“Zelun took fantastic care of our dog for over a week during Thanksgiving! Our dog usually takes a few days to perk up and get used to her new situation, but she settled in after the first night!

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!”

Stephanie was very proactive and responsive in her communications, she kept the cat happy and helped with watering the plants and keeping his litter clean. A 5 star review for a 5 star cat caretaker!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old. With the 16 years of experience with cats, I believe that you can tell a lot about a person by their cats personality. Like with every pet parent, I strive for the best with my cat. If you choose me to watch your cat, I will provide the best and safest environment for them. Do they need a room to themselves? You got it. Has explosive diarrhea? I have cleaning supplies. Medical issues? Another way to keep me on my toes. I hope you consider me as a prospective aunt to your kitter cat and can’t wait to fill up my camera role with adorable pictures. I look forward to hearing from you 💕
“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!”

“Anna was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our two kitties. She also was kind enough to bring in any packages on our porch. I really appreciated the photos and updates along the way. We'll definitely turn to Anna for our future trips :) Thank you so much!!!”
“Great experience with Michelle. She is very communicative, positive and adaptable. Really felt like our cat was in safe ands while we were away. Much appreciated!”
About: Hi! I’m Dylan, and I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, especially cats. I have cared for the cats of friends and family over the years, and I’ve also have two cats of my own. I also used to volunteer at the Cat Connection in Brighton, MA a few years ago. I know that every cat has their own personality — some want constant attention, while others prefer to do their own thing — and I’m happy to respect whatever makes them comfortable. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each cat’s individual routine and needs. Whether your cat loves playing, getting lots of cuddles, chasing toys, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company and give them the attention they’re looking for. I also understand that cats can be sensitive to changes in their environment and routines. My goal is to make visits as comfortable and stress-free as possible by keeping their normal routine, giving them plenty of affection (when they want it!), and making sure they have everything they need while you’re away. I’ll treat your cat like they’re my own and make sure you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐱💕
About: I’ve lived with cats my entire adult life, so I understand their independence and body-language. I’m detail-oriented and committed to following your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, litter, medication, or any special needs your cat may have.
“Royce always goes above and beyond for our boys. During this trip, our cats popped their auqamat leaving water all over our carpet. Royce promptly let us know and took it upon herself to clean up the puddle. We are very grateful for such a great sitter!”

“Sean is amazing ! Very responsive as I was looking for a dog sitter, and just perfect with my dog: taking him on hikes and runs, giving lots of love. Maïkoh took to him immediately ☺️”
“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.”
“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.”
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”
“Ismael and his wife are so amazing with Felix. My pup literally jumps into their arms when he sees them, such a great feeling! He comes home tired which is also a nice perk 😊”
“Daisy had a great day with Stef! Stef met with us in advance to meet Daisy and learn about her daily routine and requirements. She made it very easy to drop Daisy off and pick her up and also sent a few pictures during the day. Stef took her out for three walks, one of them was a car ride away from Stef's home which was an adventure for Daisy. It was almost hard to get Daisy into the car as she didn't want to leave. Daisy was so tired that night and into the next day, but was very happy. We are looking forward to having Stef take care of her again!”
“I usually book Michelle for walks, but I needed someone to watch my dog for the day while I dealt with doctor stuff. I don't drive, so it was amazing that she could pick him up for me. She arrived on time and was very communicative, took lots of photos and loved on my dog plenty, walking him and throwing toys. I am so happy with the service I got today.”
“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!”
“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: My strength lies in my deep love for dogs and my genuine dedication to their well-being. I provide attentive and affectionate care, ensuring each dog feels loved and comfortable in my presence I am available Monday to Thursday from 5 to 8 PM I am also available Friday, from 5 to 11 PM & I am available anytime Saturday & Sunday. When I drop by to check on the dogs, I make sure they're safe, happy, and fed. I keep the owners posted and aim to keep those tails wagging!
About: I have a 3 year pup named Bowie and I grew up with dogs my whole life. I will love and spoil your furbaby as if they were my own. NOTE: my profile says I have 2 dogs but I only have 1. I watch my Mom’s dog a lot so I have her under my account as a customer of the services :) I’m currently out of work so I have an open schedule to focus on your pup. Bowie would love a playmate to zoom around with! I have a big complex and a little gated dog run on-site. I also have a big deck I gate off during the warmer months for patrolling. I have a 6 foot lead for extra security if needed. Bowie roams around the deck and takes in the sun or says hello to fellow friends when they walk by on the mini trails.
About: I have had dogs almost my entire life. I have been pet sitting on dog vacay and rover for the last several years , before my dog Dora passed away two years when she was 14 years of age. I stopped pet sitting , and was grieving for a while. I am now ready to get back to dog sitting , and want to experience joy of pets again, even if on a temporary basis. I have two children , 8 and 4, and they have been exposed to dogs and cats until recently . We want to have a chance to play with doggies again, and love them! At the moment I am unemployed, and home with my 4 year old. A dog would easily fit in our daily routine, as the dog parents require. I live in a condo association, on the third floor. I do not have a yard, but I will be able to walk your doggie.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was in preschool. They’re my favorite furry buddies in the whole world! I have experience caring for my dogs, not only providing them love but attention as well. One of my dogs had diabetes and needed daily insulin shots and to be let outside regularly. My care of him gave me some additional caretaker skills! I have a dog right now and I have to look after her daily. Whether it’s feeding her, giving her kisses, or taking her for a walk, my day consists of providing attention for my pet! I am always vigilant when it comes to my pet. I watch my dog and pay attention to her cues, making sure that all of her needs are met. I also closely watch out for other dogs and their interaction with mine. By having a dog, I’ve been able to read body language really well, which allows me to remove my pet from a potentially dangerous situation.

