“We had a great experience leaving our Cocker Spaniel Alfred with John. Every part of the experience was excellent — John offered to meet us and Alfred the week before the drop off; when we dropped Alfred off John said he was going to spend some one on one time with Alfred to get to know him. It was easy and our dog loved his visit. We’ll be back again for sure!”
“My dog stayed two nights and two days with Brooke and was very happy. Pip (my dog) got a little snappy with Brooke's dog Suki when they were first meeting, and both Brooke and Suki were very chill about it. Brooke told me everyone settled down quickly and reported a good stay. Her calm inspired confidence. Good communication. I was disappointed to find on arrival that the yard is not yet fenced as advertised, but Brooke let the dogs play outside leashed. I believe they are working on the fence. Great dog sitter!”
“Lovely experience leaving my foster pitbull with Yvette for a weekend. Right away I noted her nice calm demeanor. Maggie is a very nervous dog, but she responded well to Yvette on first meeting, so I felt good about that. Yvette also has all the needed supplies, lots of toys and a crate, which was nice because Maggie likes to have a place to feel safe when she’s nervous. I would feel very comfortable leaving Maggie with Yvette again. :)”
“Franny took wonderful care of my 14 year old Charlie overnight. She’s a very kind person and Charlie felt completely comfortable with her. He also got along well with her dog. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing!!! She was so responsive, sent lots of pics and I’ve never seen my dog so happy in someone else’s home! 10/10 experience!!! Thank you Nicole for taking such perfect care of Misha!!!”
“Peter was such a wonderful sitter. His updates were timely and detailed and I felt confident that Nutmeg was cared for, happy, and healthy during her stay. I will definitely ask Peter to sit again if I’m ever in the area again.”
“Saskia was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our two energetic dogs and our energetic cat, and we couldn't have been happier. She truly went above and beyond, staying in constant communication with us the whole time we were away and sending photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. She put an incredible amount of heart into caring for our pets—she easily gave one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent—and her response time was incredibly fast.”
“Mary and Todd did an excellent job watching my Tobi. He has separation anxiety and they took good care of him, sending pictures and updates. I will definitely use there services again.”
“Karina was wonderful with my Piper. She is an anxious dog and took to her right away on our trial stay. She sent pictures and updates twice a day. We have never been able to leave her with an anyone away from our home. I am very happy we found someone who took amazing care of her. Thank you!”
“Yenifer took excellent care of my dog. He was so happy with her! She made sure she communicated everyday with us during the stay, sent us pictures and updates. We are very happy with her services and would strongly recommend her. Thank you, Yenifer.”
“Kristina and Jordan took such amazing care of my pup while I was away. Kristina and Jordan treated her with so much love, and sent many pictures and videos during the stay. I’m definitely an anxious pet parent, but their care actually allowed me to relax knowing that she was in the best hands possible and having a great little vacation of her own. I couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you guys so much!”
“Irene has been such a great find in the Berkshires! She always gives helpful communication with each stay, and Ruby seems to love her time with Irene (and her sweet dog Goldie). Thanks for all of the care that you give to Ruby - we'll see you soon!”
“Mary Ann is quite simply the best. This was our third time booking her to care for our elderly dog, and she did not disappoint. She creates a thoughtful care plan to cover all possible needs, provides updates while we’re away, and makes sure our canine child is loved in our absence. What more could you ask for?! Will absolutely book her again [and again]!”
“Charlie had a great time with Nicole! I appreciated the videos and photos she shared of Charlie during his stay. She took excellent care of him and I look forward to booking with her again soon. Highly recommend ⭐️✨?”
“Patti ( and her family) are the best! It was my first time leaving my pup and it was a 12 day honeymoon. I was nervous but she sent pictures and updates every couple days and I’m pretty sure my little guy was actually sad to leave. I would recommend her to EVERYONE!”
“Jasper seemed very happy and well cared for when we picked him up. He needed a bit of extra care in the beginning of his stay. Deanne followed all of the instructions perfectly. Deanne sent lots of updates and pictures during his stay.”
“We couldn’t have asked for our doggie to be more loved and cared for. We just moved from California and were nervous about leaving our pup for the first time since the big move, but Katelyn and her family were absolutely wonderful. They sent photos to keep us posted and he looked perfectly comfy and at home in each. We are so grateful to have found Katelyn and would recommend her to others without hesitation. Our dog came back to us as though he had been on a retreat! Calm, happy, and himself.”
“Kathleen was an excellent overnight sitter for our dog! She gave frequent updates with photos and made sure the pup was well fed, well exercised, and well taken care of. This was our first experience with Rover and we are very likely to use the service again (and Kathleen if we are back in the area).”
“Carmela was super nice with my elder dog. My chihuahua suffered violence from a teenager and now his behavior is not the best. Carmela was so comprehensive and knew how to manage him to keep him feel safe in her home. I am so thankful that she received my baby in her home for the time I had to travel.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Monterey 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 Monterey.
<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.
You and your Monterey 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.
