“Zelun and his wife took AMAZING care of my dog while I was gone for over a week! They sent pictures and videos, took him on a little day trip (pre approved) and definitely loved my pup as their own while I was away :)”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo took amazing care of our dog while we were away for 6 days. He’s getting older and can be a little anxious, but he was totally comfortable in their home. They sent us tons of photos too, which we loved since we missed him. I’d absolutely recommend them as dog sitters.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Michiko and Cliff were great. They sent me pictures and updates every day and took great care of Henry! They were very easy to communicate with. I would definitely book with them again!”
“I am very happy for the service provided by Yulia. My malti-poo dog has been given very good care by Yulia and her very nice/friendly family. I will request Julia for dog care service in next time again. Thanks Yulia!”
“Guillermo was absolutely amazing with our dog, Lola. He took such great care of her and kept us constantly updated with messages and photos, which really put us at ease while we were away. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Guillermo made the whole experience completely stress free. We could tell Lola was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. We’re so grateful for his attentiveness and kindness, and we would 100% trust him with Lola again. Highly recommend!”
“Alex is the best! My dog has been sick and Alex took good care of her and was attentive. My dog was on meds & she made sure she took her pills. Strongly recommend Alex!”
“This hasn’t been the first time Paul has watched our pup. Every time, we know our dog is in good hands - Paul goes above and beyond and is a great communicator. This time around we got stuck and delayed coming back from our trip because of the blizzard, and Paul was incredibly kind, understanding, and flexible in working with us to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away.”
“Shuhua helped us out in a pinch last minute to board our dog same night, and we are so happy with the attentiveness shown - it doesn't get much better for our shy and sleepy greyhound girlie than an elevator to avoid the scary stairs, a soft couch, lovingly-shared boiled chicken and peeled apples, and a fresh new green space she gets to sniff around. We've already booked a second day due to our needs, and will absolutely reach out again in the future if needed! So glad to establish a connection to a nearby sitter that is so comfortable for our pet.”
“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 :)”
“Frodo had a great stay- enjoyed playing with the hosts' dogs, I got great pictures and video updates, easy to communicate with. Would absolutely use again.”
“Lorena and her boyfriend watched little Lexi for the past two weekend and she had a blast! She got to play with some other dogs, go on adventures and was exhausted when I picked her up. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Ashley and family made my pup welcome in their home. Her two dogs were so chill and made space for my guy, who was easily 10 times their weight. I appreciated Ashley’s flexibility with scheduling and her easygoing approach.”
“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Lyn was so kind to our two little dogs. It was the first time in 8 years that they were with a new sitter. We were moving so our dogs were already apprehensive with packing. Her calm, gentle and super competent demeanor was exactly what we were looking for. Lyn sent photos daily so we could see how our dogs were doing. Highly recommend her!”
“Francois was extremely communicative and took great care of our pup while we were traveling. He made me feel confident that she was well cared for and loved while we were gone. She returned home happy and healthy.”