“Michelle was so responsive, prompt, and thorough with Benny. Most importantly, she was caring and compassionate with with my recently blinded dog. Thank you, Michelle!”
About: I am a 28 year old dog lover who has had dogs my whole life! I have had multiple bichons as a kid and have spent a ton of time with a variety of family friends breeds! I have trained our dogs growing up with my family and spent a lot of time walking and keeping them busy throwing the ball around as my mom was a writer. I joined Rover to help save up for my September 2027 wedding and are hoping to help out some families with their pets while getting some exercise! Thanks so much for considering! I am an accountant who works 8-5. My break (when I would walk or drop in) is from 12-1. I would also do so before & after work. I have lots of experience with pets and am happy to safely care for your pet however you specify! We crate our pets at night, our yard is fenced in, ETC,
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. Over the summer, I work at my internships in animal care for much of the work day, but that leaves afternoons, evenings, and early mornings for me to check in on your pets and give any care they need (breakfast/dinner, walks, baths, etc.). Over the school year, I will have more hours available to fit in more time with your pets (i.e. walking and bathing/grooming, more playtime, etc.). 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.).
About: Hi, my name is Meghan! I have loved animals my entire life and have always been the person who stops to say hello to every dog, cat, and animal I meet (while always respecting their boundaries). My love for animals started as a child when I spent my school years reading every animal book I could find and watching every animal movie and documentary I could. That lifelong passion has grown into a career caring for pets and learning what makes each animal unique. I have over 4 years of professional animal care experience, beginning in dog daycare in 2022 and currently working as a Veterinary Assistant in an emergency veterinary setting. Through my experience, I have cared for dogs and cats of many ages, breeds, personalities, and needs from playful puppies and kittens to adult pets and senior companions. At home, I care for my own pets, including Thor, my 12 year old Chihuahua mix, Xena, my 8 year old Lab/Hound mix, and Sage, my 11 year old cat. Caring for my own pets has taught me the importance of patience, routine, understanding body language, and recognizing that every animal communicates differently. My experience includes: • Puppy, kitten, adult, and senior pet care • Medication administration (oral medications, eye drops, and injections) • Diabetic pet care and pets with medical needs • Understanding animal body language and stress signals • Providing enrichment, playtime, exercise, and individualized attention • Helping pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment I understand that pets are family, and leaving them with someone new can feel stressful. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. Every pet has their own personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and comfort level. I take the time to learn what makes your pet happy and what helps them feel secure. You can expect clear communication, updates, and plenty of photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment, or simply relaxing in their favorite spot, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. I am currently an online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. Whether I'm providing drop in visits, dog walks, or house sitting, I make it a priority to follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I always make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before every booking. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines carefully while respecting your home and your pet's space. With my professional experience in dog daycare and as a Veterinary Assistant, I understand animal body language and recognize signs of stress or discomfort. I use positive, patient handling and never force interactions, allowing pets to become comfortable at their own pace. You can also expect regular updates and plenty of photos throughout each visit or stay, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have years of experience dog sitting large breed puppies and senior dogs. I am comfortable administering medication to animals. Additionally, I have significant experience caring for service dogs. I am a recent graduate with an abundance of free time, particularly over the summer. Other than the infrequent trip, I am available 7 days a week for pet care! I treat your home with the upmost respect, leaving as clean or cleaner than when I arrived. Additionally, I value your privacy and will maintain professionalism at all times.
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Dylan, and I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. I’ve cared for the pets of friends and family over the years, so I’m comfortable around different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve also had pets of my own, including a dog, and I’d love to have a dog of my own again someday. Until then, I’m excited to give your pets plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care! I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual routine. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means a long walk, some playtime, keeping them company, or simply giving them a quiet place to relax, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule while I’m searching for a job, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and spending time with pets. I’m able to work pet care into my weekly routine while giving each pet the attention they deserve. Once I start a new job, I’ll make sure my availability stays up to date and only take bookings I can fully commit to. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences their pet has. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I’m also happy to spend extra time playing, giving cuddles, or simply keeping a pet company if that’s what they enjoy. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and let them set the pace. Most importantly, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I grew up with a variety of different pets; dogs, cats, fish, etc. I also rode horses and volunteered at my local humane society from the age of eight. I love animals of all kinds and am currently working on my wildlife rehabilitation certification. I have an active lifestyle and am at my happiest immersing myself in nature in rain or shine. I have two cats of my own and frequently care for my friends' and family members fur-babies. I look forward to getting to know yours also! I am a freelance violinist and violin teacher, so my schedule is self-built and fairly flexible! A lot of my work is individual practice (I even have a special mute that I attach to my instrument which dampens the violin sound for the more sensitive pet ears.) I am an active person and love to go on walks, trail hikes and runs with an animal companion, ideally a couple times a day. I have a station wagon with a dog-friendly back hatch so I can drive reasonable distances with your pet, to parks or to the vet in an emergency. Since I grew up with animals in my family, it is second nature for me to incorporate animals' daily needs into my schedule and I do not consider it a burden. I am a neat, respectful and handy person. If I am invited into your home, I will treat it with the utmost respect and ensure that your household routines and expectations are consistently met. I am flexible and will be happy to adapt to a schedule that fits the needs of you and your pet in a non-disruptive way. Your pet will be in safe hands, and I will communicate with you as frequently as you wish, sending updates and pictures on request or at a pre-determined frequency that suits you.
“Royce is a wonderful conscientious dog walker who genuinely cares about my Baz. He’s had medical issues lately and she’s been so flexible & observant with him, really helpful tending and adjusting to his needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 13, taking her out for walks, parks, and appointments. We love going on strolls just as much as cuddling on the couch! I have also had cats for the past 18 years so I can also navigate relationships between the two. I work 3 days or night a week as a nurse so I have ample days off with lots of opportunity to walk dogs. And even on the days I do work I have time before or after if needed. I love to greet my dog with lots of care and love. I often feed her treats and am constantly chatting to her to make her feel included!
About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life and adore them. I’m detail-oriented and take instructions seriously. Whether it’s your dog’s specific feeding schedule, medication, or quirks, I’ve got you covered. I’m currently on vacation, so I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I have a car as well so I can travel. In your home, I follow your routines and instructions exactly. Feeding schedules, medication, walks, and any specific rules you have. I make sure your pet’s environment stays , safe, and consistent with what they’re used to.
“Jon is responsive, reliable, kind, and professional. He is great about letting us know when he’s on his way, his ETA, and then gives us a heads up before he knocks on the door. My dog is extremely anxious, and this has been challenging; Jon has been so accommodating, open to trying anything to get her to trust him, and clearly cares about her.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have had dogs of my own, along with 10+ years of experience dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and love getting them outside for a good walk, giving them some playtime and attention, or simply keeping them company during a drop-in visit. I’m reliable, active, and will treat your pup like my own! I have lots of availability over the next month before I start work, so I’m able to be pretty flexible with walks and drop-in visits! I’d love to fill my extra time with some furry friends and can work around your pup’s usual schedule and routine. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll follow any instructions you leave for me, make sure they’re secure when coming and going, and give them lots of attention, playtime, and love.

