“Will was so great to our gal! He has a great property that is great for dogs who like to run around and kept us updated the whole time with pictures, what they did, and how our dog was doing. He was also very responsive and considerate of our dog’s needs. This was our first time using Rover and we were so impressed with how smooth the process was and how well they took care of our dog. Would highly highly recommend.”
“Johanna cared for Maggie like her own! Mags seemed to have a wonderful time, was happy and calm when we picked her up. Safe home. Look forward to having Maggie with Johanna in the future!”
“Jermaine took good care of my 7 year old pit bull for a week. He either updated me first or answered my questions in a timely manner when I asked for updates. I also received some pictures throughout the week of my boy. Overall I had a great experience and will be using Jermaine again!”
“Chloe took great care of our dog, Zelda, who had an injured knee and had to take it easy. Chloe sent us a midday update (pup cup, stuffie & some liesure time outside - Z seemed happy as a clam) and was very responsive. We'd definitely trust Chloe to watch our girl again!”
“So it was last minute; however, Lauren opened her door for me and took care of my Cayo! She was very caring and fun for Cayo. Cayo got along greatly with Lauren’s dogs and children. Cayo got plenty of playing time as well, which I’m thankful that I got many photos of! I highly recommend Lauren to provide care for your puppies as well, because I know I will be returning for her services!!! Thanks Lauren! ~ Matt & Cayo Hughes”
“Brigid took care of my senior girl, Chloe, for 4 nights. She was open to a last minute meet and greet. She accommodated Chloe’s senior needs, sent updates, and gave a nice verbal summary at how Chloe’s time went and included things she will miss about her. Chloe seemed content when I arrived, often going over to Brigid several times while we packed up all of her things into the car. Being a dog sitter myself, I found comfort in that, considering they were strangers just days before. I would recommend Brigid!”

“Julie is amazing!!! I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with her. She was extremely responsive, and sent a bunch of photos every day, and was a joy to talk to. I know my dogs loved staying with her too! I will be sending them to her again for sure.”
About: experience, I’ve cared for everything from energetic Labradors and playful Border Collies to senior pups and anxious rescues. I’m experienced with daily walks, positive reinforcement training, medication administration, and creating calm routines for dogs of all ages and breeds. Every day starts with a calm morning walk, fresh breakfast, and playtime to kick off zoomies. Midday brings another energetic walk or backyard fun, plus training and cuddles. Evening includes dinner, a relaxing final walk, brushies, and wind-down time so your dog stays happy, safe, and right on routine. Your dog’s safety and your peace of mind come first. I use secure leashes, supervise constantly, follow your exact routines, and keep emergency contacts ready. You’ll receive real-time photo updates and detailed reports so you can trust your pup is happy, protected, and well cared for every single day.
“Amy is amazing. She is kind and flexible and has done amazing job caring for Kalooki. We don’t have to feel guilty about leaving her behind because she is always excited to visit and has a great time either Amy’s family and the other pets to have fun with. Amy sends great photos and videos along the way that give us insights into her daily activities and friendships. She always comes home from her “vacations” exhausted in a good way, which is the best outcome of vacations for her humans too. Highly recommend!”
About: I will love and care for your pet as if it were my very own Grand-puppy. Like my Charlie. Charlie is my daughters dog who reminded me that I loved dogs. I am looking forward to building my business in a career that I love so I can retire from my current job but still have work I look forward to doing. I will treat your pet as part of my family. I have a Grand-puppy named Charlie who came into my life and reminded me I loved dogs.
“Katherine was fantastic! She watched our dog Olive (3 year old mixed breed) while we went to the beach with our family. Katherine is so loving and her two dachshunds welcomed Olive right in. She’s knowledgeable about dogs and made Olive feel right at home! She sent lots of pictures and updates and we felt so relaxed knowing Olive was in a loving environment (with plenty of space to run around!)”

