“I could tell when we arrived home that Devon had taken really good care of Paco while we were away. It reassuring to know you're leaving your dog with some who really likes him, and vice versa.”

“Words can not express my gratitude. I am eternally thankful. Donna becomes one of my family. My animals loved her and wanted to be around with her. I have 4 cats and one dog. Two cats are very sick. One with a heart murmur and another with diabetes and pancreatic abcess. They need constant care, medications, insulin shots, and heart murmur shots twice a day. I thought we would never find anyone willing to be with 5 animals and take care of sick cats with medications and shots 24/7. But , luckily, we found Donna. She retired pharmacists, and she did everything like most animal caretakers would not. Make no reservation. Donna is simply the best. We couldn't possibly even dream about anyone can handle this with such a care and dedication. We have contacted many Rover Stars, but they didn't even come close to our very complicated demands, but Donna not just did what she was ased for but exceeded all our expectation. She is the dream come true for any cats or dog owners!”

“Caroline H. was great! I really appreciated that she reached out a few days in advance so I felt confident there would be no hiccups on the start date. I also appreciated that she stripped the bed and started the washing machine with her sheets and towels before we came home. She was understanding when, after the wedding, I was delayed and my brother and his wife arrived back at the house before me. But most importantly, I could tell she treated our dog well while were were away!”

“Nicole helped me out in a big way while I was away at a wedding! I got adorable pictures of my pup and was very happy to hear she took the time to let her warm up. Will definitely rebook with Nicole again, highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive caring for your pets while you’re away. I also spent time volunteering at an animal shelter when I was younger, which helped me become even more comfortable around animals with different personalities and temperaments. I enjoy spending time with animals and always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I offer flexible weekday and weekend availability for dog walks and drop-in visits and currently service the MetroWest area, including Framingham, Wayland, Natick, and nearby towns. Pet parents looking for weekly walks are always welcome as consistent schedules really help pets feel comfortable and at ease. For housesitting, availability may be more limited depending on the pet’s schedule and care needs. I’m best suited for pets that can be left alone for a few hours at a time. If a date appears unavailable on my calendar, feel free to reach out anyway, as I may still be able to accommodate depending on the time and location. I treat every pet with care, compassion, and patience. I have my own cat and grew up in a family of dog lovers, so animals have always been an important part of my life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, prioritize safety on walks, and make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I am comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, routine, and personality to make sure they are comfortable and happy. I am reliable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as a student because I keep a consistent schedule and have dedicated time before and after classes for walks, visits, and feeding. I’m also usually more flexible on weekends, which allows me to spend extra time with pets. Since I enjoy being around animals and staying active, taking care of pets is something that easily fits into my day. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, taking them on walks, and making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I also make sure they have a clean, safe, and calm environment where they can feel relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they need extra exercise, quiet time, or lots of affection, and I always keep owners updated so they know their pet is in good hands.
“Alana was great! She stayed at our home for a week while we were away and cared for our boxer and other assorted small animals. She gave thorough updates daily, and we returned home to a happy pup and and clean and well cared for house. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Natalie was AMAZING and handled my very stubborn dog with so much love and patience, and kept me updated and in the loop with lots of great photos every day. She really went above and beyond taking care of my dog!”


“ROSE D Is wonderful, fabulous and dependable. She took great care of our little Pookie with no problems at all. I look forward to seeing her again whenever we travel without Pookie. I did not even have to worry at all as I did with previous sitters. We love Rose”

“Amy took such wonderful care of Roux. She was kind, attentive, and super communicative, which made us feel completely at peace while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her.”

“Sara was amazing! Our 11 month old Violet loved her immediately. We asked her short notice, to stay a few extra hours and she was super accommodating and responsive. Can't say enough positive things about our experience. Will definitely use again!”

“Tricia was fabulous! Our dogs loved her. She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She left our house spotless, took the dogs for long walks which they loved, and kept us updated with texts and photos. We were delayed getting home due to a blizzard, and she could not have been more flexible or helpful. Cannot recommend enough!”


“Laura took care of our 5 year old yorkie for 8 nights while we were out of the country. This was the first time leaving Isla at home with someone who was not a family member. It gave me peace of mind having Laura encourage me to send her the notes I wrote up ahead of time so she could read up on Islas quirks and communication style. She was very respectful of my need to pass along information to assuage my anxiety. Laura was extremely conscientious regarding my requests of Islas routine and our home. She showered love on her while following her cues around exercise given the high temperatures. I could tell Isla was very happy in all the photos Laura sent. Being a Yorkie, Isla is a real lap dog who loves physical contact and I knew Laura was more than meeting her needs. Even with the time difference, our communication was smooth and consistent. As happy as Isla was to have us home, I can tell she’s missing Laura.”

“Caroline is a total superstar! We hired Caroline to watch our puppy, Rogers, over Super Bowl weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rogers is a high-energy ball of hyper puppy power, but Caroline handled them like a seasoned pro. Here’s why they are the best: Punctuality: Caroline actually arrived early to make sure they had the lay of the land before we left. Communication: They were incredibly easy to coordinate with and super responsive from start to finish. Peace of Mind: We loved the frequent photo updates and check-ins! It was so reassuring to see Rogers having a blast while we were out. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and great with energetic dogs, book Caroline. Rogers is already looking forward to their next "vacation" with Caroline!”

“Devika was prompt and personable and connected with my dog immediately. She kept me updated on his well-being and was great to work with. I had to unexpectedly find someone to watch my dog while I was out and was very lucky to find her.”

About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.
“Isabella is amazing! She got back to us so fast and was willing to watch Cali last minute for us for 6 days. This was our first time leaving Cali with someone other than family and you could tell by all the photos Cali had the best week! She was so loved and cared for! Isabella sends photos/updates daily that gave us confidence Cali was in the best hands. We already have plans to have Isabella watch Cali again soon! Highly highly recommend Isabella, would give 10 stars if we could!”


About: Hi! I am Grace. I am a student at the University of Notre Dame looking to make some extra money in preparation for my time at school. I have a dog at home so I understand what the animals need and how much they mean to their owners. I am so excited to meet your lovely animals! 🤗 I love to spoil pets as if they are my own! I have experience caring for pets ranging from puppies to senior dogs to cats to horses. I am a full time student and love to pet sit during my time at home. Thus meaning I have a lot of availability any day to both walk and care for your sweet animals!!
“Charlene is great. She took better care of Puck and than I do. Responsible. Firm but incredibly kind to my dog. I am confident she can handle any situation that could come up”

Sonya was an incredibly kind, caring, trustworthy and responsible care giver for my dog [a 75 pound yellow lab] and my house. She was very easy to coordinate with and provided confidence that my dog would be well taken care of while we were away. Sonya sent up photos and updates throughout making our trip that much more enjoyable. Thank you Sonya - I would highly recommend her and can't wait to reach out to her again.
