“Victoria was an amazing dog sitter. Daily updates with pictures were available and quick replies with any questions or issues. She was really flexible with the stay and watching Bella.”
“Anna is absolutely our dream sitter for our very playful and energetic border collie, Atlas. She and her husband gave Atlas so much love and attention everyday. Anna voluntarily sent us many lovely photos and videos of our pup as well as detailed updates daily. They loved Atlas as if she was their own, and we could tell how happy Atlas was staying with them. We felt at ease every day knowing that Atlas was under the care of such a wonderful and caring couple. We believe Atlas was on her own vacation! Thank you again. Atlas cannot wait to see them again. 😄”
“Yizi sent lots of pictures, responded promptly to any questions. My small dog was very happy to arrive at her apartment and was well rested and content when I picked him up. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Thank you so much for watching Harley! I could tell immediately that she felt comfortable/trusted you when I dropped her off and it made such a difference in allowing me to enjoy my trip. She’s already eaten the treat you sent her home with.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“John was very communicative about Chloe’s adventures throughout the day and sent daily pictures. I felt great knowing she was well taken care of and seemed to be having the time of her life. Would definitely have Chloe stay again.”
“Rachel was great in taking my dog at last minute. She sent pics of my baby every day and offered to even FaceTime if I wanted to. She was also great in being flexible for a pickup time as there were no reservations for the time we wanted to return.”
“Thank you for taking care of Theo again! Theo always runs right into Elliot and Jo’s house and heads straight for the dog toys. I know I can leave him and he’ll feel right at home.”
“We left Leo with Megan for nearly two weeks during our wedding/honeymoon. It was a long time to leave our pup with someone we didn’t know and we were nervous. Megan quickly calmed all our nerves by sending so many pictures and be very communicative. We’re so happy we decided to go with Megan and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Rachel took such good care of our dog Jax and provided plenty of updates and photographs. We will definitely ask her to watch Jax again and would highly recommend!”

“I booked Meredith to watch my dog Zulie from April 18th to the 23rd, and she was amazing! Super attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making Zulie comfortable and happy. She sent me regular photo updates, which I really appreciated. Zulie seemed relaxed and well taken care of the entire time. I’d absolutely book Meredith again!”
“Phi took great care of my elderly dog. He is experienced and knowledgeable in handling dog behaviors and was great at communicating. He sent photos of my dog every day, who always looked happy and relaxed. My dog was sad to leave for home!”

East Boston dog parents share their Rover experiences
Anna was great sitting Ranger for a few nights! Ranger’s routine is a bit more difficult than most, requiring insulin to be injected two times per day and Anna handled that flawlessly. Ranger is also visually impaired from his diabetes and Anna also took care of him with that impairment and he had a great few days with her and her pups. I cannot recommend her more!
Megan was so welcoming to my sometimes very anxious Cavalier, Ella. Great detailed report of all activities, food intake, walks and doggie behavior was provided upon my return. Ella looked happy and content to be with Megan at pick-up. I’m very grateful to Megan, who responded to my last minute request. I will not hesitate to book with Megan again.
Mariana and her family were great with Theodore!!! And he was so happy to be there with him! They spoiled him rotten and he absolutely loved it. Mariana sent photos and there wasn't a moment where I felt any doubt or concern leaving Ted with her and her wonderful and kind family. I would 100% come back to them if I ever need someone to watch my piglet of a pitbull ❤️ 💙 💜 Thanks Mariana! And please thank your family for me as well. They made me and Theodore feel like family 😄
Ollie stayed with Sean for two weeks, the longest we’ve ever left him with a sitter, and we were grateful to know he was in good care. Sean was flexible, responsive, and provided photos and updates to let us know all was well. Ollie came home happy and even freshly bathed. We would be glad to have Ollie stay with Sean again!
Kody was exceptional! He met us ahead of time with his sweet Golden Retriever (Milo) for a meet and greet before booking. He was flexible with drop off and pick up, and treated our dog like family. He regularly checked in with pictures and even left us with a hand written card and cute printed photo upon picking our dog back up. We will definitely book with him again!
We left our dog Zolie with Nicole for a long weekend (our first time boarding her with someone) and she was absolutely great!! She was very communicative and provided updates every day which we loved :) We will definitely trust Nicole to watch Zolie again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
This was our second time booking with Victoria, and once again, we couldn’t be happier. She sent frequent updates and adorable photos, which clearly showed how happy, relaxed, and well cared for our dog was. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again!
