“Michael is amazing. Very good communicator and works with me on scheduling last minute bookings. My dog Leila loves him and gets super excited to see him.”

About: I love to walk dogs of all kinds and sizes. I'm patient but also diligent. If you choose me as your dog walker, I guarantee your dog will get a good walk. I love dogs and I love walking so I thought walking dogs on the side for some extra money was a logical next step to take. I can send you photos of your pets to show you how they are doing. If there are particular requests for pet care, I'm happy to try to make those happen.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child - cats, ferrets, rabbits, you name it. In 2021, I got my first cat as an adult — a British Shorthair kitten from Russia and he is well taken care of. Many friends, clients and family members have relied on me to take care of their cats. I am a writer and was a former book publicist for the last 6 years. I’m now writing full time with pet sitting as my other job! I have a lot of flexibility and time to travel to client’s homes. I will treat your pets and home they are our my own. I have two cats that live with me in Cambridge and will always put 100% effort in to taking care of your cat.

About: I grew up caring for and feeding the neighbors cats and dogs in my teenage years. Kirby was our first indoor dog, I helped care for him through two knee surges multiple tooth extractions and into his senior years when he required special meals and extra care with respiratory and mobility issues. I've cared for cats, and dogs of varying ages. I typically never travel over the holidays and would be happy to spend time taking care of your sweet pets! I work full time but have extra time on my days off or before and after shifts to give pets the attention they need, I love to get outside wether that's walking (or in some cases pushing the stroller for your senior dog/cat) to get some fresh air and exercise. I'm happy to take them to their favorite park or just hang out and give lots of love and pets or in cases of some cats ignore them till they love me. Let me know if they have any rituals or new training your working on with them so they can have the continuity even when your not home.

About: I have tried to live life around as many animals as possible. Grew up with dogs and cats and now am a proud cat dad. I pride myself on being punctual, responsible, and caring. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends for years. Being a Rover customer has encouraged me to be the best possible sitter, walker, visitor that I could be. I respect people's boundaries and animal's boundaries as well. I would prefer to meet you and your pet before we confirm sitting or visits just to make sure everyone is comfortable(especially your pets!). I am currently working part time and have lots of available time to walk, sit, and visit your cats or dogs. I can do multiple visits per days in Somerville if need be. I would prefer to take time to meet you and your pets before booking. I fully understand the concerns of having people in your home and treat spaces like I would want my home treated. I'm happy to clean litter boxes per directions and would always put things (food, leashes, toys, etc..) back in their place as directed. if you were to be out of town and asked me to retrieve mail, monitor lights and other utilities I would do that to the best of my abilities as well. As someone who has had Rover sitters come visit my cat Pepper I appreciate that extra effort that many of them have put forth. I would also be happy to communicate all visits through the app or phones with pictures and quick updates.

About: I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy, providing patient care for senior pets, or handling unique needs like medication or special diets, I’m confident in creating a safe and happy environment. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and my commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. I’m skilled in recognizing subtle behavior changes that may signal discomfort or stress, and I’m comfortable administering medication, reinforcing training routines, and customizing care based on your pet’s unique personality. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’ll always go the extra mile to ensure they feel loved and secure while you’re away. I’m currently an undergraduate student. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am more than happy to adjust my schedule to meet your needs. Thank you for your consideration! I have plenty of experience walking dogs on a leash. I am able to crate a dog as well as give pill medication, and feed all animals.

“Cierra really helped me out when I had a last minute need for someone to walk my pup. Very responsive and nice!”

About: I love spending time with dogs, whether we're playing fetch, running, or going for walks. I'm attentive to each dog's needs, moods, and personality, and I find it incredibly rewarding to make a dog happy. Seeing a happy, smiling dog always brightens my day! My experience comes from caring for three dogs: a Golden Retriever whom I cared for from young adulthood through his senior years, a Corgi I've had since he was 10 weeks old, and a senior Australian Shepherd mix. These experiences have taught me to appreciate the unique needs of dogs at different life stages. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have a degree in Biology and have read extensively about positive reinforcement training and canine psychology. I enjoy continually learning about dogs so I can better understand them and provide attentive, compassionate care. I'm reliable, patient, and committed to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs, energy level, and personality, whether that means an energetic walk, a fun game of fetch, or a slower-paced outing with plenty of time to sniff and explore. I am generally available at any time on the weekends and a flexible weekday work schedule that I can work around to be with your pet. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each dog's personality, needs, and energy level. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while maintaining their usual routines as much as possible. I enjoy keeping dogs active through walks, running, and playing fetch, while also allowing plenty of time for sniffing, exploring, and relaxing. I'm attentive to their moods and body language so I can recognize when they need exercise, reassurance, or rest. I understand that every dog is different, and I adapt my approach to suit their age, temperament, and activity level, including the special needs of senior dogs. Having cared for a Golden Retriever from young adulthood through his senior years, raised my Corgi from 10 weeks old, and cared for a senior Australian Shepherd mix, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized attention. My Biology degree and independent study of positive reinforcement training and canine psychology further inform my approach. Above all, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and understood. I treat each pet as an individual and strive to make their time with me a happy, positive experience.

“Her first walk went well!”

Tabitha D.

“I had a great experience with Leilani! She was very attentive and communicative from the start. I really appreciated how she took the time to ask thoughtful questions to better understand my dog’s needs, personality, and routine. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Linda is an amazing addition to my ‘village’, she walks my dog when I can’t, but she also has all the big sister advice while being the sweetest best caretaker for my little doggie. Thank you Linda!”

Cynthia G.

“Laura is a great pet caretaker and I would recommend her to anyone! I booked Laura very last minute when a need came, and she filled in and did an amazing job for my two dogs. One of my dogs has reactivity and leash aggression, and Laura did a great job managing his needs and caring for him. Laura is a great communicator and sent great pictures. I would happily use her for dog walks again.”

“Darby stepped in to walk our dog when something came up last minute, and we couldn’t have been more grateful! She was flexible, communicative, and really attentive to our dogs (and cats) needs! We’re so happy we already booked her for another weekend!”

“Took great care of my dog”

Aidan B.

“I had a great experience with Hannah as a dog walker! She communicated promptly to coordinate everything and took my puppy Luna's schedule into consideration, which I really appreciated. She arrived right on time, took Luna on a nice walk, and sent lots of pictures throughout. Luna looked so happy and comfortable in every photo. It was clear she was in great hands, and I’d happily book with Hannah again!”
