“Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!”
“We had the opportunity to go to Italy for 3 weeks leaving from Boston. We are not local here so looked at Rover to see if could find a sitter for our baby boy Bodee. Luckily I found Austin! He’s amazing, kind, trustworthy and great with Bo. He kept us updated daily with messages and photos. He took incredible care of Bodee even gave him a bath! Altho he was happy to see us I could tell he’d have no problem going to stay and play with Austin again! Thank you Austin for taking such great care of our boy. You are awesome and the pups in the MA area are lucky to have you as an option!”
“Melissa took great care of our dog while we were away for a wedding! Easy to communicate with, sent regular pictures and updates, and our pup came home nice and tired from all the fun!”
“I can’t express how grateful I am that we Kathleen. It was the perfect environment for my dog. She and her very nice family took such good care of him that he felt at home. She also sent us many updates and photos so I knew he was happy and safe. I highly recommend her and would rebook! Thank you so much to Kathleen and family because of your great care I didn’t have to worry about him at all!”
“Having moved recently to New Bedford, we didn´t have any close friends or relatives to leave our Lhasa Apso Johann with. We are so glad we came accross Taylor and Tyler on the Rover platform. They responded to my first contact almost immediately and were very attentive in getting back to me so we could arrange our meet and greet. They took care of Johann for 5 nights and would send me pictures daily and keep me posted. Johann adapted very well and we could see he was being well taken care of and having a fun time! We are so happy and thankful we now have a place to leave him when we next have to travel without him!”
“Kari was wonderful with Hazel. I could tell Hazel adjusted well and enjoyed her time with Kari and her family by the photos and updates Kari provided along the way. I would leave Hazel with Kari again knowing that she would be well cared for.”
“Winston was well cared for by Mike. Being with other dogs was a great experience for him. Mike was great with updates and photos. i would recommend Mike as a great dog sitter.”
“Tara was wonderful — we recommend her and would leave our dog in her care again. She communicated well and our dog was calm and happy when we picked her up after a two night stay.”
“Sunny took such good care of my dog & sent me lots of pictures during his stay! He had a great time & a lot of fun with Sammy & everyone else. I highly recommend Sunny for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Jennifer and Mark were extremely helpful and accommodating. They treated us with the utmost respect and kindness, always with my dog's care being the main focus. If you need to have someone watch your dog, you will be leaving them in very capable hands. It's evident that the care of their own dogs also extended to your dog. Highly, highly recommended!!”
“Alexia was amazing! She was super sweet and very accommodating. She plenty sent pictures and updates reassuring me that all was well while I was away. My dog came back to me very happy! I will definitely be booking again.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience. We needed a last minute sitter and they were responsive and accommodating. Our doc is skittish but they seemed to make him a part of their family while he was with them. And their dogs are so friendly and cute to pets and people alike. Janay and Antonio will be our fort choice pet sitting from now on!”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
“My dog Luna enjoyed her stay with Debra and her pack. I have a husky malamute and was very confident to leave her in Debra’s hands because she knows the breed so well, she even taught me a few things that I didn’t know. Her house is perfect for dogs to enjoy, with a huge fenced in yard, and access to outside with a doggy door. Luna formed part of the family, as she was able to be around the house, spend time with the family on the couch or doggy bed next to the couch, and again just be herself and part of the pack with the other lovely dogs. I knew from the minute we went to the meet and greet that this was right for her. I was actually afraid she didn’t want to come home after her stay! Debra was great in communicating and sent us great pictures and videos of Luna having fun. I’m so glad that I found Debra because I’ve found Luna’s second home away from home, rather than leaving her at the boarding place I used before which keeps the dogs in kennels most of the time. Thank you Debra and your pack!”
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”
“Best dog sitters I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Their pup is super calm and loved meeting our fur baby. They sent me updates every day with pictures, it was so wonderful knowing that she was safe, loved and made new friends while I had to be away. 10/10”

“Jenna was absolutely amazing and our cat immediately accepted her as a preferred visitor by rubbing up against her and purring! Jenna also sent great pictures and wrote detailed rover cards so we knew that our girl was well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Jenna again!”
