“Alix was absolutely amazing and I am so thankful I chose her to watch Clark for the weekend! She was so flexible and responsive. I booked her very last minute but she had no problem taking Clark in and watching him! She sent amazing updates throughout the weekend so I always knew how Clark was doing. She went above and beyond for Clark and when I picked him up he was the happiest pup ever! Will definitely be booking with Alix again!!!”
“Dohwee did such a great job! Plenty of exercise, plenty of updates, plenty of belly rubs! Indie was so well cared for she almost didn't want to come home!! Thank you SO MUCH!!”
“Anna is the best sitter you could ever ask for. You can walk away with a confidence that your pet is in the safest hands. She took our dog around the city and took incredible care of him. She is extremely thorough and prompt in her communication. She is also a great photographer and be ready to get amazing pics of your pet.”
“Thank you so much for watching Harley! I could tell immediately that she felt comfortable/trusted you when I dropped her off and it made such a difference in allowing me to enjoy my trip. She’s already eaten the treat you sent her home with.”
“Jeongeun was very kind with Thor. She took excellent care of him. Will book with her again, 100% recommended.”
“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!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Yizi responded quickly when I was looking for a last minute Rover. Her communication was top notch from start to finish. She truly cared about my dog, Chunk, and took excellent care of him. She sent many photos and videos, which helped me feel at ease being away for so long. I would recommend Yizi to anyone looking for a Rover, unless it’s when Chunk needs another visit!”
“Patrick was great! He provided daily updates, pics and videos and made sure he understood all of Penny’s needs. Penny came back happy after a long stay :)”
“Victoria is awesome. I always get pictures of Bert while we are away so I know he's doing well, and he's always happy when we pick him up again. She even covered us when we forgot his bed this time. Our #1 sitter hands down”
“Michelle took exceptional care of my very nervous and anxious dog. I received daily pictures and updates while I was away letting me know how my pup was doing. Would absolutely book Michelle again!”
“Angela and her partner were amazing with my puppy Clementine!! She was very quick with responses throughout and sent great updates. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great care while away.”
“Mochi had a great time with her first visit with Paula. Mochi was in great hands with Paula, her husband and her adorable son. I got several pictures and videos of Mochi while away, which was what I needed to get a dose of Mochi while away for work. Paula was great with communications as well. I definitely recommend Paula and will use her again.”
“Brianna was a fantastic sitter!! The attention and care she gave to Oakley during his visit made it feel like we left him on a doggie vacation. So many walks and cuddles, you could tell from the photos that he was so spoiled the whole time. When we came to pick him up he didn’t want to leave! I’ve never seen him love a sitter so much!! Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Rachel was great! It was Harley’s first time staying with a new sitter and he can be unpredictable, but Rachel was reassuring and positive about watching Harley and that helped ease my anxiety! She was communicative, sent pictures and did a great job with giving Harley his meds that he is sometimes fussy about. Very happy to have a new reliable dog sitter to add to my rotation!”
“Rachel was great with our German shepherd/ Australian shepherd mix! She sent pictures multiple times a day with an update on how she was doing and followed any instructions I had given prior to dropping our dog off. She deeply cares for the dogs well being and does anything she can for their best interest! We highly recommend Rachel to watch your fur baby ?”
“Nate provided daily pictures and updates, asked all the right questions and listened as I shared my doggo’s triggers/stressors. I felt super comfortable with Sammy being there and was able to enjoy my trip without worrying. Highly recommend”
About: With my fiancé I own a mini dachshund, Rosie! I grew up with cats, and have loved both cats and dogs my whole life. Already a sitter for family and friends, and now you! For daycare/boarding, Rosie will be here at my home, so if your dog loves making friends we are a perfect match. Happy to have a meetup prior as well to have our pups meet. I work full time during the week, often from home, and am available for some evenings/overnights on weekdays. On weekends I am more flexible for walks and drop ins. I have an apartment with a couple of nice parks nearby and quiet streets for walks. Rosie also lives here (mini dachshund), so your dog must be comfortable with small dogs (and Rosie loves making friends!). Apartment best suited for small/medium dogs.
“Tuna had another wonderful stay with Betsy and her family! You can tell he got lots of love and attention, and they were very flexible with our unexpected travel delays.”
“Lyn was great with Odin! He was immediately comfortable with her and it was clear she loves dogs/ knows how to take good care of them. Lyn was super easy to communicate with and was flexible with drop off/pick up times. Definitely recommend.”

