“Our dog Anfi is a shy and very anxious girl. We’re usually unable to leave the house without her due to her separation anxiety, but thanks to Linda that’s no longer the case! Linda has been so amazing. She has treated Anfi with much love and care, and we are so appreciative of that! We look forward to many more day care and boarding stays with Linda!”
“Our pup was happy in every picture & very excited but quickly calm when she got home, which to me says that she was happy to be home, but didn’t feel nervous at Aurora’s home! Aurora also was diligent to make sure our counter surfing, sneaky dog didn’t get human food during her stay. We will definitely book with Aurora again!”
“Elliot and his wife took great care of my dog during the first week-long trip I've taken without him. They were thoughtful and thorough during a meet-and-greet before the stay, provided photos and details all throughout the trip, and made sure he got back safely at the end of the week. I'll definitely be looking to book with them again for any future trips — thanks you two!”

“We left our 10 month old Leonberger with John for her very first night away from home and it was a great experience!

We highly recommend John for boarding!”

“John took great care of my high energy pup! His communication was excellent throughout the process and he too my dog on long walks. Looking forward to booking with John again soon!”

She clearly receives an abundance of care, love and attention, as her sweet, expressive & energetic personality is in full effect, which only comes out when she is completely comfortable with people. I feel very lucky to have found them, and they are first on my list! Thank you, Michelle & Mike! :)”

“"It's as if she never left!" - Our dog Bella has stayed with Rob several times, and was delighted to be back. Rob and his family take great care of her (walks, feeding, treats, loving) and make her feel a part of both the people and dog families!”

“Nathan is awesome and a pet sitter that goes above and beyond! He took great care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat. He was super attentive, sent really great photos and notes each visit, took inside a package we weren't expecting, and even did some extra laundry for us after one of our elderly dogs had an accident. We really felt so comfortable knowing someone was taking such high quality care of our animals while also having an eye on house. Highly recommend!”

She sent great updates on how they were doing and took professional level photos of them for us!! Highly recommend Katy as a caring, trustworthy”

She provided frequent updates and pictures/videos of my fur baby. I felt at peace leaving my fur baby with Bryn and she helped me to relax on my vacation. She is a gem!”
“Rachel was an incredible cat sitter to our family’s two cats Koda and Lucia. I appreciated how attentive she was before the reservation, ensuring that all of their needs would be met and went above to ensure they were cared for. Our Lucia normally needs a few introductions before she is comfortable with someone. So, we were surprised to see that she greeted Rachel on the first day. We will definitely be rebooking the next time we need some time off and piece of mind. It was very reassuring knowing that our little loved ones were well taken care of. Thank you so much for being an amazing cat sitter!!”

“Emma was great to work with and cared for our cat as if she was her own while we were away for a few days. She was super flexible when we asked to change one of the drop-in times, so it was nice to know that my cat was able to stick to a good meal schedule. Will gladly have Emma cat-sit for us again!”

“Lisa G. Is the best cat sitter I know! She cares for my girl Linda like she's her own. She is never not there when I need her and she takes care of any accidents like it's part of the territory! I honestly don't know what we would do without her now! Thank you Lisa !!! Linda and I think you are just amazing as a cat 😺 sitter!”
“Cat did a wonderful job taking care of our shy kitty! She was patient, gentle, and clearly experienced with cats who need a little extra time to warm up. Cat also made sure medications were given on schedule and kept us in the loop with clear, thoughtful updates and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!”

About: For nearly every year of my childhood, I interacted with and cared for a dog in my household. Throughout college and the early stages of my teaching career, I took care of my family's dogs periodically. Additionally, my wife and I fostered a dog through the SPCA for two months in 2021. I have worked for Rover before and I have had wonderful experiences! I moved to Somerville in September of 2021 and then I moved to Malden in August of 2025. I'm a teacher and soccer coach, working full time between the end of August and the end of June, but I would like to help folks out with their doggos between school years! Ideally, I would prefer to walk and play with my clients' dogs on weekdays, any time between 9 am and 9 pm, however, I can be flexible regarding earlier in the mornings and later in the evenings. I can only do drop-in visits, walks, and doggy daycare. I'm quite knowledgeable and easy-going around animals, learning their preferences and routines quickly. You can trust me in your home and with your pets, because I am cautious, perceptive, and caring. In the grand scheme of things, I love giving dogs a lot of attention and affection and they will surely enjoy my company!

