“Angela, Paul, and Ana took amazing care of Beau!

They went above and beyond, and we know Beau will definitely want to go back with them again!”

“Jing was highly responsive and took great care of Baks. Communication was thoughtful and prompt. She sent tons of pictures and updates which put my mind to ease. I was able to pick Baks up early with no issue and was very happy to see him early. Baks stayed with Jing for 4 nights while I was out of town.”
“It was a pleasure working with Zwany and Leandro. They were very considerate and professional. They asked all the right questions before watching Jane. Jane enjoyed her stay. She took to them and their dog straight away. Jane is a bit standoffish sometimes. We got regular updates and pictures. Very nice people. I would feel very comfortable having them watch Jane in the future.”
“Tyler is a terrific person to leave your dog with. He communicates during the stay, is east to get in touch with, and of course has a very positive relationship with your dog. He enjoys them. I would leave my dog with him and feel very secure he would be in a friendly, safe place.”
“Kristen and Timothy were great with Poppy. From all the pictures they sent, you can see she was having so much fun! Will definitely use them again!”
“Kerrin and Chris were amazing with our dog Lizzie—she had an absolute blast staying with them. They sent daily pictures, which gave us total peace of mind, and it was clear she was being cared for like part of their own family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Phoebe had a great time staying with Ashley for the second time! She looked like she had a great time in all of the picture and video updates that Ashley sent! I’m sure Phoebe can’t wait until she can stay with Ashley and her pups again!”
“Jess was great! She was very communicative and sent great pictures of our pup while we were away from her. Pick up and drop off were very easy and Jess was flexible with our timing. We already booked our next boarding for our pup!”
“Just simply phenomenal!! Our flights were delayed several times and even canceled, at one time, but they were both so understanding and sent pictures of Bentley and Bentley was so relaxed. I wanna keep them permanently!”
“Zachary watched my dog Fred at short notice for Labor Day weekend. Very timely communication, Fred was immediately comfortable with Zachary during our meet and greet and in the photos, he had a lot of fun meeting new doggie friends. Came home happy but exhausted from a 3 day stay.”
“Nick took care of Jessie for six days and did an excellent job! We had peace of mind during our trip overseas and received a wonderful photo update about Jessies stay with her furry friends. When we leave Jessie with Nick we know that she is well taken care of. Nick always provides excellent care for our senior dog and is attentive to her needs. He comes highly recommended.”
“Tianyue was awesome every step of the way. This was our first time using Rover and we have never left Bailey with anybody before, so we were apprehensive. Tianyue was very sweet and sent lots of videos. We would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you Tianyue for everything!”
“John was excellent! He watched my 1 year old American Bulldog for 5 nights, I was very nervous dropping him off becauae it was my first time boarding my baby. John eased my mind and sent me pictures of my boy having a blast. Rocco came home happy & healthy and we will defiantly be usung John again!”
“Helen is a fabulous person who took amazing care of our pup Maverick!! I loved the daily updates of our dog with hers and could tell she just loves animals. I will definitely book with her the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Murray has a blast at Heidi’s house and is always tired when he comes home. He has stayed with her for multiple days a couple of times already (and will again). I love the goofy videos and updates she sends, and every time I pick up Murray, Heidi is always outside with the pups. I’m always glad when Heidi is available to watch Murray!!”
“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!”
“Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.”

About: I am a very proud cat mom myself. My orange tabby(Prince Harry) is 5 years old and the light of my life. Harry has been with me since he was 8 weeks old so I have experience in all cat stages. I know how crucial it is to have someone who will treat your babies as their own. Before getting Harry I also had cat sat for many family members, friends, neighbors, and associates.
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.)
“Stephanie was great! She really loves cats and took very good care of mine. One of my cats is scared of strangers but she made him feel comfortable. We had good communication and she sent me many photos and daily updates. I will definitely leave the cats with her again. If you are looking for someone to take care of your cats, she is the right person.”

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.
“Jaime and family were kind and communicative. This was my first time having her sit for Suzi Q and she made me feel that she was safe in her family's hands. It was also a plus that my dog got along with hers and Suziwas able to get out her energy in their fenced in yard.”

About: I have had pets in my house for as long as I can remember. Cats, dogs, a bunny, hamsters, geckos, fish, and guinea pigs. I even fostered multiple cats/kittens at a time. I love all the little quirks every dog has and no specific needs are off limits. I also have experience administering meds to dogs and cats. I want the animals to feel love and comfort while with me! I treat animals like family :) I am currently looking for a part time job (hopefully rover!), so my schedule might change. But as of now I am free 7 days a week and any time. I have no pets in my place currently. But I can give your dog walks/potty breaks at any time of the day. The pets are allowed on the couch and in bed if they wanted but if you prefer to bring their crate that’s ok too!

It’s so nice to have someone nearby to trust our Chief with. Thank you Rhiannon.. We will be back!”
“Jhona was a great host - kind, responsive and patient with noodle, my 2-year old Maltese. Noodle is anxious, and takes time to open up and adjust but Jhona was able to handle him without any issues.

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: I love dogs, and I enjoy everything about them. I wish to provide fun and adequate time with your furry friend by doing things like playing, running, and comforting all while providing them with the services they need like potty breaks, feeding times, and love! Every Dog has such a unique personality that should be celebrated and loved for. I'll gladly run or walk with your pup, or pay them visits while you're away. I'm currently a college senior so my schedule is very flexible. I will make sure your dog gets the full undivided care and attention it needs. I love taking walks around my neighborhood and in local parks. I like to ask the owner where they walk their dog, as it can be quite different depending on where the dog resides.
About: I love all kinds of dogs—big dog person here. I’ve taken care of pups around my neighborhood for years, walking them, feeding them, and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and getting plenty of attention. Whether it’s playtime or just hanging out, I’m all about keeping dogs comfortable and cared for while their people are away. It fits in around my class schedule for school, usually early morning or late afternoon are the times that work best for me to care for pets. I have a very good sense of what an pet needs, and listen to the instructions the owner has left in order to care for them well.
About: Hello, my name is Sean and I recently moved home from Florida to Boston after graduating from USF in Tampa. I’m currently in a grad program at Emerson. I have my own furry friend in a black and tan coonhound-beagle mix named Rio but I love animals of all kind! My classes are later in the evening so my schedule is very open. Just send me a message! I have a very flexible schedule and can easily acommodate! :) I would be happy to play and take care of your pets anytime! I love going on walks and to dog parks or just playing tug-of-war at home!
About: Hello! I am a recent Wellesley College graduate but I come from a big family in Austin, Texas. I've looked after dogs, cats, plants, and plenty of farm animals. I adore animals and have two dogs of my own back home. I have great communication and I am willing to send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. I read and respond to signals that animals give attentively so your pets will be in great hands! I am looking forward to caring for your homes and pets. I am currently looking for jobs before starting grad school in the fall. I babysit occasionally, but I am often not away for more than 3-5 hours. My home is currently being renovated so I will not be hosting any pets there at the moment. I am happy to consider in home pet care after renovations are finished.

“It was a pleasure working with Zwany and Leandro. They were very considerate and professional. They asked all the right questions before watching Jane. Jane enjoyed her stay. She took to them and their dog straight away. Jane is a bit standoffish sometimes. We got regular updates and pictures. Very nice people. I would feel very comfortable having them watch Jane in the future.”

John eased my mind and sent me pictures of my boy having a blast. Rocco came home happy & healthy and we will defiantly be usung John again!”

I will definitely be using her services again!”
