“Joe was fantastic with our two dogs while we were out of the country. He was always in communication with us, sent pictures, and we could tell our dogs were well cared for upon pick up. We highly recommend Joe and will use him again when we need help with the pups!”
“Alan & Ying were wonderful, attentive, and took such great care of Charli while we were away! ❤️ We especially appreciated the daily photos and videos, along with the extra attention they gave to cleaning her eyes. Charli seemed so happy, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands — we truly appreciate everything and would highly recommend Alan & Ying and plan on using them again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about this family and their care of Sadie. We were in a tough spot and ar 8pm the night before we left on vacation she had an emergency procedure which required extra care, medicine, and monitoring. They stepped up and took care of all of it, sending us pictures daily to show how she was healing, etc. And a lovely family with kids with love dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Todd was awesome! Very communicative and attentive, and clearly seemed to provide a great environment for Beau to stay. He came home clearly taken care of, calm, and happy.”
“Jennifer is phenomenal!! I got so many adorable pupdates throughout the day, from how our pup was feeling, to photos of him smelling some pretty flowers (really!! it was the cutest!), to videos of him playing fetch. I love seeing that he’s having a great time, and it’s absolutely a doggie vacation when he’s at Jennifer’s. Highly highly recommend!”
“Our dog Gus has stayed with Sue many times and he absolutely adores her! Almost as much as we do :) She is amazing with him and we always know he’s in great hands when he spends time at her house.”
“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!”
“Ashley and family made my pup welcome in their home. Her two dogs were so chill and made space for my guy, who was easily 10 times their weight. I appreciated Ashley’s flexibility with scheduling and her easygoing approach.”
“Just moved to town and started having Krystal & William watch Thor. This was only his 2nd time with them, but he LOVES his home away from home! Got tons of pics and vids of him playing and being pampered while I was away. Would definitely TRUST them anytime with him. And absolutely recommend K&W to any friends/family.”
“Lee was great !!! Always sent picture and video updates throughout his stay . My dog had a great time and I would definitely book Lee whenever I needed him !!! I highly recommend him !!”
“This was at least the 4th time (I lost count) Melissa has taken care of our beloved attention seeking, affectionate, squirrel chasing beautiful dog. Melissa is kind and thoughtful. She proactively offered extra days when our flight was cancelled due to snow! She takes extraordinarily good care of our dog. I can’t praise her enough!”
“Olive had a great stay with Eliza! She was well taken care of and quickly settled in. Eliza is super easy to communicate with and sent pictures throughout the stay.”
“Our dog, tofu, loved staying at JingJing’s home. She was so communicative and mindful of his house training needs. We also loved the picture updates. At pickup, she even had observations to share which we really appreciated. Tofu will definitely stay there again!”
“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”
“My very sweet, energetic and sometimes anxious Ruby had another very happy stay with Michelle. I can tell how much Michelle loves dogs in how thoughtful she is interacting with them. Although I miss Ruby while I'm away, it is so so comforting knowing she is with Michelle, & getting such wonderful attention & care. Thank you, Michelle!!!”
“Will and his wife Kayla did a fantastic job boarding our pup Ruby for a long weekend! They were very accommodating in meeting us a few days before the stay, and we were instantly put at ease with our decision to book with them. They took amazing care of Ruby and sent many photos and updates throughout the weekend. Ruby has a blast playing with Scout and Chase and I’m sure she will be hoping to play with them again soon! Highly recommend Will and Kayla and would definitely book again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newton
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.

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.
