“Jo and Adam were great. They are very responsive. I checked in on Cooper a few days ago, and they responded within five minutes. They also sent pictures daily. I would definitely ask them to watch Cooper again.”
“Linda is an amazing sitter!! She took amazing care of Teddy. He loved running in her backyard and spending time cuddling. She kept me up to date about how he was doing and was very kind. Teddy would love to stay with Linda again!!”
“Frodo had a great stay- enjoyed playing with the hosts' dogs, I got great pictures and video updates, easy to communicate with. Would absolutely use again.”
About: I WORK ON SITE M-F, 9-5pm. I have some flexibility and can come home for lunch. I have a dog of my own, so I know the deal. Walking my dog and hanging out with her is the best part of my day, and I would love for your dog to join. Weekends are my focus and I’m free for shenanigans and long walks! I have my own dog so 3-4walks on the weekend is our normal. I would consider weekdays, but we would have to talk because I work full time on site M-F, so during the week they would have a 20-30min morning walk and 1-2 afternoon walks. I have a well mannered dog friendly dog at home and I would care for your pet like I would mine…which means a lot of attention. Dogs would have to be able to do 3 flights of stairs or be pick-up-able
“Zwany and Leandro take incredible care of my dog and cat. Having my pets stay with them makes vacations more enjoyable because I know they are being well cared for.”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“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!”
“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“Will definitely board with Nola and Damian again! From the meet and greet to picking our dog up, they were very easy to communicate with and took great care of Bori.”
“Jennifer was amazing and very communicative. Our dog Pepper loved being with her, as she was taken on walks, ball throws and taken care of. We will definitely rebook with Jennifer in the future for our dog care/boarding needs.”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“She was so great with communication, taking care of Bori, and flexible and accommodating with pick up/drop off. I would highly recommend her and come back to her for sure!”
About: Hi! I’m a college student with a lifelong passion for animals. I grew up with both dogs and cats, fostered (and later adopted!) two rescue kittens, and recently raised a puppy who just turned one. At home, I care for 3 cats and 2 dogs, so I’m very comfortable with multi-pet households and understand the different needs of both young and senior pets. I’ve even looked after mice! Being around animals makes me feel at home, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the same love and attention I give my own. I am free anytime after 5pm M-F (excluding commute) and have open availability on weekends! However, I am happy to accommodate to whatever your needs are! I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules and playtime to walks, medications, and cuddle sessions. I’m attentive to their body language, energy levels, and individual personalities to make sure they feel safe and loved! In your home, I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away.
“Elliot and Jo were great with this trial stay for our pup, Tony. We were able to schedule a Meet & Greet promptly, and we all agreed to a one night trial stay to ensure that they could meet Tony’s needs and our expectations. We got multiple updates with photos and/or videos and they followed his instructions to a T. We’re glad to have found new, quality sitters to care for our baby when we travel!”
“Really happy with the care my dog received! The sitter was communicative, friendly, and made sure my dog was comfortable during her stay. I felt confident knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“Dohwee was super attentive to my pup, who requires medication, PT stretching, and quiet walks. I received updates and photos for all of their activities together, which made me feel super comfortable. My dog had so much fun at Dohwee's!”
“Highly recommend Rachel. She was very flexible with scheduling as we had to adjust times for both drop off and pick up. Bodhi was very comfortable which we could see from the many photos and video that Rachel sent to us. Such a comfort to know our girl was loved. Thank you, Rachel!”
“Fernanda was a great host for Pasta! He is a high energy pup, so she went on three walks with him daily and was somehow able to corral him. From videos we received, he was also very sweet with her young daughter, who gave him lots of cuddles and love.”
“Geraldine was very easy to work with, I can tell that my dog really enjoyed his time with them and he was really cared for, which I truly appreciate. The only feedback is that I wish she would give more proactive updates, but I would definitely let her watch my dog again.”
“Rachel could not have been nicer! Our dog had the best time going on long walks and playing with Rachel's dog. She was great about sending daily photos. We would not hesitate to recommend Rachel. She is wonderful!!”

Rongan was amazing when it came to caring for our puppy, Cashew. She was incredibly communicative and had a deep understanding of the intricate details involved in puppy care. I highly recommend her services and will definitely book with her again in the future. She truly deserves a perfect 10/10 recommendation!
Charlotte took excellent care of our timid velcro pup, Lola! She sent us frequent updates and pictures throughout the boarding, asked thoughtful questions about our dog's needs, and provided a stress-free environment. She was knowledgeable, communicative, and attentive. Seeing Lola wagging her tail on walks with Charlotte gave us so much peace of mind while away from home. We had a lovely experience boarding our medium sized often skittish Lola with Charlotte and would absolutely book with her again.
Fernanda was absolutely phenomenal. This was my first time leaving Tuck (5 mnth mini-Aussie) overnight with a Rover sitter, so I was a little nervous. Fernanda put me at ease - she took time to have a thoughtful meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure it was a good fit, and she was incredibly warm, accommodating, and communicative throughout his stay. She sent frequent updates and videos, so I could see that Tuck was happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. I especially loved that she worked on new tricks with him and kept him engaged, stimulated, and well exercised. It was clear that he received plenty of attention and affection and was treated like part of the family. Tuck clearly loved his time with Fernanda, and I felt confident that he was in caring and capable hands. I could not have asked for a better first overnight experience, and I would happily trust her with him again.
Shana took awesome care of my pup! I plan to use her again. She was also super flexible and very easy to plan and communicate with. I had a slightly earlier pick time as my flight home changed several times due to a cancellation, rebooking, and then two more delays so her flexibility was really helpful and made everything easy!

There are 4,119 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Cambridge. About 90% of Cambridge sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
