“Yulia was very sweet and kind; and amazing with Kash. I was a bit nervous as this was his first leaving him with a sitter for the weekend but surprisingly he did great. And I believe it was how Yulia treated him so he felt safe. Definitely will rebook☺️☺️!!”
“Hanna did great with our dog. We had an emergency situation and had to fly out of town. She was flexible with our flights/ times. She sent us updates often(we were worried because we didn’t have time for a meet and greet) with pictures which gave us peace of mind. She didn’t mind his need to sleep in the bed. When my husband went to pick him up he was excited to see him but then ran back in the house ! So I would say that was a happy dog! Will use Hanna next time We have to travel”
“Zelun and his wife took AMAZING care of my dog while I was gone for over a week! They sent pictures and videos, took him on a little day trip (pre approved) and definitely loved my pup as their own while I was away :)”
“Arnav is great with communication from the beginning and throughout. He provided pictures and updates throughout the stay. His family has a nice fenced-in back yard. He and his family seem to love dogs and have enjoyed our pup. We have a pretty large play pen that our pup is comfortable sleeping in, and Arnav and his family were very flexible with the setup (we set the pen up in their dining room). Highly recommend him!”
“Paul was an excellent host/sitter for my 13 year old Jack Russell. He spent time with me and Benny upon drop off. I instantly sensed his expertise and comfort with her. I was at ease leaving her with him. Paul understood my concerns for my dog while in his care. I liked his confidence and handling Benny during this meet and greet on this first 24 hour stay. Paul sent a couple of texts and a pic of how things were going and I appreciated his matter of fact information sharing. I was totally pleased with this first experience of leaving Benny with an unfamiliar person and home. Couldn’t have gone better for all involved. Definitely will try for Paul for any future needs and I highly recommend Paul to others.”
“Jen and Robert were amazing with our lab Abby! She was nervous to stay at a new place, and they were so incredibly patient and cooperative. Abby had a wonderful time and we would absolutely leave her with Jen and Robert again.”
“Maddy was so wonderful with my dog Jester!! We got tons of pictures and videos and you could tell how happy Jester was staying there. I was assured the whole time that my dog was well taken care of. We will use her again!”
“Sushi had a great time with Katerina and Roland. She loved the playtime and hike with their family. They were very communicative and sent frequent updates on Sushi through the day. I would definitely book them again to take care of Sushi.”
“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!”
“Jeehye and her husband took amazing care of our 11-year-old dog! They walked him twice a day and were so thoughtful about his comfort, even setting up cushions so he could move around easily at night. They also sent us lots of photos, which we really appreciated :) It made us feel even more at ease knowing he was doing well. I’m sure he had a really happy week with them! We’d definitely leave our dog with them again!”
“The best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Christina was extremely flexible and communicative! She provided photos of our pup having the best time all weekend and frankly our dog was less than impressed with us when we picked her up. Will definitely be booking her again.”
“Tiffany took SUCH great care of our puppy. We dropped off our very energetic 8 month old with Tiffany for a weekend while we went out of town and we knew our pup was in great hands. This was our first time leaving her with a sitter so we were unsure what to expect. Tiffany made us feel so confident and comfy and sent lots of pics. She clearly knows what she’s doing and truly loves dogs.”
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“Joji had a great weekend with Princess. I always worry about leaving my pup for a few days, but I got updates and photos to ensure Joji was having a good time. I’m glad Joji got full attention during his stay.”
“My dog was so excited to go back to Todd’s for an overnight stay. He had the best time whenever he goes there, gets plenty of walks, lots of attention, and comes home such a happy camper. Todd is a trusted sitter for us and I will continue to book with him whenever I need somewhere for my dog to stay!”
“Gina and Marc provided excellent care for our dog while we were away. They communicated clearly and timely when it was appropriate. Very nice couple. I highly recommend them.”
“Mandy is cheerful and easy-going. She provided photos of my pet regularly and confirmed that meals were consumed (since our pet refuses to eat at times) and exercise was given. The fenced yard and deck are ample for fresh air breaks and Ruby seemed very much at home during her stay.”

Christina and her family boarded our pup for a week and were wonderful. Christina sent us photos and/or videos daily, made it clear that our dog was doing well, and took really good care of her. They followed our instructions about care for her and we were reassured about leaving our older pup with Christina.and family. We came home to a well tended dog. If Christina is available we will be booking her in November.
After a long weekend with Sean our springer came back happy and energetic. Which isn’t always the case. Sometimes when we pick her up from other places after travel she is low energy and takes a few days to get back to her normal self. So I appreciate Sean making her feel comfortable and happy while there.
Samuel and his wife took a great care of our dog while we were enjoying vacation! Rex returned happy and loved, and a bit spoiled:). I can tell from his smiling pictures that he was enjoying his time with this very nice couple! Thank you Sam and Morgan! We definitely will come back!
We had a great experience with Maisy caring for our dog, Cosmo! We booked on short notice, and she was communicative from the start and worked us into her schedule. Cosmo had a wonderful time playing with her dog, Waffles, and Maisy sent lots of photos and updates that showed us they were having a blast. When our flights home were delayed, Maisy was incredibly flexible and worked with us on the logistics of an alternate pickup time. We really appreciated her love and care for Cosmo, and we would absolutely book with her again!
We love to travel, so finding a sitter who truly loves having our dog was very important to us. Hope is exactly the person we were looking for! She loves our dog, Louie, and Louie adores her, too. Louie has a delicate digestive system (pancreatic issue) and needs medication with every meal. If he doesn't take his meds properly, he loses weight and gets sick very quickly. In the past, when we left Louie with other sitters, we would come back to find that he had lost weight and had stomach issues. This time with Hope, he was completely healthy and thriving! Also, usually when a dog gets stressed, they chug water as soon as their owners return. Louie didn't do that at all this time—he was super relaxed and actually seemed to miss Hope! We will definitely bring Louie to visit Hope again and look forward to booking her for our next trip. Thank you so much, Hope, we deeply appreciate your wonderful care for Louie!
Zach was great with my dog Poppy. She is a bouncy, high energy and somewhat anxious dog. She does not always take to people but she loved Zach right away! Zach stayed overnight, fed her and let her out the first evening and then took her for a long walk/jog the next day. He left the house in perfect shape. He is very personable and easy to communicate with. I recommend him highly.
Jun Ho and Hanna always make Petunia feel at home. She spent a full day with them and their dog, Boki, and was so comfy she had to be called multiple times before she came out to go home (it was late and she had already settled onto the couch to snooze). That's how comfy, cozy, and safe she felt!
Mayra was very lovely to work with and was SUPER flexible and accommodating. I was kind of a pain in the butt given all my schedule changes 😂. But she was more than happy to accommodate with watching Kira. Took a load of stress off knowing my pup was in good hands and i didnt have to worry. She also provided tons of pictures and kept me up to date on how she was doing. Definitely recommend her to anyone!

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 North Waltham home-away-from-home, 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 North Waltham.
<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 North Waltham 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 , 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 .
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.
