“Kim was so wonderful and helped us out in a pinch with very little notice. Bos was so well cared for and content with her and we really appreciated her frequent updates with pictures. We’ll definitely work with Kim again.”
“Su is the absolute best! We had him care for our 10 year old Husky for 2 weeks and he was so great about updates, walks, food, treats, and play time. We also couldn’t pick him up on the scheduled date and Su was so helpful and flexible to keep him an extra night. We are so grateful and highly recommend Su. We look forward to the future stays!”
“Gomer had a great time staying with Holly and having River as a play/house mate! Gomer was exhausted when we got home and I could tell he had fun staying for one night at Holly's. I so appreciated how Holly kept me updated on Gomer, was extremely responsive and overall, a pleasure to meet. I definitely plan to call Holly again for Gomercare!”
“Dusty had a great time with Julie, and she was terrific. Warm and caring, really great communication throughout Dusty’s stay, which is always much appreciated.

“Jennifer did an absolute amazing job with my big baby!! This was my first time leaving my pitbull with someone who’s not family or friends for a weekend. I was so nervous at first and Jennifer made me feel so comfortable with all of the updates over the weekend! I highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her again in the future! Top notch dog sitter”

Pamela has a fenced in back yard and also took Mocha out for walks. We would use Pamela again, when the needs requires it.”

“Thank you once again for making our Thanksgiving holiday worry free. We loved the pictures and updates. I am sure that our pup is eager for us to find an excuse to bring her back.”
“Kathy is such a wonderfully warm person and even though my dog is used to his space and alone time, I had no reservations about leaving him with her and the other pets in her home. She sent photos so I could stay up to date, and when I was sick on returning from my trip, she was so helpful in getting my dog back home. 100% recommend :D”
“Whitney took incredible care of our girl, Luna, while we were out of town. She gave us regular snuggle updates and helped Luna feel safe and cared for in our absence.”
“Greta is an amazing dog sitter! She provided lots of updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked incredibly happy and well cared for throughout the stay.

I would highly recommend Greta to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Yi was fabulous! She took great care of our ragdoll kitten, Pudding. She is incredibly responsive and sends multiple pictures and videos every day. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Eddy and his team did a great job taking care of my 9 lb chihuahua mix, Tiberius! I received multiple updates every day of Tiberius enjoying himself outside and even getting along with other dogs--not something he usually likes to do. He was fed regularly and got lots of attention and treats. He was returned to me happy and healthy. Highly recommend for attention to detail, great caretaking, and genuine passion and love of dogs.”
“Yick-hong was FANTASTIC with Fiona! From the start, he was very communicative and thorough with the intake before the actual boarding. While Fiona stayed with Yick-hong, we could see that she was very comfortable and happy from her body language. He took great care of her, took her on scenic walks, played with her, pampered her - and even taught her new tricks! We are very happy that Fiona made a new friend, and would happily leave her with Yick-hong again. Fantastic sitter and companion”

