“Ponyo is a little anxious pup especially if meeting for the first time. Dohwee was patient with Ponyo and during the second visit, Ponyo had fun time with Dohwee. Very patient and caring! Will come back to him again”


“Angela took such great care of my pup Gilly! She was super responsive and sent consistent updates throughout the day. In every photo I could tell that Gilly was comfortable and having a great time. Would definitely trust Angela to watch Gilly again!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”


“I am very glad I found John, as he was such a caring & attentive & calm sitter for slightly anxious dog. He gave routine updates & pictures to keep me informed of how things were going, & I can tell my dog had a very comfortable stay. I will definitely be booking John again!”


“Alix was absolutely amazing and I am so thankful I chose her to watch Clark for the weekend! She was so flexible and responsive. I booked her very last minute but she had no problem taking Clark in and watching him! She sent amazing updates throughout the weekend so I always knew how Clark was doing. She went above and beyond for Clark and when I picked him up he was the happiest pup ever! Will definitely be booking with Alix again!!!”


“Rachel was an exceptional dog sitter. My dog LOVED staying with her and was very happy when I returned home. Rachel kept in constant contact during my trip and sent lots of pictures! I highly recommend her to anyone who has a dog that they love!”


“Nate was exceptionally tentative with the dogs and extremely communicative. Sky and Winnie had a wonderful time and we would definitely want to book with Nate again!”


“Victoria was an amazing dog sitter. Daily updates with pictures were available and quick replies with any questions or issues. She was really flexible with the stay and watching Bella.”


“Anna is absolutely our dream sitter for our very playful and energetic border collie, Atlas. She and her husband gave Atlas so much love and attention everyday. Anna voluntarily sent us many lovely photos and videos of our pup as well as detailed updates daily. They loved Atlas as if she was their own, and we could tell how happy Atlas was staying with them. We felt at ease every day knowing that Atlas was under the care of such a wonderful and caring couple. We believe Atlas was on her own vacation! Thank you again. Atlas cannot wait to see them again. 😄”


“Jordan was absolutely fantastic! She treated Addie like she was her own! We were so happy that we booked our next boarding the same day we picked Addie up from this one!”


“Barbara was incredible - she was easy to coordinate and communicate with, sent plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay, and gave him lots of care and affection.”


“Tae was available on short notice to keep my baby during a family trip. She sent tons of pics and updates which I very much appreciated and my baby seemed to very much enjoy herself during her stay with Tae! Would definitely recommend her taking care of anyone’s sweet fur babies! Her dog, Udon, was so cute and sweet as well!”


“Yizi sent lots of pictures, responded promptly to any questions. My small dog was very happy to arrive at her apartment and was well rested and content when I picked him up. I would definitely book with her again!”


“This was Sandy's first time meeting Ziggy and the two seemed to get along famously. My pup seemed relaxed and well taken care of. And Sandy sent me a group of photos after she had him for a few hours. I'd be totally comfortable leaving him with her over night or for a shorter stay.”



“Lyn was so kind to our two little dogs. It was the first time in 8 years that they were with a new sitter. We were moving so our dogs were already apprehensive with packing. Her calm, gentle and super competent demeanor was exactly what we were looking for. Lyn sent photos daily so we could see how our dogs were doing. Highly recommend her!”


“Nalix is probably the most experienced sitter that Elly has ever stayed with. She knew exactly how to handle Elly as she got adjusted to the apartment and when she showed some exhibits of resource guarding. Her apartment has a nice fenced in area outside for easy access to fetch at any point in the day. I would 100% ask Nalix to watch Elly again.”


“Rachel was fantastic and accommodating! We were stuck in Mexico and without even the slightest hesitation she went above and beyond to help taking care of our pup. Along the way, she sent multiple pictures and updates and we would definitely ask for her help again in the future!”


“Absolutely love her she was amazing, Zwany and Leandro took amazing care of my pup. My dog stayed over night and they sent so many photos and videos. She sent us home with some treats that my puppy is very excited about! Definitely recommend and can’t wait to use their service again they are the best!!”


“Brianna was a fantastic sitter!! The attention and care she gave to Oakley during his visit made it feel like we left him on a doggie vacation. So many walks and cuddles, you could tell from the photos that he was so spoiled the whole time. When we came to pick him up he didn’t want to leave! I’ve never seen him love a sitter so much!! Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”


“Thank you so much for watching Harley! I could tell immediately that she felt comfortable/trusted you when I dropped her off and it made such a difference in allowing me to enjoy my trip. She’s already eaten the treat you sent her home with.”

Area Iv dog parents share their Rover experiences
Erica was incredible! Before the visit she was very thorough at our meet and greet, making sure she fully understood Tupelo’s schedule and needs and letting Tupelo get acquainted to her home. Erica arrived perfectly on time for Tupelo’s pick up and drop off. Throughout Tupelo’s stay Erica was very communicative and sent daily pictures and videos that showed our pup enjoying all of her favorite things which put us right at ease. It was very clear that Tupelo loved her stay with Erica. In fact, Tupelo even didn’t want to say goodbye when her stay was over. We would recommend Erica over and over again!

We used Anh for an extended stay, and she was great. Our dog posed some difficult challenges throughout the stay. Anh worked hard to overcome those challenges and even help us correct them long term. She is a hard worker that is very diligent in her efforts to ensure your dog is properly taken can of. I would highly recommend Anh.

Cricket couldn’t have been better cared for—and the evidence was in her smiling pics (of which there were many during our mutual vacations!) From the beginning of our communication, everything was seamless. I can’t recommend this great duo highly enough!!! If you don’t believe ME, just ask Cricket!!!! I think she can’t wait until her next visit!

Jennifer and Darren are amazing. Lula has had 2 stays now. Firstly she stayed for 5 nights and then recently a 3 night stay. Jennifer kept me updated with messages and photos every day. Lula loves staying with them and I would highly recommend booking your pet. Gutted that we are leaving Cambridge and will have to find a new sitter now in Florida. I just hope Lula settles as well as she has with Jennifer and Darren.

Ruya is wonderful! Her and her husband are big animal lovers and you can see it right away. They have been so attentive with my dog and kept communication consistent and clear. My dog came back so peaceful and well taken care of. They sent videos and pictures throughout the stay and cuddled and played a lot with him- which is all a dog mum wants!

William and his wife were incredible! They watched our 3.5 month old golden mix olive and she had so much fun I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home. He was extremely communicative and sent consistent photos and updates. She adored their two Goldens and their trips to the park together. She also came home with freshly laundered linens, she herself smelled amazing and there was an enrichment toy that she took a liking to that William gave her. 10/10 would recommend and will plan on sending her to be with them in the future!
