“Rachel took such great care of our buddy and we got lots of cute photos and updates. He had so many walks and fun that he didn’t even want to leave - we got to bring home a happy and well exercised pup (which takes a lot for our spunky terrier mix) Thanks for the extra love and care Rachel! Would absolutely schedule another stay :)”

“My very sweet, energetic and sometimes anxious Ruby had another very happy stay with Michelle. I can tell how much Michelle loves dogs in how thoughtful she is interacting with them. Although I miss Ruby while I'm away, it is so so comforting knowing she is with Michelle, & getting such wonderful attention & care. Thank you, Michelle!!!”

“Jia was very kind and accommodating in taking Alfie in at a very short notice. Unfortunately, Alfie and Pancho didn’t pass each other’s vibe check and got into a spat because of which we had to cut short the stay. Sometimes two very nice dogs just can’t get along well. Jia was very helpful throughout the process and cared for Alfie for the remainder of the long day and shared cute pictures. 10/10!”


“Jamie was great taking care of Maya, she sent me multiple updates throughout the week and made sure Maya was comfortable and happy!! I would definitely recommend her and will use again in the future!!”

“Felice was very communicative and took great care of my old dog Charlie. She let us introduce Charlie a couple of days before his stay and remained in communication throughout to let us enjoy our time away without worrying about his wellbeing. Would recommend!”

“Emily & Daniel were fantastic! They took such great care of Ubu and thoughtfully checked in beforehand to see if there was anything more to know about her routine. Communication was easy, and I really appreciated the photos during her stay. Their dog, Thomas, is adorably—I loved seeing him and Ubu snuggled up!”

“Cody was a fantastic sitter for our pup while we were away for a long weekend. She provided great daily updates and was incredibly kind, flexible, and communicative when our pup experienced some separation + thunderstorm anxiety during his visit and when we experienced flight delays on our return trip home. We will definitely re-book with Cody in the future!”

“Always a pleasure seeing the pictures of my pooch happy while we are away. The only downside is she is sad to leave Elliot for a day or two after! Always seek Elliot first!!!”


“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”

“Zarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)”

“Our dog sitter backed out at the last minute so I went on Rover just two days before our trip. I read the reviews about Ruya and can attest that they're all accurate. Ruya was fantastic! She responded immediately Once I met her I felt great leaving our dog with them. She was so kind, treated our dog well and sent pictures each day. Our dog didn't want to come home! Will be certain to use Ruya again.”

“Megan was wonderful throughout the entire process. We got picture updates every day and he was absolutely loving all the walks and cuddles. Absolutely would recommend.”

“It was our first time leaving Miss Kiki alone with anyone else overnight and we were a bit worried how she’d react. Well, Victoria put me at ease with a meet/greet a couple of days before to get acquainted. She stayed over for two full nights and during that time I received pics of their walks, bath and just hanging out cuddling etc. I would/will call upon Victoria again - she truly put me at ease. Oh, and Miss Kiki loved her too!”

“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”

“Zach was very responsive and easy to communicate with before and during our dog’s stay with him. He sent us photos regularly. Our dog was excited to see him again, which is always a good sign he had a good time!”

“Karen watched Quinn for 3 nights and was great! She was super communicative, sending updates and pictures about how Quinn’s weekend was going. Quinn even got to go to a dog friendly beach - which she loved! I would definitely use Karen again in the future.”


“Svetlana was amazing with Kaiser. She took amazing care of him and kept us up to date with all the activities during his stay. We received a lot of pictures and information on how he had spent each day. We really appreciate the love and attention that Svetlana showed towards Kaiser and we are looking forward to booking her again to take care of him!”

“Haowen and his girlfriend were wonderful Rovers! I found Haowen after my previously-booked Rover cancelled last minute. Because of the last minute booking, I was very nervous, but Haowen was very attentive and asked a lot of questions up front to understand my dog’s needs and how best to accommodate her. During her stay, I received multiple pictures per day showing her having a wonderful time with Haowen.”

Boston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lailoo was so great with our 2 year old puppy Harry. It was so nice getting updates throughout the day along with pictures to see what they were up to and how he was doing with her. Bathroom and feeding updates were great for us too so we know his state when we get home! She played with him and walked him and made sure he was hydrated in this heat wave! I completely trust her with any future dog sits!

Josiah and Arlene were AMAZING!! So glad to have found them. They were so sweet with Nova, very communicative, and so easy to work with. Nova absolutely loved his time with them and he can be a high maintence boy!! They handled him and his anxiety in crowds and gave him the best weekend!! Will definitely use them agaib

Upasna aunty is hands down the most trustworthy dog boarder we’ve ever had. From the moment we dropped off our pup, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in the best hands. She gave him so much care and attention, kept us well-informed throughout, and our dog came back absolutely happy and content. If you’re looking for someone who truly treats your pet like family, look no further!

Peyton took great care of my puppy, Luna while I was away for the weekend. She was very reliable and attentive and I could tell Luna was very happy and content to be in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates which I really appreciated, and I’d definitely recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