“Amanda was wonderful. She took great care of our three cats. She made sure they always had food, fresh water, clean litter boxes, played with them, and gave them attention. She sent pictures every day. Would highly recommend her.”
“Jessica was PHENOMENAL with our kitties (who are, shall we say, a little quirky and very picky about their people)! They loved her and she took amazing care of them. This was our first time in two years leaving them for more than a weekend, so we were understandably a bit anxious about it, but her detailed communication and obvious love for them let us breathe so much more easily while we were away. Thank you!!!”
“We had Lynne watch our two cats while we were on vacation. She was great! She was reliable and took great care of our babies. Our shy cat warmed up to her and she even got him to play! We will definitely be using Lynne again. I would recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“Kristie is the best. We’ve hired her 3 times now (and have another planned) and I shudder to think what I’ll do if she’s not available. My cats are very wary of strangers. She seems to have charmed them. 😍”
“Angela & Adam had great professional holiday energy for my senior kitties. They sent thorough reports and great/festive pictures that made us laugh which helped my son cause he always misses our fur babies when we are out of town. It is so refreshing to meet folks who genuinely love animals and provide top notch care!”
“Kim was so wonderful! Our cat warmed up to her in no time, and was even willing to give her kisses on just her second visit! We will definitely be booking her again. :)”
“Anna was amazing!!! She was very quick to respond to emails and texts and took excellent care of our 2 cats. We will definitely request Anna to watch our cats during future vacations and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent caregiver for their pets”
“Colleen put my mind at ease! She took such good care and attention (and photos!) of my two cats while I was traveling abroad. She made my trip worry-free knowing they were being looked after so well.”
“I had such a great experience with Alyssa! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about my pets while I was away. I received updates and photos that gave me peace of mind, and my pets looked happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I got home. It’s obvious she genuinely love animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust Alyssa again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
“Sarah was on our puppy Beau's wavelength right away, and they had a great time together. She took great care of him while she was here, with his dinner, toys and snacks. I will definitely try to get Sarah to come back!”

“Austin was Amazing! He took Coco at the last minute and helped me through my first use of Rover. I appreciate him so much! He treated Coco so well and sent pictures during the day. Austin was very patient with puppy behaviors and was polite and respectful during our time with him. I felt safe leaving our puppy with Austin and would recommend him highly.”
“Kathy was amazing with our dog Jax. My baby girl was having surgery in Boston and she put my mind at ease taking great care of our pup. Sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day which made us super happy! Can’t wait to bring Jax back for another visit!”
“Rebeka is very sweet. Marshall was nervous going to a new place but she sat with him and cuddled with him, which is exactly what works. She was responsive and professional with all communication and we highly recommend her! Marshall had adjusted and was happy by the time we came to pick him up.”
About: Over 20 years of experience with pets- I trained my very first dog at only 10 years old! I grew up with a Great Pyrenees and am experienced with large / xl breeds. I absolutely love dogs and animals in general. I have two precious dogs of my own currently who I love more than anything. I’d be thrilled to care for your dog! I work remotely full time as a software engineer! Your pets are welcome to hang out with us for the day when you’re busy. Weekends I can provide even more active care since I have the days off. I have a fenced in yard but depending on your pets needs I can take them out on leash still. I let the dogs out to play frequently, every 2-4 hours.
