“It was our first time with Taylor and Andrew and our first time leaving Buddy for vacay. While we were gone we received pics and updates everyday on how he was doing. He enjoyed his with time with his new friends Stella and Lucy. We will definitely take him back here for any upcoming travels.”
“We love Emily! Our cocker spaniel has stayed with her twice now and comes home happy and healthy. The last time we dropped her off, she could tell when we were getting closer to Emily's house and was getting so excited! She ran right inside without looking back and was excited to play. Leaving her with Emily brings us such peace and reassurance knowing she is in good hands. We are so glad we found someone we can trust with our sweet fur baby! Thank you so much, Emily!”
“Savannah was fantastic! We were looking for a sitter where our pup could have his own space and Savannah went above and beyond with him. We loved getting the daily updates and pictures and our boy came back very happy from his time at Savannah’s. We will definitely be using her as a sitter in the future!”
“So kind to our pups and made it so easy to coordinate. Super fast response times and sent lots of pics while the pups were with them. They even sent them home with cute bandanas that we will cherish always. Amazing care takers!”
“They were so great with Harriet and it seems like I missed her more than she missed me. I’ll definitively hit them up again and they also have the perfect backyard for a large baby like Harriet. I’m so incredibly grateful for their services and care!”
“Rhonda was wonderful! She took such great care of my dog and made him feel right at home in her lovely, safe, and welcoming home. He had a great weekend with her, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for. Rhonda was also very responsive and kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Rhonda for your pup and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Berenice is incredible kind and has a genuine care and love for dogs! We booked an 5 day stay for our 14yo cocker. Berenice sent pictures and updated us on how he was doing which was comforting as we don’t typically leave our dog, especially now in his old age. Would rebook anytime and highly recommend.”
“Nick was phenomenal with our girl! She had so much fun playing in his yard and playing games with him inside. I would have no hesitations booking with him again, and I highly recommend using him as a dog sitter.”
“Ami is the greatest sitter we have ever had on Rover . Not only did she book us at the last moment her care for Stella was more than I could ever imagined. I knew Ami was kind and caring when Stella and I first met her and I am very cautious about using just any sitter. Ami kept us updated with photos and brushed her fur while sitting. Stella actually came back looking better than before I took her to Ami! She is the best and will always be my choice of sitters.”
“Saddaf was amazing with my little dog Ollie! She asked lots of great questions to make sure he was comfortable and kept his routine well! Her updates were so helpful and made me feel so relaxed while my dog was with her. I will be using her services again as I really appreciated the care she gave my dog and he had a great time staying with her.”
“So so sad that our two dogs Mike & Finn won’t be able to stay with Todd & Bill since we’re heading to the east coast. Wish we could take them with us! Our boys are always so happy when they arrive at Todd & Bill’s and we always get plenty of pictures. Truly going to miss them and their care for our two dogs. Excellent service and would highly recommend to anyone looking for your dogs to have a home away from home! Thank you guys for all the times you’ve watched our pups!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with this family! They took such great care of our dog, Junie, for two days and treated her like she was part of their own family. They kept us updated, made sure she was comfortable and well cared for, and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Junie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We are so grateful for their kindness and would absolutely trust them to care for Junie again. Highly recommend!”
“Charlie and Shanna was awesome! They were very patient and kind and answered all questions and concerns my husband and I had. They took great care of our bullmastiff for the 3 days we were out of town. Will definitely rebook and recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: My name is Tony, better known as Philly. I am a professional dog trainer and also provide boarding. I have always had animals in the house growing up, however, dogs have always been the closest to my heart. I love going to the dog park, beach, even an empty field to play fetch. I have various enrichment activities that will keep your pup occupied while in my care, as well as, a number of cots for those relaxing moments. I have 2 personal pups; Stella, a 7yro Blue Pit and Bagheera, a 2yro Cane Corso. Both are trained and love to play. Any further questions, please simply ask! I do this as a profession so I'm home often. Day starts at 6a for the pups. Potty breaks, breakfast, digestion, play, leash training and decompress/relax. Throughout their stay we go on various walks (group and individual), depending on the weather, we will hit the park for some leg stretching or a simple 2-5mi walk, which is more for my exercise 😅 I have an enclosed backyard with tug toys, flirt sticks, water bowls and various other treats and chew toys. I have a huge garage with industrial fans and industrial exhaust to regulate the room. Theres also a thermostat for added piece of mind.
