“Liliana took amazing care of my dog, Brownie, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her dedication, professionalism, and kindness. From the very start, she showed genuine warmth and a true love for animals, immediately putting Brownie (and me!) at ease. She went above and beyond in every way—making sure Brownie was well-fed, exercised, and showered with affection. She kept me updated with photos and messages, so I never had to worry about how he was doing while I was away. It was clear that she treated Brownie like her own dog, giving him not just attention, but real companionship. When I returned, Brownie was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, trustworthy, and caring, and I’m truly grateful to have found Liliana. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

“Angelica was amazing with our pup! We were so nervous as we’ve had a bad experience when we left our Beagle puppy at a local pet resort and this was our first trip after that experience. However, Angelica went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable even before the actual booking. My husband and I travel a lot and after booking with Angelica we feel so confident that we’ve found a great boarding option for our pup. Our pup was so happy when we dropped her off and picked her up. Angelica sent us tons of pictures and updates for the days she had our pup. We are so happy with her service! Will definitely be booking again with her.”

“I’m genuinely so grateful I found these two for my first Rover experience. From the second we arrived, they were so warm and kind and Otis immediately picked up on it. He happily walked off with them without even looking back at me 😂 which honestly made me feel so relieved and comfortable leaving him there. They were incredibly communicative throughout the weekend, sent lots of updates and photos, and were so accommodating and responsive. It’s very clear how much they love and care for animals, and I never once worried about Otis while he was with them. He looked so happy and relaxed the entire time. I would absolutely trust them with him again and can’t recommend them enough!”

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Acton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Acton home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Acton. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
