“My dog loved staying with Gina. He usually has a difficult time being separated from us, but she made him feel comfortable and secure from the very beginning. He seemed completely at home in her care, which made the transition remarkably easy for both him and our family. Gina is clearly very experienced with dogs, and she took exceptional care of Parker. We felt confident knowing he was in such capable and caring hands.”

“What can I say? Nothing says more than watching my dogs’ reactions when they see Jess - pure excitement! They absolutely adore her and her family, and that tells me everything I need to know. Going away used to be so hard for me because I hated leaving my two BFFs behind. Now, as much as they are still my life, I can walk away feeling completely at ease knowing they’re happy, loved, and in the very best hands. There’s no worrying or feeling guilty - they’re too busy having their own little vacation with Jess and her family! Also, I can always tell when I pick them up that they’ve had a great time. They come home happy, relaxed, and completely themselves — which, to me, says it all! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Jess and her loving family to care for our fur babies. Nothing is better than going on vacation, guilt-free, knowing your little buddies are away having fun, too! While away, peace of mind means everything to me, which is one of the many reasons why I so highly recommend Jess.”

“Our pup, Reese, absolutely adored Maggie and had a great stay! Maggie was amazing with Reese, so patient with her picky eating style and getting dirty at the park. She also paired our pup with another sweet dog who was staying with her, so they had a nice doggy hangout all weekend. Highly recommend!”

“This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience because of Aly. She communicated with us right from the start and set up a meet and greet where she asked questions about our puppy's routine, needs, and preferences. We were nervous immediately felt very comfortable leaving our brand new puppy with her. Aly sent daily updates and pictures throughout our vacation and we could tell our dog was comfortable and happy. Aly felt like an extension of the family right away and we I couldn't recommend her more. We will definitely look to have her watch our dog in the future.”

Hyesoo and her family took wonderful care of my dachshund, sending many videos every day to make sure I knew he was well cared for. Lots of walks and hugs. He was happy to see me when I got back from vacation but I know he really enjoyed his time with Hyesoo. Highly recommend!

Appreciate the adaptation and communication! A bit harder to plan around Nainika's meeting schedule than other Rovers but she was adaptable and drop off Bentley when our flight was delayed, and I did a "silent drop off" using her door code to drop him off with her while she was on meeting. She sent pictures of Bentley peeing in the house -- he needed a bit more of a walk than just being let outside in the backyard during a heavy rainstorm. Unfortunately, did loose one of his toys, but offered to cover the cost of replacement.

We had the pleasure of meeting Andy and his partner with our dog Gabby and they were instantly likeable and very understanding and accommodating. They looked after her so perfectly despite the tough weather, they made sure to send us regular updates with every single walk, which we so appreciated! It made our time apart from Gabby just a tiny bit better with every new piece of content. The communication, drop-off and pick-up all went so smoothly that we would not hesitate to go back to them again, next time we have to leave our precious dog with someone.

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.

Andrea is fantastic! I was thrilled to book Andrea’s services, as she is the ultimate professional. We needed 5 nights of overnight coverage for our 3-year-old labradoodle puppy. Andrea very kindly answered all my questions about how she would care for Sammy. She took excellent care of him for 5 days and nights. Throughout Sammy’s stay, Andrea sent many pictures of a very happy puppy. Sammy typically has a lot of eye secretions, and Andrea followed all of our instructions and did an excellent job of keeping his eyes clean and healthy. Sammy came home happy, healthy, and tired from playing with the other dogs. We feel so lucky to have found Andrea and highly recommend her dog sitting and boarding services!

Laura is amazing, and we would highly recommend her. We can't thank her enough for caring for our big boy, Leon. She made Leon feel right at home, and with her tall cat tree, toys and great windows for people & bird watching, her place is a dream vacation for our kitty. Leon had an extended stay (over 2 weeks), and Laura sent us daily updates. Laura has a way of catching his personality in photos, which made us happy to see how comfortable he was while we were away. Leon looks forward to future stays with Laura.

Most bookings cost between $23 and $79 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 4,222 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Chestnut Hill. About 90% of Chestnut Hill 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 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.
