House Sitting West Roxbury

“Marilyn is a fantastic sitter and considerate homestay. She took great care of my two cats (and my home), and they really liked her based on the numerous pictures she sent where it appeared they were following her around, and not just to the wet food. What's more, Marilyn goes above and beyond. When I left for my trip and Marilyn was to begin residency the following day, my neighbor texted me and showed me that there was a window situation where a cat could escape. Even though her duty started the next day, Marilyn made a special trip to confirm cats were safe, and to fix the window situation. She even washed the bedding and towels I had left her so I wouldn't have to do it when I got home, and she generously allowed my to book two more nights of her care when I wanted to extend my trip. Marilyn is very caring, considerate and flexible. I will definitely be requesting her services again. I recommend her highly as one of the best Rover caretakers I have encountered.”

“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”

“Victoria stayed at my house for 5 days and cared for my elderly cat, who needs daily medication. She sent frequent updates and photos and took great care of my dear Nanette. She left the house clean and neat. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and recommend her highly.”

“Sarah provided phenomenal house sitting care for our anxious dog. She was very reliable and responsive and calmed our nerves with multiple photos and updates throughout the week. Highly recommend!”

“Juliette was fantastic! She stayed at our home with our dog for the weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept us updated throughout her stay with messages and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. He looked so happy and comfortable in every update, and it was clear that Juliette took wonderful care of him. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a great overall experience. We would absolutely book with Juliette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.”

“Ailise is awesome! She was flexible with our last minute modifications. She took care of two of our dogs with very different needs and personalities. She took great care of our home while we were away as well. We were a little nervous leaving our dogs for a weekend with a sitter but we couldn't be happier!”

About: I've been caring and taking care of many different furry friends over last 4 years. They vary from energetic cavalier, less than a year old, to a 12 year old pekinies with lot of medications. Every lovely souls are welcomed at our house! Let's have fun! I am a freelance designer who work remotely. My working hour is less than 3 hours each day at my desk, I always feel loved and peaceful with pet friends near me ! We do have decently spaced, semi- fenced yard right outside our door. Our house is around 850 sqf with lots of characters. We share every single furniture with our furry guests, including the bed. Thank you!

About: I follow the guidelines of the owner. I am "present" (not distracted) with the dog. I am consistent and caring. I am very aware of the dog's behavior in the range of other pets and people, and adjust our path and pace accordingly. I am recently retired and my scheduled is flexible between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. unless I have scheduled time on the water to sail. Currently, I walked my neighbors dog. When I enter, I am careful to close the door immediately and take time to greet the dog (Mazie, female). I am attentive to details when putting on her harness for both security and comfort. While walking, I follow the instructions of the owner relative to the proximity of other dogs since Mazie is a rescue and can become agitated by other dogs. Maize heels very well for me while we walk and I believe she appreciates that I do not listen to music or use my phone while we walk. I converse with Mazie to ensure she feels companionship as well as experiences exercise.

“Amy was great for her week long stay with Savannah. Very communicative and we came home to a happy cat! It was so great to get pictures and videos daily.”

“If we could give Yanira 10 shining stars, we would! Yanira took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper in our home. Yanira arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Yanira sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Our house, BTW, was immaculate. Yanira has our highest recommendations, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Yanira!!!!!”

“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and have walked them for two years. I make sure they have a safe fun time. My schedule is pretty open so I am guaranteed to make sure your pet is well taken care of and having a fun safe time. In clients home I make sure that gates are closed to backyard. Make sure they aren’t getting into anything they aren’t supposed to be in.

“Christopher was a great communicator and took very good care of our dog.”

“Casey was super communicative, thoughtful, and attentive to details throughout the entire process. She genuinely cares about the dogs and it showed. Any dog parent understands the anxiety over leaving their babies with someone new - but Casey really pulled through and was so reliable! The dogs LOVED her. Thank you Casey. You're a gift!”

“Kristina went above and beyond taking care of my senior dog Jazzy. She sent lots of photos and updates everyday. When we met before booking, she took notes during our conversation, which demonstrated how she is a detail oriented person. I left her a 2-3 page document with instructions about Jazzy’s routine and my apartment. She followed the instructions very closely and everything went perfectly! It was a huge relief to know Jazzy was in the care of an amazing person while I was away. For anyone with senior dogs, you can be assured that Kristina will give your pup the care they need (but for dogs of all ages too)! ☺️🐾 I would certainly hook her again!”

Ariana C.

“Belkis has stayed with our pup several times and is always fantastic! Our pup loves being with her and she communicates with us daily so we get to see snap shots of their day. Thank you Belkis!”

“Franchesca took care of my dog and (ancient) cat just last week. She was a very attentive sitter. My girls were well taken care of and the daily pictures and videos put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Franchesca and will be hiring her again next month.”

Allie B.

“Angie was amazing with Frankie!! He felt so comfortable with her and she send so many updates, which we love! We will definitely have her back :)”

About: I have always loved dogs and even have a dog of my own. I am extremely patient and consider myself to be kind. I work as a kindergarten teacher so I am used to taking care of things and tending to their needs. As a kindergarten teacher, I have lots of free time on weekends and school breaks, and I figured the best use of my time would be to do something I already enjoy doing and also help other people out as well. Since I already own a dog of my own I am very conscientious of what dogs can or cannot do, eat, or be near. I try to play with them as much as possible and be friendly with them so they feel comfortable around new people.
