“Tae took just a great care of Archie and it was very obvious that he had such a good time playing with Tae and her lovely Goldendoodle. He was also able to relax with the comfy bed that Tae provided. Will definitely ask for Tae’s help again in future!”


About: At Pooch Hotel, our goal is to provide a happy, healthy, and safe environment for your pet when they're away from home. We keep the environment as low stress as possible and follow a regular schedule. If a health concern should arise, we have relationships with several local veterinary clinics and emergency hospitals. Depending on the situation, pets will be first brought to their primary veterinarian for treatment. We will always contact the owner in the case of a medical problem requiring veterinary care.

“Emma was really great! She always sent me updates on how it was going and was flexible about timing with my work schedule. My dog is super shy but she warmed up to Emma quickly :)”


“Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.”


“Emma was great with our 12 year old cockapoo. She was communicative, on time, and sent lots of pictures. Quincy loved his time with her and we'll be using her again!”

“Anh is absolutely amazing!! Our dogs have a lot of anxiety issues and codependency, so we were nervous about their first time staying with a sitter- but they loved going to Anh’s! She did an amazing job with them, sent adorable pics of them cuddling up with her and going for long walks, and it helped put our minds at ease to know they were so well cared for and comfortable with her! Anh is so sweet and her passion is evident. We will definitely be reaching out next time we’re in the area!”


About: At Crate Escape, safety is our top priority. We maintain a secure, clean, and well-supervised environment where every dog is monitored by experienced staff. All dogs undergo a temperament trial before joining group play to ensure compatibility and minimize stress. Playgroups are carefully matched by size, temperament, and energy level, with continuous supervision to prevent overstimulation or conflict. Our facilities are equipped with secure fencing, climate control, and sanitized daily using pet-safe disinfectants. We also follow strict vaccination requirements and emergency protocols to ensure every dog in our care is safe, healthy, and happy.

“Natalia was wonderful with my young puppy. She watched her for a very long day and was able to accommodate a very early drop off which I greatly appreciated! She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day.”


“Niusha was great with Mospy! Mopsy is still really young and has a ton of puppy energy, but she was able to entertain her the whole time! Mopsy was pooped by the time she got home. She even set up a little doggie play date for Mopsy since she loves playing with other dogs. Would definitely book again.”


“Zoe is wonderful with my puppy! He can be a handful at times, but she’s so attentive to his needs, like when he’s getting hot or not in the mood for a long walk. I love the pictures she sends and it’s clear he’s always having a blast, which puts me at ease. Highly recommend!”


“Tiffany took amazing care of our senior chihuahua Monki. Monki can be shy and nervous with new people but he loved Tiffany immediately. She made sure to understand Monki’s needs at drop off and remained very communicative throughout their time together. We really appreciated all the updates and pictures! We would recommend Tiffany!”

“Nick and his wife were super kind and caring. Made for a very comfortable feeling when leaving my pup. They have 2 gorgeous, friendly dogs that I'm sure are best friends to any dog they watch.”


“Erin was absolutely amazing with Milo! I felt confident leaving my puppy with her because I knew he was in good hands. Such a great experience for my first time booking on Rover!”


“Alan took excellent care of my young dog who is something of an escape artist. Pilot enjoyed his time with Alan and I enjoyed knowing that Pilot was happy and safe.”


“Isabel did a great job caring for my dog on two separate days. She took Molly for walks right after we arrived to help ease Molly's anxiety and she was very responsive to me too.”


About: Hi, my name is Richard. I grew up taking care of my family’s pets, from playful puppies to older dogs who needed extra patience and care. Being around animals has always been second nature to me, and I’ve carried that same love and responsibility into adulthood. I currently work from home in tech, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I believe each animal deserves their own personal care and routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. With me, your pet will always feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible career in tech that allows me to work from home full time. This means I’m always around to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left waiting for care. I build my schedule around making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I will care for your pet like it is my own. Whether it is in my home or yours I will ensure that they are comfortable, well loved, fed and played with.

