“I cannot recommend Marie enough! Nova fell in love with her instantly and warmed up to her so quickly. Marie has such great energy, and you can tell she’s a genuinely kind and caring person.

“Our puppy had such a great time in Mariah‘s home with her to adorable little guys. She took them on long walks and trips to the dog park and big plus she knows sign language and did some commands with our puppy. So cool!”
About: I've been taking care of pets for the past 4 years and have grown to love caring and playing with them. When my friends go on vacation, they always ask me to pet sit and it's always a great time for me and for them. I make sure to follow their parents' instructions and show the pet that I care about them by giving them belly rubs and bringing them for multiple walks. I'm available on weekdays after 6:30pm and weekends to play with your pups. My bf is wfh so your pets will always have company at my home. I have taken care of my boyfriend's dog over the weekends for the past 4 years and have been providing care for dogs on Rover for a year. At my home, I ensure that the pet feels comfortable by creating a space dedicated to them. I live in an apartment complex with a doggy play area and a shower area so they have plenty of space to get out their energy. I will try to transfer skills that they've been learning at home and keep the routine going. At the client's home, I make sure to learn about their comfortable spots and routines. I want to continuously communicate with the owner to know what is best for the pet, their personality and the best way to interact with the pet.
About: I have a 6 years old Pomeranian at home in south korea. When I’m home, as the primary caregiver, I walk, run, bathe, and comb every morning and night! I don’t have any dogs in Boston with me, but I’ve dog sat my friends’ ~25 pound dogs for several times! I’m currently a PhD student in Boston, and I usually work from home twice a week! Also, I spend most of my time at home during weekends, and our apartment has the greatest waking path for the dogs! I live in a pet-friendly apartment and a well designed park right next to it. I love playing and walking with the dogs. We don’t have any pups at home, but i have one lovely Pomeranian at my house in Korea.
“Bean had a wonderful stay with Steven, Helen and Milo! They have a great set up with fenced in front and back yards. Bean felt immediately at home when we dropped her off and Milo was wonderful with her puppy energy. We would highly recommend them!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Tiffany and Steve were SO GOOD and patient at explaining things and offering tips and enrichment suggestions. Their insights were really helpful — especially as I’m only two months into having my rescue. It’s clear they’re very knowledgeable about animal behavior and really care about your pet and your relationship with your pet. For context, after a meet and great, my dog Feta did one day of daycare to make sure the situation works for boarding. This should make any other pet owner feel good knowing that Tiffany and Steve assess the dogs in their care to make sure the situation is good for all. Highly recommend!!!”
“Pogo had an amazing stay with Akhil!! He thoroughly enjoyed himself and will definitely be coming back again soon! Thank you for a great experience and all the care for our baby.”
“Haowen was a great caregiver! A++++++ he and his girlfriend were kind, responsible, concientous and so friendly and loving. We’ll definitely use them the next time we’re in town!”
“Cheuck was an excellent sitter for our dog Simka. We basically never leave her with someone we don’t know, but he made us comfortable from the beginning and she had a great time. It was fun to see photos and videos throughout her stay.”
“Rose was attentive and caring, and made sure Lola had plenty of exercise and fun. My little came home happy and healthy, and the pictures from the day let me know she was having a good time. Messaging back and forth was quick and easy. I would request Rose again.”
“I want to share that Julia took care of Bruno while we were out for the day, and let me tell you, she was fantastic! At first, we were hesitant because we had never left our puppy with anyone else. However, Julia kept us updated with pictures, which really built our trust. Thank you, Julia! We will definitely book her again!!!”
“Elizabeth and her kids took amazing care of Bean! Elizabeth was incredibly accommodating in setting up a space for Bean in her home and truly went above and beyond. She also sent various updates and photos throughout Bean's stay with her. Would definitely recommend!”

Haowen took wonderful care of my 10-year-old Australian Shepherd while I traveled out of state for a family event. My Aussie has arthritis, so I’m always a little cautious about leaving him with someone new, but Haowen quickly put me at ease. Throughout the day, I received gorgeous photos and regular updates that reassured me he was happy and well cared for. He got plenty of walks, attention, and companionship, and it was obvious he was having a great time. I will absolutely use Haowen again the next time I need someone to care for him!
Puja was wonderful with Mello! She was kind, reliable, and took such great care of him. She was also very communicative and sent lots of updates throughout his stay, which I really appreciated and made me feel completely at ease. Mello seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him, and we would definitely book with Puja again!
I cannot say enough good things about Annie, she was amazing baby sitting little 15 week doxie named Winston! He is opinionated, independent and stubborn like many puppies, but also his breed. Annie was so patient with him, every morning that I dropped him off and picked him up you could tell how much he enjoyed his stay! Routines are really important for puppies of his age - Annie wrote everything down and followed routine to the T! She also sent me so many updates throughout the day. Winston came back so happy every night! 🥰 thank you Annie!

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 Malden 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.

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.
