“Peter and his family took great care of our 2 active golden retrievers! They made our dogs feel at home giving them plenty of comfy spots to snuggle up but also gave them lots of play time both in and outside! I would definitely recommend Peter and his loving family to pet sit.”
“Paul is just the best. Very communicative and makes pick up & drop off super easy. Love the frequent picture updates of our dog’s staycations. Gives us peace of mind that Thomas is getting constant care and attention when we’re out of town. Thankful to have found Paul on Rover and I know Thomas is, too! Highly recommend.”
“Nicole saved the day! She took one of my pups while the other one recovered from knee surgery. She was responsive, thoughtful, king, and took wonderful care of Rudy Boo. She treated him like he was their own - walks, time outside, and sleeping in the bed. I would not hesitate to board with Nicole again.”
“Laura was wonderful with our two Labs. We were away for 10 days so a long time to try a new sitter. Our dogs (a senior and a 4 year old) were incredibly well cared for and came he healthy and happy! Laura sent us photo updates, so we knew they were in great hands and could enjoy our vacation. We will definitely request Laura again!!”
“Fabulous from first contact! Jordan is super responsive and calm with anxious dogs. She has her own a rescue dog Ollie who our dog loved. Our dog was very eager to get into their house to see Ollie after only 1 prior meeting. Jordan took lots of photos and worked hard to try to get our anxious pup to eat and drink enough. She made sure the new playmates got both exercise and times to rest. It was great knowing she was well cared for in a home environment. We would definitely book again.”
“Gabriel was super responsive and communicative. This was our first time boarding our older adopted beagle. Gabriel worked with him to socialize him with the other dogs and made him very comfortable during his stay. I would recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
“Thank you Alex so much for taking care of Moab during July 4th weekend. Alex accommodated short notice boarding and very flexible with pickup/drop off time. Tons of update pictures he sent throughout the days. No issues with the stay whatsoever. I trust Alex caring for my senior dog. I will definitely use Alex next time when I’m out of town. No doubt!”
“Jesse and her family took great care of my Ginger. I received lots of updates with pictures and videos throughout the stay. My dog looked very happy and safe. I would book her there again in the future.”
“Our pup, Monty, had a great stay with Souvik and Meghan. I would highly recommend to anyone, especially those who might be nervous about boarding their fur babies. It was Monty's first stay with non-family and from the first meeting I felt very comfortable! They answered all of my questions and gave us daily updates with pictures so we knew that he was settling in okay! They treated our pup like their own and we are so grateful!”
“Adriana and her family are so understanding, sweet, and dedicated caregivers. Your dog will be in good hands with someone who really takes the extra time and effort to make sure they are comfortable and having fun. She is very responsive and sends frequent picture updates.”
“Victoria was a fantastic host. Her house is clean and has a nice fenced in back yard for the dogs to play freely. She has two very friendly dogs which was a huge plus since ours loves to play. Will certainly look to book with her again!”
“Cathy and family were awesome. The meet and great was easy and comfortable, and Cathy was extremely responsive. Our trip was extended and they happily kept our dog for an extra night. We will absolutely be working with Cathy again! Highly recommended.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and walking dogs of family and friends. I have also cared for puppies and animals with disabilities. I work from home and have the flexibility to make my own schedule on most weekdays. Afternoons are preferable for dog walking, though I can usually make accommodations for AM walks as well. I will mainly be offering dog walking services, so caring for the animals in my home will likely not be required. However, if a client needs at home care, I am willing to be flexible, depending on their preferences.
“Julie was amazing! She sent us pictures of Pepés adventures and told us about all the fun things they did. It was like a luxury vacation for pepé, he loved it. We will be return customers!”
“Bagel had a wonderful time with Jacqui! He got lots of love and attention while we were away. Jacqui took great care of him and sent lots of pictures of 🥯's adventures with her. He is already looking forward to next time!”
About: I am a responsible and caring dog owner with hands on experience raising my own Golden Retriever puppy. I understand the importance of feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, basic training, and providing lots of love and attention. I will treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I am reliable, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine and any special care instructions. As a dedicated dog mom to my 6-month-old Golden Retriever, pet care is already part of my daily routine. I plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and training. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your pet gets the same love, attention, and care that I give my own dog. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. As a Golden Retriever owner, I understand how important routine, exercise, and positive attention are. I always follow each owner’s care instructions, keep pets supervised, provide fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime and affection. I will treat your pet like a member of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
“Hannah was absolutely amazing with our strong-willed, yet anxious pup. She was incredibly communicative and did a great job keeping us posted regarding any developments (she also made sure to send us cute photos and videos at regular intervals). We will definitely look to book with her again when the need arises!”

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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 MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
