“It was great having Sirius stay with Winn again! Sirius was so excited when he got back to Winn's place. As always Winn is super easy to coordinate and communicate with, and Sirius looked like he had a great time hanging out!”
“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 took such excellent care of my Prague Ratter dog, Rubix, for close to a week while I was out of town. Oscar provided daily video updates that allowed me to know how well Rubix was doing, which really eased my mind while I was away. Oscar was always very communicative and always responded to all of my messages within minutes - he was also very generous in being flexible with the dog sitting schedule (as I was concerned I might not make it back from traveling due to a recent blizzard), which helped reduce any stress I might have felt if I didn’t pick him up when I originally said I would. He told me not to worry, and that he would work with me if I needed to make any adjustments to the schedule. You can tell through the videos that both him and his wife have a genuine love of dogs. I’m very grateful to have found Oscar to watch my dog and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you Oscar once again to you and your wife for everything!”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo were absolutely amazing with Bruno over Christmas break. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and clearly cared so much about him. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands, and it was obvious he was happy and well cared for the entire time. They kept me updated, treated him like one of their own, and went above and beyond. I could not recommend them enough!!!”
“Emily was so kind, patient, and welcoming to our puppy who spent his first nights away from us with her. She was not phased at all by his initial excitement and nervousness, was happy to help with some minor medical issues, and kept us updated with pictures and notes. It was clear our pup had a great time with Emily and we are so glad he will get to stay with her again soon!”
“Jing was highly responsive and took great care of Baks. Communication was thoughtful and prompt. She sent tons of pictures and updates which put my mind to ease. I was able to pick Baks up early with no issue and was very happy to see him early. Baks stayed with Jing for 4 nights while I was out of town.”
“Liliya and her family continue to take great care of our girl Luna so we can be confident when we travel! She is very communicative, accommodating, and sends lots of photos. Thank you Liliya!”
“Tianyue was phenomenal with our two dogs! We left them with her for an extended (two weeks), during which we received daily communication, complete with adorable pictures and videos. Both pups seemed completely at home after just a few hours, and I appreciated how Tianyue tailored her care and approach to each one of them. 1000/10, would absolutely recommend!”
“Alex is an exceptional caretaker and we are so relieved we found him! We left for our first trip away from our superstar Rufus, and Alex couldn’t have been more understanding and thoughtful with the communication of photos, videos, and calls when we were missing our pup. Alex was also flexible when our flight was delayed and we appreciated that greatly. Thank you again Alex, we look forward to Ru having a place to stay with you in the future!”
“Andreas took such wonderful care of our small doodle. He seems to genuinely love dogs, and our pup had a great time staying with him. He also sent along many photos and updates of their day. 10/10!”
“This hasn’t been the first time Paul has watched our pup. Every time, we know our dog is in good hands - Paul goes above and beyond and is a great communicator. This time around we got stuck and delayed coming back from our trip because of the blizzard, and Paul was incredibly kind, understanding, and flexible in working with us to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away.”
“Alex is the best! My dog has been sick and Alex took good care of her and was attentive. My dog was on meds & she made sure she took her pills. Strongly recommend Alex!”
“Lindsay was very responsible and considerate. I could totally trust her for my pup to stay with Lindsay for two nights. My pup also seems to have enjoyed time with Bentley and Archie. Highly recommended!”
“Hunter took great care of my dog Maizie while he was in her care for 2.5 weeks. She is very communicative and provided frequent updates on Maizie. Maizie had a great time and enjoyed playing with her dogs as well! I would use Hunter again for future boarding and I would also recommend Hunter to any one looking for any dog services!”
“Maja was super nice and I can tell Teddy was very comfortable. I received puppy mail and she reached out with all questions. I would let Maia watch Teddy again for sure.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and walking dogs of family and friends. I have also cared for puppies and animals with disabilities. I work from home and have the flexibility to make my own schedule on most weekdays. Afternoons are preferable for dog walking, though I can usually make accommodations for AM walks as well. I will mainly be offering dog walking services, so caring for the animals in my home will likely not be required. However, if a client needs at home care, I am willing to be flexible, depending on their preferences.
“Jo and Adam were amazing with my dog Nala. They treated her like one of their own by taking her on several walks, throwing the ball for her, sitting on the couch with her, taking her out with them to a brewery (Nala’s favorite), and sending me plenty of pictures. Will definitely book with them again”
“Zoe was fabulous. I was in a jam last minute to find a sitter and she responded right away and was able to watch my dog for 4 days while I was away on vacation. I was nervous that my dog would not respond well to her larger dog, but her dog was so gentle with mine, they were able to be together in the yard and in the house, no problems.”

This is the second time we had Su take our boy Benny for boarding and he took amazing care of him again. We really appreciate his thoughtful updates and pictures and knew Benny was having a great time. Benny was happy and tired when we picked him up! We definitely recommend Su!
Sana was wonderful with our kitten, Bentley! It was his first time with a sitter, so we were a little nervous, but she completely put us at ease. She sent us pictures a few times a day, which we loved — it was so reassuring to see him happy and relaxed. She took great care of him and kept us updated throughout the weekend. We'd absolutely book Sana again and highly recommend her.
This was our first time using Rover, and Holly made us feel completely at ease from the start. Mochi takes a while to warm up to new people and situations, and Holly was so experienced and patient with her that we never had to worry. She was also a great communicator and sent us regular updates and photos while we were away. Mochi was in wonderful hands! We would absolutely recommend Holly and will definitely use her again.
Kim is one of the kindest and sweetest people ever. She took excellent care of my pups, communicated well, and sent photos throughout the day. She has earned my trust, and I plan to use her as my dogs’ primary dog sitter. Thank you for taking care of Lucky and Petunia; they had such a great time and will miss you and your family!
She took good care of Minnie while I was away for over a week. Everything went smoothly, and I had no issues during her stay. Communication was fine overall, although I would have appreciated more regular updates and photos without having to ask. Overall, she was reliable and I would consider using her again.

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.
