“Alec and Damien were perfect hosts for Fran! It was our first time boarding her and everything went super smoothly. Fran was happy and cared for. Would definitely bring Fran to their place again.”
“Jess was amazing with our pup. I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to work for a second. We received updates and pictures frequently, which we loved. Will definitely use her for our future dog sitting needs!”
“Joseph was awesome! He communicated well and sundae seemed to have a good time with him. He’s also super friendly and flexible which was great for us as our travel schedule ended up changing.”
“Another weekend boarding experience with Casey that we could not be happier about! Our dogs now RUN UP the stairs to Casey's place in excitement and we felt so at ease leaving them. We had very spotty service during the weekend at where we were, but we knew that our dogs were being cared for the best they could be (spoiled, really!) and gave us zero worries. Thank you, thank you, Casey.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”
“Alyson is always amazing watching my cat! He’s had some medical issues lately and she was extremely attentive, followed all my instructions, and gave me constant updates on how he was doing. My trip out of town was much much less stressful thanks to her. I would recommend Alyson for anyone looking to have their cat stay with someone while they are away. Thanks Alyson!!”
“Dana is the most professional sitter I have met through Rover. I was invited to go for a walk with him and my dog before the booking, during which he demonstrated his knowledge of interpreting canine body language and skill at correcting bad behaviors. I was provided daily video updates on how my dog was doing. When I came to pick my dog up, I was invited to sit and eat a home-cooked meal with Dana’s family. I will definitely look for Dana next time I need a sitter.”
“Absolutely AMAZING dog sitter! My original plans for my dog fell through at the last minute and I reached out to 3 other people and TIANYUE was on the last page for whatever reason but I'm glad I stuck it out! Her communication, her updates, and even help with rebooking, all 5 stars! Sad i don't live in Boston anymore because I would easily hand over my baby girl to her!”
“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“Alan was so helpful in accommodating our last minute drop-off and pick-up schedule changes. We were provided updates with accompanying pictures of Murphy throughout our entire trip and felt he was in good hands. We would love to have Murphy be a repeat client. Thank you for all your help and for taking such good care of our guy.”
“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Daniel and his dog Annie were a wonderful match for our dog, Tegan. He even arranged a meet-up beforehand so the dogs could get to know each other, which gave us peace of mind. During Tegan’s stay, Daniel sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Tegan usually takes a day or two to settle in and start eating when she’s in a new environment, but with Daniel and Annie she felt right at home from the start. We’ll definitely ask Daniel to watch Tegan again in the future!”
“Jason was amazing with our dog, Libby! He sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend, which we absolutely loved. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. He took wonderful care of her, and we would definitely book with Jason again!”
“Nalix and her family took wonderful care of my dog for 30 days! Nalix sent me photos and updates regularly and always responded to my messages very quickly. I 100% recommend her service and will definitely use it again! :D”
“Isabella did a great job in minding Marvin and Mellow. My cats are usually nervous at first, but settled down really well throughout their stay. She kept us in the loop with loads of photos and videos. By the end, our cats were content and I would definitely book her again!”
“Zarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)”

Sonia was amazing with Frankie and had great communication the whole time. She made sure Frankie felt at home and kept her well entertained and active the entire time she was there for 5 days. Would definitely use her again as Frankie had the best the time. Highly recommend:)
We had a great experience leaving Sam with Robert. Leaving a dog behind is never easy for sure, but from day one, we had were comforted that he was treated like Robert's own dog, Tux. Communication was great throughout the entire stay (especially since we were halfway around the world), with regular updates and photos that showed that Sam was doing well. He came home calm, happy, and clearly cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking again in the future. Highly recommended!
Allie puppy sat our 2 year old Twix for the weekend, seems like they had a great time with each other! Allie was prompt and responsive, showed twix around town and followed the care instructions we had for Twix. Would definitely recommend and will plan to have her watch twix again sometime soon !
Highly recommend Mokeisha to watch your pups!! She was a fast communicator, reliable and took excellent care of our two dogs!! She sent lots of photos of them while we were away and was accommodating to their unique routines. She was also really understanding and comforting to our pups while they had some separation anxiety which was extremely comforting to us. Thanks Mokeisha! We will absolutely leave our dogs with her again.
So glad that Lauren is back on Rover. Sierra remembered her, and I think it must have been 4 years since her last stay there. From the second she got out of the car, she was excited, and by the time we got to the sidewalk up to the door, she was wagging her butt off, so excited to be back. A great stay!
I was a little nervous leaving my dog Riley with new people because she’s so anxious, but we were able to meet beforehand with a meet and greet, which definitely helped make it more comfortable, and Riley was able to warm up thereafter. Great apt/backyard setup for dog sitting and we really appreciated the daily updates and pictures!
Truly the best of the best when it comes to care. She walked our one dog constantly as he needs to expend a lot of energy. My dog Boo is very very timid and she warmed up to Agnieszka immediately. She has recently had dental surgery and was struggling to eat. Agnieszka went so far as to feed my dog out of her hand to get her to eat. It was amazing to know that my dogs were in such good hands and truly felt at home with her. She is amazing and I can’t thank her enough!

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 Mattapan 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 Mattapan 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 Mattapan 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 Mattapan.
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 Mattapan 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.
