About: I have grown up around all kinds of animals, most notably my two dogs (15 + 16 years old) who have taught me how to take care of animals. I have also taken care of cats and family/friends dogs. I have a background in healthcare which can help me care for animals with medical conditions. I love all animals and will make sure all animals i take care of will be given plenty of love and care. Currently I am finishing up my spring semester, but i will be free during the summer most day, except for when i go to work (maximum 4 hours a day). After finals my week days will be pretty open and flexible. Dogs are welcome in my home because my three roommates and i all have dogs at home and are able to take care of the dogs when one of us is unable. the dog will be taken on walks and be surrounded by love and attention. The dogs will be fed per their schedule and be active during the day accompanying me on my daily activities.

“Napoleon seemed to have a wonderful time staying with Carolyn, and he came home after a week and a half happy and relaxed. Carolyn responded to our enquiry very quickly, and was very accommodating on pick-up and drop-off. It seems like she treated him as if he were one of her own dogs (Pumpkin is clearly much loved). I would very much recommend Carolyn - thank you for taking such good care of Napoleon”

“It was great working with Caroline. She sent multiple pictures and updates while she was taking care of my dog, Sherlock.

“Noah took excellent care of my very anxious seven year old Abyssinian cat. He was very communicative with me (sending updates and photos each visit, and circling back to make sure I received the update when the app was being weird). My cat is finicky and takes a long time to warm up to people, and Noah was gentle yet persistent and was able to pet my cat (and even got some headbutts from him in return) by the end of their visits. I am truly so impressed and will definitely be hiring Noah in the future!!”

“Thank you so much Jasmine ! She took such phenomenal care of my cat , stayed the whole time to play with him , cleaned the litter box and went above and beyond . So trustworthy . Thank you again .”
“Dani has taken care of Gambit and Logan many times before joining rover. She has been able to give Gambit his medication when he needed it. She quickly learned their quirks and ensures they get personalized attention when she comes by (Gambit likes to sit on the patio for a few minutes and Logan loves to play). Her love for animals is strong. We will continue to usw Dani!”
“Michael took such amazing care of Mootie while I was out of the country for a long work trip. I came back to find Mootie healthy and happy. Michael is the best of the best! I cannot recommend him highly enough!”
“I cannot recommend Justin enough. My two cats took to him immediately! He is attentive with them and was in regular communication with me with any questions or concerns. From the deluge of photos he sent (seriously, each visit averaged 15+!) I was assured they were in good care, and can tell they enjoyed playing with him and some porch time. My partner commented during our trip that I appeared less anxious about them than I normally am. Thank you, Justin!”
“Yanira took amazing care of Ruthie! She can be shy with new people but came out for Yanira, great to get the daily photos! I would absolutely book with her again!”

“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!”
“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.”

“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!”
“Jamie was great! Was flexible with an early pickup, communicated quickly, and took good care of our pup. Benji immediately made himself at home and seemed sad to go, he enjoyed his time with Jamie and Sammie.”
“Kevin hosted Katsu for daycare and made the whole process so easy and seamless! We are boarding Katsu with Kevin next week and feel relieved that our pup will be in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Awesome! He really helped me out when I was in a bind. Great with communication, following care instructions, and just being patient with my puppy. I will be sending Otis back to him when I need his help.”
About: While I am new to these services professionally, I grew up with 4 small dogs (all at once!) and have lots of experience with senior and disabled dogs. Most comfortable with small to medium sized. Starting April 25th, I am completely free for services at almost any time of day! This is my free summer time as a student, but my schedule will change stating July when I begin work. I will update my calendar accordingly! I am always attentive to needs or concerns. I have a 650 sq ft apartment with plenty of parks and places for walking nearby. No crates, no other roommates but I stay home most of the day.
“This was Freddy’s first time staying with Natalie and everything went beautifully! Natalie was very attentive to all of Freddy’s needs and reassured me that he was doing really well throughout the day. I fully anticipate using Natalie again as a sitter for Freddy! I highly recommend! ✅”
“Jacqueline was great. She watched our dog while we went to a show in town and even though it was only a few hours she sent us photos and took him outside twice! She definitely made him feel comfortable enough to quiet down and snuggle. Would recommend her if you need a dog sitter in the Boston area!”
“Adriel was so good with Dilly while I was away. He was very patient with her when she was nervous about leaving me and was very attentive, giving me frequent updates.”
“So grateful for Lauren for talking amazing care of Arlo for us! Quick response for a last minute booking for daycare and Arlo had a great time! Will definitely be rebooking!”
About: My family has owned dogs since I was born and I’ve always loved being around them! In the past, I have dog walked for multiple families in the Boston area. I’m looking to expand my opportunities through Rover! I work full time but I’m also fully remote out of my apartment! I have a very flexible work schedule which allows me to do potty breaks or walks at any point throughout the day. I have a back deck where your dog can get fresh air during the day and I have a shared back area with my apartment neighbors!
“Rowan had a wonderful first day of doggy day care. He got to spend time with fantastic friends, play outside and go on walks. Will definitely book again.”
“A gem of a sitter on Rover! I got so many pix sent to me throughout the day and gave me updates on activities and walks. Took Teddy on some great long walks and loved that he came home tired.”
“We had a great experience with Margaret! She watched Josh for daycare and was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive throughout the day. Josh is still a puppy and can be a lot at times, but she treated him like he was her own and made him feel completely comfortable. I felt very confident leaving him with her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Michelle is amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and felt safe during the meet and greet and first full visit. He came home happy tuckered out after a great day. Would definitely recommend!”

