to me, which is one of the many reasons why I so highly recommend Jess.”
“Nancy and her husband took great care of Baloo for the weekend. I received frequent picture updates and was able to enjoy my time away knowing he was in good hands.”
“Brittany was amazing looking after Charlie for a night. She was in constant communication and gave us updates on how she was doing. Also added a lot of pictures for us to enjoy and see how she was 10/10 would have her dog sit again.”
“Heidi was amazing! Very attentive and loves every dog she takes care of. We got so many great videos and pictures while we were away and our dog was so happy to be there! Would definitely leave our dog with Heidi again!”
“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Emily & Daniel watched my pup for an extended time and were absolutely phenomenal. Great communication and care, and it’s obvious Ace has fun and is happy :)”
“Zoe was great taking care of Rosie. She communicated well and it was clear that Rosie really enjoyed her stay and even got to see Zoe’s office :) I will definitely book Zoe again! Thank you!”
