“Karen is fabulous! Super organized! She took care of our 2 dogs all week and treated them like they were her own. They had tons of walks, snuggles & playtime. She kept us updated a few times per day every day to know how they were doing and sent us over 120 photos in a week (on average more than 10 per day). She truly deserves more than 5 stars.”
“I'm so glad I found Amethyst ☺️ she was wonderful with my dog Q. She sent me regular photos of Q (I don't know how she made my dog sit still and be such a good model for photos haha but she managed well!) and updates and always made sure his needs were met. And she was also very flexible and accommodating about last minute changes I had to do cause another sitter canceled. But it's all good, since I was able to book with Amethyst ☺️ My Q had a really great time with her! Thank you! 10/10 recommended her 👌”
“Right from the beginning, Leah was fantastic. She communicated with me very promptly and politely, and she was easy to connect with. She followed the instructions for our dog and took great care of him while we were gone with walks and love. She also sent lots of pictures and videos. When we picked our dog up I told Leah, next time we go out of town, I will definitely be calling her first!”
“We boarded our 6-month old puppy with Ninfa for 2 weeks and he had an amazing time. She was very attentive to him and to all of our questions as it was our first time boarding him. She sent us updates and pictures every day. Overall an amazing experience and I definitely would board him again with Ninfa.”
“Derek and Cheryl took great care of our aging beagle, Michelle, while we were out of town. It was short notice but they were flexible with their time friendly throughout the process of booking her stay. They provided daily photos and updates on how she was doing and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Michelle was more than happy with Derek and Cheryl’s care and so were we! Would highly recommend!”
“We have used Cesar multiple times and he is so fantastic with our dog. Our dog gets lots of exercise and we get a lot of pictures. We always have peace of mind leaving our dig with Cesar.”
“Musa took great care of our special needs geriatric pup The pictures he sent of Gizmo clearly showed a happy doggie being loved. Highly recommend Musa and will definitely request him again.”
“My dog warmed up to Renata right away when we first visited. Renata was great at sending pictures twice a day and communicating promptly every time I sent her a message. My dog seemed to have plenty of walks and playtime. She was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I would definitely use Renata again.”
“Erica and Kyle took absolutely amazing care of my dog, Rhyme. From the very beginning, it was clear how patient, attentive, and genuinely caring they both are. Rhyme can sometimes be a bit particular, but they handled everything with such calmness and understanding that it immediately put me at ease. What really stood out to me was how much love they showed toward her. It did not feel like just a service—it felt like they truly enjoyed spending time with Rhyme and treated her like their own. Kyle’s patience and Erica’s warmth made such a perfect combination, and I could tell Rhyme was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I highly, highly recommend Erica and Kyle to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate sitters. I will definitely be booking with them again and again in the future without any hesitation. They are simply the best, and I am so grateful to have found them.”
“Perry did great with Moo! She is very attentive and sent us lots of photos every day, all of which indicated that Moo was very comfortable and calm - a big deal for a dog with anxiety! Definitely a testament to how great of a sitter Perry is. Perry also managed a course of ear drops for us when we found out Moo had an ear infection the day we were scheduled to leave, which was extremely helpful! We’re very grateful to have found a sitter that made our girl so comfortable.”
“This was Blue’s second stay, and once again, we couldn’t be happier with the care he received. Thank you for taking such great care of him and treating him like part of the family. The updates and communication gave us peace of mind while we were away, and it was clear that Blue was comfortable, happy, and well loved. We truly appreciate everything you did for him and would absolutely book with you again.”
“Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!”
“Jill is amazing. Our dog gets serious anxiety around new people or surroundings and by the second night she had him sitting with her and calmed down. We loved her daily updates with pics and videos and what really stands out is that she loves these pups. We hope we can get time with her again. Highly recommend.”
“Leanna was an absolute delight. Our meet-and-greet prior to my pup's stay was very professional, and her calm demeanor made me feel at ease. She was extremely transparent about her schedule with the other dogs and asked all the right questions to ensure I felt comfortable leaving my baby with her for a few days. During my pup's stay, I received updates and photos, which further reassured me. Communication was always prompt. I highly recommend Leanna and her cozy home.”
“Mellie is a wonderful, kind and caring person, she took excellent care of Murray. It was the first time Murray stayed with Mellie, and she texted me whenever she had questions about him; she communicates very quickly.. It's very comforting knowing that Murray was getting such loving care while I was away. Thank you Mellie and Murray will definitely come to visit again-”
“Omar was fantastic with our two dogs during a two-week stay. He sent lots of photos throughout and kept us fully updated the entire time, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. He was consistently responsive to messages and clearly took great care of both dogs. We highly recommend Omar and will definitely book him again!”

