“John took great care of my high energy pup! His communication was excellent throughout the process and he too my dog on long walks. Looking forward to booking with John again soon!”
“This was my puppy’s first time boarding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He took such great care of her—sending regular updates and photos, taking her out for playtime and exercise, and even bringing her to a dog park. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while I was away. I truly appreciate all the attention and care he gave her. Thank you so much!”
“Ruya was very communicative and responsive from the beginning. We would definitely book again. Ashlynn was well taken care of and we got lots of pictures of her!”
About: Lifelong dog owner & runner. I have a Vizsla and understand high energy breeds exercise needs and the play/affection of all dogs! Looking forward to bonding with your 🐕 and making sure they are healthy and happy! I work 3 12hr shifts at a hospital and have the flexibility to help with morning, afternoon or evening walks on several days a week. I’m a very active person and constantly out with my own dog. It’s my happy place to be outside and I’m looking forward to helping your dog walking or drop-in visit needs while you are away or at work. Please let me know your dog’s particular needs for drop-in visits. Any food/treats or medication they may need. Any allergies. If a dog walk, please let me know if your dog is friendly with other dogs or timid (if I should cross the street to avoid another dog interaction). This way I can ensure a safe and happy walk for your dog!
“Emily was awesome! She took amazing care of my pup, kept constant communication while I was away, and was super flexible when my return plans got shifted and she needed to hold onto my dog for a bit longer. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a solid, dependable sitter!”
“Dino had a great stay! We got so many updates, and it was obvious that Dino was very relaxed immediately. Yick-hong was also very flexible when our flight was delayed and we needed to extend Dino’s stay. Definitely will be back!”
“Aurora was great with our dog Hailey! She stayed with her for more than two weeks and we got a lot of pictures! It was the first time Hailey stayed with someone else then family or friends, so we were anxious at first. We would book Aurora again, she also took the time to do a meet and greet upfront.”
“Beast had a great time with Princess. She is attentive and kept me informed of any issues that have or may have arisen. I will definitely look to using Princess again to watch Beast!”
“Maggie did a great job. I can always tell when my dog is happy, and for a minute there I thought she didn't want to leave! My dog is elderly so she needs a little extra attention but Maggie took care of her very well. I strongly recommend this Rover-er”
“Eric was great! I was taking care of my nephew's dog and had to find him a place to board at the last minute due to a death in the family. My travel plans kept changing and Eric kindly accomodated the situation. He also sent daily photos which helps to assure your dog is being well cared for. I highly recommend Eric.”
“The dogs RAN up and into Casey's place wagging when drop off, and came out happy, even more spoiled, shinier and somehow smelling nicer?! when picked up. 😆 This is our 52774th time boarding with Casey and we cannot thank her and recommend her to others enough. Casey is extremely thoughtful and attentive to details, and even has now built with our dogs their own routine that put the dogs at ease and peace. Thank you thank you thank you.”
“Dana was absolutely great. Very attentive to our dog, and really got to know her before taking her into his home. Left confident that she was in good hands. Dana is also an absolute pleasure to talk to.”
“Tiffany took SUCH great care of our puppy. We dropped off our very energetic 8 month old with Tiffany for a weekend while we went out of town and we knew our pup was in great hands. This was our first time leaving her with a sitter so we were unsure what to expect. Tiffany made us feel so confident and comfy and sent lots of pics. She clearly knows what she’s doing and truly loves dogs.”

We are so happy to have found Nyna! Right from the start, her warm, gentle, and welcoming presence calmed our Mica who is sometimes nervous in unfamiliar settings. Nyna asked all the right questions, extended her affectionate nature immediately, and we were confident in her care. Mica returned tired and happy, with great pictures and communication as well. Couldn't be better - thank you, Nyna!
K is amazing! My dog Sidon had his own vacation while I had mine. She is very caring and everytime she sent me the pictures of Sidon, he was so happy. She is also very thoughtful - she asked thorough questions in advance to accommodate the need of Sidon. Highly recommend!
Anh is a wonderful, caring dog sitter! She watched our new puppy for the weekend and she was fantastic with him. We got frequent updates, pictures, and videos, and he clearly loved his time with her when we picked him up. We were so grateful for the peace of mind that having Anh watch Iggy gave us, and will definitely trust her to watch our sweet boy again and again.
Julie was amazing . We left our doggies to be boarded with her . We got daily updates and multiple photos in a day. Sonny and Burt ( our fur babies ) were well taken care of and she made them feel at home by accommodating their needs. I had a stress free vacation thanks to Julie
Greta was amazing! She took such great care of Lila and did a fantastic job keeping me updated throughout the weekend. I especially loved receiving all the photos—it was so nice to see Lila happy and having a great time! I would absolutely recommend Greta and would love to book with her again! 🐾❤️
Natasha and Kishan did an amazing job taking care of Nutella! They sent pictures every day, and it was clear she had a wonderful time with them. I always feel at ease knowing Nutella is in their care because they treat her like their own. Thank you for taking such great care of her!

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 .
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.

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.
