They are thoughtful and communicative. We are grateful and don’t take for granted that our pup has a safe and happy home away from home.”
“Gomer had a great time staying with Holly and having River as a play/house mate! Gomer was exhausted when we got home and I could tell he had fun staying for one night at Holly's. I so appreciated how Holly kept me updated on Gomer, was extremely responsive and overall, a pleasure to meet. I definitely plan to call Holly again for Gomercare!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Robert and family while they cared for our dog for six days. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. They sent us lots of updates and photos every day, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. Bruno looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for in every picture—and he seemed to have a really good time during his stay. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave him and would absolutely book with them again!”
“Julie was a great sitter all around! She offered a meet and greet beforehand which I really appreciated. Louie was immediately comfortable with her and her home. Julie's home was a perfect fit for us because it’s one level and she has a fenced”
“Tomoe was so great! She is very thorough in her updates to know your pup is well taken care of. I’m always very nervous about having someone watch my dog because of his reactivity but it is very clear she knows what she is doing and follows the instructions provided! So glad I found a sitter I can trust!”

I would absolutely have her take care of my little ones any day!”
“Julie was amazing! She sent us pictures of Pepés adventures and told us about all the fun things they did. It was like a luxury vacation for pepé, he loved it. We will be return customers!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life, growing up with two of my own furry friends. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of fostering about 12 litters of kittens and 6 adult cats with several rescue organizations in the cities I’ve lived in. I have experienced shy cats, playful kittens, or special needs feline friends. I’m familiar with medication routines, litter box care, feeding schedules, and helping cats feel safe settling into new place. Family, friends, and rescue groups have always trusted me for my care, and I’m thrilled to start servicing local cat parents in my community!

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter.”
“Our cat Nell loves Claudia! Claudia agreed to stop in and check in on Nell a week before our trip, pretty much at the last minute and we are so grateful. She is easy to communicate with and takes great care of Nell.”

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%.
“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!”
“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.”
“Shuhua took very good care of my dog pepper while I was moving apartments. My chi was instantly in love with Shuhua and you can tell that she cares about your pets too. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“It was a simple partial-day visit but our dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we picked them up. It was our first time using a dog sitter and we appreciated that Ismael sent great pictures of them interacting with the other dogs so that we wouldn't worry. We now feel comfortable with the 4-day stay we've arranged for next weekend, which will be our first overnight stay.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Sean is very attentive to our dog's needs and Bailey loves staying in his home. We have always used Sean for daycare when visiting the Boston area and he gives us great peace of mind knowing Bailey is having a fun day too. We highly recommend Sean as your sitter!”
“We are so happy we found Jenny! Our dog Uli loves going to her house. Jenny takes such good care of him, sends us lots of pictures and videos and treats him like her own. We would absolutely recommend Jenny to anyone!”
About: I've cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments since childhood. I'm comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and behavioral needs. Neighbors and friends trust me with their most beloved companions. I provide attentive, personalized care and regular photo updates to keep owners connected. I work from home, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I have flexibility throughout the day for dog walks, feeding sessions, and playtime. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or afternoon play, I can accommodate your schedule and your dog's needs. My work from home setup means consistent, reliable care without gap. My home is a safe, welcoming space for dogs. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play and exercise safely. I'm experienced managing multiple dogs with different personalities and energy levels. All dogs in my care are supervised closely, with access to water, rest areas, and outdoor time. I maintain a calm, secure environment and follow each owner's specific instructions for feeding, medication, and behavior. Your dog will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own pets.
“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!”
“My 12 week old puppy had so much fun! Came home exhausted and covered in dirt haha. Andrea sent pictures and updates and was very good with communicating.”
“Rachel was wonderful with Paisley! Rachel sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the day to keep us updated on all the fun they were having! Would definitely recommend Rachel in the future!”

“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”
About: I have two dogs, so I understand the love, patience, and attention each dog needs. I'm experienced with energetic puppies and older dogs who need a gentler pace. I’m reliable and active, and I always make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and cared for. I'm working a 9–5 internship Monday through Thursday, but I’m available for dog walking or pet sitting in the evenings, especially on weekends, when I have the most flexibility. I’d love to help care for your pup whenever I can! I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and loving environment—whether in my home or yours. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for at all times.