“Christine was super punctual, took care of my baby boy, and even took care of some things around the house. 10/10 highly recommend. Would love to have her cat sit again!”
“Raquel was amazing! She stepped in on short notice and took great care of Ivy! She was very communicative and went above and beyond in treating her as if she as her own! Highly recommend!”
“I’m very thankful I had Annemarie keeping my cat company while I was away! I received so much She was very respectful of my home and fulfilled all my needs as well as my cat’s needs. I would 100% book her again!”
About: I know cats are very much on their own terms, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine they’re used to. Whether they want attention and playtime or would rather just have someone quietly keep them company, I’ll let them set the pace. I can take care of feeding, water, litter, playtime, and anything else they need while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated so you know everything’s going well!
About: I have two cats myself. One tabby cat named Blinchik and a half Siamese and half tabby named Nala. Both were adopted and taken care of with soooo much love. My partner and I love both our fur babies! Blinchik does have allergies so I have to make sure he takes his allergy medicine. Before, we administered his allergy shots but we realized they weren’t working. Nala is on sensitive stomach wet food and we feed it to her slowly because she tend to eat too fast and spits up. That being said, if your fur baby needs medicine, I can definitely administer. Nala is very cautious with people and need time to trust. If your kitty needs that, I respect cats boundaries and can recognize stress signals. I am patient and will wait for your fur baby to feel comfortable with me. I used to work for a Reggio Emilia inspired school and if you are familiar with that, you know that I have no issues with sending you pictures and messages about your baby.
“Miranda was such an awesome pet sitter she made sure to check in on my cat and dog while we were out of town making them feel comfortable. She kept me in the loop on times she was planning on going to the house to check on them.”
“Clay was absolutely phenomenal when it came to cat sitting my cat, Itty Bitty. She is typically very shy, but when Clay came over to meet her for the first time, she was immediately smitten with him. She just wanted all the love and attention, which made me feel completely at ease. Itty Bitty struggles with separation anxiety, but she had no issues while I was away. In fact, she didn’t even seem bothered by my absence because of the exceptional care she received from Clay. Clay always stayed in touch, sending frequent updates and plenty of pictures. You can truly tell that he has a good soul and genuinely cares for and loves every animal he meets. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Elle was a fantastic cat and house-sitter. She was able to navigate and manage care for both our special needs older cat and our slightly rambunctious younger cat. When we returned home, our condo looked perfect; the cats were happy, the litter scooped, and everything was in order. 10/10, I would happily trust Elle with our cats again.”
About: I’ve been cat sitting for the past 2 years. I regularly in-house sit for a variety of domestic shorthairs and have done drop-in visits for ragdolls in the past. I’ve worked with all ages of cats. I like to learn about each cat’s personality and respect their space when they want it. I am very comfortable deep-cleaning litter boxes and changing out filters on automatic water dispensers. I am most familiar with the Petlibro automatic feeders and fountains but can easily learn how to use other products as they tend to be similar!
About: I have taken care of pets fairly consistently for the last seven years, I have three pets myself and friends/neighbours have relied on me to care for their pets over the years if help is needed. Additionally, during the college school year, I work for another professional pet sitting company and have consistently recieved very positive reviews.
“Megan was very cheerful and helpful when taking care of my little kitty over the weekend! She sent cute photos and little updates about how he was doing after each visit and followed all of my instructions well! Thanks Megan :)”

