“Vignesh did a great job watching our pup. He updated us regularly with pictures and even consulted the vet when an emergency came up. Would gladly use him again!”
“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Mellisa and her family. My dog stayed twice with them and both times I was getting back happy and satisfied pet. Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”

“Gabriel was the perfect match for my rambunctious dog, Bluey, who doesn’t trust many people and requires a lot of attention! From the start, Gabriel was confident, trustworthy, and reassuring, which made me feel completely at ease leaving Bluey in his care for 10 days. I really appreciated his excellent communication, regular photos and videos, and, most importantly, his transparency in describing Bluey’s behavior. It was clear that he genuinely understood her personality and needs and handled her with confidence and care. I would absolutely recommend Gabriel to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and honest dog sitter. We would happily book him again!”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”

About: I grew up with dogs and love all animals. We have 2 guinea pigs in our home. And 2 dogs thatare with us sometimes. They do not need to be there when we have other animals over. We would like to make time away from family easier on pets by welcoming them into our family for a bit. Thank you!! I work from home 3 days a week and in office 2 days. I would like to do pet care part time. I am able to walk animals outside or play with them inside. I have a yard with a dog line and we live at a dead end with walking trails 3 houses away. It is a very pet friendly neighborhood with not much traffic passing my home.
“We felt very comfortable and secure leaving our senior dog with Bridget for a long weekend. Bridget was highly communicative and kind. Marbles has a couple specialized needs that she easily accommodated (i.e., twice daily pill administration and avoidance of other dogs). Marbles tends to be anxious when without us but I could tell she felt at ease with Bridget from the pictures that she shared with us. We will rebook for sure!”
“Andrea and Joaquin were great with Brownie. They were patient, caring, and kind especially given Brownie’s old age. They were responsive and made sure to ask questions. They sent us wonderful daily updates. We would gladly use them again.”
“Carrington took such great care of our toy poodle, Teddy, while we were away from 7/06–7/13. She was wonderful from the very first meet-and-greet and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Teddy in her care. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Teddy was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. Carrington truly went above and beyond our expectations, and we’re so grateful for everything she did. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Marianne was great to work with! We did a meet and greet, and it was obvious that she was so attentive to the dogs in her care! I would most definitely recommend Marianne and plan to work with her again.”
“Kira and her family are great! Our dog, Lily is always happy when she's there and has lots of company and attention. We get pictures and updates and know she is well taken care of.”

This was Milo’s first stay with Dawn. My regular dog sitter was away so I reached out to find a back-up. Dawn was very responsive and was able to schedule a meet-and-greet within a few days, which went well. Their home has a fantastic backyard that’s perfect for running and playing, and Milo got plenty of outdoor time and activity during his stay. Milo is an anxious dog, so being in a new environment was definitely a little challenging for him. Dawn, Kevin, and the kids were incredibly patient and gave him lots of TLC. They even went the extra mile and put down blankets and rugs when Milo was hesitant to walk on the wood floors! It was clear that they genuinely cared about making Milo feel comfortable and safe. I really appreciated the patience and kindness they showed him, and I would definitely have Milo stay with them again in the future!
1st time long term boarding and everything went perfectly. Paola and Margav kept us updated daily (including with photos and videos) on how things were going. Cody had a terrific time, was well cared for, lots of personal interaction with Paola and Margav and got to play every day with his regular daycare dog friends and other boarders which greatly helped him make an easy adjustment. This experience was far far better (for him and us) than boarding at a commercial pet care facility and we will absolutely go this was on all future boarding requirements. I can’t thank Paola and Margav enough for making this so easy and stress free.

Frankie is so happy when he comes home from Margav & Paola! It makes me feel so good that I know Frankie is safe and comfortable in their home. I love the pictures they send. The communication is great and they are always very fast to respond. The huge backyard is perfect for Frankie to run and play! Thank you Margav & Paola!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Hamilton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hamilton 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 Hamilton.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hamilton. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Hamilton 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
