“Where do we begin...this was a hard choice when trying to find someone to watch our fur baby for 6 days. He got to know Barb and a visit to her home for a meet and great. Then another visit for half a day. He was in heaven. Barb sent photos throughout the day. He was in a good mood and not anxious at all. Then we left TicTac in her care for 6 days. So many pictures came to us. He definitely has made new friends and was cared for so well. I highly recommend Barb 🌟”
“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!”
“Oana and Oliver were absolutely amazing and we are so appreciative that they took such wonderful care of our Frenchie, Indi! This was the first time we were leaving Indi with someone other than friends or family and were a bit tentative of the thought of it. However, Oana and Oliver were so thorough and dedicated to knowing her routine and health issues that they put us entirely at ease. Indi had an absolute blast with them during her long weekend stay and they kept us updated by sending a ton of pictures of her, which was so appreciated. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the care that Oana and Oliver put into keeping your furry friend safe and sound. We would absolutely recommend them and will certainly be using them in the future to look after Indi!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.
“Thank you Hong and Yuen for being so kind and understanding of Brady’s health needs. Thank you for administering his medication and tolerating his skin issue. And thank you for communicating so well during his stay. I give you the highest recommendation! Michele”
“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”
“It was super easy to coordinate with Robert and Jen. First off, they asked good questions about Booster to ensure they were a good fit, which I really appreciate. They were also very communicative and sent lots of pics during his stay 🩷 He’s a senior pup on a couple meds so it’s hard not to worry about him but I’m thankful for their level of care and patience.”
“When we picked up our pup, you could tell her really enjoyed his time with Yulia and her family. He was happy to see us, but I'm pretty sure he would have been equally happy to stay with them. We will certainly be using Yulia's services again in the future.”
“Sean was very responsive and very flexible with our scheduling needs. It was a great location and environment for our dog Del and Sean took excellent care of her. We highly recommend booking with Sean.”
“Francois is exceedingly kind and good about checking in and letting me know how Sadie’s doing, always with a sweet photo. I know she is in highly competent and caring hands.”
“Jennifer did an excellent job in taking care of Chip! She was flexible in adjusting to my booking needs and very prompt in her responses. While caring for Chip she sent me lots of photos and updates. Would definitely hire her again!”
“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!”
“Lee and family were amazing with our dog! Great communication and he was very comfortable with them. We already have our next stay scheduled! Highly recommend. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“Betsy was a great sitter - very thorough and careful in getting to know my dog’s preferences and letting him see her very nice home and yard! Easy to communicate with and my pup seemed super happy :)”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“Our dog Lincoln had an amazing time with Stefan and his family. I was very nervous to leave him, as we recently moved to Arlington. I shouldn’t have worried at all! Stefan eased my mind by sending me pictures and updating me on what he was doing. After a day, I started thinking that Lincoln was on a vacation! He got love, he played with other dogs, got exercise, and at night was snuggled in bed. His stay exceeded my expectations, and I would leave Lincoln with them anytime. He had a great time. Thank you Stefan and family! I hope Lincoln can come back! ?❤️ And thank you for his little doggie bag!”
“Kira was excellent with communication and sent many updates with how Jasper was settling into his first stay. She was extra accommodating with a last minute request.”