About: I have been a dedicated dog lover for years, caring for a variety of breeds for neighbors, friends, and family. As a former foster parent to several dogs before adopting one, I am experienced in helping pups of all temperaments feel safe and welcome in a new environment. Since I work from home, your pet will have constant supervision and companionship. I specialize in providing personalized attention to ensure your dog follows their usual feeding and exercise routine. My own well-trained dog is a friendly playmate for social guests, but I am also happy to provide solo time if preferred. Whether it's long walks or just snoozing by my desk, your pup will be treated like family. As a full-time work-from-home professional, my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I structure my day around frequent potty breaks, backyard play sessions, and midday walks. Because I have experience fostering, I’m great at maintaining a consistent routine that helps guest pets feel secure. Whether your dog needs a high-energy game of fetch or a quiet place to nap while I work, I can easily adapt my day to meet their specific needs. Safety is my top priority. I have a fully fenced, secure yard where dogs can play safely under my supervision. As I work from home and have fostered many dogs, I have developed expertise in monitoring pet interactions and interpreting body language to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. At home, I take a 'paws-on' approach. I am happy to use crates for sleeping or meal times if that is what your pet is used to, or they can lounge freely in my office while I work. I treat every guest pet with the same level of care and trust I give my own well-trained pup, ensuring a stress-free stay for both you and your furry friend.
About: I've had pets my whole life and know how much it matters to leave yours somewhere you trust. Your dog will be part of the household here — not crated in a back room — with plenty of attention, a regular routine, and photo updates so you know how the day is going. A few things to know about my setup: I have a yard, but it isn't fenced, so all potty breaks and outdoor time are leashed and supervised. Never off-leash. I have one dog of my own, a friendly female Bernedoodle named Dorothy. She's good with other dogs, and I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone gets along. I work from home, so your dog won't be alone for long stretches. Comfortable with puppies, senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. For walks, I'll stick to whatever route and pace your dog is used to, and I'll let you know how it went. Happy to set up a free meet-and-greet before booking anything. My schedule is completely my own so I can tailor my day to what your dog is used to. Our usual routine is a walk/run in the morning and a walk with the whole family in the evening. Dorothy is crate trained and so can be right next to your dog to keep them company. I have a good sized yard where I can let the dogs out on leashes and a fenced in deck if they want to be outside. I live 5 minutes from an animal hospital and am used to the random ailments that come with taking care of dogs.
“For those as apprehensive as I was about entrusting our dog Islay to someone new for the first time, I’d just like to tell you that Manasi erased all of my concern, starting with our first communication with each other while I was “shopping” for first-time day care for our 10 yr old husky. Her study of animal behavior, along with the fact that she has her own beautiful dog Bear to keep visiting pups entertained, was enough to convince me that our dog was going to be in good, caring hands for the day they spent together. She gets an A+ in communication as well, staying in touch to make arrangements and learn about our dog during the weeks leading up to our visit. To top it off, I received photos of Islay during the day they spent together, which put me, an over-protective type, further at ease. I’m so thankful we “found” Manasi at Rover.com. Islay had a great day with her and your pup will, too.”
“Nandini has been an excellent dog sitter! She kept us updated with periodic photos and messages about Leo, and we could tell that he was super happy and comfortable at her place. She gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel that Leo was in safe hands, so we didn’t have to worry about him at all while we were away. Nandini is pleasant, welcoming, caring, and very easy to work with. We truly appreciate the wonderful care she gave Leo and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my calm, patient, and gentle approach to each dog. I pay close attention to their body language, needs, and comfort. I'm especially good with puppies who need gentle guidance and basic training, as well as with older dogs who require more leisurely walks, extra care, and a loving, comforting presence. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with the same kindness, respect, and affection I would want for my own. I recently moved and have free time since I have online classes during the week on alternate schedules, so I have time to play with your little ones and shower them with warmth and attention. Within my family, three of them are a furry friend named Balu who is 7 years old, a cat named Copito who is 6 years old, and a kitten named Lucas who is 5 years old. I am used to taking care of them and keeping them under constant supervision, not only in their diet but also in their physical and emotional well-being.
“My dog Luna has been to daycare with Cesar several times now and she looks forward to going and comes back happy and tired! She loves their dog Jasper and when not playing with him likes to sun herself in his big backyard. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl and sending me pictures and updates throughout the day!”
“Harlie enjoyed her stay! This was our first time with Karen. We received many updates and pictures and Harlie went on walks and was kept busy during the day. Have already rebooked for a weekend stay!”
About: I’ve been wanting to adopt a third dog, but my husband won’t let me, so doing Rover instead! I love dogs more than humans (at times), and fully believe that happy dogs make a happy home (aka they’re allowed on ALL the furniture and get ALL the love and attention 💕). I work from home full time and have a backyard, amazing walking trails, and am in short walking distance from a dog park where I go during lunch. I have a fenced in back yard and one fur babt of my own for doggos to play with! Our home is their home, so they’re welcome on the couches, beds, etc. They’re members of the family and deserve to be spoiled!

