“Our dog Sara had an absolutely fabulous time at Judy's home. Judy is so friendly, and her dog Rosie became our dog's best friend instantly! There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor space for dogs to roam around, and lots of toys. We're so thankful for Judy and her wonderful doggie care!”
“We had such a great experience leaving our little Luna with Jacob and Willie (his friendly dog!). Jacob was super communicative with little reassuring updates and made sure to provide a cozy and comfortable space for her to stay while we were on vacation. Were really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who’s looking for someone to care for their pup!”
“Emily was so great watching our energetic lab for a few nights! Her communication was super prompt and she shared daily updates with pics/videos. She was so accommodating and her whole family seemed to welcome our dog into their home. Would highly recommend Emily’s boarding services! We’ll be back!! 🙂”
“Adriana and her whole family was very accommodating and patient with our dog who gets separation anxiety. She kept me updated frequently with pictures and texts. I would use Adriana again and would recommend her. Thank you!”
“Kourtney is a kind and a knowledgeable dog sitter. When I overseas for almost a month, my high energy dog was boarded in her place. She kept me posted and sent pictures. I could tell how much my dog got her attentions and love. She made my absence very easy and pleasant to my very sensitive rescued dog. I highly recommend Kourtney to you when you need help. Thank you very much, Kourtney and your husband!”
“Absolute best sitter I've left my GSD with. Hoping to book again soon so he gets more socialization with their pup. Kalani was very accommodating and understanding of my last minute request to book on a holiday weekend and my boys' anxiety that can look like aggression. Great communication and care. Would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!”
“Ashton was great! Our dog Jack doesn't spend much time with other people and Ashton was very accommodating when our previous sitter (not from rover.com) canceled a week before the appointment. We received pictures and updates throughout the visit, communication was excellent! Thanks again, we look forward to meeting again when the need arises!!”
“Riven and Matt were great! They were able to take care of my pup, Lula Mae, while I needed to be out of town on short notice. Lu was clearly well cared for and happy with them. Really appreciate it!!”
About: Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have 18 years of pet care experience. I have had pleasure of owning three dogs over the course of my adult life. I currently have a senior dog named Benson and this Summer my family and I adopted a pup named Nash. I use to foster dogs and cats throughout college and several friends and family have relied on me to care for their four-legged family member(s) over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and I am certified in Pet First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross. Im currently working from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have a great amount of time to spend with your dog(s) in my home and take them out throughout the day. My husband Martin will also join me on walks/trails at times when he is home in the evening and weekends. I offer in-home boarding. Provide daily walks around the neighborhood and walking trails in the area. Dog treats are also provided, unless declined by dog owner. All dogs boarding must be crate trained for nightly sleep for their safety and the safety of other dogs.
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently working 6:30am-12pm, M-F. I'm available for drop-in visits any day of the week, after 1pm and on the weekends. I can house sit during the week as long as your pet doesn't mind an early morning! 🙂. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
“Our dog was in great hands for 4 days over the July 4th holiday weekend! Vanessa was very easy and flexible on drop off and pick up and sent plenty of pictures throughout the boarding time! Beautiful home and neighborhood for all dogs!”

“Bonnie is so great with Sarsaparilla. She can sometimes be a feisty girl and it takes time for her warm up to people, but Bonnie is so patient and kind.

