“Dana is the most professional sitter I have met through Rover. I was invited to go for a walk with him and my dog before the booking, during which he demonstrated his knowledge of interpreting canine body language and skill at correcting bad behaviors. I was provided daily video updates on how my dog was doing. When I came to pick my dog up, I was invited to sit and eat a home-cooked meal with Dana’s family. I will definitely look for Dana next time I need a sitter.”
“Another weekend boarding experience with Casey that we could not be happier about! Our dogs now RUN UP the stairs to Casey's place in excitement and we felt so at ease leaving them. We had very spotty service during the weekend at where we were, but we knew that our dogs were being cared for the best they could be (spoiled, really!) and gave us zero worries. Thank you, thank you, Casey.”

“Ling & Ye are the best! They took great care of our active dog, giving her plenty of walks and playtime and following the care instructions we provided. We got pictures throughout the weekend, and Paloma came home a sleepy, happy pup😊”

“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!”

She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”

“Finding a pet sitter you can trust is always up to chance, but I’m glad to say that Marizol is a consummate professional. She made sure our kitties were well taken care of, and sent lots of pictures and videos, which is always a nice bonus. She was also punctual, and very responsive, both qualities were also really appreciate. We will definitely be reaching out to Marizol again in the future, and do recommend her to any other cat owners like ourselves!”

“Madison took care of my cats again but this time there was another cat and for a week, and Madison went above and beyond per usual. I felt very at ease leaving my cats for so long in her care, knowing they would feel happy and safe with her. I was super relieved she was able to help us out! Thank you!!!”
“Kristen provided fantastic care to our 2 cats. She followed all of our instructions and kept them well fed, changed litter, and played with them. She also was able to administer medicine to one of our cats who had a medical condition. She put our minds at ease and kept us updated every day we were on vacation with a summary and photos. I highly recommend her. She has great care skills, and great communication skills.”

“Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.”

“We got our Dog two months ago, and Kelly was her first outside walker. Our dog has been apprehensive with strangers in the past, so we took a graduated approach, which Kelly (and Hershey) were very receptive to. We appreciated how Kelly was patient with Hershey and read her body language well, and over the three walks Hershey became increasingly comfortable. Would absolutely book again!”
“Morgan and Meaghan were great! They were very easy to work with. On top of that, they were very flexible with our last minute request. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good dog sitter.”

“Kristen has been phenomenal with our dogs! I was initially nervous about having a dog walker, but Kristen has communicated constantly letting us know everything that happened each day. She sends very detailed updates with lots of cute pictures. She also has gone above and beyond cleaning up when our puppy has accidents and taking both of our dogs on long walks. I feel good knowing that she takes such good care of my babies while I’m away at work.”
“Mengyao is a fantastic walker and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services. We booked her on short notice but even still, she was able to accommodate last minute, was highly communicative, and asked thoughtful questions in advance to make sure she was well equipped to handle my two dogs—one of which can be a difficult walker. On top of that, she put me at ease by sending many videos and photos throughout the walk, which was very much appreciated! We will definitely have Mengyao walk our dogs again.”

About: I've had dogs in my family since I was a child, continuing into adulthood. As an adult I raised and trained two dogs from puppyhood to senior citizens. I have experience with taking dogs to obedience classes, training them on recall and basic commands, and using positive reinforcement. Lots of experience with puppies and adolescent dogs. I have experience with rescues, fosters, and dogs with trauma histories and pick up dog body language fairly quickly. I know that you the owner know your dog best and as a pet parent myself make sure to respect preferences, notes on behaviors and routines, and make their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible, for them and you. I am fairly active in my day to day life, and love doing shorter and longer walks with dogs. I take mine to the dog park too, but understand that isn't for every dog, there are plenty of enrichment activities to do with them outside of public spaces. I am currently going to school and have a fairly flexible schedule to work in care throughout the week and my availability should be fairly routine. In/near my own home I have access to green spaces and a dog park. Plenty of space to walk a dog. At a clients home I would follow applicable routines and instructions regarding walks, enrichment, and socialization, which could include walk, dog park visit, or activities in the home.
About: I follow the guidelines of the owner. I am "present" (not distracted) with the dog. I am consistent and caring. I am very aware of the dog's behavior in the range of other pets and people, and adjust our path and pace accordingly. I am recently retired and my scheduled is flexible between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. unless I have scheduled time on the water to sail. Currently, I walked my neighbors dog. When I enter, I am careful to close the door immediately and take time to greet the dog (Mazie, female). I am attentive to details when putting on her harness for both security and comfort. While walking, I follow the instructions of the owner relative to the proximity of other dogs since Mazie is a rescue and can become agitated by other dogs. Maize heels very well for me while we walk and I believe she appreciates that I do not listen to music or use my phone while we walk. I converse with Mazie to ensure she feels companionship as well as experiences exercise.
About: I am a Boston nurse looking to spend some time caring for dogs on days off! My schedule is very flexible and open! I typically work 3 days a week so I have many days off!I am open to staying in house to care for the dog! I love walking dogs and helping with house training and play. I grew up with an adorable yellow lab and have helped many families in town with their pets as well. I absolutely love pets (cats and dogs), I love the outdoors and would be more than happy to take pets on several walks throughout the day! I am very trustworthy, responsible and reliable. I will always be on time and energetic to spend some time with your pet! I typically work 3 days a week so have plenty of availability. My schedule is flexible and with notice I am available for longer periods of time! I make sure to always keep dogs on a leash while out and about. Prior to sitting I make sure I have a good understanding of the animal.
“Alexandra has been so incredibly helpful in walking Linus a couple days a week for me! She keeps me updated at all times and Linus is very comfortable with her. I’m so grateful for her service!”
“Daisy took amazing care of our pup! She took her for daily walks while we were away. She was prompt, caring, and gave wonderful updates! Will definitely be using Daisy’s services again.”
About: I currently have 2 cats and I have had experience pet sitting a variety of pets (dogs, cats, birds). I have also fostered dogs including puppies. I’m looking forward to meeting your pets! **select weekday evenings available, please message details as needed! I am a current grad student pursuing my MPH. My calendar is always updated so feel free to send requests and we can figure out a time that works for both of us! I will always respond to messages as soon as I can and stay in communication as well:) I cannot board any animals at my own place but I am happy to come by and walk/spend some time playing with your pet! Please let me know if there is anything I need to be aware of or any house rules! Also for any dogs that I am taking out on walks please let me know ahead of time if they are okay greeting other dogs or if we should keep some distance for everyone’s safety:)
About: I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, bunnies, hens and roosters. I have never lived without caring for an animal! I love being outside, going for walks, playing and gardening. I am a mom of two school-aged boys and a proud owner of two tuxedo kitties whom we adopted nine years ago. I work part-time in the afternoons as an outdoor preschool art specialist. I am free between 9:30 am, and 1 pm everyday, and Wednesday and Thursday until 3 pm! I may also have early evenings free starting at the end of June. I have plenty of time in my schedule to help you care for your animals. Looking forward to meeting them! I am fun, gentle, playful and caring, and have a good instinct for what dogs and cats need. I can read body language and am sensitive to energy. I look forward to learning more about your pets from you, getting to know them and forging a relationship.
“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.”
