“Alec and Damien were fantastic with my dog, Winston. They were very responsive and kept me updated with photos, which made me feel at ease. Winston looked completely comfortable and happy in their care—they truly treated him like their own. When I picked him up, he didn’t even want to leave, which says everything. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“So happy with the service Duncan (our golden doodle got)! Jess kept us updated daily with pictures and texts. He seemed to go on lots of walks and had lots of company with other canine friends as well as their adorable girls! Will definitely be using Jess again!”
“The dogs RAN up and into Casey's place wagging when drop off, and came out happy, even more spoiled, shinier and somehow smelling nicer?! when picked up. 😆 This is our 52774th time boarding with Casey and we cannot thank her and recommend her to others enough. Casey is extremely thoughtful and attentive to details, and even has now built with our dogs their own routine that put the dogs at ease and peace. Thank you thank you thank you.”
“We had an absolutely amazing experience with our dog sitter and couldn’t recommend them more highly. This was our first time being away from Howie, and naturally we were a little nervous—but they made the entire experience so reassuring from start to finish. While we were away, our return flight ended up getting canceled multiple times, leaving us stranded for an additional three days. What could have been an incredibly stressful situation was made so much easier because they immediately stepped in without hesitation and continued caring for Howie like he was their own. They consistently reassured us that he was safe, happy, and well cared for until we could finally make it home. On top of that, we received dozens of pictures and videos throughout our trip, which truly meant so much—especially as first-time dog parents leaving him behind. Seeing Howie relaxed, playing, and clearly loved gave us total peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone you can trust so completely with your dog, but we absolutely did here. We are beyond grateful and will 100% be using them again.”
“Joseph took great care of my little Frenchie back in January. I had to change my plans quickly due to my pup going into heat super early and a few days before our trip. It was stressful to try and find someone quick that I could trust with my literal child but Joseph made it SO much easier even accommodating pick up and drop off. He sent me lot of picture updates and kept me well informed when she was having tummy issues (due to her heat). I tend to worry about my pup a lot due to her breed and the strict routine I have to make sure she is healthy (if you have a Frenchie you know lol).”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Dana and Nia are truly exceptional pet sitters — caring, understanding, and the kind of people who instantly put you at ease about leaving your furry family member in their hands. Our dog Kippy can be quite a handful. He has a nervous temperament and takes time to warm up to new people, but Dana and Nia were incredibly patient. They took the time to really get to know him, and it showed — Kippy was visibly comfortable and at ease with them, which honestly says everything. On top of that, they were wonderfully flexible and gracious when we ran late, never making us feel rushed or guilty. That kind of warmth and understanding goes a long way. If you’re looking for pet sitters who will treat your little loved ones like their own, look no further. We couldn’t recommend Dana and Nia more highly!”
“Alyson was amaze balls. I got daily updates she alerted me to anything she deemed out of the ordinary with Tuna. He loves Alyson and her Daughter! Would recommend wholeheartedly”
“Our dog had a great time with Dan and his dog Annie. We were able to drop her off pretty last minute too so I couldn’t recommend Dan enough if you need a dog sitter!”
“Alan and Ying took wonderful care of Ripley during his four-night stay. They were very thoughtful in their approach to make him feel comfortable and at home. Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.”
“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!”
“Nalix communicated well and sent daily pictures and videos while watching my pup. He seemed to enjoy himself and he was able to make a couple of new friends.”
“Julie was amazing! She sent us pictures of Pepés adventures and told us about all the fun things they did. It was like a luxury vacation for pepé, he loved it. We will be return customers!”
“Isabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.”
“Steven was phenomenal. He sent us daily updates and photos, and it was clear Carly felt completely at home. She came back happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Truly an exceptional experience.”
“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.”
“We love the Jasons and Noah. Millie enjoys being at their home so much her ears perk up every time we say Noah’s name. Jason sends picture and definitely gives our anxious pup the love she needs. Highly recommend!!”
