“Tianyue was very attentive, calm and sweet with our dog. She texted updates and multiple pictures every other day, giving us peace of mind on our vacation. We would highly recommend her!”
“Kevin was amazing with our dog! He constantly sent pictures and updates of her, and was always very responsive. Our doggo came back so happy. I would definitely book with him again!”
“Heidi was so great with Augie! She sent us many updates making us feel comfortable while we were away. Augie came back happy and tired! We will definitely send Augie to Heidi again!! Thank you!!”
“Alec and Damien were perfect hosts for Fran! It was our first time boarding her and everything went super smoothly. Fran was happy and cared for. Would definitely bring Fran to their place again.”
“Sarah and Ben went above and beyond while watching our dog. He celebrated his birthday with them and they send us several pictures and spoiled him with treats. Great communication, easy pick up and drop off, and trust knowing our boy is in great hands.”
“Jess was so phenomenal! We received so many pictures and our dog clearly loved his time with her and her family. We’re so thankful and will definitely book with Jess again.”
“Daniel and his dog Annie were a wonderful match for our dog, Tegan. He even arranged a meet-up beforehand so the dogs could get to know each other, which gave us peace of mind. During Tegan’s stay, Daniel sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Tegan usually takes a day or two to settle in and start eating when she’s in a new environment, but with Daniel and Annie she felt right at home from the start. We’ll definitely ask Daniel to watch Tegan again in the future!”
“Sydney was amazing with my dogs. I had to schedule with her last minute and she went above and beyond sending me updates so I could enjoy my weekend away. She made sure my older dog was comfortable while he was with her. Will definitely be reaching out to her in the future”
“Stefanie watched our 3yr old lab Levi for a long weekend. She was very kind and attentive to our dog. Sent many pics and updates for us. I could tell she truly loves dogs. We felt very comfortable with her care for our dog. I would highly recommend her. Best, Alivia”
“Deanna was amazing! Our very cautious dog stayed for an extended overnight and had a great time. Deanna was so good with her and gave her the space she needed to come around. She also provided an environment where our dog felt safe and comfortable which made my dog as happy as could be. Sent us pictures and updates which made us feel better… cannot say enough good things!! Thank you! Will definitely use her again!!”
“Perfect! Murphy was well loved. Joe also did a great job of keeping us updated and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Will definitely book again.”
“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”
“Tyler was amazing with my Lobo and Tango! He was a great communicator and I was ever grateful for the flexibility as my travel plans change unexpectedly a few times while I was away. I could tell they were truly cared for and a spoiled just as much (if not more) than would have been with me! Highly recommend and will be trying Tyler again for my next dog care needs”
“Denise is kind enough to accept my request in a short window. Tony had good time with her. Denise made sure that we get updates of Tony frequently. Thanks a lot Denise!”
“Julia was wonderful and took care of Bruno like her own! She is very personable and responsible. She was sure to send me regular updates along with pictures and was very responsive when I reached out. I would definitely rebook with Julia!”
“Vince was very accommodating. He was very communicative and was sure to follow my instructions that I left him and sent pics during the boarding. Compared to other kennel/boarding places that leave your dog alone with limited walks and exercise, Vince took my dog out to the park for hours at a time. There was a small hiccup of mistaken supplies during pickup (not a big deal) but he corrected it and even personally drop off my supplies to me when I offered to pick them up myself. He even gave my dog a chew bone when he dropped off the supplies as a kind gesture. Vince not only boards dogs but he reinforces basic training as well. He also gives training tips. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!”
“Atticia is such a great dog mom!! She’s communicative, punctual, and takes great care of my puppy. I know from how excited he is every time to see her, and how he always comes home a chubby happy boy. It’s like going to grandma’s house!”
“Louie, our English springer spaniel, loved his time in Wanyi’s home. He was well taken care of, had lots of activities and exercise and was treated like a member of her family. She sent us pictures and updates every day. We are thrilled with our experience. We highly recommend Wanyi!!!!”
“Hieu sent regular updates showing pictures of my cat enjoying treats and exploring the house. He looked comfortable and happy, which went a long way towards making me feel less nervous about him. Would definitely book again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Braintree
Sara was absolutely amazing!! Super communicative throughout the entire boarding, and I could tell my Benny was having an absolute ball staying with her - would highly recommend as she has tremendous experience with various pets and is an animal-lover through and through
Kevin was awesome! He took such good care of Kenobi! He sent pictures and videos with cute captions, communicated really well, asked questions when he had any to make sure Kenobi got the best and most consistent care. Could not have asked for better. Thank you Kevin!!!!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our small Italian Greyhound received from Stephanie & Sam! We felt comfortable and confident leaving her in their care. She was well cared for & has a new furry friend Georgia. They send updates, photos and videos. Knowing she was in good hands gave us great peace of mind while we were away and we were able to really enjoy our vacation. We are so grateful and would definitely recommend this them anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pet!
Sara was super kind and caring! She sent me photos multiple times a day when she boarded my dog and it was obvious that she was treating my dog like part of her family. Sara was also very accommodating with the drop off and pick up times. I felt lucky I found her.
Nick is an outstanding dog sitter! He played with Chili, was extremely king and patient with him, and kept me informed about Chili’s behavior! Nick sent me pictures of Chili resting on the bed, Chili playing with his dog, and the food and water bowls for the two dogs! Chili required medication and Nick gave it to him carefully each day. I think Nick is the greatest, and I will be careful to choose him the next time I need a dog sitter!
I just can’t say enough about Jenny and Henry. Not only are they wonderfully warm and kind people, they are dog whisperers extraordinaire which is key for our anxious little Otto. Furthermore, Henry is a chef who enjoys cooking for people AND dogs! Looks like he turns out gourmet fare for the pooches. Will definitely be using their services again! Amazing quality care & training.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
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 Braintree 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 Braintree 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 Braintree.
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 Braintree. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 Braintree 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 MA 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.