“Nancy stepped in with short notice to cover for my usual dog walker. She was very responsive and even made time for a meet and greet with my pup before the scheduled week of dog walking. She checked in daily, sent pics and was super detailed in her describing her outings and play with my good boy. I highly recommend Nancy and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“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.”

“Sarah was awesome at accommodating a last min walk and was so sweet with my pup. She asked great questions and was nice enough to leave out fresh water for my dog when she left. We look forward to having Sarah help again soon!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for most of my life, from tiny pups to gentle giants! I’m a proud dog mom to a Great Dane, so I know what it takes to handle big personalities (and even bigger paws). Whether it’s a chill cuddle session or an energetic walk, I tailor every visit to your dog’s unique needs. You can count on me to treat your pup like my own with patience, love, and lots of tail wags! I work from home full time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-ins with a little notice. Most days, mid-afternoons to early evenings work best for me, but can be flexible with mornings. If you’re comfortable, I’m happy to bring my pup along for a walk. It’s a great way for your dog to get some friendly socialization! Whether in my home or yours, I always make sure your pups feel comfortable and loved. I will work with you to ensure I am keeping their routine consistent, from feeding and walks, to playtime and snuggles. I am always available for a meet and greet as well! I want to ensure your puppy feels right at home. In addition, I have experience with all kinds of leashes and collars.
“Owen was friendly and dependable. We went on vacation and Owen was able to interface with my mother in law to walk our husky. I would recommend Owen to anyone and will use his services again in the future.”
“Karah is wonderful in every way. She's a great communicator, she's an animal lover, she's flexible, cheerful, punctural, and just an all-around great person. She was so helpful to me when I was recovering from surgery, picking my dog up at daycare and walking him home. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat, and plan to! My old dog felt very comfortable with her. She's a natural.”
“Ange was great! She communicated while she was on the way, during the walk and let me know when she was done. She was also great and patient with my nervous pup. Will definitely use her again!”
“Jose is so great with Blueberry, always brought him back safe and sound, and is incredibly communicative. Blueberry is such a big fan of Jose, and we’ll be booking again soon!”
About: I first started caring for dogs when I was 11 and my family adopted our then 12-week old puppy, Tulip (beagle-hound mix). I was the primary one responsible for her feeding and afternoon walks throughout middle and high school. I also routinely dog sat for neighbors who at the time had a senior poodle, providing daily drop ins and walks. Since moving to Boston, I have been fortunate to become a regular dog walker for neighbors and friends, with experience walking shihtzus, German shepherds, labs, and boxers. While I now own two cats, I would love to get outside and enjoy the summer weather with some new four-legged friends! I work for the public schools, so I am off all summer! I am happy to provide drop-ins or walks throughout the morning and afternoon M-F, with some availability on select Saturday and Sunday afternoons. **School ends on June 26th this year - on dates marked as available prior to June 26th, I can only accommodate afternoon walks between 2:30-7pm. I have cared for puppies all the way up through seniors dogs in their final days, so I am happy to accommodate the specific needs of your dog based on age and temperament. It is my existing habit to send a photo to friends of their dogs every time I visit or take them on a walk, as a way of making sure they know I have actually completed the service and their dog has been properly cared for!
“David is awesome with handling puppies, adults and dogs who are more anxious. Our dog gets so excited to see David everytime he comes. David does a great job of tiring them out and giving them opportunities to be social and get play time with other dogs.”
“Mary was so great with our dog! She had good communication, took her on nice walks, and took very cute pictures of her! She definitely went above and beyond to make sure Lonnie was comfortable and feeling okay!”
“Zachary has been great. First experience using rover and a dog walker. He has been great with communication, follows instructions, and most important of all my dog really warmed up to Zachary and they were playing together on our first meet up.”