“Seung was amazing with my puppy!! I wanted to find a sitter that would be good with my larger dog who's in a cute but very teenager phase and Seung was amazing with her!! She was super accommodating and was great at playing with and taking my puppy on walks. Would definitely recommend her for any sitting or boarding needs!!”


“Mariah did great watching our puppy Frankie! This was our first time leaving him with someone, and she sent video and photo updates to keep me at ease. She also picked him up which was so helpful. Would definitely have Mariah watch Frankie again!”


“Julia was super accommodating and flexible with pickup and drop off times. I received plenty of updates through the work day ! Highly recommend and would book again!”

“I picked my French bulldog up from Pooch hotel this evening after boarding him for a week. This was his 4th time boarding. Each time we have always had positive experiences. I love being able to watch him playing throughout the day. I hate leaving him for long periods but even after a week he looks good and acting totally normal. Would definitely recommend!”

Crate Escape - CharlestownLocal facility
“Crate Escape is amazing! I have three dogs who all attend and absolutely love it. My dog Skye goes to the High Spirited Hounds program and has a blast. Skye is an amazing dog who has some behavioral concerns so regular day care wasn’t a good fit for her. I’m so grateful that High Spirited Hounds is a perfect fit. She is able to go, get enrichment and training. She comes home tired at the end of the day, happy, and with better manners. I couldn’t be happier with the program. My other two dogs Pilot and Twix go to Crate Escape’s daycare and also absolutely love it! They have so much fun and are so excited to go in the morning. It’s so clear that the staff truly care about Pilot, Twix, and Skye, and keep them safe and happy during the day. I couldn’t be more grateful for Crate Escape and how much my dogs love it there, and I would recommend Crate Escape highly to anyone looking for a program for their dog.”

Crate Escape - BelmontLocal facility
“Basyl joined Crate Escape at 2 years old. She was a covid puppy in MI and moved around with us until we arrived back in Boston. By then, any of her early training had gone out the window. Crate Escape did wonders for Basyl with training support, the introduction of the structured high spirited hounds program, and the in-house grooming -- there's not much more I could ask for. 10/10 would recommend!”

Jamaica Plain dog parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t be happier with Ed and Shyana and the care they provided our adolescent pup Maple. They loved on her as if she were their own and sent us lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely be using them again. —Maple loved her time there so much she was actually sad to leave.

Kathryn took great care of my dog Luke on a recent visit. Luke responded positively to her immediately- he knows a good dog person when he meets one. He seemed happy, content and tired when I picked him up- signs of a good visit. I would definitely recommend Kathryn to anyone in need of a sitter.

Allie was so great with our 13 year old cockapoo when he joined her for doggie daycare! She did a meet and greet with us, kept us super informed throughout the day with updates and pictures, and we could tell she really enjoyed hanging with him. He came home exhausted in the best possible way! We've already booked Allie again and she'll be on our regular rotation for daycare for our boy!
Anh is absolutely amazing!! Our dogs have a lot of anxiety issues and codependency, so we were nervous about their first time staying with a sitter- but they loved going to Anh’s! She did an amazing job with them, sent adorable pics of them cuddling up with her and going for long walks, and it helped put our minds at ease to know they were so well cared for and comfortable with her! Anh is so sweet and her passion is evident. We will definitely be reaching out next time we’re in the area!

Emma did a great job caring for our two pups at our place for two half days. She was professional, communicative, and sent thoughtful photo updates. We appreciated the intro meeting and felt comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Looking forward to working with her again!

We could not have asked for a better dog sitter than Isabel. Our pup has separation anxiety and is reactive to other dogs. Isabel clearly has had experience handling dogs with special needs and was undaunted by the challenges presented. Our pup loved her from their first greeting and was super calm when we picked her up hours later. Isabel was also very accommodating with our questions and professional in all her interactions with us. Beyond that, she and her husband are affable and have a good sense of humor. We are looking forward to our next stay already!

Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.

Allie was very quick to respond to a last minute Fourth of July Day boarding. She was very easy to communicate with and very friendly. This is my first time leaving my dog with someone. I was happy to get updates on her walk. She was great and would definitely book again!
