“I contacted Jing last-minute for an overnight stay. She was super-responsive, and during the stay she sent me photos and updates. My dog Bobo seemed happy and got plenty of time out in the yard with her pooches. I would definitely send him there again if she is available!”
“We've used Rover sitters many times, and Yick-hong is one of the best! He clearly loves dogs and was great with our four-year old beagle Ruthie. He took her for a variety of walks, gave her doggie puzzles to solve, and snuggled with her on the couch. He sent us photos and videos two or three times a day. Will definitely call on him again to take care of our pooch.”
“We were very satisfied with Beckett's stay with Robert A. and his wife. Beckett was well taken care of, and they updated us and sent photos daily. We will not hesitate to leave Beckett with them again. He clearly had a fun time!”
“Kira and her family are the best at taking care of our pup. we have been using her for close to a year, and we continue to leverage her because we know they are trustworthy and great. We get ≥daily photo updates, and our pup always comes back happy too. cannot recommend them enough!”
“Thank you Alex so much for taking care of Moab during July 4th weekend. Alex accommodated short notice boarding and very flexible with pickup/drop off time. Tons of update pictures he sent throughout the days. No issues with the stay whatsoever. I trust Alex caring for my senior dog. I will definitely use Alex next time when I’m out of town. No doubt!”
“Tomoe was FANTASTIC! Extremely nice, and welcoming personality. Felt comfortable immediately after our meet & greet session. She gave lots of updates with texts, pictures, and videos the entire weekend I was out of town. 100% recommend to anyone looking for Rover care. Bravo! 👏🏻”
“Eric lived up to his very positive reviews: sensitive to our (very few) concerns, sending daily updates and photos, easy to communicate with--in short, everything one would hope for. His dog Snickers was an extra bonus.”
“Yi was fantastic. Had great communication and could tell she really cared for our dog. We have a very nervous high energy dog and Yi made him and us feel incredibly comfortable. Consistent pictures and our dog loved hers. Would 100% book with Yi again and recommend t anyone.”
“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Sara was great. I had an emergency and needed a sitter earlier than we had planned. She readily agreed to take Abby for the extra days before and after the original booking. As usual, Abby was happy and treated like the princess she knows she is!”
“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😊”
“Copper seemed to enjoy his stay very much with Yulia and her family. Every picture she sent us showed a happy, well-cared for pup! Yulia was concerned with Copper being comfortable and happy during his stay, which we definitely think he was.”
“Kristina was great with my 3 month old puppy. This was the first time I boarded her so I was nervous. But all my fears went away quickly. Her dog was great with my puppy and I received several photos and videos during her stay. Will be using again!”
“Cindy was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bear! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which we really appreciated. Throughout his stay, she sent daily updates with photos and videos so we always knew how he was doing, and she responded quickly to all of my messages. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and spent lots of time giving him attention and snuggles. Bear was very well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will definitely be reaching out to Cindy again in the future and would highly recommend both her and her brother to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Pumpkin had a nice stay at at Francois's home for 4 days. I received a picture from Francois once a day after each walk. He followed the feeding and med instruction I provided. Pumpkin was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I'd recommend Francois to anyone looking for a responsible dog sitter!”

“Clare was wonderful with my 2 cats. She followed the instructions well and gave thorough reports (and pictures!) from her check-ins. My cats don’t usually warm up to a new caretaker right away but seemed to really like her. I also appreciate that she came over ahead of time to meet them and review their care instructions. I would definitely book Clare again in the future.”
“Ari, thanks so much for taking care of Winnie over Labor Day weekend! He looked well fed and happy. And I loved seeing your photos of your visits with him. Thanks for everything!”
“We'll be booking with Jordan again! She gave our cat Z her full attention and care beyond just the basics. Z can be feisty and demands independence but also values social time and connection. Jordan spent quality time with Z, playing with her and giving her pets and snuggles within Z's boundaries. After a couple days Z started standing watch awaiting Jordan's arrival. That's how we know that Z was well loved!”
“Sandra took great care of our cat Miffy while we were on vacation for a week. Miffy got a lots of pets and her daily updates definitely put our minds at ease. We came home and she looks very happy. Would definitely go with her next time we are out of town!”
