About: I have experience caring for both energetic dogs who need structure and movement, as well as more sensitive pets who benefit from patience, gentle routines, and clear communication. I’m organized, responsive, and great at managing schedules—skills I use every day in my professional work and bring directly into pet care. I pay attention to details, follow instructions carefully, and make sure owners feel fully informed while they’re away. I’m a reliable and attentive weekend pet sitter based in Boston, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and caring environment for every animal I look after.

“David was awesome with our pets! We have a 22 year old kitty that needed some special attention during the visits, and he took great care of her! This is our first time using this service so we were a little nervous but David's communication skills and personality on the first time meeting set those nerves a side! We will be using him in the future for sure!”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own dog who lived with diabetes and eventually lost her vision. During that time, I was responsible for administering daily insulin injections, managing a specialized prescription diet, monitoring her health, and ensuring she remained comfortable and happy. This experience taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to care for pets with unique medical needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have regularly looked after my siblings' dogs and friends' pets, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and am self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and check-ins around each pet's specific needs. Because I have control over my work schedule, I can provide reliable care and give pets the attention they deserve rather than fitting them into a busy routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I ensure they receive their regular feeding schedule, exercise, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while following any instructions provided by the owner. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they're away.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and make it my priority to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I’ll provide the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and energy levels. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a Division I student-athlete, I have basketball practice Monday through Thursday until around 1:30 p.m., which makes me available for afternoon, evening, and overnight pet care during the week. My weekends are completely open, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy staying active, so whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply needs companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the same love and attention I give my own pets back home. Since I currently live in a dorm, I’m unable to provide pet care in my own home. However, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, organized, and exactly as I found it. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing both your pet and your home are in good hands.

About: I’ve had the joy of working with dogs of all sizes at the Homewood Adoption Center, where I learned to care for every personality—from playful puppies to wise seniors. I love helping each dog feel safe, happy, and loved, and I bring that same dedication to every pet in my care. I am available to care for pets all week and can adjust my schedule to meet your needs, including overnight stays if required. Your pets’ comfort and happiness are my top priority! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and bathroom breaks as needed, while keeping your home safe and clean. I also give updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away.
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. At home in Colombia, my house was full of paws: four cats, a shepherd dog, and a beagle before that. I've also pet sat for friends' dogs, including a Yorkie and a Cocker Spaniel. I have a special patience for puppies: the training, the energy, the chaos; I genuinely love it. And since I'm not working right now, your pet gets my full attention, all day long. No rushing home after a shift, just 100% focused, loving care. I live in Hyde Park, right in front of Harold Washington Park, and just minutes from Jackson Park, so long walks and outdoor playtime are always on the menu! I considered studying veterinary but realized I simply can't stand seeing animals suffer, which tells you everything about how much I care. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel as loved as mine do back home. Since I'm currently not working, pet care fits perfectly and naturally into my entire day. I wake up late morning, which means lazy morning cuddles are always on the table, perfect for cats or calm dogs who love a slow start to the day. From there, my day is completely flexible and centered around the pet's routine, whether that's feeding, litter care, playtime at home, or heading out for a walk to Harold Washington Park or Jackson Park, both just minutes from my place. I'm also available for overnight stays, so pets never have to spend the night alone or anxious in an unfamiliar space. At my home in Hyde Park: My apartment is a calm and loving space, no other pets, so your furry friend gets all the attention. I'm home all day, which means no long lonely hours. For cats, I make sure to provide a comfortable, stress-free environment, respecting their need for space and routine. For dogs, living right in front of Harold Washington Park and minutes from Jackson Park means fresh air and walks are always just steps away. I also offer overnight stays, so pets can settle in and feel truly at home. At your home: I understand that many pets, especially cats, feel most comfortable in their own space. When visiting your home, I follow your pet's established routine as closely as possible, feeding schedules, litter care, favorite toys, nap spots. I don't just stop by quickly, I stay long enough for real playtime and genuine connection. In both cases: I treat every pet like my own. Growing up with cats, dogs, and everything in between taught me to read animal behavior, respect their boundaries, and give them the kind of love and patience they deserve. And since my own two cats are waiting for me back in Colombia, I know exactly what it feels like to trust someone with the animals you love most. 🐾❤️
About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient, observant, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away.

About: I’ve had my dog Ace (Cane Corso/Lab mx) for 4 years. Although my family has been fortunate enough to take care of him together, I understand the struggle of finding someone who will care properly for your pet as you do. Pets are our chosen family, and I will ensure your pet is properly cared for. In addition to my dog, I have 3 years of experience in animal husbandry from my previous position as a animal care technician I work another during the week. My most consistent availability is Saturday and Sundays (mornings, afternoons, early evening) for pet sitting and/or walking your pet. I walk my dog 3x a day.

About: I’ve grown up with pets and began pet sitting in high school for my coaches and family. With over two years of recent experience, a flexible daytime schedule, and a pet-friendly neighborhood near the Pullman Monument and Arcade Park, I provide reliable, personalized care for dogs and cats while making life easier for pet owners. I work a part-time remote job, giving me flexible weekdays for pet care, including overnights. I mainly book weekdays but can make certain weekends work. I love to collaborate with clients to create the best experience for their pets, staying attentive to their needs and creating a calm, comfortable environment, for example, by playing soothing music for pets.
“T’Wanna was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my cat had plenty of company and lots of pets and cuddles. She communicated well with me each step of the way letting me know how much food he had eaten, she replenished the water in the litter and let me know how he was doing overall. It meant so much that she spent so much genuine time making sure that my cat was comfortable and well cared for during her drop in. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again”

“Nicole was amazing with our puppy! We were very anxious dog moms and they did everything to calm our nerves! The pictures they took had us dying! Our puppy was clearly have the BEST time and was very comfortable with Nicole. Would highly recommend them!!”

About: Taking care of animals when explaining what I do is a understatement. I’ve had animals all my life, whether feeding, caring, etc… I’m the one to do it. I simply just have a genuine passion for pets. I’d have one of my own but I’m in school. From bathing, grooming, walking… I literally do it all. So let me get to know your pet. I currently work a Part-Time job so I definitely have freedom and time to care for your pet. My days are a little wonky, but I communicate so that won’t be a problem. In my home, a dog is not a animal. It might as well be a human. I treat ANY pet with extreme care, putting them first before my own self. In a client’s home, it’s the same way, obviously with owners guidelines in mind… I’d make sure the dog is in great hands and care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