“Rebeka couldn’t be nicer and handled our handful of a dog very well. She responds to messages quickly, and I appreciated her reaching out to confirm the day of our scheduled appointment. She is very prompt and has a lot of dog behavioral experience that is helpful. I would not hesitate to use her again!”
About: Dog mom, animal lover, and always happy to spend time with animals! I grew up in an animal-loving household surrounded by dogs, gerbils, guinea pigs, parakeets, fish, and even the occasional rescue kitten. My love of animals has continued throughout my life, and I’ve had a wide variety of hands-on animal care experience. I spent several years working on a horse farm and also worked as a kennel and veterinary technician assistant at a veterinary clinic, where I gained experience caring for animals with a variety of needs. I also regularly dog and cat sit for friends and neighbors and am comfortable caring for pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have a two year old rescue pup of my own, Colby, who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day how much animals become part of the family. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the same care, attention, and affection I give my own! I’m primarily available during weekday school hours, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime walks, drop-ins, and pet visits Monday through Friday. I also have some availability on weekends, although it varies from week to week. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works for both of us and will always make sure I’m available before confirming a booking. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, comfort, and making sure they feel happy and secure while in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions from their owner, and I’m careful to follow those instructions consistently. Whether I’m caring for a pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I prioritize keeping them safe, supervised, and comfortable. I’ll also keep owners updated and communicate promptly if I have any questions or notice anything unusual.
“Pam is an amazing caretaker!! Such a kind person and clearly very conscientious of the finer details when taking care of the furry ones. She genuinely cares about providing quality care, above and beyond just the standard baseline, and is very respectful of my home space, too. She’s a great communicator, always providing updates and pictures, and never failing to provide precise check-in times. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“I had Grace housesit/petsit for 3 days. She was excellent! I'm a helicopter cat mom and it's not easy leaving your home and baby with someone you don't know, Grace made the experience worry-free, my shy cat loved her and she sent frequent pics/updates. My house looked great when I got back, she even watered my plants. I'm definitely booking her again, and you should too, she's trustworthy, reliable and was just a nice, easy person to work with.”

About: I grew up with cats & have years of experience caring for them as part of my family. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing, and of course giving plenty of attention & affection when they want it! Although I don’t currently have pets of my own due to my school & work schedule, pet sitting gives me the opportunity to get my serotonin dose from all the cuteness while doing something I enjoy!