“Carol is an amazing petsitter who really cares about the pets under her care, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who asked. Our cat, Tigger, had a medical emergency while we were away, and Carol went above and beyond in getting him immediate medical care as well as keeping us informed throughout.”
“I recently hired Kathleen to look after my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! Kathleen was kind, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. She followed all of my instruction perfectly and provided updates during her daily visits, which helped put my mind at ease. Kathleen ensured my cats felt comfortable and cared for— they warmed up to her quickly!. My cats were happy and healthy when I returned from my trip. I would highly recommend Kathleen!”
“Claudia has checked in on our cat many times since over the past year or so and our cat loves her! She is easy to communicate with and gives detailed updates on kitty during her check-ins. Thank you Claudia! :)”
“Did a great job making sure our three cats were taken care of and fed while we were away! Would definitely recommend her if you need help with your fur babies and we would definitely rebook her services in the future if she is available!”
“Great cat sitter. Nadine was highly reliable and was able to care for our elderly cat. She made it a breeze to train her on the cat's med schedule and quirky nature. Highly recommend.”
“Stephanie is caring and attentive as ever and is now best friends with our demanding kitty. He was pampered with brushing and play time. She is a great sitter and our kitty is lucky to have to Stephanie take care of him.”
“Leanne remains the absolute best sitter for my cat! Poe is a shy boy and he adores Leanne. She is so thoughtful and caring and it's a joy to work with her. Highly recommend!”
“Amber was awesome! She was very responsive, super kind, and our cat, Bodhi, was relaxed and happy when we returned from our vacation. We will definitely be asking her to come again in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of Bodhi, Amber!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Waban
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“I’ve known Junho and his adorable dog Boki since Boki was just a tiny three-month-old puppy, back when we first met in our apartment building. Over the years, I’ve seen how much care Junho gives to Boki, and how gentle and kind he is with other dogs he meets on their walks. When Junho started Rover, I knew right away that I could trust him with T-Rex. My dog requires extra care and attention due to specific conditions, and Junho followed all of my instructions thoroughly. He even sent me multiple photos and updates without me having to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Junho. He’s easy to work with, and his wonderful dog Boki will make a great companion for yours. Boki is super friendly and loves to play, but also knows how to give space if another dog isn’t in the mood.”
“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!”
“Ismael takes such great care of my dog. He’s been a last-minute lifesaver. He and his family will welcome your pooch into their home and treat them like royalty. Highest possible rating I can give him!”
“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”
“Shuhua (Cindy) took great care of our dog Sesame! Our dog has separation anxiety, and Cindy was very communicative, thoughtful, considerate, and friendly! She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and created a great space for Sesame to feel calm while we were away. Will definitely book again!”
“Yi W. Was very responsive and took great care of Duke. She was also very open to my guidance about Duke’s needs and routine. She sent regular updates and photos. I recommend her and will take Duke back to her.”
About: As a work-from-home mom who grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and birds, I miss having animals around! Our home is currently pet-free, so I am looking for furry friends to break up my workday with cuddles and exercise. Once school is out, my three kids (ages 12, 10, and 10) are always ready to jump in for backyard play and high-energy fun. I offer attentive drop-in visits and walks in the Newton area and we ready to welcome your pet into our family for walks, play, and endless cuddles. As a work-from-home parent with a very flexible schedule, I can offer your pup the attention and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday sunshine break for some Vitamin D or a cozy spot by my desk while I work, your dog will never be lonely. In the afternoons, my kids love joining in for our neighborhood walks, making it a fun, social experience for any pup who enjoys a little extra energy and play! Your dog’s safety is my absolute priority! We live in a spacious first-floor condo in a quiet Newton neighborhood, which makes for quick and easy access to the outdoors—no stairs or elevators to navigate! We live in a pet free house, so your fur baby will get the attention they deserve. We have a large backyard where your pup can enjoy supervised playtime and stretch their legs throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am physically present at all times. When my kids join us for afternoon walks or play sessions, I am always 100% hands-on and supervising to ensure every interaction is gentle and safe for both the dog and the children. Our home is a calm, smoke-free environment where your pet will be treated like a member of the family. I am happy to follow any specific safety protocols or feeding routines you have to keep your pup’s schedule consistent and stress-free.
“Eric is very flexible and easy to communicate with. Beautiful home and yard for pups to play all day.I like that he does have over some other well behaved pups so that mine can socialize. Would trust him with my babies anytime. I get daily updates and photos which are greatly appreciated.”
