“Steven was great with our dog. We boarded her with him for a long weekend She is a nervous girl and often barks at new people. When I dropped her off he took her leash and her treats and immediately got her to sit and calm down. During her stay with Steven he sent us photos, which I appreciate.

She knew exactly how to handle Elly as she got adjusted to the apartment and when she showed some exhibits of resource guarding.

About: Your pets will be in loving, reliable hands with me. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, giving them so much attention and comfort that they won’t even notice you’re away🥰 I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether your pet requires extra cuddles, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy. When your pet stays in my home, they become part of my family from the moment they walk through the door. I provide a clean, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax, explore, and feel completely comfortable. I have 1 cat. Her name is Emerald she is 2 years old and she is absolutely spoiled. She has her own wall climbing catch tree that she loves and tons of toys.
“Mariella was fantastic with Moxie! She watched her for a full day, keeping us updated throughout the day with messages and photos. It was clear Moxie was cozy on a cold wet day, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. We felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. We’d absolutely book with Mariella again!”
“Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.”
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.

“Anh is absolutely amazing!! Our dogs have a lot of anxiety issues and codependency, so we were nervous about their first time staying with a sitter- but they loved going to Anh’s! She did an amazing job with them, sent adorable pics of them cuddling up with her and going for long walks, and it helped put our minds at ease to know they were so well cared for and comfortable with her! Anh is so sweet and her passion is evident. We will definitely be reaching out next time we’re in the area!”

“If you have an anxious dog who struggles in meeting new people Luis is the best sitter/walker. Luis is extremely empathetic, patient and very accommodating. He goes at your dog's pace!

About: I have a deep love and respect for non-human animals. Growing up with multiple indoor and outdoor cats and a family dog (a feisty miniature poodle!), I have developed a strong knowledge base of pet behavior. In my work as a pet caretaker, I look for and respond to behavioral cues and needs, allow space for pets to come to me and feel safe with me, adapt to pets' energy levels, encourage play, and bring a compassionate, patient, and responsible nature. I have most flexibility to take care of your pet on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Afternoons work well for me. Mornings depend on my schedule and pet parents' schedule. First, I greet the pet and check in on their overall wellbeing. If I am pet-sitting, I will take a quick look about their living environment to make sure that it is clean and safe. If I notice an accident or that the pet has gotten into something, I alert the pet parent. I take care of any in-home needs, and then I spend time connecting with the pet through play, attention, and treats (if allowed!). If I am dog-walking, I make sure to bring the pet's gear (leash, harness, poop bags, water, treats) and prepare a planned route.
“Morgan and Meaghan were great! They were very easy to work with. On top of that, they were very flexible with our last minute request. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good dog sitter.”
“AMAZING. If you need someone reliable and that goes beyond this is your sitter. She picked up my request last minute. Ann-Marie provide detailed reviews. She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.”
About: I absolutely love dogs, and while mine are at home back in California I would love to spend some time taking care of dogs in Boston. I've had dogs for my entire life and have gotten to experience every aspect of caring for them. I have also helped with the process of guide dog puppy training (basic behavior and becoming comfortable with different environments). Currently dog walking & drop in visits work best for my schedule, but I am also open to chatting about shorter dog sitting jobs to see if it could be a good fit! I'm currently a part time student at Northeastern University, with a flexible schedule outside of my classes! Dog walking and drop-in visits often work best for my schedule, but 1-2 night dog sitting jobs also occasionally work for me! Happy to chat through any possibilities if you reach out! Petsitting location dependent on dog behavior, size, and schedule! I currently live in an apartment with 5 roommates so need to get approval from all house members before accepting. Happy to also care for your pet at their home. Typically my availability works best for single-night petsitting as opposed to longer stays, but happy to chat to figure out if it's a good fit!
About: Hello, my name is Stacy and I’m 34 years old. I joined Rover because I love spending time with pets but I’m not in a position to have my own. Since having joined Rover, I’ve worked with reactive dogs, puppies a couple of weeks old, intact dogs and dogs having undergone surgery. I’ve also either pet sat or lived with Labrador Retrievers, Pugs, Poodles, Chihuahuas, Old English Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, Schnauzers, Irish Wolfhounds, Pitbulls, German Shepherds, Great Danes and others. This is aside from the cats, reptiles and tarantulas I’ve either sat for or interacted with during a long term period. As of April 2026, my longest stay (over two weeks) has been for a dog with cancer. It’s been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I’m available to sit, do drop-ins and walks every day of the week. I’m a small business owner in a separate industry and grateful for the flexibility. I generally require a 3 day notice for house sitting, walks and drop-ins. There are days in which I can make myself available the same day ONLY for walks and drop-ins. You will know if I am available for same day walks and drop-ins if I have appeared in your search results. You are welcome to submit a request for same day service then. I do not do walks and drop-ins for others during a stay if a client has indicated they are uncomfortable with this or if it conflicts with another pets walking/feeding time. I do not bring guests of any kind to client’s homes. It is fine if clients have service workers such as house cleaners entering the home, as long as I am made aware of the time of their arrival. I generally do not wear shoes in a client’s home and I always clean up after myself if staying for several hours or more. I may bring house slippers to wear inside based on the circumstances. I am slightly anemic so I ask that you keep your place at a reasonable temperature. You may also provide a few blankets.
“Megan was amazing - our first dog walker experience could not have been better!! Megan and Buttons hit it off immediately during their pre-walk meet and greet. She gave detailed walk updates and took great pictures of Buttons. By the 2nd walk we had pretty serious FOMO - she took Buttons to a nearby conservation, checked out a local baseball game and met our neighbors. A couple of walks were even over 30 minutes and they cover a lot of ground together. Thank you Megan!!”

“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.

I feel good knowing that she takes such good care of my babies while I’m away at work.”