“Ari is a wonderful, reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. Gave me a wonderful updates and took the time to let my nervous cat feel comfortable. Awesome pictures! I could feel how comfortable my cats were and they were clearly happy and well taken care of when I got home”
About: I’ve had cats since I was born and grew up taking care of them from the ages of kittens to senior kitties. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, from super social and playful to shy and independent. I currently have a cat of my own who I rescued from a shelter when he was 6 and I absolutely love him!
“Stephanie did daily drop in visit for a week for our cat, Fish. She gave him daily pill at certain time every day, cleaned his water bowls, and checked on his litter box. She also shared many photos and videos, which we appreciated. She was friendly and gentle with him and he was very happy to have her around. We could not be happier with her care. We will be booking her again when we go out of town. Thank you!”
“Claire was a great cat sitter! She was patient and caring with our very shy cats. She was also communicative and diligent about taking care of our home. She even offered to water our plants! We will definitely be booking her again soon.”
“Jordan was very helpful to come out on such short notice. I could tell by the photos she provided that my cats enjoyed their time with her! Will rehire.”
“Carol was amazing!! She took care of my cat for 2 weeks and provided the best care. My cat has epilepsy, and Carol was there in the morning and evening every day to give S’more her medication, food, treats, and playtime. She sent photos and detailed summaries of every visit! My cat is normally shy with new people, and she warmed up to Carol instantly. It eased my anxiety to know that my cat was in great hands while I was gone. Also, S’more ran out of food while I was gone, and Carol went out of her way to pick some up at the store. Would definitely book Carol again!”
“It was pleasure to have Traci stay at my home! She made me feel really comfortable and followed all the Instructions given. She even looked after my Bonsai trees.”
“Kathleen is the best. We are so appreciative to have her come and care for our kitty when we can’t be home. We love her notes and photos and is always so kind but thorough and detailed in her care.”
“J spent time learning about each cat before staying overnight with them. In addition to our very social cat Squeaky, she connected with our shy cats on her first visit. J also gave our senior cat Marmalade two medications. I highly recommend for overnight pet care.”
“Claudia is an amazing pet sitter. She's incredibly considerate of our skittish kitty. Giving her plenty of time and space to get comfortable. Thanks to her, Smokie, our adult cat, is in wonderful hands when we're away. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Sandra did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our shy kitty, Ramsey. She really made the effort to try to coax him out to get treats and play - and was successful, which is rare! It’s easy to write off our little Ramsey after he shows zero interest in interacting (most folks do) so we really appreciate the extra effort Sandra took with him. We haven’t been able to find a cat sitter able to connect with him for many years and we’re thrilled she was able to do so! It made our trip so much easier knowing our baby was in good hands (and not lonely) back home!”
“Adelle takes excellent care of our cats and understands their individual needs. She is very meticulous in following all feeding and care instructions and provides detailed updates after each visit. We will definitely continue booking her in the future.”
“Maegan was punctual, thorough, and so sweet with my cat! I am always nervous to leave him alone, and my fears were put at ease by Maegan's thorough visit summaries and lots of pictures!”
“Kay is a great cat sitter! She comes on time, shows our Ted plenty of love, and sends us detailed updates along with pictures. She is also super responsive to messages. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Great cat sitter. Nadine was highly reliable and was able to care for our elderly cat. She made it a breeze to train her on the cat's med schedule and quirky nature. Highly recommend.”
“Sabina did an amazing job. Went above and beyond in taking care of my cat even bringing over a comb, some rub in shampoo, and staying extra one day. Truly a great cat sitter!”

“Ling and Ye were great with my puppy! I had to work a very, very long day and they were very accommodating with an early drop off and late pick up. They also made me feel comfortable by sending pictures throughout the day to reassure me that she was having a great day. I will definitely hire them again!”
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”

“Emma took such great care of Arya and she was so happy with her stay! Emma sent updates and pictures to me of my baby girl and kept me updated with any changes. I would definitely recommend her!”
“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”
“I was a Nervous parents because it’s first time to use rover but it turns out great experience . Our puppy Totori get to meet good dog friends and bond with Daria as soon as he met her Totori didn’t want to leave her place after day care and that tells us everything ! I will definitely ask her to take care of my puppy again”
“If I could leave 10 stars, I would. Greta was absolutely AMAZING. Great communication, and an extremely happy pup when I picked her up. Thank you so much Greta for taking care of my Gracie as if she were your own.”
“Shuai and his team are the most amazing, loving, caring animal lovers I've met. They asked me so many great questions about Teddy beforehand and made sure I always had my questions answered... I asked a lot of questions! They reassured and validated all my feelings about having a puppy and sending him to them. They picked up and dropped Teddy off in a timely manner and made him feel safe during the ride. They sent me pictures and updates all day/night when they had Teddy and made sure I was always in the loop with how he was doing. They even helped initiate some training and had him going in the carrier not scared which was a huge win! They played with him all day and took beautiful pictures that I now cherish. I can't recommend them enough. If you're looking for someone, choose Shuai!”
“Tae was terrific! This was the first time that Tae took care of our 2-year-old puppy, Sammy. Tae was very quick to respond, totally flexible, and a pleasure to work with. It was very easy to set up a Meet & Greet, and Sammy and I both felt very comfortable playing together at a park as we got to know Tae and her doodle, Udon. After the daycare, I received a detailed report card with great pictures, and Sammy came home happy and tired. I would highly recommend Tae's services and look forward to the next time that she can care for our pup.”
“Allie is the best sitter we’ve ever used on Rover. She took such great care of our special needs deaf dog on short notice. She kept us updated and made sure our pup enjoyed his time in her home amongst her own pets. We would certainly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Banapsha and Sid were so wonderful with me and Zephyr. I had a last minute request for daycare and they were willing to take us on short notice.. They really went the extra mile to make sure my pup was well taken care of. Banapsha was so kind to keep me updated every few hours with pictures and updates of Zeph. Zeph looked like he had a blast the entire time playing ball and tug. I'm definitely a bit of a helicopter mom when it comes to my pup and Banapsha was up to do a meet and greet beforehand so as to put me at ease since this was our first time together. She asked tons of questions and really took the time to take note of my pups quirks. I could really tell how much she absolutely loved pups and how well Zeph took to her when we met. So so grateful to have found someone I can trust to take care of my pup when I'm away. Ill definitely be back again soon!!!!”

