“So so amazing! Affordable, kind, communicative, so many other positive things! She took such a great care of Colin. He didn’t even want to leave, he was having so much fun! She sent me so many pictures and videos, so I knew Colin was in excellent hands!!”
“Fitz really loves spending time with David. When I dropped him off, his tail wagged so hard and he nearly leapt out of the car to see him. David is always communicative and kind. We are so grateful for him!”
“Jeongeun was amazing! She sent tons of pictures throughout the day and was attentive and responsive. Really appreciated her care. Luka had a great day with Jeongeun. We will be reaching out again.”
“Tae was terrific! This was the first time that Tae took care of our 2-year-old puppy, Sammy. Tae was very quick to respond, totally flexible, and a pleasure to work with. It was very easy to set up a Meet & Greet, and Sammy and I both felt very comfortable playing together at a park as we got to know Tae and her doodle, Udon. After the daycare, I received a detailed report card with great pictures, and Sammy came home happy and tired. I would highly recommend Tae's services and look forward to the next time that she can care for our pup.”
“Emma was great with our 12 year old cockapoo. She was communicative, on time, and sent lots of pictures. Quincy loved his time with her and we'll be using her again!”
“Maple had an excellent stay with Edward and Shayna! What a lovely couple! They took excellent care of her and were attentive to her special needs as a puppy. I highly recommend for those with daycare needs in the back bay.”
“Jennifer and Darren are both wonderful. She even made homemade treats for a friend and shared them with Kingsley, sent him some for home and he loved them! Thanks for being flexible as well, I was running late for pick-up and she was super kind about it.”
“Alix is the best! She is highly communicative, responsible, and flexible when things come up. Most importantly she’s wonderful with my senior pup and all of his quirks. I can rest easy whenever she’s taking care of him knowing that he’ll be in safe hands. I can’t recommend Alix highly enough!”
“Emma was really great! She always sent me updates on how it was going and was flexible about timing with my work schedule. My dog is super shy but she warmed up to Emma quickly :)”
“Sandra went above and beyond to make both me and Koda feel so comfortable. She was communicative, reliable, and caring. I could tell Koda loved her and had an amazing time. I was so impressed with Sandra and will absolutely be reaching out to her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Emmy! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs and have been caring for animals my whole life. I currently have two cats of my own and have experience with dogs of all sizes — from tiny Yorkies to giant Malamute Huskies. I also worked at a veterinary hospital for 1.5 years as an assistant and receptionist, giving me hands-on experience with vet care, administering medications, and responding to emergencies. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, tiny, or large, I’m comfortable providing loving, attentive care tailored to their unique needs! I’m a grad student about to enter summer break so I have all of the free time in the world to tailor to your pets needs. I would love nothing more than to make a new furry friend this summer. I have a decently sized two bedroom apartment—and as a pet parent myself—no room or furniture is off limits to your fur baby unless requested by you. I have several grassy parks in the area ideal for walking.
“Banapsha and Sid were so wonderful with me and Zephyr. I had a last minute request for daycare and they were willing to take us on short notice.. They really went the extra mile to make sure my pup was well taken care of. Banapsha was so kind to keep me updated every few hours with pictures and updates of Zeph. Zeph looked like he had a blast the entire time playing ball and tug. I'm definitely a bit of a helicopter mom when it comes to my pup and Banapsha was up to do a meet and greet beforehand so as to put me at ease since this was our first time together. She asked tons of questions and really took the time to take note of my pups quirks. I could really tell how much she absolutely loved pups and how well Zeph took to her when we met. So so grateful to have found someone I can trust to take care of my pup when I'm away. Ill definitely be back again soon!!!!”
“Kelsey is Loki's go-to sitter. She takes great care of Loki, and takes walks with him and provides good stimulation throughout the day. He is so happy when he figures out we're headed to Kelsey's house.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover, the kind who smiles at every pup that passes by! I know that dogs aren’t just pets; they’re family, best friends, and little bundles of personality. My priority is gaining your trust just as much as your dog’s, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and become their next favorite human! OH and I know communication is KEY so better save my contact! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day, I love adding furry friends to my routine. I’m reliable and can adjust my schedule to match your pet’s needs while you're away. Just ask away... I have a cozy space in my room where pets can relax, enjoy treats, and get plenty of love. If allowed, they’re absolutely welcome to hop on the bed for snuggles! I will also ensure to maintain constant communication with you for peace of mind.

“Laura is a wonderful dogsitter! She calmed down my anxious pup and sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. My pup came home happy and tired. I'll definitely book again!”

Yan was SO wonderful! Very attentive to text and sent lots of photos during doggy daycare. Flexible on hours and fed him lunch each day. Bodhi looked very happy and well cared for at pickup. Capped of our visit with an adorable Polaroid of our dog’s face. Would definitely work with Yan again!

Sarah was great and did such a wonderful job with Ozzie! She was very knowledgeable about dogs and labs specifically with experience with them, and was a great help this morning! :) She kept in touch with how things were going and was responsible and caring. This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy to have found someone I can fully trust with Ozzie when care is needed. :)
Andrea has been lovely to work with, my dog Kiko has really enjoyed daycare with her and is always happy when I pick him up. She is very reliable and communicative and has made our first Rover experience a very good one. I will definitely continue to come to Andrea when Kiko needs a sitter!
Lucy did a wonderful job sitting my dog and was fantastic to work with. She listened carefully to my care instructions and asked appropriate questions about how my dog would adjust to her home environment. She's a very active person who can give your dog as much exercise as needed. I would feel totally comfortable having Lucy care for my dog again!
