“Kauai is the best! She took very good care of my 10year old black lab while I’ve been out of the country. Her communication is the best and she was very punctual. I trusted her with my key to my place and she did great! She showed Athena so much love and took her on great walk. Best dog sitter around!”
“Allison was great to work with—very easy to communicate with and right on time. She took my boxer out for a full hour walk and brought him back happy and clearly feeling much better after taking care of his business….. twice. Would definitely book with her again! 🐶”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love all animals. I grew up with dogs and have had cats since moving into my own apartment. I love spending time with animals, walking and playing with them and would be so excited to care for your pets. I work in a restaurant so I have a flexible schedule and work non-traditional hours which makes it easier for me to visit animals during the weekdays when others may be busier with work. I also don’t mind last minute requests for walks or drop in visits for feedings! Although I cannot board animals at my apartment, I am open to caring for pets in their homes, making sure that they are safe and comfortable, feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of pats and love!

“Loved meeting William! He was so understanding about all the things we try to reinforce with our pup and followed everything we suggested. Pebbles had a lot of fun with him, and he managed her energy really well. He also gave me such detailed updates and photos! Would definitely recommend :)”
“Briana is responsive and very helpful. She was willing to do a meet and greet before the first walk and asked good questions in advance. She did a great job walking my dog and I would definitely use her again!”

West Cambridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nate was absolutely wonderful with our dog. Roo is a rescue who is very sensitive and can become overwhelmed very easily. Nate was gentle and patient in a way with her that really worked. Nate just had the right energy level and responsiveness to Roo so I could not be happier with him. I will certainly use Nate again and I highly recommend him for walking your Pet.
Andrew is a wonderful and communicative dog walker and he’s very good with Casper. He is patient and has taken the time to build a rapport with our dog who can be feisty and tug on walks. Casper loves his walks with Andrew and gets ample exercise and opportunities to relieve himself.
My pup is highly anxious around new people and Annika was incredible with caring for him and building his trust. He warmed up to her in only a few days which was a huge milestone for him, it just goes to show how knowledgeable Annika is with understanding dogs! So lucky to have found her
Liza is amazing!! She checks in ahead of time with any timing updates or questions about my pup, she considers weather and his personality and keeps me updated on what she’s thinking and how the walks go. We are so lucky we found her, my dog loves her and I feel totally confident with her walking my dog!