About: Active Dog Loving Grandparents We enjoyed the pleasure of having pets our entire lives, they have brought us a sense of peace and joy and best of all unconditional love. Our best friends have been Boston Terrier’s, German Sheppard’s, American Bulldogs and Boxers. They are all unique in their personalities but all love to be loved, just like us. We are retired so one of us are at home all the time. We live on a great fence property with an awesome nieghborhood that we love to take walks around multiple times a day (weather permitting.) The dogs usually have a grand time taking a run around the property and playing. Should it be too warm of course they enjoy the air conditioning ? Now that our children are grown and married with children/dogs we occasionally keep their Boxer brother (Duke) and sister (Honey) and our grandchildren too. You can feel safe leaving your pets in our care. We will look after them and love them like our own! In fact, they may not want to leave as our grand-dogs do? Can provide a bath prior to your return if you would like. Look forward to meeting you and your baby soon. Grandma J
About: Hello Pet Owners! My name is Haley and I've been a dog walker and overnight sitter for many animal friends in the Fairmount area for three years now, and have been a professional animal caregiver for about 8 years total. I’ve previously worked at NYC's main animal shelter as an adoption counselor and foster parent for a long time, and feel comfortable working with animals with anxiety, leash reactivity, allergies, medications, or that require other special care, and always work them with the utmost patience. Though a lot of my clients tend towards the smaller side, I love our bigger buddies, too! I offer a very personalized care experience for your fur baby- all dogs are walked and cared for individually, never with other clients simultaneously. And when your pet is in my care, they are my absolutely priority focus! I am a hands on, eyes on, camera on constantly sitter- you will receive plenty of photo updates and confirmation on your pets well being. My schedule is completely self-made, so I often have last minute availability and a lot of flexibility when it comes to scheduling! I understand just how much we love and care for our pets (my dog Moby is like My son), and I always make sure to give yours the affection, attention, and playtime you would while you're gone! Currently, the majority of my work is freelance editing, so my schedule is flexible and typically quite open. I have full week availability, especially for walks- even last minute bookings! I have a small, fenced backyard big enough for casual play and outdoor lounging, and a large main living area with space for fetch and plenty of cozy cuddle room on my big, pet friendly couch! My little guy, Moby, is a 3 year old Morkie who is sweet, playful, and adjusts well to other animals’ energy preferences.
“Jess and the whole family were awesome!! They loved on Louie, gave walks, etc. We travel to Cambridge a lot, so we’re really happy that we found his second home. :)”
“Great care and very responsive :) Johanna was flexible with timing and when we had to adjust and add a second dog. She was really quick and easy to communicate with. Everything went well and we’d easily book her again :)”
About: I live in a home who foster dogs in need. Home with the dog all day so they'll have that attention and someone caring for them. I can take care of elderly dogs that use diapers full proper care even all the way to puppies and there high energy . Me being young i do play with the dogs i like to run around with them to keep myself and them entertained. I am a MMA fighter so I'm free everyday my gym is right here at home where I train at so I'm never off the property unless I have to be. I have a fenced in back yard that the dog will have access to and when inside your dog will be with me in my room making itself a comfortable home anywhere it pleases.
“Tanya was amazing!!! We were in Cambridge for a family reunion and Tanya kept our puppy during the day. He had a great time with her (and her dogs). She sent pics and videos throughout the day. We would definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.
About: As a mom and lifelong animal lover, I understand how important trust is when someone cares for your pet. I offer dependable, attentive care in a calm home setting. I’m patient, nurturing, and detail-oriented — making sure your dog feels loved, exercised, and safe at all times. My open schedule allows for consistent supervision and care. I’m flexible with my time and available most days and weekends which allows attentive care :) I care for pets in my home, offering a secure and relaxed setting while you’re away. They will be comfortable safe and always loved :)
“Mary was great, she just incorporated Allie into her family and daily life. She sent photos of Allie totally chilling out and interacting with people. It made me feel better knowing she was safe and content. I could see that in her face and body language.”
About: Hi, my name’s Lindsey! I’m 25 years old and I absolutely love all sorts of animals. At home I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, Goats, Ducks, chickens, a gecko, a turtle and fish. My house has always been full of pets growing up, as I participated in my local 4-H club for 9 years. I have had lots of animals, including lizards, fish, a hedgehog, a ferret, cats, dogs, lambs, goats, pigs, and cattle. I have also had lots of experience over the years taking good care of my neighbors’ and friends’ pets whenever they are out of town. You have my word that I will be reliable and closely follow all your instructions for your little ones, and I will be sure to treat and love your pets like my own! I am home most of the day since I work from home. You have my word that your pets will be treated lovingly in my hands. I have a tendency to spoil all animals. I have a fenced in yard, perfect for running around and playing. I always make sure that I have fresh cold water outside during play time.
About: I grew up with family pets and spent years fostering animals before adopting a pup of my own, Lemonade (aka Lemmy). She is a little under 2 years old and loves making new friends. This is a great opportunity for your dog to come stay and play. For best care, I only take pets from one family at a time in addition to my own. I work from home full time during the weekdays, so your pet will be offered lots of play time, potty breaks, and cuddles. I also spend a lot of time home on the weekends and can provide extra quality care. I have a fully fenced front yard and my puppy Lemonade will be with me to help entertain your pet and keep them company during their stay. **Meet and greet is required before your first booking**
About: For me, pet care has never been just a job—it's been a lifelong passion. I was raised in a family of professional trainers and boarders, where I learned from an early age how to properly care for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. We also spent countless hours working alongside local shelters, helping dogs build confidence and prepare for their forever homes. Professionally, I have over 20 years of experience working in boarding, training assistance, behavioral rehabilitation, and pet care. In 2012, I began my career as a professional dog groomer and later became certified to groom both dogs and cats. In 2020, I became certified to train new groomers as they worked toward their professional certifications. Today, I combine all of that experience to provide a calm, loving, and individualized experience for every pet in my care. My Specialties I specialize in creating fear-free, low-stress experiences built on patience, trust, and compassion. Some of my areas of expertise include: • Fear-free handling and grooming • Trauma rehabilitation grooming for pets who cannot safely visit traditional salons due to fear, anxiety, or behavioral concerns • Senior pet care • Puppy care and socialization • Pets with medical or mobility challenges • Basic training and reinforcement of good manners • Administering medications while carefully monitoring for symptoms or side effects One of my greatest passions is helping fearful dogs learn that grooming and handling don't have to be scary. Rather than forcing pets through services, I work at their pace, building trust over time with the goal of helping them become comfortable and confident again. Many of my clients come to me after being turned away from traditional grooming salons due to behavioral or medical concerns. What Your Pet Can Expect I strive to make every stay feel like a vacation with family rather than simply boarding. Your pet may enjoy: • Daily walks (typically 2-4 per day, while following your normal routine whenever possible) • Plenty of one-on-one attention and affection • Playtime, enrichment, and exercise • Trips to the dog park (with your permission and only if appropriate for your pet) • Picture, video, and message updates throughout their stay • A calm, loving home environment where they are treated like family One unique tradition many pets come to love is bedtime story time. It may sound unusual, but quietly reading aloud has helped many anxious dogs relax before bed. I've even seen it help dogs experiencing storm anxiety or fear of loud noises settle more comfortably. Routine is incredibly important to me. If your pet has a specific schedule, feeding routine, medication plan, or bedtime ritual, I'll do everything possible to maintain it while they're in my care. Because of my experience working with behavioral and medical cases, I also pay close attention to subtle changes in your pet's behavior, mobility, appetite, and overall well-being. If I notice anything concerning, I'll communicate with you immediately and act quickly in your pet's best interest. Communication & Grooming I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet care. The more I know about your pet's personality, routines, preferences, and medical history, the better experience I can provide. In return, you'll receive detailed updates about how they're doing, including behavior, activities, and anything I notice that may be helpful for you to know. During boarding or daycare stays, I'm also happy to reinforce basic training and offer guidance on grooming maintenance, body language, and behavioral changes that may strengthen your bond with your pet at home. Professional grooming services are available for pets staying in my care. Grooming recommendations, pricing, and service completion depend on your pet's size, coat condition, medical needs, and stress level. My philosophy is simple: I will never force a pet through a service. Their comfort, trust, and emotional well-being always come first. Booking Information To help protect my home while still providing every pet with the highest level of care, the estimated price for boarding and daycare includes a refundable cleaning/security fee. This fee is fully refunded after your pet's stay provided there is no excessive damage or extraordinary cleaning required beyond normal pet messes. I believe this allows me to continue offering a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every guest while being fair to both pet parents and my home. My goal is simple: every pet should leave my care feeling safe, loved, understood, and excited to come back. I am generally home all day. I do work as a groomer for pets that are unable to got to salons, but I do this from home as well. So your pets will have round the clock love and care. You will need to provide any food and specific treats if your pet has a favorite or dietary restrictions/allergies. Pets are family. I will personally take them for walks throughout the day for fresh air and exercise, play with them and ensure they feel comfortable and lived while you are away. I do offer creating services, however, depending on the size of your dog, you may have to supply the crate. You pet will always be treated like family, but the details of their routine and activities will depend on your instructions. I respect that different lifestyles require different things (i.e crating vs free roam, scheduled feeding vs grazing, scheduled walks/potty breaks vs whenever they want to go out, etc.) and will maintain that sense of normalcy as much as possible. If you opt for grooming, and I am able to comfortably groom your dog, grooming will take place 1-2 days before your return. That way they have time to decompress after, and if they are stressed for parts, it gives leeway to do little bits over time.

