“Ashton was amazing!! I could tell my dogs got lots of love and they enjoyed their stay. Not only was Ashton available and accommodating for our last-minute request, but he was communicative and put my mind at ease about leaving my big goof balls for the weekend. Will definitely be using Ashton and family again!”
“Adriana has been so wonderful every step of the way! She was very flexible when I needed to reschedule our meet and greet. She welcomed my family and dog into her beautiful home and has a great set up for hosting dogs. She has a perfect fenced backyard and we were able to see how her dog and cat interacted with our high energy dog. We had a last-minute change of travel plans due to illness and Adriana was so kind and helped us figure out a new plan. Once we dropped off our dog she sent frequent video and photo updates. Her family made sure he had a lot of play time and exercise through games in their yard and neighborhood walks. She is very organized, kind and a great communicator. I highly recommend her and we will definitely trust her with our dog for future travel.”
“Megan was a great sitter, she communicated well and sent pictures of Tori which I loved :) Drop off and pick up went smoothly and she had everything ready when I got there. Thanks Megan!”
“Bojack loved staying with Kourtney! He is a fourteen years old. I like that Kourtney has a background in veterinary medicine. Not only did that make me trust her with his daily meds, it was nice knowing that there was a trained eye on him. Bojack is overly bonded to me to the point that he often sits by the window waiting for me to return when I go out. The biggest compliment to Kourtney's care is that when we picked him up, he greeted me with enthusiasm but not anywhere near the crazy welcome I usually get, AND he kept looking back at Kourtney as if he was unsure whether he wanted to leave! We will definitely have her watch him again.”
“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”
“Bandit had a great time with Phil and his dogs! We received updates throughout the week that put us at ease. We will definitely be using Phil again in the future!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“We had an awesome experience with Shankar. He and his family took great care of Bruce. He shared pictures through the stay which put our minds at ease. Bruce had a great time there with Piku his dog. He came back home very happy and had a great time with them. We would certainly board Bruce with him again. Thank you.”
“Alberta watched our 2 bunnies for a weekend and we were so lucky to have found her! She definitely knows her stuff/how to take care of small animals and their unique needs and personalities. She sent us photo updates of them, which was great! It was so nice to have peace of mind on our trip, knowing our buns were in great hands. Everything was packed up and ready to go at the set pick up time. I would highly recommend her for any small pet! Thank you!!!”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
“Brooke is awesome! Scottie is always excited to see her and to stay over with her and her family. She takes pictures and sends little updates every day, which keeps me from worrying about Scottie while we're away! 100% recommend!”
“This is the second time my husband and I have used Julia and Connor. They are very responsive and friendly. They really make your pet feel at home. Our pup came back happy and exhausted from all the fun they provided him! They send plenty of photos and updates. I would absolutely use them again!”
“Would absolutely book again, Cherie took great care of my dogs one of whom needed some special attention due to anxiety/stress and she took great effort to find some kind of food he would eat. The dogs enjoyed the big yard too!”
“Thank you Riven for taking in Remi on such short notice. I appreciate the help so much!! Remi liked being there so definitely would like to have you sit for her again.”
“Lucille hosted Kona for a week while we were away and it went wonderfully! We received daily updates and pictures of Kona so we could always see and know what she was up to. Lucille kept Kona busy with daily walks and fetch which are Kona’s favorites! We really appreciated Lucille’s attention to detail with wanting to know and follow Kona’s usual routines to help her feel comfortable. Kona has some medical needs which always makes leaving her with a sitter a bit anxiety provoking but Lucille made us feel at ease with her communication around medications as well. We very much appreciate Lucille’s care for Kona and already have a few more upcoming stays booked with her! Kona has found a new friend for sure!”

Brookline dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alberta was the best match for "Lucky", my very personable and sweet 15- year old Golden Doodle. Before accepting Lucky for a Sunday-to-Sunday December stay, Alberta asked all the right questions from his daily routine to how best to administer his prescription meds. Alberta also required a current veterinarian record as proof that Lucky was up to date on all his shots and also so she could keep an eye on his health. Aside from a very professional, proficient, and friendly onboarding the real magic happened when Alberta cheerfully greeted Lucky and she knew to give him time and space to acclimate to his new B&B and her own three doggies - a greyhound, a lab and a golden mix. Every morning I received a cutie pie photo of my fur baby in a different scenario which showed me just how well he was doing! Snoozing on his bed, hanging with her other dogs in the fenced in yard, or begging for a treat. Normally when I pick up my boy from other sitters he looks a bit frazzled-as if to say- what was that all about!? LOL But after his stay with Alberta and family Lucky came trotting out, happy to see me and and freshly brushed too. I could see in his eyes that he was well-rested and happy. WOW! Thanks Alberta for all the TLC!
