“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.”
“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.”
“She is an amazing sitter! She gave frequent updates throughout the day, and really appreciated that she went above and beyond by sending a lot of pictures. Also, I really appreciate her flexibility. If you’re in Boston, highly recommend her as your pet sitter. Go Greta (and Juniper)! 🫶✨”
“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!”
“Awesome! He really helped me out when I was in a bind. Great with communication, following care instructions, and just being patient with my puppy. I will be sending Otis back to him when I need his help.”
“Lindsay is the best! This was our second time using her services, and we feel so comfortable leaving our pup Sammy in her care. She takes great care of Sammy, who is always happy to spend time Bentley. Highly recommend!”
“Jacqueline was great. She watched our dog while we went to a show in town and even though it was only a few hours she sent us photos and took him outside twice! She definitely made him feel comfortable enough to quiet down and snuggle. Would recommend her if you need a dog sitter in the Boston area!”
“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.”
“Anastasia was amazing!! Visiting Boston for my bday Nervous to leave our puppy but she was so incredible with Bella and sent us updates all day! Thank you!”
“Y Tran has taken care of Kiko many times, and I always feel completely at peace leaving him with her. She truly loves Kiko, and it shows in the way she cares for him. She constantly sends me tons of pictures and updates, which makes me feel very reassured and connected while I’m away. She takes Kiko on many walks, gives him lots of attention, and he always looks so happy with her. What I appreciate most is that she does everything with genuine love and care, and it’s very noticeable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive for their pet.”
About: A lot of my experience comes from caring for my girlfriend's two dogs, who are basically my two best friends—a Japanese Chin and a Lhasa-Poo. Whenever her parents are out of town, I'm usually the one taking care of them. We've even watched them for weeks at a time while their family was traveling, so I'm comfortable with everything from feeding and walks to playtime, keeping them on their routine, and making sure they get plenty of attention. I've also known our Lhasa-Poo since she was a puppy. When she first came home, my girlfriend and I spent that entire first week with her, helping her adjust to a new environment, keeping her company at night, and making sure she felt safe and comfortable. More than anything, I'm just a huge dog lover. Whenever I go back home to India, I spend a lot of my time hanging out with the neighborhood stray dogs. They've become part of my visits home. I know every dog is different, and my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'll care for your dog the same way I care for the dogs in my own life: with lots of attention, affection, and plenty of updates so you know they're doing well. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. That means I can take dogs out for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and make sure they're never left alone for long. I love staying active, so I'm always happy to fit in extra walks or outdoor time if your pup enjoys it. I also welcome boarding on most weekends, unless I'm out of town, which isn't very often. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, gets plenty of attention, and sticks to their normal routine while you're away. I live in a very dog-friendly apartment, and I'm very used to sharing my space with dogs. I help care for my girlfriend's two pups regularly, so having dogs around the house is something I'm completely comfortable with. In my home, dogs are welcome to roam freely and make themselves at home—they're welcome on the couch and in any room unless you have different rules you'd like me to follow. I know every dog has their own routine, so I'm happy to stick to whatever they're used to, whether that's crate training, scheduled feeding times, or specific walking routines. Once again, my goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you're away.
“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!”
“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.”
“Andrew and Ellen are super communicative and prompt, and Chips had a great time playing with their pup! Would definitely recommend Andrew and Ellen and I know Chips is looking forward to his next play date!”
“Allie is the best sitter we’ve ever used on Rover. She took such great care of our special needs deaf dog on short notice. She kept us updated and made sure our pup enjoyed his time in her home amongst her own pets. We would certainly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,065 sitters in Roslindale, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
