“Bailey loves going to Destinee’s house for vacation! And it makes our vacation that much better knowing our pup is in a loving home being treated like one of the family. We always get plenty of pictures without even having to ask and know what she did during the day (lots of backyard zoomies usually). Thanks again!!”
“One of the best places we have seen. Professional, knows her stuff,very caring and accommodating. Big place, room for the dogs to run and play. Communication is exceptional. Sends you pictures and keeps your comfort level good. Will definitely use her again. Highly rwcommended”
“My dog had so much fun with her. He played to his hearts content. He had so much fun that when he got home he slept for almost two days straight because he was tired from playing so much.”
“This was our very first time using Rover and we were more than pleased with the level of care, attention and affection Kristen and her family provided for our little Maya. It was clear that Maya enjoyed every day she spent there. We won’t hesitate to rebook with Kristen in the future!”
“Rubal cared for our Pomeranian, Milo, and she was fantastic. She kept us in the loop with regular photos and videos, clear, quick communication, and you can tell she really cares. We felt very comfortable the whole time. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Gnocchi came home a bit tuckered out. She got to run around Christopher’s back yard!!! We got to see videos and pictures of her stay. Will book again, when we get to have time away.”
“First time using Mary for our boys George and Frank on a week long trip. Having recently moved from the PNW we have had to find our new “dog people” and this has been very anxiety provoking! Mary was great with them and sent me pictures throughout the week, we added on baths at the end of the week so they were fresh for our return. We will absolutely send them to Mary’s for our future vacations ?”
“I have no words with how thrilled we are!! Our pack of 3 fur babies had a blast with Kieth at his house. They had free run every day and Kieth made sure they kept up with their commands. Before dropping off, Keith was sure to ask for an emergency contact and vet information just in case. My husband and I got pictures while we were gone. We got updates on how our pack was doing and getting along with the other dogs at his place.”
“Julie was great with Tucker and he had a great stay! She took care of him like he was her own! She sent photos and kept us updated on how things were going. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Julie take care of Tucker again! ?”
“Debbie and Jeffrey are amazing care givers! Our dog is always well cared for and he loves staying there. They are flexible and communicate regularly, sending pictures and updates. They are my permanent option for my dog Loki.”
“Sheila was very good with communication and helping accommodate my dog while I went on vacation. I was rushing leaving the house and forgot to grab my pups wet dog food to mix with his dry food because that’s the only way he’ll eat it. She personally went to the store and got him some. She sent pictures and updates everyday and made me feel like I wasn’t missing a second with him, which I appreciate.”
“Christine provided excellent dog sitting services! She's great at communicating and very responsive. Her friendly demeanor and lovely home with a large fenced yard were perfect for our dog. We'll definitely use her again for any future dog sitting needs. She gave us great peace of mind while our family was on vacation. Highly recommended!”
“Definitely recommend. My big ole dog gave his favorable review as he hopped out and ran up to start his repeat visit. Great companionship with Brooke’s family and dogs. Good communication. Will absolutely use again.”
“RB and Darwin had a wonderful weekend with Brook. I was a bit nervous because I had never left our 4 legged kids with anyone but Brook was amazing. Sent me pics and video and took perfect care of our boys. Would most definitely recommend. Very happy.”
“This was the first time someone I didn't know watching my dog. This was the best experience. She treated Biggie with the upmost care. She treated him like family. This is my new go to instead of boarding him I got pictures and updates when needed. She even picked up Biggie. I highly recommend”
“Sharon was awesome, she took good care of my dogs and was really flexible when I had to adjust my schedule due to a missed flight. I definitely recommend her.”
“Wonderful people, they loved being there and played tons. Took wonderful care of them, we loved the photos and the updates so much! Would 100% recommend boarding with them, we will definitely book again if we come back out that way.”
“Waffles and Dobby had a great time and had amazing care. Ashley, Mike, and the Kids treated our pups like family. This was Dobby’s first time away from us and they did great with him. Waffles and Dobby got lots of play time and lots of love. They sent plenty of photos and gave updates a couple times a day. Will definitely be using them next time we need a sitter.”

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 Needham 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 Needham.
<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 Needham 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 IN 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.
