“Tyler and his fiancée did a fantastic job taking care of Soka again. They were very communicative throughout the stay and even handled both pick-up and drop-off, which was a huge help. We really appreciate the care they showed and look forward to booking with them again in the future!”
“Had a great experience boarding my Golden Retriever with Christina! From the initial meet & greet I could tell Christina was competent, professional, and caring. Leading up to and throughout the boarding she was communicative and sent multiple pictures daily, so I know my dog had a great time. Drop-off and pick-ups were easy. Overall really pleased with the boarding service and will be boarding with Christina again soon!”
“Jing was an amazing sitter for my elderly dog, Tela! She was available last minute for a few days and took such good care of her. She sent many pictures and videos updating me about Tela’s stay so that I had no concerns or worries. She also would update me after providing Tela’s medication to her. Tela was in great spirits when I went to pick her up - and she can be very picky about where she stays. I would definitely recommend Jing!!”
“Zelun and his wife took AMAZING care of my dog while I was gone for over a week! They sent pictures and videos, took him on a little day trip (pre approved) and definitely loved my pup as their own while I was away :)”
“Lynne took such great care of Napoleon. Napoleon is a senior dog with diabetes and cushings disease and Lynne had never given insulin shots to a dog before but took it on without fail! Napoleon came home super happy and healthy. We are so thankful to have found Lynne to care for our little old man while we went away for the week.”
“Greta is an amazing dog sitter! She provided lots of updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked incredibly happy and well cared for throughout the stay. She even gave my dog a bath, which was such a thoughtful offer. Juniper is also absolutely adorable, and it was wonderful that my dog had such a sweet companion to play with. I would highly recommend Greta to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Phillipa was such a pleasure to communicate with - she and her husband very clearly cared for our pup and enjoyed having him. 10/10 and will definitely use them in the future”
“Haowen took excellent care of Bandit. He sent frequent updates and when Bandit was reluctant to eat went out to get peanut butter to mix into his food. He also went to get a ball so Bandit could do his favorite activity of playing fetch. When it was time to get Bandit he was excited to see his mom and dad but then went back to Haowen to say goodbye, which is Bandit's way of saying thank you. Bandit gives a 5 PAWS rating and hopes he can visit again soon”
“Miranda was so wonderful with Charlie! She sent me so many cute photos and videos while I was away and I could tell he was having the time of his life! Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Aurora was great with our dog Hailey! She stayed with her for more than two weeks and we got a lot of pictures! It was the first time Hailey stayed with someone else then family or friends, so we were anxious at first. We would book Aurora again, she also took the time to do a meet and greet upfront.”
“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!”
“Shuhua watched our dog Sesame while we went on an international trip. She sent regular updates and let us call her every day so that Sesame could hear our voices. Thank you for taking good care of our baby!”
“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”
“The best sitters I’ve ever had on Rover! They cared for my dog as if it were their own. When I am in the area again, I know who to call. Thank you again!”
“Over the course of the weekend, Ilya provided exceptional care to our beloved toy poodle, Max. Despite Max's tendency to be nervous, Ilya went above and beyond to ensure that he was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. We were impressed by Ilya's attention to detail and communication skills, as he kept us informed with regular updates and pictures of Max's activities. We are grateful for his exceptional service and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Yin was amazing!!! She was excellent at communicating, sent tons of pictures and updates, and was very accommodating as I adjusted timing last minute. Most importantly, it was obvious she really cared for my pup!! I’ll definitely have her care for Winston again.”

Oxana was absolutely amazing with Yuki! She kept me updated throughout his entire stay and sent me pictures all the time, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was comfortable and being well taken care of. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding, especially with pickup, and I really appreciated how accommodating she was. Everything was also left very clean and well taken care of, which I really appreciated. You can truly tell she cares about the pets she watches. I felt completely comfortable leaving Yuki with her and would 100% book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy, communicative, and reliable. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby! It was a pleasure having you take care of Yuki, I know he will miss you so much! ❤️🐾
Barbara and her partner took amazing care of my little guy! They followed his feeding instructions well, took him for plenty walks, gave him his medication, and sent plenty of sweet photo updates. I cannot recommend booking with them enough! I definitely will when I find myself in Bosto next :)!
Danielle and Samuel did such a good job taking care of Winnie. They sent a lot of updates and made Winnie feel right at home. Winnie played so well with Reggie and they were best friends by the end of the trip. Would absolutely recommend Danielle and Samuel for anyone looking for great dog care. We will be using them again!
Fernanda was AMAZING with our little pug, Sadie! Sadie had the best time with Fernanda and her daughter playing dress up, having a movie night, and hanging out with her new pup friends! Fernanda was also highly communicative, providing us frequent updates on Sadie, which we really appreciated. Sadie came back home a happy girl and we would gladly have Fernanda watch Sadie again!
Victoria did a fantastic job with Charlie. Her communication was excellent from start to finish: she kept me updated throughout and was easy to coordinate with. Charlie clearly had a great time and came home happy. I'll definitely be booking with Victoria again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.
Xiaoyuan and William did an amazing job with Kaz. They sent me a lot of great videos and photos. They were great at communicating and being flexible. By the time I picked up Kaz, he was walked and fed already so all I had to do was take him home which I really appreciate. I definitely plan to hire Xiaoyuan and William again!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
