I live in a spacious apartment with a nice park across the street to go for walks. I am also very respectful of other peoples spaces.

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Whether it is taking care of my own dogs or my neighbors I am an avid animal lover. Dogs bring me so much happiness and I love being able to give animals the love they deserve! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to do walks and play with your dogs. I am willing to pick up random chefs and I’m more than happy to take care of one or more dogs. I always make sure to have eyes on the dog(s) and I love finding fun activities to do with the dogs. Whether it is a hike or an enrichment activity I truly value all the time I get to spend with dogs. I make sure to follow all rules regarding dogs in and out of the house.
“Scooting is typical of Mae, inconsistent but common. Ill keep an eye on her, it could be a sign of a vaginal issue. Thanks for your help today. My train back to Boston, 30 minutes in, is heading back to NY due to an electrical issue. If this turns out to be an issue that requires me to stay in NY tonight, would you be available tomorrow AM to walk and feed them? I dont want to confirm any plans until I know what Amtrak is going to do. I’ll request the booking through Rover when I know.”
“Our cat Nell loves Claudia! Claudia agreed to stop in and check in on Nell a week before our trip, pretty much at the last minute and we are so grateful. She is easy to communicate with and takes great care of Nell.”

“Megan really went above and beyond for us! She was able to drop in on our cat with very short notice, and she did a phenomenal job. She managed to bond with our very shy cat quickly and provide her some comfort while we were away. Not only was she great with our cat, but she was detail-oriented, punctual, and communicative. Next time we are out of town and need a pet sitter, Megan will be my first choice, and she should be yours, too.”
“We needed someone to watch over our little puppy and I am happy to have found Kathleen for that! Communication was great and we were really happy with the detailed updates - super recommend!”

“Hannah is reliable and flexible with my animal’ needs. I’m so happy that she could work with me, and I will definitely check with her again when I need someone to check on my pets.”
About: Hi! I’m Allison, and I’m a rising junior at Cornell University studying Animal Science on the Pre-Veterinary track. My experience includes volunteering at a therapeutic riding center, working with farm animals, and spending time at a Fear Free certified veterinary practice. Through those experiences, I’ve learned how to read animal body language and help pets feel more comfortable in unfamiliar situations. I have a dog of my own, Percy, so I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet with someone else. I enjoy getting to know each pet and figuring out what helps them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure you receive updates while you’re away! I’m home from university for the summer, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule! I’m available most days and can work around your pet’s routine, whether that means walks or drop in visits. I’ll be in the area through mid-August and can usually accommodate weekday and weekend requests. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. Through my experience in animal care and at a Fear Free certified veterinary practice, I’ve learned how to read body language and recognize when a pet may be feeling stressed or uncomfortable. I always follow instructions closely and take the time to make sure each pet feels comfortable in my care. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“We have used Carole several times now to look after our two tuxedo cats and we cannot recommend her enough! She’s always on time, she spends a ton of time making our cats feel loved, and is just the best! Seriously, I cannot think of someone I trust more with my cats.”
“Mara is wonderful! She is the first sitter we reached out to about our puppy, and ended up being the only one! Mara offered to visit our home (free of charge) before the dates we needed her to sit our puppy so she could meet us and our puppy and get the lay of the land at our home. This made us feel so much more comfortable leaving her with our precious fur baby! Mara is great with our pup and leaves nice visit notes and pictures. We immediately booked her for another drop-in right after this and will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I’ve been caring for pets for 8 years, and nothing makes me happier than getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I work with both dogs and cats and have experience with everything from tiny puppies to slow‑moving seniors, from shy kitties to big, energetic dogs. I grew up in a family that owned two Shar‑Peis, so I’m very comfortable with stubborn, reactive, or strong‑willed breeds. I understand body language, thresholds, and how to build trust with pets who need a little extra patience. Whether your dog is still learning manners or your cat prefers a quiet observer, I meet every animal where they are. I currently have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether you need morning, midday, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home secure, and double‑check doors and gates before leaving. I’m respectful of your space and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.
“Michelle continues to be amazing to my two dogs! I was out of town and felt at ease knowing she would be checking in on them and making sure they had everything they needed, and she provided pictures and a great status update. She also was able to switch time to come a bit later last minute.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, including dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life.

I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being.

I follow all care instructions carefully and supervise pets at all times, making sure their needs are met. I also send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while away.

About: I'm an experienced dog walker, both with and without a leash. I'm confident doing drop in visits for cats and dogs. Pets love me and I love them! I'm very flexible, especially during daytime hours. I can be available evenings and weekends with more advanced notice. As long as I know your needs in advance, I can make it work. I will treat your home with care and respect, just like I would my own. I'm a clean and well organized individual. I will leave your home the way I found it.
Over 6 pet parents in Waban have booked dog sitting
Waban dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle was the absolute BEST with our little pup while we were out for a few hours. He’s just 11 weeks old, so he’s a bit needier than the standard drop in. Michelle took the challenge on willingly as a recent puppy mom herself, ensuring she understood his routine thoroughly so she could replicate it. Her kind nature, clear communication, and thorough updates helped us relax and enjoy our first real night out since bringing our puppy home. Will 100% book with Michelle again!
Alyssa was amazing for my dog and me. Highly recommend. I had a last minute business trip and she was able to drop in to save the evening and walk Louie while I was out of town. And it was her first walk with us. She knew just what to ask during the meet and greet and then again right before the walk to make it be a success for her, me and most importantly Louie! Thx!!!!
Katie took wonderful care of my puppy, Mabel, over the past few months. She walked her regularly several days a week and was always communicative. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Mabel was in such good hands. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog walker.
Kathleen saved us in a pinch. We had a change in plans about a month before a trip. We usually board our dog and use friends for cat sitting. Our dog is often not friendly to strangers so we needed a housesitter. A few other leads on Rover fell through or didn't have a car. We had a meet and greet with Kathleen and that was all it took. The 2x/day drop-ins worked perfectly and kept both animals safe and sound during a very snowy week. Kathleen is great, you won't be disappointed.
Dominik was fantastic with instructions and came to my aid in a pinch. Our puppy seemed very relaxed and confident with her. She was prompt, in time and communicative which is super important and followed all directions. I will for sure be requesting more walks with her in future.
Grace did a great job taking care of my senior cat Dagny. She is still very active, although shy, yet Grace was able to make friends with Dagny, treated her and even got to groom a bit. She followed my particular feeding instructions perfectly, and kept water filled and litter clean. Grace has quick response communication, and shared some great pics of my girl during her visit. I highly recommend Grace for her care and professionalism.
Kelly is excellent with our puppy! She is patient and had no problem following our long list of instructions /explanation of our pup’s quirks and training commands. He loves seeing her every week and we appreciate the help and reliability during our work week!
