“Cora was friendly, responsible, and did an awesome job taking care of my dog. She sent me very cute pictures of him throughout the day, and he had a great time :) Thanks Cora!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home for the past 21 years, namely an array of bully breeds both large and small. When I moved abroad in 2023, my English bulldog moved in with my family and I’ve been eager to welcome all of my friends’ dogs into my life and home ever since. I’m often dog-sitting for friends across New England and thought now is as good of a time as any to offer the same support to others! I’m a full-time remote employee with a spacious apartment that happens to have an enclosed deck and located across the street from a sprawling park with dedicated dog areas! I’m a typical millennial woman who is always willing to lend my time and space to some sweet pups. My apartment is dog friendly i.e., they’re welcome in all rooms, on the furniture, and to enjoy the fenced in deck on nice days. I love long walks and therefore long walk companions and maintain a quiet and calm home life.
“Jhona was a great host - kind, responsive and patient with noodle, my 2-year old Maltese. Noodle is anxious, and takes time to open up and adjust but Jhona was able to handle him without any issues. Regular updates and pictures were shared with me, and I highly recommend Jhona to anyone in need of a sitter :)”
“Emily and Robbie were great! Really responsive, sent a lot of photos, really made my dog feel comfortable and at home. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Winn did very well with Emily and Daniel. When I picked him up from daycare he was wagging his tail happily, having enjoyed a day with them and their dog.”
“Tiffany and Steve responded quickly to any messages. They sent multiple pictures a day of the many walks they took Luna on. They were friendly and very interested in the well being of my dog and her stay with them.”
“Maddy took great care of my pup! My scampi loves to snuggle and Maddy was very kind and let her Velcro all throughout the day. She’s extremely communicative and sends tons of pictures throughout the day which makes me feel week assured scampi is in great hands!!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and having my own dog since I was 12 made them a big part of my life growing up. Being away from home for college means I really miss my dog, which is one of the reasons I enjoy dog-sitting so much, it lets me spend time caring for and bonding with dogs while giving them the attention they deserve. Over the past three years in Boston, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends and families who trust me because I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on maintaining each dog’s routine and comfort. I’m currently a senior in college with classes mainly in the mornings, so I’m home and available for most of the day. This schedule allows me to prioritize pet care, stick to routines, and provide consistent supervision and attention. When dogs stay with me, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their usual schedule as closely as possible. Dogs are never left alone for more than four hours, and I send daily updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away. My apartment also has a dog park amenity, which makes potty breaks and outdoor time easy, safe, and convenient
“Katie was so amazing with our anxious dachshund Willow. She made time for a meet and greet before her first visit and Willow warmed up to her so quickly (and that is no small feat!)”
“Tran was amazing with our old dog! We booked her last minute and right away we knew we could trust her. She was super communicative, thoughtful about our old/sick dogs needs, and just lovely all around!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I've had dogs in my family home, and 11 years ago we adopted a 7 week old puppy. We then adopted a kitten and completed our little family. I am often the go-to pet sitter for all of my friends and family and have experience sitting puppies, kittens, older dogs, and older cats! I promise your pets will be very loved during their stay and I will send pictures and videos everyday to make you comfortable while you’re away. I work from home so I have a very open schedule. We have an 11-year-old boxer mix who relies on me for walks and love every day! In our home, the animals are prioritized. We have a fenced-in backyard and are across the street from a large park. Dogs and cats are allowed in the bed and on the furniture, and our spacious house offers plenty of room to play!
“My sitter got sick and Jim stepped up very last minute to watch Freddie and was so wonderful. Very communicative and sweet with Freddie. His dog is super cute too! It’s always a little nerve racking using someone new, but I felt very comfortable leaving Fred with Jim. He also seemed to have a good time and was nice and calm when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Jim!”
“Brendan has always been an exceptional dog-sitter and is the only one we have worked with since our move to East Boston! Brendan has allowed our dog Saoirse to make great strides in overcoming some of her separation anxiety, which has helped her become more independent even at home with us! Saoirse adores Brendan and is always excited for doggy day care at his place! We are so grateful to be regular customers and look forward to continuing to work with Brendan!”
About: I've taken care of my dog for 11 years! I also watch my friends dog and my cousins dogs. I am good with dogs of all ages! I am currently in college, but I have plenty of time outside of class. I am free most days of the week and am pretty flexible! I will put your pets safety first and will always make sure to have a good environment! Especially during walks wherever and at home care!