I have already referred her to family and friends.”

“Caitlin was an excellent walker and companion for our golden retriever, Griffey, while we visited from out of town. She was so easy to communicate with, and we enjoyed her pictures and updates from the walk. We could tell how conscientious she is because everything went so smoothly—with the house all locked up after, and Griffey’s leash and collar in the same place we left it. We highly recommend Caitlin!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 and can’t imagine life without them! While serving in the Navy, I volunteered at military kennels, and later worked at a doggy daycare/boarding/training facility in Texas. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets, and I share my home with a sweet 10-year-old lab and a 2-year-old Norwegian Forest Cat. Reliable, patient, and attentive — I promise to treat your pets like my own. I have a flexible schedule and lots of love to give! Whether it’s a quick walk or a cozy check-in, I’ll make sure your furry family members get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. During walks, I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure a fun and secure outing. For in-home check-ins, I follow all your instructions carefully, provide love and attention, and make sure your pets feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals & have experience with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even chickens! Taking care of pets was part of my responsibilities growing up, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, & making sure they receive plenty of attention and care. Although I don’t currently have pets of my own because of my work & school schedule, I love spending time with & caring for my family & friends’ pets. I also have experience staying overnight to care for dogs through a family connection. I’m responsible, attentive, & will treat your pets like they’re part of the family. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to get my serotonin dose from all the cuteness of animals while doing something I enjoy! I’m currently in nursing school, which gives me flexibility outside of my class & clinical schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, & overnight stays depending on the day. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure their pet’s normal routine fits with my schedule. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet & your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine & any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, crates, litter boxes, or other care needs. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, & gets plenty of attention while you’re away, & I’m happy to provide any photo & text updates as needed for peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was very little! From bottle feeding kittens and newborn puppies, to the older furry friends who need extra attention in different ways. I currently am a stay at home mom to a very friendly and pet safe 4 year old. We take everyday as a new adventure which allows plenty of flexibility. From tasks as serious as medication administration and special diets to as simple but important as preferred toys in their beds so they sleep just like they would if you were home, I will be more than happy to care for your pet as my own.
About: Experience with multiple breeds of dogs. My heart is owned by our 5 boys and our 3 furbabies 16 year old Siberian Husky named Lola, a 2 year old husky/german Shepard mix named Skye and a 13 year old Australian shepherd named Apache .