Zekai was a fantastic sitter for our Daisy. He and his wife asked thorough questions before drop off to make sure they knew how to make her comfortable and keep her routine. They were very communicative, sending pictures and texts daily with status updates. They have a very sweet Australian Shepherd pup who is now our dogs best friend! We felt so grateful to have our dog cared for with such love while we were out of town. We would recommend Zekai to everyone. 10/10 star review!!
Rusty adored Katherine and I wouldn't hesitate to have her watch him again! I appreciated Katherine’s daily updates as well. Highly recommend!
Donut loved her stay; making new friends, lots of exercise and activity — great care and attention: received numerous pictures and videos, responsive to texts. Will definitely use their services again in the future.
Gil and Yerina were wonderful with our puppy Stella! They made her feel at home in their place and were very attentive to all her needs, especially since she’s had some health issues recently requiring medication. They are communicative and send regular updates. Would recommend :)
Naomi went above and beyond and took great care of our somewhat needy Yorkie. I would definitely use her again.
Connor was a dream sitter. He sent regular photos and updates for the pup and seem to genuinely love dogs. Would have him again anytime.
Angela was amazing! She provided daily photos and updates for Kylo. She has two cats that got along great with my pup. Kylo loved it there and I will for sure be booking again. Thanks Angela!
Clara is one of the best dog sitter’s we’ve ever been able to hire! She is great with communication, and our dog looks so happy and relaxed in all the daily pictures. I feel like Clara is very good at giving her lots of outside time- whether it’s her daily walk, or playtime in a sprinkler, or just sitting outside in her favorite spot on the patio. It felt so good to leave our dog with Clara, even for a longer weeklong trip. 10/10 would recommend!
Emma was great—fast with response, shared how Bori was doing at the end of each day, simply made me hands-off from worrying about him. It’s so sweet of her that she left me a sweet card with a cute Polaroid photo of Bori as a souvenir!
Rashelys was an Amazing, Loving, Caring pet sitter for my Chihuahua Bailey, she kept in contact daily thru photos and videos, if I text she would reply immediately, Bailey was well taken care of and I could see thru photos and videos that she was comfortable and happy in her home😊 I will surely re-book with Rashelys, she will be my go to pet sitter anytime I will need care in the future , Rashelys is very Loving, Educated, Professional person and sitter, experienced in administrating medication to my Bailey. Once again Thank You Rashelys for your Great work, I truly appreciate it 😊❤️
Andrea is wonderful! She sent us regular updates while we were gone for 2 weeks and even administered ear medicine every day (which our dog fights…..)
David was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. I could see how gentle and loving he was with his own dog and mine. I would recommend him for other boarding stays!
Really great! Our kiddo had a lots of fun staying with Stephanie. Stephanie was very attentive and sent us lots of pictures. Will definitely repeat
Monica has cared for my two dogs twice now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Each of my pups has a very different personality and set of needs, and Monica truly understands and accommodates both. They feel completely at home with her, which gave me such peace of mind—especially during a stressful move. I’m so grateful for her thoughtful, reliable care!
Lucy is amazing. She is a wonderful communicator and caretaker. Our dog had some tummy issues and she was so attentive. We feel lucky that she took in our pup!
Emma was great!!! We have an anxious dog that is not easy to take care of, and Emma handled it very well. She was attentive to our dog's needs and communicated with us as needed. We hope we can count on her in the future when we go away!!!
Arcadia took great care of Barkley while we took in a game at Fenway Park. Great communication and seemless dropoff and pickup.
Elena was AMAZING! She kept me up to date on Pippas adventures and even gave her a bath and took her to get her favorite, a pup cup! From the get go I felt very comfortable leaving pips with Elena and would absolutely recommend her to anyone that is looking for a Rover in the Boston area. Will absolutely use her over and over again!
She is a fantastic lady to take care of my little dog. I strongly recommend her. I had one week vacation and I left my dog with her and I know my dog was happy.
This was our first time boarding Archie with Sunisa and her husband and we do not have enough kind things to say about them. They started by meeting Archie prior to his stay so he would feel more comfortable. The day we left him he recognized them right away. We received frequent updates, including photos which showed him having a blast. They were also very thorough with his daily care routine, assuring he kept to his schedule. Upon our return they provided us with a beautiful framed photo of our little guy. We will absolutely be using them in the future. Characteristics: kind, reliable, thorough, knowledgeable in dog care and health.
