“We’ve used Aurora multiple times for boarding with Hondo and she’s done a great job! Hondo is always excited to go and she’s very responsive and provides lots of updates.”
“Our dog Anfi is a shy and very anxious girl. We’re usually unable to leave the house without her due to her separation anxiety, but thanks to Linda that’s no longer the case! Linda has been so amazing. She has treated Anfi with much love and care, and we are so appreciative of that! We look forward to many more day care and boarding stays with Linda!”
About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience working with anxious pets, ensuring they feel safe and at ease. I use positive reinforcement techniques and tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be in loving, attentive hands! I have completed the Red Cross Pet First Aid course in order to be prepared for any events that may occur. I work a flexible, remote job so I am available to tend to your babies as needed! My daily schedule starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m., but I'm flexible to your needs! I have a large, private porch with plenty of potty spots for your baby, as well as a park within a 5 minute walk if that is what your pet needs. My dog, Juniper, will be a great companion for yours!
“Jamie was great taking care of Maya, she sent me multiple updates throughout the week and made sure Maya was comfortable and happy!! I would definitely recommend her and will use again in the future!!”
“Brooklyn watched our Sydney for a quick overnight. She was very kind and responsive. Very accommodating of our pup's schedule and needs. We felt very at ease knowing she was in good hands”
“Haowen and his girlfriend were wonderful Rovers! I found Haowen after my previously-booked Rover cancelled last minute. Because of the last minute booking, I was very nervous, but Haowen was very attentive and asked a lot of questions up front to understand my dog’s needs and how best to accommodate her. During her stay, I received multiple pictures per day showing her having a wonderful time with Haowen.”
“Ilya was fantastic with our cavapoo while we were away on vacation. He sent daily updates and pictures to let us know she was doing well and having fun. When we went to pick her up, you could tell she felt right at home. Look forward to using Ilya again!”
“Zach was fantastic! He came through for us last minute when our other sitter cancelled last minute. He watched our dog Nugget for the weekend, and was flexible, communicative, easy to work with, and very attentive to our needs and directions. We'll definitely use him again.”
“Akhil and his family were great with Oslo! He shared several pictures every day and responded promptly to my questions. Oslo came home looking happy and healthy! We would love to leave Oslo with him again when needed. Thank you Akhil!”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“This was our first booking with Rover. Victoria has been amazing and made this a great first experience! She was very easy to communicate with and send us frequent updates and pictures. Our dog was well taken care off and we could see on the pictures that he had a great time and felt comfortable. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Michelle took exceptional care of my very nervous and anxious dog. I received daily pictures and updates while I was away letting me know how my pup was doing. Would absolutely book Michelle again!”
“Svetlana watched Harper for me at last minute notice while we moved - thank you Svetlana! Harper had a great time and I got lots of pictures and updates! Appreciate it so much!”
“John took great care of my high energy pup! His communication was excellent throughout the process and he too my dog on long walks. Looking forward to booking with John again soon!”
“We were so lucky to have found Jim and his family to help board Scarlet for nearly two weeks on short notice because another sitter cancelled. At the meet-and-greet, I knew right away that I could trust Jim with Scarlet, who is very old (15) but still high-energy, needy and sweet, and also to have Scarlet live with his little ones. I am so grateful they gave Scarlet a home away from home and treated her like their own sweetheart. I will definitely reach out again for my next business travel. Thank you so much!!”
“This was Luna’s first stay with Lori and I knew she was in great hands. Lori has a great set up with a fenced in yard and lives in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Lori was amazing at communicating, sending lots of pics and updates and making sure I knew Luna was safe and having lots of FUN! Lori took her on lots of adventures and took videos to show me real-time action. Lori also went above and beyond when Luna lost her Fi GPS device and Lori tracked it down by retracing steps and finding it in the woods. I highly recommend Lori and will absolutely be partnering with her again to watch Luna for me!”
“Leah was absolutely incredible, and I couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience for my puppy, Luna. As a first-time puppy parent being away for several days, I was naturally a little nervous, but Leah went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt comfortable, safe, and happy every step of the way. Leah was incredibly caring, thoughtful, and attentive to Luna's needs. Not only did she take her on neighborhood walks, but she also arranged fun outings where Luna got to socialize with other people and dogs, which she absolutely loved. Leah sent multiple updates and photos every day, so I always knew how Luna was doing, and her communication was consistently prompt and reassuring. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in such wonderful hands. I would book with Leah again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like their own.”