About: I’ve been around dogs for over a decade—starting with my family dog and now as the owner of a rescue dog of my own. Most of my experience has been with smaller dogs (25 lbs or less), but I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I regularly walk my dog around Newton and Cold Spring Park, and I’m familiar with local dog parks (both fenced and off-leash). I prioritize safe, attentive walks and make sure each dog gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering oral medication, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle care. As a Rover user myself, I know how important trust and communication are. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care. I’m a great fit for busy working professionals and families who need reliable, thoughtful support, as well as for senior dogs or lower-energy pets who benefit from a calm, consistent environment. To ensure the highest level of attention and comfort, I care for one dog or cat at a time. I work from home most days, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for drop-in visits or walks around lunchtime, and again in the late afternoon and evening after the kids are done with school or camp. I enjoy building time into my day to give pets the attention, consistency, and care they need—and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I approach pet care with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and trust. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, or favorite activities. I’m attentive on walks (leash safety, awareness of surroundings) and make sure pets are secure at all times. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and supervised environment. I’m mindful of creating a safe space and ensuring pets feel at ease. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Along with growing up with two dogs and helping to raise a puppy as a teenager, family friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats since I was ten. I've worked with all types of dogs, from Shih Tzus to Pit Bull mixes. I'm the one in my family who takes the dogs out on long hikes (or for short walks around the block once they get older), brushes their teeth and fur, gives them baths, and trims their nails. I'm a regular volunteer at cat shelters in cat care, and as a student on the pre-veterinary track, I have shadowed and volunteered at vet clinics to better understand the care that goes into your pets' health. Besides dogs and cats, I also have experience with a myriad of animals, such as hamsters, rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, mice, fish, hermit crabs, geckos, snakes, tortoises, and turtles. I have experience in preparing special diets for pets and other animals with specific health needs, and in senior dog care. I'm a college student, so I fit bookings around my classes and workload. My classes start at 8 am on weekdays, so my general availability is as follows: Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Available after 11:30 am Tuesday: Available after 6 pm Thursday: Heavier on classes, but I may be able to do a quick drop-in in the morning/evening if needed Weekends: Unavailable 8-10 am Saturdays, otherwise available As a lover of all creatures, I take the safety of both pets and wildlife seriously. As such, I will always supervise pets that are outside in yards and keep them on leashes outside fenced-off areas so they are not a danger to others or themselves. If transporting pets in my car, I will keep them safe and secure in a carrier/crate. As a college student who has shared living spaces with new people before, I understand the importance of respecting others' belongings and boundaries. During drop-in visits, I will be sure to respect your home and any rules you may have for your comfort (i.e. no shoes in the house, specific dishes/silverware for pets only, general cleanliness, etc.).
“Caroline is great! Super friendly and very flexible. My schedule is a little crazy and she’s been very easy to work with. My dog has been very well taken care of and I highly recommend!”
“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”
“Claudia is our routine sitter once a week but truly came through this week when we had extra needs. Claudia is prompt, organized, thoughtful and kind. Our boys love when she comes to walk them. She goes above and beyond for our boys.”
“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!”
“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!!”
About: I love all furry friends - I have a lovely cat, and I enjoy taking care of my friends’ puppies short or long terms. Taking them to long walks is my favorite part! I work on a flexible schedule, so I’m available on most weekday mornings or afternoons. I’d be ou-of-town on some weekends so pls let me know what’s your schedule like if pup needs walks on weekends! I have leashes (non-retractable) for small and medium dogs. I’m confident keeping pups of these sizes safe from traffic / other animals all the time. It’ll definitely be a plus if your pup know some commands!
About: Hi there, my name is Jose and I am so excited to meet you and your dog. I have cared for and looked after my own dogs as well as the dogs of friends and neighbors for most of my life. Your dog will be begging to stay with me because I strive to understand the needs of each dog on an individual basis and give 100% effort to make sure those needs are met. I love dogs and I love learning as much as I can about them. I constantly study and learn new things about dog behavior and implement them when possible using positive reinforcement methods. I have handled dogs of all sizes, breeds and energy levels. I love dogs because of their boundless enthusiasm and love for even the simplest of things. Your dog will love me because I give tons of attention, playtime and belly rubs! You can rest assured that I will treat your dog like if it was my own! I don't just love dogs, but enjoy spending time with all animals. I've cared for cats, domestic birds like Parrots and Canaries, turtles, rabbits, fish and even horses! Animals fascinate me and I definitely describe myself as an animal lover. So if you have other creatures that need care from someone experienced, I can help you with them too! I'd love to meet you and your dog to discuss your individual needs. Let's set up a meet and greet so we can learn more about each other!
“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.

“Leanne stopped by twice a day during a busy weekend to take care of my dog Freddie. She showed such warmth and love to him from the very start!

Thank you, Leanne!”

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!

I have experience working with super energetic dogs and reactive dogs and love training! I am home for the summer, and I am available all day, because I am working from home! My schedule is very flexible so let me know what works best for you :). Safety is always my number one priority. I have lots of experience reading animal behavior.

I will always keep dogs on leash, and keep water and treats with me. Will send updates and picture/videos too!
“Alan and Ying took wonderful care of Ripley during his four-night stay. They were very thoughtful in their approach to make him feel comfortable and at home. Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.”
