“Kennedy, our golden retriever, always has the best time at Jings! We know that Kennedy is always in good hands with Jing and her family as they truly treat Kennedy like one of their own. Jing keeps us updated with pictures and her communication is fantastic. We will continue to be repeat clients - cannot recommend her enough!”
“Su took such good care of my sweet girl!! His home is a lovely space and is very welcoming for a visitor. He sent detailed updates with photos so I always knew my pup was doing great. He really seemed to care about her happiness and well-being! I am so grateful! I hope to use his services again!”
“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. Flexible and understanding on a traffic delay I had coming to get her. Would definitely have Dusty stay again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for quality care for your pup!”
“My 5 year old Lab, Lily, stayed for Jen and Robert and their kids for 2 weeks while I was traveling. Not only they treated Lily as she is their own dog, they sent me daily updates and photos of Lily. I would recommend trusting them with your fur babies.”
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“Ye and family were excellent with my senior dog Jake. They sent me updates every day and catered to Jake’s needs as an older pup (eating habits, meds, frequent potty breaks). Jake also met a few other pup friends on his visit. Would love to have Jake stay again in the future.”
“Alex is the best! My dog has been sick and Alex took good care of her and was attentive. My dog was on meds & she made sure she took her pills. Strongly recommend Alex!”
“Kristina was fantastic! We had a great meet and greet before our trip, then she was very flexible about dropping them off and picking them up. Her yard was great for them to run around and get some outdoor time. She sent us photos and updates daily, and even posted to their instagram account. We will call her up next time we need a sitter for sure!”
“Thank you! Cindy (Shuhua) took care of my dog, who has complex health needs and takes medication 3 times a day. She was responsible and patient as I went over all my dog's care instructions and vet information. She sent regular photos and updates, and was careful to monitor for changes in my dog's health/behavior and report back to me. I am a devoted dog mom, and it's very important for me to have a sitter I can trust to take care of my dog properly so I feel comfortable being away. Cindy was just as wonderful as I had anticipated! Plus, she's a great baker! I will reach out again in the future for my pet care needs :)”
“Lorena was so attentive and responsive with updates — she went above and beyond to ensure my pet’s stay was great! I would recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter :)”
“Josie had a great stay! She especially loves the large fenced in yard for playing and the feeling of being in a home. Drop off and pick up was super easy too. Will definitely use again.”
“When we picked up our pup, you could tell her really enjoyed his time with Yulia and her family. He was happy to see us, but I'm pretty sure he would have been equally happy to stay with them. We will certainly be using Yulia's services again in the future.”
“Hong made me feel really comfortable leaving my pup with him. He was super organized about my dog's needs at the meet and greet, provided plenty of updates and pics during the stay, and was overall a pleasure. I knew my dog was in good hands while I was away!”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“Tomoe was great! We left our Boston terrier with her and she took great care of him, giving him all the play time and cuddles. We felt extremely comfortable leaving him with Tomoe and would use her again!”

“Took really good care of my fur babies and was conscientious and tidy in my apartment. Loved the updates and photos! I will definitely re-book and it made me very comfortable in a stressful work event that I knew my cats were taken care of, especially my newly diabetic cat!”
“Lauren is great with our cats, making sure they get their specific dietary needs and lots of play and pets! She is also very communicative about how the cats are doing, which gives my wife and me plenty of peace of mind when we're away.”
“We'll be booking with Jordan again! She gave our cat Z her full attention and care beyond just the basics. Z can be feisty and demands independence but also values social time and connection. Jordan spent quality time with Z, playing with her and giving her pets and snuggles within Z's boundaries. After a couple days Z started standing watch awaiting Jordan's arrival. That's how we know that Z was well loved!”
“Olivia was wonderful! My cat is a very social, affectionate guy - he really needs companionship when I have to travel as he can sometimes get ibd flair ups when he is stressed, and I can tell she kept him in excellent company. He was perfectly calm and happy when I got back. I really appreciated Olivia taking the time to do an intro visit; she is friendly and professional, and struck an immediate friendship with my cat - it's always a little scary to leave your pet with a new sitter, but it was easy to trust Olivia with him upon first meeting her. She sent check in texts and photos. We look forward to booking with her again in the future!”
“Olivia left thoughtful and detailed messages during her visits with my cat, which helped put me at ease when I was away from her for the first time. I had no idea my cat would hiss, and Olivia managed to handle it well. She even got toys out for JoJo when I forgot to put them out.”
“Did a great job making sure our three cats were taken care of and fed while we were away! Would definitely recommend her if you need help with your fur babies and we would definitely rebook her services in the future if she is available!”
“J was a fantastic stay-in catsitter for my foster cat, Lyric. She stayed for six days and nights, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Lyric can be shy, but J did an amazing job bringing him out of his shell. She got him using cat beds and toys he’d never shown interest in before. J clearly has a wonderful instinct with cats and a very calm, positive presence. J also took excellent care of the house, kept the litter very clean, and was extremely communicative throughout the stay. J sent lots of photos and videos, and as a former professional photographer the pictures were truly beautiful. As a thoughtful surprise, J even left a small painting of Lyric on a wooden block, which meant a lot. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend J to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and truly wonderful cat sitter.”
“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.”
“Aida was wonderful! I needed last minute care for my cats while I was away and she was able to do it. She was prompt and paid attention to details and my kitties were very happy! Would gladly hire her agai !”
“"Marina is absolutely wonderful! From the start, she was reliable and incredibly helpful, making the whole process stress-free. She has a very calm and patient energy that immediately put my mind at ease. She followed every single instruction to the letter and showed such a caring attitude toward my home and pets. I highly recommend Marina, and I’m already looking forward to having her watch my kitties again!"”
“Kay did a nice job with drop in visits for Ted. She sent plenty of photos with her very detailed updates, and was always very responsive to messages. Will definitely use her services 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.”

