“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“Tyler and his gf are really responsible and nice. Meimei and Jackson had a really good time. I think they miss Tyler and his gf already. We will definitely chose Tyler again!!”
“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”
“Dakota and Jax had a great stay with Jing! I felt happy and confident knowing they were having a great time through getting pictures sent throughout the day of the doggies playing. She has a great yard for the dogs to play in and set up a meet and greet before so they dogs could meet her and her husband!”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Zwany is super nice and easy to work with. She is communicative and follows all instructions. Her goal is the best for your pups and she always accomplishes that goal. She also sends all toys and materials you send with your pup back cleaner then they started which is so nice after a trip, one less thing to worry about!”
“Julie is the best!! I was in a tough spot with a flight delay and she was so kind and accommodating helping to drop off my dog and checked in to make sure we got back okay to take care of Willow that that night. I’m sure Willow would have loved if the flight was delayed even more so she could spend more time with Julie because her life seemed full of adventures and love all week. Huge thanks to Julie would definitely love to have her watch willow again!”
“Second time booking and very satisfied! They are great with ginger and she loves staying with them. Loved the creative updates! Thank you for taking care of ginger”

“Krystal and William did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Broadie! From the start, they were professional, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. They provided plenty of updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Broadie looked happy and well-cared for in every update, and it was clear he was getting lots of love and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Krystal and William to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”

“Danya took great care of our dog Pippi. She came over beforehand to make sure she knew all about our pup, who had some restrictions due to a medical condition. While we were away Danya sent updates, including photos, which really helped set our minds at ease. Our dog came home happy at the end of our weekend, and when we recently brought her back for a second stay she eagerly bounded up the stairs to Danya's apartment - a sign of a great previous visit!”
“Joseph was awesome! He communicated well and sundae seemed to have a good time with him. He’s also super friendly and flexible which was great for us as our travel schedule ended up changing.”
“Elizabeth & Rodrigo always treat Gator as part of their family and I cannot express enough how much that helps my anxiety being away from him. I never worry about him knowing that he’s being loved & cared for! They always send plenty of updates and truly are the sweetest family. Gator & I are their biggest fans!!!”

“I highly recommend Karina as a cat sitter! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind.

“Erin took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. It was clear from the updates that she was genuinely thoughtful and attentive, and we always felt like Mapo was in great hands. Erin was incredibly responsive, communicative, and caring throughout the entire stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!!”
“Samantha has been amazing. From our initial meet and greet to multiple visits with my kitten, she has been thoroughly communicative, polite, and professional. She has great attention to detail and went above and beyond in providing updates. She even put the cat food away neater than I had left it for her. As a first time pet parent, I felt very comforted that my cat was in kind and safe hands. Beyond feeding, I mainly wanted a companion for my kitten as she is young, and Samantha played with all her favorite toys with her. I’d trust her with anyone’s pet, and I can’t wait to use her services again. Thank you Samantha!”
“Katherine was a wonderful cat sitter for our cat Kazi. Her kindness and caring was very apparent and she sent lots of helpful updates and pictures which were so appreciated. We highly recommend Katherine and look forward to hiring her again!”
“Our pets are never really happy when we are away (particularly now that they're used to us being home 24/7) but they were in excellent hands. Catherine is responsive and took good care of my little menagerie over the holiday weekend. We will definitely use her services again when we go out of town next.”
“Absolutely wonderful job! Kyle was very communicative, patient, and kind to our two kitties. Specifically, our girl Luna is incredibly shy, and usually stays under the bed whenever someone other than me or my partner is present; but with Kyle, she came right out and was curious and friendly. Kyle was definitely the right choice :)”
“We had just moved to Boston and needed a needed a dog-sitter on short notice for our Great Dane pup, Gordon, and David crushed it! He is super-patient and confident with our big boy and expertly communicative. David will always be our “go to!””