About: Our mission is to offer people a simple, affordable option for boarding their pets: to keep them fed, safe and company while you're away. There's nothing worse than doubling the price of your vacation just to get your pets looked after! We keep our boarding price more than reasonable to give folks the financial bandwidth to spend their vacation money on their vacation--not on boarding their pets. We are both contract workers with flexible schedules, and Taylor is often able to work from home so your pets will have plenty of companionship! So we told you our mission-- There's a few ways this translates. We have a huge yard. So, we don't take your pups on walks. BUT. We play fetch, tug of war, and intentionally initiate zoomies. If your pup is conditioned to expect walks, it's probably most fair to find a sitter who'll get that walk in! We love a good daytime cuddle, but we also like a good night's rest. So, your pets sleep in the living room, helping us avoid chaos while we're getting shut-eye. We kindly ask that if you book with us, that you're confident your doggies can sleep out on their own without too much fuss! We have an array of options for creating ideal environments for your pets, with baby gates, a large yard that can be segmented for dogs needing smaller spaces or space from others, and multiple kennels. Coming soon, an electric fence with an extra collar for your pup if you'd like it!

About: Graduate Student & Lifelong Dog Lover 🐾 Hi, I’m Molly! I’m a graduate student in Early Education studying full-time remotely, and walking dogs helps me make ends meet while I gain classroom experience. I’ve been a dog owner and sitter for 20+ years, with experience caring for all breeds and ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I live with my friendly 1.5-year-old Basenji, Reggie, and we walk daily (rain or shine!). I’d love to find regular clients for early morning walks (4:30–6:30 AM) or after 2:30 PM, but I’m also available for same-day, one-off check-ins and walks when you need last-minute help. I’m responsible, active, and treat every pup like family. 🐶💛 Flexible & Reliable Pet Care – Full-Time Availability I offer part-time availability for pet care. Morning walks are part of our daily routine—typically between 5 AM and 8 AM and ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 miles. In the afternoon, I provide a potty break, followed by an evening walk of 0.5 to 1 mile. This schedule works well for my own dog, Reggie, and any pup we’re hosting. I'm available for the below between 3PM and 10PM Scheduled or short-notice dog walks Drop-in visits Daily or multiple-times-a-day walks Weekly routines or one-time services Short-notice check-ins (with a fair, convenience-based fee) Whether your dog needs regular walks, occasional visits, or last-minute help, I'm here to provide safe, loving, and dependable care. Safety-First, Thoughtful Pet Care in a Calm and Controlled Environment For every pet care job—whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home hosting—I approach each responsibility with a safety-first mindset. I begin by assessing the environment, checking for any potential hazards, and observing the dog's temperament, energy level, and overall health to ensure they’re set up for a positive experience. I come fully prepared with all the essentials: leashes, treats, food (if needed), cozy beds and blankets, separate water bowls, poop bags, and anything else your pup might need to feel safe and comfortable. I believe dogs thrive in calm, predictable environments. As the walker or sitter, I take the lead in maintaining a peaceful, structured atmosphere where your dog can feel secure, enjoy their time, and have fun—all while staying under steady and attentive supervision.

About: I have been caring for pets ever since I got my own to care for at a very young age. I have years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, including newborn kittens, energetic kittens and cats, and senior cats who all require extra attention, patience and love. I also have well-rounded experience caring for dogs. I have experience with mature and senior dogs, including boarding them, caring for, and walking. I have cared for energetic dogs to calmer dogs and always tailor my care toward their needs. I have dog walking experience on both trail walks and city walks and design appropriate routes depending on the dog’s ability and character. I understand the importance of routine, attentiveness, and gentle handling while caregiving and always follow instructions diligently. Over time, friends and family have relied on me to check in on, feed, play, pet sit, and board their pets for days or weeks while they were away, trusting me to keep their pets safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I currently work from home 3 days a week, only 2 days in office so I will have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets. I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays for check ins or walks. I am also available on weekends and most holidays for all services. I am very respectful of others homes. I will follow every detail and instruction I am given. I can stay in clients homes for boarding, walks, or check-ins. I can provide multiple updates or whatever the client desires. I am accepting of camera monitoring if desired to ensure trust and safety for clients. I have no children and only 1 cat in my house and live in very quiet neighborhood ensuring tranquility for pets to feel safe and comfortable in my home.

