We were nervous to leave our puppy at such a young age - especially with someone we didn't know - but Caroline put us right at ease as soon as we met her! She sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend and treated her just like her own. We could tell she is quite experienced and loves animals. Thank you, Caroline!!”

“Dayna and Pat were so great with my little guy. Not only were they extremely accommodating but they took the time to acclimate my pups with their adorable dogs. Being a first leaving him with someone I didn't know very well, I left him feeling like he was going to be loved and taken well care of. I was absolutely right and would ask them again to watch my pups. They sent photos of my happy guy every day which made me feel so much better being away from him. The big hearts they have really made me comfortable and pleased with the experience.”
“Kristine is amazing! She’s boarded our dog multiple times now and she does the best job! She is always communicative and sends tons of photos daily, which gives such great peace of mind that our dog is happy and having a great time while we’re away. She takes such great care of him, talking him on walks all over the city. Our dog loves staying with her and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Kim responded very quickly and was able to take Lola in the same day as I requested. She was also kind enough to cancel and partially refund us for having to cut our stay short because of an emergency. A whirlwind of 24 hours, but I will definitely be reaching out again when needed, thank you!”
“Logan and her dog Gus were wonderful with my golden. Logan has a natural confidence and calm presence that the dogs respond to immediately — they listen to her and clearly feel comfortable around her.

Emily made sure Buckbeak felt at home and comfortable at her place and Buckbeak got along so well with her cutest little Luna.

Thanks so much for being an awesome host, Emily!”

“Ainsley was absolutely amazing. She was willing to change to 2 visits a day at short notice when our cat needed to have antibiotics while we were away, and she managed to give her liquid medicine, which is no small feat! We were so impressed with her communication and professionalism, and if she'll have us, we'll definitely book with her again!”

Overall, I couldn’t recommend her enough and I will continue to rebook with Aislinn.”
“Rachel watched our cat Moon for three days while we were gone for a wedding. She did an amazing job taking care of him. Moon is a very social cat and she went above and beyond in keeping him company and entertained. Every day she sent detailed updates and really put us at ease while we were away. We hope to have her watch him again in the future :)”

“She is an amazing sitter! She gave frequent updates throughout the day, and really appreciated that she went above and beyond by sending a lot of pictures. Also, I really appreciate her flexibility. If you’re in Boston, highly recommend her as your pet sitter. Go Greta (and Juniper)! 🫶✨”
“My dog Wally had a great time with Alexandra and her dog! Alexandra took great care of him, sent lots of pictures, and was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend Olivia! She took great care of my dog, Jack. :-) Very Reliable, caring, and easy to communicate with. Jack looked so happy in all the pictures and he even got to go on a picnic!”
“Jim is extremely responsive and flexible and made me feel at ease. My dog primarily has spent every day with me during the pandemic so it is sometimes hard when we separate. He kept me updated with my dog’s day and sent a video for check-in. Thanks Jim!”
“Tiffany and Steve were awesome! They were incredibly communicative and patient with us as we navigated getting our first dog and starting daycare for the first time. Their attention to detail and care for each pup they watch is so nice to see, our Bear is usually quite shy but warmed up to them so quickly! We look forward to working with them again. :)”
“Haley did a great job hosting Marzie, our 8.5 month old puppy, for her first Rover experience. We did a meet & greet a week prior so Marzie was familiar with Haley, which made her comfortable at drop off. Haley was waiting for our 6:30 am arrival and entertained Marzie for 9 hours - sunbathing, walks and playing inside. She was communicative when Marzie didn’t eat her breakfast (normal for her) and made sure she was well taken care of. We would definitely go back to Haley again and recommend her to anyone who needs doggy daycare!”
“I had an excellent experience with our Jayden. She was available to help my dog and I during a snow storm and I had to go to work! My dog Jack was well cared for and she helped to ease my mind! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. My dog made himself right at home with her and cried when he was dropped off which means he missed her already and had a great time! I really appreciate the updates and peace of mind knowing my dog is in safe, attentive hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
“I had a great experience with daycare/dog-sitting at her residence. I booked with Elizabeth very last minute and she was gracious enough to accommodate my request! Her yard was perfect for my dog who enjoys being outdoors.”
“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!”
“Emily and Robbie were great! Really responsive, sent a lot of photos, really made my dog feel comfortable and at home. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Joseph is a great dog sitter! He really speaks “dog” and knows how to take care of your pup’s specific needs. Highly recommend him as a reliable pup sitter! Thank you Joseph”
“Karina and her puppy Luca were amazing puppy sitting my 4 month old doxie named Winston. I got updates throughout the day with photos and comments. I think Winston may have also learned some manners from Luca. Will definitely be coming back!”
“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!”
About: I grew up with dogs and trained my yorkie from puppyhood, so I understand how to build good habits and create a calm, friendly environment for dogs. With a background in animal science and behavioral neuroscience. I’m patient and attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs. also lots of play and walk! I can only care for dogs under 25lbs due to my apartment size, my own dog’s size, and my physique. This is to ensure your baby has enough room to play and safe to walk around with me. I am working remotely on Wednesday and Friday. My work is flexible and usually very chill on these days. I bring my own dog to dog parks and meet his dog friends throughout the day during these two days. On weekends, i bring my own dog to nearby big parks, hiking trails, beaches, and lake and I will make sure to do that with your dog too. Playtime guaranteed! I live in a small apartment in a large complex with a courtyard and rooftop green spaces, and I’m also close to two neighborhood parks and a fenced dog park where I take my own dog—a friendly 4-year-old Yorkie—every day. Dogs staying with me get regular walks, attention, and a calm environment; they’re welcome to sleep on the bed if they like, but I’m also completely comfortable following crate routines if that’s what they’re used to. I have worked with animals in the past and have experience in administering medications orally or through sub-q/ip injections.
About: I have had pets in my house for as long as I can remember. Cats, dogs, a bunny, hamsters, geckos, fish, and guinea pigs. I even fostered multiple cats/kittens at a time. I love all the little quirks every dog has and no specific needs are off limits. I also have experience administering meds to dogs and cats. I want the animals to feel love and comfort while with me! I treat animals like family :) I am currently looking for a part time job (hopefully rover!), so my schedule might change. But as of now I am free 7 days a week and any time. I have no pets in my place currently. But I can give your dog walks/potty breaks at any time of the day. The pets are allowed on the couch and in bed if they wanted but if you prefer to bring their crate that’s ok too!
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.

