“Yick-hong was great with my cats! They were reliable and attentive and would absolutely recommend. I received daily updates and plenty of photos to keep my mind at ease while I was away. I will likely be working with Yick-hong again in the future!”


“This was my first time using Rover, and immediately after moving to a brand new area. I had fears about both, but Rilee alleviated all my concerns! She understands dogs and gives them the utmost care. Additionally, she's so empathetic to the owner, checking in frequently with thorough updates (and pics). I couldn't have asked for a better person to watch after my princess! ^_^ Nymeria and I both made a new friend with Rilee. I can't recommend her any higher!”

“So grateful that we were able to find Caroline last minute! She was attentive and did a great job of taking care of our cat. We appreciate the pictures that Caroline sent and are looking forward to having her over again!”

About: (she/her) I’m a relaxed and detail-oriented person who is excited to meet you and your pet! I love animals and will make sure yours gets the best care when you can’t be there. I have grown up around dogs most of my life, including two deaf and partially blind Aussies. Each pet has their own personality, habits (good and bad), and routines. I look forward to getting to know your pet and what you want to see for them each day to stay active, engaged, and healthy. I regularly dogsit for close friends for a week or more at a time and I’m well-attuned to local hazards to watch out for, such as the reactive dog in the neighborhood, salt on the sidewalks, and trash in the street. I do work a full-time job. While my schedule is hybrid and somewhat flexible to add in local walks or drop-in visits, my Rover profile is primarily set up for occasional weekend stays. I’m happy to coordinate with you on a case-by-case basis to figure out what works best for daily visits or a longer house stay. I have great attention to detail and am willing to learn each pet’s unique needs and routines. I have lived with and around many pets over the years and I understand the level of attention it takes to keep everyone safe, out of trouble, and happy.

“Carol does a wonderful job caring for our senior pup and two guinea pigs. This is the second time she's watched them while we've traveled. Carol is fantastic giving the animals care and attention, including medicating our dog two times a day.”
“Jessica was great! Booked a drop-in with short notice. She was responsive, flexible, and showed a care and understanding for my pooch's well-being as well as any concerns I had”

“Alyson was fantastic! She accommodated for an extra pup on short notice. She handled nut job Isla and another visiting puppy who are bananas together. Made sure they pottied and was very responsive ! Thank you!”

“Great communication amidst holiday craziness and last minute changes to my plans due to unexpected illness on my part. Will be happy to work to Sue again in the future.”

“Stephanie is super friendly, reliable, and punctual. She has looked after my cat Musya several times already and it was a great experience. Will definitely book again!”

“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.”
“Ilana was an amazing cat sitter to our two cats. One of them required medical attention unexpectedly and she was so supportive and communicated with us every step of the way. She went above and beyond, even gathering extra supplies as the cats needs changed. Our family was so grateful that we had such great cat care while we were traveling internationally.”

“Cassie was dependable and on time. She did great with my dogs. I will be hiring her for future pet sitting needs-- although I don't travel often, it is nice having a trusted pet sitter when needed. Highly recommend!”

“Peaches, my little old Yorkie, took to Jess immediately and they enjoyed a nice walk in the neighborhood. I appreciated her promptness in arriving on time, and her photo that she took of Peaches. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a child. I have experience walking and pet sitting for dogs from puppies to adults and seniors. I am in the process of looking for a new job, which means that I currently have availability late morning to late evenings most days. I take safety very seriously. I make sure to follow any directions you leave behind. I only let dogs off leash in fenced in areas, and even then only with the owners permission. I make sure dogs and cats are safely indoors before I leave - and crate them if that is requested.

“Kristina was wonderful! I needed a sitter fast, and in quick order, she met me at an initial consultation and provided terrific care for my Luma. I definitely recommend!!”


About: I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old. With the 16 years of experience with cats, I believe every fur baby needs a home away from home. Like with every pet parent, I strive for the best with my cat. If you choose me to watch your fur baby, I will provide the best and safest environment for them. Do they need a room to themselves? You got it. Has explosive diarrhea? I have cleaning supplies. Medical issues? Another way to keep me on my toes. I hope you consider me as a prospective aunt to your kitter cat or doggo and can’t wait to fill up my camera role with adorable pictures. I look forward to hearing from you 💕 I am a grad student at Brandeis University. My classes are usually over by 2 pm, so after then I’m usually at my apartment caring for my cat and completing schoolwork. So needless to say, I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule for your pets individual needs. If I am doing home visits, I would like to visit the clients home a day or two prior to the arranged visit(s) to understand the animals needs and to see if we would be a good fit. I believe it is important to establish an understanding with the animal in question before I frequent the premises so there isn’t any unnecessary stress for your pet. In regards to boarding, I have a medium sized apartment that would be good for any cat or small-medium dog. There are multiple grassy areas for bathroom breaks and walks around the premises. You will have to provide me with your animals usual schedule (times for bathroom breaks, when and how much time are committed to walks, feeding times, etc.) so I can build my set around them and their needs
“Had a pre meeting prior to the visits to get to know us and make sure we are a good fit. Appreciated that. Highly recommend Traci. She is wonderful. Provided feedback, photos and was consistent. Thanks will use her again.”


About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a child. My childhood dog was named Izzy and now I’m a proud dog mom to my big boy named Chowder! I am also a human mom to a toddler. I love on your pets like they are my kids! Joining Rover to have the opportunity to get some fresh air and exercise with your furry loves. I’m excited to offer pet walking and visits mid-day, in the evenings, and on weekends! I love making your life easier by providing loving care for your pets. I’m a scientist and a mom. Give me your to-do list, do’s and don’ts, and know I will have it all covered down to the last detail. I will care for your pets in your home like they are mine!
“Kathleen did a great job of caring for our elderly cat while we were on vacation and even learned how to administer the subcutaneous fluids he needs for his kidney disease. Most of all, she made sure to give him lots of love and attention.”

“Melissa took excellent care of our two kitties while we were away for vacation! She not only gave them plenty of attention and cuddles, but also worked to keep our place tidy. I would ask her to take of our kitties again in a second!”

Cassie is a wonderful sitter for my 2 senior kitties. One needs daily medicine and she was great with him. He can be very elusive because of it but she was thorough and persistent in finding him every time! They were healthy and happy when we returned from an extended trip. She was a pleasure to work with and I definitely recommend her.

Alyson was great - recommend to anyone!! She came over ahead of time before the stay to meet my kitty and get all the instructions. I knew Mallie would be in good hands while I was away. Alyson was communicative, punctual and provided lots of photos and updates :)

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Ilana did once-a-day visits for three weeks, and the peace of mind she gave us was priceless. Our cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly so well cared for when we returned home. She kept everything spotless, made sure their routines stayed consistent, and sent thoughtful updates that truly reassured us while we were away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about animals, and our cats absolutely adored her. We would trust her again in a heartbeat.
