“Jessica and her family were amazing! They took wonderful care of our dogs. I’m definitely using her again! We received pics daily and she is awesome with communication. Thanks again!!”
“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”
“Paul has watched our pups many times over the past few months. He always keeps us in the loop about their days and we love receiving picture updates! They always seems happy (and tired!) when they come back home : )”
“Nainika was so kind and patient with Bailey, and she is obviously a big dog lover! Even though Bailey had some tummy issues, he was well taken care of and was really happy staying with Nainika.”
About: I've loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I've raised three dogs of my own, and they've always been part of the family. In college, I was the go-to sitter for my sorority sisters' rambunctious puppies, so I'm comfortable with high-energy pups who need patience, structure, and plenty of play. I've cared for everything from a tiny Pomeranian to a big, strong Alaskan Malamute, and for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. Whatever your dog's size or personality, I'll adapt to their routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule. I'm only in the office for part of the day and often work from home, so your pup won't be left alone for long stretches. I travel for work at times, so I only accept bookings when I know I'll be home and fully available. I already take nightly walks and love any excuse to get outside, so walks are built into my routine. With several parks just steps from my apartment, your dog will get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and sniff time! Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I host just one dog at a time in my smoke-free, pet-free home, so your dog gets my full attention with no other animals to compete with. Before every stay, I'll gather everything I need to know: feeding schedule, medications, vet info, emergency contacts, and any quirks or habits. That way I can keep your dog's routine as close to home as possible. My apartment is dog-proofed, with food, cords, and anything harmful kept out of reach. Dogs are always leashed on walks, and I'll keep a close eye on them at the park. You can expect regular photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I treat every dog like my own, and my goal is for yours to come home happy, tired, and well-loved!
“Nitzan and her family were terrific hosts and took wonderful care of Essie! I received regular updates, and scheduling pickup/dropoff was very easy. I hope to rebook in the future!”
“Rebecca was an amazing dog sitter! She gave frequent updates and photos. It’s clear our dog had an amazing time with her. Your dog will be in great hands with Rebecca! We would definitely have her dog sit again!”
“Our dog was so happy staying with Joselio! It was his second time over and as soon as we got to the building he was pulling to go inside. In the past he has gone on hunger strikes when we’ve left and refused to eat, no issue with that at Joselios. There’s also such a peace of mind that comes with his fiance being a vet. We got so may pictures and videos, highly recommend using Joselio!”
“Dohwee was amazing! Our pup was immediately excited when we did a meet and greet, you can tell Dohwee is a dog person! He gave us great updates and made sure to ask questions and our dog was happy to see us but also clearly would have been fine staying with Dohwee longer 😂”
“Yang was absolutely amazing watching Tormund. She went above and beyond what I expected from my first time using Rover. She's going to be the first person I go to for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Wallace had the best time with Claire and her family. I know he loved sleeping with her kids and he was happy to see me again, but was actually a bit slow to get out the door and into the car. I'm positive he'd give them two thumbs up if he had thumbs!”
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“Leah is incredible! She is the sweetest person and took wonderful care of Lupine. I got frequent updates and knew Lu was in the best hands the entire time. I highly recommend her!!”
“Kathryn was terrific. She clearly knows and loves dogs; she was a clear communicator before and during Honor and Mystic’s stay; and our pets came home, happy to see us but it seems after a very good weekend! We would recommend her without hesitation.”
About: I’ve taken care of/fostered Pit bull mixes and German Shepherds for 2 years for friends and family. Current care is now centered around my brothers Doxen! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am very patient and understand body language. I work fully remote from my apartment in Beacon Hill. . There are plenty of areas to walk to for bathroom essentials and getting some exercise in throughout the day. I typically go for a decent walk at lunch and split up my mornings and afternoons with short walks. But, can give constant care through out the day around meetings. I live in Beacon Hill, with a fenced in patio. While it is not a "yard" there is plenty of space to soak up some sun and get fresh air. There is plenty of space in the apartment to stretch out. It is easily secluded, so dogs reactive to people walking by will be no problem at all.
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“Julia took great care of my cat while we were suddenly away for a few days. It’s great to find someone so reliable on such short notice. Would use again and recommend to others!”
“Sydney did a great job watching our pup for the weekend! She was thoughtful in her updates, and was helpful in scheduling around a very busy weekend for us. Highly recommend, thanks again!”

Amanda is the best and most trusted dog sitter!! I have complete faith in her competency with our dog. She takes the time to really get to know every dog she cares for to cater to their needs, preferences, and favorite activities. Our dog loves Amanda! I know that when we drop her off, she will be safe, comfortable, and happy. It makes our vacations stress-free, knowing our pup is in amazing hands!
This was our first time using River and we hit the jackpot! Elizabeth and Rodrigo and their sweet family are wonderful. So kind and attentive to our dogs. Loved the pictures while our girls were in their care. This was the first time our dogs stayed at someone’s home without us there and they were so calm and relaxed when I picked them up. That speaks volumes to how well they were cared for. We will definitely reach out again in the future.
Cindy is the best! She takes such wonderful care of our dog, Bear, and gives us complete peace of mind while we're away. She sends updates and photos throughout the day, and it's clear how much she genuinely cares about him. We always know Bear is safe, happy, and well taken care of with Cindy. We couldn't recommend her more!
Wilson came back exhausted and completely happy after spending 5 days with Jo and Adam- a sign of a great weekend! They sent many updates throughout his stay which left us to really be able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. I could not recommend them enough!
Megan was absolutely incredible with Larry! She went above and beyond to make sure he had the best time, taking him on walks, playing fetch, and even bringing him along for a run. The picture updates were amazing and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear he was having the time of his life and getting so much love and attention. Honestly, he didn’t even want to come home! 😂 I couldn’t recommend Megan more highly. I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my by!
Ashley accepted our last minute request and even did another play date for our dogs before hand. She was very flexible with timing and gave Chimmy a lot of attention, and took him to the park to run and play fetch. She sent amazing photos and videos that were so cute to watch.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
