“Casey and Phil were amazing! This was the first time leaving our pup with someone other than family. They did everything to make it a comfortable stay for her and she did awesome. Casey sent daily updates which made our vacation stress free because we knew our pup was having a great time. Definitely will book them again and would highly recommend Casey and Phil.”

“Ciara was incredible with my dog and truly went above and beyond. She kept him active with regular walks and made sure he was entertained with toys and attention throughout the stay. She was super communicative the entire time, giving me updates and keeping me completely in the loop, which gave me a ton of peace of mind. I could tell she genuinely cared for him as if he were her own. Exceptional experience, would absolutely book again.”

“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”

“It was my first time using services from Rover.com as we have always had someone house/dog sit when we travel. The meet and greet went very well and we felt comfortable leaving our dogs with Breanna while we went on vacation. She communicated with us almost daily, sending messages, photos and videos about how they were doing. This made us feel at ease knowing they were happy and well taken care of, especially being their first time away from home. I would definitely use Breanna again.”

“We were looking for a place to board our special needs Golden and stumbled upon the River app. It was our first time boarding him and we didn’t want to leave him at a kennel. Parker took to Heather right away when we went for our initial visit, and enjoyed exploring one of the many fenced in areas of her property. Her experience with animals, particularly ones of the special needs variety, was what drew me to her. She kept me updated on how Parker was doing (response time was fast) and sent pictures of him on vacation at the farm!! Parker loved staying with her, and will be back again!!”

“Rebecca did such a great job caring for my boy Cody! I went on vacation for 10 days and was super anxious because I never left Cody with a sitter for that long. Rebecca reassured me that Cody will be well taken care of and she did not disappoint! She sent me daily photos and updates on how Cody was doing. She took him on walks everyday! He was a very happy and comfortable boy there! She genuinely cared for him like he was her own! If I ever went away again and needed a sitter I would definitely be contacting Rebecca again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 9. I’ve owned aggressive / reactive dogs, dogs who need a lot of management, sport dogs, working dogs, and other animals with special needs. My personal dogs are elderly now and need more special care and I conduct all of it. I do drop ins, dog walking, and house sitting by myself but for boarding dogs me and my mom do that together (we are Angie’s pet care) that way our boarding dogs are with at least one person 24/7. I have a well fenced in yard and basement entirely dedicated to dogs! You can look us up at Angie’s pet care (Middleboro Mass). But our boarding dogs are allowed to be on the other floors with us (only when supervised) but someone is home majority of the day.

“Monica was absolutely amazing with Bruno! This was our first time leaving our puppy, so we were definitely a little nervous, but Monica made the whole experience so much easier. She gave us great suggestions to help Bruno feel comfortable and took such wonderful care of him. She kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely recommend Monica to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pup like family!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a very young age I love all different kinds of dogs and cats. I have a nice set up in my home and I have a fenced in yard so it feels a lot safer and private :) I have a quiet neighborhood and lots of places to walk ! I always provide lots of photos and constant communication with pet owners. I also helped my mom board dogs growing up so I also have experience in that as well. I’m currently in school and have mostly online classes so I’m pretty flexible. I also have a car that I can transport if need be. I love walking them and letting them play outside in the fenced yard! I have a dog proofed home:) I’m open to all requests, more communication the better !

About: My husband and I both grew up with dogs and had the privilege of fostering several dogs while living in Rwanda for 2 years. This past May, we unexpectedly lost our beloved 11-year-old dog. She was so much more than a pet—she was truly a member of our family and had grown up alongside our children, ages 9 and 6. We’re not quite ready to fill the space she left behind, so we thought Rover might be a wonderful way to spend time with dogs again while giving another family peace of mind knowing their dog is being cared for and loved. Your dog is allowed on our furniture and has access to a large fenced in yard! Our dog was fear aggressive and we were unable to utilize a boarding facility. We can sympathize that leaving your dog can be difficult. We’ll treat them like one of our own—with lots of affection, patience, attention, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Having fostered dogs with very different personalities and backgrounds, we know that every dog has their own needs, quirks, and way of showing love. We’d love to welcome your dog into our home and give them the same love and care we’ve always given our own. Note: For the comfort and safety of your pup, we only care for dogs from one family at a time. We’re happy to accommodate two dogs from the same family, but we do not mix dogs from different households during the same stay. I work in healthcare on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM–11:00 PM, and Saturdays I work a 12 hour shift and am home all other days. On the days I work, my husband is home by 2:30 PM, and he is home with our children on Saturdays. Our family does have occasional evening or weekend commitments for our children’s sports, but these are typically short outings, and we are rarely away from home for more than about four hours at a time. We’re happy to work with you to make sure your dog’s routine and needs fit comfortably into our schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule the majority of the week, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and breaks throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate a dog who needs more frequent potty breaks or simply prefers not to be alone for long periods (we've been there). We have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run to their heart's content. We live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and have the perfect mile walking loop. Your dog is welcome to sleep in our bed, lounge on the couch and take a snooze on our deck.

Second time leaving our little Teddy with Alena and honestly I can say she makes us feel extremely comfortable leaving him with her! I will continue to use her when we go out of town. Not to mention how much she takes care of him. Our flight was delayed by hours and she insisted we take our time and gave us whatever option to come pick him up. We love her so much!

We were very happy with the care that Harley received from Ciara. We were away for 12 days and never worried once about Harley. It was a comforting feeling as we had never left her that long before. Ciara sent us photos of Harley throughout our vacation to show how happy she was. Our vacation was extra special because we had no worries about our girl.

I highly recommend Breanna. She was great with my anxious dog. She took time to make sure she understood his personality before we booked with her. She took great care of him while we were away and sent us many updates so we could relax knowing he was happy. Great experience and will definitely be back next time we travel.

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 Oakland 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 Oakland.

<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 Oakland 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 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.