“I had a great experience boarding my cat for a last minute weekend away. They made sure my cat was comfortable with a separate room (since he has dietary restrictions), equipped with a cat tree, bed, bowls, and litter box. They were able to administer his medications easily. Communication was consistent & I got photo and video updates throughout. I was able to have an anxiety free weekend and my cat got a vacation too! I will definitely book next time I need a sitter.”
“Angela was great! She was very responsive over messaging and took great care of our pet. She sent us plenty of photos so we could see how our cat was doing. Would recommend!”
“I could not be happier with the care of my kitties and the house! Thank you!! The most detailed updates I have ever received, she really got to know the cats and even won the trust of the shy one. Thank you!!”
“My cat loves Alyson and so do I! She took such great care checking in my 2 year old cat. She fed, cleaned, and played during the time I was away. She made sure everything was taken care. She was super communicative and easy to chat with while setting up details as well. Will rebook!”
“Thank you so much! Sunshine was so much less frazzled than he has been when I returned home; he was clearly pleased with the upgraded accommodations. Thank you!!”
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 💕
“Perfect just as expected! Flawless work, and Koshka and us are very grateful for Kathleen’s punctuality, responsibility, care and going an extra mile with no questions asked. Very much appreciated.”
“Kristina was wonderful! I needed a sitter fast, and in quick order, she met me at an initial consultation and provided terrific care for my Luma. I definitely recommend!!”
“Royce was absolutely exceptional! Our cats, Mo and Kip, absolutely loved her and she was able to quickly make our very shy cat, Mo, feel comfortable. She was also very responsive, sent great updates and photos and was flexible to come for an additional visit when our flight got cancelled. We would definitely recommend using Royce for your next week/weekend away!”
“My cat warmed up to her right away even though she can be shy with strangers! I got multiple pictures from every visit of her happy as a clam. She’s also a special needs cat so it was really comforting to see her so well taken care of!”
“Sandra has taken care of our cat a couple times now and has always done a great job. She’s very caring and our cat clearly really likes her too judging by all the pictures we received. Our last booking with Sandra was a longer one and we felt our little cat was in great hands and didn’t need to worry about her much at all.”
“We got detailed daily updates on the cats and Rilee was very communicative and consistent with timings of check ins. The cats were happy and healthy when we returned.”
“Michelle is amazing!! She looked after our two cats for a week and was so good to them. They can be anxious when we’re away and Michelle was very caring and attentive to their needs. She was also highly communicative from the moment we first got in touch and throughout our time away, sending us detailed updates and lots of pics and videos of the cats, so we never had to worry. She went out of her way to spend lots of time with them and take care of things around the house that we didn’t even ask her to! We really appreciate her doing such a thoughtful and thorough job, and look forward to hiring her again. Highly recommend!”
About: (she/her) I’m a relaxed and detail-oriented person who is excited to meet you and your pet! I love animals and will make sure yours gets the best care when you can’t be there. I have grown up around dogs most of my life, including two deaf and partially blind Aussies. Each pet has their own personality, habits (good and bad), and routines. I look forward to getting to know your pet and what you want to see for them each day to stay active, engaged, and healthy. I regularly dogsit for close friends for a week or more at a time and I’m well-attuned to local hazards to watch out for, such as the reactive dog in the neighborhood, salt on the sidewalks, and trash in the street. I do work a full-time job. While my schedule is hybrid and somewhat flexible to add in local walks or drop-in visits, my Rover profile is primarily set up for occasional weekend stays. I’m happy to coordinate with you on a case-by-case basis to figure out what works best for daily visits or a longer house stay. I have great attention to detail and am willing to learn each pet’s unique needs and routines. I have lived with and around many pets over the years and I understand the level of attention it takes to keep everyone safe, out of trouble, and happy.

“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.”
“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.”
“Rowley had a great day with Ismael and came home very tired from playing all day. Ismael was super easy to communicate with and very helpful (as this was our first Rover experience). Great all around.”
“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!”
“Betsy and David are super nice and their home very well kept. They have a solid process in place to welcome both dogs and humans and Maikoh was super well cared for and came back super happy! Thank you”
“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.”
“Cardinal had so much fun at his small-dog play date!! I appreciated that Betsy took time for a thoughtful meet and greet so that I was sure he would feel comfortable! I was very happy that he could enjoy time outside of his crate with other dogs in a warm and caring environment! Will definitely book again!!”
“Brianna was great! She dog-sat for Juno, our 8 year-old Bernedoodle, in our home for 10 days. She came by for a meet and greet a few days beforehand to get the lay of the land and meet Juno. Bri is a great communicator , which gave us comfort, as we were leaving our dog and house with someone we only recently met (albeit with excellent references). We got lots of pics and updates, and our home was immaculate upon our return. Very professional. Will hire again. Highly recommend!”
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.
“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!”

“Jess was great with our dog, Appa! He seemed to take to her right away and I know he appreciated the mid afternoon walk breaks while we were at work! She shared plenty of updates and photos from their walks!”
“Michelle was so nice and Cookie loves her. She was very accommodating and you could tell she knew what she was doing. I will definitely book again! Thanks Michelle!”
“Carol is very knowledgeable about dogs and has much experience taking care of them. She seems very comfortable with my large excitable Aurora. They had a good walk around the neighborhood and I plan to ask Carol for help again!”
“Anna was fantastic with my girl Honey! She’s kind, easy to communicate with & most of all made me feel extremely comfortable and confident my baby would be in great hands! I will absolutely be booking her again!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little kid. Rescues, pure breads, energetic & rambunctious, low key, nervous, happy, big and small, healthy, sick, I've been around them all! I work from home 90% of the time. There are occasions when I meet with clients in person or I need to spend a little time at my office, but the majority of the time I am working from the house. I take Remy and Holly to the park/on a hike twice a day unless it’s too hot. Remy grew up surrounded by new dogs everyday for the first 3 years of his life and over time he's met pretty much every kind of dog with every kind of personality so at this point he's a pro with being around new pups! Holly basically loves everyone!! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog that enjoys the company of all types of dogs. He lived with his Mum until October and she is a dog trainer who also boards and so he is completely use to new dogs of all breeds and sizes coming in daily!

About: I didn't grow with any family dogs. As an adult I wanted a dog but never got my own due to mainly being in per free apartments. A few years back I adopted my own dog and have been caring for him since. I would like to take care of needs of other fur babies which has led me to sign up with rover.

I have experience walking and caring for my dog. On multiple occasions I have also taken care of my friend's dogs either by letting them out when my friends have some longer hour commitments or walking them.

I make sure to follow any directions you leave behind. I only let dogs off leash in fenced in areas, and even then only with the owners permission. I make sure dogs and cats are safely indoors before I leave - and crate them if that is requested.
