“Thank you Antonio and Victoria! I am definitely a bit of a worrier as a new puppy mom and you were both phenomenal about fast responses and photos/videos. Thanks for being understanding of Charlie’s high energy and puppy behavior! PS he loves his new toy.”
“This was my first time leaving my pup, Biscuit, with someone on Rover. My pup has a good amount of separation anxiety, and I was apprehensive about leaving him alone at another person's place. Amy took excellent care of Biscuit, kept giving regular updates, and was very communicative throughout the stay. He had a lot of fun staying with Amy and her gorgeous pup, Poppy. She is very reliable, and I will leave my pup with her again!!”
“Logan and her dog Gus were wonderful with my golden. Logan has a natural confidence and calm presence that the dogs respond to immediately — they listen to her and clearly feel comfortable around her. She handled everything with ease and professionalism. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. Highly recommend!”

“Ester loved her weekend with Emily, Dan and Thomas! They treated her like family and kept us in the loop the whole weekend with updates and photos, which we loved. It was clear Ester was happy and comfortable the entire time. We would absolutely use them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive pet sitters”
“Zelun took fantastic care of our dog for over a week during Thanksgiving! Our dog usually takes a few days to perk up and get used to her new situation, but she settled in after the first night! Zelun sent daily pictures and videos from walks and afternoon sun naps, and our dog looked sooooo happy in every picture. Would 10/10 recommend.”

“Absolutely thrilled with the care Zwany and Leandro provided for my two dogs over the weekend! From start to finish, they went above and beyond. They kept me updated daily with photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. They treated my pups like their own, showering them with attention and affection. I was especially impressed with the thoughtful report card they gave me at the end, detailing how the dogs did during their stay. It's clear they love what they do, and I can't recommend them enough. I'll definitely be rebooking their services in the future!”
“Rachel was great with our German shepherd/ Australian shepherd mix! She sent pictures multiple times a day with an update on how she was doing and followed any instructions I had given prior to dropping our dog off. She deeply cares for the dogs well being and does anything she can for their best interest! We highly recommend Rachel to watch your fur baby ?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Boston
Mallory is so awesome to work with. She provides frequent and detailed updates with pictures of her adventures with Guinness. Guinness had to take medication while in Mallory’s care, and she had no issues taking on this extra responsibility at the last minute. She sent Guinness home with detailed time stamps of when he received his medicine. Mallory goes above and beyond every time. I am confident Guinness is in the best care whenever he stays with Mallory, and he even cries when it’s time to go home.
Haowen and Yi were wonderful again with Lil’ Dan! He clearly was well taken care of and having the best time with them. He especially loved the dog park at their building and endless time to play and explore. This was Dan’s second time with them and we felt great knowing he was safe and loved. We loved all the photos and communication. We are so grateful and would definitely book again!!
Monica was an amazing dog sitter! She sent lots of updates and pictures so I could see how well my little anxious dog was doing with them from the very first day through the entire eight day stay for my senior schnauzer poodle with terrible separation anxiety. She was the perfect dog sitter for my pup, she kept her entertained and busy so she didn't even cry when I left her there! I got to actually enjoy my vacation, and do things I've been looking forward to without my dog, all while knowing my little love was in the best hands. My review for Monica would have to highlight her reliability, the warmth in her home she provided for my dog, and her professionalism. I will absolutely be using Monica for my dog sitting needs in the future.
My dog Bear had a great time staying here! He’s leash reactive and Richard and Julia did a great job of making sure he kept his distance from other dogs during his stay, which I really appreciated. They sent lots of photos & updates which was much appreciated! Bear loved them and would definitely stay there again

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of East Boston sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which East Boston landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their East Boston 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 East Boston.
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.
You and your East Boston 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.
