“Alan took excellent care of my young dog who is something of an escape artist. Pilot enjoyed his time with Alan and I enjoyed knowing that Pilot was happy and safe.”
“Jamie was great! Was flexible with an early pickup, communicated quickly, and took good care of our pup. Benji immediately made himself at home and seemed sad to go, he enjoyed his time with Jamie and Sammie.”
“What an incredible and warm-hearted dog mom!! Thank you for taking such great care of my Chico while I was at work and for being so flexible with my schedule!”
“Arianna watched my 5 month old puppy for a full day. She was very responsive to all communication and flexible when plans changed at the last minute. He came home happy and relaxed and we would definitely use her again!”
“Willow loved her time with Suzanne. Suzanne did a meet-and-greet in advance with us to learn about Willow. Then they spent their walking and playing and Willow was happy to come back and see Suzanne again!”
“Kayla took great care of Ruby while dog sitting. She provided plenty of updates and my pup had fun day with Kayla and her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kayla again for sitting!”
“Mayu loves getting dropped off to Atticia’s for daycare. She’s walked, fed, rested, and loved all day and comes home ready to knock out. I’m also so happy Mayu has a dog friend with Aurora- I think it’s really helped with her manners and socialization skills. Thank you for all you do, Atticia!”
“Shuhua is kind and very professional. Hermes ( my little Yorkie) was very happy with her. She is trust worthy and is a great communicator. I am sure Hermes is missing her companion ship. I will recommend her without any hesitancy. Thank you Sue.”
“Ling & Ye took great care of our pup, Truffles! They sent a lot of photos throughout the day and kept us posted. They also took Truffles for multiple rounds of walks.”
“Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.”
“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Sunil is so kind and attentive, and devoted to making your dog happy. She was careful to ask about treats and how to make my shy pup comfortable. Highly recommended and I hope to use her again soon.”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was in 5th grade. Whether I went to the owners house or they came to mine, I treated them with love and kindness. I’ve worked with little, medium, and big dogs, and they have been long term clients! People actually call me the dog whisperer! I work from home every day so i will be home with your pups! they can relax with me around the house or go out with me for errands or anything else! I treat them with love and plenty of play time! Dogs are allowed on our beds and furniture, so they will get lots of cuddles! I allow them to explore the house so they can get comfortable in the new environment and let them warm up to me so they are not scared. I have a big park just right across from me, I am in a very walkable neighborhood, so they will get great walks. I also have a big back yard they can lounge around!
“Our Cockapoo pup had a wonderful time with Jess and her family. She kept me up to date on Coco’s activities through the day with pictures and communication. Will definitely use Jess to board Coco in the future.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner myself, and for the past two years, I’ve had the joy of caring for other people’s dogs. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else, so I want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be cared for, loved, and treated like part of my family while they’re with me. I work from home full-time as a mental health therapist, so I’m able to be around throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have someone nearby to keep them company. I also understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and playtime, while others are happiest snuggling up or simply having someone close by. I take the time to get to know each dog, learn their routines, and help them feel comfortable and at home. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you’re away, like they’re staying with family. Because I work from home full-time, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I am able to give frequent attention, companionship, walks, and care throughout the day. I also have a backyard for your dog to run around and get some play time in. Safety and comfort are very important to me. I love creating a calm, loving, and structured environment where each dog can feel at home. I carefully follow each pet parent's instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty routines, walks, sleeping arrangements, and any other individual needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Roslindale
Alan and Ying were amazing!!! We were so grateful for their flexibility as we figured out our schedule for when we needed to drop Pear off and even more grateful for the incredible care they took of Pear. They were communicative and kept us informed of what Pear was getting up to and how she was doing, and Pear absolutely loved her stay with them.
Here’s a natural, polite English version you can send to the sitter: “I was a bit nervous because she’s still a puppy, but it turned out to be unnecessary worry. I usually pay close attention to how she is after coming home from being left with someone, and Corie seemed very relaxed and happy, so I felt reassured. I’m thinking of booking again next month.” If you want it a bit warmer / more appreciative: I was a bit nervous since she’s still a puppy, but it turned out to be unnecessary worry. I usually watch her closely after she comes back from being away, and Corie seemed very comfortable and happy, which really reassured me. Thank you for taking such good care of her — I’m planning to book again next month.
Mirabel was amazing with our crazy 8 month old lab. He has so much energy. We appreciate her time and dedication to him today! She took him on a walk and did commands. He loved her! My husband and I are extremely satisfied with the care that was provided for our fur baby!
Teddy lover staying with Lauren for day care! I will definitely be using her again on a regular basis for my long shifts. She always responded so quickly and had pictures of Teddy just hanging out or on their walks. I love that she is close to a park so Teddy can walk around some green space and not always on the busy hot city sidewalks. Thanks Lauren!
Laine took care of Ziggy two days in a row and it was a blast! Ziggy loved being back to Laine's place every time. I especially appreciate Laine for walking Ziggy during her stay. I could tell Ziggy got what she needed. We'll be back and absolutely recommend Laine for dog sitting and walking.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Roslindale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
