“Kayla was fantastic! She took such great care of my dog Percy. He got lots of exercise and attention, and he enjoyed playing with her very sweet dogs. Kayla kept me updated on how he was doing, including sending amazing photos of his adventures! I would highly recommend her!”

“Kwangwoo was fantastic with Bekele! He was very communicative, kind, and took good care of Bekele. Thank you, Kwangwoo! We will reach out again soon. :)”

“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!”

“Steven took great care of our dog Graham for a three day stay. He sent us photos and updates throughout the stay and was very easy to communicate with.”

“Pluto had an amazing time with Ruya and Aybark! I was nervous to leave him in boarding as he has separation anxiety, but they took such good care of him and made him feel at ease. It was also very easy to keep in touch and they sent pictures of him throughout his stay. Overall, a great experience!”

“Melanie was an incredible dog sitter! They were extremely conscientious and my dog was clearly thrilled to have their company. They checked in about anything unusual and sent lots of super cute photos and videos. They even stepped in to help out when we had an unexpected problem with our fridge, and saved us from potential damage to our property! Mel is is a delight and your pet will think so too!”

“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”

“Tae was great with my puppy for doggy daycare! She was very responsive when working through scheduling and accommodating and communicative when watching my puppy. I received multiple check ins and photos throughout the day letting me know how she was doing and she asked questions about certain habits to make sure everything was normal behavior. Her dog Udon was so sweet and chill around my puppy too which was great for socialization. Would absolutely recommend to book with her!”

“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!”

“Jess was amazing with Coco! Made me feel super comfortable before dropping her off, was accommodating to Coco’s nuances, and provided updates throughout her stay! Coco took to Jess and her family immediately, and loved playing with the other dogs! Highly recommend :)”

“Emily was an amazing host for our 4 year old Goldendoodle Buckbeak during our long weekend trip. Emily made sure Buckbeak felt at home and comfortable at her place and Buckbeak got along so well with her cutest little Luna. Emily was also very responsive and provided regular daily updates which was really helpful. We also really appreciated Emily's flexibility with our last minute change in schedule. Thanks so much for being an awesome host, Emily!”

“Kingsley loves visiting with Karina. We are so impressed with her that we booked two weekends in a row! She has become our go-to sitter whenever our travel plans prohibit us from taking King with us.”

“Thank you so much again . Fantastic host . My little friend was super happy in his new home for 5 days . I wi definitely used them again and recommended everyone🐶”

“Lauren was amazing! She was so good with my dog Jango. We did a meet and create and she was very accommodating to Jango’s needs and was super responsive. While I was away, she sent me great updates on him and communicated whenever she had any questions. Would absolutely book with her again!! Highly recommend Lauren!”

“Suni and her partner were amazing caretakers to our doggo, Lainey, while we were out of town! Suni always responded quickly to messages and provided daily updates on Lainey. In all the pics, Lainey was having the best time - whether that was napping or going on her many walks. Lainey was in loving and very capable hands. We will definitely use Suni in the future! Thanks so much!”

“Erin was really great! It’s always hard leaving your pet with someone, especially for a longer trip like ours was and Erin made it so easy. She sent us multiple photos and videos everyday and was great with communication. The dogs both seemed so happy throughout the entire stay. I feel Erin really does care about the pets she watches, and that means a lot!”

“Loren is a wonderful dog care giver. It is obvious that she loves Rosie and that Rosie loves her. She followed our routine for Rosie diligently. We have complete confidence in her and would use her again. We are sure that Rosie can't wait for her next sleepover at Loren's house.”

“Alyson was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates while watching my cat and it was clear he was having a great time. She asked questions and was super responsive - would definitely recommend booking with her and I will book again!”

Jamaica Plain dog parents share their Rover experiences
Hanna was so understanding and sweet. There were several hiccups on my end that caused me to need her to watch Tilly an additional night and she was very accommodating. She sent tons of photos and videos, more than any sitter I’ve ever used before, and it looks like Tilly had a fantastic time! I was an anxious mess from the very beginning but Hanna eased my worries with her calm and kind responses to all my concerns. We will definitely be back!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! We had the pleasure of leaving Max for the very first time in the care of Hyesoo , and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we booked with Hyesoo she kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease while we were away. Max came back happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. We’ll definitely be using Hyesoo again in the future, and we highly recommend Hyesoo to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!

Phillipa is an amazing dogsitter! She took Kona on so many long walks and sent tons of pics daily. Kona is a bit shy at first and sometimes nips at strangers out of distrust but Phillipa handled her with so much love and care. I can tell Kona trusted her and enjoyed being in her home. Would love to book with her again!