About: My name is Dave, A mobile gym for the dogs, and make sure they get more than enough exercise. Generally I do group sessions with pups and have them socialize/play. Although I do 1 on 1 sessions as well! I love dogs, cats, and all animals. I grew up with a half black lab half rottweiler. I'll treat your animals as if they were my own. My availability is open during most weeks. Please contact me with any other question you may have. I’m currently working weekends and have open availability during the week between 10am-6pm. I’ll have plenty of time during the day to take animals on walks to local parks. After going over with the pet owners on their animal/s behaviors, I follow their guidelines on how to take care of the pet/s best. Going on walks, playing in parks, or just keeping the animals company in home.
“This was my first time using Rover. Tiffany and Steve were SO GOOD and patient at explaining things and offering tips and enrichment suggestions. Their insights were really helpful — especially as I’m only two months into having my rescue. It’s clear they’re very knowledgeable about animal behavior and really care about your pet and your relationship with your pet. For context, after a meet and great, my dog Feta did one day of daycare to make sure the situation works for boarding. This should make any other pet owner feel good knowing that Tiffany and Steve assess the dogs in their care to make sure the situation is good for all. Highly recommend!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Sophia — a lifelong animal lover and trusted pet care partner. Growing up in a home with three (or more!) dogs at a time, I’ve always had a deep bond with animals. Friends and family used to call me Dr. Dolittle because animals naturally gravitate toward me — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve been the go-to sitter for years, caring for dogs big and small, energetic and elderly. I work remotely, so your pup gets constant companionship, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m just steps from the beach and local parks for daily walks and adventures. Being trusted with someone’s pet isn’t something I take lightly — I take real pride in being reliable, responsive, and loving. Whether it’s a weekend stay or daily drop-ins, I’m here to give your dog the same level of care and comfort they get at home. Let’s give your pup a tail-wagging good time — and give you total peace of mind! I work remotely, which means your dog gets plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m just steps from a beach and park — perfect for walks, fetch, and sniffing adventures. Can do scheduled drop ins at your house, daily walks or board in-home. I provide personalized, attentive care whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, calm environment with plenty of love and supervision. I work remotely, so they’re rarely alone, and we stick to their usual routines as closely as possible. Pets are always free to relax where they’re most comfortable — whether that’s on the couch, their bed, or my lap! In a client’s home, I aim to be a seamless extension of your routine. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding and potty breaks to medications and playtime. I always respect your space and strive to leave your home just as I found it — or better. No matter the setting, my focus is on keeping pets safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets and has volunteered with animal shelters since childhood. As a former dog mom to my late min pin, I’m experienced with managing anxious or reactive dogs, oral medications, food allergies, and other special needs. I adore all pets, but have a soft spot for seniors and little guys. 🐕 I’m conveniently located between Back Bay & South End and WFH full-time. I work from home full-time and can provide a high and personalized level of care and attention to your animal during the week or on weekends! I take care of every animal as if they were my own and follow owner instructions to a tee. In my home, I have stairs if an animal needs assistance getting on the bed or couch and have a crate that comfortably fits medium sized dogs or smaller. I do live up several flights of stairs, so please let me know if your pet would need to be carried down for walks.

“Highly recommend Lindsey and Matthew, they watched my dog Jack over the weekend and were great. Jack got in plenty of walks and even got to make a new friend with their very friendly dog! I will be reaching out again!”
About: I have watched and cared for friends/family members dogs many times (including overnights). My roommate in college was allowed to have a dog on campus so I would always help her as if it were my own dog. I love having the company of a dog especially now that I work remote and am very active so would enjoy bringing them on multiple walks. The backyard of my apartment is also pretty big and pet friendly. I am working full time mostly remote. I’m required to go in person certain days but I can do half days and leave at lunch as my office is very close to my apartment to be able to walk and be with the dogs. Would love to have a dog on the weekends when I am in town to keep me busy too. I have a yard in the back of my apartment that is big and pet friendly I am also right next to a park and lots of walkable, safe streets.

About: I have three years of dedicated dog-sitting experience, providing dependable in-home care for dogs while their owners were away. I regularly commuted to clients’ homes, followed their established routines, took them on walks throughout the day, provided meals and fresh water, and made sure all of their individual needs were met. In addition to my formal experience, I have frequently cared for dogs belonging to friends, neighbors, and family members. I’m comfortable providing attentive, patient, and reliable care for dogs with a variety of routines and personalities. I’m doing some part-time classes on Monday and Tuesday in the afternoon so I have a pretty open weekly schedule. I am also be open to weekend work as well! I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs and clients homes and I always try to leave the Home looking a little bit cleaner than how it looked when I arrived. I’m very clean and conscious of little and big things like locking up the house when I take the dogs out. I love making sure that the dogs are happy and comfortable around me whether they wanna play and walk a lot or they just wanna chill out, I am happy with whatever makes them happy!
About: Dogs have been a part of my family my entire life so I am a huge dog lover. So much so that I took on the role of caring for my family’s senior Jack Russell at the end of her life. I also work as a nurse, and although it’s not quite the same as caring for pets, I have a true passion for taking care of others. I currently work as an oncology nurse in Boston with a schedule of 3 shifts per week, which often leaves me with multiple days off during the week perfect for drop ins, or day time pet sitting and sometimes long stretches of time off, perfect for boarding! I would treat them as if they were my own! I live in an apartment with no pets so they would have the whole place to themselves and my undivided attention. I also live near many parks that I’d be more than happy to take your pet to!
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats throughout my life. I am a huge animal person. My family always has said I have a special bond with animals they always love me! I’d love to watch your pets during my time off! I am very consistent, timely and respectful. I am currently not working as I am searching for a job after graduating from my masters program! So I have lots of time on my hands. I’ll give your pet lots of love and care. I will listen to any reccomendations or specifications from their parents to best support and comfort them on their days alone.
About: I was always the neighborhood dog walker growing up, and had a personal garage door opener for everyone on my street! My family and I raised and trained a dog for America’s Vet Dogs, and I am newly an Aunt (my sister now has a long haired dachshund named Liesel) I work full time, but Mondays and Fridays I work from home and am very flexible! I am free most weekends, and am on Rover to make some extra cash, go for walks, and help people out in my community. I have a fenced backyard and 2 dog-loving roommates. Whatever works for you and your pet, let me know. I’m flexible with going to yours, them staying here, or just giving them some excercise and sunshine.

Maja was great with communication and sending pictures daily!”
