“Sylwia was wonderful! Our dog was happy, healthy and clearly well cared for upon our return. We loved getting pictures and will definitely book with her again!”
“We used Sam to board our dog Mia for the first time recently, and she was absolutely amazing! We just adopted Mia two months ago (she’s a rescue from the south), so we were super nervous about leaving her for a week. At the dog hotel we used to use for our other pup, they literally charged us $4 per photo and we constantly had to beg them for updates. Sam was the exact opposite. Right from the meet-and-greet, she was so attentive and asked tons of questions to make sure she knew exactly how to give Mia the best care. While we were gone, she sent so many updates and pictures without us even having to ask, which gave us total peace of mind. She even handled Mia's allergy medication which was another concern of ours. Plus, her dog Poppy is the absolute cutest and friendliest pup ever! If want someone who will actually give you pup personal, hands-on love and attention, you need to book Sam.”
“Luke has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Murphy. This was our pup’s second stay with him, and it is clear how much he genuinely cares. Our dog loves him and always comes home happy, relaxed, and well looked after. Luke communicates clearly, sends updates, and creates a welcoming environment. It gives tremendous peace of mind knowing our dog is safe and enjoying his time while we are away. Highly recommend Luke for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life so I’m used to being around them. I also have had one other dog before and now have a mini dachshund. I’m very comfortable with taking care of dogs and having them in my space. I work a full time job at home, but I’m in control of my own schedule and am very flexible. I’m also available weekends and in the summer, I’m even more flexible. I take my dog out 2-3x a day depending on weather. We go on walk across the street at the park for about 15-20 min and when we are back inside, he is allowed to roam freely. He eats 2x a day with snacks in between and he always has water out. I play with him as much as I can throughout the day to make sure he doesn’t get too bored with his day too! My apartment is always clean to ensure that my pup doesn’t get into anything he isn’t supposed to. Lastly, my apartment building is secure as you need a key fob or someone to buzz you in to enter the building.
“Carol and her family are lovely! They took such great care of Stevie. I got a lot of pictures, great communication, updates and was relieved that Stevie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Carol.”
“Simon loves to stay over at Damaris house. She takes great care of Simon and keeps me posted throughout the stay by sending me pictures and videos of Simon. I highly recommend Damaris.”
“Lauren is a great sitter and Woody loved her! She was very playful and loving with Woody, I’m sure he had so much fun with her and Remy! Would definitely recommend her to sit your pet. I appreciate for all the help! Thank you!”
“I think my dog likes Liz more than me! He was happy to see me again and to come home, but if he could have, he would have moved her and her place in next door to us. Liz is gentle, picks up on important cues from the dogs, is thorough and just great. There was a complication in our premade arrangements with another sitter the night before we were scheduled to fly out of the country that could have ruined our 2 week honeymoon in Japan. Liz really stepped up for Rover and for us. She’s the very best.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have had three Shar Pei of my own. Shar Pei can be a challenging breed, and all three of mine experienced health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, including administering medications. I no longer have a dog in my home and have recently been dog sitting for friends and family. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I decided it was time to expand! I truly enjoy having dogs around, taking them for walks and giving them plenty of attention. Your dog will be treated like part of my family, not a guest. I work outside of the home during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely look forward to. When I’m home, your dog will be right there with me as part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your dog can safely spend time outside, and there are currently no other pets living in my home. This allows me to give your dog lots of individual attention and makes my home a comfortable option for dogs who may prefer not to be around other animals. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for dogs with health issues and special needs. I’ll also follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping and medication routine as closely as possible. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“This hasn’t been the first time Paul has watched our pup. Every time, we know our dog is in good hands - Paul goes above and beyond and is a great communicator. This time around we got stuck and delayed coming back from our trip because of the blizzard, and Paul was incredibly kind, understanding, and flexible in working with us to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away.”
“Rosalynn and Angel were absolutely wonderful with my old dog. They did a great job of communicating while I was away and my girl came home happy. I will definitely be using them again in the future! So nice to know a trusted sitter in the area.”
“Kathy really helped us over Thanksgiving as our dog had to start taking heart medicines . Kathy was awesome and cared for Oreo like she was her own dog! She even sent us videos of Oreo playing and having fun.”
“We were grateful that Lauren agreed to take River for the 4th of July. It made our holiday relaxing and enjoyable to know she was safe and well cared for. Lauren was friendly and professional and I would use her services again without hesitation.”
“Victoria is the best? she is someone who really cares about your dog and treats them as if they are hers. I received constant updates and pictures of how my little one was. He didn't want to come home..? that tells me alot.. I recommend Victoria and will definitely be using her again. Thank you Victoria, you have a client for life?”
“Marcia is terrific! She helped us with a last minute emergency boarding request and provided extraordinary loving care for our 7 year old boxer. Cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Rootie enjoyed another fantastic stay with Xiaofan. Wonderful communication, regular photos, and very accommodating around our schedule. We always get a full report of our good girl’s behavior, and she comes home happy and healthy. Such a relief for us when we can’t be with her. Highest of recommendations, we will always try to book here when we need boarding!”
“Our dog has stayed with Luciana and her family twice, most recently for 10 days. She appeared well cared for and happy when we picked her up. We received regular photos and communication throughout our trip.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boxford
Lindsay kept us informed on how Zoe was doing. It was our first time using her. She sent us pictures daily of Zoe. When we picked Zoe up she was very happy, no weight loss. Once home her stools remained totally formed. ( in the past she would get anxiety diarrhea & it would take us up to 2 weeks to get her bowels back to normal. All the dogs she was caring for, while Zoe was there, seemed happy. We will be using her again.

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
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.
