“She took great care of my Amelia with lots of pics and videos and walks and spoiling. She looked like she was having a blast so I wasn't worried about her in the least! I definitely recommend Tiffany for overnights (and everything else but overnights is what I booked her for).”
“Brendan was amazing with my dog, Birdie! This was Birdie’s very first time at doggy daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for her. Brendan was incredibly friendly, warm, and accommodating from the start—he immediately put both me and Birdie at ease. He was so communicative throughout the day, sending updates and photos that made me feel totally comfortable and reassured. It’s always hard leaving your pup with someone new, but Brendan made it easy. I felt like Birdie was in such loving, capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Our other dog sitter cancelled last minute and Jhona was able to step in and take very great care of our dog! Roo had fun walks and playtime and we got photos and updates during his stay. Will book again”
“Hudson had a great time with Jamie! This was his first time staying with a babysitter so I was a little nervous about how he’d do (and nervous to leave him 😂), but Jamie was great and Hudson seemed happy and calm both days when I picked him up. Would definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“I'm so glad our dog get to stay with Tran! She's responsive and sends pictures throughout the day. Our pup had a blast with her with the toys she had and the walks she take her on. Really appreciate all the time and effort she put in for our pup. Thank you!!”
“Barbara is literally the best and so, so helpful. She took care of my dog for 3 days when I had an extremely intense schedule. She accommodated drop off and pick up and was always early - when I arrived she was already downstairs waiting for me and I really appreciate that. She is experienced and can identify the needs of my dog and update me accordingly. When my dog returned to her place for the 2nd and 3rd day my dog looked so happy to be with her again. I’ll definitely have her taken care of my dog again if necessary”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy pets, and I’m always reliable and communicative. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. I offer daytime services like drop-ins, walks, and playtime, and I plan my schedule around the pets I care for. I’m dependable, flexible, and make sure each visit is focused, fun, and tailored to the pet’s needs—whether that’s a long walk, feeding, or some one-on-one attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines—meal times, potty breaks, walks, and playtime—to reduce stress while their owners are away. I always follow any specific instructions, from medications to feeding preferences, and I give regular updates and photos to keep pet parents in the loop. I’m clean, respectful of the home, and make sure every pet feels at ease while in my care.
“Maddy was SO great and sweet with Millie. She sent lots of pictures which was so nice and she is very communicative and quick to respond! I definitely recommend her!”

I understand that every dog has a unique personality and please rest assured, I'll try my best to take care of your baby!! I work from home, which allows me to provide flexible and attentive care throughout the day. I can take dogs for walks at least twice daily, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship. My schedule is flexible, making it easy to accommodate your pet's needs and routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine and providing a calm, loving environment. I carefully supervise pets during walks and playtime, follow any special instructions you provide, and make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. I also have experience with puppy training, leash walking, crate training, and positive reinforcement techniques.
About: Growing up in Minsk, Belarus, I had an Alsatian (he was the best) as a teenager, however I don't have my own pets at the moment, and I have a lot of love to give! I had boarded my friends' dogs and cats for years, before joining Rover. I live on East Boston waterfront, close to the airport, convenient for pre and post traveling drop off and pick up. I currently work from home and love giving pets care and attention they crave and deserve. My rule is only board an individual pet unless pets come from the same family (up to 3 at once), so lots of love and attention and no worries if your pet is not a fan of other dogs or cats. I am pretty flexible mornings and afternoons/nights as I work from home at East Boston waterfront, 7 minutes walk from Maverick T station. I love walking dogs on the waterfront or play with them in the local dog park (if your dog loves playing with other dogs). I will follow your recommendations and rules strictly when caring for your pet. I live in an apartment, and can do 3 walks per day on the beautiful East Boston waterfront.
About: I am a pure dog lover and ready to spoil your pup! I’m responsible, caring, dependable, and want to treat your pup like my own!