“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: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've grown up with dogs of all sizes, from energetic Huskies and Labs to smaller breeds like Havanese, so I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I'm experienced caring for multiple pets at once and am confident managing busy households. While babysitting, I've often cared for children and dogs together, which has taught me how to stay organized, attentive, and calm in any situation. I’ve helped care for my mom's Husky with two torn ACLs, giving me experience with pets who need extra patience, gentle handling, and special attention. I'm comfortable administering medications, treating ear infections, and following detailed care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. I've also lived with cats throughout college, where my roommate had two cats, and I'm now the go-to pet sitter for both of my brothers' two-cat households. I'm just as comfortable caring for cats as I am with dogs. I'm an active person who does long walks everyday and I'd love to have a furry friend join me for walks and adventures. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule. I work remotely on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. On Mondays and Thursdays, when I'm in the office, I'm available for early morning and evening walks or visits. My weekends are wide open, so I have plenty of time for longer walks, overnight stays, and lots of quality time with your pets! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special care instructions. During walks, I stay alert, keep dogs securely leashed, and avoid unsafe situations or extreme weather. At home, I make sure pets have a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and provide care that's tailored to their individual needs.
“I highly recommend Lee...the immediate level of comfort Atlas had as well as myself with Lee and his dog Sharif... The meet and greet went great with others as well... Atlas was in very goods hands and I would no problem booking with Lee in the future... Thankyou Lee”
“Tomoe was fantastic. Really went above and beyond to help my dog adjust to a new environment as this was my dog’s first visit to her house. Great communication throughout the day with updates on how things were going with lot of pics as well. Highly recommend Tomoe!”
“Super compassionate and felt entirely safe leaving our little pup with Allie! She was very responsive, accommodating and flexible. She spoiled him with treats and he came back exhausted after having the best time. Thank you!”
“Yulia and her family are caring and considerate. Sheila, their 8 year old corgie was very cute and friendly too! Peppercorn loved staying with her and playing with her elementary school aged children.”

“Julia was great! Totally reliable, pleasant and kind. Our dog can be wary around new people, but he warmed up to her just about instantly. She knows how to work with “nervous” mutts. I’ll definitely request her again if I need a dog walker.”
“As always, Traci had a fun week with Pablo. I so value her communication skills, dependability, good nature, and love of animals. Pablo and I look forward to next time!”
About: I grew up with goldendoodles. My first was a full sized, about 80 pounds. I’m used to handling big or small dogs. Now I am a cat dad for a senior cat (over 20 years old). I am seeking part time employment. I am available throughout the workday for walks, check-ins and anything else your pet might need. I am also available on weekends. I am able to provide services in your home. I cannot board without disturbing my own cat. I am gentle with animals and attentive to their needs. I am detailed oriented and happy to give your pet the special attention it needs.
“Chuck walked my dog Wally for me for five days when I was in the hospital and did an excellent job. He was patient and friendly and wrote adorable little notes updating how each walk went. He took really cute photos of wally each day and varied the route, often walking longer than we even asked for and taking interesting paths around the neighborhood rather than the boring round the block walks! Thanks for the help and professionalism Chuck!!”
“Five stars doesn’t feel like enough- I highly recommend Charlie! My dog’s excitement level goes through the roof when I say Charlie’s name. Charlie’s responsible, caring, fun, and shows a genuine love in caring for animals. I feel a real sense of comfort having such a kind and attentive sitter for my dog! I’m truly grateful!”
“Claudia was great! I highly recommend her for dog-walking. She was prompt, friendly, and clearly very good with dogs. She took careful notes on all of Milo’s needs and preferences the first time we met, making me feel very at ease. Thanks, Claudia!”
