“Aly is wonderful with our 3 cats. She learned their personalities quickly and was able to suggest things that would help in the house while we were away. We looked forward to the updates and photos every day!”

About: I’m an animal lover that has had pets all my life! I’m a calm and patient person who can handle dogs of all sizes and demeanors. I also can’t resist petting a cat. I understand that they are family and will treat them as such! I’m currently working part time so I will have time to take care of your pet and make sure they have all the attention they need. I have reliable transportation and am a Boston native I have a fenced in yard and live very close to walking trails and a park. I have space to crate a dog inside if needed, or they can remain in or outside. I have two cats at home but when other pets enter the house they will be on the second floor only.

“Sean is a great human and a great carer. My dog is incredibly picky and always right. She will decide at the door, on the first sniff, if she is ok with someone or now, and she immediately took to Sean. He tracks their walking route and sends me the cutest update pictures. He has also been so flexible with my dogs recent surgeries. He walks my dog daily and it is the highlight of her day!”

“Charlotte was great for our drop-in visit! We have an older, reactive dog, and Charlotte had a great way with Lucy that quickly built rapport. Charlotte was comfortable with dogs with more needs and we felt confident leaving Lucy in her care.”

“Gabriel is great. He is dedicated to making sure animals are comfortable with him and provides amazing care. His communication is also great.”

“Alyssa was amazing for my dog and me. Highly recommend. I had a last minute business trip and she was able to drop in to save the evening and walk Louie while I was out of town. And it was her first walk with us. She knew just what to ask during the meet and greet and then again right before the walk to make it be a success for her, me and most importantly Louie! Thx!!!!”

About: 🏡 Calm, home-away-from-home boarding 🐕 Pet-free household 🌳 Private fenced yard ❤️ Experienced with rescues & anxious dogs 📸 Frequent updates 👩 Home throughout the day 📝 Detailed meet-and-greet/intake process I may be new to Rover but I’m not new to caring for your dog. As a lifelong pet owner, animal lover and proud rescue dog mom, I know that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I raised my two rescue Staffordshire Terrier/Pit Bull mixes from the shelter, giving me hands-on experience with training, structure, and positive reinforcement. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I adapt my care to match both their personality and the routine you’ve established, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your dog’s stay will include plenty of one-on-one attention, walks to the nearby park, playtime in my fully fenced backyard, and lots of affection (including couch cuddles if they’re allowed!). I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout the day for complete peace of mind. My goal is simple: to become someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your best friend. I want you to leave knowing your dog is being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention that you would give them yourself. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply keeping your dog company. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time are already part of my day. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, overnight care, or an extended stay, I’ll make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve—not just the basics, but plenty of love and companionship too. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to match their personality, energy level, and the routine you’ve already established. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love and attention. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if needed), and any training cues you use so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, dogs enjoy a calm, pet-free environment with plenty of one-on-one attention, a fully fenced backyard for supervised play, walks to the nearby park, and cozy places to relax. If your dog is allowed on furniture, they’re welcome to cuddle up on the couch with me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep your home tidy, can provide regular updates with photos and videos, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is for you to return home to a happy dog and complete peace of mind

About: I have solid experience caring for dogs, and I truly enjoy every moment with them. For me, walks are more than just a simple outing they’re fun adventures your dog deserves! I’m affectionate, patient, and always focused on making them feel safe, loved, and happy. I’m happy to take care of your best friend! Whether it’s for a few hours, a fun walk, or even staying with them when needed. I’m here to help. I’m available every day except Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to adapt to your furry friend’s routine whether it’s at home or during walks. I understand that every pet has their own needs, and I love giving them the care and attention they deserve.

