“Gina and her husband were so great! Very communicative, responsive, and sent such lovely pictures and videos. You could tell from the updates they really cared for Monty and Cocoa and our dogs felt so loved and right at home. We can’t wait to use them again!”
“My dog, Lucy, had a wonderful stay with Julie! Julie was very responsive to my initial response and any future questions. More importantly, I got a bunch of photos and updates of how Lucy’s visit was going which was wonderful. I highly recommend Julie. Lucy can’t wait for a future stay!”
“Christina was amazing! I booked last minute and she was eager to take care of Beru for the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates. Beru has some quirks and Christina was more than capable and happy to accommodate Beru’s personality. Would 100% book with her again!”
“Phillipa was very good with Kona. She sent daily pictures and updates. Kona got to do lots of exploring on multiple walks each day! Highly recommend Phillipa and we would definitely use her again to watch Kona in the future.”
“Xiaoyuan & William are such great dog sitters! They took excellent care of our dog for an extended stay. Our dog has enjoyed her stay very much based on the several photos and videos they sent. Wonderful experience, they are very kind. I strongly recommend them! Thank you!”
“Natacha is a great caregiver! She took great care of my dog Mollie, and was quick to respond to questions. I will certainly ask her to watch my Mollie again. Thanks!”
“Tyler took great care of our lab while we were away and sent a couple photos a day. He came back happy and cared for! We’ll definitely book with him again.”
“We left our lab-beagle mix with Faith for about 10 days. Our dog, while very sweet at home, can be a handful at walks since she can be very stubborn when she sniffs food, and is also easily freaked out by bikes etc.. She took immediately to Faith, and Faith took amazing care of her, handling her well on walks, giving her cuddles, keeping her company all day long, having her even sleep in her bed, and letting her use the fenced in yard. It was a great relief to have her so well taking care of while we were travelling, much less stressful for her than boarding her at a kennel would have been. I can highly recommend Faith!”
“Rylee was so wonderful with our sweet boy! Her energy and positivity were evident from the minute we met and we knew our Seneca would be in great hands! Rylee sent us daily photos of Seneca on hikes and long walks, playing in the yard, and sleeping soundly from all his wonderful activity! I will certainly call Rylee again and would highly recommend her to others.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and started walking neighborhood pups when I was just 8. All through high school I dog sat for friends, feeding, walking, and playing with their pets while they were away. I've also spent lots of time with cats over the years, even though I've never had one myself. I have two close friends in vet med, and I've helped one of them care for puppies being raised as future service dogs, so I've got a little extra experience with the little ones too! Whether it's a big goofy dog or a chill cat, I love spending time with animals and treating them like family. I'm on a hybrid co-op schedule right now, so I'm working from home most days except Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and I'm home most weekends too. That means lots of availability for walks, playtime, and drop ins throughout the week. If I ever need to step out while watching your pup, I'll either bring them along with me or have my vet tech roommate keep an eye on them so they're never alone. I don't have any pets of my own in my current apartment (my pets are back home while I'm away at college), so your pet would get my full attention. I have a front yard and backyard with easy access, plus I'm only 2 minutes away from a huge park with a fenced in dog park inside, so there's tons of room to run around and play safely. Whether it's playtime outside, a trip to the park, or relaxing indoors, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for the whole time.
“Izzy (our pug) was very well taken care of. She returned home in a good mood, well fed and clean. Emma was very responsive and attentive to Izzy. We appreciated updates during our vacation on how Izzy was doing.”
“Alex was a great sitter to Winnie. She sent a lot of pictures and updates through Winnie’s stay and treated Winnie like family. We would use her again for a booking!”
“Francois took great care of Walter while I was on vacation. I particularly enjoyed the daily photos of their walks in the woods, it put my mind at ease that he was receiving the best care. He seemed very happy upon his return!”
About: Hi! I’m a warm, caring, professional dog walker looking to add some walks and boarding to my schedule. I absolutely love dogs, and will treat yours as if it were my own with all the love, care and attention they deserve! I am comfortable with puppies, seniors, and even have experience with more reactive pups. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I am a professional dog walker with a local company two days a week, but am looking to add more walks and visits to my schedule. When I’m not dog walking, I’m working on building a sustainable swimwear brand from home, so I have lots of flexibility to work around your schedule. I don’t have any pets of my own, so yours will be the center of attention! I live on the second floor of a two family condo building. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but I live right off the Neponset River Trail and there are lots of great walking route and trails in my neighborhood. If your pet is used to sleeping in your room with you at night, I am happy to have them in my room, and can accommodate crated or uncreated dogs. In general I try to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.
“Emily is wonderful! I felt like I was leaving my pup with family – and she treated him like family. Emily provided us with lots of updates and photos which the kids really enjoyed. I highly recommend Emily!”
“We are so thankful to Gabriel! He cared for our pup, Hugo, last minute over a holiday weekend. He was patient and kind, since Hugo takes a day to feel comfortable with new people. He also sent updates and photos. We will definitely be hiring him again!”
“Sydney was amazing with my dogs. I had to schedule with her last minute and she went above and beyond sending me updates so I could enjoy my weekend away. She made sure my older dog was comfortable while he was with her. Will definitely be reaching out to her in the future”

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!

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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
