“Helena was amazing with our Cocoa. She loves our fur baby like it’s her own. She reached out when there was an issue with home entry (totally all my fault) and adjusted to gain access and provide care for Cocoa. Can’t wait to book with her again!”


“Anna did drop in visits for our two 80 lb boxers. She was very reliable, communicated well, and our pups seemed very well cared for when we got home. We will use her again!”


“Catherine was amazing! I can't say enough great things about this experience! From the start, communication was excellent — prompt, clear, and thoughtful. I always felt completely in the loop while we were away. Catherine sent us so many wonderful photos. It was such a comfort to see our cat happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for in every photo. They really went the extra mile to make sure my pet felt safe and loved ❤️ She took the time to understand his personality and needs, which made a huge difference, and we could tell right away at the meet and greet that Shadow really enjoyed her company. Reliable, kind, and clearly passionate about animals — I’ll absolutely be rebooking for future trips. Highly recommended!”


About: I cared for pets since I was 10 years old. If I see a dog out in public, I always have to ask their person if I can pet their dog. I have trained puppies with basic obedience and potty training. I believe that dogs need to be socialized if possible. I have also cared for elderly dogs and had to administer shots and pills. My little guy was a rescue that lived for 20 years. I don’t currently have a full time dog in my home. I just said goodbye to him in November 2024. I sometimes keep my girlfriend’s miniature labradoodle. He is about 30 lbs and is great with other dogs, kids and people. He has a fun personality and is a great playmate for other dogs. I also sometimes do weekend fostering for service dogs in training with Canines for Service. I work from home. I am a single father. It is just me and my teenage son. We are both very active and love animals. I am available to spend plenty of time with our furry friends. My little buddy passed away after 20 years in November 2024. So I do not currently have any pets in my home. I do watch my girlfriend’s dog from time to time. He is a great playmate for other dogs. He is friendly with all people and other dogs. He has quite a personality. He only weighs 30 lbs. I only watch 1 dog at a time unless there is a second dog within the same family. I will watch up to 2 dogs from the same family together. I live in a quiet community with sidewalks and established trees. I have a fenced yard. I can let them out frequently. I also like to take them for walks at my home or your home.

About: I have trained my dog, and have had pets my whole life. I have dog sat constantly and have taken care of other animals. I have had other pets like guinea pigs and lizards. I love being able to walk my dog and take care of any other pets. I always make time to hang out with pets. I also have a pet hamster currently. I am very loving towards any animals. I love being around them and hanging out with them. I feed and play with them, along with walking them. I make sure they get enough attention throughout the day and get all their lovings in.

“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter. Both my dogs are rescues and they warmed right up to Bleiz. I have the utmost confidence that my girls are in the best hands when I travel. I would definitely recommend Bleiz to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets.”


About: I have taken care of 3 huskies consistently in my life, namely my own dog Blu. I have also watched family friend’s pets over the years and love doing it. When I'm not in classes, I like to pet sit when I have the time. Don’t hesitate to reach out even if it’s short notice, I’d love to help out if I can. Whether your pet is independent or sticks to people like glue, I’ll do my upmost to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I know how scary it can be to leave your furry friend in the hands of someone else, so I work my hardest to make sure I can be someone both you and your pet can rely on.

“Very impressed with Aanae & her abilities to work with our highly unsociable Sneaky cat. She really took the time to sit with her and make every attempt to get her to come out and play. This is our second time having Aanae care for Sneaky & we would book again with confidence!”


“Absolutely phenomenal. Went on a trip for 4 days by plane. Usually I bring my pup with me but this wasn’t an option this time. Ruth took SUCH great care of him. She sent pictures, gave awesome updates. I was nervous my pup would be anxious or sad while I was gone, but I’m not even sure he noticed I was gone once Ruth starting stopping in with him! Couldn’t recommend her enough. I have full faith and trust in her watching my only pup. The best experience I’ve had.”