“This was our second time with Ashley, and my dog Charlee was so excited to see her when I dropped her off! She takes great care of her and we will definitely use her in the future.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Katherine! She took great care of Bobby and Ginny for a couple of weeks, followed our care guide carefully, and sent thoughtful daily text and picture updates. She was always communicative and responsive, even with our 7-hour time difference. We came home to two happy, healthy cats and an apartment that was much cleaner than we expected!

About: Hi! I’m a warm, caring, professional dog walker looking to add some walks and boarding to my schedule. I absolutely love dogs, and will treat yours as if it were my own with all the love, care and attention they deserve! I am comfortable with puppies, seniors, and even have experience with more reactive pups. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I am a professional dog walker with a local company two days a week, but am looking to add more walks and visits to my schedule. When I’m not dog walking, I’m working on building a sustainable swimwear brand from home, so I have lots of flexibility to work around your schedule. I don’t have any pets of my own, so yours will be the center of attention! I live on the second floor of a two family condo building. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but I live right off the Neponset River Trail and there are lots of great walking route and trails in my neighborhood. If your pet is used to sleeping in your room with you at night, I am happy to have them in my room, and can accommodate crated or uncreated dogs. In general I try to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience. I was away from my cat for four days and was quite worried at first, but I soon felt relieved knowing she was in such good hands. He took great care of her, kept me updated, and made me feel comfortable while I was away. My cat warmed up to him very quickly and clearly enjoyed spending time with him, which meant a lot to me. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave her, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Morgan & Meaghan are AMAZING!! They took care of our two bengals while we were in Europe and they are wonderful!! They kept the apartment nice and tidy for the cats and went the extra mile. Thank you!!”
“Val was super nice and communicative! We loved reading the updates and seeing all the pictures. It’s always hard leaving the cats, but she made us feel like they were safe and cared for.”
“Jennifer took great care of our cats, who were in a complicated situation where they couldn't be allowed to see each other while we were away. Jennifer handled everything like a pro and we are so grateful. Thank you so much!”

“I was so grateful to have had Tibisay watch my cats while I was out of the country for 2 weeks. From the sweet pictures and videos she shared to the way I found my cats when I arrived home, it is clear my cats were well cared for and loved while I was away. Thank you and I would recommend Tibi to other pet owners.”
“We had just moved to Boston and needed a needed a dog-sitter on short notice for our Great Dane pup, Gordon, and David crushed it! He is super-patient and confident with our big boy and expertly communicative. David will always be our “go to!””
“Robin, thank you so much for giving me peace of mind. It’s always hard to leave my home and my pets behind when I travel, but it’s easier when I have full confidence that you’ve got things well at hand. Even my bossy indoor outdoor cat!

“Jess is absolutely great . She was able to accommodate to our last-minute request for daycare for our dog Bruno and was very understanding of our dog’s needs. She kept sending pictures and updates which gave us piece of mind during these times when our dog needs to be monitored. We’re looking forward for Bruno’s next boarding stay with Jess.”
“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine commitment to the well-being of every pet and my ability to adapt to their individual needs, treating them as if they were part of my own family. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs and cats. With puppies, I help reinforce basic training routines such as potty training, leash walking, and early obedience, always using patience and positive reinforcement. With senior pets, I am especially attentive to their pace, mobility, diet, and medication if needed, providing them with calm, consistent, and gentle care. In addition, I am very observant of animal behavior, which allows me to quickly notice any changes in their mood or health. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and accompanied at all times, while maintaining clear and consistent communication with their owners. More than just pet care, I offer trust, affection, and responsibility. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets during the day. I can easily adapt to each pet’s needs, whether it’s visits, walks, or in-home care. I am mainly available on weekdays and can also plan for weekends with advance notice. When caring for pets in my home or in the owner’s home, I make sure to carefully follow all instructions. I maintain their feeding, walking, and rest routines, and provide attention, affection, and a calm environment. I am very mindful of their safety, cleanliness, and well-being, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times.