About: I treat every dog like they’re part of my family.

I limit the number of dogs I care for at once to ensure each one gets personalized attention and care.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so I’ve had years of experience caring for animals and learning how to handle different personalities and needs. I’ve dog sat before and really enjoyed it—it made me realize how much I love being around animals. I love both dogs and cats, and I feel really comfortable caring for either. I’m a trustworthy, responsible person who takes pet care seriously, whether that means sticking to routines, going on walks, or just making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, not just “watching” them. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can plan around walks, feeding times, and whatever each pet needs day to day. I’m already someone who likes staying active and being out and about, so I don’t mind making time for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m good with sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent care and attention while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and sticking closely to their normal routine, feeding, walks, meds if needed, and any specific instructions. I’m very mindful about safety, like making sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and always keeping a close eye on pets. I treat every animal like my own, so I’m really attentive to their behavior and needs. I also respect the home I’m in and keep things clean and organized. Overall, I try to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for while their owners are away.
“Keila was so amazing and patient with Ollie ! She went above and beyond to make sure Ollie was comfortable with her and he’s always tired after their walks. Highly recommend!”
“Christine took great care of Neiman. She was always on time (early even!) and at the end of her time Neiman was running downstairs to meet her. I will be sure to call her again. Thank you so very much.”
“Leah was fantastic. So communicative and helpful with giving our doggo a nice long walk and making sure she has everything she needs while we’re at work. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“Shauna is great! She walks our (very energetic) dog weekly. She is responsive, flexible and always on time. Our dog (Kyla) is skid-dish with new people but she warmed up to Shauna very quickly and is always excited to see her. Kyla comes back from her walks happy and tired - well worth it!”

About: I am a lover of all animals and I currently have my tabby cat, April. My mom is a dog walker, and through her, I’ve been exposed to dogs of all breeds and watched how she lovingly cares for them. I’ve accompanied her on countless walks during my free time and I’m very familiar with the dog walking procedures. Additionally I’ve walked and overnight cared for my sister’s 2 dogs on occasion over the years. I’m eager to learn more and build great relationships with your fur babies! I have just relocated to Charlestown and for the time being, I have full availability for dog walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting at your home. I think this will be a great way for me to explore and get acquainted with the city! When caring for your fur baby, I will carefully follow any instructions given to me regarding feeding, play time, and walking. I’ll always ensure the safety of your pet comes first, staying aware and cautious of other dogs, bikers, and traffic. Gaining their trust and giving them affection follows right behind that!
About: I’ve been around animals most of my life and some of my favorite people are Furry Ones! I’m always up for walks, visits and snuggles!

My drop-in visits are usually at least an hour, especially if there are more than just one pet. Our cat prefers to be a consistent Only Child, so bringing your pet to my house is unfortunately not an option currently. If you have them, I prefer written specific needs/directions so that there is no confusion about what your pet’s needs are.

Pet care fits into my daily routine as I care for my pets at home as well as in college for animals from local shelters. I will make sure that they are not forgotten. I will make sure they’re fed, clean, loved and hydrated. They will feel right at home!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by a variety of animals—dogs, cats, gerbils, fish, and even horses—so caring for them is second nature to me. I’m comfortable looking after multiple pets at once, and I truly believe every animal is awesome in its own way! Whether it’s a playful pup, a curious kitty, or anything in between, I love spending quality time with every pet I meet. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I don’t just “let them out” for a quick break.

