“Lyn was a fantastic dog sitter! Super professional and communicative and sent us updates of her weekend with our senior pup Thomas. He was well-rested and full of wiggles when we picked him up. Highly recommend and we will definitely reach out to her the next time we head out of town.”
“Gina was EXCELLENT with Maisy! Our fluffy girl is a bit of a princess and Gina was so patient with her. She sent us photo updates and gave her plenty of enrichment and cuddles while we were gone for our 5 day trip. 100% will book her again!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old. With the 16 years of experience with cats, I believe every fur baby needs a home away from home. Like with every pet parent, I strive for the best with my cat. If you choose me to watch your fur baby, I will provide the best and safest environment for them. Do they need a room to themselves? You got it. Has explosive diarrhea? I have cleaning supplies. Medical issues? Another way to keep me on my toes. I hope you consider me as a prospective aunt to your kitter cat or doggo and can’t wait to fill up my camera role with adorable pictures. I look forward to hearing from you 💕 I am a grad student at Brandeis University. My classes are usually over by 2 pm, so after then I’m usually at my apartment caring for my cat and completing schoolwork. So needless to say, I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule for your pets individual needs. If I am doing home visits, I would like to visit the clients home a day or two prior to the arranged visit(s) to understand the animals needs and to see if we would be a good fit. I believe it is important to establish an understanding with the animal in question before I frequent the premises so there isn’t any unnecessary stress for your pet. In regards to boarding, I have a medium sized apartment that would be good for any cat or small-medium dog. There are multiple grassy areas for bathroom breaks and walks around the premises. You will have to provide me with your animals usual schedule (times for bathroom breaks, when and how much time are committed to walks, feeding times, etc.) so I can build my set around them and their needs
“Thank you for taking care of Doodle -she’s not the easiest dog to handle but thank you for being so incredibly responsible, always on time, and cares for her well-being. I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter!”

“Alan and Ying took wonderful care of Ripley during his four-night stay. They were very thoughtful in their approach to make him feel comfortable and at home. Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.”
“Greta and her pup Juniper were wonderful hosts! My dog is nervous in new places and is more comfortable when another dog is around. Greta was patient and loving. I felt really comfortable leaving him with her for the weekend. Greta gave lots of updates and pictures. Would definitely recommend!”
“We are so grateful to have found such a loving, attentive family, to take care of our mini goldendoodle! We really appreciated the messages and photos every day! I know Sunny loved her frequent walks and the wonderful care she received! We wholeheartedly recommend!!!”
“Tomoe was great! We left our Boston terrier with her and she took great care of him, giving him all the play time and cuddles. We felt extremely comfortable leaving him with Tomoe and would use her again!”
“Our pup, Reese, absolutely adored Maggie and had a great stay! Maggie was amazing with Reese, so patient with her picky eating style and getting dirty at the park. She also paired our pup with another sweet dog who was staying with her, so they had a nice doggy hangout all weekend. Highly recommend!”
“Sara is a lovely pet caretaker!! She took care of my elderly tiny toy dog for 3 weeks and did an amazing job. I really appreciated her consistent updates and pictures. Highly recommend her!”
“Shana was great with our dog Basil! She watched her just overnight but Basil definitely looks like she got plenty of walks, attention, and couch time! Will definitely keep Shana in mind for future sits!”
“Highly recommend Miriam! She was able to watch Pretzel with only a few days notice and was more than willing to accommodate his separation anxiety. All this to say that Pretzel had a great time and we would definitely book with her again.”
About: I have many years of experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I have experience caring for cats and dogs, including older pets who need extra patience, companionship, and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping regular routines, and giving pets plenty of love and company while their owners are away. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and understand how important it is to leave everything clean, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable and happy and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and can plan my day around their needs and routines. When I’m caring for a pet, I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m happy to spend extra time playing, giving cuddles, going for walks, or simply sitting with a cat or dog if that’s what makes them feel comfortable. I really enjoy having animals as part of my day. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. Safety, trust & environment How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer.
“François was absolutely fantastic. He went over our routine with Atlas and took Atlas for multiple long walks - Atlas was in heaven. François kept us up-to-date on their activities together and was easy to communicate with!”
“Junho might be the best sitter in the North Cambridge area. When it comes to caring for your dog, the most important aspect is genuine love and care. You can tell that your dog is having a blast by checking the constant photos and live updates from Junho. As you can see from those photos, it's easy to tell how much love my dog was given during this stay. Furthermore, Junho was really flexible in fitting my schedule, which was out of the ordinary due to having a baby. If you need someone to take care of your dog, it's Junho”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newton
Sean was amazing with our six month old puppy, Bourbon. He listened to all our concerns and managed Bourbon who is still in the crazy puppy phase. Bourbon made some great friends during his week and Sean sent videos of Bourbon playingwith lots of friendly dogs. Definitely highly recommend.
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.
Su took such fantastic care of Fiona. From the start, we could tell that she felt at ease. Throughout her stay, her body language in the pictures showed that how comfortable and happy she was. Su kept us well informed, was very attentive to her needs and was very flexible with us. We'd love to have Fiona stay with Su again, thank you for taking such good care of her and giving us peace of mind!
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!

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.
