“Jennifer was a wonderful care taker for our dog. She was patient and kind. Kept us updated on a longer stay. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you.”
“It was clear that our dog was in excellent hands! Ilya was dedicated to providing tons of exercise in the parks nearby, and giving us detailed, routine updates on how the days were going. What sets Ilyad apart is his commitment to communication – these regular, detailed updates put our minds at ease and let us know our dog was thriving. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a reliable and responsible caretaker for our 2 year old Whippet, we can't recommend him highly enough! Chelsey & Dan”
“Not only did we have the benefit of Jing being in literal walking distance from our home, they did a phenomenal job of sending so many daily updates on Akina and Keiko that we were able to enjoy our time away for the wedding knowing they were in great hands. 100% will be going with Jing any time we need a sitter!”
“Yin was amazing!!! She was excellent at communicating, sent tons of pictures and updates, and was very accommodating as I adjusted timing last minute. Most importantly, it was obvious she really cared for my pup!! I’ll definitely have her care for Winston again.”
“Sarah was amazing! Extremely flexible taking Annie in on short notice and provided her with a great stay while keeping me updated throughout. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the Boston area!”
“Melodi is amazing! 2nd time we leave Ron with her and he could not have had a better time. She does not only take care of him amazingly well but also keeps us updated and sends a ton of pictures, which we appreciate! Melodi is definitely our go-to person whenever we need to leave Ron do to travel or work!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have cared for dogs of different ages and personalities throughout my life. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I’ll treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🏠🐾 Home Boarding I offer a comfortable, loving home environment for dogs 55lbs and under, 1 year and older. I keep boarding small and personal, with a maximum of two dogs at a time, so each dog receives plenty of individual attention and care. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and socialization. I’m happy to care for dogs who enjoy having other dogs around, as well as dogs who are more comfortable being the only dog in my care. Every dog has their own personality and comfort level, and I’m happy to tailor their stay to their individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around. I also have a stroller for dogs who prefer more of a pampered ride around town than a leash walk. Before accepting a new boarding dog, I prefer to have a Meet & Greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable in my home and that we’re a good fit. If an in-person meeting isn’t convenient, I’m also happy to arrange a Zoom/video call first. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️ I’m am very reliable and available for pet care on my days off, including Mondays,Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays . I can also open additional days on my calendar when I’m available. I enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. For drop-in visits, I provide care in your home and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your dog is safe and comfortable, keep doors and gates secure, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home.
“McKenzie was a lifesaver, offering to take my dog at the last minute the day before after I had a last minute cancellation with another sitter! She did a great job taking care of him and sent adorable pictures of my dog with hers! He came back home so happy! Thank you so much again!!!”
“Jim let us do a meet and greet before dropping our dog off for her first Rover boarding. When we dropped her off a few days later, she was excited to see him! Through the whole booking process and stay, Jim was very communicative. He sent us plenty of photos and videos and assured us our dog would be very happy. She definitely was!”
“Alec and Damien were perfect hosts for Fran! It was our first time boarding her and everything went super smoothly. Fran was happy and cared for. Would definitely bring Fran to their place again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Soumaya! 🐾❤️ She took amazing care of our dog, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She kept us updated every couple of hours with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and showed how attentive and caring she was with him. Soumaya is incredibly kind, responsible, and super trustworthy. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Soumaya and would absolutely trust her with our dog again! ❤️🐶”
“Brendan was fantastic! He took such great care of Mabel and helped socialize her with other dogs. He understood her fears and was dedicated to keeping her safe and loved. She had a great time and we got to enjoy our vacation with no worries at all aside from missing our girl. Thank you so much Brendan and I know Mabel can’t wait to see you again!”
“First time boarding with Maryah. She took excellent care of our 2 dogs and was very accommodating when we had to extend the boarding due to a family emergency. Would highly recommend and board with again! Thank you Maryah!”
“We left Winnie with Maja for a week while we were away. Winnie can be dog aggressive and likes to pull on the leash especially when she sees bunnies, but it seemed like Winnie did great with Maja. She can also become depressed by the end of the week when we leave her but she seemed to get more comfortable with Maja as the week went on and when I picked her up! Maja was great with communication and sending pictures daily!”
About: My fiancée and I are lifelong dog lovers who genuinely enjoy everything that comes with caring for a pup! We’ve had our own dog for the past year after bringing him home as a puppy, so we’re comfortable with puppy energy, training, walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I also grew up with a rescue dog, which made my love for animals start early. Your pup will be treated just like one of our own! 🐾❤️ We work from home Monday, Thursday, and Friday, so these are our favorite days to welcome pups into our home! Your dog will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We’re currently not offering daycare or boarding on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which allows us to give each pup staying with us the time and attention they deserve. Our apartment is very dog-friendly, safe, and welcoming! We have a small Maltipoo of our own who loves having furry friends around, and we live directly across from a dog park, making walks and playtime easy and convenient. We’ll follow your pup’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. We’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for!
“I have nothing but good things to say about Joseph. His communication was great and he was an awesome sitter for Athena. I want to point out that I made an error in booking my dog's stay and Joseph gladly helped out and made accommodations. He definitely did not have to do that, but I was so thankful that he did! 5 stars! Would definitely recommend!”
“Our dog is older and gets anxious easily. He was so relaxed when I picked him up! She did such a good job of making him feel at home and at ease. 100% recommend. Thank you so much!! ☺️”
“Jhoanna was amazing with Luka. As soon as we dropped him off he quickly settled in and felt at home. Jhoanna texted us frequently with photos and updates so we were assured that he was doing great during our trip. She took him out on frequent walks and ensured that he had his meals as indicated. Will rebook in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Fatima and Eric helped me out last minute with my reactive dog and I lucked out. It is obvious they have a lot of experience taking care of dogs. They provided updates every day that I was away. I am happy I found them and hope they are available the next time I am away.
She was amazing with my 4-month-old puppy! Her communication was great, she kept me updated, and I felt comfortable knowing my puppy was in good hands. She was reliable, caring, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! ❤️
We could not have put our two cats in better care! Chasstity completely put our worries at ease! She kept us posted with constant updates and let us know if anything was off as both our cats were in the midst of a little world tour! I hope to reach out to Chasstity for pet care needs anytime I’m in Boston again and cannot reccomend her services enough !
As always Zwany and her family are the best people I could have left my girl with. I continue to take the trip out to Winthrop to drop her off even though we have recently moved out of the area because I feel so safe leaving my dog with them. They are so understanding of my pups unique needs and are attentive and follow my instructions to a T (even if making her dinner can be a 5 step process sometimes). They care about you and your pup and are phenomenal people.
Took care of Toby perfectly!! Super kind and you can tell they really treat your pet as their own!! Also super understanding with travel issues. Overall amazing!! Toby loved them and runs into their house!! This is barely the second time he’s stayed with them and he already feels at home
truly the BEST!!!! we are so attached to our dog that it takes a special person to put us at ease about his care and safety—Grant is that person! we’ve been so scared to use a sitter but now we’ve booked multiple times with Grant! so thoughtful, thorough, and caring
Claudia and Joaquin were absolutely wonderful! They were so thoughtful and attentive from the very beginning, even coordinating a meet and greet beforehand so we could all get acquainted. It was clear how genuinely loving and detail-oriented they were with Sushi, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. They also sent tons of adorable photos and updates, which I really appreciated! I could tell Sushi was in great hands and being treated like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters!

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 .
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.

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.
