“Jo & Adam were great with Odessa. She had a wonderful time, and came home tuckered out and content. They communicated often & quickly, and are exceedingly nice and accommodating!”
About: I am a medical student who loves pets! I grew up with dogs in my home and always have one around me if I can help it. Experience boarding and walking dogs of all ages and sizes. Great at giving necessary medications and caring for any needs that arise. I’ve walked for Wag previously. I’m currently out of school for the summer so I’ll be able to fit in dog walks and give lots of love and attention! We have a big backyard so potty breaks will happen often. The weekends almost always work unless I’m out of town. I have a fenced yard. Currently no other pets in the home, but furniture is dog friendly. I’ve raised dogs for 14 years of my life and regularly pet sit for friends and coworkers. From the miniature breeds to the breeds that weigh hundreds of pounds, I’m comfortable with them all.
“Greta was very kind, patient, communicative and accommodating! Lots of updates and pics throughout my dogs stay. Plenty of walks and park time. He seemed genuinely happy to be there!”
“Shana was great with our dog Basil! She watched her just overnight but Basil definitely looks like she got plenty of walks, attention, and couch time! Will definitely keep Shana in mind for future sits!”
“We had a great experience with Elizabeth and Rodrigo! There was daily communication as well as photo updates — our dog looked right at home! We had total peace of mind while we were away. Murphy already can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was so wonderful all around -easy to communicate with, flexible, and clearly took such good care of my dog. Got photo updates through my dog's stay, it was obvious she loved staying with Sarah and her family!”
“Jason is the absolute best!!! He and his partner took such great care of our pups and were communicating constantly. They treated our kids like their own and took them for walks and runs all the time. They sent many pictures every day and kept us updated on how they were doing. Would 100% recommend!!”
“Paula was amazing. She was so warm and welcoming to us and to Blondie. She planned activities for each day she had Blondie and kept her active. Her home was welcoming and Blondie really seemed to enjoy herself. She sent updates regularly and pictures which were wonderful to receive. We will use her services again, for sure.”
“Big thanks to Hyesoo and her family to take very good care of Doudou again. She always did amazing job! Sent a lot of updates. My dog has very good time with her and family 🥰 highly recommend her to take care of your child 🥰”
“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”
“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!”

“Erin took great care of my dog Nala! I left Nala in her care for nearly 3 weeks and she sent me several captioned pictures every day. It was clear that she put a lot of effort into making Nala feel comfortable and ensuring she had lots of fun during her stay. I would 100% recommend and book again!”
“Victoria is the absolute best!!! Lambo boarded with her for 3 nights last month while I went away. She kept me up to date with tons of pictures. Victoria was also super flexible with pick up and drop off which helped a lot since I was basing it around my flights. Lambo even got a nice bath before he came home. I know he had a great time and felt safe with her, he barely wanted ready to leave her at pick up. Lol. That’s always a good sign. Thanks again Victoria!”

Gustavo was absolutely perfect to watch my 9 month old puppy. He was intentional, caring, and had great communication. He took care of Remi under a last minute request and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Definitely recommend and will re-book when I can!
Mehlani and her husband took wonderful care of my dog, TBD, for almost two weeks while I was on vacation. From the beginning, Mehlani was very flexible and accommodating. We met beforehand, and I could immediately tell that she was warm and caring and that TBD would be in great hands. While I was away, she sent regular updates and photos of their activities. When my husband’s flight was delayed and he couldn’t pick TBD up as planned, Mehlani graciously adjusted the pickup time. I was able to fully relax during my vacation knowing that TBD was so well cared for. I will definitely contact Mehlani again the next time we travel!
Daria and her dog Kova was incredibly kind to my little puppy Totori Daria is really confident dog care taker and she gave lots of love and attention to Totori Also Her dog Kova, makes Totori more comfortable stay with them I always laughed when I see pictures of them playing together It is Always delighted to read Daria’s daily reports about my puppy and it also helps me a lot
Our pup had a great stay and came home happy. Dana was easy to communicate with and was happy to have a meet and greet prior to boarding. Our pup can be hesitant with other dogs and Dana was able to facilitate her mixing with the other dogs without issue. We would recommend Dana to friends.
Laura was so wonderful with my kitty! I was worried because he'd never stayed with a stranger before but it only took him a day or two to warm up and then he looked like he felt right at home! He had a somewhat extended stay (2 weeks) and Laura took such good care of him, I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. He was so happy to hang out with her!
Andreas took great care of Iggy! He was very flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent regular pictures and communication. He made sure Iggy got lots of walks and playtime, and it was clear from the pictures that Iggy was comfortable while were gone. Thank you!

There are 4,266 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Jamaica Plain. About 90% of Jamaica Plain sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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 pet, 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