“Our pup was very well taken care of, few hiccups along the way however they were very responsive, and she returned home every day just wiped out from blowing off all of her energy.”
About: I have 14+ years experience in the veterinary field. Learning about animal behaviors, preventative care and physical health is a passion of mine. I am a very well rounded animal enthusiast that loves to stay busy. Some of my extracurriculars include training my Australian shepherd, whether it’s dock diving, agility or overall obedience. I will hold each pet to standards that support good manners, so some training may be associated with my services. I strive to exercise your fur babies intellectually as well as physically. I am very detailed oriented, and consider myself very observant. I’m not afraid to communicate and ask questions regarding your pets’ needs. I would be caring for your pet around my typical work schedule, which is M-F ~8-6pm, but I can always drop in mid day during lunch. Communicating your expectations so I may practice proper time management is important for a successful and stress free pet sitting job. I have a very well socialized 5yo male, 50lb, Australian shepherd, Oshie and he loves to play. Additionally I can provide walks, and play sessions. Hikes are also supported.
“Kourtney was so incredibly kind and helpful with taking our Nellie girl last minute. She immediately made Nellie feel welcomed and safe, introduced her slowly to the other furry friends, and eased my worried heart by sending updates and photos regularly. We are so grateful to have found Kourtney and are looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
“It was obvious to me that she was having a real good time with not only the other dogs but the children as well which makes me happy to know that she was well taken care of. Thank you so much for taking good care of my fur baby”
About: I work full-time from home in Amherst, meaning your dog will never be left alone or crated for long stretches. I have a large, fully fenced-in yard where guest dogs can run safely alongside my friendly 35 lb Rat Terrier/Beagle mix, Wally! Because I only host ONE client family at a time, your pet gets 100% of my attention, unlimited bathroom breaks, and constant supervision throughout the day. Whether it's lounging next to my desk or playing fetch in the yard, your dog will feel right at home. I work full-time from home, which means pet care seamlessly integrates into my day. Your dog won't be left alone or crated for hours while you're away. I take regular breaks throughout the day for yard play, potty breaks, and walks. Because I only take one client family at a time, your dog receives constant company alongside my friendly mix, Wally. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can run freely and safely. Inside, furniture privileges are welcome if that's what your pup is used to at home! Whether your dog is crate-trained or prefers lounging on a dog bed, I adapt to their normal routine. Mandatory meet-and-greets ensure everyone gets along before booking.
“Kathryn is great. She took great care of my dog while I was at work. Sent me pictures and updates so that I knew how he was doing. Highly recommend. We did daycare with her and he loves being there and playing with her dogs and whoever else she is watching that day”
“Tracy was such a good sitter for our dog! She had great communication and was very friendly and accommodating to our schedule. She provided plenty of photos and updates as well. We’ll definitely book her again if we need a sitter!”
About: Hi all! I have lots of experience walking and caring for dogs/pups and cats. My very first pup was a chihuahua at around age 5. Since then my love for animals grew. I've had several Siamese cats, aquatic fish and dogs growing up. I've walked and cared for many different pups around town (just about all breeds) and I can assure your furry friend is in good hands. In our house I have a 13 year old son, a 2 year old daughter, three turtles, bearded dragon and several fish. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I can provide you with several references, past employer and client related. I can also pick up/drop off to make things easier. Thank you!
“Amanda's home was clean, welcoming and well set up for pet care. Amanda's pricing was fair and honest and she was amazing with communication throughout the day. It was obvious that she loves animals and my dog agrees as she was excited and happy on the days that she was in Amanda's care. I highly recommend her!”
About: My journey with animals did not start as a job. It began when I was 10 years old and welcomed my first cat into my life. Since then, animals have always been part of my world. I also grew up with a beloved Shih Tzu who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years and taught me what patient, devoted, long-term care truly looks like. Over the years, I have gained hands-on pet-sitting experience with many different animals and breeds, from energetic Golden Retrievers to Maine Coons, playful kittens, and small companion dogs. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I live with my husband in a two-floor apartment with hardwood floors and no carpets. I am happy to lift and carry pets on the stairs when needed, as long as they are comfortable being picked up. No matter the age, breed, or temperament, your pet will be treated with patience, attention, and care, just like part of the family. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give all the needed attention to your pet throughout the day. That means plenty of walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and just being around so they feel cared for and not left alone for too long. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats, keeping them active, entertained, and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I live with my husband in a two-floor condo with its own backyard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m very mindful of safety and always keep dogs secure when they're outside. The area around us has plenty of green space, which makes walks much more enjoyable and gives dogs lots of room to explore, sniff, and play.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, having owned and been with many dogs throughout my life. I provide a safe environment with a large yard, stay home full-time during care, administer medications when needed, and have personally trained each of my dogs, including my French bulldog, Rodolfo. I have flexible schedule, working from home and can provide flexible pick up and drop off times. Playing with the dogs gives me multiple opportunities to step away from work during the day. I live on more than 2 acres on a quiet road. I have a friendly 2 year old French Bulldog that loves to play with other dogs.

