“Emily always takes good care of Scout. Scout comes home so much more relaxed than when she goes to the kennel, so I know Emily makes her feel at home. She even took special care and administered meds when Scout had a wound right before drop off. Hire her!”
“Kel was amazing! I was so very impressed with her love for the animals put into her care. She went out of her way to make sure that our pup, Lola, was comfortable. She communicated with us throughout her stay with photos and text updates. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again. :-)”
“Sherry is an amazing caregiver. Our dogs are a bonded pair and she took extra care with that in mind. She kept up to date each day with pictures and how they were doing. Sherry is so loving and sweet and truly cares for her furry guests. Highly recommended Sherry if your looking for a trustworthy and loving pet provider.”
“Shelby was awesome. Got in touch with her at the last minute to watch my baby and she went above and beyond to help me. LJ seemed to love her and I felt so safe leaving her with Shelby. Will definitely ask Shelby to watch her again if I am ever in the area. Thank you again Shelby. Gave this fur baby Mom a peace of mind while I was away”
“Great experience. It's easy to see right away that Stephanie is an animal lover. We will definitely use her again! Thank you so much Stephanie. I think Casey is already missing you.”
“Jasmyne is phenomenal!! I have a lot of anxiety when leaving my baby with anyone because he is so hyper. I'm afraid he'll be mistreated. After meeting with her, I was instantly at ease. She communicated with me the entire time. And also sent a lot of photos. She is top tier!!”
About: I pride myself on being dependable, communicating regularly with pet parents through updates and photos, and following each pet’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide not only exceptional care for your pets but also peace of mind for you. Pet care is a meaningful part of my weekly routine. I set aside time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I am dependable, flexible, and committed to providing safe, loving, and attentive care that keeps every pet happy, comfortable, and following their normal routine. I follow each pet’s routine with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I provide a safe, clean environment and regular updates.
About: I have taken care of dogs, large and small, for roommates, friends, family, and neighbors. Care has included pet sitting, boarding, and walking as well as potty breaks for pets with busy parents. I have also cared for a senior pet of my own as well as a pet with additional needs. I previously helped train golden retrievers for hunting competitions and cared for several litters of puppies. I also volunteered for my hometown’s animal shelter. In short, I love animals and have extensive experience caring for them. I am detail-oriented, caring, and committed to providing the best care for your furry friends while also ensuring that they have a great time! I work with all dogs, from those that fit in the palm of your hand to those that are 100 lb+. I also have a high-energy dog and understand how to care for similar breeds. Please message me to inquire how I can provide the best care for your pet. P.S. Please enjoy the photos of the pups I have taken care of over the years! I am a graduate student at Auburn University (War Eagle!) with a very flexible schedule. Most of my time is spent working from home with classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm. I am available to walk dogs and do drop-ins during the week and on weekends (with the exception of Tuesday and Thursday afternoons) and can house-sit overnight on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. House sitting does require a meet and greet first; message me to arrange a meeting that works with your schedule! At your home, I can ensure your pets stay on their routine while ensuring they get the amount of activity and care that they need. If you are also wanting your pet(s) to get some playtime with other animals, I have two friendly dogs who love to play with other dogs and who can play together, whether at a dog park or elsewhere (please inquire!).
About: My husband and I have both grown up with many different dog breeds. We’ve recently adopted two puppies, and went through the process of training them to where they are now. From potty training from 8 weeks, to leash and recall training we’ve learned the patience and methods to correctly instill these habits into our pets. We’ve helped both friend and families by taking care of their pets when they are away for travel, handling dogs ranging from miniature chihuahuas to Great Danes, and every age group including senior dogs. We’ll make sure your pet gets the best care, wether that be from previous experiences we’ve had or by learning something new so your dog is always happy! We work but have a flexible schedule, we work our schedules around our dogs. Waking up early to allow them to burn energy. We’re both home for lunch to allow our dogs to have a potty break and play, then by 3pm our dogs get the rest of the day to eat and play as they please. Our dogs eat at 6:30am, play till 7:30am, potty break from 11am-1pm, at 3pm dogs are let out to play and dinner at 5pm, bed time is 8pm

Me & my pit bull, Tulip, love new friends and we guarantee that your babies will be loved, well fed & given all the belly rubs while you’re away!! I currently work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I have a large fenced in backyard corner lot with a gate that provides so many places to run & play all day! I am happy to adhere to your babies food schedule!! My fenced-in corner lot provides ample space for running and playtime! My dog, Tulip, loves to make new friends! If your dog is best suited to a one-dog-only home, this would not be the best fit for them!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Boylston
We cannot recommend Emily enough! From the moment we met her, her confidence, deep knowledge, and calm demeanor immediately put us at ease. She provides a structured, dog-centered environment driven by genuine care, and her expertise shines through in everything she does. What really stood out to us was her consistency—her communication was like clockwork, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. You can truly feel her love and thoughtfulness for dogs in the way she interacts with them. Our pup, Griffon, had an amazing time, and we already know he will be back to visit Emily and Huxley again soon! If you are looking for someone reliable, skilled, and deeply caring to look after your furry family member, Emily is simply the best.
Jasmyne is awesome! She actively engages with the owner & pet. I felt very comfortable allowing my dog to stay in her care for Boarding. She gave me updates of my dog each day, fed her according to my normal routine, did outdoor play time as I requested. She's very knowledgeable in her work with pets & very professional to work with. This has been a great experience!

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Boylston can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Boylston 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 Boylston.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boylston. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Boylston 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 AL 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