“From the moment I left my dog, I felt completely comfortable my pet would be taken care of. Robert is friendly, knowledgable and communicated with me very well throughout my pets stay. I requested Robert's services in the middle of the night and he quickly responded at 7am, very accommodating and helpful. Robert's home is very dog friendly.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 6 years and have grown up with two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand the love, patience, and attention pets deserve. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk dogs, feed pets, provide companionship, administer medications and care for them while they’re away. I also work with children every day as a lifeguard and swim instructor, so I’m patient, responsible, and comfortable caring for those who depend on me. As a certified lifeguard and swim instructor, I’m calm under pressure, safety-focused, and dependable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I currently work at The Codman Pool in Lincoln, MA in the mornings until about 1:00 PM. These hours are flexible and I could even come for a walk, if close by, during this time. My time is flexible and I’ll be easy to work with or without schedules for walks, visits, or anything else needed. I currently have a dog and cat of my own. They get along great and my cat is pretty relaxed while my dog requires a bit more energy. I have a family with other animal lovers so dogs and cats are a huge part of our lives.
“Mayra was very lovely to work with and was SUPER flexible and accommodating. I was kind of a pain in the butt given all my schedule changes 😂. But she was more than happy to accommodate with watching Kira. Took a load of stress off knowing my pup was in good hands and i didnt have to worry. She also provided tons of pictures and kept me up to date on how she was doing. Definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“My dog was so excited to go back to Todd’s for an overnight stay. He had the best time whenever he goes there, gets plenty of walks, lots of attention, and comes home such a happy camper. Todd is a trusted sitter for us and I will continue to book with him whenever I need somewhere for my dog to stay!”