About: Hi, my name is Richard. I grew up taking care of my family’s pets, I love all types of animals but cats and dogs hold a special place in my heart and being around animals has always been second nature to me. I took a break from Rover this past year while I moved and focused on work, but I’m fully back now with an open to give your pets my full attention. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I believe each animal deserves their own personal care and routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. With me, your pet will always feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible career working from home. This means I’m always around to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left waiting for care. I build my schedule around making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I will care for your pet like it is my own. Whether it is in my home or yours I will ensure that they are comfortable, well loved, fed and played with.
“Robert took our pup in for the day with a last-minute booking and she had a great time! We picked her up happy and healthy, and Robert sent updates and pics throughout the day. Would return in the future!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner myself, and for the past two years, I’ve had the joy of caring for other people’s dogs. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else, so I want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be cared for, loved, and treated like part of my family while they’re with me. I work from home full-time as a mental health therapist, so I’m able to be around throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have someone nearby to keep them company. I also understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and playtime, while others are happiest snuggling up or simply having someone close by. I take the time to get to know each dog, learn their routines, and help them feel comfortable and at home. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you’re away, like they’re staying with family. Because I work from home full-time, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I am able to give frequent attention, companionship, walks, and care throughout the day. I also have a backyard for your dog to run around and get some play time in. Safety and comfort are very important to me. I love creating a calm, loving, and structured environment where each dog can feel at home. I carefully follow each pet parent's instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty routines, walks, sleeping arrangements, and any other individual needs.
“Danielle is fantastic! She was incredibly responsive while taking care of my pup, Charlie. Charlie seemed as excited and happy when I picked him up as when I dropped him off. Thank you for all your help, Danielle!”
About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.
“Ange was so wonderful with Zazu! Super punctual and communicative. Zazu was so excited to see Ange day two of being minded as she clearly treated him so well. Couldn't recommend Ange more highly and I will definitely request Ange's skills and talents again.”
About: I enjoy meeting new animals and have 10+ years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Spending time with neighborhood pups has been a real joy, and I've looked after dogs of all sizes, from tiny breeds to gentle giants. My goal is always to build a caring, trusting relationship with both the animals and their humans. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family soon! I have a hybrid desk job. For overnight care, I am best matched with pets who can be left alone during my "in-office" day, usually once a week. Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. That said, every pup is unique, so I’ll rely on you to share what works best for their routine, needs, and personality.
About: I would be great person to take care/watch your dog because I don’t treat pets like any regular animal they are like kids they need to be loved and taken care of just like any other human being. My whole life growing up I have been around nothing but dogs mainly and I always grow a different bond with every single one of them as if they were my own,I’m different from other sitters because to me it’s not just about money but I would love to have all the new experiences I can get with many different dogs all shapes and sizes, I can learn a lot of new things and even help train your dog with things they haven’t even learned yet. I’m currently a stay at home mom finishing up with school so I will have plenty of free time to still love and care for your pet. I have a small yard but also closed in parks that your dog can run around and still be free in. Also while inside I treat all dogs like my own so they would have the same routines just like they were right at home no one likes new changes so fast.

I love pets and I can’t wait to be a sitter to yours ! I’m currently a full time college student , so I have unlimited availability. I can do sitting on the weekends until 4pm , My schedule will show my open availability I have a balcony , indoor park in my apartment building and I also have the outside area for walks . Your pets are free to roam around my apartment, it’s just me there . I currently have a bunny who is usually in her cage but is used to dogs and cats . If your dog or cat will need to be caged or free with space , those are both an option.

“So happy with the service Duncan (our golden doodle got)! Jess kept us updated daily with pictures and texts. He seemed to go on lots of walks and had lots of company with other canine friends as well as their adorable girls! Will definitely be using Jess again!”