“Jenica is a fantastic dog caretaker! She took our German Shepherd Justin for a nice 60-minute walk today while we were out of town. She was completely professional with strong communication, provided timely updates and even stopped by earlier in the week for a meet and greet. I highly recommend leaving your dog in such good hands!”
“Katie was prompt, communicated very well, took great care of Nellie and even made sure she wasn’t out in the heat too long. Would book again and highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. From medium sized dogs to small dogs. All dogs I’ve ever had and been around have always been drawn to me. I’m currently working full time and work from home during Mondays, Fridays being able to have my own schedule. I am also free on weekends. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your dog and will be respectful of your space when coming in and out to let out or dog and walk them.
About: I’m a life-long dog lover and have owned a dog as well as cared for family and friends’ dogs. I love dogs of any kind and would love to meet yours! I work mostly remote so I have flexibility to check in on your pet during work hours. I also love walking and being outside so caring for dogs fits my lifestyle! I am flexible to drop in and check on your dog as well as take them for longer walks! Looking forward to meeting your dog!
“Madison is an amazing dog walker. The dogs liked her immediately and responded to her energetic personality in a very positive manner. She is extremely responsive and helpful. Highly recommend Madison!”
“Julio was fantastic! He was prompt, incredibly responsive, and our dog loved him. As a bonus, one of our scheduled walks was on a pretty rainy evening and he showed up with an umbrella and a smile. Would definitely book with him again!”
“Cassidy was amazing! Was so helpful, even with my last minute requests. Made sure the dogs were well taken care of. As someone who has never left her dogs with anyone besides family, I felt comfortable and relieved to have someone trust worthy like Cassidy to help me out and take care of my pups! Thank you, Cassidy!”
“Julie was amazing. Excellent communication and promptness. I can tell she took great care of Nellie. Provided plenty of pictures and kept me updated along the way. Would book again!”
About: I grew up with dogs that loved to play. I am a full believer in positive reward style training and bonding to create trust (crate training, potty training, etc). In the world of pet-sitting, some dogs need specialized attention to details and extra care/protection compared to their counterparts, but they can be just as loving and empathetic. My wife and I will make sure they're in an environment where they feel safe and nurtured while living their best life! Priority is for everyone to feel happy, comfortable, and safe. My wife and I alternate working remote from home to working in office, so we will coordinate one of us to be looking after your dog at our home while we work during the day. If preferable, we can also look after your dog in your home/housesit depending on location. We have a small shared fenced condo yard as well as easy walking distance to the local dog park near L Street Beach, and Joe Moakley park. My wife and I enjoy leisurely walks along Carson to M-street beach as well as to Castle Island. We will enjoy walking your dog as we love fresh air and the beach!
About: Unfortunately a dog in not in the cards for me, as I am in the office a few days a week. With that being said, I absolutely love dogs and wish I could have one myself. I will care for your dog with love and respect! I work from home 1-2 days during the week with a very flexible schedule. I have the capacity to do/go where your dog needs, (bathroom breaks, walks, etc.) I cared for my animals with love and I will do the same for you! Walks, playtime, rest, etc. I love having the companion of a dog around me.
“Nyla absolutely loves her walks/adventure time with David! She also has opportunities to socialize with other dogs in a regular basis which is so very important to me to her overall well being. I appreciate David’s understanding of this and ensuring that Nylas needs and her little personality are recognized and appreciated. He has also,(more than once) been flexible in taking Nyla on last minute occasions if needed. He is also very prompt in responding communication wise.”
About: Feel free to request me outside of my availability. Will say yes if I can! Love dogs and going on walks during the day to get out of the office. Good to walk around the city or go to a local park and play ball. Experience with dogs since childhood and has owned dog. Owner of a puppy until senior death. I am currently working Monday - Friday full time along with another part time job. Looking to get out of the office and be a part of a dogs life again without owning one (my apt doesn’t allow them). Cannot keep pets in my apartment. More than happy to go to your home. Please leave notes for best/preferred care for animal if needed :)
“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!”
“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.”
About: Saying goodbye to my 15-year-old rescue last year was a true heartbreak, but it helped me realize that spending time with furry friends is healing. As many people say, “Grief is love with no place to go.” I’m looking for some dogs and cats to channel that love towards. I grew up around animals and started pet-sitting/dog walking in middle school, so I’m comfortable with all walks of animal life. As I’ve done with previous clients, I’ll love and care for your pet as my own❤️ I’m available for morning/mid-morning walks before 10:30am on Tuesdays and before 12pm on Thursdays. I’m super flexible on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! We will make it work! Your furry friend would be getting all my love and attention while we are together! I do not have any pets, so yours would be my sole focus.
“Liz is not only so sweet to our pups, she is beyond communicative, making sure to keep us updated about their daily walks, especially our senior girl who has a tough time walking. We can always count on her to take good care of our pups! Would recommend any day!”