“Angella was amazing with our lab puppy, Phoebe! She proactively sent us pictures throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind knowing how much fun she was having and she even gave Phoebe a few toys in a "goodie bag" to take home. We will definitely be using Angella again when we need a doggie day care!”
“Elizabeth and her kids took amazing care of Bean! Elizabeth was incredibly accommodating in setting up a space for Bean in her home and truly went above and beyond. She also sent various updates and photos throughout Bean's stay with her. Would definitely recommend!”
“Cheuck was so great with my dog Annie! I left my dog with Cheuck during the day while I was at work. He shared pictures and kept me updated regularly! I highly recommend Cheuck.”
“Rose was attentive and caring, and made sure Lola had plenty of exercise and fun. My little came home happy and healthy, and the pictures from the day let me know she was having a good time. Messaging back and forth was quick and easy. I would request Rose again.”
“This was the first time I used Rover to find a sitter for Misu and Julia made the process very smooth. Misu was well taken care of and Julia communicated well. Highly recommended!”

“My dog nala had the best time with Maritza and her babies! She was so lovely and kept us updated the whole time. I would definitely recommend her 🥰 it’s so nice to finally find someone near by that I trust leaving my dog with! Thank you so much Maritza! Cant wait to have nala there again”
“My dog always wags his tail almost jumping out the car from excitement to see Jessica. He starts to whine if I’m parked too long outside of her place and then jumps and is super happy when he gets to see her. I can tell he’s so happy when she watches him. She is great and super active and attentive with animals. Whenever my puppy comes home from daycare with her, he sleeps 12+ hours from how tired he is. Better than most daycares I’ve been to !!!”
“Bean had a wonderful stay with Steven, Helen and Milo! They have a great set up with fenced in front and back yards. Bean felt immediately at home when we dropped her off and Milo was wonderful with her puppy energy. We would highly recommend them!”
“A truly 5 star experience. Cameron was easy to communicate with and work with. Just off vibe alone I knew my dog was in good hands when he was picked up. Throughout the day I was consistently updated with photos and videos of my dog out and about. I highly highly recommend Cameron to anyone in need of a dog-sitter. Next time I’m in Boston I will 100% be reaching out to him first. Finn will miss Cameron and Rosie a ton!!! 5 stars!!”
“Alexa was great. We had a family emergency and she was available last minute. Milou came home happy and tired and we got the cutest pictures with updates! It was our first rover experience and worked perfectly.”
“This was my first time using Rover. Tiffany and Steve were SO GOOD and patient at explaining things and offering tips and enrichment suggestions. Their insights were really helpful — especially as I’m only two months into having my rescue. It’s clear they’re very knowledgeable about animal behavior and really care about your pet and your relationship with your pet. For context, after a meet and great, my dog Feta did one day of daycare to make sure the situation works for boarding. This should make any other pet owner feel good knowing that Tiffany and Steve assess the dogs in their care to make sure the situation is good for all. Highly recommend!!!”

“Jamie clearly takes his responsibilities seriously and takes the utmost care of our dog. As first time dog owners, we were nervous to leave our pup in someone else’s care, and how our pup would react to someone else being in the home. Those nerves quickly vanished, and we as well as our puppy enjoy having Jamie come over to walk him and care for him. He is very professional and very caring toward our dog, which is all we could ask for!”
“Danny has been absolutely wonderful with West. From the very beginning, it was clear how knowledgeable and experienced he is with dogs. He takes the time to understand West's personality, needs, and energy level, and it shows in every interaction. Danny is reliable, professional, and genuinely loves what he does. He has also shared helpful insights and advice that have been incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring dog walker.”

