“Shuhua took great care of my high energy border collie Jasper! She got him a lot of exercise and had great communication. Can’t recommend her enough”
“Andrew & Ellen were great! They took great care of our dog and kept us updated. Kuzi also LOVED playing with their pup Mango and came home every day very tired.”
“Greta was fantastic! She was super responsive to messages, Chiffon got tons of attention all day long, and I got lots of photos. Chiffon was nice and tired when I got her back in the evening. Would book again!”
“this was our first time using rover—or having someone outside our family watch our newly adopted dog—and lynne helped us have a great first experience. she made us feel comfortable from the get go and, most importantly, our fur baby seemed to enjoy his day with her. we would be thrilled to have her dog sit for us again, and recommend her without reservation to others!”
“Milly had a great time with Rebecca! She had everything Milly needed for a great day…chews, puzzle games and a comfy couch to lie on. Rebecca was also super accommodating with drop off and pick up times! We will definitely use Rebecca in the future!”
“Tara and Logan are amazing! My pup enjoys her time there so much. They run, go to the dog park. She always eats whine she’s there, which means she’s super comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo were great with Oscar. They were flexible when I needed to shift my drop-off and pickup times, which made my day so much easier. They sent a few photos throughout the day too, which I always love getting. Oscar came home tired and happy, so he clearly had a good time. Would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thanks you two!”
“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!”
“Wonderful dog sitter\! Caring, reliable, and incredibly attentive\. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such attentive hands\. We loved seeing the photos of her having fun and would absolutely recommend Daria”
“Emma was really great! She always sent me updates on how it was going and was flexible about timing with my work schedule. My dog is super shy but she warmed up to Emma quickly :)”
“As usual, my dog loves Ray, Ray does a great job of taking care of her and communicating about it, and I can rest easy enjoying dog-free events knowing that she’s in good hands. Thanks Ray!”
“Andrea has been lovely to work with, my dog Kiko has really enjoyed daycare with her and is always happy when I pick him up. She is very reliable and communicative and has made our first Rover experience a very good one. I will definitely continue to come to Andrea when Kiko needs a sitter!”
“Nate is a wonder with my pups and super accommodating to me. This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! He sent pictures, and bonded with both of my dogs who are typically skeptical of new people. They felt right at home with Nate and I couldn’t appreciate it more.”
About: I've grown up around animals my whole life and have always loved taking care of them. I've had multiple dogs at a time in my family, both big and small, so I'm very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've been taking dogs on walks, playing with them, feeding them, and helping take care of them for as long as I can remember. I've also spent a lot of time caring for cats, including very small kittens, so I'm comfortable with cats as well. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know them. Whether it's an energetic dog who needs lots of walks and playtime or a more laid back pet who just wants some company and attention, I’m happy to give them the attention they need! I Work from home Part time so your pet will not be home alone for long stretches of time. He will join us and our dog Muesli in our home, and get lots of attention. My dog and I go on two 45 minute walks a day as well as a short walk to the grass before bed time (of course we can talk about your dog's regular walking schedule as well). We don't have a private yard, so dogs are always kept on a leash when we're outside unless we're inside a completely enclosed dog park. I’m also careful about making sure doors and gates are secure and keeping an eye on dogs around things they could get into or eat. I’m happy to follow any instructions for your pet's routine, food, medications, and any specific things they need.
About: I have experience with lots of animals. I grew up with a bulldog, french mastiff, mini schnauzer, 2 cats, birds, fish, chickens, turkeys, tortoises... so I would say your pet is in good hands. I personally have a 1 year old cocker spaniel who I love and adore and is the most spoiled dog. Being a pet owner is fun, but also hard! So I'm here to make it easier for you while you're away! I work from home in Somerville, and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can stop by during the day, and take your dogs out for walks in the mornings, lunch time, and evenings. I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. I am a CPA, so I'm very organized, reliable, and pay attention to details, so you can always trust that when your pet needs attention and care you can count on me to be there! I will follow all instructions and make sure your pet is cared for the same way you care for them.
“Boots had an amazing day with them! I got lots of pictures from throughout the day and drop off and pick up were very easy. They went above and beyond and played with him a ton—he’s coming home super tired!”
“Quincy had a great day staying with Bella! Bella communicated well and was happy to do a meet and greet with us before booking. We love that her roommates and friends are around so even when she’s in class, there’s often someone home to keep Quincy cuddly. Would definitely book Bella again!”

Heesu has been SO wonderful as a dog sitter for Seymour. He literally runs up to her when he sees her, and I can tell from the pictures he sends that he has a great time hanging out with her while I’m in the office. It’s such a relief knowing he’s been well cared for while I’m at work.
We are visiting Boston for the weekend and needed a daycare for our Chloe so we can visit museums and avoid stressing our furbaby due to the nor’easter rain and keep her warm. We decided last minute to do so and Cindy was available to care for her. She provided us with updates, followed instructions and is very responsive to our messages. Highly recommend booking her. Thanks so much Cindy.
She was absolutely amazing with Smooky! She sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay which was so reassuring and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She’s incredibly sweet, caring, and attentive and Smooky seemed so happy and relaxed with her. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her!
Hannah has sat several times for my dog now, and as a frequent Rover pet parent, I can say she is one of the very best sitters I have had in the Boston area. She is 100% reliable, friendly, and clearly loves spending time outside with my dog. As a bonus there is a new, great dog park around the corner from where she lives.
Wendy was overwhelmingly gracious with me when I made a major error using the app to schedule. Really above and beyond both in accommodating me AND not making me feel bad at all. And given that my dog didn’t want to leave her to get back in the car with me at the end of the visit, she clearly did an incredible job caring for him. ✨💖 I know I got lots of regular photos and videos but seeing him look back longing at her says the most.
Andy and Ellen were so easy and wonderful to work with🐾💕…One of our dogs had never been boarded before and was a little snippy to their sweet Mango dog at first, but they mediated the situation and were able to reassure us that it would settle down, and it did. Our dogs got plenty of outside time in their fenced-in backyard, and walks. And they administered my older dogs meds daily with her meals as needed. Most of all, they were extremely accommodating to our ever-shifting plans, which was such a relief to us, as they happily allowed us to drop the dogs off, or pick them up at wildly differing times than we had initially planned. This took a lot of stress away from us during our Boston stay. They are lovely friendly communicative people - we got some sweet doggie photo updates - and I would definitely use them again, and highly recommend them and their helpful services.
Cameron is an incredible dog sitter and so easy to work with. I had a few changes to one of my bookings and he was so gracious and flexible. When a flight delay casused several last-minute changes to our booking, he was gracious, flexible and extremely communicative throughout. Tuck loves spending time with Cameron and Rosie, and Cameron is so caring and shares plenty of photos. I can't say enough good things!
Puja was wonderful with Mello! She was kind, reliable, and took such great care of him. She was also very communicative and sent lots of updates throughout his stay, which I really appreciated and made me feel completely at ease. Mello seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him, and we would definitely book with Puja again!
Thank you Gina for taking care of Bruce while we were have having 2 hours of “we” time while visiting the city. We highly recommend Gina to anyone that is looking for someone to take care of their senior dog. Our dog Bruce will definitely go back next time when we visit Boston again!

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 Cambridge 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,932 sitters in Cambridge, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
