“Myleigh did an excellent job with Mollie! She came home quite happy and in great shape! Even had had a bath! I got a great picture of her while away which made me feel great! Highly recommend!”
“Lindsay was a great sitter for our dog Wellington. She provided pictures and updates regularly which made all the difference. We were traveling for 9 days out of the country and really appreciated her caring and thoughtful messages. It really was clear how much she cared for our dog and it was very much appreciated.”
About: I absolutely love dogs. I have cared for my own dog my whole life, and he is my world! I will care for yours the same way! I am a student and have plenty of time on weekends and between classes to care for and walk the pups! I love walks too! I will cater to whatever specific needs or requests you have. My schedule is very flexible as well so just let me know what you need and I can help you!
“Another amazing stay for Rosie with Lori and Billy! We are a repeat customer and have found each and every time Lori (and family) take amazing care of our Rosie girl. The most recent stay, our family went out of state to an area with limited cell reception. We have a lot of trust in Lori that we know Rosie will be happy and we’ll cared for. We got tons of pictures during the week and it made us so happy and able to relax knowing Rosie was having so much fun! We highly recommend Lori! Thank you for taking good care of our girl!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Ariane and her home! Cookie had the best time during her 2 week stay. Ariane and family are very caring and made sure Cookie was safe and happy. Cookie loved the fenced back yard as well. She also enjoyed being at Ariane’s with the other dogs. I highly recommend her and I know Cookie will be staying with her again in the future.”
“I looked many hours for the right family to leave our Westie, Piper, with during a trip to Europe. When I met Donna and Roland at their home in Newbury, I felt so good about their experienced background with dogs. They advertised that they would allow a small dog to sleep in their bed which is what Piper is use to so this was another perk for Piper. Their home is very dog friendly and I loved the way they decorated it, inside and outside. Piper needed some extra meds while we were away and they followed all the instructions for her. When we picked her up, she was very relaxed and we knew she had a good vacation away from home. (Previously, we had people stay with her at our home.) She got to visit with another dog and a cat that lives with Donna and Roland, walked places that she had never walked before with Roland and was lovingly cared for by them. It was so good to see her so happy and content when we arrived to take her home. We will continue to book with Donna from now on and are so grateful for people like them who love her as we do. A+ to a wonderful care-free experience !!!”
“Benson had a wonderful stay with Liza. We got a ton of photos during the stay and benson was wiped when he got home. It is clear he was well taken care of and got a ton of play time while we were away. Thank you Liza!”
“We've used Hyesun to sit for us several times now. She takes excellent care of our dogs, walks them several times daily, has a clean, safe, house and makes the effort to send photos and keep us in the loop. I really cannot recommend her enough. I'm sure we'll be going back to her for our future sitting needs.”
About: I got my certification in dog grooming from Animal Behavior college, and have been grooming for about 2 years. I try to keep my clients pups on their same daily rutine. I have good sized yard that is partially fenced in, so I keep dogs on a long leash while roaming outside. I do not leave them alone out side in the yard. Along with walks, the dog park is also something I can do if requested. My schedule is flexible and I work with my clients when it comes to scheduling. If you have a special request, please ask. I am accommodating and will do my best to make it work for you and your pup! Hope to hear from you and our furry friends soon!
“Thank you for minding Theo in our absence! Great videos, excellent response time to my messages. Exceptionally knowledgeable about dog behavior! Lovely family, great back yard and lots of walks. Happy, tired guy. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was amazing watching our puppy, Loki! She even provided pet taxi for pick up and drop off! She kept us updated throughout his weekend stay with her the entire time and he loved playing with her 2 pups! Thank you so much!”
“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gloucester
We left our 14 year old lab mix with Kathy and Snickerdoodle while we explored Rockport. Kelly was very happy to be there with two dogs and Kathy. She had dogs to hang out with and a quiet place to rest and relax as well. Kathy was very responsible, communicative and flexible . We will use her service again when we're in that area.
Liza provided outstanding care for my dog Toto during my time away. She was highly communicative, and demonstrated a genuine commitment to my pet’s well-being. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which showed how at ease and happy Toto was during his stay. Upon returning home, I found my dog happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would confidently recommend Liza to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy, and professional pet care provider.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
93% of Gloucester 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 Gloucester 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 Gloucester 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 Gloucester.
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 Gloucester 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.