About: Ever since I was a small child, dogs have been in my lifestyle. Growing up, my family owned a female German Shepard named Greta. We now own a miniature black Poodle named Oliver, and are in the process of receiving a new member of the dog family! As the years have gone by, I have become accustomed to new types of dogs, and participated in a few dog training sessions. I care intensely both for animals and humans alike, so my passion for caring does not stop at the dogs in your house. I am a full time college student, studying at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell. I hope to provide quality care for you and your pets, to the absolute best of my abilities!

“This was my first time using Rover but Sydnee was great and exceeded my expectations! Her visit updates were so detailed and made me feel less anxious and nervous about leaving my pups. She even asked for tips about the dogs to make them feel more comfortable too. All in all, it was an awesome experience and will definitely be using Sydnee again in the future! :)”


“Stephen was an excellent choice for our kitty care. He was communicative, inquisitive, and prompt. He had thorough texts to share Chloe’s behavior and completed all steps through the Rover app. Stephen was able to administer insulin shots and kept her company during our trip. I definitely recommend him and will seek out his help again in the future.”


About: I’ve had pets, mostly dogs since I could remember. I currently have a rescue dog named Sadie. I take care of my family’s dog on occasion and enjoy being around them in general! Im currently firefighter and only work 10 days a month. I have plenty of off time and would love to spend my day around all different sorts of dogs. I currently live in an apartment but have access to a house with a fenced backyard. I’m open to walking dogs and very easy to work around.

About: I currently work from home and I was a vet tech for 20 years and have experience with special needs dogs and medication administering. I can specialize in senior care and dogs that may need a quieter home environment and a routine. I will also send you daily updates and videos of how they are doing through the day I work from home so I can give your pet lots of potty breaks and attention. They will have a routine when they get here so they feel comfortable in a new environment. I have a large and grassy fenced in back yard and they will have the company of my 13 year old Chihuahua, Kai. There are numerous dog beds but the pets are also allowed on the couch and in bed. I have pet steps available for dogs that need a little help getting onto the furniture. I will watch and care for them like my own pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits for 9 years now. I have experience in taking care of large and small dogs, those with disabilities, and those as young as 10 weeks. I am a college student taking 2 online classes this summer, so on a normal day I have full availability. Will edit if anything changes! At your home, I make sure to give the pets my full attention, and follow any given instructions. I’m good at reading animals’ emotions so I can understand when they need some space or want to play or be pet. I also enjoy to send photos to the owner to help bring them comfort.

About: I have had two senior dogs up until earlier this year. I had a chihuahua who lived until 20, and a lab that lived until 16. I love dogs so much, and I enjoy spoiling your pet with all the love I have! I'm also a runner, so I'm always down to take your pup on a good walk (or a run, if they're super active). I'm in-between jobs right now, so I am available at all hours! I have no office commitment and can be with the dog or cat at all hours. I give them lots of care and attention, regardless of special needs and requirements. All pets give us lots of love, so it’s important to give them lots of love back!

About: I've had pet dogs my entire life. My parents have me watch their dogs every time they go on vacation. I'm comfortable being around any dog, big or small. I'm currently applying to secondary employment while I transition into more hours at my current job. My availability changes weekly but I am generally flexible based on your needs. Comfortable taking your pet for leashed walks around the neighborhood as I walk my own dogs quite often. Also comfortable going to local parks at your discretion.

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, I’ve been the trusted go-to for friends, family, and neighbors whenever they need a reliable, loving sitter. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just lounging around, I provide personalized care that keeps tails wagging. I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and affection—treating them like part of the pack while you’re away. I have flexible work hours Monday through Friday, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pets with the attention, care, and love they deserve throughout the day. I’m also available for boarding on weekends and some weekdays as needed—just reach out, and we’ll find a schedule that works for everyone (especially your furry friend)! At my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fully fenced yard and a big, gentle poodle/boxer mix (a total teddy bear!) who I rescued about four years ago. He’s incredibly friendly and loves to play—especially with his best buddy, a 6-month-old kitten I recently adopted. They’re inseparable and always keep things lively! Pets in my care are welcome to roam the house freely, but I can easily crate them if that’s your preference or part of their routine. I’m extremely organized and great with schedules, so administering medications or sticking to specific care routines is no problem at all. Whether in my home or yours, your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and structure.