About: I have 8 animals of my own, both dogs and cats. I also work part time as a Kennel Technician so I am very familiar with different animal personalities and how I’m expected to care for them! Neighbors, friends, family & clients have relied on me to care for their furry friends and I’ve loved getting to know each one. I am pet CPR & First aid Certified. I work as a nanny from 11-5 as well as dog sitting overnights frequently. I work as a nanny from 11-5 in Southampton. College is online so that won’t be a problem right now.

“Will was so great to our gal! He has a great property that is great for dogs who like to run around and kept us updated the whole time with pictures, what they did, and how our dog was doing. He was also very responsive and considerate of our dog’s needs. This was our first time using Rover and we were so impressed with how smooth the process was and how well they took care of our dog. Would highly highly recommend.”
“Johanna cared for Maggie like her own! Mags seemed to have a wonderful time, was happy and calm when we picked her up. Safe home. Look forward to having Maggie with Johanna in the future!”
“Jermaine took good care of my 7 year old pit bull for a week. He either updated me first or answered my questions in a timely manner when I asked for updates. I also received some pictures throughout the week of my boy. Overall I had a great experience and will be using Jermaine again!”
“Chloe took great care of our dog, Zelda, who had an injured knee and had to take it easy. Chloe sent us a midday update (pup cup, stuffie & some liesure time outside - Z seemed happy as a clam) and was very responsive. We'd definitely trust Chloe to watch our girl again!”
“So it was last minute; however, Lauren opened her door for me and took care of my Cayo! She was very caring and fun for Cayo. Cayo got along greatly with Lauren’s dogs and children. Cayo got plenty of playing time as well, which I’m thankful that I got many photos of! I highly recommend Lauren to provide care for your puppies as well, because I know I will be returning for her services!!! Thanks Lauren! ~ Matt & Cayo Hughes”
“Brigid took care of my senior girl, Chloe, for 4 nights. She was open to a last minute meet and greet. She accommodated Chloe’s senior needs, sent updates, and gave a nice verbal summary at how Chloe’s time went and included things she will miss about her. Chloe seemed content when I arrived, often going over to Brigid several times while we packed up all of her things into the car. Being a dog sitter myself, I found comfort in that, considering they were strangers just days before. I would recommend Brigid!”

About: experience, I’ve cared for everything from energetic Labradors and playful Border Collies to senior pups and anxious rescues. I’m experienced with daily walks, positive reinforcement training, medication administration, and creating calm routines for dogs of all ages and breeds. Every day starts with a calm morning walk, fresh breakfast, and playtime to kick off zoomies. Midday brings another energetic walk or backyard fun, plus training and cuddles. Evening includes dinner, a relaxing final walk, brushies, and wind-down time so your dog stays happy, safe, and right on routine. Your dog’s safety and your peace of mind come first. I use secure leashes, supervise constantly, follow your exact routines, and keep emergency contacts ready. You’ll receive real-time photo updates and detailed reports so you can trust your pup is happy, protected, and well cared for every single day.
“Amy is amazing. She is kind and flexible and has done amazing job caring for Kalooki. We don’t have to feel guilty about leaving her behind because she is always excited to visit and has a great time either Amy’s family and the other pets to have fun with. Amy sends great photos and videos along the way that give us insights into her daily activities and friendships. She always comes home from her “vacations” exhausted in a good way, which is the best outcome of vacations for her humans too. Highly recommend!”