I love long walks, playing fetch, cuddling, and giving treats obviously! Anything your dog needs, I will make sure they are safe and cared for. My goal is to have a happy puppy and a worry-free owner! (You will get updates and pictures daily too!!) My schedule is very flexible! I am a full-time graduate student and part-time worker at Earl’s Kitchen! I only have one in-person class Tuesday nights where I am unavailable from 2:00 pm - 7:00pm. Then for my job I work nights mainly on the weekends! I work Thursday - Saturday from 5:00 pm - 11:00 pm. Any other time through the week I am doing school work in my apartment which is located in Portside in East Pier. I am available during most working hours through the entire week where I can take your dog for a walk, stop in to check on them, or bring them to my 1 bed apartment if needed for a few hours! I care for your pet like they are my own! I am very reliable and trustworthy when it comes to clients’ home. Following your instructions and making sure your pet is safe and cared for is my priority! Anything your dog needs is my goal!
About: As a lifelong animal lover I have cared for dozens of dogs/pets of all shapes and sizes and I absolutely adore them! No matter the weather, all pets deserve to have a great and adventure filled day and I’m happy to help when you’re busy or plans change. I will always put your dog first when it comes to safety and enjoyment having been trained and years of taking care of our own family dog. My number one priority is to make sure your pup is happy and safe! I love to play, excercise, walk or just hand with them whatever their needs may be. I am WFH with a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your babies whether for a walk or to pet sit. They will get all the care required anytime they are in my supervision which includes lots of fun and activities! I have a designated dog patio in my building along with a very secured home. I also have the space for a crate if that is desired for pet owners. I’m also in the heart of Boston and can take them on many walks to and from the Boston Common
About: I grew up with two dogs and know how much they miss their owners while home alone. I’m here to help take care, look after, and visit any pets that need someone to look after them. I’m currently working remote so I’m flexible and open to fit any schedule as needed. Weeknights or weekends, at home or visiting services are all available! Large open spaced condo in east Boston with plenty of room for a furry friend. 10min from the Boston waterfront harbor, so love to do walks in the area.
About: Hi! I’m Victoria and I am a full time dog sitter. I have a dog of my own! She is a chihuahua-dachshund mix and her name is Lila! I have dog sat for family and friends and wanted to bring my love for animals on to Rover! Because I am always home, your dog will not be left alone for long extended periods of time. I will be able to provide consistent care and plenty of attention! I live an apartment that is extremely dog friendly! It is conveniently located 5 mins walking distance from dog parks and other green areas for your pup.
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

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Boston
Xiaoyuan and William were wonderful! They were super responsive from the start and flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything so easy for us. They sent tons of photo and video updates throughout the day, so we always knew how our dogs were doing. Both of them came home happy, relaxed, and completely exhausted :)
Heesu has been SO wonderful as a dog sitter for Seymour. He literally runs up to her when he sees her, and I can tell from the pictures he sends that he has a great time hanging out with her while I’m in the office. It’s such a relief knowing he’s been well cared for while I’m at work.
She was absolutely amazing with Smooky! She sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay which was so reassuring and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She’s incredibly sweet, caring, and attentive and Smooky seemed so happy and relaxed with her. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her!
Haowen took wonderful care of my 10-year-old Australian Shepherd while I traveled out of state for a family event. My Aussie has arthritis, so I’m always a little cautious about leaving him with someone new, but Haowen quickly put me at ease. Throughout the day, I received gorgeous photos and regular updates that reassured me he was happy and well cared for. He got plenty of walks, attention, and companionship, and it was obvious he was having a great time. I will absolutely use Haowen again the next time I need someone to care for him!
Ciara took such wonderful care of our 7-month-old puppy, Josh! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and attentive, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was with her. Josh seemed so happy and well cared for when we picked him up. We’re very grateful to have found her!
Lauren was very kind and accommodating. She was able to pick up my pooch for me and available on short notice. Only negative is that she needed proof of vaccines on very short notice and it was a holiday weekend; luckily I had a copy in my email but it would be best to have that listed in one’s profile.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