“The dogs RAN up and into Casey's place wagging when drop off, and came out happy, even more spoiled, shinier and somehow smelling nicer?! when picked up. 😆 This is our 52774th time boarding with Casey and we cannot thank her and recommend her to others enough. Casey is extremely thoughtful and attentive to details, and even has now built with our dogs their own routine that put the dogs at ease and peace. Thank you thank you thank you.”
“We had an absolutely amazing experience with our dog sitter and couldn’t recommend them more highly. This was our first time being away from Howie, and naturally we were a little nervous—but they made the entire experience so reassuring from start to finish. While we were away, our return flight ended up getting canceled multiple times, leaving us stranded for an additional three days. What could have been an incredibly stressful situation was made so much easier because they immediately stepped in without hesitation and continued caring for Howie like he was their own. They consistently reassured us that he was safe, happy, and well cared for until we could finally make it home. On top of that, we received dozens of pictures and videos throughout our trip, which truly meant so much—especially as first-time dog parents leaving him behind. Seeing Howie relaxed, playing, and clearly loved gave us total peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone you can trust so completely with your dog, but we absolutely did here. We are beyond grateful and will 100% be using them again.”
“Joseph took great care of my little Frenchie back in January. I had to change my plans quickly due to my pup going into heat super early and a few days before our trip. It was stressful to try and find someone quick that I could trust with my literal child but Joseph made it SO much easier even accommodating pick up and drop off. He sent me lot of picture updates and kept me well informed when she was having tummy issues (due to her heat). I tend to worry about my pup a lot due to her breed and the strict routine I have to make sure she is healthy (if you have a Frenchie you know lol).”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Dana and Nia are truly exceptional pet sitters — caring, understanding, and the kind of people who instantly put you at ease about leaving your furry family member in their hands. Our dog Kippy can be quite a handful. He has a nervous temperament and takes time to warm up to new people, but Dana and Nia were incredibly patient. They took the time to really get to know him, and it showed — Kippy was visibly comfortable and at ease with them, which honestly says everything. On top of that, they were wonderfully flexible and gracious when we ran late, never making us feel rushed or guilty. That kind of warmth and understanding goes a long way. If you’re looking for pet sitters who will treat your little loved ones like their own, look no further. We couldn’t recommend Dana and Nia more highly!”
“Our dog had a great time with Dan and his dog Annie. We were able to drop her off pretty last minute too so I couldn’t recommend Dan enough if you need a dog sitter!”
“Alan and Ying took wonderful care of Ripley during his four-night stay. They were very thoughtful in their approach to make him feel comfortable and at home. Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.”
“Julie was amazing! She sent us pictures of Pepés adventures and told us about all the fun things they did. It was like a luxury vacation for pepé, he loved it. We will be return customers!”
“Isabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.”
“Steven was phenomenal. He sent us daily updates and photos, and it was clear Carly felt completely at home. She came back happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Truly an exceptional experience.”
“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.”
“We love the Jasons and Noah. Millie enjoys being at their home so much her ears perk up every time we say Noah’s name. Jason sends picture and definitely gives our anxious pup the love she needs. Highly recommend!!”
“This was our second time with Ashley, and my dog Charlee was so excited to see her when I dropped her off! She takes great care of her and we will definitely use her in the future.”
“Zarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)”
“Paula was wonderful about my very high energy pup Olive. It was great getting photos of Olive swimming, running around with other dogs, and really living it up while staying with Paula. We can tell she LOVED her stay and felt very comfortable there. Thanks, Paula! Hope Olive can come stay again one day.”
“Stephen & Cecilia were wonderful to my little guy for an overnight stay at their house. They gave me lots of pics and updates. They were sweet and patient with Frank who can be a little shy!”
“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.”
“Ozzi had a great time with their family. We loved to see the pictures of all the snuggling. Highly recommend them and Ozzi is looking forward to his next visit!”