“Radka is an amazing dog sitter and she takes great care of my needy wiener dogs. My dogs are always thrilled to be back and would kiss her goodbye! Radka also communicates well and gives detailed updates that are very helpful.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly understand how much they mean to us. My dog Richard was my best friend, and being apart from him during the war in Ukraine was heartbreaking, so I know what it feels like to worry about a pet you love. That’s why I treat every dog I care for with real attention, patience, and kindness, like they’re family. I’m now settled in Boston, focused on university and pet care, and someone is almost always home because my classes are mostly remote and my husband works from home full time. We also have a sweet Havanese named Millie who enjoys friendly dog visitors. I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, including giving oral or injected medications, following special diets, and helping shy or anxious pups feel safe and relaxed. My goal is simple: while you’re away, your dog feels loved, comfortable, and fully at home. Right now my days are a simple mix of studying, family life, and dogs, and since most of my classes are remote I’m home a lot. My husband also works from home, so there are usually two people around for walks, playtime, and keeping an eye on things. We naturally plan the day around the dogs’ rhythm with a morning walk and breakfast, potty breaks and little check-ins during the day, some playtime, and an evening walk to finish the day calmly. On busier study days, pups usually relax close by while I work, then we take outside breaks for fresh air and sniffing. Because this routine is already part of our life, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get lots of company, attention, and a cozy home vibe throughout the day. At home I try to make every dog feel like they truly belong with us, not like a guest we’re “watching.” I follow your instructions closely for meals, treats, commands, and any house rules you have, and I keep their routine as close as possible to what they know so they feel safe and relaxed. We live in an apartment in East Boston with my husband and our dog Millie, and we’re surrounded by great walking paths and dog parks, so pups still get plenty of fresh air and time to explore during our normal outings. Inside, they can rest on a cozy bed or hang out near us on the couch if that’s okay with you, and there’s always someone around to keep them company. I also love sending photos, short videos, and little updates during the stay, so you can see your dog’s happy face and feel calm while you’re away.
East Boston dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Margaret! She watched Josh for daycare and was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive throughout the day. Josh is still a puppy and can be a lot at times, but she treated him like he was her own and made him feel completely comfortable. I felt very confident leaving him with her and would absolutely book with her again!
Katie is fantastic!! We wish we could rate her more than 5 stars!! Our 7-month puppy had never been in anyone else’s house, and we had no idea what to expect. We are also first-time pup moms, so we were very nervous. Katie was very understanding and attentive with him, and gave us updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day! We felt at ease knowing our puppy was under her care. When we came to pick him up he seemed to have had a great time and looked very comfortable with her :) You can tell she cares deeply about dogs, and their comfort and safety! Absolutely fantastic experience.
Alexandra was great. Communication was prompt and clear. She took my dog for a “get to know each other walk” right after drop-off. Another walk right before pick-up. I felt complete confidence in Alexandra and would absolutely book again if I needed dog-care in Boston.
Kate is a great sitter and took great care of Charlie. She responded to a last minute request which really helped us out in a pinch. She took excellent care of Charlie, and was extra careful with him as he recovers from a knee injury that we’ve been dealing with. I wish all sitters were as responsive, thoughtful, and careful as Kate. 10/10, will rebook!
Jhona was a great host - kind, responsive and patient with noodle, my 2-year old Maltese. Noodle is anxious, and takes time to open up and adjust but Jhona was able to handle him without any issues. Regular updates and pictures were shared with me, and I highly recommend Jhona to anyone in need of a sitter :)
Jim was kind and responsive. He took great care of our two dogs for the day in his home, giving them walks and sending pictures and videos throughout the day. My dogs returned to me happy and tired! I felt completely relaxed all day knowing he was taking great care of them.
We just moved to Seaport and glad to have found Monica on Rover for our doodle’s daycare. He’s one anxious boy but Monica took great care of him. She’s responsive with communication and sends me photos to ensure he’s enjoying his day with his other daycare buddies. Already booked Monica again for boarding.
My pup had the best stay with Emily and Robert! They immediately put me at ease, it’s easy to tell that they’re both dog people. And their dog Auggie is such a sweetie too. Usually drop offs can be hard for my dog, but my second day bringing her here she was pulling to get to their building 🥹 she must have felt right at home! I really appreciated getting lots of updates and pictures and a detailed breakdown at the end of the day so I could see what a great time Ava was having. Emily was also very flexible and accommodating with my schedule. Thank you both so much, I would not hesitate to book again next time we’re in Boston.
Bianca was SO accommodating of our changing schedule, as well as an early drop off! She sent so many updates throughout the day and sent check in messages that put us at ease, as this was the first time our 4 month old puppy spent a day away from us. We highly recommend Bianca and will gladly use her services again, if she will have us 😊