About: I'm a lifelong dog and cat owner who treats every animal like family. I build strong bonds with dogs through communication, patience, and positive reinforcement. I enjoy basic training, teaching tricks, playing, walks, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they deserve. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm looking for side work taking care of people's pets along side my loveable Labrador. I'm available for walks, car rides, pet sitting and pet check-ins. I care for pets with patience, attention, and genuine affection. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level rather than treating every dog the same. I provide plenty of companionship, positive reinforcement, exercise, and mental stimulation while making sure they are safe and comfortable in their own home or mine. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel like part of the family while they’re in my care.
“Angelina was great! She accommodated a last-minute request and was extremely communicative and responsive throughout Tucker’s stay. Tucker is very anxious and I had complete confidence that he was well taken care of. I’d definitely recommend Angelina and will book with her again.”
“Adrielle was super friendly and kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos of our pup. Our pup had a fantastic time, and we were so pleased she was well taken care of. I would definitely have Adrielle watch our dog again!”
“Initially before my Scottie Dog’s daycare, we did a “Meet and Greet”, which gave Jack an opportunity to interact with Kavita’s dog, Toby. Toby was very welcoming to another dog to share his spacious fenced in backyard. The next day, I dropped off Jack, who was eager to meet his new dog friend, Toby. During the day, Kavita sent me a photo, and video of Jack’s outside activity. It was very reassuring to know that my pet was doing just fine interacting with the other dogs.”

About: I have been a lover and caretaker for animals since I was young. I foster puppy’s often and love it. Having the opportunity to train and prep them to find their forever homes is so special to me. From potty training, to obedience training and everything in between as a start to giving them their best lives! Through Fostering, I have learned how to connect with dogs on a different level. I would love to have the opportunity to walk, connect and take care of your animals as needed. I work part time and I have plenty of time to do drop ins or take your pups on a nice walk. Around the neighborhood or a few miles in the woods. What ever matches their energy. I treat every animal I care for like they are my own, keeping them safe and loved while they are in my care. ❤️ ❤️
“I just met Matt this year and he has been such a great support ! I work really long hours and was hesitant about finding a dog sitter as my dog is really selective with men. From one meet and greet my dog was comfortable with Matt & was friendly right away! Matt has been consistent and is extremely reliable & follows instructions! He makes sure remy is exhausted by the time he’s done and he also makes sure to give her her water breaks while on walks! I’m definitely sticking with Mat as a dog sitter. 🫶🏼 thank you for being there for my sweet girl !”
“Bonnie did a great job introducing our new puppy to the neighborhood. She fed, watered, and walked him each day, right on time. I love the pics! They helped put this new fur mama's mind at ease. We look forward to the next vacation week to hire Bonnie again.”

About: Owned and taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Can’t remember a time without having pets! Currently own two crazy pups and two pretty kitties, and can’t wait to meet yours. Have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and everything in between. I am a full time firefighter/EMT, so I only work two 24hr shifts a week, and the rest of the time I get to play with yours, and my own animals! Love to hike or be outdoors with as many pets as possible! If they’re happy, I’m happy! I will follow all rules set for your pet, and be sure to keep their safety at the top of the list! As a pet owner, I can’t imagine something happening to my own animals, and I would never want to let anything happen to yours!
About: I have over 20 years of personal experience with my own cats and dogs, and about 6 years of doggy daycare experience. From pack leader to poop scooper, I enjoy it all :) I was recently laid off from work and now have plenty of time to do what I love! I would like to keep my hours around 6am - 8pm, but am willing to be more flexible if you need. Safety is always a priority. Before deciding to take care of your animal, I make sure we can work together with respect, from both sides. That way, we can build trust and have a stressless, safe time together.