“Carolina is a such a wonderful sitter, her care and attention is evident from the initial messages to drop off, all throughout the stay and pick up. I would highly recommend her to care for your pup.”
“Angie did a great job taking care of Kona! She kept very prompt communication and was very flexible w our odd hours. In addition she provided lots of pictures to keep me updated on how Kona was doing!”
“Charles was awesome! He took great care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is anxious with new people, but he definitely knows what he’s doing and quickly earned her (and my) trust. He was very easy to work with and my dogs had a great time. I will definitely come back to him next time! Highly recommend!”
“Stacy, and her family, are amazing! We trusted our dog with Stacy over a long weekend! She and her family took great care of Nemo. She does a fantastic job with giving us regular updates. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that they give such great care!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bostonia
We couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of our little Louie while we were away. Taylor and Andrew were absolutely wonderful! They sent us daily pictures and videos, which we loved receiving. It was so reassuring to see Louie happy, playing with other doggies, getting lots of cuddles and going on all kinds of fun adventures. He had the time of his life!
This was our first time bringing our dog Benny to Madison and it was a fantastic experience. We appreciated the meet and greet prior since Benny can be a little much in the personality department, they answered all our questions and left us feeling nothing but sure it was the right fit for us. Benny spent his first weekend there and he did great, we received pictures and updates letting us know he was having a great time. Appreciate the knowledge and experience both Madison and Moses bring to taking care of our babies! Highly recommended and we will be sure to bring Benny back again and again!
Dallas & Bri were so amazing to both me and my baby, Kojak! Given how nervous he is, they took time out of their days weeks prior to go on a small walk with us so he knew their smell and voices. They were so patient in waiting for him to open up and especially with me as the planned dates and times of sitting got wonky. It was my first time using Rover and I could not recommend them enough!
Christina did a great job of taking care of our two fur babies for the week that we were gone. I was a very nervous pet parent leaving them because it had been several years since we had anyone pet sit them and I work from home so they're used to having one of the family members with them pretty much all the time. She helped calm my fears and send daily updates with pictures. She was very attentive to their needs and proactive when our allergy prone girl got itchy paws or ears. We had booked with another sitter and didn't feel comfortable. Christina was super gracious in taking our last minute booking. I highly recommend using her for any of your pet needs.
Angela is wonderful! She treats any dog in her care with love, gives attention, and supplies the dog owner with updates + photos. Our dogs almost don't want to leave because they are sooo happy. I highly highly recommend Angela for day care and boarding. It is such a relief to know that my dogs are loved and cared for while I'm out of town. I think she under charges, so I always give a nice tip:)
Rami was the sweetest to work with! Thank you so much rami for treating my baby with so much patience and love. I could see it in the videos and pics you were sending! I can’t wait to work with you again! I’ve never used this app before and I’m so grateful I got such a wonderful person for my first time :)
I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter! From the moment I left my dog, she treated her like family. My dog is like one of my kids, so I truly appreciated the level of care she provided. The daily photos showed my baby looking relaxed, happy, and completely at ease, which made it easy for me to enjoy my time away without any worries. Her dogs were friendly and immediately got along with mine, creating a calm and happy environment. This was especially helpful for my dog, who is an only dog at home. The entire experience was smooth, thoughtful, and genuinely reliable. Her communication was clear, and it’s evident that she has a real gift for understanding animals and making them feel safe. I would book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to stay in a home that truly pays attention and cares.

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 Bostonia 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 Bostonia.
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 Bostonia 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 CA 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.
