“Jill is amazing! We are so lucky to have found her. We just moved to the area and didn’t have coverage for our week-long vacation. She was professional, super communicative, and kindly pretended not to notice how neurotic I am about my aging shih tzu. She is the reason we were able to enjoy our vacation, and I am grateful beyond words. We will definitely be calling Jill again. And again.”
“Super sweet and took care of my fur baby on a last min notice. We had a work trip to Miami pop up and the very next day she was here to help us with Marley.

She checked in upon her arrival and sent pictures and kept us updated on how Maisie was doing. We’d highly recommend Alyanna and have already asked her to watch Maisie in a few weeks.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small furry or reptilian! I’m comfortable with different energy levels and sizes and willing to put in the work to get to know your pet and make sure they are comfortable! I work from home with very flexible hours so I can accommodate many different schedules during business hours and throughout the rest of the day I live in an apartment so will not be caring for pets in my home, but I am very careful and thorough with all pet care instructions.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.
“Veronica is AMAZING! My dog loves her so much that when I get home after a week she acts like I only left for 2 hours. Seriously, she doesnt miss me because she enjoys her time with Veronica so much, and that's extra impressive she's a very needy and anxious dog. Veronica always sends pictures and updates while I'm gone to give me peace of mind. My dog is epileptic and requires medication daily, and I never have to worry about missed doses. She's so kind and sweet, and she will treat your pets and home with all the love and respect in the world. You won't regret leaving your babies with her!”
“Matt did a great job with my dogs! He took good care of the house as well. He was also very flexible as I originally booked him for July but then had a change of plans and luckily he was available in August! Would definitely recommend him!”
“Lily and Sophia took excellent care of Ginger. They are very experienced with dogs and showered Ginger with love and care. They are very communicative and sent photos every day. We never doubted for a moment that Ginger was well-cared for. It was the first time we left her with anybody and were a little nervous about it but very quickly realized there was no need to worry. The house was clean and tidy when we returned. I highly recommend them and would love to have them back to stay with Ginger again.”

Brittany A.
“Brittany did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our dog, Halee. From the moment we met her, we knew Halee would be in gentle and capable hands. Brittany followed Halee’s routine down to a T—from feeding and walks to playtimes in the yard—which made Halee feel safe, happy, and right at home. Every day, Brittany sent us thoughtful updates with photos and little anecdotes that truly captured Halee’s personality. That made all the difference while we were away—we could relax and enjoy our time knowing Halee was content and well cared for. Brittany’s calm confidence and loving attitude put both us—and Halee—at ease. When we returned, the house was tidy, and Halee was so relaxed she didn’t even notice we were gone. It’s clear that Brittany not only provided excellent care but also genuinely bonded with her. We can’t recommend Brittany enough—she’s professional, trustworthy, and clearly loves what she does. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
Steffen B.
“Steffen is one of the kindest most compassionate people I know. He is truly one of the good people in this world and I trust him like family. I know he will take great care of your family member because he has a great work ethic and just genuinely cares which is honestly so rare. I’m lucky to have him as a friend and any pet he cares for will feel the same!”
Triba M.Star Sitter

West End pet parents share their Rover experiences
Maya took great care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and check-in messages, and we came home to a clean house. She even went the extra step of stripping the bed and putting the sheets in the washer. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and would gladly have her sit for us again.
Carla is not only wonderful with pets she is a great human! We really enjoyed the experience of working with Carla and I know we will do so again many more times in the future. I would highly recommend her services to anyone out there looking for someone to trust with your pet.
Alyanna took great care of our dog and cat while we were away. Alyanna was very communicative; she checked in with us regularly and sent us lots of pictures of happy pets. Our house was well cared for, as well. We would definitely recommend and book Alyanna for future visits.
It was our first time using an in-home sitter so we were a bit hesitant, but Josh was fantastic. He made sure to ask about our normal routine and what was important to us, and we came home to 2 happy dogs and a house just as clean as we left it, and got pictures, videos, and updates daily.
Brittany did a wonderful job caring for our dogs and home while we were away! We were able to relax on our vacation with total peace of mind knowing they were in loving and capable hands. Brittany kept us up to date on how they were doing and communicated efficiently. We will absolutely be booking Brittany again for both house sitting and drop in visits!
Brianna was wonderful with our Doberman, making sure she got plenty of exercise everyday. She was also very accommodating to our changing needs. We received happy pictures of our dog daily. It’s clear Brianna loves dogs and we would love to work with her again.
Saylor was kind enough to take a very last minute booking for me on a weekday afternoon. She responded promptly, communicated well, asked good questions. She was early to the appointment, very friendly and kind in person. (And she’s got cute doggies!) I will absolutely be asking her back.
