“Julie just watched my shihpoo Jasmine for the first visit. Jasmine and I recently relocated from Virginia to Massachusetts and she is experiencing severe separation anxiety. I had to make a trip out of town and Julie's expertise showed brilliantly. She was like a second mom to my precious pup and fulfilled my every hope and dream. A blessing indeed. Who can put a price on peace of mind?”
“Claude had a good time and we loved the photos along the way - would definitely book with Sarah again! We could tell he got tons of attention from everyone in the family and really felt at home!”
“Brianne took great care of our shy chihuahua mix! She was very responsive over text and sent us plenty of photos. We would definitely book Brianne again and recommend her services!”
“Francois was extremely communicative and took great care of our pup while we were traveling. He made me feel confident that she was well cared for and loved while we were gone. She returned home happy and healthy.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Emily. She was very flexible with my schedule, the communication was amazing. Mostly importantly she was wonderful with Stella. She kept me updated with photos and messages and you could see Stella was loving her time with Emily. I would not hesitate to book another stay.”
“Sarah was terrific with our dog Dougal. Communication was great and everything went to plan. We were very pleased to have found Sarah and would be happy to have her look after Dougal again. We would definitely recommend her to others.”
About: I absolutely love all animals! While I often sit for dogs and cats I love our small critters as well! I have a bunny that is fully house trained and uses a litter box! I love training animals and seeing just how intelligent they truly are! I have a special place in my heart for senior animals as I used to be a nursing assistant for geriatrics. I recently lost my old man dog last month so I definitely have a special place for senior animals as well as experience in administering insulin after meals as my brother chocolate lab is diabetic. I look forward to working with all kinds of animals and families! I am currently a server and a high end restaurant and have flexible hours. I really love this about both of my jobs because it gives me the ability that do both of the things I love most! I have a dog park and my complex backs up to cochituate state park. I am also happy to come to my clients home if that is desired! In that case I would follow any and all instructions left by my clients and of course maintain the upmost respect for both them and their homes.
“Jeffrey and Jennifer were caring, friendly, and hospitable hosts for my dog, and their dog is also friendly and welcoming. They took care to ask about and accommodate my dog's habits, likes, and needs. They were patient and understanding with her anxiety about being away from home. I felt 100% comfortable knowing they would give her lots of love and attention. I appreciated the walks, playtime outdoors, and all of the pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Bruce, once again, had the best time with Maria and her family. He seemed right at home and living the good life. They treat Bruce as if he were their own pup. It’s reassuring to know he’s in great hands, loved and spoiled when we have to travel without him. Maria provided the best updates, pictures and videos daily. We can’t thank Maria enough. We think Bruce is looking forward to our next trip without him so he can see his second family again!”
“We needed a sitter for our dog for a last minute trip we planned. This would be for 18 days. Finding a sitter was no easy task. Thankfully, Evan was available. Everything about our transaction was smooth and easy. He has an older dog, Luke who got along great with our younger and energetic Johnny. We received regular check ins and pictures during our trip. Jonny's stay with Evan was everything we could have hoped for. Really, I cannot heap enough praise. I would definitely consider Evan for another assignment the next time we need a sitter.”
“Absolutely fabulous! Robert and his family took the best possible care of my dog, and provided lots of love and belly rubs. He sent pictures twice a day which we looked forward to. Couldn’t not have been a better experience for my dog and for us. ❤️🐕🦺❤️”
“We really appreciated Karen's excellent communication with us while she cared for our dog, Rosie. Rosie also got lots of affection from Karen's daughter--which we also loved hearing about!”
About: Started dog sitting when I was living in Canada and have missed it since. Especially love young pups who enjoy stimulation and having a good routine. My 2 pups would be excited to welcome anyone to join our little adventure. I work from home unless called into the office. I love bringing my (or any) dogs with me since I spend most of my time in the outdoors during the weekend (camping, hiking, simply enjoying walks). Lunch & evening time is for walks when the weather is friendly. Otherwise, mental stimulation at home! Happy to tailor my care depending on each of my client. I usually feed & train dogs separately especially when they are new to prevent resource guarding. Dogs are allowed on furniture/ bed and my pups are trained to sleep in their crate if need be to give more space for visiting dogs to feel more comfortable at our home.
“This was Brady’s 2nd time with Hong. When I dropped Brady off, he was so glad to see them again! Hong sent us daily reports and photos. Most of all, they really seem to love our dog. Thank you so much for the excellent care!!”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“Highly recommend. Ryan was great, he helped me out of a tough spot last minute and was willing to take in Theo with less than 24 hours’ notice. Communication was excellent before drop‑off and leading up to pick‑up. The property is ideal for dogs to run and play. I would definitely rebook. Thanks, Ryan.”
“Su was amazing and so caring with our senior French bulldog, bulldog. He was very attentive to our dog’s needs and communicated on a regular basis about her well being and food and water consumption. We felt like we had a very good idea of how she was doing while we were away on vacation. We are very grateful for his thoughtfulness- they got into a good rhythm and I think Frances really enjoyed her time with Su!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cochituate
Bo and Xiaosong's family took excellent care of Wendy - they were patient, kind, and went over and above catering to her quirky eating habits. They also shared tons of sweet pictures and videos of Wendy enjoying her stay! We had two recent poor experiences with care for Wendy so we are thrilled to have found this family. So much so that we plan to check their availability before making future travel plans!
This was the first time our 7 year old havanese Hayden, stayed with Sarah and we were thrilled with the care and attention she received. Sarah is very warm, and comforting, and sensitive to a dog’s needs. Our dog usually suffers from separation anxiety, but had no trouble in Sarah’s home. Hayden is on a special diet and our instructions were carefully followed. We received photos and updates while we were away, and felt kept in the loop. We will certainly reach out to Sarah next time we have travel plans and wholeheartedly recommend her to others.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of Kookie! We really appreciated how caring and attentive you were throughout her stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. She seemed so happy and well cared for when we picked her up. We truly appreciate all the love and care you gave her and would definitely recommend you!
Our two dogs had a wonderful time with Sara. She has a fantastic backyard for playing and is in a great area for walks.. Our dogs had so much fun and they are really tired out! We are very appreciative to have met Sara and are thankful to be able to count on her for future trips!
Ryan is incredibly responsive and we felt really comfortable leaving our dog with him. He asked all the right questions and was so glad to learn about Piper’s quirks. He kept us updated everyday and we know she had a great time. What a relief! Ryan helped us feel relaxed enough to really enjoy our vacay time! Thanks Ryan!
Yagmur was absolutely amazing and we would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone! She was so caring and took care of our two dogs as if they were own. Yagmur was very communicative and provided excellent updates that kept us assured throughout our entire time away
Paige was great!!! This was our first time using this service and we could not be happier. She checked in with us daily with pictures and updates. Our dogs are older so we did not know how they would do. She was so good with them. It was very comforting to know they were in such good care while we were away. We would definitely book with her again!

On Rover, 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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Cochituate can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cochituate home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Cochituate.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cochituate. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Cochituate sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
