“Rebecca communicated well before we met and throughout the weekend, as well as provided adorable photos and updates during her visits. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”


“Yingzi was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my cats and was incredibly thorough and attentive throughout the entire stay. She left extremely detailed Rover cards after every visit, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She cleaned their food and water bowls and scooped the litter every time, and everything was so clean and orderly when I got home. Most importantly, my cats were happy and clearly very well cared for! I would absolutely recommend Yingzi and would be very happy to book with her again!”

“We are thrilled we found Alyssa! It's clear she puts a lot of care into pet sitting. She put us at ease while we were on vacation for a week. She took care of our cat, played with her and gave her food. She communicated the appropriate amount and even took care of our cat's throw up. We appreciated the daily reports and photos. We will definitely book her again. :)”

“Amanda was amazing!! All updates were thorough and she took so many good pictures, she spent lots of time playing and cuddling with our cat, who clearly loved her too :) highly recommend!!!”

“Sasha did an absolutely wonderful job with my kitties during my first trip out of town! She was easy to reach and work with, learned each of my pets’ individual needs and personalities, and kept them happy and entertained. She sent tons of cute pics and updates and when one of them had a minor vomit-sesh, she cleaned up no worries and just let me know after. Totally recommend her services!”

“Eleanor was so thoughtful while watching my cat. She started with a meet & greet to make sure things would go smoothly and then gave great updates so I knew how every visit went and the care could be adjusted as needed. I came home to a happy and healthy pet. Thank you!”

About: Dogs have a special place in my heart. I’ve spent the last 6 years raising and training my own dog from puppyhood into a well-mannered adult, and I recently rescued another puppy who I am doing the same with. I’m very comfortable with everything from potty training to socialization and routines. I understand how important consistency, safety, and communication are, and I treat every pet like my own while respecting your wishes and routine. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and a very loved on puppy when you get home. I’m currently working virtually so I have a lot of time on my hands for your best friends! I’m open to be flexible to your needs. When pets stay with me, I try to make things feel as close to “home” as possible. I follow your routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and I’m big on safety as well. I build in a mix of exercise and quiet time so pets feel calm and comfortable. I also make an effort to send regular photo updates so you always know how your bff is doing! When I’m caring for pets in their own space, I respect your home and your rules. I keep to your schedule, tidy up food/litter areas, and make sure everything is exactly how you left it. I pay attention to behavior and appetite, watch for anything out of the ordinary, and give plenty of love while you’re away. You can expect clear communication, check-ins, and honesty from me!
“Was incredibly attuned to my lil anxious Winston, provided consistent helpful feedback & was just overall a perfect pet sitter for my baby boy! I was nervous using rover for the first time, and Rachel exceeded my expectations & went above and beyond. Will be working with her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life! Growing up with 2 dogs & 2 cats, working as a dog walker all through high school and college, and now being a proud cat mom of 2, I’m well versed with caring for animals! I also have experience administering medicine to cats, and giving daily inhalers as I do have an asmathic cat myself. I really understand the anxieties that come with leaving a pet, and will make sure they are well cared for, played with, and provide thorough updates & photos! I work from home and have a flexible work schedule, plus I have a car so getting to your home to care for your pets easily fits into my routine. I will treat your home as my own! I’m happy to take care of house sitting duties as well, like bringing in mail, taking out trash, watering plants- I can even feed your sourdough starter! I also will commit to fast response times, and prompt updates + photos!
“Thomas & Emma watched our puppy for 3 days which included 2 drop in visits per day. They were incredibly attentive, trustworthy and communicative. They even went above and beyond given the snow to have paw fits and pad balm to help goose in the snow/ice. Would rebook their service in a heartbeat!”

