“I’ve booked with Zwany and Leandro before and I cannot recommend them enough! They are kind, responsive, and will care for your pets like they are their own!”
“Victoria is awesome. I always get pictures of Bert while we are away so I know he's doing well, and he's always happy when we pick him up again. She even covered us when we forgot his bed this time. Our #1 sitter hands down”
“I couldn’t be happier with how Rachel took care of our pups!! She sent pictures often, was super responsive throughout the whole week she had them and she was amazing at taking special care of my husky and all the medications she had to take as she was healing her paws. Seriously the best dog sitter of all time!!! An enormous thank you again Rachel from us, Chance and Kayla 🤩”
“Ellis had a short stay with Emily and Daniel but will definitely be back! They sent great pics and updates and were flexible when our plans shifted slightly. Their dog seemed super sweet too and it looks like the pups got along well!”
“Ozzi had a great time with their family. We loved to see the pictures of all the snuggling. Highly recommend them and Ozzi is looking forward to his next visit!”
“Elliot and Jo were wonderful caregivers for Charlie while we were visiting Boston. Charlie came home relaxed and happy. Elliot took great pictures of Charlie on their outings. I would recommend Elliot and will use him again when we are in the Boston area.”
“John is the best sitter we could ask for! Our dog loves him and he spoils her with affection and lots of walks. We have now trusted him with a short trip and now a much longer trip. He provides great updates and makes us feel at ease leaving our baby. I would recommend him to any dog owner!”
“Haowen and Yi were amazing! They kept us updated with tons of pictures. We can tell they took very good care of our high-energy golden, she came home very happy! We will absolutely use them again in the future. I highly recommend them for any pet parents who are nervous to leave their pets! You won’t be disappointed!”
“John was excellent with harley! He really saved our butts with a short-notice booking. We got several pictures of harley every day while we were gone and she was looking very spoiled. Will definitely be asking John again next time we need a place for harley.”
“Nola and Damian were amazing! They took us last minute for my two young high energy pups. Communication was prompt and professional. My boys came home happy and well cared for, and I would happily book with Nola & Damian again!”
“Jessica was the perfect match for Chumlee. Her and her family were loving and attentive to my Old girl and kept her calm and entertained. She gave her meds and accommodated her needs. We will booking with Jessica for our next trips. She is communicative and easy to coordinate with”
“Dakota and Jax had a great stay with Jing! I felt happy and confident knowing they were having a great time through getting pictures sent throughout the day of the doggies playing. She has a great yard for the dogs to play in and set up a meet and greet before so they dogs could meet her and her husband!”
“Charlie had a great stay with Christina! I was nervous leaving Charlie and Christina sent photos throughout the stay so I could see what she was up to. Charlie had lots of walkies and snuggles and enjoyed her visit.”
“I would 1000% recommend Linda to anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their pup! She sent lots of updates and pictures during Beau’s stay and she is always very quick to respond. Her house and yard is perfect for dogs of all sizes and needs and I feel incredibly comfortable leaving Beau in her care. I’ll absolutely be booking with Linda again!”
“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“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.”
“This is a sad review to write only because it will be Charlie’s last stay with Ilya for a while since we are moving away from Cambridge. For the last year, Ilya has been rock solid reliable as a sitter for Charlie, always responding in minutes and always accommodating for last minute stays and changing work plans and cancelled flights. Charlie sees the bag come out and gets so excited that he’s going to visit Ilya and his rotating group of pups. During the stay I get frequent updates and the cutest photos. He comes home happy and calm from a fun stay playing with friendly dogs and frequent walks. I would highly recommend Ilya and only wish we were staying in Cambridge longer so Charlie could keep up his visits!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Boston
Could not be happier with the care they showed to my pup when I left her with them for just under a week. It was my first time leaving her behind, and she is just young puppy which can be a handful. I got plenty of updates on my dog’s activities and she was always very happy in every image or video I got. They were also extremely accommodating when I had some last minute timing issues. All in all, it was a relief to know my puppy was in good hands while I was out of the country.
Abby was amazing! Her response time was excellent and she was exceptionally transparent about her services. This really helped us determine if she would be a good fit for our dog. He can be a little challenging to care for but she was incredibly accommodating, understanding and flexible. Abby is very professional and attentive. She did a great job of sharing pictures and updates during the boarding. She followed all of the care instructions perfectly. I look forward to booking her again - we had a extremely positive experience and our dog loved staying with her!
Ivis was absolutely wonderful to deal with. First, she was quickly responsive and so easy to communicate with. Second, she sent very cute photos, which I appreciated. But mostly, when my flight home got canceled last minute, she helped me tremendously by being flexible and keeping Biscuit one more night. I have no words for how much I appreciated it - one less thing to stress about as I redid my travel plans!!
We had such a wonderful experience with Fernanda! Willow was instantly comfortable and clearly had the best time. We got frequent updates throughout her stay, and it was so sweet to see how much attention and care she was getting. They played games with her, taught her new tricks, and really went above and beyond to keep her happy and entertained. Their daughter was also incredibly sweet with Willow, which made the whole experience even more special. We felt completely at ease knowing Willow was in such loving hands and would absolutely book with them again.
Jennie house sat for my pit bull (who has a history of reactivity), and we’re so appreciative of her help! Our dog was immediately at ease with her. She was attentive, thoughtful, and sent lots of pictures. She took great care of our dog and we would highly recommend her!
We had such a wonderful experience with Soumaya! 🐾❤️ She took amazing care of our dog, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She kept us updated every couple of hours with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and showed how attentive and caring she was with him. Soumaya is incredibly kind, responsible, and super trustworthy. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Soumaya and would absolutely trust her with our dog again! ❤️🐶
Haowen and Yi were amazing! They kept us updated with tons of pictures. We can tell they took very good care of our high-energy golden, she came home very happy! We will absolutely use them again in the future. I highly recommend them for any pet parents who are nervous to leave their pets! You won’t be disappointed!

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.
