“Elton had a fantastic stay! 🖤 She kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent lots of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Elton was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated her communication, kindness, and how attentive she was to his needs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Elizabeth was great. She was communicative, reliable and sent videos and pictures which gave me reassurances. I’m so grateful to have been connected to her and would definitely use her again.”
“Carol was great! She has a large property for the dogs to run and explore. My dog was small but he loved the openness of the property. Her communication was excellent. She is a gem.”
“Laura and Brian are amazing! My dog got hurt just before I had to go away and I felt so comfortable and confident in leaving my dog with them and that she would be taken care of, safe, and happy! My dog sees going to Laura’s house as a fun trip and is excited to go!”
“After our meet and greet with Emily and Mowgli we felt good about leaving Luna with them for an overnight stay. The stay went perfectly. Luna was well cared for and we felt comfortable that Luna was in good hands! Have already rebooked for another stay.”
“Jing is the best! She gave us updates about our dog several times a day and sent us videos and pictures. We feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. Our dog seems had lots of fun there. 100% recommend!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about the incredible care my senior dog received from Rika! At 16 years old, blind, deaf, and struggling with mobility and severe nighttime anxiety, my dog needed a lot of special attention. Rika was a total angel, truly heaven-sent, and made my dog feel comfortable and safe throughout my chaotic move. Her compassion and dedication were extraordinary. She adapted to my dog’s routine seamlessly, providing constant updates with photos and videos that put my mind at ease. Knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands was a huge relief. I highly recommend Rika to anyone who wants their pet to be treated like family with the utmost love and care!”
“Angelica was such a blessing to me and my little dog during this whole process. I had my worries as a first time use of this type of service as I've never left my dog with anyone outside of a few family members but my dog felt right at home with Angelica. Regular updates and pictures helped out my mind at ease in such a short period of time while I was out of state on business. I would highly recommend Angelica as an experienced sitter. She showed Sundae a lot of love and already made herself a second home and a friend for life. Will 100% call on her services again in the future.”
“Alice and John were very hospitable and took great care of my dog. They were very communicative with sending pictures and videos during her stay. Alice and John accommodated Spices routines and quirks and made a comfy home away from home. Would recommend for others looking for a home away from home for their dog and would board Spices at their house again in the future.”

“Janice is FABULOUS! She clearly gave our doggies much love. She sent us daily pictures and videos. She even WASHED one of my doggies and even washed their bed! I will always request her when we go out of town. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
“Amazing sitters!! I got so many fun picture updates while I was away so that I could stay up to date on my pups. Accommodating, caring, thorough, and flexible!! Will absolutely book again.”
“Barbara was amazing with Sherman! He is always a bit shy at the start and she was very understanding. He warmed up super fast and had a great visit!! If we are in the area again, we will absolutely use Barbara to watch Sherman!”
“We boarded our two dogs here for two nights and had a fantastic experience! Shahane was amazing—she sent us frequent updates and really helped us feel at ease knowing our dogs were in great hands. The facility was very clean and offered plenty of space for the dogs to run and play. When we picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a safe, welcoming environment for their pets!”
“This is Midnight's 6th stay with Nadege and she never fails to pull and run to her front door. Midnight is always excited to stay with Nadege. Nedege is extremely kind and accommodating. She truly has a heart for animals and I completely feel comfortable leaving my fur baby with her.”
“OUTSTANDING care for you fur babies!!! Walley and Anne provided excellent love, care, and attention for our dog, Shawnee. This was our first time having Shawnee away from us on a trip. We were out for nine days, so were a bit apprehensive about staying away so long for his first sitting. After talking with Walley and Anne and meeting them with Shawnee at our greet, I knew we made the best decision. They are very loving and professional pet parents themselves and extend this to all other visiting pets. They spent time getting to know Shawnee and what his needs and routines are, food, supplements, playtime, sleep, potty, and overall temperament, habits, and interests. Their goal was to provide the best home away from home for him with safety first. Walley and Anne took time to give me daily updates and photos of Shawnee which is lovely to receive. Our kids looked forward to opening up our messages. Shawnee made friends and had great social time, too. We will definitely be back with Walley and Anne for anytime needed away. We are so happy we found them and feel great that Shawnee will be with the best care during our next trip. Thank you Walley and Anne!!! ??❤️”
“They are the best! They take such amazing care of Frank. We know he’s in amazing hands. We love all the pics and updates and can see how happy Frank is. Thank you!!!”
“Bill and his family took amazing care of my dog. My dog has a lot of energy but I can tell they spent a lot of time with him and he enjoyed his time playing in their yard. I would definitely recommend and request for him to watch my dog again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Acton
Carole has a beautiful ranch with large secure areas for dogs to run around instead of being confined. The areas are large enough for multiple dogs to be in there at the same time so if a family has a need to board all of their dogs together, she can accommodate it. We had never left our dog for a long period of time before and Carole was patient with me even when I was being a worried dog mom.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Acton home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Acton.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Acton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