“Angelica is a wonderful pet sitter, she is very friendly and responsive. She took good care of my cat and did everything that I requested and more. My cat loved her, and I had a worry-free trip knowing that my cat is in good hands. I will definitely book her again in the future and recommend her to my friends and family! Thank you Angelica!”

“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki!

“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.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for over a decade—starting with my family dog and now as the owner of a rescue dog of my own. Most of my experience has been with smaller dogs (25 lbs or less), but I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I regularly walk my dog around Newton and Cold Spring Park, and I’m familiar with local dog parks (both fenced and off-leash). I prioritize safe, attentive walks and make sure each dog gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering oral medication, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle care. As a Rover user myself, I know how important trust and communication are. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care. I’m a great fit for busy working professionals and families who need reliable, thoughtful support, as well as for senior dogs or lower-energy pets who benefit from a calm, consistent environment. To ensure the highest level of attention and comfort, I care for one dog or cat at a time. I work from home most days, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for drop-in visits or walks around lunchtime, and again in the late afternoon and evening after the kids are done with school or camp. I enjoy building time into my day to give pets the attention, consistency, and care they need—and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I approach pet care with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and trust. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, or favorite activities. I’m attentive on walks (leash safety, awareness of surroundings) and make sure pets are secure at all times. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and supervised environment. I’m mindful of creating a safe space and ensuring pets feel at ease. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Alexander was absolutely amazing with our two large dogs. They enjoyed all of the walks that he took them on and he was always on time and made sure to send us pictures. Can’t recommend him enough.”
About: Along with growing up with two dogs and helping to raise a puppy as a teenager, family friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats since I was ten. I've worked with all types of dogs, from Shih Tzus to Pit Bull mixes. I'm the one in my family who takes the dogs out on long hikes (or for short walks around the block once they get older), brushes their teeth and fur, gives them baths, and trims their nails. I'm a regular volunteer at cat shelters in cat care, and as a student on the pre-veterinary track, I have shadowed and volunteered at vet clinics to better understand the care that goes into your pets' health. Besides dogs and cats, I also have experience with a myriad of animals, such as hamsters, rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, mice, fish, hermit crabs, geckos, snakes, tortoises, and turtles. I have experience in preparing special diets for pets and other animals with specific health needs, and in senior dog care. I'm a college student, so I fit bookings around my classes and workload. My classes start at 8 am on weekdays, so my general availability is as follows: Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Available after 11:30 am Tuesday: Available after 6 pm Thursday: Heavier on classes, but I may be able to do a quick drop-in in the morning/evening if needed Weekends: Unavailable 8-10 am Saturdays, otherwise available As a lover of all creatures, I take the safety of both pets and wildlife seriously. As such, I will always supervise pets that are outside in yards and keep them on leashes outside fenced-off areas so they are not a danger to others or themselves. If transporting pets in my car, I will keep them safe and secure in a carrier/crate. As a college student who has shared living spaces with new people before, I understand the importance of respecting others' belongings and boundaries. During drop-in visits, I will be sure to respect your home and any rules you may have for your comfort (i.e. no shoes in the house, specific dishes/silverware for pets only, general cleanliness, etc.).
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was 16 years old. I’ve worked with a range of young dogs to senior dogs. Taking them on walks and playing with them for extended periods of time. I am currently not working a full-time job, but I am looking for part-time careers. As of right now I have a wide open schedule to care for pets. I would not take on a job that would not give me plenty of time to care for and entertain any animals under my care. I have plenty of experience with crating animals when not in the home. As well as having animals on a leash at all times that they are not in the home and the area is not fenced in. My cat at home is an indoor cat, except for the occasional time she gets in her “Catio” outside under supervision.
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Our pets at adore Diane! She is one of the best pet walkers and sitters we’ve ever found. Thank you so much for your genuine friendship and care to our little family. We appreciate you!”
“Claudia was great! I highly recommend her for dog-walking. She was prompt, friendly, and clearly very good with dogs. She took careful notes on all of Milo’s needs and preferences the first time we met, making me feel very at ease. Thanks, Claudia!”
“Maria is wonderful! Always very thoughtful and caring when she is walking my 9yr old French bulldog! Making sure she takes it easy when it is very hot outside. And putting her rain coat on and coaxing her outside in the rain.”
“Five stars doesn’t feel like enough- I highly recommend Charlie! My dog’s excitement level goes through the roof when I say Charlie’s name. Charlie’s responsible, caring, fun, and shows a genuine love in caring for animals. I feel a real sense of comfort having such a kind and attentive sitter for my dog! I’m truly grateful!”
About: My family has owned dogs all my life. All of them have been shelties, so I know how to care for energetic dogs. I helped take care of our senior dog Misha, who passed at 17 years old. I also helped train and care for our two puppies Sadie and Ollie. Sadie has anxiety problems, and I’ve had plenty of experience getting her to take medications. She also had to get surgery to remove her tail, and I was her primary care giver during her recovery, including administering medication and cleaning the site. Now that I’ve moved away from home for college, I don’t get to see my dogs much anymore, and would love to care for yours! I’ve also had experience caring for cats, even though I’ve never personally owned any. My best friend used to have 6 cats and I always took care of them when they’d go on vacations, including administering meds, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and playing. I’m currently working part time and am a student at CU, so I have time to take dogs on walks or drop in to check on them and let them outside. In the summer, my schedule will open up and I’ll be able to pet sit for longer times while you go on vacation! I feel safe around all sorts of dogs, including big ones. I’m not able to have pets in my apartment, but I will provide them with the highest level of care in your home! I will take them on long walks around the neighborhood or to parks.
“Chuck walked my dog Wally for me for five days when I was in the hospital and did an excellent job. He was patient and friendly and wrote adorable little notes updating how each walk went. He took really cute photos of wally each day and varied the route, often walking longer than we even asked for and taking interesting paths around the neighborhood rather than the boring round the block walks! Thanks for the help and professionalism Chuck!!”
“Eliza is excellent! She has a sincere love of animals, and quickly developed a rapport with our terrier Henry. Eliza communicates clearly and responsively, and tailors Henry’s walk according to any special instructions we give her. She always sends a report card with info about the walk afterward and a snapshot showing Henry at some point in the walk. Although we’ve set up a regular walking schedule with Eliza, she also is flexible when she can be, covering additional walks or schedule changes. We highly recommend Eliza for your pet care needs!”
“Leanne did a wonderful job dropping in on our 75 pound pup while we were gone for the night. Sent lots of pictures and updates, which was super helpful. He didn’t want her to leave! Would have her come by again anytime”

