“Could not have been happier with Alyssa, both for her adoration of our girl Zoee (it was mutual!) and for the care she showed for our house (she left us flowers on the counter, was thoughtful throughout the week, and everything was 100% clean and tidy). Loved the photos and updates. She’s wonderful and we’ll be adding her to take care of our Zoee again, likely quite soon.”

About: I cared for my yellow Labrador, Sparky, for 12 years. From puppyhood to his senior years, our daily walks, playtime, and belly rubs were some of my favorite ways to connect and spend quality time together. Over the years, friends, family members and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship during vacations, I’ve always treated every pet like my own, with patience and love. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your furry family member, and I’m here to provide that peace of mind. I work full time during the week, so I’m available for walks after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I am also available for house visits and stays from Wednesday evenings after I get out of work through Sunday evenings. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine in a familiar environment, and I always aim to create a calm, comfortable, and safe experience. During visits, I follow your instructions closely, ensure your pet is fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, and keep you updated with regular check-ins. Daily walks were one of my favorite bonding activities with my dog, Sparky, so I truly understand how important they are for both physical health and mental stimulation. Whether your pup loves a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor each outing to their pace and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure the leash is secure, stay alert to surroundings making sure it is a safe area to walk in, and follow your dog’s routine and preferences. I make sure walks are not only safe but also enjoyable, giving your dog a chance to explore, exercise and return home happy and relaxed.

About: Since I graduated high school, I created a dog walking business in New Jersey and now that I am a college student in Boston, I am interested in bringing my love for dogs with me! I have two dogs currently, one senior dog and one puppy (look at the first picture in my gallery to see Finley and Indie)! I have lots of experience from taking care of not only my own dogs but I also have professional experience from walking and sitting my clients' dogs in New Jersey. I am a college student but as I am in summer break I can walk or do drop-ins anytime on weekdays. I have lots of availability on weekends too for walking and pet sitting! Having dogs of my own, I understand the value of one-on-one time with human friends, this is why I only walk one dog at a time, unless they have doggy siblings of course!

“Nathalia was great with Remy! She provided regular updates and pictures and was quick to answer any messages. She also left my home clean and tidy. I can’t wait for Nathalia to watch Remy again!”

“Anya and El are so very kind and caring. They took excellent care of house sitting and caring for our puppy. They followed our directions and went beyond to enrich our puppy’s world, taking her to dog parks, on hikes, to Petco and lots of walks. They consulted and were generous with their time. They even bought treats and a recommended collar. We highly recommend them!”

“Katrina is a true animal lover who was great with my hyper 45-lb hound mix Sage. She's been on a couple of walks and one overnight housesit. I trust her to keep Sage (an unpredictable bolter when spotting squirrels) safe on the leash and reliabily show up for each walk, even accommodating last minute schedule changes. Katrina took good care of my house while we were gone and even picked up some bone shards that could have been a choking hazard. To top it all off, I got a selfie of Katrina & Sage snuggling in bed. Sage will be looking forward to her new caretaker's return soon.”

“Brooke was excellent with our small dog, Hildie. She took her out very regularly and gave detailed and frequent updates. Very happy with her care and she also was very respectful of our home as well! Would definitely book Brooke again.”

“Jon was so great! He communicated consistently and cared for my cats and dogs as if they were his own. I loved receiving daily pictures and hearing how everyone was doing. He went above and beyond with his care for our pets and our home.”

Cora B.

“Jennifer did a terrific job of taking care of my two dogs while I was gone for the week. She stayed at my house and sent me plenty of photos of the dogs so my kids wouldn’t miss them. I highly recommend her services to others, and I look forward to using her services again in the near future.”

About: I have been taking care of pets my entire life including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, bunnies, amphibians, horses and other small animals (however I am happy to learn how to take care of new species as well). I have been volunteering at various animal shelters and rescues for 5 years and also have experience in a veterinary medicine setting. I am a pre-vet student and love animals more than anything! I am currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pets. I am available on weekdays and weekends and am generally very flexible. I have lots of experience with animals and the most important thing to me is making sure they are safe and comfortable. I will do my upmost to make sure your pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I had pets when I was younger and grew up having responsibilities of taking care and being attentive to the care of animals in my life. I am a college student on summer break, I would love to go out for walks and giving your pets the attention that I can give due to my flexible schedule. I have a spacious backyard and being close to a park is wonderful to go on long walks or just let your pets run around.

