“Lavar and Amber do the absolute best job with our poodle, Zoey. She always comes back happy and tired from all the activity she gets. We love using them for our dog sitting needs!”
“Alexander was amazing! He gave frequent updates, lots of pictures and my golden, Scout had a blast with his golden, Archie! Will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Matt, Candice & family cared for Sam & Roxy like they were their own. A blessing to be able to enjoy our time away and know that our doggos got TLC in a loving home.”
“Our fur baby loves Tifaney! I know she’s being well cared for because she runs to Tifaney’s door when we arrive and we get lots of photos while we’re away.”
“Very wonderful sitter. Was very detailed and consistent in her updates. Lots of pictures. Lives active so kept my dog Briggs happy and exercised! Was very transparent and gave Briggs earned treats but also made sure to ask prior, which I very much appreciated. Highly recommended!”
“Amazing stay for our pup Grace …. thanks for keeping her safe when the leash broke. I can only imagine what that must have felt like for you. Next stay Grace will be on an e-collar, but she will respond to a leash as well. It’s more of a tickle prompt to get her attention for no pulling on the leash. Thanks so much for loving out pup.”
“Can I give 6 stars? Karen was great to work with. Very communicative and flexible. My dogs stayed for 2 weeks. Karen sent pictures and updates regularly. I loved her setup for the dogs. My dogs love to sit in the yard and watch the world. She's out in the country with horses nearby. I think they spent a lot of time there. Plus she has a special area in her house set aside for the dogs with beds and water. Overall a great experience”
“This was my first time leaving my pup Tony with someone! I went through all the “nervous dad” feelings, but the moment I got that first picture of my boy from Michelle i IMMEDIATELY felt better. Michelle and Bryce were so good at keeping him busy- it seemed like playtime was all day! They treated Tony like he was their own, and I’m so greatful! I wish I could book myself a vacation at Michelle and Bryce’s home!”
“Bailie is an excellent sitter. She is friendly, responsive, communicative, and responsible. She took great care of our two dogs and we would highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Kylie was able to accommodate a super last minute boarding for our dog, George, which we appreciated so much! This was his second stay with her, and we will happily book her again!”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful about communicating and sending updates about my dog. I feel confident she was well loved and was taken to the dog park to get her energy out. It was a relief to my husband and I knowing she was having fun and she was safe while we were on vacation.”
“My dogs had the best time and were well taken care of! So thankful that she was able to keep my pups while I was gone! Would recommend Amanda to anyone that needs a sitter while out of town! Will definitely be using her again!”
“We had a 10/10 Rover experience with Marissa! She was super easy to coordinate with and we could tell that she took the best care of Eddie. He was so sleepy when we brought him home from playing with her pup all weekend! We will definitely be calling her again.”
“Once again, Chandra has taken very good care of our little Shuri! Thank you so much for being so reliable and for providing such great care! We never have to worry when we leave her with you and your family!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. We’ve always had pets growing up, so I took part in walking, feeding, bathing, and loving many dogs. I even raised puppies when our dog had her own, bottle fed them, and trained them. We also have a golden retriever who I spend a lot of time loving on! I’m a nurse so I have several days off a week, but the days I am free vary! I know the days I’m scheduled to work months in advance, and it is pretty much set. We live in an apartment that is safe and pet friendly. It’s on the first floor. I’m very mindful of your space and taking care of your pup by your rules and what works best for him/her!
“I would highly recommend Roy for all your pet boarding needs. This is truly Clever’s second home. I left Clever with Roy two different weeks and was updated with pics and text messages daily”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Boston home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Boston.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Boston sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