“Alexander was a very kind and responsible care provider to our two darlings and his extra care and communication was very helpful as we changed a couple of routines for our cats just when he came to care for them. Our shy kitty even interacted with him! I highly recommend Alex if you need a caring and attentive cat-sitter.”
“Alyssa did a great job feeding my 2 cats while I was away for a week! She arrived at a similar time every day and fed them and cleaned their litter boxes. At once point their automatic feeder and water fountain needed to be refilled, and she did both of these as well. My 2 cats have different diets, and I gave her instructions on how to feed them differently, and she did a great job with that as well! She was very responsive and sent photos and updates every day. Overall I would definitely recommend Alyssa if you need drop in visits while away, and I will definitely use her again if needed. I felt a peace of mind knowing that she was taking care of my kitties.”
“Carole took the BEST care of our two cats: Bender and Flexo. She was on time every morning to feed, play, and just provide them with tons of love. I would 100% recommend!!”
“Kathleen was great! Her attention to detail and regular feedback put us at ease, especially since it was our first time using Rover. 10/10 would recommend Kathleen for your furry fam :)”
“Chloe did an excellent job with our shy kitty! Her pre-visit questions made it clear she was an experienced an attentive petsitter. Her Rover Cards were detailed and always included lots of photos. :)”
“Susie always takes such good care of my cat - she's attentive to all of Mocha's needs and comforting to her in all of her visits, including administering her daily medication and making time for play. The frequent photos and updates are always so appreciated. I can tell Mocha always has a wonderful time with Susie while I'm away. I'd recommend Susie to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much for all the times you've cared for Mocha!”
“Julia took great care of our cat! She is communicative, reliable, understood/followed all care instructions, and clearly an animal lover. We knew our cat was in good hands. Highly recommend Julia for your animal sitting!”
“It was pleasure to have Traci stay at my home! She made me feel really comfortable and followed all the Instructions given. She even looked after my Bonsai trees.”
“We are so grateful for Taylor’s service! Our fur babies were so happy and comfortable with her. We most definitely will book again. Thank you for your time and taking such great care of Lindy and Juju.”
“Jordan IS a cat whisperer!! Our little boy 🐈⬛ is pretty spicy with new people, but he warmed to Jordan upon their first meeting without any issue. We are so grateful to have found someone that helps Naxos feel safe and comfortable when we are away; it gives us such peace of mind!”
“"Marina is absolutely wonderful! From the start, she was reliable and incredibly helpful, making the whole process stress-free. She has a very calm and patient energy that immediately put my mind at ease. She followed every single instruction to the letter and showed such a caring attitude toward my home and pets. I highly recommend Marina, and I’m already looking forward to having her watch my kitties again!"”
“Amarais was very attentive to my cat & took the time for an intro visit before my trip. I really appreciate that she took time to brush him out & water my outdoor plants.”
“Kay is a great cat sitter! She comes on time, shows our Ted plenty of love, and sends us detailed updates along with pictures. She is also super responsive to messages. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She was prompt with responses and very receptive. She took tons of photos and left great notes, we felt so comfortable leaving Sesame in her care. Would definitely book again!”
About: I am an absolute dog-lover and will provide your pup with the care and affection they need. I am open to pet sitting, dog walking, or quick pop-ins. If your dog loves walks and exploring the outdoors; if you need a reliable dog sitter; and if you want to have confidence in your dog's safety while you're away, please contact me and I would be thrilled to discuss what works best for you and your pup. I work from home and am available for walks most days of the week, with flexible timing. I can dog sit week days and weekends with proper notice. I prefer to stay in my clients homes where the dog is most comfortable, offering a gentle transition to your absence! I do offer stays at my home, however the dog must be house trained but I have great walking areas around me and a small backyard.
“Even in snowy weather, Shannon made her drop-in visits promptly and sent us encouraging reports and photos. She collected our mail and took good care of our house. We recommend her highly.”
“Adelle takes excellent care of our cats and understands their individual needs. She is very meticulous in following all feeding and care instructions and provides detailed updates after each visit. We will definitely continue booking her in the future.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, especially dogs. I grew up with a family dog for 15 years and was always surrounded by dogs through friends and extended family, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have hands on experience with daily care, potty training, and understanding dog behavior, and I’m confident handling everything from high energy pups to more relaxed, older dogs. While my background is primarily with dogs, I bring that same attentiveness, patience, and reliability to caring for cats, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own space. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work a standard eight hour day, so pets would have some alone time during work hours. Before and after work, I make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care. I also have roommates who can help with a midday check in or let pets out if needed, which helps break up the day. I’m very mindful of keeping pets comfortable, sticking to their routines, and making sure they feel cared for even on a work schedule. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I adjust my approach based on the environment. In my own home, I make sure the space is clean, pet safe, and free of anything they could get into. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so pets feel settled and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any specific preferences. I make sure pets stay in secure areas, keep doors and gates closed, and maintain a calm, familiar environment. I also pay close attention to behavior and energy levels to make sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10, have experience with senior dogs! I am at home all the time, and your dog will have my undivided attention I'm home all day, except for running a quick errand or two, so your pet will have my undivided attention! I also love going on walks or runs and cuddling with your fur baby if they'll let me I have a fenced yard where your dog can have supervised playtime and a large living room where your pet and I can hang out. I'm also happy to run or walk walk your dog as often as needed! I can offer intense and safe play for high energy dogs. I will respect your cat's space, but am happy to cuddle and play with toys as needed

“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.”
“Don’t hesitate for a second. Arman knows dogs! My dog Rosie fell in love with Arman and we are forever changed by his kindness. Rosie spend Wednesdays with Arman and family for 15 weeks and became a more well-rounded confident dog after suffering abuse as a pup. We are so thankful to me you! ❤️ 🐕”

About: I'd love to welcome your dog into our family (with 2 kids, ages 9 and 12) for daytime visits or overnight stays. I am working primarily from home, my calm Beagle-Mini Pin mix Sarah—affectionately called "the meagle"—enjoys having canine companions! With a lifetime of dog ownership experience, I'll ensure your pet receives expert care and plenty of entertainment, including regular walks in our nearby park. Whether you need daytime hosting, walking services, or overnight care, I'm happy to help. I am working primarily from my home office, so I will be available to walk, play with, and keep your dog company throughout the day. I provide at least three daily walks on a nearby walking path, plus additional indoor and supervised backyard play time (on leash, as our yard is unfenced).
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child, often taking on the role of the neighborhood pet sitter when families go out of town. I love all animals, (especially cats and dogs) providing them with care and attention as if they were my own. I’m currently a freelance musician and part time violin teacher, so I often have mornings and afternoons free, and sometimes weekends too, for pet care. I’m so happy to take care of your pets, so they will have my complete attention when I am with them. Your pet’s safety is my priority when they are in my care!
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.

“Maria is wonderful! Always very thoughtful and caring when she is walking my 9yr old French bulldog! Making sure she takes it easy when it is very hot outside. And putting her rain coat on and coaxing her outside in the rain.”

About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.
About: I am a social worker for humans professionally but apply the same kind of all encompassing empathy and love for dogs. I haven't had a dog of my own yet, but I've lived with and cared for many dogs over the last several years, and I’m an auntie to many close friends’ pups. Just waiting until I can be a full-time pet mom before I get a pup of my own. I can commute to you by car or public transportation. I am happy to have your dog be in my car. I just want to go on adventures in the outdoors and explore with your pup! I will love him or her as my own. Hope to hear from you soon! While I am taking care of your pet, I will be very attentive to their needs and involve them in my day as much as possible! Will spend majority of my time with your pet. I will be on top of all of their feeding, toileting, exercising and socializing needs. They are my #1 priority! I recently started my own psychotherapy practice and I work Tuesday-Friday. I go into my office most days but can alter that as needed for pet sitting. On Saturdays, Sunday’s and Mondays- your fur babies will have my undivided attention! I don’t have a fenced yard but I live near many dog parks where I could take your pup. I live in an apartment building but it’s rather small, with only 6 units total, and it’s pretty quiet with very little foot traffic. I’m happy to do whatever is necessary for caring for your pets, whether it’s in my home or yours!
