“Maizy came home from her visit with Whitney very relaxed. She seems to have enjoyed her time there. Whitney asked a lot of questions before we left Maizy with her, so I felt confident that she was going to take good care of her. She also responded immediately to all of my texts. Whitney and David are very calm and kind which is just what Maizy needs to feel comfortable in an unfamiliar place. I would definitely trust them again!”

I would happily recommend them to anyone and would easily book with them again!”

“Dana was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and were nervous to leave our pup with someone new (he was previously not a fan of being boarded). However, from initial message I could tell Dana knew what he was doing. We did a meet and greet before our dog’s stay and Dana was very thorough with how he operates when he is taking care of a dog, which certainly made me feel comfortable. Dana is also super laid back and more than willing to accommodate our slight adjustments in our pick up time. Our dog looked very comfortable with Dana and when we went to pick him up our dog did not want to leave. We will definitely have our pup stay with Dana in the future!”

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.”

“We were delighted with the care for Hugo. We were nervous about leaving him with a new family in unaccustomed surroundings but he clearly had a nice time and was very relaxed when he came home.”


““I had another wonderful day today with my friend Debbie and her family! She is always so welcoming and makes me feel right at home! We had lots of fun playing and taking walks together! Can’t wait to go back!” ~Jimmy”

About: I've had dogs all my life, various breeds. Learned alot about them over the years. Have 3 dogs currently. I have given dogs medication before I look after dogs every single day all the time. I take care of my dogs needs first before my own so I know that they have everything they need on time and are happy and content. I care and treat other people's dogs as if they were my own and I treat mine as if they are family because they are. I would bring a leash to walk the dog if the owner doesn't have one, have doggie bags, safe dog treats, and during the hot months a little water dish and water in case the dog is thirsty. It's important to always be prepared.

“Duffy had a great time during her first visit with Sean and his dogs. She was exhausted when she arrived home from all the running and playing. We'd recommend Sean to anyone in the area for dog-sitting.”

“Brian took great care of Charlie today. He responded quickly to messages and shared lots of pictures and information during the day. We would definitely work with Brian again and recommend him to all!”

About: I have cared for all sizes and breeds of dog (ranging from 3lb to 115lbs) and I have experience caring for senior dogs and puppies! I’ve owned dogs of my own as well, and I truly love being around and caring for them. I’ve become very comfortable reading dogs’ body language and understanding their individual needs and personalities. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I have plenty of time for dog sitting/visits in your home, dog walking, or boarding at my home or your home (if not too far!) I have a nice big back yard for your dog/dogs to roam. They would have access to the whole house. Can be crated if requested!
About: I have a 9 year old Shih Tzu, her name is Zola. She loves people and other animals. I am currently home more then expected and would love to help other working people with their pets. If your pet needs a certain food or specific routine, let me know and I am happy to help maintain the normal. When I first got my dog, it was so hard to leave her during the day when I went to work. She was so small, and I didn't want her to be lonely. I understand how hard it is to leave a fur child and want to help others be comfortable knowing they are being looked after during the day or overnight. I will love them like my own. I am currently working from home and have ability to 'schedule' accordingly to cover dog needs - walking or playing and to schedule time as needed to walk near by dogs as well. I do not have a fenced yard. I walk with a leash. I can 'fence' in a small area for free time in the yard. I also can let dogs out on the deck and use 'gates' to block stairs. I care for all pets the same as I do my own. I work remote and have a flexible schedule allowing me to play with and walk your pups at various times. And a lot of time for snuggles and petting I have a good size deck with fenced entrances for general relaxation outside. My yard is not fully fenced but a good size for small dog play
About: I focus on calm, structured, and reliable dog care — especially for dogs that need consistency and clear routines. What I do differently: • Maintain a structured daily routine (walks, rest, feeding on schedule) • Provide a calm and controlled home environment (no chaos, no overcrowding) • Give regular photo/video updates so you always know how your dog is doing I’m especially a great fit for: • High-energy dogs that need structured walks • Dogs that feel anxious in new environments • Owners who want clear communication and peace of mind Services: • Dog walking (30/60 min) • Drop-in visits • House sitting • Boarding (safe, clean, supervised environment) My goal is simple: 👉 Your dog stays calm, safe, and well cared for 👉 You don’t have to worry while you’re away I am currently working from home. I have plenty of time to take good of your pets except on Wednesday Thursday You can drop them off anytime - in order to maintain a healthy environment, I require all dogs to stay with us to be up-to-date with all their vaccines -Dogs who exhibit “marking “behavior will not be accepted -Dogs with any aggressive issue toward people will not be accepted. Thanks for understanding
“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!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and they have always been one of my major passions. From small animals, to dogs and cats, to chickens, livestock, and horses - I've seen it all! I spent some time as a animal science/pre-vet student before Covid, and worked for a horse breeder/trainer for 3 years where I coordinated daily care for our animals, as well as helped client's with training and lessons while taking a break from university. I have since graduated and been immersed in the world of financial services for the last few years, and work from home along with my father. We both enjoy walking, and live right on the Blue Hills Skyline trail, so can go for a quick loop or 9 mile hike out of our back door. We also have a gated portion of the yard off of the patio, as well as a large front grass field that are all welcome to be taken advantage of by our four-legged friends. We lost our family dog about 2 years ago and enjoy having a furry friend in the house, but are not ready for the heartbreak that eventually comes along with bringing another dog into our family. We would love to host your dog as a part of our family to enjoy our attention, care, and access to great outdoor amenities for a dog that likes to explore, sniff, or go on hikes. Also great for a dog that enjoys having a fenced area. I work from home every day of the week, so I don't have any requirements to be out of the house. I tend to wake up on the earlier side and enjoy going for a walk, as well as a walk around lunchtime and the evening. I am consistent with whatever routine your dog requires, and like to cater towards what makes them the happiest and most at home. Your dog will have nearly 24/7 attention, and I am very glad to provide! We have a number of options in our home depending on your comfortability with your dogs access to the home/garden. We have a fenced area off of the side of the house with an attached mudroom (if dogs prefer to sleep alone, this can be a good option), as well as a large front field and access to the Blue Hills hiking trails. The kitchen is gated, so we tend to spend time in this space with the dog to keep an eye on them. We have a large crate available and are happy to set up your dogs crate if needed. We are happy to allows the dogs on the living room couch, but can keep them off if you prefer them to keep their feet on the floor - we have a large variety of dog beds as well throughout the house. The dogs are welcome in the bed/bedroom depending on your preferences, just let me know where you would like them to stay. There are currently no animals in the home.
“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.”