He is contentious, dedicated, and loving to all the people and pets he comes into contact with. I highly recommend his services and happily look forward to working with him again in the future." - Nicole E. "Kae dogsits for me when I go away on business trips or go into Boston for the weekend, and I could not recommend him more highly! He is caring and attentive to my dog; my dog gets so excited to see him. My dog is medium to high energy and Kae always tires her out. He is extremely knowledgable about dogs and dog behavior and has given me several tools to help keep my dog more mentally engaged and less stressed. Kae is punctual, he remembers all sorts of details about every dog, and he is my go-to whenever I need someone. Best dog sitter/walker in the Providence area!" - Kate R. I have worked with a doggy daycare, where I learnt dog behavior, and positive reinforcement training.

About: I’ve typically only cared for friends pets (cats & dogs) my role was feeding, playing (included filming some tiktoks & take selfies), taking the dogs out to potty, and putting them in their crate for bedtime. I’m always down to learn more so I can be a better fit in your dog’s life. I’m an introvert but animals bring out my fun side. This is currently my stream of income, and I don’t start my classes until November so my time is pretty flexible at the moment. We can always communicate and build a schedule together, but I’m always down to spend time with your pups! I work very well with direct directions. Do’s and Dont’s are very important to me (ex: if there’s something your pet doesn’t like/or does, any type of aggression, routines, etc..). Anything that can help me create a great relationship with your pet and you! I want them to feel safe with me, and I want you to be able to trust me while I care for them. I love playing with dogs & cats but I also know to respect their space when they need it. I will always clean up after your pet if needed (any accidents in the house or outside). A safe, healthy, and fun environment is what I try to create.
About: I have had pets since I was 3 years old. I really started to get involved with pet care when I was a preteen. I have done pet sitting with my friends as well. I am going to college to study veterinary technology and am looking to get more hands on experience with dogs and cats! :) ⚠️PLEASE READ BEFORE REQUESTING⚠️:I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to watch your pets during the week.

I have leashes and harnesses in my home. Everything in my home is pet proofed.
About: Ever since I was little, I have always loved caring for my own pets. I have always lived with at least one dog. I currently have a pug, two shitzus, a cat, and a bearded dragon. I enjoy giving them the love, care, and attention they deserve, and so my goal is to give the same to your pets! As summer is approaching, I will be available Monday through Friday during the week to work part-time to provide drop in/housesit and/or walking services to your dog(s). I live on a fully fenced property so dogs can run around freely without the need of a leash. Inside the house is very safe and each room has a door or gate. I only want the best for the pet I take into my home and for them to feel safe is a huge priority for me.

We around a lot of dogs over the course of the week, so we are unable to on any dogs that will not do well with others for more than an over night. If you have feline family, I am happy to play with crinkle balls, laser pointers, or be a lap as needed. For boarding, my Matt and Jason (also on Rover) and myself are home 95% of the day and can usually accommodate most pick up or drop off time, frequent potty breaks, and walks.

Thank you for viewing me as a possible candidate to be welcomed into your life.
About: Having grown up with a dog and now raising a family with two young children, caring for living creatures with patience, structure, and genuine affection is second nature to me. I understand that pets aren't just animals—they're family members who thrive on consistent routines, clear boundaries, and lots of attention. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup’s routine, managing feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm, cozy environment overnight, I bring a gentle, dependable, and highly organized approach to pet care. I treat every home with utmost respect and every dog as if they were my own. As a mom with a structured daily routine, pet care integrates seamlessly into my schedule. I focus on early morning and evening routines—ideal times for overnight house sitting, morning feedings, and evening walks or drop-in visits. Because my household operates on a reliable daily rhythm, I am highly consistent with feeding schedules, timely medication, and bedtime routines. Whether dropping in for a 30-minute visit or staying overnight, I plan my days to ensure pets receive dedicated, uninterrupted attention during their most important care windows. Safety, clear communication, and respecting your space are my top priorities. As a parent of two young children, taking a proactive approach to safety is second nature to me—I am always vigilant about securing doors, keeping household hazards or small objects out of reach, and maintaining a clean, secure space. In your home, I strictly follow your specific security instructions, keep feeding areas tidy, manage litter boxes daily, and ensure your pet’s normal routine remains completely undisturbed. For walks and outdoor time, I keep dogs securely leashed and pay close attention to environmental surroundings. I respect every pet’s boundaries by letting timid animals approach at their own pace, and I always confirm your local vet details and care instructions beforehand. You can count on frequent updates and photos so you always know your pet and home are in safe, caring hands.

