About: Lifelong animal lover and wildlife rescuer, here for you and your pets About: I've cared for animals my whole life: dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and fish. I'm the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they need someone they trust with their pets, for walks, feeding, playtime, or just good company. I'm also the one who stops for hurt wildlife and brings them to the Tufts wildlife rehab clinic, so I stay calm in unexpected situations and I'm comfortable with animals of every temperament. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which means I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and day care. Your pet gets real attention plus plenty of updates and photos while you're away. I treat every animal like my own. I have a large yard where dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor time, plus a dog park just a 3-minute walk away for extra play and socializing. Dogs are never left unattended outside, and I keep a close eye on every pup in my care.
“I selected Leo to watch my dog Atlas overnight, since I was attending a wedding closeby. Leo was always very responsive and flexible. I love that he sent updates and pictures throughout the evening and the next morning. Atlas had no problem staying with Leo and I would definitely book him again!”
“Our experience with Rebecca was amazing! She provided daily updates that put our minds at ease while away from Scout. I would highly recommend her to all and will definitely be using her again!”
About: Having had dogs of my own throughout my life, I know how much our pets truly become part of the family. I am excited to care for and love a dog while giving them the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I'll treat your dog like they’re one of our own! I am happy to follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of cuddles and belly rubs, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Working from home provides plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time! I can easily take them out for regular bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime, while also giving them lots of love and cuddles throughout the day. I love having a furry companion around while I work! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. Since I work from home, I’m able to give your pet plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!
“Sara was very communicative and flexible throughout the entire process of arranging a meet and greet and coordinating everything for Luna's first stay. Luna immediately felt at home during the meet and greet which made us feel very comfortable right away. During the stay Sara responded to our questions and sent a few pictures which was great for us slightly anxious dog parents. Luna came home happy and tired and everything seemed to go well. We already have another stay with Sara booked! And home to use her for some daily adventures for Luna in Framingham.”
“Keith (and his wife) were phenomenal dogsitters for our two-year-old goldendoodle pup who stayed with them this past weekend, while we attended a wedding out of state. Keith kept us updated with many photos and updates during Teddy’s stay, which put my mind at ease as a very attached dog mom :) . We will definitely book with Keith again in the future!”
“Amy and Ryan are wonderful and so accommodating. They're able to keep constant care of our little guy Gersh, and give us the confidence we want that he'll be okay when we need to be away. Our flight home was recently delayed and with our work schedules the following day it could've been an issue, but we thankfully didn't need to worry. They immediately let us know it wouldn't be a problem at all, and were so understandable and easy to coordinate with. We're happy to have found them, and so is Gersh! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Kaylan and Kenny were great! They were able to accommodate our last minute request. Our dogs had a great time running around the fenced in yard and bathing in the sun. Thank you so much!”
“Casey and Phil were amazing! This was the first time leaving our pup with someone other than family. They did everything to make it a comfortable stay for her and she did awesome. Casey sent daily updates which made our vacation stress free because we knew our pup was having a great time. Definitely will book them again and would highly recommend Casey and Phil.”
About: Hi pet owners! I am so happy you are considering me to care for your pets. I am a life long animal lover, and have owned my own pets my entire life. I have had cats and dogs from every life stage of puppy to senior. Additionally I began pet sitting for family and friends in my teens for pets of all ages, sizes, and care needs. From basic feeding, walking, or scooping a litter box, to oral medication and bathing, let me know what your pet needs! I’m available for stop in visits for feeding, walking and general care. I have time on weekends as well as weekday mornings and evenings, we can work out a schedule that works best for your pet. I have 2 resident cats whom I do not want to disturb, so I will come to you and care for your pet in your space. I will clean up after the animals and help keep them happy in calm in a space they already feel space in.
“Anne and Joe are wonderful. So accommodating!! Being able to do a little meet and greet ahead of time was also so nice for my own peace of mind. I had no worries at all throughout my pup’s time with them. They made sure to keep me updated and sent me the cutest photos. I will certainly be booking with Anne and Joe again!!”
