“All went well with Buttercup’s stay with Michelle while we were away for 5 days, and Buttercup came home contented and well cared for. Michelle even made the extra effort to drive up some dog toys to is that gor left behind at her place the next day.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of owning a pug, multiple chihuahuas, and an Italian greyhound. I absolutely adore dogs and cats and I am eager to provide first class service for your pets so that you can take a break and enjoy life! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for overnight stays as well. I work from home and make my own schedule so I am always there for your pets! I work from home and make my own schedule so I am able to provide 24/7 watch / care for your pets either at your home or in mine (minimal amount of furniture, dog bed, studio - lots of space).
About: I have two years of experience working at a dog shelter in Bolivia, where I helped care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve also grown up with dogs at home, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I love spending time with dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’ve even taught my own dogs different tricks, so I’m very patient and enjoy working with dogs and helping them learn. Now that I’m living in Boston, I’d love to help other dog owners care for their pups and treat them like my own! My schedule is very flexible outside of classes. I have classes Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 4–10 PM, but I’m available before those times and have much more flexibility on Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends. I especially enjoy weekend pet sitting because I can spend plenty of time with your dog and give them the attention, walks, playtime, and company they need. I live in a cozy, clean apartment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and fresh air with regular walks around the city and Boston Common. I always follow each owner’s routine and instructions, keep dogs safely leashed outside, and make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and affection while they’re with me.
“Maria and Mac are amazing! They sent a lot of pictures and kept me well informed of how Bori was doing. If I have to go out of town again I would absolutely want them to take care of Bori again.”
“Svetlana was able to take Ghost very last minute and was amazing. We are in the middle of moving and apparently Ghost has been more emotionally affected than we realized and was very nervous/anxiouswhen I left him with her. He always has some level of separation anxiety but was really acting out this time. She was very understanding in handling it and kept me fully informed throughout his stay and his behavior. I am thankful to her for looking after him and being so caring in his time of need.”
“We had never left our fur babies with anyone outside of family before Kayla. She put our minds at ease and took such good care of them, and we could not be more grateful. Thank you, Kayla!!”
“Wonderful care of our pup when we were out of the country for 10 days! Photos and updates of his adventures, lots of walk and play. Our pup came home happy and healthy after having his own little vacation!”
About: Hi my name is Layla and I’m looking for dog walking opportunities in the Cambridge area. I’m a freshman college student at Harvard and I have 3 dogs and 3 cats back home. I mostly have experience with small dogs (my dogs back home are cavalier King Charles Spaniels and one Westie) but I am used to dogs of all sizes and different behaviors. I have been around dogs since I was baby so I am very comfortable with them! I have dealt with older dogs with disabilities and young puppies who yap and bark a lot so I’m happy to walk any type of dog. My schedule is very flexible and I am happy to provide references or more information about myself if you are interested!
“Hi my Milo had a great time with Natalie. She was sweet and caring and booked us last minute when we really needed it! I would reach out to Natalie again any time! Thank you Natalie you were awesome!”
“Taylor provided a great home for snowball during a last minute request. Daily long walks, multiple pictures and videos throughout the day and extremely responsive. Communication was consistent and overall a great experience. I can’t recommend Taylor enough. Snowball came back home fully groomed and looking better than when I dropped him off.”
“Kwangwoo was great with Bentley! Super communicative, easy to find times for pick up and drop off. He also sent some fun pictures and kept us updated of Bentley's day. Everything was packed up and ready to go when we came to pick up Bentley! Would definitely recommend and work with Kwangwoo again”
“Zach was fantastic! He came through for us last minute when our other sitter cancelled last minute. He watched our dog Nugget for the weekend, and was flexible, communicative, easy to work with, and very attentive to our needs and directions. We'll definitely use him again.”
“Frodo had a great stay- enjoyed playing with the hosts' dogs, I got great pictures and video updates, easy to communicate with. Would absolutely use again.”

Oscar and his wife did an amazing job watching over Marco. Kept me updated on his daily behavior and such. Shared fun videos and photos regularly. I would definitely request their services again in the near future. I highly recommend their pet sitting services. Sincerely, George A.
Nancy was great with our dog, Sierra. Nancy has a nice routine and a set of dog toys for the dog she boards. Nancy provides daily updates and it looked like Sierra was having a great time. We already have Nancy as a weekly dog walker and I would highly recommend her for boarding as well.
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!
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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