“Natalie was very communicate and caring with my little dog. Everytime we reached out to her, she always responded on time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will rebook with her in the future.”

“Kayla took great care of Ruby while dog sitting. She provided plenty of updates and my pup had fun day with Kayla and her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kayla again for sitting!”

“Thank you so much, Easton had a great day and was well taken care of and had fun. Alex was flexible and helpful when we needed a bit more time, and kept our pup for longer than initially planned. A great setup and great with Eaton. Thank you! We will see you again soon”

“Jamie was wonderful! Kind, considerate, great communicator. My dog Eddie had such a happy day in her and her family’s care. We definitely look forward to next time!!”

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!

“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: Hi! I've had gerbils, fish and dogs growing up, fostered ducks, snakes and guinea pigs and house sat for the occasional cat (and house plants). My current living situation doesn't allow for me to have pets, but I'd love to spend time helping take care of yours I'm taking a break from engineering to get my EMT certification. I'm available all the time until class starts in May, when I'll be spending the weekday mornings in class I can't host in my home, (roommates with pet allergies) but I'm happy to drive (or train or bus or walk) to see yours in their space.

“Kylie has been so great working with my dog Knox! She is reliable, responsible and caring which has led Knox to feel comfortable with her. She also takes the time to leave the best Rover Cards with details and tons of pics from their walks, which I really enjoy seeing while I’m out at work!”


“Maegan is fantastic! She's super professional, communicates very well, and goes the extra mile to ensure our dog is well cared for. We feel fortunate to have her regularly walk our dog and can't recommend her highly enough!”

“Nicole is terrific, even with the most moody and eccentric dog on the planet. One day he walks fine, another he won't budge-she knew how to roll with whatever mood my dog was in to make sure his needs were met.”

About: I have taken care of my Dog Cooper for 16 years. I have experience with puppies and also Senior Dogs. I love taking long walks with all different types of Dogs. I walk my Dog Cooper five times a day. I enjoy taking long walks with Cooper. It’s important to have a clear schedule and routine. I can be a great Dog Walker and provide any care needed at home. I am happy to clean up or help with any care the dog needs.

About: I LOVE animals, dogs, cats, birds, you name it, any type of pet and am naturally extremely caring for them, regardless if they are my pets or not. I'm currently home from graduating college and was looking for something i would enjoy doing, and i LOVE animals, and i got introduced into Rover. I've had a dog my whole life and trained them, and would love to help other's people and their pets! I have a dog, that I feed, walk and play with everyday. I walk him for at least 15 minutes, but he likes being out and playing catch, or even play inside.
About: I have a strong speciality working with felines and canines. Throughout the years, having pets of my own and pet sitting, I gained hands-on experience providing safe, effective, feeding, bathing, cleaning, and enrichment (including exercise) to varying animals through positive reinforcement. Additionally, taking animal behavior courses over the year's I learned a strong understanding how to interpret and respond to different species behaviors, such as fear. I then translated this knowledge working with fearful and traumatized canines to build their trust over time and to create positive associations in my personal time. I currently have a part-time job and can ensure to make your schedule fit into mine. I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them. When I’m caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible — same walk times, meals, and plenty of play and cuddle time. In my home, I make sure there’s a comfy spot for naps, space to play, and lots of attention. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with respect and care. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know what makes each one comfortable and content.
About: I love all pups and will treat your fur babies as my own 🐾 I have been caring for big dogs since I was a child and have always had a love for them. I also have previous experience working at a doggie daycare, with dogs all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and will be home with your pups to follow their bathroom and feeding schedule and get lots of play time and cuddles while they’re in my care! I wake up around 7 am, feeding and bathroom routine, play time and walks throughout the day. I can also stick to any routine needed. There is currently one dog in my home, so I will only be caring for one additional dog at a time. My apartment complex has grassy areas for bathroom time, and I have plenty of room for your dog to play and rest. Neighborhood walks are also available.
“Calvin has taken my very energetic 5 month old puppy for a few half hour walks while my husband and I are at work. Calvin always makes sure to update us and send cute pics of their walk!”
