“They provided excellent care, and sent plenty of photos/updates of my special needs dog while I was away on an extended trip. They were also very accommodating when I needed to extend my trip due to a delay. I cannot recommend them enough.”
“We always leave our dog Rio with Dana and Nia. They are wonderful with him, and have figured out how to make him feel right at home. Will continue to use their services!”
“Julie is the best!! I was in a tough spot with a flight delay and she was so kind and accommodating helping to drop off my dog and checked in to make sure we got back okay to take care of Willow that that night. I’m sure Willow would have loved if the flight was delayed even more so she could spend more time with Julie because her life seemed full of adventures and love all week. Huge thanks to Julie would definitely love to have her watch willow again!”
“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!”
“Joe and Rosie were very sweet for looking after my boy bodhi. Bodhi has a good amount of energy and is pretty smart. Too smart sometimes. But Joe and Rosie were patient and kind to him. Definitely will be rebooking! Thank you again!”
“Nalix was great with my boy Bentley, very understanding and a true dog person. I was provided pics, which I always appreciate and was glad to see my boy looked happy. My dog is a senior and Nalix was very patient and kind with him, I felt very assured while I was away for a couple of days.”
“Ashley was wonderful! She sent lots of photos and videos during charlee’s stay. My pup is nervous in new situations but she quickly warmed up to Ashley. Will definitely have another stay in the future!”
“Exceptional service!!!!This is my first time leaving a young puppy while I was traveling for the weekend. Lots of great picture updates, really thoughtful and takes care of anything that comes up.”
“Landy had such a great time with them and he quickly settled in with them (which was amazing because he is fairly anxious). They sent me lots of pictures and stayed in contact about how he was doing throughout his stay. They were super flexible with timing which was a huge help. Overall, they have been some of the best sitters I’ve had and I feel extremely comfortable leaving Landy with them. I will absolutely work with them again the next time I need to board my dog (I just hope that they will be available as they were the best sitters!)”
“I had a great experience with Kimberly!! She took such good care of Eeyore and gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was great with communication, kept me updated, and made sure he was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! 😊”
“Brooklyn watched our Sydney for a quick overnight. She was very kind and responsive. Very accommodating of our pup's schedule and needs. We felt very at ease knowing she was in good hands”
“Mario and his wife were great with Yoda! They kept me updated on how he was doing through out his stay. And Yoda was returned to me a happy puppy :-) I would highly recommend these guys. And will definitely leave Yoda with them the next time I travel.”
“Once again, Ruya was a great help in watching and taking care of our dog! She is always very responsive and sends lots of pictures and videos! We love Ruya and will continue to use her boarding service in the future!”
“Kevin was amazing with our dog! He constantly sent pictures and updates of her, and was always very responsive. Our doggo came back so happy. I would definitely book with him again!”
About: I’m a caring cat and dog mom with lifelong experience with pets. I have a 3 year old cat and a 2 year old dog, who are my whole world. I love playing with energetic puppies and kittens, and I also have experience caring for sweet senior dogs, having grown up with two dogs with my parents. I’m a private music teacher with a flexible schedule and currently spend most of my time at home. Your pet will have plenty of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and personalized care based on each pet’s routine. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walks throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and I’m always happy to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible. I live with my husband, a friendly 2-year-old Bichpoo, and a calm, gentle cat. Our home is filled with cozy beds, toys, and treats for both cats and dogs. We’re also within walking distance of a dog park, making it easy to give dogs extra exercise and outdoor fun if that’s something they enjoy. We vacuum twice a day and mop every other day to keep our home clean, safe, and comfortable. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care, so they can feel relaxed, happy, and right at home.
“Phillipa was fantastic and communicative, sending lots of updates throughout my dog’s visit. He came home very happy and seemed to have a great time!”
“Su was wonderful! Extremely attentive and responsive and it's obvious our geriatric pup settled right in, comfortable from first sniff. The home is also quite spacious with a lovely green yard. Can't recommend Su enough.”
“Nola and Damian were so great! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little hesitant about leaving Toki with someone new. However, they made us feel super comfortable and clearly took great care of her during our time away.”
“Will and his wife Kayla did a fantastic job boarding our pup Ruby for a long weekend! They were very accommodating in meeting us a few days before the stay, and we were instantly put at ease with our decision to book with them. They took amazing care of Ruby and sent many photos and updates throughout the weekend. Ruby has a blast playing with Scout and Chase and I’m sure she will be hoping to play with them again soon! Highly recommend Will and Kayla and would definitely book again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mattapan
Alan & Ying were wonderful, attentive, and took such great care of Charli while we were away! ❤️ We especially appreciated the daily photos and videos, along with the extra attention they gave to cleaning her eyes. Charli seemed so happy, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands — we truly appreciate everything and would highly recommend Alan & Ying and plan on using them again!
I had a great experience with Kimberly!! She took such good care of Eeyore and gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was great with communication, kept me updated, and made sure he was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! 😊
Fantastic experience with Scottie! He was incredibly attentive to Indy and very communicative. He made sure my pup had plenty of comfort, snuggles, a clean and welcoming home, and tons of fun. I also got some adorable photos throughout his stay. Extra props for having plenty of dog supplies on hand and the expertise to handle whatever might come up. Scottie is clearly a true animal lover, a great guy, and has a wonderful dog-friendly home away from hime. Indy was in excellent hands!
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 !

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mattapan 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 Mattapan.
<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.