“Jess is incredibly kind and patient with my dog. My dog is sometimes slow to warm and very shy. Jess took the time to let him adjust. She goes above and beyond. My dog is high energy and Jess made every effort to make sure he ran and sprinted to get his energy out. Would definitely hire again!”
“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”
About: I’ve been caring for pets and animals since as far back as I can remember! Once I got my very own pets (a dog and two cats) outside of my family home, it became a whole new world of understanding what it takes to train and care for fur babies. My sweet Aussie, Poppy, like most, is high-energy and anxious, but getting her at just 8 weeks old gave me the opportunity to dive into the world of dog behaviorism and training. She has come leaps and bounds from the over-excited, reactive pup she was, and the work that goes into helping a dog feel more calm and confident in the world means a lot to me. I've worked with dog trainers and have researched for countless hours to understand how and why dogs and cats behave the way they do to give my own the best lives possible, and I would love to take the same care with your own fur baby! I have a flexible WFH schedule on Mondays and Thursdays, as well as weekend availability, that gives me the opportunity to fit in extra walks / visits with new fur babies! I'm comfortable administering medication, crating dogs, cleaning litter boxes, etc. as needed! If it has to do with the day-to-day for cats or dogs, it's all good with me! I do appreciate detailed instructions to make sure that I take the best possible care to follow the routines you already have in place with your pets :)
“Traci is truly amazing and takes such wonderful care of Sandy while we're away. We can always count on Traci -- including during a major snowstorm (20+ inches)! Sandy absolutely loves her, and we know Sandy is in great hands with Traci.”

“Thank you Jana for a great few months of dog walking! We appreciate how much you care about our little Rigby. We are looking forward to continuing to work together in the new year!”

“Claudia was great with our dog who is very anxious by nature. She was on time and very responsible in communication with me through Rover. I felt great peace of mind knowing our dog was walked and well taken care of while we had a couple of long days at work. Highly recommend!”
“Scout had a great first week with Aaron - she seemed happy with the walks and very comfortable with him. From the human side, he's a good and responsive communicator, and responsible around scheduling and closing up the house. He clearly loves dogs and has a good way with them. Thumbs up!”
“Julia was great! Totally reliable, pleasant and kind. Our dog can be wary around new people, but he warmed up to her just about instantly. She knows how to work with “nervous” mutts. I’ll definitely request her again if I need a dog walker.”
About: I have never owned a dog myself, but I have always taken care of my friend’s dogs when they go out somewhere. I also like to know what your dogs like before I take them anywhere, so I can plan ahead on what to do! If you would like to know more about me, let me know! I currently work at an office job, so I am mostly available on the weekends. There are some days in which I can be flexible when house sitting, but it depends on my schedule! If the house sitting is through the weekdays, then I will be able to do so, but I will be out of the house for 7-8 hours. I work from home on Monday and Friday, so I can be more consistent in giving breaks. I make sure that I double check everything around me for safety for the dog and myself. I try to have a schedule with the dogs and make sure that they have everything that they need.
“Leanne has been walking our dog 4 days a week for the past few weeks. She is responsible and shares great info and updates. And Maggie is always so excited when she arrives. Leanne goes above and beyond. We are going to keep using her as long as we can!”
“Tanya did a great job taking our boxer Nala on daily afternoon walks. She was great at communicating any changes in her schedule with me, flexible to meet my needs to care for Nala, and always polite and professional. Thank you so much for you help Tanya! It was comforting knowing that Nala was in good hands while we were away.”
About: Hello! I love taking Newton, Waltham and Watertown pups for walks during the day. Happy to go a little further if the timing is right. You can count on me when it comes to communication with you and love for your baby. I bring toys and treats, and can work with shy dogs! I work full time from home in HR as a comp analyst. My schedule is very flexible. I want to schedule walks adhoc during the day or after work! When entering a clients home I will treat the area with care, make sure to lock up, check for water for the animal. I will do my best to find an appropriate outdoor/garage trash for the waste as well.
