“Daniela took amazing care of Dobby while we were away. She sent great updates and from each picture and video it was easy to tell that Dobby was having a great time playing in the yard and hanging out with Daniela and her family. Glad Dobby was able to be with a safe and caring family while we were gone!”
“This was the second time Colby has stayed with Faith and I always know that he is well taken care of. Colby is super scared of staying with anyone but the people he knows, but Faith and her husband take good care of him and make him feel really loved. Can’t ask for more than that!!!”
“Joseph and his family were great sitters. They took care of our boy like he was their own. Their home and outdoor space is safe and spacious for dogs to get plenty of exercise. They were also very accommodating when we had a change in travel plans. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again as a sitter.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Leyani was great, her kids loved our dog too. I would not hesitate to leave Brewster with their family in the future. She sent us daily pictures of our dog and we could tell he was happy and relaxed.They have a nice fenced yard and took Brewster to the dog park as well.”
“Yenny and her family where extremely amazing 🥰 my Winnie was happy being around them for being her first time spending the night out of her comfort 🩷🫶🏼 she did well I will definitely book again in near future with yenny. Definitely recommend her 💯”
“Daisy watched our dog Bentley for a long weekend. Daisy was great with Bentley, she is very understanding and kind . In the past our dog Bentley got very anxious and nervous when we went away, he was very comfortable with her and happy for the time we where gone. We already booked Daisy for a week long stay in the end of January!”
“Mike and his family did a wonderful job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They send lots of photos and really treat her like one of the family, she has the best time there and I know she is being well cared for, highly recommend.”
“Rosalynn and Angel were absolutely wonderful with my old dog. They did a great job of communicating while I was away and my girl came home happy. I will definitely be using them again in the future! So nice to know a trusted sitter in the area.”
“Veska and her husband took great care of George! She sent lots of updates with pictures on how George was doing and was very accommodating with my late request when my other dog sitter had to cancel due to sickness. George loved staying with them!”
“Ruth was absolutely wonderful and very flexible! She and Roxy welcomed Pablo and made him comfortable and happy from the moment one. I was comfortable knowing that my senior pup is in loving and experienced hands. He had a great time socializing, walking and enjoying Ruth's backyard. Thank you so much!!”
“Great dogsitter, and can be mathematically proven. 4 dogs + 0 problems ÷ 4 days = 1 dog problem per day. And the 1 dog problem was that they didn't want to leave her backyard doggy fantasyland and come back to our boring home. Will use again next time we leave town.”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Stacey! From the moment we met, it was clear how caring and attentive she is with animals. Our Cody and Leo absolutely adored her. While we were away, Stacey kept us updated with photos and messages which gave us peace of mind. She went above and beyond-not only making sure Cody and Leo were fed and loved, but also taking the time to play ball and cuddle which is their favorite thing to do. When we got home, Cody and Leo were so happy and clearly well taken care for. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy and dependable-we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family. Thank you so much Stacey!”
“Dolev took great care of Bree! She gave updates and photos so we could see how relaxed she was in the evening and what a fun walk she got to take Dolev on! And we came back to a very happy dog when we picked her up!”
“Joshua watched our two German Shepherds for a week while we went on vacation. It was the first time someone other than family watched our pets and we were very anxious about it. After our meet and greet at Joshua’s home we were immediately put at ease. While away Joshua sent us almost daily updates with photos so we could see how our dogs were doing. They were having the best time and enjoying a vacation of their own. One of our dogs required daily medications which was not a problem. We can’t thank Joshua enough for taking such great care of our pets and allowing us the ability to enjoy our vacation without worry. We highly recommend Joshua and will definitely have him watch our pets again in the future!”
“Kristen and Bobby took excellent care of our dog Lenny. Lenny and their dog got along great, and Kristen and Bobby followed our instructions perfectly. I would highly recommend!”
“Adriana and her family are so understanding, sweet, and dedicated caregivers. Your dog will be in good hands with someone who really takes the extra time and effort to make sure they are comfortable and having fun. She is very responsive and sends frequent picture updates.”

Bob was wonderful with our pup Dune! This was our first time with Bob, and I always get a bit nervous when I leave him with someone new. However Bob put both myself and Dune at ease immediately. It's abundantly clear that he absolutely loves dogs. He made sure Dune was comfortable, well-cared for, loved and happy throughout his stay!
I couldn’t be happier with Bob and the care he gave to Hamilton over the weekend. I’m always nervous when trying a new dog sitter, but Rob was so fantastic and made me, and Hamilton, feel comfortable his entire stay. He sent plenty of pictures and Hamilton came back happy and well cared for. Hamilton will be back soon. Thanks again Bob!
We’ve boarded our dog, Tanner, with Daniela and her family several times now, and they are simply wonderful with him! Throughout his stay, Daniela kept us updated with great photos where Tanner was clearly in his element, soaking up all the love and attention from the whole family. They even gave him lessons in ball retrieval! Granted, he ultimately flunked those lessons—but he is a Coonhound, after all. Daniela’s communication and responsiveness were top-notch from start to finish. We are so grateful for the attentive, loving care Tanner received, and I cannot recommend Daniela and her family highly enough!

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 Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
