“Ivis took very good care of Hummus. She walked and fed him , sent many pictures throughout the day and was very punctual with pick up and drop off times. I will definitely book with her again and would highly recommend others to do so. Thank you so much Ivis!”
“Our first Roover experience for us and we are so happy about Vienna's stay! Jim and his four years old little boy took amazing care of her and shared some cute videos at the park playing with her favorite ball over the day. We felt super relieved to see that she had a great day and was not too difficult (2 year old high energy golden at home and we were a bit anxious to give her away for a day). Everything went really well and we can't recommend enough Jim! We will use him again next time we need it! :)”
“Our pup was in a daycare with Tiffany and Steve for a little less than 6 hours, and he seemed to have had a very comfortable time with them. Tiffany and Steve were very prompt with their responses, sent us a lot of updates and pictures even in the few hours he was with them, and a detailed rover card at the end of the stay. As first time clients of theirs, they showed us the entire space where they stay with the dogs and the other dogs our pup would be playing with during his visit. They also were super flexible about his pick up and drop off times and were very eager to keep to our pup's daily schedule and meal times. I would happily board my dog with Tiffany and Steve again! Thanks guys :)”
“Luna really enjoyed her stay with Ardelia. We have a special needs dog and Ardelia was very understanding and helpful. We would definitely work with Ardelia again.”
“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!”
“Our other dog sitter cancelled last minute and Jhona was able to step in and take very great care of our dog! Roo had fun walks and playtime and we got photos and updates during his stay. Will book again”
“Hudson had a great time with Jamie! This was his first time staying with a babysitter so I was a little nervous about how he’d do (and nervous to leave him 😂), but Jamie was great and Hudson seemed happy and calm both days when I picked him up. Would definitely recommend!”
“Our puppy had such a great time in Mariah‘s home with her to adorable little guys. She took them on long walks and trips to the dog park and big plus she knows sign language and did some commands with our puppy. So cool!”
“Karina is great! My dog Kobi is pretty nervous and timid around strangers and deals with separation anxiety too but Karina did a great job looking after him and I’m glad he made a friend with Luka too!”
“Brendan was amazing with my dog, Birdie! This was Birdie’s very first time at doggy daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for her. Brendan was incredibly friendly, warm, and accommodating from the start—he immediately put both me and Birdie at ease. He was so communicative throughout the day, sending updates and photos that made me feel totally comfortable and reassured. It’s always hard leaving your pup with someone new, but Brendan made it easy. I felt like Birdie was in such loving, capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”

“Winn did very well with Emily and Daniel. When I picked him up from daycare he was wagging his tail happily, having enjoyed a day with them and their dog.”
“Barbara is literally the best and so, so helpful. She took care of my dog for 3 days when I had an extremely intense schedule. She accommodated drop off and pick up and was always early - when I arrived she was already downstairs waiting for me and I really appreciate that. She is experienced and can identify the needs of my dog and update me accordingly. When my dog returned to her place for the 2nd and 3rd day my dog looked so happy to be with her again. I’ll definitely have her taken care of my dog again if necessary”
“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”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life, growing up with all kinds of dogs, from bulldogs to german shepherds. I’m good with high and low energy dogs of all sizes, supplying pets, walks, and treats to make your pups forget how much they miss you! I’m especially experienced with senior dogs and the extra care they require, especially those with limited mobility. Because I work from home your pups will rarely be alone, which helps me stay on top of potty breaks, playtime, and any other needs your pets have! Because I work from home, I am able to take close care of your furry friends. I do like to go to the gym in the morning for about an hour, but am usually in one spot for the rest of the day so your pets won’t be alone and can have all their needs met. I’m happy to take breaks to walk/play. I am very respectful and comfortable in new environments and am happy to work with you and your pet’s needs. I’ve mostly pet-sat in other peoples homes in my hometown, so I am very used to following the guidelines you are comfortable with. I am easily reachable and responsive, and like to send check in photos at your convenience!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Charlestown
Xiaoyuan and William were wonderful! They were super responsive from the start and flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything so easy for us. They sent tons of photo and video updates throughout the day, so we always knew how our dogs were doing. Both of them came home happy, relaxed, and completely exhausted :)
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.
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!
Haowen took wonderful care of my 10-year-old Australian Shepherd while I traveled out of state for a family event. My Aussie has arthritis, so I’m always a little cautious about leaving him with someone new, but Haowen quickly put me at ease. Throughout the day, I received gorgeous photos and regular updates that reassured me he was happy and well cared for. He got plenty of walks, attention, and companionship, and it was obvious he was having a great time. I will absolutely use Haowen again the next time I need someone to care for him!

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 Charlestown 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 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 .