About: I've had all types of animals growing up. From small critters to dogs. Currently own 2 cats named Sasha and Coco, chickens and have 3 freshwater fish tanks. I've house/pet sit for friends over the years. I have pretty good flexibility everyday for short visits > 2 hours. I have two young children in school so depending on time frame one might have to accompany me but if not needed I can work around it. My cats are pretty self sufficient as cats are but they are fed every morning and evening and get treats. They are indoor cats aged 7 and 8. I feed fish daily and do water changes once a week as Maintenance. Chickens are a bit more daily maintenance with cleaning out coop everyday and filling water and feeder but it's rewarding (especially with getting eggs)

About: I've lived with animals all my life, cats, outdoor farm dogs, small indoor dogs, to pitties that need a warm blanket and cuddles during storms. I like to study animal behavior in my free time and really feel that I can understand animals of any size and shape. I pride myself on being someone reliable to contact on short notice for emergencies and things of the like! I have my own car to get around efficiently and I'm almost never busy. I will follow the rules of the home and any specifics for each pet, I run on THEIR schedule to keep them as comfortable as possible while their humans are away.
“Linda was amazing with our girl Luna. She was prompt to pick her up and took her to the park to play with her fur friends followed by a nice long walk. Luna was so happy and tired when she got back home, which was perfect for a nice relaxing afternoon. Thanks again Linda, we will book again soon.”
“I felt very confident when she was enthusiastic about setting up a quick meet and greet. She completed the walk despite a minor collar failure, and I appreciated her transparency with the situation. Professional, polite, and wonderful to work with!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15! I’ve had pets all my life growing up though! My neighbors, friends, and family, have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and give cuddles to their pups! I currently am working part time as I just started a new job, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup and get them some exercise! My home has a fenced in dog park that i’m sure your dog would love to run around in and get some energy out! If your dog is better on a leash and loves to walk and sniff around your area I am happy to do that as well! I just want to be able to give your pup a safe and happy visit 😊
“Tara has been great. She took my three dogs on a walk and then played with them. She takes good care especially of my 3-month old puppy. I feel like my dogs are safe with her and she’s extreme communicative! She’s really great and I will definitely use her again!”
“Anna has been walking my pup for a few weeks now. She came in on an emergency fill in basis and I was glad to ask her to stay on full time. Reliable and thorough with being on time and filling me in on all the details of the walk. She has a great eye with the camera too lol, I always look forward to my daily pictures. Who doesn't feel awful walking out the door in the morning to those eyes looking up at you, feels better when you know someone who cares will see them during the day.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 15! Dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and fish from all breads and ages, big or small. I take care in bathing, grooming, feeding, and walking!

I can keep to the schedule you give me for your companion! I can give baths, play, feeding, and go on walks. I take lots of pictures and will update you on how the walk/sitting is going frequently. I know every companion has their own personality and will take the time to get to know them to make their experience with sitters a comfortable one!
“Colleen is so good with our dogs. She is punctual and thoughtful. She does more than we ask - she treats them. I am so glad we found her. She is so pleasant has been great with our last minute needs.”
About: Dogs and cats are better company than humans most days! I would love to hang out with your animals and keep them company. I’m a college student who misses her animals at home so I’ll be happy to spend as much time with your animals as you need. I have two dogs and two cats at home, and have always had animals in my home. I’m pretty comfortable with cleaning up after potty training accidents. My aunt had four Great Danes so I have experience around big dogs. No dog is too big or small for me! My last dog lived to 18 so I have experience with old pups, and puppies also. My schedule is open. During the fall and winter, I will have less time. Weekdays, during the morning and afternoon are open! As the fall and winter progress, I will update my schedule since I will be going back to school. My partner and I are currently renovating our home so our house is not open for care. I would be more comfortable with walking your furbaby, or caring for them at your home once we have met!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life growing up, we had family dogs like beagles, goldendoodles, and a Shih Tzu. While living with my dad in New Bedford, I helped care for his pitbull and spent time with our goldendoodle, too. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs, including caring for a Chihuahua while my friend traveled. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and care. specialize in dog walking, cat care, and drop-in visits since I can’t host pets in my home. As a mom, I understand the importance of trust and routine, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own family. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat just needs feeding and some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I’m all about creating a calm, safe space where pets feel loved and relaxed. I have experience handling different pet personalities and making sure they feel at home , I treat every fur baby like family with lots of love, play, and attention to their routine and comfort.

“Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!”
“We had the opportunity to go to Italy for 3 weeks leaving from Boston. We are not local here so looked at Rover to see if could find a sitter for our baby boy Bodee. Luckily I found Austin! He’s amazing, kind, trustworthy and great with Bo. He kept us updated daily with messages and photos. He took incredible care of Bodee even gave him a bath! Altho he was happy to see us I could tell he’d have no problem going to stay and play with Austin again! Thank you Austin for taking such great care of our boy. You are awesome and the pups in the MA area are lucky to have you as an option!”
“Having moved recently to New Bedford, we didn´t have any close friends or relatives to leave our Lhasa Apso Johann with. We are so glad we came accross Taylor and Tyler on the Rover platform. They responded to my first contact almost immediately and were very attentive in getting back to me so we could arrange our meet and greet. They took care of Johann for 5 nights and would send me pictures daily and keep me posted. Johann adapted very well and we could see he was being well taken care of and having a fun time! We are so happy and thankful we now have a place to leave him when we next have to travel without him!”
“Kari was wonderful with Hazel. I could tell Hazel adjusted well and enjoyed her time with Kari and her family by the photos and updates Kari provided along the way. I would leave Hazel with Kari again knowing that she would be well cared for.”
“Winston was well cared for by Mike. Being with other dogs was a great experience for him. Mike was great with updates and photos. i would recommend Mike as a great dog sitter.”
“Sunny took such good care of my dog & sent me lots of pictures during his stay! He had a great time & a lot of fun with Sammy & everyone else. I highly recommend Sunny for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Alexia was amazing! She was super sweet and very accommodating. She plenty sent pictures and updates reassuring me that all was well while I was away. My dog came back to me very happy! I will definitely be booking again.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience. We needed a last minute sitter and they were responsive and accommodating. Our doc is skittish but they seemed to make him a part of their family while he was with them. And their dogs are so friendly and cute to pets and people alike. Janay and Antonio will be our fort choice pet sitting from now on!”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
“My dog Luna enjoyed her stay with Debra and her pack. I have a husky malamute and was very confident to leave her in Debra’s hands because she knows the breed so well, she even taught me a few things that I didn’t know. Her house is perfect for dogs to enjoy, with a huge fenced in yard, and access to outside with a doggy door. Luna formed part of the family, as she was able to be around the house, spend time with the family on the couch or doggy bed next to the couch, and again just be herself and part of the pack with the other lovely dogs. I knew from the minute we went to the meet and greet that this was right for her. I was actually afraid she didn’t want to come home after her stay! Debra was great in communicating and sent us great pictures and videos of Luna having fun. I’m so glad that I found Debra because I’ve found Luna’s second home away from home, rather than leaving her at the boarding place I used before which keeps the dogs in kennels most of the time. Thank you Debra and your pack!”
“Best dog sitters I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Their pup is super calm and loved meeting our fur baby. They sent me updates every day with pictures, it was so wonderful knowing that she was safe, loved and made new friends while I had to be away. 10/10”
“Marcia did an excellent job taking care of Tuka! I could tell he was very comfortable with her and her family both when I left him and picked him up. Loved all the pictures she sent! We will definitely use her again!”
“Kimberly is a outstanding dog sitter who took all my worries away while traveling for the first time without my pups! She messaged daily and shared so many photos. Extremely accommodating and you can tell she truly loves every animal she takes care of. Will always hire her for our dog sitting needs! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”
“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