“Our dog Sara had an absolutely fabulous time at Judy's home. Judy is so friendly, and her dog Rosie became our dog's best friend instantly! There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor space for dogs to roam around, and lots of toys. We're so thankful for Judy and her wonderful doggie care!”
“Emily was so great watching our energetic lab for a few nights! Her communication was super prompt and she shared daily updates with pics/videos. She was so accommodating and her whole family seemed to welcome our dog into their home. Would highly recommend Emily’s boarding services! We’ll be back!! 🙂”
“Kourtney is a kind and a knowledgeable dog sitter. When I overseas for almost a month, my high energy dog was boarded in her place. She kept me posted and sent pictures. I could tell how much my dog got her attentions and love. She made my absence very easy and pleasant to my very sensitive rescued dog. I highly recommend Kourtney to you when you need help. Thank you very much, Kourtney and your husband!”
“Absolute best sitter I've left my GSD with. Hoping to book again soon so he gets more socialization with their pup. Kalani was very accommodating and understanding of my last minute request to book on a holiday weekend and my boys' anxiety that can look like aggression. Great communication and care. Would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!”
“Ashton was great! Our dog Jack doesn't spend much time with other people and Ashton was very accommodating when our previous sitter (not from rover.com) canceled a week before the appointment. We received pictures and updates throughout the visit, communication was excellent! Thanks again, we look forward to meeting again when the need arises!!”
“Riven and Matt were great! They were able to take care of my pup, Lula Mae, while I needed to be out of town on short notice. Lu was clearly well cared for and happy with them. Really appreciate it!!”
About: Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have 18 years of pet care experience. I have had pleasure of owning three dogs over the course of my adult life. I currently have a senior dog named Benson and this Summer my family and I adopted a pup named Nash. I use to foster dogs and cats throughout college and several friends and family have relied on me to care for their four-legged family member(s) over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and I am certified in Pet First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross. Im currently working from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have a great amount of time to spend with your dog(s) in my home and take them out throughout the day. My husband Martin will also join me on walks/trails at times when he is home in the evening and weekends. I offer in-home boarding. Provide daily walks around the neighborhood and walking trails in the area. Dog treats are also provided, unless declined by dog owner. All dogs boarding must be crate trained for nightly sleep for their safety and the safety of other dogs.
“Our dog was in great hands for 4 days over the July 4th holiday weekend! Vanessa was very easy and flexible on drop off and pick up and sent plenty of pictures throughout the boarding time! Beautiful home and neighborhood for all dogs!”
“This was Leo’s second stay , and we were very happy. Angelina was sending us pictures , Leo was in good hands while we were overseas. We will definitely consider her services for future again.”

“Satya had a great time this past weekend with Luiz and the whole family. We got tons of pics and videos of our pup playing and having fun. We continue to be repeat customers. Satya is well cared for and we don't have to worry while we are away!”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter. Lucille was great! She maintained great contact and was very in tuned to the nuances of each dog. I was thrilled that the dogs got exercise and went on lots of walks! Would definitely use Lucille again!”
“Tracy was so sweet, very responsive, and you could tell she loves animals. She sent updates with pictures regularly and o could see he was so cared for. My dog Kanan came home a very happy pup! Thank you again Tracy!”
“Bo and Aida were well cared for and seemed happy at pickup. Donnie sent pictures over the weekend so we could see how they were doing. Will definitely have our pups stay with Donnie in the future!”
“Liza was amazing with our dog! He boarded at her house for a week while we were on vacation and she treated him like family! She sent pictures and updates everyday, and our dog loved playing in her fenced in yard. We will definitely book Liza again!”