“Julie watched our dog, Arya, for us during our wedding. We have always left her with friends or family and this was the first time not doing so. Julie was very responsive during booking and had Arya and I do a visit to make sure everyone would be safe and comfortable. She did a great job keeping our girl safe, loved, and cared for during such an important time. Julie sent plenty of updates and was very communicative and responsive. I could not recommend her more!”
“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Samantha was so easy to work with and took great care of my senior small pup. I appreciated all of the photos and updates! I like how private Samantha's house is and how big the yard is. Thanks Samantha!”
About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve been raised with dogs my entire life, and I also have three years of hands-on experience at a doggie boarding and daycare facility. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all types, from reactive dogs to high-energy pups. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and am experienced in meeting the dietary and exercise needs of dogs. What Sets Me Apart: What truly sets me apart is my genuine compassion for animals. I offer a personalized experience, whether it’s hiking to burn off energy, providing calm and comfort for reactive dogs, or ensuring senior pups get the special care they need. My expertise in stimulating high-energy dogs and my knowledge of their specific needs makes me the perfect choice for your dog’s next adventure or stay! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I make sure to schedule time for walks, play sessions, and one-on-one attention for each animal I care for. Whether it’s getting up early to take a dog on a hike or spending extra time with a shy cat to build trust, I always prioritize their needs. I’m flexible and able to adapt to different schedules, ensuring pets get the love and care they deserve, no matter what else is going on in my day. In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where animals can thrive. For dogs, that means daily hikes, interactive play sessions, and plenty of cuddle time. I make sure each dog gets the exercise and attention they need to feel happy and secure. For cats, I adjust the atmosphere to their personality—whether it’s quiet, cozy space for a shy cat or active playtime to keep a kitten entertained. I’m also experienced with dietary needs, allergies, and administering medications if necessary. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it as an extension of my own. I make sure their routines are kept intact, from feeding schedules to favorite activities. I believe in providing consistent care that allows them to feel safe and comfortable, just as they would in their own home. Whether it’s a dog who loves to hike or a cat who needs extra TLC, I’m committed to offering personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m also skilled at handling reactive animals, training, and ensuring each pet’s emotional well-being is prioritized. My years of experience with both kittens and senior cats, combined with my ability to train and manage high-energy dogs, makes me stand out. I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m a pet caretaker who goes above and beyond to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.
“Eric was quick to respond and agreed to watch Wally at the last minute, which was super helpful. He was attentive to Wally's needs and sent photos throughout the day, keeping us updated on his stay. Eric has a super cute dog who seemed easygoing even when Wally got a bit exciteable at pick-up/drop-off. We would absolutely have Eric watch Wally again. Thank you!”

Sammie had another wonderful stay with Erin and Jon! Always happy to have Sammie stay over as they are such wonderful pet parents! I didn’t have to worry about her for one second and as always got the wonderful updates and videos to keep us informed on how our girl was doing. Thank you for making it so easy to leave Sammie. It is such a huge help! Thank you!
Julie and team were awesome, daily updates, terrific accommodations and the perfect yard for hours of playtime. Our Luke enjoyed his stay and meeting, mingling and playing with the other guests. Highly recommend if you are in the MetroWest area, conveniently located and superior communications.
Jessica was amazing with my giant, goofy lap dog! She was diligent and thoughtful in organizing our meet and greet with her adorable pup. She’s clearly experienced, caring, and responsible. I got some adorable pics of Marv having a swim in her back yard and he was happy and healthy as can be when I picked him up. I’d happily book with Jessica again on my next trip where Mr. Marv can’t join me 🐶☺️
Andrew was a fantastic dog sitter for our mini Goldendoodle, Hop. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he has a Goldendoodle of his own—our dogs got along really well and seemed to enjoy their time together. Andrew sent us daily updates, which we really appreciated, and he was always very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was clear Hop was in great hands the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with Andrew again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
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.
