“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”

“Heather was a great sitter for our dog Sasha. She was very accommodating for our drop off and pick up and felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with her for a long weekend. We would love to use Heather again in the future.”
“Daisy and Gunnar love spending time with Jacqueline and her daughter. This is our 4th stay (both short and long boardings) and will gladly continue using in the future and would recommend to anybody!”

“Jen and her family took good care of Leia. She was healthy, happy, and appeared well when I picked her up after her four day stay. I will ask her to watch Leia again in the future!”

“Lingwen was AMAZING! She made Nico feel super comfortable at her home and welcomed. Lingwen sent updates and pictures of Nico thought out the stay which we loved. Thank you much again for caring for Nico! If you’re looking for a sitter, do not hesitate to book her. She’s the best :)”

“Stacy was amazing! She communicated very well and was great with our lab! She has a big back yard and welcomed our dog into her home with open arms. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Stacy! 10/10 service.”


“We couldn’t be happier with the care Matt and Patty provided for our Golden Retriever during the 10 nights we were out of the country. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. We were able to visit their home beforehand, and they have a wonderful setup, including a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for him to play. Throughout our trip, Matt and Patty sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. They took him on daily walks around the neighborhood, gave him lots of attention, and it was very clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What really stood out to us was how they handled a day when he wasn’t feeling well and developed some stomach issues. Matt immediately contacted us, proactively made an appointment with the vet, and made sure we were comfortable with him taking our dog in to be seen. Afterward, Matt and Patty followed the vet’s recommendations closely and even cooked rice and beef for his meals for several days while his stomach recovered. They truly cared for him as if he were their own. When we returned, we came home to a very happy puppy, and we could tell he had been loved and well cared for the entire time. We are so excited to have found Matt and Patty. Finding people you can completely trust with your dog while you’re away is incredibly important, and we feel very fortunate to have found such reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitters. We would absolutely recommend them and will not hesitate to have them care for our dog again!”

“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”

“My dog Simba spent his Thanksgiving with Gabriel. He is a male Golden Retriever, two and half years old. He needs a lot of exercise. He never lived anywhere before. I was very worried before leaving Simba with Gabriel. But he had a wonderful experience. He played a lot with other dogs, came home calm and relaxed. Gabriel has a good understanding of dogs and very confident. I am definitely coming back again.”

“Dawn and her family were awesome! I needed to find someone to watch Sammy. They accepted him as their own and gave me updates on a daily basis. She is very communicative and I felt safe leaving Sammy with Dawn and her family. Thank you so much for everything! ❤️”


“Misael has been my to go sitter for over a year now. My pet already knows his place and gets excited every time we take her. He does know dogs and takes good care of them. Every time I leave my pup with him I get pictures and movies of her. Communication with him is excellent and keeps you aware of everything. He answers quickly to any questions you may have. Highly recommend him. I have a 100 lbs pup and she is always taken care e of when I’m away.”


“Olivia was absolutely incredible, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Our situation was a little unusual because my cats and I have been displaced from our home due to a mold issue, and one of my boys, Jack, had already been experiencing health symptoms. I was also leaving for a weekend, so this was my first time ever dropping my cats off with a sitter instead of having someone stay in my home. Needless to say, I was pretty anxious. From the very first meet-and-greet, Olivia immediately put me at ease. Her background as a veterinary technician was reassuring, but what truly stood out was how genuinely kind, compassionate, and attentive she is. She took the time to get to know each of my cats' unique personalities, routines, and little quirks. Both of my boys warmed up to her right away, which is saying a lot—especially Jack, who struggles with anxiety. While I was away, Olivia sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious they weren't just being cared for—they were genuinely loved. Seeing them so relaxed and comfortable made an incredibly stressful time so much easier. Olivia cared not only for my cats but also for me. She understood the emotional weight of everything we were going through and showed so much compassion throughout the entire experience. My boys came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, communicative, and truly treats your pets like family, Olivia is exceptional. I would trust her with Jack and Gus again in a heartbeat, and I'm so grateful we found her.”

“This was Tick's first stay with Briana. She was wonderful with him and sent numerous pictures. Tick came home happy. I needed to extend his stay beyond the initial booking and she was very accommodating.”

“Excellent sitter! Marcia sent daily updates as well as photos and videos of Adeline on hikes with her family. Marcia came highly recommended by a friend and 10/10 would trust my Adi in her care again.”


“Rafael took amazing care of our dog, Zelda. She is a very shy and fearful dog, and this was her first time staying with a dog sitter. He was incredibly patient with her and helped her build trust and feel safe during her stay. He also helped her become more comfortable around other dogs, which meant a lot to us. Rafael was always quick to respond, speaks both English and Spanish, and kept us updated with beautiful photos throughout Zelda's stay. He was kind, enthusiastic, respectful, and very understanding. What we appreciated the most was that he accepted our last-minute booking, which helped us so much. We are extremely happy with the care Zelda received and will definitely book with Rafael again for both boarding and daycare. We highly recommend him!”

“Sarah and Ben were great! Very welcoming and felt comfortable immediately. Communication while I was away was detailed and the pics were amazing! Saiije will be back with them again”


“Sarah made sure Watson enjoyed his stay and even made new friends. He was happy to see me at the end but not frantic--a sign that he felt comfortable there. I was grateful to be able to relax on my trip knowing he was in good hands with a caring family. Would definitely leave him there again!”

“Wonderful first experience leaving our puppy in someone else's care. She was kept active and well attended to, and I loved getting regular updates throughout the stay. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m an WFH educator with a lifelong love for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. Throughout my adult life, I’ve rescued four dogs, and caring for animals has always been something very close to my heart. My background in education has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, consistency, and understanding that every individual has their own personality and needs. I bring that same approach to caring for animals, whether it’s going for a walk, providing companionship, or making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same care and affection I give my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! ❤️ *************** BOARDING: I have two dogs of my own, but your pet’s comfort and safety will always be my priority. Any introductions or interactions will be carefully supervised and will only occur with your explicit permission. If you prefer no interaction, my dogs will be kept in a separate area of my comfortable home, allowing your furry family member to relax, feel secure, and receive plenty of individual love and attention without the stress of other dogs. work from home full-time with a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets frequent bathroom breaks, play time, and constant supervision throughout the day to ensure they stay happy and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and 2 large crates if needed. I always keep pets supervised, double-check secure doors/gates, and maintain a calm, clean environment tailored to each pet's routines and comfort.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Linwood
Dobbs is family to me, so finding someone I trust isn't easy. Melissa exceeded every expectation. From the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up, she kept me updated with photos and messages that showed him happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. Seeing him playing, relaxing, and making new friends made it clear he wasn't just being watched—he was being cared for and loved. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Melissa, for treating my boy like one of your own. We'll definitely be back.

Our dogs had the best time with Melissa! They were well taken care of and made a few new friends. Melissa was extremely accommodating to our requests for drop off and pickup changes and even offered to meet us closer when our flight got delayed. We would absolutely rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Linwood home-away-from-home, 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 Linwood.
<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 Linwood 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 , 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 .
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.