I have a flexible schedule and am available everyday, morning, daytime, and in the evening. Pet sitting, boarding and walking fits seamlessly into my schedule.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including raising and training my 110lb male German Shepherd from puppyhood. He has a gentle mouth, reliably responds to his commands, and has been trained in loose leash heel walking and attentive manners. I’m comfortable providing walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I understand the importance of following each dog’s individual routine and needs.

I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and routine.

“Tatiana took care of my dog very well. She stayed for 6 days and I received her photo every day with other boarding dogs, I was very well informed. She took care of her daily routines and I would highly recomend her.”
“Parker really enjoyed her stay with Andrew and his family! She came home very happy and relaxed. Andrew was a great communicator, sharing lots of updates and cute pictures. He made sure she was comfortable at all times and ensured she was okay sleeping on the first level when she showed apprehension at the stairs. As an experienced dog-owner, Andrew was confident regarding Parker's specific care instructions and ensured she had all her meds and food. I am looking forward to booking Andrew again, I know Parker will be excited to spend more time there!”
“Amazing home! Alana’s setup is great for a dog that wants some variety in setting and some dog friends. 10/10 would use again. I loved the photos of my dog. I’m biased though :)”
“Carla and her family are simply the best. We are incredibly fortunate to have them care for G when I’ve been unavailable. They keep me updated with photos and videos and I can see the love and care they put into their business. Very grateful ♥️❤️♥️”
“We can’t say enough great things about Ron. He took such great care of our dog, sending multiple pictures each day. It was very clear that our pup was well cared for and loved while we were away. Thank you Ron!”
“Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!”
“The best Rover dog sitter we've had to this date: Attention, Care, Photos, Contact - in all aspects, a great sitter. We highly recommend Frankie! Thank you, Frankie!”
“My first time using Rover and Joyce was very helpful throughout the whole booking process. She is also very quick to respond to messages and communicate with. Joyce did a great job watching Riley while we were out of town for a few days. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures she sent. Riley looked very happy and comfortable in all the pictures. I highly recommend Joyce!”
“We are so happy to have found Byamba and his family to board our dog, Rex. He was super responsive when booking, even though it was only a week before our trip. When I dropped Rex off, I could tell that Byamba was an experienced dog watcher. He was amazing with sending updates and pictures, so we felt super confident that Rex was well cared for. Highly recommend, and will definitely be using him again for future travel.”
“Deborah and Leanne (and Lotus!) took wonderful care of our Vader this past weekend! They were super accommodating and communicative. They sent updates and photos of Vader enjoying his stay. For the holiday, they even dressed him in a festive bandana and treated him to pup cups and puppy ice cream! We will definitely book with their family again.”
“This was 100% the BEST dog care experience we have ever had. The family and I mean family as everyone loved on our Maggie and made her feel cared for during her entire stay. Our travel plans changed and got extended due to cancelled flights and the family made us not only feel relaxed about it but let us know Maggie is welcome for the extended stay and not a burden. We had numerous photos and stories shared daily and out dog looked SO happy in each photo. We could NOT recommend this Rover more and am so glad we took a chance by booking her as she builds up her reviews and is newer to this platform. Thank you again for loving on our Maggie this past week!”
“Andrea and Mike were wonderful sitter for Max. Max was really happy and looked really healthy. We were happy to find them and looked forward to see them again!”
“Denise is fantastic. Reliable, friendly, and my dog loves her. She has a great backyard for the dogs to run around. Denise is my go to person whenever I am out of town for an extended period and need reliable care for my dog.”
About: “I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’ve personally raised three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive—I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands.” “I work a 9–5 during the week, but I’m available for evening visits, as well as overnight care. Weekends are wide open for more flexible scheduling, whether your pet needs extra attention, longer walks, or extended stays.” “I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. Safety is always a priority. I’m mindful about leashes, doors, and surroundings during walks, and I keep a clean, calm environment in the home. I’m also experienced with administering medications if needed. I know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention and care. I make sure they feel relaxed and at home, with plenty of time for play, rest, and affection.”
