“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!!!”
“Anna is absolutely our dream sitter for our very playful and energetic border collie, Atlas. She and her husband gave Atlas so much love and attention everyday. Anna voluntarily sent us many lovely photos and videos of our pup as well as detailed updates daily. They loved Atlas as if she was their own, and we could tell how happy Atlas was staying with them. We felt at ease every day knowing that Atlas was under the care of such a wonderful and caring couple. We believe Atlas was on her own vacation! Thank you again. Atlas cannot wait to see them again. 😄”
“Yizi responded quickly when I was looking for a last minute Rover. Her communication was top notch from start to finish. She truly cared about my dog, Chunk, and took excellent care of him. She sent many photos and videos, which helped me feel at ease being away for so long. I would recommend Yizi to anyone looking for a Rover, unless it’s when Chunk needs another visit!”
“Alyson was amaze balls. I got daily updates she alerted me to anything she deemed out of the ordinary with Tuna. He loves Alyson and her Daughter! Would recommend wholeheartedly”
“Dohwee did such a great job! Plenty of exercise, plenty of updates, plenty of belly rubs! Indie was so well cared for she almost didn't want to come home!! Thank you SO MUCH!!”
“Tyler and his gf are really responsible and nice. Meimei and Jackson had a really good time. I think they miss Tyler and his gf already. We will definitely chose Tyler again!!”
“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!”
“Alan and Ying took care of our dog like their own. From drop off to pickup everything was smooth and easy to communicate. We were updated daily with messages, photos and videos. We cannot be more then happy and will definitely leave our dog with them again.”

“I found Anthony with just a few days before leaving for Christmas Holiday! He responded within a few minutes, which I really appreciate. He took really good care of my Cuervo and even put up with all his "accidents" with love! What I liked the most about Anthony is that I could see he was really loving being with Cuervo; it's not just a job but he loves doing it and that gave me great confidence. You can tell Anthony loooves animals”

“Steven was great with our dog. We boarded her with him for a long weekend She is a nervous girl and often barks at new people. When I dropped her off he took her leash and her treats and immediately got her to sit and calm down. During her stay with Steven he sent us photos, which I appreciate. When I picked her up she was in good spirits and wagging her tail which is always a good sign. We will definitely be using Steven's services again.”

Jamaica Plain dog parents share their Rover experiences
Zekai was a fantastic sitter for our Daisy. He and his wife asked thorough questions before drop off to make sure they knew how to make her comfortable and keep her routine. They were very communicative, sending pictures and texts daily with status updates. They have a very sweet Australian Shepherd pup who is now our dogs best friend! We felt so grateful to have our dog cared for with such love while we were out of town. We would recommend Zekai to everyone. 10/10 star review!!
Rusty adored Katherine and I wouldn't hesitate to have her watch him again! I appreciated Katherine’s daily updates as well. Highly recommend!
Excellent. My kobie seems very fond of her so I have nothing but good things to say. Would recommend 👌
Gil and Yerina were wonderful with our puppy Stella! They made her feel at home in their place and were very attentive to all her needs, especially since she’s had some health issues recently requiring medication. They are communicative and send regular updates. Would recommend :)
Nalix is amazing with our dog Charcoal, who is usually very sensitive and has separation anxiety. We trust her completely and Nalix sends regular photos and videos in which Charcoal is having the best time. Nalix is always communicative and willing to be flexible if we are running late from delayed flights or traffic. We recommend Nalix wholeheartedly!
Naomi went above and beyond and took great care of our somewhat needy Yorkie. I would definitely use her again.
Carter took great care of my dog! He also was kind enough to come to my house to meet her the weekend before boarding, which I really appreciated. He clearly really loves dogs and I had total confidence in Margeaux being well taken care of while I was gone. Also had a very smooth drop off and pickup!
Emma was great—fast with response, shared how Bori was doing at the end of each day, simply made me hands-off from worrying about him. It’s so sweet of her that she left me a sweet card with a cute Polaroid photo of Bori as a souvenir!
Rashelys was an Amazing, Loving, Caring pet sitter for my Chihuahua Bailey, she kept in contact daily thru photos and videos, if I text she would reply immediately, Bailey was well taken care of and I could see thru photos and videos that she was comfortable and happy in her home😊 I will surely re-book with Rashelys, she will be my go to pet sitter anytime I will need care in the future , Rashelys is very Loving, Educated, Professional person and sitter, experienced in administrating medication to my Bailey. Once again Thank You Rashelys for your Great work, I truly appreciate it 😊❤️
Emma was great!!! We have an anxious dog that is not easy to take care of, and Emma handled it very well. She was attentive to our dog's needs and communicated with us as needed. We hope we can count on her in the future when we go away!!!
Arcadia took great care of Barkley while we took in a game at Fenway Park. Great communication and seemless dropoff and pickup.
Elena was AMAZING! She kept me up to date on Pippas adventures and even gave her a bath and took her to get her favorite, a pup cup! From the get go I felt very comfortable leaving pips with Elena and would absolutely recommend her to anyone that is looking for a Rover in the Boston area. Will absolutely use her over and over again!
She is a fantastic lady to take care of my little dog. I strongly recommend her. I had one week vacation and I left my dog with her and I know my dog was happy.
This was our first time boarding Archie with Sunisa and her husband and we do not have enough kind things to say about them. They started by meeting Archie prior to his stay so he would feel more comfortable. The day we left him he recognized them right away. We received frequent updates, including photos which showed him having a blast. They were also very thorough with his daily care routine, assuring he kept to his schedule. Upon our return they provided us with a beautiful framed photo of our little guy. We will absolutely be using them in the future. Characteristics: kind, reliable, thorough, knowledgeable in dog care and health.
Mariah did a great job taking care of our dog, Peppa, this past weekend. Mariah made Peppa comfortable and took her on walks and other outings. Mariah was a great communicator and kept us updated with notes and photos. We liked Mariah so much that we have already booked her for our next trip.
Anh and bubbles were so amazing with Millie! The dogs got along really well and Anh was super comunicative and gave Millie a lot of attention. We will definitely be contacting Anh again.
Extraordinarily professional. Lots and lots of pictures and lots and lots of walks. Our dogs seemed very happy with them and we were too!
Cara did an excellent job taking care of our Ruby. Ruby is typically a little anxious but quickly warmed up to Cara! She kept me updated daily and was very flexible. She sent over videos and photos.
We were happy to have Winn's help taking care of our dog while we moved into our new condo. We needed a couple of days to get organized without having the dog underfoot, and he did great staying with Winn. Winn responds to messages immediately and was accommodating, keeping Jack for a few extra hours than originally scheduled.
Our dog sitter backed out at the last minute so I went on Rover just two days before our trip. I read the reviews about Ruya and can attest that they're all accurate. Ruya was fantastic! She responded immediately Once I met her I felt great leaving our dog with them. She was so kind, treated our dog well and sent pictures each day. Our dog didn't want to come home! Will be certain to use Ruya again.
