“Our pup was happy in every picture & very excited but quickly calm when she got home, which to me says that she was happy to be home, but didn’t feel nervous at Aurora’s home! Aurora also was diligent to make sure our counter surfing, sneaky dog didn’t get human food during her stay. We will definitely book with Aurora again!”
“Victoria is awesome. I always get pictures of Bert while we are away so I know he's doing well, and he's always happy when we pick him up again. She even covered us when we forgot his bed this time. Our #1 sitter hands down”
“Elizabeth & Rodrigo always treat Gator as part of their family and I cannot express enough how much that helps my anxiety being away from him. I never worry about him knowing that he’s being loved & cared for! They always send plenty of updates and truly are the sweetest family. Gator & I are their biggest fans!!!”
“Rob took wonderful care of our dog! Always responded quickly and seems like she had a great time! Definitely tired her out! Would definitely recommend him to anyone, and will be using him again if we go away.”
“Chanel was amazing with my elderly dog, who is a kind of persnickety old lady. She sent pics regularly (including her very cute toddler son "helping" with a walk) and let me know everything was going well. She was patient and flexible with scheduling and made me feel completely at ease boarding my beloved pup with her. I would love to bring my dog back to stay with Chanel in the future!”
“Russell had a marvelous time with Zwany and Leandro. They were very communicative and provided a loving home for our pup while we were away. We will be repeat customers for sure!”
“Super responsive and communicative! It was my first time boarding Koi with a Rover sitter and Linda was very reassuring and bonded very quickly with Koi. I'd board Koi with her again! The only downside is that Koi came home smelling a little bit of cigarette smoke, but Koi did stay with Linda for a whole week and I know Linda only smokes outdoors.”
“Akhil was a fantastic caretaker for my dog, Sparkles. I received constant updates and pictures of him. He received plenty of attention and opportunities for walks and lounging around. Their dog was very friendly and was welcoming to mine.”
“Lori took such great care of our very energetic golden retriever. She shared daily updates and pictures and our girl had such a great time! we will happily be using her again!”
“Elliot and Jo were terrific with our 16 mo old Samoyed, who has a lot of energy and can be super anxious. When I picked up Casper, I could tell he felt at home with Elliot and Jo and that they had made him feel safe and loved. They care about the dogs they board, and I hope to leave Casper with them again in the future.”
“Geraldine was very easy to work with, I can tell that my dog really enjoyed his time with them and he was really cared for, which I truly appreciate. The only feedback is that I wish she would give more proactive updates, but I would definitely let her watch my dog again.”
“Rachel was great with our German shepherd/ Australian shepherd mix! She sent pictures multiple times a day with an update on how she was doing and followed any instructions I had given prior to dropping our dog off. She deeply cares for the dogs well being and does anything she can for their best interest! We highly recommend Rachel to watch your fur baby ?”
“John was a really wonderful host for our Cosette! I was particularly impressed with his attention to detail and proactive daily communications. Cosette is a senior dog and he was extra mindful of her wellbeing and capabilities. Thank you, John!”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Nola and Damian were amazing! They took us last minute for my two young high energy pups. Communication was prompt and professional. My boys came home happy and well cared for, and I would happily book with Nola & Damian again!”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Could not recommend Steven enough!! Sooty was well looked after during the Christmas period and she had a great time playing with Milo! Would definitely use again! Thanks again!”
“Yang was absolutely amazing watching Tormund. She went above and beyond what I expected from my first time using Rover. She's going to be the first person I go to for any future dog sitting needs.”

I couldn’t recommend Brandon more. I was away in Europe and felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. His communication was excellent from start to finish, and he sent me photos every day, which I really appreciated while being so far away. It was obvious that my dog was getting plenty of love, attention, and care the entire time. He honestly came back even more spoiled than when I left him, which says a lot. I’m very particular about who I trust with my dog, especially for an extended stay, and this was such a positive experience. He was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly treated my dog like his own. I would absolutely book with him again and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their pet.
This was Mochi's first time stayng with Maryah. I felt that she was definitely in good hands with her. We got daily pictures or videos of Mochi with her own dogs, Lilo and Stitch, and once a weeker, Luna. Super easy for us to get to her place. Would for sure use Maryah in the future.
Fernanda was absolutely phenomenal. This was my first time leaving Tuck (5 mnth mini-Aussie) overnight with a Rover sitter, so I was a little nervous. Fernanda put me at ease - she took time to have a thoughtful meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure it was a good fit, and she was incredibly warm, accommodating, and communicative throughout his stay. She sent frequent updates and videos, so I could see that Tuck was happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. I especially loved that she worked on new tricks with him and kept him engaged, stimulated, and well exercised. It was clear that he received plenty of attention and affection and was treated like part of the family. Tuck clearly loved his time with Fernanda, and I felt confident that he was in caring and capable hands. I could not have asked for a better first overnight experience, and I would happily trust her with him again.
Liza has taken care of our pup a couple of times now and it’s evident that our dog adores her - seeing how excited she is to go hang out with Liza shows how much love and attention Liza gives our pup while we’re away. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sends. Were grateful to have Liza take care of our baby when we’re away!
Anton was truly exceptional and went above and beyond in every possible way! When our original arrangements unexpectedly fell through after 9:30 p.m., he agreed at the last minute to care for Archie for more than a week, providing him with a comfortable, peaceful space where he could be the only dog. Within the first 48 hours, Archie became seriously ill, and Anton immediately alerted us, helped him get to an urgent veterinary appointment, and then spent eight hours with him at the VCA emergency hospital. He kept in close communication throughout, carefully followed every discharge and medication instruction, and handled an incredibly frightening situation with compassion, calm, and responsibility. Having Archie with Anton felt like leaving him with a trusted family member, and we were able to continue our vacation knowing he was safe and receiving exceptional care. We cannot recommend Anton highly enough and will always be grateful for how he showed up for Archie when it mattered most.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Malden sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Malden landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Malden 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 Malden.
Tip: 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 Malden 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.
