About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was in 5th grade. Whether I went to the owners house or they came to mine, I treated them with love and kindness. I’ve worked with little, medium, and big dogs, and they have been long term clients! People actually call me the dog whisperer! I work from home every day so i will be home with your pups! they can relax with me around the house or go out with me for errands or anything else! I treat them with love and plenty of play time! Dogs are allowed on our beds and furniture, so they will get lots of cuddles! I allow them to explore the house so they can get comfortable in the new environment and let them warm up to me so they are not scared. I have a big park just right across from me, I am in a very walkable neighborhood, so they will get great walks. I also have a big back yard they can lounge around!

“Jamie was great! Was flexible with an early pickup, communicated quickly, and took good care of our pup. Benji immediately made himself at home and seemed sad to go, he enjoyed his time with Jamie and Sammie.”
“As a new dog mom I was hesitant to leave my puppy with a sitter. But I am happy to say that Atticia made me feel very comfortable. She responded to messages in a timely manner and kept me informed with pictures and videos throughout his stay. I will definitely use her again.”
“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!”

“Teddy lover staying with Lauren for day care! I will definitely be using her again on a regular basis for my long shifts.

I love that she is close to a park so Teddy can walk around some green space and not always on the busy hot city sidewalks. Thanks Lauren!”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jamaica Plain
Hannah has sat several times for my dog now, and as a frequent Rover pet parent, I can say she is one of the very best sitters I have had in the Boston area. She is 100% reliable, friendly, and clearly loves spending time outside with my dog. As a bonus there is a new, great dog park around the corner from where she lives.
I just picked my girl up from Michelle. I can tell from both Emmie’s mood and her energy level when I got her what a great week she had with Michelle and her son. I’m beyond grateful given we are just relocating to the area to find someone I can trust with my girl. Thank you for taking such good care of Emmie.
I reached out to William at the last minute the night before I needed care in a pinch. He was responsive and asked thoughtful questions as we made our plans, and made drop off and pickup easy. More importantly, he shared wonderful updates throughout the day on how well my dog was doing, and I think his demeanor and confidence with my sometimes anxious and barky dog put him at ease so that he had a wonderful day socializing with other dogs. I would absolutely book with William again!
Wendy was overwhelmingly gracious with me when I made a major error using the app to schedule. Really above and beyond both in accommodating me AND not making me feel bad at all. And given that my dog didn’t want to leave her to get back in the car with me at the end of the visit, she clearly did an incredible job caring for him. ✨💖 I know I got lots of regular photos and videos but seeing him look back longing at her says the most.
Thank you Gina for taking care of Bruce while we were have having 2 hours of “we” time while visiting the city. We highly recommend Gina to anyone that is looking for someone to take care of their senior dog. Our dog Bruce will definitely go back next time when we visit Boston again!
This was our first shot with Rover, and we came in with a lot of questions and anxieties. We knew we made the right call when our 5-month old golden became comfortable with Maria at first sight. Maria was very warm, sent regular updates on our puppy, and came with a lot of good experience and tips - having had a golden retriever herself while growing up. We’re definitely going to repeat very soon. Thank you, Maria!! 🥰🐶
Alan and Ying were amazing!!! We were so grateful for their flexibility as we figured out our schedule for when we needed to drop Pear off and even more grateful for the incredible care they took of Pear. They were communicative and kept us informed of what Pear was getting up to and how she was doing, and Pear absolutely loved her stay with them.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Jamaica Plain commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,996 sitters in Jamaica Plain, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
