About: I’m an experienced and loving dog sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a lifelong dog lover and dog mom myself, I understand that your pup is family—and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs through regular sitting, walks, overnight stays, feeding, playtime, and keeping them comfortable in their owners’ absence. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, laid-back and cuddly, or a little shy and need extra time to warm up. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands! My schedule is dedicated toward pet sitting. I will spend the day with the pups. We usually go to the dog park twice daily along with an early morning walk. I allow the dogs to free roam my space. They are welcome on the couch and bed. There are several rooms for separation if needed.
“She is an amazing sitter! She gave frequent updates throughout the day, and really appreciated that she went above and beyond by sending a lot of pictures. Also, I really appreciate her flexibility. If you’re in Boston, highly recommend her as your pet sitter. Go Greta (and Juniper)! 🫶✨”
“Anastasia did an amazing job looking after Pearl! Traveling from out of state and she made me feel so comfortable leaving Pearl for the day when I needed to work. Took loads of photos to keep me updated. Will definitely be booking again when back in Boston.”
“Indrajeet accepted our reservation at the last minute, which ended up being wonderful luck for us. What a kind and caring dog sitter. Monk and LouLou were immediately at ease. Fear not and book now. A wonderful experience!”
About: Your pets will be in loving, reliable hands with me. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, giving them so much attention and comfort that they won’t even notice you’re away🥰 I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether your pet requires extra cuddles, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy. When your pet stays in my home, they become part of my family from the moment they walk through the door. I provide a clean, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax, explore, and feel completely comfortable. I have 1 cat. Her name is Emerald she is 2 years old and she is absolutely spoiled. She has her own wall climbing catch tree that she loves and tons of toys.
“Banapsha and Sid were so wonderful with me and Zephyr. I had a last minute request for daycare and they were willing to take us on short notice.. They really went the extra mile to make sure my pup was well taken care of. Banapsha was so kind to keep me updated every few hours with pictures and updates of Zeph. Zeph looked like he had a blast the entire time playing ball and tug. I'm definitely a bit of a helicopter mom when it comes to my pup and Banapsha was up to do a meet and greet beforehand so as to put me at ease since this was our first time together. She asked tons of questions and really took the time to take note of my pups quirks. I could really tell how much she absolutely loved pups and how well Zeph took to her when we met. So so grateful to have found someone I can trust to take care of my pup when I'm away. Ill definitely be back again soon!!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was in 5th grade. Whether I went to the owners house or they came to mine, I treated them with love and kindness. I’ve worked with little, medium, and big dogs, and they have been long term clients! People actually call me the dog whisperer! I work from home every day so i will be home with your pups! they can relax with me around the house or go out with me for errands or anything else! I treat them with love and plenty of play time! Dogs are allowed on our beds and furniture, so they will get lots of cuddles! I allow them to explore the house so they can get comfortable in the new environment and let them warm up to me so they are not scared. I have a big park just right across from me, I am in a very walkable neighborhood, so they will get great walks. I also have a big back yard they can lounge around!
“Our dog, Penny, had a great time with Brett (and Pepper)! I loved that she got to go on several walks and have their company while I was at work. Plus Brett was very accommodating with my schedule. Would definitely book again!”
“Andrew and Ellen were great with Wallace! He truly loves them and Mango. I have such peace of mind when they take care of my dog, which is invaluable. They are super flexible and accommodating. Wallace and I have been so lucky to find them!”

Laura was absolutely wonderful with Toffee! 🐶❤️ She was incredibly flexible and accommodating with both the drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything so easy for me. Her communication was great throughout the day, and she sent me pictures and updates so I knew Toffee was happy and doing well. She was also very patient and caring with Toffee, which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable leaving Toffee with her and would absolutely recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring with their pup. Thank you so much, Laura!
I felt so anxious dropping Nova off with an individual sitter for the first time. Even though it was a shorter afternoon care visit, Sreeya was very sweet and allowed me to see her place and backyard area where Nova would be staying. She sent me photos of Nova and assured me she did great. We will look to book with Sreeya again!
Shuhua was amazing, so friendly, flexible, and accommodating. I had just got to Boston with Maggie after a 7+ hour road trip and my dog was a bit grumpy. Yet Shuhua was so cheerful and calm, Maggie felt at home and eased into relaxing with her. Frequent photos and updates, easy location to drop off and pick up, and Maggie was cheerful as ever.
Alan and Ying were amazing!!! We were so grateful for their flexibility as we figured out our schedule for when we needed to drop Pear off and even more grateful for the incredible care they took of Pear. They were communicative and kept us informed of what Pear was getting up to and how she was doing, and Pear absolutely loved her stay with them.
Indrajeet was a lifesaver on the day that I needed puppy care for my 11 week old German shorthaired pointer! I last minute requested his help and his response was immediate as well as very kind. He seemed like a natural caretaker and had a good sense of what my puppy’s needs were throughout the day. His communication was also excellent with frequent updates every couple of hours so that I felt very confident with his care. I also felt like he gave my puppy adequate mental stimulation throughout the day by going on walks, playing, engaging him so that my puppy wasn’t misbehaved or hyper coming home but the exact temperament as he would be if he spent a day with me. I would be so happy if Indrajeet would look after Kuma again 🥹🫶🏼!!
Wonderful. Did daycare for a day for our aussie border collie mix for the afternoon and evening and she took him to the park and on walks and gave us updates. Accommodated our weird timing and made it really easy for us. Would 100% book again. Thank you so much!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Brookline commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