“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”
“We’ve been working with Eliza for about a month now, and have nothing but positive things to say! She’s incredibly responsive, reliable, and kind. It’s so wonderful to know Oakley is being taken care of when I am not around.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family over the last 5 years. Responsible for 1-2 dogs at a time of all sizes 15-75lbs + cats. I’ve done walking, feeding, and over night stays up to a 10 days. Currently Hybrid work schedule which offers lots of flexibility to dog walk/sit. Most availability is from Friday-Monday. I go into the office located in Stoughton Tuesday-Thursday from 8-5pm and cannot provide afternoon drop ins on those days. I have experience caring for dogs in their own home (current apartment does not allow me to have dogs). I am clean and respectful and will follow alol instructions given.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs from young pups through dogs in their final years, as well as cats of various ages. I grew up with 1-2 dogs in our household at all times, several bunnies for which I was the primary caregiver as a kid and teenager, and frequent interactions with my friends’ cats. I am a responsible oldest daughter and love meeting and caring for animals!! I work in an elementary school, so once the school year starts I will be away from the house from approximately 7am to 4pm each week day (depending on where the house is located). I have a lot of availability on weekends and more daytime availability during the summer and school breaks, including over winter vacation. I always follow the pet parents’ instructions closely because they know their pets best. I treat all pets with care and love. In particular, with dogs, I enjoy taking them on long walks if they are up for it. While pet sitting, I make sure to spend time with the pets while I am not at work (not coming back simply for their care routine).
About: Hi! I am excited to meet your pets! I have had animals my whole life and have a special loving bond with all animals! I have done pet sitting and work in shelters for a number of years. Pet care is my daily responsibilities with my own pets at home. I volunteer at shelters but would love to make your pets part of my day! I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and animal needs. I understand the importance of understanding each animal and their needs! I approach each animal slowly and calmly to help comfort them as we get to know each other.
“Scout had a great first week with Aaron - she seemed happy with the walks and very comfortable with him. From the human side, he's a good and responsive communicator, and responsible around scheduling and closing up the house. He clearly loves dogs and has a good way with them. Thumbs up!”
“Sunny is fabulous with animals. Our Austrailian Cattle Dog is not the easiest of breeds and he formed a rappore with her very quickly. Sunny is also responsive, responsibile, and a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of my relatives' dogs for as long as I can remember, I have a ton of experience with dogs and have grown up with them my whole life. I would love to be able to do the same for other families as a college student while at Boston College! My parents take care of my dog while I am at school but when I am home I love to take my dog for walks, play with her, and frequently give her baths for my parents. I have a fenced in yard with a pool but I would be going to clients homes, not keeping any pets at mine as I am at school.
About: I've been doing pet care since I was 8 and have lots of experience with animals of all ages and personalities. Typical animal care from me looks like refilling food and water, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and finding creative ways to keep your animals thoroughly entertained. This summer I'm taking online college classes so my schedule is super flexible. The only set times I'll be busy doing virtual classes are from 11:00-4:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please let me know what times work for you. I will always make sure to keep your dogs on leashes when not in fenced in areas to ensure your pup's safety is accounted for.

“Sean is reliable, easy to work with, and a true dog lover. My dog can be difficult with other dogs and a dominant personality, but seems to have no trouble at Sean’s. He recognizes the place now and is excited to go inside and play with his buddies. I highly recommend Sean’s services if you need boarding and pet sitting.”

“Steven was phenomenal. He sent us daily updates and photos, and it was clear Carly felt completely at home. She came back happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Truly an exceptional experience.”
About: Hi there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My priority is always your pup’s comfort, safety, and routine. I’m confident managing different walking gear (standard harnesses, gentle leaders, and training collars), maintaining strict on-leash safety, and reading canine body language to keep outings calm and stress-free. Whether your dog is a high-energy explorer who loves long sniff walks or a laid-back couch potato who just wants steady company and belly rubs, I tailor every day to their specific pace. You can always expect prompt communication, detailed visit notes, and plenty of photo updates so you know your best friend is having a great time! We keep very flexible daily routines, meaning someone is almost always around the house to keep your pup company, give belly rubs, and handle regular potty breaks. When we're out doing walks or drop-ins, our schedule is planned carefully so your dog gets timely care, fresh water, and never has to wait on meals. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. For boarding, our apartment is calm and completely pet-free—a great low-stress spot for dogs who like having all the human attention to themselves! On house sits and visits, we treat your home with total care and follow your pup's routine to the letter. Outside, we keep dogs securely on-leash at all times, give unfamiliar dogs plenty of space, and send lots of cute photo updates so you always know how they're doing.
“Joe was so great with our German Shepard, River! She is not the easiest of dogs and has a LOT of energy and Joe handled her for 6 days with ease. He sent us regular updates and pictures often! We would highly recommend him && we will be using him again”
