“Alyssa did a terrific job watching my pups while I was away. She provided consistent feedback regarding the pups and was extremely responsive at every stage of the process. I came home to happy pups and a spotless home.”
“Stephanie was an exceptional pet sitter! She was communicative and friendly and my kitten loved her. She sent adorable pictures and kept me up to date on how each day was going. I was very nervous to leave my young kitten for my trip, but Stephanie made me feel confident in his care. Thank you, Stephanie!!”
“Anastasia was amazing with my 13-year-old labradoodle. Great communication and the best pics. So nice to have this confidence when I have to leave, knowing my dog is taken care of.”
“Stacy was superb! We had a last minute need due to our flight getting cancelled and Stacy was very communicative and flexible during a moment of a lot of stress. My pups were very well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. My house was well taken care of as well. Would definitely book her again in the future.”
About: Hello! My name is Kayala, and I am a college student from Somerville, Massachusetts. I have been cat sitting for the past seven years and have had cats and bunnies my entire life. I have multiple regular cat sitting clients in the Somerville, Cambridge, Boston area that I have maintained through the years. I am a friendly and trustworthy person, and I make sure to treat pets with respect and love while also taking care of all of their needs. I have a cat in Somerville named Violet, and a bunny named Loretta who stays with me in my dorm during the school year. I'm known for loving my pets more than anything, and have tattoos for both of them! They are my girls, and my most divine companions. I deeply understand the strength of the bond between you and your kitties <3. I know it can be stressful to leave your kitties in the care of a stranger, but I make sure to send photos and updates! I am also happy to meet with you in person, learn about any special care instructions and preferences, and make sure you and your kitties are comfortable. I am an excellent pet snuggler (known for making cats, dogs, goats, and pigs fall asleep in my arms!), but am also always very aware of an animal's body language. It is so important to respect their boundaries! I have experience giving oral medication, inhalers, critical care (liquid food for rabbits), and subcutaneous injections. I am in Somerville for holidays and school breaks (summer and winter), where pet care is a prioritized commitment for me. I take same day bookings, as long as I am in town! I have extensive experience with cat sitting and have been running my "business" independently for the past seven years in the Boston area. I am the sole caregiver for my bunny, Loretta, and have had bunnies and cats my entire life. When I stop by for my visits, I give attention for a minimum of 25 minutes and meet them where they are. If they want to cuddle, I am open arms! If they want to play, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. If they are scared of my new presence, I will sit thoughtfully and move at their pace to make them as comfortable as possible. I always send photos and updates to pet parents when I see their babies!
“Marcus was wonderful with my GSD Izzy! She took to him immediately and he showered her with attention to her unabashed delight. He was prompt, reliable and responsive.”
“Jean and Tom L. House sitting - August 15, 2025 Five Stars. Lauren was outstanding. She took exceptional care of Our Bischone, Rosie. It was the first time we had a non-family member watch our dog. Rosie is very skittish and anxious around people she does not know. However, Lauren took great care to set Rosie at ease. We highly recommend Lauren and are planning to book her again.”
“Amanda is a five star house and pet sitter. She dealt with my animals with patience and love. My dog has occasional anxiety and Amanda took great care of her and my cats. She also sent great updates and photos every day! I will absolutely be booking her again.”
“Tam was amazing! He got constant updates and photos. She was thoughtful and considerate at every single turn. We also really appreciated her honesty and ability to ask questions!”
“Alice is the absolute best- she went far and above our expectations when she stayed in our apartment with our pitty mix Marshall. She sent pictures from every walk she gave him and from their cuddles on the couch- it really helped put our minds at ease that Marshall was safe, taken care of, and was having fun while we were on vacation. In addition to caring for Marshall, Alice washed, dried, AND folded the dirty laundry we left in the washer. She also completely washed, dried, and folded the towels and bedding she used. She even made the bed with the clean sheets! We didn't expect that from her, but it really eased our return to normal life- not having to wash the bedding and make the bed. She left a handwritten note detailing her weekend with Marshall and how much fun they had together. We will definitely work with Alice again!”
“My family could not have asked for a better person than Heaven to stay and care for our dog. Heaven brought us peace of mind while we were away as she is extremely professional, kind, caring, responsible and attentive. I received updates and pictures and our house looked untouched when we returned home. If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, I would!”
“Sam was wonderful with my shy, anxious pup. Sam took it slow and Fern really warmed up to her. I got a very detailed report from Sam at the end of the weekend. I came home to a happy pup & a spotless home.”
“Aubrey went above and beyond caring for our six month old lab puppy, taking him out and about, to the dog park, and playing with him at home. Even when our flight home was delayed, she stayed and cared for him until we returned. She also left our apartment spotless! Would highly recommend her.”
“Ilse was wonderful watching our pets - particularly our anxious dog - over Fourth of July weekend. Super communicative and comfortable giving our pup meds. Even noticed our plants were getting scorched in the heat and needed some refreshment! Will definitely inept be calling her in the future.”