About: Veterinary technician working in a vet clinic, almost 4 years in the field. Lifelong animal lover and caregiver. Looking for part time gigs that include more fluffy friends! I’m currently working 3 days a week at the vet clinic (shifts change week to week). Looking to fill up my other days with pet care to keep me active and surrounded by fluffy creatures. I update my availability calendar as my clinic schedule comes out. I live in a two family house (family owned). We have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run around and go potty if they’d like to. I have one cat, who gets along well with dogs (honestly, he just ignores them). If necessary to keep your dog more comfortable, they can be kept separated.
“My boy was well taken care of by Heather while my partner and I were gone for a weekend. She made sure he drank water, was fed, walked, and given some cuddle time twice a day. Highly recommended. 🫂”
About: I grew up taking care of our cats & dogs & gerbils. I have been dog walking and pet sitting in Maine for the last few years. I’ve seen cats, dogs (pugs up to mastiffs and everything between), rabbits, bearded dragons, and watched over a couple small farms. There isn’t an animal i would turn away. Do you have a nosy hound that needs to sniff around? A cat that needs some care while you are out of town? Small animals that need treats and food? Im your lady. I try to get a few walks in every day. I would love for that to be with your furry friends whether you need help in the morning (I’ll have coffee for me treats and treats for the pups) or lunch or evening.g I will make best friends with any animal that has to spend some time away from its family. Doesn't matter if it is an afternoon walk or weekend away I can guarantee your furry friend and I will have happy adventures or snuggling depending on their mood. Maybe even both! We will go on walks, hikes and the occasional swim depending on the weather. Perhaps we will play a little tug of war and ball if that’s what they are into.
About: I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life. I have the most experience with dogs, especially medium to large breeds, and have also cared for bunnies. I’m calm, patient, and energetic, and happy to help reinforce good behavior during your pet’s stay. I work a remote position and largely determine my own schedule. This allows me to fit in pet care all throughout times of the day during the week. Your pet stays in their own familiar environment, which helps keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk, I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every home with respect. You’ll always know your pet is in good hands.
About: I grew up with two silky terriers and have done a lot of overnight dog-watching for friends and family. I've walked leash-reactive dogs before as well, so I'm keen on making sure dogs with special needs are met! The "years of experience" I have listed are for professionally looking after other people's pets since I've otherwise been with dogs most of my life. I work from home 2 days per week, so while I’m busy most of the day, I can take periodic breaks to take your dog out for walks or pee breaks. My house is dog-proof with a small enclosed patio instead of a back yard. After walks we usually just play a bit and I do low key activities like TV to keep an easy eye on the dog.
About: Right now I have two bunnies at home but my family and friends always have dogs and cats around so I have a lot of experience taking care of both(also bunnies ofc), especially with elder dogs. I'm a very patient and observant person and animals usually LOVE me! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can do drop-in visits anytime during the days, I would prefer dog walking in the afternoon more than the morning but that is totally negotiable! My jobs have been very communication/client based so I intend to bring that same level of care and reliability when looking after pets — making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I will ask you about their personalities and preferences before I meet them. I will start slow to earn their trust. Depending on whether they are energetic or shy, I can adapt to be playful or gentle with them too. During walks, I will prepare waste bags and treats if needed. I will also help clean their paws after a rainy/muddy walk. If your pets have specific toys you want me to play with them, I will make sure they have fun too!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and puppies thanks to my dad, a responsible dog breeder. Caring for dogs was a big part of my life from an early age, and I gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities. I grew to love cats as well when my best friend adopted two cats and we all lived together for several years. Since then, I've had the pleasure of pet sitting for puppies, dogs, and cats for friends, family, and clients. I'm dependable, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away. As an animal lover who's new to the Boston area and currently unable to have pets in my apartment, pet sitting is a wonderful way for me to spend time with animals while helping pet owners travel or work with peace of mind. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day. When petsitting at your home, I can be there all day if you have wifi and a place for me to use my laptop, or I can pop in during the day and stay overnight. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, going on regular walks, playing, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes are secure, and I closely supervise pets during walks and outdoor time. I also understand the importance of following any instructions you provide regarding your pet's care, behavior, or medical needs. When staying in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost respect. I'm tidy, responsible, and communicative, and I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
“Kayla has been AMAZING!! My dog loved her from the moment she met her (that’s not usually the case, my dog is usually very wary of strangers until she has a little bit to warm up) I feel so comfortable knowing my sweet bubs is in good hands every day!!”
