“Jess was great and very easy going with my cat and dog!”

“Kathleen is AMAZING! Not only was she super thorough about getting to know our dogs and home, but she was also so kind and thoughtful during her stay. She sent us updates and pictures, and even cleaned up and washed the guest room items and towels before we arrived home! Her kindness and generosity of spirit make her one of a kind!”

Amanda M.

“Alison was wonderful! My cats were very well taken care of and I got regular updates. When I came home, everything was clean and my cats were very happy. Highly recommend!”

Mira M.

“Jess was wonderful! She took good care of our Toby and gave us lots of updates. She was very responsible and did everything we asked and more. We really appreciated her communication and especially her thoughtfulness. My new go-to dog sitter!”

“After a long 10 vacation with some twists and turns, Traci was always communicative, accommodating and highly professional, not to mention just a lovely person. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. During our trip, our dog unexpectedly became sick with vomiting and diarrhea, and she remained calm, composed and compassionate, including middle-of-the-night potty breaks and keeping us informed throughout. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and tremendous peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and recommend her without hesitation.”

Mary R.

“Emily was so great with my cat! She paid a lot of attention to his behaviors and I could see he was having a good time when she sent update photos. We booked her for housesitting, and she did a perfect job. Would recommend her!”

Madison L.

“Oriana did a great job with our Lilly! She was an attentive and very caring companion for our fluff. Thank you, Oriana, we really appreciate how you took care of Lilly!”

Lauren P.

“Atticus loves Yi and family! She is someone we got lucky to have as a dog sitter. She has helped us out a few times now and we plan on using her again!”

About: I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old. With the 16 years of experience with cats, I believe every fur baby needs a home away from home. Like with every pet parent, I strive for the best with my cat. If you choose me to watch your fur baby, I will provide the best and safest environment for them. Do they need a room to themselves? You got it. Has explosive diarrhea? I have cleaning supplies. Medical issues? Another way to keep me on my toes. I hope you consider me as a prospective aunt to your kitter cat or doggo and can’t wait to fill up my camera role with adorable pictures. I look forward to hearing from you 💕 I am a grad student at Brandeis University. My classes are usually over by 2 pm, so after then I’m usually at my apartment caring for my cat and completing schoolwork. So needless to say, I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule for your pets individual needs. If I am doing home visits, I would like to visit the clients home a day or two prior to the arranged visit(s) to understand the animals needs and to see if we would be a good fit. I believe it is important to establish an understanding with the animal in question before I frequent the premises so there isn’t any unnecessary stress for your pet. In regards to boarding, I have a medium sized apartment that would be good for any cat or small-medium dog. There are multiple grassy areas for bathroom breaks and walks around the premises. You will have to provide me with your animals usual schedule (times for bathroom breaks, when and how much time are committed to walks, feeding times, etc.) so I can build my set around them and their needs

“Sara took wonderful care of Charlie and I would certainly leave him with her again. Even though he can be shy, Charlie took to Sara the first time he met her which put me right at ease. It was easy to communicate with her and it was so nice to receive pictures of them together. When I returned it was obvious that Charlie was well taken care of and that my condo was left as clean and neat as I left it!!”

Cheryl L.

“Meghan was wonderful, a true animal lover - it was obvious how much our three cats and a dog loved her by the end of her stay. She checked in with us by text every day we were out of town, asked all the right questions and sent adorable photos. She went well beyond just the usual caretaking, doing things like replacing the cat box fill and spending quality time with the animals. She left our house immaculate. She is attending school to become a veterinary tech, and I have no doubt she will one of the best!”

Stanley S.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Melissa from Rover. She took amazing care of our dog Luna, who was recovering from knee surgery and needed special attention. Melissa followed our instructions for Luna’s physical therapy three times a day, and kept us updated with photos and messages through the Rover app, which really gave us peace of mind. On top of that, she stayed at our house while we were away and left it spotless. We even came home to a sweet note and a flower on the counter. Melissa truly went above and beyond, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

Margaret R.

“Sabina was wonderful! Made friends with our reactive dog very quickly! She also took care of him during a power outage, and we are so grateful. We came back to a happy and relaxed lil guy!”

Julia C.

“Natalie did an AMAZING job. My old dog was unfortunately having health issues and Natalie was there to love on her and picked up some medication from the vet to try to help her symptoms. I couldn't have hoped for a better substitute for me being there during this difficult time. If you use Natalie for dog sitting, you are definitely leaving your fur baby in capable AND very empathetic/loving hands.”

Mike G.

“Devika was prompt and personable and connected with my dog immediately. She kept me updated on his well-being and was great to work with. I had to unexpectedly find someone to watch my dog while I was out and was very lucky to find her.”

About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog handler dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.

“Marcy was a brilliant, attentive and caring sitter for our dog and cat while we took a two week trip. She was always responsive, sent daily updates, and was even flexible enough to stay on an extra two days. Would book again in a heartbeat!”

“Amarais was a great pet-sitter for the weekend! Left the house incredibly clean, was very communicative, and showed our dog lots of love.”

About: While I don’t have my own pet, I have been around and taken care of dogs quite often. I regularly take care of all my loved ones’ cats and have had cat sitting jobs as well. I’m a responsible and reliable doctoral graduate who will do a good job, and be sure to keep solid communication with clients! I currently work and study full time from home. I am quite flexible with my schedule and can often help out on weeknights and weekends too! I have an unfenced large yard as well as a large house. I can go on runs, (I’m an avid runner who ran cross country and track in high school!) and I absolutely love playing with dogs. My neighborhood is very friendly for dog walks, with fellow dog walkers around! I don’t have a dog or other pets, so no interactions would disrupt dog-sitting. I have three roommates who can give the dogs extra love :)

“Cressida was amazing! Lovely to work with and did a terrific job looking after Molly and the house. This was the first time we left our new dog overnight and Cressida kept us up to date with how they were doing, asked questions when she needed things I had forgotten to mention, and it all went great.”
