“Alyson was great, she is very experienced with dogs and was very comfortable in taking care of Hazel. She gave us frequent updates and was very active with our dog! We would use her in the future for sure!”
“Barbara’s care of Ziggy was top quality, thoughtful, professional and comforting for us because we frequently got cute update pics of our dog, and would often set up play dates with other dogs. She treated our Ziggy with much love and TLC!”
“Angela was wonderful dog sitting my pup for a long weekend! She was quick to respond, happy to have an initial meet and greet and sent me tons of updates during his stay. My dog was well cared for and I’d be happy to use Angela again”
“I had such a great experience with Anna taking care of Miso over the past few days. She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful throughout, asking questions like whether Miso was okay riding in the car or meeting other dogs, which really showed how much she cared about making Miso comfortable. Anna and her husband seemed like genuine dog lovers, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Miso was in such kind hands. What I loved the most was how often she took Miso out for long walks—several times a day! Miso came back happy and well-exercised. I have only great things to say about Anna, and I would absolutely trust her to care for Miso again. Highly recommend!”
“Our 2 dogs stayed with Nally for a week while we were away. She offered to meet us prior to the booking, which I took her up on since I don’t like to book blindly and we had never met. Her communications were always prompt and she sent pictures while we were away. She was very flexible with coordinating pick up and drop off. Both of my guys came back happy and tired! They were happy to have some other dogs to play with too. I would not hesitate to re-book with her.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Yizi is Amazing and is very loving. We love her and Yizi is now part of Meeko’s Tribe. We are so grateful for the True Love and support we have received from Yizi, one of the best caregivers found on Rover. We can’t speak highly enough of Yizi and as long as she’ll have us we will always rebook. Thank you for all the photos and updates.”
“Sophia was so wonderful with our two pups while we were away on vacation. She constantly kept me updated with photos and they were staying active, which was something they really needed. So lucky to have found Sophia (and her family) to care for our dogs. I’d recommend Sophia 100% to anyone who is looking for a sitter who loves dogs and will take good care of your furry family members.”
“excellent dog sitter! Flexible and patient with my schedule and Dog needs. I didn't have to worry at all. My dog had a blast at the dog park and going for various walks and making friends. Responsive, kind, considerate, responsible, caring, highly recommend.”
“Alec and Damien were so kind! My cat loved being at their place. There was plenty of room and things to explore and he was very much well taken care of. 100% would recommend them!”
“Thank you for taking care of Doodle -she’s not the easiest dog to handle but thank you for being so incredibly responsible, always on time, and cares for her well-being. I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter!”
“Tae was available on short notice to keep my baby during a family trip. She sent tons of pics and updates which I very much appreciated and my baby seemed to very much enjoy herself during her stay with Tae! Would definitely recommend her taking care of anyone’s sweet fur babies! Her dog, Udon, was so cute and sweet as well!”
“Dana and Nia took great care of my pup - I appreciated how ready they were for drop off and pick up, and I liked the photos/videos they shared as well. I recommend booking with Dana!”
“Alix was absolutely amazing and I am so thankful I chose her to watch Clark for the weekend! She was so flexible and responsive. I booked her very last minute but she had no problem taking Clark in and watching him! She sent amazing updates throughout the weekend so I always knew how Clark was doing. She went above and beyond for Clark and when I picked him up he was the happiest pup ever! Will definitely be booking with Alix again!!!”
“Sunny gave us the best wedding gift of all: peace of mind while we were away for a week! We were unable to bring our beloved pup to our venue, but she was well loved during our time away. We received routine photo updates and messages, and could tell that Pep was right at home with Sunny and Eric. They are the best!!”
“Anastasia did an amazing job caring for our dog, Bella. She asked the right questions, communicated effectively and we could tell Bella had a great time :) Thank you again!”
“Rebecca provided the sweetest, most consistent updates while watching our dog Jib! She gave all of the exercise, attention, and love that we give her and we could not ask for a better sitter.”
“Pretzel had a great time at Alan's! We received lots of photo and video updates during his stay. Pickup and drop off were a breeze. Looking forward to our next booking with Alan for our next trip!”

Jamaica Plain dog parents share their Rover experiences
Catherine stepped in relatively last minute for a 2-week stay when another sitter canceled and she was great! She came to go over everything before we left, had good communication while we were away, left our home neat and clean, and most importantly our pup seemed to love her. We’re very grateful she stepped in!
With very little notice Philippa arranged her schedule in order to take my boy for an overnight for them to have some get to know you time before he stays with her for the first time for a whole week. Philippa was a great communicator, understanding and flexible. My pup had a great time with lots of walkies and play. He was exhausted when I picked him up. She sent lots of pics which I loved and appreciated. I highly recommend and am feeling very confident that my guy will be well cared for while I’m traveling.
Our pup had a great overnight stay with Lyv! She took to Lyv, her partner, and their very sweet dog right away at our initial meet & greet. Lyv sent pictures during the overnight and we felt great seeing that our pup was having a good time. Will definitely book with Lyv again!
Gina and her husband were awesome! We were a bit nervous about being away from Ghost for over a week, but they were incredibly responsive and communicative, regularly updating us on how Ghost was doing. It really put us at ease. Definitely recommend and would book with them again!
Blair was willing to meet up for a quick meet and greet prior and immediately I felt safe leaving my fur baby with her. She also had great communication through out booking, leading up to and during the stay. I’m glad to have found a reliable sitter and will definitely be booking with Blair again.
Thank you Lauren for spending the week with S’mores! You were truly wonderful to work with! Thank you for all your kindness and taking such wonderful care of S’mores so we could travel without any worries and he loved celebrating your birthday with you!! Till next time!
Melanie was extremely attentive and took great care of my dog. he was pretty anxious the first few days and she reached out to make sure he would have everything he needed in order to be comfortable. She also asked a lot of questions to make sure he would get the best care possible. She was a great communicator and sent me updates throughout the entirety of his stay. I would definitely recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a sitter.
Kathryn and Matthew were great! They do such a wonderful job with my pup, who can be a bit nervous in some environments. They provided the perfect amount of communication while I was away, so I always felt informed and that was my pup was in a good spot and well cared for.
Syniyah was a perfect fit for my dog while on vacation. I really appreciated you sending me daily updates of Leo. I was worried as it was my first experience using Rover. She picked him up, which I loved the convenience. He really loved spending time with you and I’m glad I could find someone so sweet with my dog. Thank you, definitely using Syniyah again!
