“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!”
“Lori was great! This was my first time leaving my pup and she made it a great experience! Lori was great with the dogs, has a fenced in yard and sent me videos of my pup playing and having a blast! I’ll be sure to use Lori again!”
“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!”
“She always takes such wonderful care of my dog Eloise. To the point where she doesn’t even seem sad when she has to leave me 😂 because she knows she is going to have so much fun with Yesika. My go-to!”
“Luciana and her family took excellent care of Tessie during her stay with them. Tessie is a very needy pup who likes to be close to people as much as possible and I could tell that she was able to have the kind of attention she needs during her stay with Luciana. She also loves, loves, loves walks and Luciana and her family took her on lots of walks to some of her favorite places. Luciana sent me daily photos and updates and I could always tell from her updates that she was really spending a lot of time getting to know Tessie and all of her quirks (she has a lot!). I am always a little stressed when I go on vacation and leave Tessie with a sitter but I felt very sure that Tessie was being well cared for and loved during her stay with Luciana which made my vacation much more enjoyable. I will absolutely book another stay with Luciana in the future.”
“Lady just had her first visit with Elliot. She has had a traumatic past and does not respond well to strangers, however in this case, she immediately seemed to feel safe and comfortable. We are very grateful for the peace of mind he provided!”
“It was our first time boarding on Rover and Vanessa provided a great experience! The process was smooth from booking to pickup, and Vanessa sent plenty of photos and updates so we knew how our pup was doing the entire time. Would recommend!”
“Linda was so good to our dog Nala!! Nala was pampered with a whole week of zoomies in her backyard, playing with neighborhood dogs, and cuddling on the couch every evening :) We will definitely be booking again!”
“Our dog just stayed with Oana and Oliver for the week and it was very reassuring to leave her knowing that she was in good hands. Oana and Oliver are very attentive to the dogs, bring them on walk through the woods and send us lots of photos every night to show us the activities and cute moments during the day. We will definitely use their services again!”
“Ozzi had such a great time with Yang and her family. They welcomed him into their home and took great care of him. We received photos and videos every day to keep us updated, which was very appreciated. He will definitely go back on our next time away!”
“Séamus took wonderful care of Maybelle during our extended time away! He was very friendly and responsive and sent daily updates, photos and videos. I could tell that Maybelle was being treated very well - like part of the family. It set my mind at ease. She also got along well with Séamus' dog. We would definitely love to book with Séamus again in the future!”
“I don’t know who loves Gienna more - my husband and I or Mina!! She is an absolute dog whisperer and the best “Grandma” Mina could have. We always hire Gienna whenever we can and will always continue to do so. Thank you, Gienna!”
“We’ve never tried Rover before, and as new MA residents navigating our way, our neighbor recommended Akhil to us for Beau’s boarding needs. He was so frightened at his last doggie daycare, but we decided to give them a try. Beau was having the time of his life! I could tell from all the pictures and videos they’ve sent to us. I felt secure knowing that my Beau was in good hands while I was away for a short time. He received all the love, brush, and cuddles. I could just tell because he was so relaxed when I took him back home with me. Thank you, Akhil and family, for letting Beau be a part of your family!”
“Guillermo is fantastic. He was attentive to our old pup and wonderfully responsive to us. He is kind and calm, and it was clear our dog felt so comfortable and content. Our dog had an upset stomach and Guillermo was gracious and amazing at taking the extra steps to give him canned food and medicine. He sent great updates and pictures, I wish I had found him sooner and look forward to having him care for our dog again.”
“Betsy and her family created a welcoming environment that made it easy for our nervous dog to adjust. Betsy gave him all the care and attention he needed and was super responsive through our vacation. We will try to book again before we move.”
“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”

Susan was just amazing !!! She kept a clear communication between Mayas day to day activities and even made her home made treats!! Maya was just having fun and looked like she was the one on vacation instead of me!! Absolutely recommend Susan and will definitely keep her as my top pick!!! Thanks Susan !!
I recently had to find boarding for my senior dog for 7 days and had no idea where to go. I wanted her to be in a home and not a concrete cell for a week. I found Lori through Rover.com and I could tell the minute we arrived for our meet and greet she was going to be the perfect person to care for Maggie. She is experienced with senior dogs and had no problem administering her medications daily. I would, without hesitation, recommend Lori if you are looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable sitter for your pup. I got pictures every day and Maggie always looked happy and content. Lori is great!
Julie is great! Scout was so happy at her place and they went on many adventures together. She’s very responsible and made sure we had all the information we needed before and during his stay. Drop off and pick up were easy and we’ll have scout stay with Julie from now on. 😊
Left Reggie while we were overseas and was 100% confident that he was in good hands and having a good time. He's can be kind of hesitant, but Belinda was in tune with him and very aware of how he and the other dogs interacted with one another, and she genuinely seems to really like having the pups around. Her house is a great setup, with a fenced in yard and lots of space indoors for multiple dogs to be there at the same time. Will absolutely leave Reg with her again!
Heather took great care of my goldendoodle (Riva) for a weekend. Heather was very communicative and shared pictures and updates throughout the stay, and it was comforting to see Riva looking so relaxed and at home. She seemed to fit right into Heather's family! I would definitely recommend Heather to others.
Monali is amazing and took good care of my dog Maple. She walked my dog, brought my dog to park, prepared lick matt with banana and peanut butter, even bathed my dog(my dog is 50lbs a d have double coat, so lots of lots of work). She is absolutely 💯 I can tell my dog loves her so much
Everything went absolutely wonderfully with Olivia and Adam. We left our dog Chelsie with them for a long stay of about 2.5 weeks, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chelsie can be a bit anxious when staying with someone new, and to be honest, we were anxious too. We know all the little quirks and routines of our dog, but of course it’s impossible to explain every tiny detail ahead of time. Still, they handled everything incredibly well and made her feel comfortable very quickly. They constantly sent photos and updates, which I was extremely grateful for because it allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. It was very clear from the updates that Chelsie was happy, comfortable, and having her own little vacation. At one point we joked that she might not even want to come back home after staying with them. Highly recommend them, especially if you’re nervous about leaving your dog for a longer stay.
This was my second time leaving Brody with Cheuck and Michael. They were fantstic as always, took incredibly good care of Brody, sent me photo and video updates, and even gave us a goodie bag of pet treats to take home with us when I went to pick Brody up. I always feel very reassured leaving Brody with them - I know he'll be well looked after and happy. Definitely recommend these guys!