“Maryna was absolutely incredible. She was so sweet, diligent, and sent a ton of pics. And our Poodle Pippa loves her too! Highly recommend.”

“We had an excellent experience with Victoria as our dog sitter. She took great care of our dog, Bear, ensuring he was fed, walked, and happy during our time away. Victoria was professional, reliable, and communicated with us regularly, providing updates and photos of Bear. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We felt completely at ease knowing Bear was in such good hands. We highly recommend Victoria to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter.”

“Louise is a fantastic pet sitter. She watched our 8-month-old puppy all day, closely following our instructions, keeping detailed notes (such as time of bathroom trips, walks, meals, and naps; how much our puppy ate, etc.), and regularly sending text and picture updates. Also, our puppy loves Louise!”

About: I love animals, most of the time I'd rather interact and show compassion towards pets over people. Growing up we had SIX indoor cats while also caring for a feral cat colony in our backyard. Very familiar with all aspects of pet care, I have volunteered at a couple local shelters such as HAAL & Tabby's Place. My father's family used to train and show German Shepherds, so while I've never owned my own dog I am very comfortable caring for and walking pups. I'm an athletic male with the strength to safely walk bigger, stronger dogs. In another life I would have dedicated myself to becoming an actual veterinarian. Very passionate about your fur babies and the bond that most people share with their animals! Open availability during the week, morning & night. Walks, pet care, pet sitting and overnights. Weekends are scheduled but still open enough to take on a couple commitments. Walks & pet care, NO overnights unless scheduled a week before I prioritize the safety and well-being of both pets and their owners in every service I provide. In my own home, I maintain a secure, clean, and pet-friendly environment, ensuring all pets have a comfortable space tailored to their needs. In clients' homes, I respect their space while ensuring pets are safe and well cared for. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise routines precisely, secure doors and gates to prevent escapes, and monitor pets for any signs of stress or discomfort. Hygiene is a top priority—I sanitize hands and equipment between visits to prevent cross-contamination. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners."

“Dani is an exceptional Rover associate. We engaged her for a week of overnight sitting, our first time ever having an overnight house sitter in our home. We had Dani take my girls out a few times before our week away for everyone to get to know one another. The week went super smoothly- the perfect amount of communication and photos. Everything was perfect when we returned home - happy dogs, well-watered plants and a cared for home. Thank you to Dani and to Rover for allowing us a week away without worry!”

Laura S.

“So thankful for Amanda. She took amazing care of our young puppy for an entire evening. We were able to enjoy a family wedding knowing that Penny was well taken care of and happy. We received numerous updates and photos throughout the night. Will certainly be using Amanda for all our puppy walking and sitting!”

Diana B.

“Cheryl was great! She took care of all 5 of our pets (2 dogs, 2 cats and a turtle) as well as our house. She sent photos of the animals and was really engaged with our dogs, who are not easy. Cheryl was responsive, left the house in perfect shape and picked up any waste in the backyard. Definitely recommend her and we’ll use her again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra support. I am also experienced with dogs with behavioral challenges. With a background in the mental health field, I bring a calm, compassionate approach to pet care, grounded in patience and an understanding that behavior is a form of communication. I take time to build trust and tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. As a graduate student at Montclair State University, I’m local and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate extra time to pet care. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I enjoy fitting pet care into my routine—it’s a meaningful way for me to help out while spending time with animals I love. While each week in my schedule is slightly different, please feel free to reach out with your preferences so we can find a schedule that works best for both of us. I’m happy to be flexible and work around what you and your pet need. I provide care in my clients’ homes to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m respectful of each pet’s routine and space, and I always follow any specific instructions provided—whether that’s leading pets to their designated areas, managing feeding schedules, or crating when needed. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, secure, and cared for while you’re away, all while keeping your home tidy and routines consistent.
