“Tiffany was great! She checked in on our 2 cats while we were away and updated us daily on how the cats were doing with pics. She even managed to get my cats to warm up and approach her which is quite a feat as they’re generally very cautious! It was so nice to have peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in good hands while we were away. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Yanira took amazing care of Ruthie! She can be shy with new people but came out for Yanira, great to get the daily photos! I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Maggie is incredible! She is responsive, caring, attentive, and enthusiastic. She always sends updates and pictures, and is very easy to work with. So far I've booked with her twice for drop-in visits while I was away, and everything went smoothly. I will continue to seek her out in the future! :)”

“Emma was so wonderful! She was reliable, kind, and very loving with my two babies. She took such good care of them and sent report on how they were doing and pictures! It’s so hard leaving my dogs as they are my children, but I know that they were in wonderful hands!”

“Katie is so nice and very professional! Joni warmed up to her right away, and I can tell she is going to be in great hands when Katie visits her! I’m so grateful, thank you Katie!!”


“On time, sent pictures, Katie loves her, she was able to help very last minute and went above and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Will be definitely asking for Kristen’s services again!”

“James was an excellent caregiver for my cat. He came over early to see the house and meet Finbar, sent nice updates and pictures. I would be happy to use his services again.”

“Meg was amazing! She stepped in last minute, was responsive and reliable, and clearly cares about the dogs. She asked great questions, sent updates and videos during her visits, and gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely book her again.”

“Jana was a perfect dog sitter! She accepted the job on very short notice and arrived early. She really saved the day! She was very gentle and loving with my tiny chihuahua puppy. I loved getting the picture updates. Thank you, Jana!”

“This was the first time that Kaitlin watched Jed over an extended period and it really could not have gone better. She was communicative throughout, and was very thoughtful about trying to find extra time to be with him while we were away. We came home to a cat who was obviously been well cared for and we will look forward to having Kaitlin come watch Jed again.”

“We were happy to leave our two cats in Oliver's hands. The kitties established an immediate rapport at our first visit, and Oliver sent along photos each day so we knew they were doing well. They were well taken care of.”

“Megan was so lovely and communicative!! She took great care of our cats while we were gone for 4 days and handled basic needs and a few special requests. Our new go to cat sitter :)”

About: Hi! I'm a recent graduate who lives with a senior cat; I have a lot of experience with senior pets, special needs pets, medication administration, etc. I'm able to exercise with and play however your dog likes! I've been pet sitting and walking dogs for my friends and family (and Wag!) for over a decade (dog in the profile picture is my brother's dog Kuma!) Pets bring me so much joy and I want to help take care of them as a community effort :) I'm here to build trust, please ask any questions 🫰 I am a gig worker currently, therefore very flexible—request me and there's a high chance I'll be available! I'm around weekends and weekdays, my own cat has plenty of alternate caregivers. I would not be able to host pets in my home, but would follow any rules at clients homes to make pets feel safe and regulated :) consistency helps them and me!
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. Our home consists of me and my husband and our 4 daughters. We are all animal lovers. I am a stay at home mom, so I am home all day long. I will make sure the dogs get plenty of bathroom breaks and outside time. We are a family of 6. Your dogs will get a lot of love and affection. We also have a fenced in yard to keep them safe.
“I'm very thankful for Wanda because I was away overseas and my previous sitter had to cancel.. this was not a situation any pet parent should ever be put through and I was able to get ahold of Wanda who came to the rescue even without me being there to show her the procedure for taking care of my 2 cats. (Granted, I had a Youtube video giving an overview of the process and I gave her the codes to my lockbox and my home alarm which all went smoothly.)”

About: Hi, I'm Liz! I'm the person who always looks to meet, greet, and hug new dogs when walking down the street (with their owner's permission of course!) I grew up with a dog and helped raise him from 8 weeks old until he sadly passed away at age 15. I love to dog-sit for my friends and family when they are away on trips. I love bringing dogs on walks, to the park, going for short runs (if the dog is able), as well as spoiling them with treats and toys! I am a full-time teacher, but I have availability after-work, weekends, and breaks throughout the year! I love dogs of all ages and sizes, and I feel dogs make the world a better place :) I am a full-time teacher in Boston, so before the hours of 8am and after 4:30pm work best during the week. I have more flexibility on the weekends and over school breaks! When caring for a pet in my client’s home, I always seek important information regarding the dog’s food, exercise, and sleep schedules. I also request important information regarding health and emergency phone numbers if necessary!
West Roxbury pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marie did a great job caring for our two cats while we were away. She kept me tuned in with daily reports and photos snd communicated well with any questions she had during visits. And she kept my container plants alive during very hot weather! Both cats were calm and relaxed when I returned.

I was so anxious about leaving my two cats for several days but Avery made me feel so much more comfortable with it! She was kind, responsive, provided great photos and detailed updates, and she even went the extra mile to help with window closing/opening when it was raining and very hot. I am very grateful for her and her care for my animals. Absolutely would book her again. Thanks Avery!!