“My dog was so excited to go back to Todd’s for an overnight stay. He had the best time whenever he goes there, gets plenty of walks, lots of attention, and comes home such a happy camper. Todd is a trusted sitter for us and I will continue to book with him whenever I need somewhere for my dog to stay!”
“Our westie Thor had a wonderful time staying with Sarah! He got along great with her two Maltese and came home happy and tired. Sarah was excellent - easy to work with, super responsive and sent regular updates and videos to keep us posted on our little guy's weekend away. Would highly recommend - thanks for taking such good care of Thor!”

Shriya was absolutely amazing. She watched my cat, Milo, for a week. She sent so many photos/videos and played with him everyday. Her and her husband were absolutely wonderful. When my flight home unexpectedly got cancelled, she was able to watch him an extra day. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will be using her again in the future.
I am so grateful to have found Laura to take care of Thea. From the very beginning, Laura made sure Thea was comfortable and treated her like her own. This was the first time I’ve ever had someone outside of my family watch Thea, so I feel so lucky to have found someone so great. She provided daily, detailed updates and photos, and went above and beyond. Anyone would be lucky to have Laura take care of their pup!
Tiffany and Steve were a pleasure to work with and took great care of our dog. They communicated well, walked our dog multiple times a day, and asked every question you could to take the best care possible. They were timely, transparent, and our dog seemed happy and himself upon his return!
If I could give John more than five stars, I would. He accepted Loki on emergency short notice after another sitter cancelled, and spent the weekend pampering Loki like no one else! He was even willing to watch Loki for an extra day after my flight back was severely delayed.
Mallory was a perfect sitter for our sweet, anxious Murphy. Mallory was very prompt and accommodating at drop off and pick up, and she checked in with us 2x/day while away, just as she said. Murphy seemed to settle in really well, which for a first time with a new sitter is impressive. Highly recommend.
Mindy is amazing! She came through in a pinch on the day of. My sitter plans had fallen through, and she responded to me right away, and on a holiday weekend no less! She was super communicative, giving me pictures of my Pippin and updates multiple times through the day. She was really attentive to him and seemed to understand his needs to a T. I will most definitely use her again and I cannot recommend her enough.
John is an incredible dog sitter. Ahead of Luisa's stay, he asked us all the right questions - can she go up/down the stairs, what is the best way to pick her up, etc. That alone was so reassuring to us given that our dog is a senior and dachshunds are prone to back issues. We received frequent updates and photos throughout the week, so we were never left wondering how she was doing. We could tell by the photos that within a day or so she was completely comfortable and up to her usual antics. Having to find a sitter is one of the harder parts of traveling and I am so relieved to have found John. He is intentional about meeting your dog precisely where they are at and takes every step possible to ensure their safety and comfort. We'll be sure to book him again the next time we are out of town.
We had a great experience with Angella! She sent regular photo updates and our pups seemed happy and comfortable during their stay. When we picked them up she had even washed all of the bowls and items we had sent with them, and sent us home with extra treats which was such a nice surprise! Thank you so much, Angella!
Could not ask for a better sitter! My cat stayed with Chantel for ~9 days and was happy as ever when I picked him up. Chantel was kind, communicative, and flexible during pick-up and drop off. She has a beautiful home and is very knowledgeable about cat health, behavior, and care. When I dropped him off, she showed me all of the toys, tunnels, trees, etc. he would have access to, made sure I was comfortable with his feeding and drinking areas, noted the ways she helps/lets her guests adjust and get comfortable in her home and with her, etc. All throughout, she sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me updated, and spent lots of quality time with my little guy. At pick-up, she went over detailed notes she had taken over the stay about his behavior, adjustment to her home, eating habits, potential concerns, and more. She also made sure his litter box was clean and all of his supplies were ready to go when I got there. I had never hired a cat sitter before and was unsure about leaving my cat in someone else's home, but could not have found a better person to trust with the task, and absolutely hope Chantel is available the next time I go out of town. I cannot express how nice it was to know my guy was safe, comfortable, and well cared for during my vacation (truly I think it was a lovely vacation for him too)!
Fernanda was awesome!! She accommodated our last minute booking and took great care of our dog Tamsin. Even though Tamsin can be pretty anxious, from the videos and pictures Fernanda regularly sent us it was clear that Tamsin was comfortable under Fernanda’s care. Would definitely recommend.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,127 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in East Boston. About 90% of East Boston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