About: I've always loved dogs! When I left home for college, I adopted my first one and by the time i graduated I ended up with 3! All of them are mutts and range from 75lbs to 35lbs. My oldest one is about 4 and weighs 75lbs and is a pit lab mix, I'm use to the high energy and burst of energy and also just laying around being a couch potato. My other two are also very much bursts of energy and then couch potatoes who love cuddles and naps! I moved to the Cambridge area recently and my apartment doesn't allow pets at the moment and therefore, my pups are at home and I am missing the wagging tails and walks! I am very experienced with high energy dogs and just being there with them, allowing them to play! I have experience with puppies (since I recently adopted one a year ago and trained her) and have the patience to care for them as well! For the past 4 years I've gained a lot of experience with having my own, and now not having them around me is making me sad and I think being able to share my love with another dog in the area would make my day and a dog waggy :) I work full time from 9-5 however I have time in the morning prior to work and after to do pet care. As well as on the weekends when needed :) I have crates for my dogs, because it provides a space for them but also a piece of mind for me when I am not around! I am comfortable with crating a dog and walking them on leash due to the safety of the animal.

“This was our second time booking with Gabi and just like last time, she took such great care of our girls! She was so mindful about making them as comfortable as possible that when one of my cats was feeling a bit shy, Gabi gave her a treat to reintroduce herself. Love the thoughtful and carefulness that Gabi has when checking in on my cats. Will be my go-to sitter from now on!!”


“Lulu took amazing care of our cat and provided detailed updates after each visit along with pictures and videos while feeding, giving insulin injections, cleaning up after, and spending time with Callie. We look forward to booking with her again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 8 years of dog-sitting experience and 5+ years of being a dog owner myself. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely love. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs a relaxing day at home, lots of playtime, or long walks, I’m here to provide reliable and attentive care tailored to their needs. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors, so if your dog loves fresh air and long walks, we’ll get along great! I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly. Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care every step of the way. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I work just 8 minutes from home, so I’m able to come back in the afternoons to walk and check in on any canine friend. I also spend my mornings and evenings outside on long walks, and I’d love for your dog to join! Because of my schedule, dogs are never left alone for more than about 4 hours at a time. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and time outdoors throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and secure. I follow each dog’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or any specific instructions—to help them feel at home. I never leave dogs alone for more than about 4 hours, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and outdoor time every day. I’m always attentive to their behavior and needs, and I keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime to ensure their safety. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I aim to keep everything as consistent as possible for your pet. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet will always be treated with the same care, attention, and love as my own.
About: Hello, I’ve been on rover for a year and a halfbuilding clientele. Most of my recurring dogs are between the ages of 1 and 11. Mostly just dog walking, or drop-in visits. Currently working full-time from 9-5 therefore my availability is mostly open on weekday evenings, anytime after 6pm. My weekend schedule is flexible and available in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I’ll send pictures throughout the walk as a way to provide updates and confirm safety of your pet. An after-visit summary will be provided afterwards.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in West Cambridge is $25

Michael took on our last minute request for a >1 week booking, was flexible to accomodate our schedule for the meet and greet, and frequently visited for much longer than we booked him for. And most of all, he took excellent care of our cat Loki. Would definitely book again :)

Yingzi was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my cats and was incredibly thorough and attentive throughout the entire stay. She left extremely detailed Rover cards after every visit, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She cleaned their food and water bowls and scooped the litter every time, and everything was so clean and orderly when I got home. Most importantly, my cats were happy and clearly very well cared for! I would absolutely recommend Yingzi and would be very happy to book with her again!

Sylvia did a very good job stopping by to feed and give medication to my cat Grace while I was away for the Labor Day weekend. She came on schedule and let me know she was there both with a notification/message and a cute picture of Grace. I really appreciate Sylvia’s excellent communication and her reliability. I would definitely use her again to care for Grace!

Allison was great with Sir (our cat)! I could tell from her pictures and updates that he was well taken care of and got lots of playtime. He did not seem under-stimulated and lonely when we returned the way he has sometimes with past sitters. Allison was very responsive and followed our care instructions closely. Would definitely book again.

Samichya and her husband were fantastic caretakers for my two beagles. They were wonderfully communicative throughout the stay, always quick to respond, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I came home to happy pups and a house left in great shape. Highly recommend their care.