“Can’t begin to explain how amazing Liz and the rest of her family were with my two boys ❤️. I knew as soon as we met the boys were going to love her. Liz is very cheerful, loving and attentive. She did an amazing job at keeping me up to date and most importantly making sure my boys felt at home and safe. I received daily pictures which included dj and beans taking car rides, walks, sleeping and just hanging with the family. If you love your furry companions as much as I do, book with Liz, you won’t be disappointed ❤️”
About: I have one dog and have fostered over a dozen others, including various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience working with super energetic dogs and reactive dogs and love training! I am home for the summer, and I am available all day, because I am working from home! My schedule is very flexible so let me know what works best for you :). Safety is always my number one priority. I have lots of experience reading animal behavior. Please tell me what I should know about your pets or before coming to your home, and if there are any precautions you would like me to take in order to keep your pets happy and healthy! I will always keep dogs on leash, and keep water and treats with me. Will send updates and picture/videos too!

“Our 7 year old dog Blaze did very well with his first stay away from home with Paul M. Blaze was calm during drop off and at pick up. He was calm meeting Paul M. Paul sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. All communication before and during the booking was very timely. Paul reported keeping feeding and walking schedules as requested. Blaze was on track with everything up on return home. Thank you so much Paul M.”
“Pamela was a fantastic caregiver for our dog, Elke. I got regular updates and photos while we were away. She even went the extra mile and replaced a harness that Elke chewed when there was a severe thunder storm! I would highly recommend her!”
“Alan and Ying were great! They took excellent care of Nori, and we had regular updates. Nori loves playing with their dogs and from updates, she had a ton of fun.”