About: I became a dog lover 15+ years ago when my family got our first dog, Sir. Since then, I’ve loved dogs and have become the person friends/family/coworkers turn to do dog sitting. I’m a Nurse in Boston and have a fluctuating schedule but would love to fit in some walks or boarding when I can! I miss having a dog of my own in my life so taking care of yours I will treat it as my own! Also even though I am at work, my roommate also loves dogs so would be home with them while I’m at work until I come home so their needs during the day would be taken care of! My boyfriend has a cat that is 6yo and she is very chill/sweet but more of a scaredy cat who likes her own private space away from everyone. If a dog or another cat were to approach her she would most likely just hiss and move on about her day so a dog who is friendly towards cats/doesn’t care is perfect! I work full time and can be home by 3/3:30 unless working an off shift. If a drop off time is on a week day before 3p, I would have to check to see if my roommate is home otherwise drop off on weekends can be any time! On weekends I have the most flexibility and on some weekdays after 3p I would be able to do walks or drop ins. I have a male roommate that WFH and loves dogs so he would be home with them while I am away during the day so they’re never fully alone unless he’s in office that day! I’ve taken care of many of my family/friends dogs and I tend to like to stick to the schedule they are used to at home to help alleviate any stress that comes with a new environment. I have experience in giving medication to dogs including oral, IM, IV as well. I do now have a 6yo cat so want to make sure they are comfortable around a cat who is very chill and reserved.

About: I am a Boston nurse looking to spend some time caring for dogs on days off! My schedule is very flexible and open! I typically work 3 days a week so I have many days off!I am open to staying in house to care for the dog! I love walking dogs and helping with house training and play. I grew up with an adorable yellow lab and have helped many families in town with their pets as well. I absolutely love pets (cats and dogs), I love the outdoors and would be more than happy to take pets on several walks throughout the day! I am very trustworthy, responsible and reliable. I will always be on time and energetic to spend some time with your pet! I typically work 3 days a week so have plenty of availability. My schedule is flexible and with notice I am available for longer periods of time! I make sure to always keep dogs on a leash while out and about. Prior to sitting I make sure I have a good understanding of the animal.

About: I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, bunnies, hens and roosters. I have never lived without caring for an animal! I love being outside, going for walks, playing and gardening. I am a mom of two school-aged boys and a proud owner of two tuxedo kitties whom we adopted nine years ago. I work part-time in the afternoons as an outdoor preschool art specialist. I am free between 9:30 am, and 1 pm everyday, and Wednesday and Thursday until 3 pm! I may also have early evenings free starting at the end of June. I have plenty of time in my schedule to help you care for your animals. Looking forward to meeting them! I am fun, gentle, playful and caring, and have a good instinct for what dogs and cats need. I can read body language and am sensitive to energy. I look forward to learning more about your pets from you, getting to know them and forging a relationship.

“Michelle was a fantastic sitter for our sweet kitty! She was very patient with us when we had some issues with the app during booking, and was quickly available to come over for a tour even though we were only a few days away from our trip. She was very communicative before, during, and after her visit and we came home to a very happy kitty! Thank you Michelle!”

“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.)”

“Sophia did evening drop in for my 7months puppy! She is very communicative and follows instructions! We are booking again for next week!”

About: Hi, I’m Al! 🐾 I’m a dog walker and trainer in training who loves getting dogs outside—whether it’s a long hike, group walk, or just burning off energy. I have experience handling multiple dogs and making sure everyone feels safe and has a great time. I love finding spots for dogs to swim, explore, or play fetch—if that’s their thing! In my other life, I’m a women’s sports photographer, so you can expect some pretty great photo updates 📸 My goal is always a happy, tired pup who had the best time! I’m a photographer (yes I can photograph your dog!!) and am flexible with my time management. Weekdays when work is in the way can be tough but I can help! I have experience crating dogs, long walks, special food necessities and lots love! I enjoy giving extra play time and attention or a comfortable lap to nap on!

“Gabby performed all duties accordingly and was communicative throughout the process. Thank you for all the effort! I will recommend her and use her services again in the future!”

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and hamsters and I am willing to experience a lot more! Don’t worry, I always enjoyed animals and providing them with love and care, so your mind will be at ease when you are away. I recently completed school but I also work a per diem job. Aside from studying to receive my certification, I have plenty of time to be with your cute companions, and spend time with them. Who knows, maybe while we’re together we can become the best study buddies. I am extremely flexible and always willing to discuss further if you have interest in booking. As I’ve had plenty of experience with Cats, I’m well aware of choking hazards on string like materials. I try to keep items like this out of reach! I am very clean when it comes to my space and noticed that this helps as some kitty’s can be a little curious and knock things off surfaces. When things are put away correctly there’s less chance for mess or danger. I am still gaining some experience with Dogs and puppies. As far as safety, I only do leashed walks to not only protect your pup but others who may be passing by as well! Again, I'm pretty organized and will avoid leaving items out, especially food! I know some animals are very food motivated and leaving food products out can be dangerous.
