“Julia is great. She took good care of my dog Ronny while we are on vacation. She replies message in a very timely manner and sends us Ronny’s pictures frequently to ensure Ronny is a good caregiver’s home. I would highly recommend Julia to anyone who need dog cater.”
“Rob is the best! Junie had so much fun with his whole family. I felt very safe leaving Junie at his home given his expertise, experience, and the clear love he and his family have for dogs. Will 100% be rebooking!”
“I cannot thank this family enough for the incredible care they provided. In a moment of high stress—when my wife went into labor at the last minute—they stepped in and looked after our senior dog, Otoko, without hesitation. Otoko is 16 years old and has a variety of medical issues that require a lot of patience and specialized attention. They didn't just "watch" him; they treated him like a member of their own family. They were incredibly attentive to his needs, taking him for gentle walks and even hand-feeding him to ensure he was getting his meals. Throughout the stay, they sent frequent pictures and videos, which gave us such immense peace of mind while we were at the hospital. Knowing he was being so well-loved and attended to allowed us to focus on our new arrival. If you are looking for sitters who truly love dogs and will go above and beyond for a senior pup with extra needs, look no further. They are an extraordinary family!”
“Julie was absolutely wonderful! Our dog can be quite anxious, but we could tell by his demeanor when he came home that Julie made him feel very comfortable and cared for! We'd love to have Dodge stay with Julie again, and we are very grateful for the updates and great care Dodge received!”
“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.”
“Pino was very well taken care of and we could tell was super happy during his entire stay with Wendy. We’ll definitely have her watch Pino again in the future!”
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.
“Yingying and her family took such wonderful and thoughtful care of Max! He was a spoiled and happy boy while staying with them. Highly recommend and would happily rebook in the future.”
“Our dog, Bailey, had a wonderful time with Mariia & Mikhail – it was very clear from all the photos! We were away for almost two weeks and were initially a little nervous to leave Bailey for so long. Their communication and adorable photos of Bailey having fun, getting a lot of attention, and taking walks put us at ease and made our hearts sing. Our Bailey is 14 years old, so she has some walking limitations, and she has to take medication. Mariia & Mikhail handled everything like pros, and we truly don’t think she could have been in better hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to leave their pet with friendly, responsible, and communicative sitters.”
“As always Victoria was amazing to our cute Applesauce, she cares for him so much and keeps in touch with us during his stay at her home. She was very accommodating and understanding when I needed to change the drop-off and pick-up days, thank you Victoria! I highly recommend her ♥️”
“We've used Hyesun to sit for us several times now. She takes excellent care of our dogs, walks them several times daily, has a clean, safe, house and makes the effort to send photos and keep us in the loop. I really cannot recommend her enough. I'm sure we'll be going back to her for our future sitting needs.”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo were absolutely amazing with Bruno over Christmas break. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and clearly cared so much about him. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands, and it was obvious he was happy and well cared for the entire time. They kept me updated, treated him like one of their own, and went above and beyond. I could not recommend them enough!!!”
“Elizabeth and Neil are amazing and took such great care of Sisa! I never worried about her and they shared so many videos and photos that it was easy to see she was in great hands. They are kind, caring, and compassionate and really went above and beyond. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!”
“Our puppy had a lovely time with Yulia and her family, this was our first time ever leaving him at a sitters and just meeting them and seeing Luca interact with them made us feel comforted and she was exceptional in taking care of him. Luca had the best time”
“Luciana made my first experience boarding my dog who has separation anxiety a major success. What I appreciated the most about Luciana is how well she communicated with me from the very beginning and while she cared for my dog. She was able to quickly offer solutions to potential issues I thought my dog would have during her stay. As a bonus, she cared for other dogs at the same time which gave my dog some much needed socialization experience. When I picked up my dog- all of her belongs were neatly packed up and she had even folded up her crate for me which made pick up so easy. Even though Luciana is 30 minutes away from my home- I would book with her again because I know Mimi will be well cared for.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch our two Golden retrievers during our daughter‘s wedding weekend. Having never left them with a sitter they were nervous and so were away Lorraine and Patrick and three little girls were the best sitters we could ask for sent us pictures and gave them 100% of their attention we hope to move up to Massachusetts next year so we will definitely be calling them in the future.”
“Thank you! Cindy (Shuhua) took care of my dog, who has complex health needs and takes medication 3 times a day. She was responsible and patient as I went over all my dog's care instructions and vet information. She sent regular photos and updates, and was careful to monitor for changes in my dog's health/behavior and report back to me. I am a devoted dog mom, and it's very important for me to have a sitter I can trust to take care of my dog properly so I feel comfortable being away. Cindy was just as wonderful as I had anticipated! Plus, she's a great baker! I will reach out again in the future for my pet care needs :)”
“Vanessa was an excellent sitter for our dog, Joey. She sent us photos daily of all of the walks they took during the day, along with updates on how he was doing while he was there. We will definitely keep her in mind when we need a dog sitter in the future.”
“Ahmed and family were great with Pippi-we received several pictures and updates throughout her stay. Pippi can be a little nervous but they went out of their way to make her feel comfortable. Ahmed and family will definitely be our go to sitter in the future.”

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.
