“Julie was so great with our dog Siena. Siena can be a bit anxious, and Julie was so caring and great with her and made her feel right at home. Great communicator, got lovely pictures and updates while we were away, we couldn’t be happier with Julie!”
“The best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Christina was extremely flexible and communicative! She provided photos of our pup having the best time all weekend and frankly our dog was less than impressed with us when we picked her up. Will definitely be booking her again.”
“Hi my Milo had a great time with Natalie. She was sweet and caring and booked us last minute when we really needed it! I would reach out to Natalie again any time! Thank you Natalie you were awesome!”
“Holden was amazing with Astro! He kept me updated and informed. He sent photos as well. Astro loved his stay so much that he whined and stayed at the front door for a few minutes after returning home! We will definitely be using his services again in the future!”
“Winn took great care of our dog Mango on our trip to Boston! He sent photos and kept us updated throughout the weekend. He even brought Mango out to cheer as I ran past during the marathon - it was so nice to see her along the course! Highly recommend!”
“Brooklyn watched our Sydney for a quick overnight. She was very kind and responsive. Very accommodating of our pup's schedule and needs. We felt very at ease knowing she was in good hands”
“Emma took such great care of our pup Oscar when we were away for a week. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, and he was really happy with her! She made him feel right at home- will definitely be booking again!”
“My dog had a blast yesterday with Taylor. He loved the parks, and I enjoyed getting updates throughout the stay. Taylor is one of the best dog sitter I’ve met. She truly cares about the dogs in her care. My dog and I both love her and highly recommend her.”
“Tyler was great! He was very communicative and sent pictures every day throughout boarding. He answered every question I had promptly about my dog's first boarding experience. He started things off with a really great meet and greet to walk through his and his wife's process, where they walk the dogs, and everything they do to help the dogs feel welcome and get along with each other. We're excited to board her there again in the future!”
“Maja was so great with my dog, Zoey! I was a little nervous to drop Zoey off with a sitter because she was having some anxiety but Maja was extremely understanding and immediately put Zoey at ease. She is super communicative and accommodating. She also lives adjacent to a park and took Zoey for lots of walks / hikes in the park. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your pets!”
“Nainika was amazing! Super communicative, lots of photos, very flexible with timing changes I had to make. I could tell my dog loved staying with her and will definitely be going back!”
“Miranda was so wonderful with Charlie! She sent me so many cute photos and videos while I was away and I could tell he was having the time of his life! Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Isabella was great! She attended to my dog perfectly and was extremely communicative, updating with lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend and would definitely use her again!”
“Yick -hong is fantastic. My dog has some stranger danger, so I’m always nervous with new boarders, but he seemed to feel right at home. Lots of pics and updates, highly recommend.”
“Megan was amazing with our Italian Greyhound and very accommodating with our last minute booking. The Zoom meet & greet was such a nice touch! We loved receiving multiple pictures while we were away and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Hopefully we are back in the Boston area soon and will plan to book again!”
“She was very accommodating and responsive. I had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate Nala and took good care of her. Thank you! Will definitely be using her again.”
“Sara was great. I had an emergency and needed a sitter earlier than we had planned. She readily agreed to take Abby for the extra days before and after the original booking. As usual, Abby was happy and treated like the princess she knows she is!”
“François is an absolutely amazing individual with dogs. He has a really big yard, a patio and the woods nearby which kept my pupper happy. More so than that - this was the second time I’ve boarded him with François, and around this time my dog was too eager to go with him. He’ll emotionally invest into your dog, ask important questions and your dog will have fun! 10/10 recommend, and will come back.”
“Lindsay was very responsible and considerate. I could totally trust her for my pup to stay with Lindsay for two nights. My pup also seems to have enjoyed time with Bentley and Archie. Highly recommended!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dedham
Aside from immediate family and two friends, we have not left our very protective Doberman with anyone. She is the love of our lives, but we are aware that she is reactive and can be dangerous. Dan and Rossi are wizards. The updates I received showed a peaceful, loving affectionate dobie - well, exercised, mentally stimulated and happily spoiled We are incredibly grateful for them
We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog was clearly happy and well cared for, and it was obvious they treated him like their own. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!
Julie is fantastic!! We were a little nervous boarding our dog as he usually stays with family when we are away. Julie immediately put our concerns to rest. She is so caring and knowledgeable, and she sent us daily updates with photos and videos of Cooper. She was also very accommodating when our flight home was cancelled due to bad weather. We can't recommend her highly enough!!
Tauryn was wonderful to my dog, Ozzie! She's a great communicator and I got so many pictures and updates, and knew he was in great hands the whole time. They went for lots of walks, even to the farmer's market. With her schedule, it was super easy to coordinate pickup and drop off. Thanks for giving Ozzie such great care, Tauryn!
Meg was so amazing caring for my cat Dumpling!! I was in between apartments moving from NYC to Boston over Labor Day weekend, and I am so thankful to have found Meg to house Dumpling for a few weeks. She was so communicative and sent me lots of pictures! Super flexible for pickup and drop off and provided the best care for Dumpling during a stressful time! I will absolutely be using her again in the future!!
ARIANNA ROCKS!!!! Not only did she renewed my faith in Rover again after having two bad experiences with sitters who confirmed and then ghosted me, but the way she and her family cared for my Pepper was PRICELESS!!! Pepper IMMEDIATELY gravitated to her and the family! THANK YOU for making Pepper feel like family! She even misses her son, who cried as Pepper left which made me get emotional! Don’t worry, Pepper will be back VERY SOON!! 5 STARS AND A MILLION THUMBS UP!!!
Aly is wonderful as always. She and her adorable daughter took great care of our cat while we traveled for over three weeks. Knowing that our cat is in caring hands gives us so much peace of mind when we are away. Plus, Aly always goes above and beyond. She even made extra trips to our house and when she discovered that our refrigerator had broken, she emptied it and prevented a bigger mess. We can’t thank her enough.
Rudy stayed with Minglu and Yulin for 7 days to board while we were on vacation. He was well loved and cared for. I got updates everyday, sometimes multiple times a day with pics of him having a ball with his friends. He also looked and smelled great when I picked him up!
Sheila and her fiancé took great care of Winnie, we really appreciated the daily photos and videos of Winnie while we were away, it made us feel good knowing Winnie was in great hands and that she was not just taken care of but played with a lot- which she loves. Sheila met with us before a trip we planned earlier this year, and we had to cancel our plans- but later she also accommodated us on a short notice trip which was also so incredibly nice. We appreciate her flexibility and understanding and would love to have her watch Winnie again.
Rex had an amazing stay with Ross. We received regular pictures and videos as well as daily messages about how Rex was doing which made being apart from our pooch much easier. Ross handled a minor medical issue with aplomb, which eased our minds greatly. We had peace of mind knowing our guy was staying with Ross. We highly recommend Ross!

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 .
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.

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.
