“It's always hard to leave your dog behind while on vacation but I instantly felt as ease as soon as I dropped my baby boi off. He had an amazing time and the daily photos and updates were much appreciated. And because he was so well taken care of, I could fully enjoy my trip. I highly recommend.”
“Arnav is great with communication from the beginning and throughout. He provided pictures and updates throughout the stay. His family has a nice fenced-in back yard. He and his family seem to love dogs and have enjoyed our pup. We have a pretty large play pen that our pup is comfortable sleeping in, and Arnav and his family were very flexible with the setup (we set the pen up in their dining room). Highly recommend him!”
“Fancy had a great time with Yulia & her kids! He came back happy, happy, and tired!! His coat was also very soft and fluffy, so he definitely got some good brush outs! Yulia and her kids are very sweet and I will definitely trust them to watch fancy for me again!”
“Yang was so great with our dog! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. She was also so wonderful to us, our flight was canceled and rescheduled for 2 days later. Luckily we were able to get out the following night but Yang was so accommodating and kind while we were in a state of worry. Lucky will be back in a few weeks for a second stay!”
“Paul has watched our pups many times over the past few months. He always keeps us in the loop about their days and we love receiving picture updates! They always seems happy (and tired!) when they come back home : )”
“Francois took care of our senior dog recently we would highly recommend him . He communicated with us every day with text & pictures. Our dog being on the elderly side is very set in his ways & Francois took all his special needs into account. We returned home to a happy and relaxed dog.”
“Betsy and her family were wonderful hosts for our pup. Betsy sent pics and videos, and Ronja seemed to have a fantastic time. Great communication, we felt safe leaving our dog in Betsy's care.”
“We boarded our dog and cat for a week. Likun is very experienced and attentive in taking care of both cats and dogs. We received daily updates and she also replied to our messages very promptly. Her Border Collie is so sweet and gentil. Our puppy was really happy she has a mature big sister and perfect playmate! The home is well equipped to take care of multiple pets and her backyard is perfect for dogs to play in.”
“Zelun and his wife took AMAZING care of my dog while I was gone for over a week! They sent pictures and videos, took him on a little day trip (pre approved) and definitely loved my pup as their own while I was away :)”
“Ahmed and family were great with Pippi-we received several pictures and updates throughout her stay. Pippi can be a little nervous but they went out of their way to make her feel comfortable. Ahmed and family will definitely be our go to sitter in the future.”
“Michelle was awesome! She would constantly give us updates while she watched our dog Ginger with pictures and texts. Ginger was so happy while she was in Michelle’s care. We are so grateful she was able to watch her and 10/10 would do again! Thank you again Michelle! :D”
“Lee and her entire family are incredible dog sitters and treated Darla like their own! She warmed up to them right away and loved the fully fenced in yard. Lee was very responsive and provided daily updates and photos of her time with them. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“Kimm and Kenn were very friendly and flexible as my schedule kept changing. They were very quick to reply! Also, the dogs looked like they were having fun and got plenty of outdoor time! My dogs have different energy levels and they seemed to balance it out wonderfully!”

“My nine month old puppy is a very social, high play drive dog, so it was a huge plus for me that Mike's retriever Blue was friendly, up for play, and nice to a pesky little puppy. Mike's communication was great, he definitely understood my 'leaving the puppy for the first time' jitters, and sent multiple photo updates.”
“Always happy to have Lola stay with Roland, Katerina, Julian and Felix. They send lots of pics and videos and she looks very happy to be with them. Makes it so much easier to go away knowing that she is in such good hands!”
“My pup Lyla had a fantastic stay with Yick-Hong and his wife for a week! All the pictures they sent me she looked so happy and relaxed. She even was sleeping on her back because she was so comfortable (vulnerable position for dogs). They took her on walks to new areas which she loves and even ran with her because they could tell she enjoyed it. They also provided detailed daily updates and were responsive to any messages I sent. I will definitely have Lyla stay with them again!”

We love to travel, so finding a sitter who truly loves having our dog was very important to us. Hope is exactly the person we were looking for! She loves our dog, Louie, and Louie adores her, too. Louie has a delicate digestive system (pancreatic issue) and needs medication with every meal. If he doesn't take his meds properly, he loses weight and gets sick very quickly. In the past, when we left Louie with other sitters, we would come back to find that he had lost weight and had stomach issues. This time with Hope, he was completely healthy and thriving! Also, usually when a dog gets stressed, they chug water as soon as their owners return. Louie didn't do that at all this time—he was super relaxed and actually seemed to miss Hope! We will definitely bring Louie to visit Hope again and look forward to booking her for our next trip. Thank you so much, Hope, we deeply appreciate your wonderful care for Louie!
Michiko & Cliff were wonderful sitters for our 10-year-old mini Aussie. I was a bit nervous about boarding him with someone new for over a week, but they were professional and dependable from the start, which put my mind at ease. Every morning we received photos and updates on how he was doing, and Michiko even made him a special doggie "cake" for his birthday. Bailey was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend!
Jingjing was very thoughtful and attentive when our dog Flo was staying with her. Flo was very happy to be there, and eating very fast, and Jingjing sent us many updates about this! We found a good solution together! Jingjing also sent us many great photos of Flo and her new friends!
Arnav did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs! This was about the third time in his care over the last year or so. He is very responsive to drop off and pick up communications and sent daily pictures of our girls who looked very comfortable and happy. One of our dogs is a senior dog so we were glad he took especially good care of her. We will definitely be asking him to watch our dogs again the next time we have the opportunity!
Ms. King is a very trustworthy and caring sitter! She took care of our senior Boston Terrier for six days and sent us lots of photos every day. Our dog isn’t always super friendly with other dogs, so I was a little worried about how she would do, but her Golden Retrieve, Gabe, was very calm and gentle, and they did great together! We would definitely love to have Ms. King take care of her again!
Aya was an amazing sitter. She communicated with me the whole time and I didnt have to ask for pictures because she already sent them! She was very responsive and understanding. I will be going back. Bluey loved her. Im very grateful she was able to watch her. Thank you Aya!
For Rover: Dave and Jess were exceptionally kind, thoughtful and professional, while caring for our 17 year-old dog, they even sang happy birthday to him when he turned 17! They noticed that he was stressed in missing us, which then turned into a UTI, which they’ve experienced, but we have not, I know in 17 years! So they contacted us and brought him to a 24 er which they had been to before and arranged for us to talk to them on the phone while we were on the other side of the country traveling. It all worked out great. We then picked up our beloved dog, Ferris and brought him home and he was no longer stressed, but still on the meds that Dave and Jess had started giving him. We cannot say enough, good things about their care and would definitely use them again.
Anne was absolutely wonderful with Toto! She took amazing care of her and kept me updated with photos and videos throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s very caring and attentive and Toto was so happy and relaxed with her! I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving sitter.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Lexington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lexington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lexington.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lexington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
