“Lyn is incredibly experienced with seemingly all ages of dogs and was fantastic about keeping us updated on how Elly was doing. I will undoubtedly get in contact with Lyn again in the future.”
“Arnav is a very responsible and loving young man. He sent often photos of our puppy where we can tell that he was really taken care of and very loved. He and his family were always welcoming and stayed in communication with us. Our dog is part of our family and I would definitely rebook with Arnav, I highly recommend him. He will offer safety love and communication! Thanks Arnav ❤️”
“Ilya was one of the best sitters we’ve ever boarded with! He was very responsive, communicative, and responsible with our senior pup, Zuko. We really loved how many photos Ilya sent of our dog during the trip, showing how comfortable Zuko was in his home. I cannot recommend Ilya more — we will definitely be repeat clients. :)”
“Miley stayed with Aurora for 4 nights while I was away on a vacation. Her pup Madi and Miley became BFF’s. She sent regular updates and she was very prompt and quick responding to my texts. Miley is my daughter and I’m very nervous leaving her at someone’s place. But Aurora did a a great job taking care of Miley and treated her like her own pup. I would definitely like Miley to have her next vacation at her place. Adding to this their pup Madi is a wonderful dog very friendly.”
“We left our dog, Elsa, with Shuhua for almost two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Shuhua was caring, communicative, and very flexible, which made everything so much easier. She sent us regular photo updates throughout Elsa’s stay, giving us great peace of mind. It was clear that Elsa was well cared for, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We would absolutely leave Elsa with Shuhua again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Mia & David take great care of our dog. They are very attentive to her needs and send lots of updates. We feel very comfortable whenever we leave her with them and highly recommend their care. Will definitely continue working with them.”
“Greta and her pup Juniper were wonderful hosts! My dog is nervous in new places and is more comfortable when another dog is around. Greta was patient and loving. I felt really comfortable leaving him with her for the weekend. Greta gave lots of updates and pictures. Would definitely recommend!”
“Matias is such a wonderful and reliable sitter! I can’t recommend him enough. I’ve had several last minute trips pop up, and it’s such a comfort knowing my Mochi has a home away from home.”
“Michelle always takes excellent care of my girl, Gertie. She is responsive, provides regular updates, and is the kind of auntie every pup hopes to have. Gertie can't wait for her next sleepover there!”
About: I WORK ON SITE M-F, 9-5pm. I have some flexibility and can come home for lunch. I have a dog of my own, so I know the deal. Walking my dog and hanging out with her is the best part of my day, and I would love for your dog to join. Weekends are my focus and I’m free for shenanigans and long walks! I have my own dog so 3-4walks on the weekend is our normal. I would consider weekdays, but we would have to talk because I work full time on site M-F, so during the week they would have a 20-30min morning walk and 1-2 afternoon walks. I have a well mannered dog friendly dog at home and I would care for your pet like I would mine…which means a lot of attention. Dogs would have to be able to do 3 flights of stairs or be pick-up-able
“Lynne took such great care of Napoleon. Napoleon is a senior dog with diabetes and cushings disease and Lynne had never given insulin shots to a dog before but took it on without fail! Napoleon came home super happy and healthy. We are so thankful to have found Lynne to care for our little old man while we went away for the week.”
“Christina was great! She sent me a bunch of photos each day and took Leo on multiple walks daily! He was tired when I picked him up and that takes a lot to do. Will absolutely book again”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Man and Zhen! I could tell she was well cared for and loved on through their check ins and photos. I really appreciated their flexibility and communication. We aren't local but if we're ever back in the area would definitely use them again and would recommend!”
About: I have been a passionate dog and cat owner all my life, and animals are truly my world. I recently lost my wonderful dog, and while I’m not quite ready to bring a new pet into my home permanently, I have so much love left to give! I would love to step in and care for your fur babies exactly as if they were my own. Whether your pet is an energetic pup who needs a long, fun walk to burn off energy, or a sweet cat who just needs some quiet companionship and a fresh bowl of water, I adapt to whatever routine they feel safest with. I’m incredibly reliable. I will send photos and text updates so you always have peace of mind while you're away. I’m friendly, reliable, and love spending time with pets. I work during the week but have summers off, so I’m available every day in the summer. From September to June, I’m free after 3:30 p.m. I’m happy to help with afternoon walks and weekend pet sitting. I’m patient with animals, follow care instructions carefully, and make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and a safe, steady routine. I’ll send updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, I live right by the beautiful Mystic River walking trail, which is absolutely perfect for daily exercise! I love taking dogs out for long, scenic walks along the water where they can get plenty of fresh air, mental stimulation, and physical activity. When we are inside, I keep a very close eye on my guest pets to ensure they are safe and comfortable. I am highly attentive and will always use a secure leash during our outdoor adventures. Your pet will get a consistent routine, lots of companionship, and plenty of outdoor time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
I am so grateful for the wonderful care Michiko and Clifford gave my small and anxious dog for her two- day visit. They made sure to understand and accommodate her feeding and routines, and their thoughtful reports showed that she was receiving lots of attention. The daily updates and pictures were great to receive, and I especially enjoyed knowing she also had the good company of their friendly dog. I am confident that she was safe and happy in their home.
Mary Kate was a fantastic sitter! She gave us frequent updates and photos and took great care of our dog when we were out of town. She was also extremely flexible and understanding when our flights got canceled and we had to extend our trip, adding another day of care for our dog.
We're very happy to have found Andrew on Rover and we'll definitely book with him again. Percy enjoyed his stay and was exceptionally well taken care of in Andrew's home. We were away for the weekend during a big storm when it was truly challenging to walk a dog. Nonetheless, Andrew made sure that our energetic Percy got some outside time and stimulation. Andrew's calm and confident personality was a perfect match for our big goofy golden retriever, who at 2-1/2 years old is still in puppy mode. Thank you Andrew! We appreciate you!
We had a great experience with Maisy caring for our dog, Cosmo! We booked on short notice, and she was communicative from the start and worked us into her schedule. Cosmo had a wonderful time playing with her dog, Waffles, and Maisy sent lots of photos and updates that showed us they were having a blast. When our flights home were delayed, Maisy was incredibly flexible and worked with us on the logistics of an alternate pickup time. We really appreciated her love and care for Cosmo, and we would absolutely book with her again!
My cat is great with drop in visits but this is the first time I’ve had to leave him with a boarder so I was definitely anxious, especially for a month apart! Mia went above and beyond to make sure the transition was smooth. She loved and cared for him as if he was her own cat. Lovely photos and updates, attentive, thoughtful, and great communication. World class service, don’t hesitate to book with her!
My dog Sputnik did great with Sophia! He came back happy and very clearly well cared for, and her cat Sushi was a sweet new friend for him. In addition, Sophia was really accommodating to our schedule when we needed some flexibility surrounding drop off and pick up, she was incredibly responsive and kind. I will book with Sophia again in a heartbeat!!
Nitzan and her family were wonderful! They helped out cricket and I with a last minute booking, and were very flexible and communicative. Cricket came back from her weekend happy and healthy, and overall it was an absolute pleasure to interact with them and leave cricket in Nitzan’s care.
Lee was fantastic! My Coco is 15 and slowing down. He immediately recognized her needs and was truly attentive to them. She made new friends both canine and human, got plenty of exercise and was beautifully groomed! We are so grateful to have found her a new friend. Thanks Lee!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet .
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 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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