“Jamie is an absolute lifesaver. She watches Maui most days while I’m at work, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my dog. She’s attentive, patient, and genuinely loves her, which shows in how happy and relaxed Maui is around her. She was even able to cut Mauis nails and brush her teeth which is literally a miracle considering Maui doesn’t allow anyone to do it (including me). Knowing Maui is cared for by someone so responsible and kind gives me total peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful to have her as both a roommate and someone Maui adores.”
About: I have experience sitting for a variety of dogs and cats, and have developed a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and attentiveness when it comes to pet care. I’m comfortable following specific routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering basic care, and I always make sure pets are safe and comfortable in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, so I can adjust to their energy level whether they love long walks and playtime or prefer a calmer, more relaxed environment. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands! I look forward to creating a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners! I recently graduated from Northeastern University, and now I am working part time at a physical therapy clinic. From May through the end of July, I am fully available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I work part-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; however, I am available for walks after 3:30 PM on Fridays! Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I am committed to providing consistent attention, exercise, and reliable care for your pets! I will also be attending physical therapy school in the fall, and I am using Rover as a way to help support my graduate education while continuing to do something I love: Caring for animals! I always prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in any environment. I carefully follow all instructions you provide, such as feeding routines, walk routes, medication (if needed), or any other specific preferences your pet has. For walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times and stay aware of our surroundings to keep them safe. I adjust the pace and length of walks based on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs to ensure they stay comfortable. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets get not only the essentials like food, water, and bathroom breaks, but also attention, playtime, and companionship. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can create a calm, positive experience. I’m also very respectful of your home and will keep everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Masi did an amazing job watching out wheaten terrier, Trigo! He hasn't had many dog sitters so he tends to be a little jumpy and nervous at first but Masi knew exactly how to calm him down and make sure he was comfortable. We loved getting the video and photo updates and felt confident that Trigo was in the best of care. Thanks so much!!”
Wellington-Harrington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Uma was wonderful! I was so worried about leaving my dogs for a longer period of time, but I felt a million times better knowing they were in such good care. She sent regular updates and kept us in the loop, and she was patient and accommodating with the time difference. We will absolutely book her again.
Thanks so much for caring for the little guy! Your observation that his incontinence happened mostly when he was excited/just before a walk was very helpful to his vet. Appreciate you coming through and I was so happy when he saw you and started jumping around the lobby. Hope he wasn't too much trouble, and again, thanks for taking such good care of Pedrito!
Jamie is the best. He is very communicative, kind, caring, and professional. My dog had specific feeding requirements prescribed from the vet, and Jamie followed the program to a T. He sent pictures multiple times a day, and left the apartment in a better state than we left it. I feel very lucky to have a pet sitter like Jamie. He is top notch and I will definitely be booking him again in the future.
Amanda was the best you can find. My cat actually peed on bed because of new people coming in, but she even helped me wash and dry them and fold everything for me to use later, yeah that’s how considerate she is. She knows cats well, their behavior, their personalities…You can trust her to take care of your cat for sure!
Kelly was fantastic! Our pup had the best time with her. She was very communicative and accommodating, keeping us posted on their day and how Boomer was doing. She was professional and punctual and checked in with us when she had questions. Couldn’t recommend her enough!
Kimberly took phenomenal care of Kyrie once again. She was super punctual and detailed with daily updates and photos, worked some absolute wizardry on deshedding Kyr's undercoat, and truly left the house in better shape than it's ever been with me. Both Kyrie and I look forward to having her back again!
Katie was wonderful with Topanga! Even though our schedule changed and she didn’t get to spend as much time with her as originally planned, she was incredibly flexible, kind, and understanding. During the time they were together, Katie was genuinely caring and attentive. She was polite and professional with us, and most importantly, loving with Topanga. Our girl instantly gravitated toward her, which says a lot! We would absolutely recommend Katie and would be happy to have her care for Topanga again.
So grateful Leah was able to make a last-minute booking request work. Leah was on time, organized, and great with my cat Louie, who can be a little ball of stress if I'm not home during his evening routine. Louie did so well while I was gone, since he had Leah around to keep him company. Thank you, Leah!
Kate was a great sitter who took care of my senior (19) kitty with special needs requiring daily medication and lots of attention, as well as my four backyard chickens! She left the house clean and even washed the sheets she slept on. She was very responsive and communicative with me throughout the whole four day house sitting visit. I would recommend her as your next sitter.
Priya was absolutely amazing. Great communicator, caretaker, and just thoughtful all around. She took such great care of our cat Kilo and sent us daily updates with photos for the week we were out. Kilo took to her the second she walked through the door. Not only did she take such great care of Kilo, she was also so thoughtful while house sitting. We were so lucky to find Priya on rover. I highly recommend her!! 💕 She’s a cat whisperer.
