“Alyson was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates while watching my cat and it was clear he was having a great time. She asked questions and was super responsive - would definitely recommend booking with her and I will book again!”
“Anna is absolutely our dream sitter for our very playful and energetic border collie, Atlas. She and her husband gave Atlas so much love and attention everyday. Anna voluntarily sent us many lovely photos and videos of our pup as well as detailed updates daily. They loved Atlas as if she was their own, and we could tell how happy Atlas was staying with them. We felt at ease every day knowing that Atlas was under the care of such a wonderful and caring couple. We believe Atlas was on her own vacation! Thank you again. Atlas cannot wait to see them again. 😄”
“Alix was amazing! She looked after Loki and took care of his special needs, she was friendly and caring. Will definitely seek her again when we need dog sitting support again.”
“Yizi sent lots of pictures, responded promptly to any questions. My small dog was very happy to arrive at her apartment and was well rested and content when I picked him up. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Lauren was a great buddy for my cat this weekend! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter and would book with her again.”
“Dohwee did such a great job! Plenty of exercise, plenty of updates, plenty of belly rubs! Indie was so well cared for she almost didn't want to come home!! Thank you SO MUCH!!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“Anh is fabulous. Prompt with communication and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy with her. She sends the cutest pictures and videos throughout the stay.

I will definitely be rebooking the next time I need a dog sitter!”
“Anthony was awesome. Very easy for drop off and pickup. He sent us tons of pictures while our dog was with and updates. Our dog Zoey was super happy running around with the others there and cuddling with Anthony a lot. We appreciate him and his service. We definitely recommend him and will be using him again in the future. Thank you for a great experience Anthony.”
“Tyler and his fiancé were wonderful. Kai was very happy and had a great time. Tyler kept me updated with pictures and updates while we were away!”
“Our 2 dogs stayed with Nally for a week while we were away. She offered to meet us prior to the booking, which I took her up on since I don’t like to book blindly and we had never met. Her communications were always prompt and she sent pictures while we were away. She was very flexible with coordinating pick up and drop off. Both of my guys came back happy and tired! They were happy to have some other dogs to play with too. I would not hesitate to re-book with her.”

“Erica is absolutely amazing! Murphy stayed with her for 7 days and there wasn’t a single worry. She gave us daily updates about his activity which included many outdoor walks and play sessions. She treated Murphy like her own and he was more relaxed than ever when he came home. We trust Erica to watch Murphy every time we go away!”
“Rebecca provided the sweetest, most consistent updates while watching our dog Jib! She gave all of the exercise, attention, and love that we give her and we could not ask for a better sitter.”

Roxbury dog parents share their Rover experiences
Awesome experience. Gunner can be a handful and we were nervous to leave him because we haven’t boarded him before. Gunner was so comfortable with this family and they have such great personalities to handle all types of dogs. We got pictures and updates throughout the days and Gunner had a great time. Definitely recommend!
Marina was an amazing sitter for our mini goldendoodle over the weekend! She was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs from the meet and greet to the hosting. Our dog came back happy and well-cared for. Would definitely book with Marina again!
Anthony was so great with our last minute boarding request and sent many pictures to keep us updated! Would 100% recommend!
Kody was exceptional! He met us ahead of time with his sweet Golden Retriever (Milo) for a meet and greet before booking. He was flexible with drop off and pick up, and treated our dog like family. He regularly checked in with pictures and even left us with a hand written card and cute printed photo upon picking our dog back up. We will definitely book with him again!
Karen watched Quinn for 3 nights and was great! She was super communicative, sending updates and pictures about how Quinn’s weekend was going. Quinn even got to go to a dog friendly beach - which she loved! I would definitely use Karen again in the future.
Heidi did a great job with our dog Evie (who is a very anxious dog with strangers). She kept us updated and Evie was very happy during her stay.
Lyv and Alieu were amazing! It was Monty's first Rover experience/first time staying overnight with new people, and he's still adapting to life outside the shelter, so naturally, we were a bit nervous. Lyv was very communicative the entire weekend, and it was very apparent that they have a ton of experience with all types of dogs. Monty is very finicky, and we know he can be a difficult house guest at times, but it was clear that Lyv adapted quickly to his needs and read his emotions very well. Monty had a bit of a tough time one night, but Lyv communicated with me immediately and was so kind and understanding about his less-than-ideal behavior. As a first-time dog mom with an anxious dog who is still exhibiting new behaviors randomly, I really appreciated Lyv's kindness, care, and compassion.
Mariah was awesome with my dog Callie! Super easy to communicate with, gave great updates, and I could tell Callie was in good hands the whole time. Would definitely book again
Ripley LOVED his time with Courtney! She was super accommodating to all of his neuroses and he had some serious cuddle time. Ripley loved all the 1:1 attention. Thank you so much!
Alan, you are the GOAT of dog sitters. Thank you for the updates, photos, videos and constant vigilance for the safety and happiess of my doggy, Henry! We are 100% reaching out to Alan and Ying again!
Rusty adored Katherine and I wouldn't hesitate to have her watch him again! I appreciated Katherine’s daily updates as well. Highly recommend!
Excellent. My kobie seems very fond of her so I have nothing but good things to say. Would recommend 👌
Jim was such a gentleman! Took our little guy for 6 hrs on a last minute day trip to the city. Thankful for such a great experience in the city!
Juliana was great! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter on Rover and we felt very comfortable with her. She sent updates with photos each day.
Gil and Yerina were wonderful with our puppy Stella! They made her feel at home in their place and were very attentive to all her needs, especially since she’s had some health issues recently requiring medication. They are communicative and send regular updates. Would recommend :)
Nalix is amazing with our dog Charcoal, who is usually very sensitive and has separation anxiety. We trust her completely and Nalix sends regular photos and videos in which Charcoal is having the best time. Nalix is always communicative and willing to be flexible if we are running late from delayed flights or traffic. We recommend Nalix wholeheartedly!
Naomi went above and beyond and took great care of our somewhat needy Yorkie. I would definitely use her again.
Erica is an incredible sitter—a rare combination of caring, diligent, and detail-oriented. She created such a wonderful environment for our dog, Gus. She was meticulous about his needs, schedule, and preferences, and even made sure she understood the type of environment he feels most comfortable in. Her communication was amazing—we received several updates a day and always felt in the loop about how Gus was doing. We were completely relaxed while traveling, knowing he was in her care. When we picked Gus up, it was clear he had been well cared for and had gotten very comfortable with Erica and her home. We can’t wait to book with her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a truly thoughtful and reliable sitter!
Emma was great—fast with response, shared how Bori was doing at the end of each day, simply made me hands-off from worrying about him. It’s so sweet of her that she left me a sweet card with a cute Polaroid photo of Bori as a souvenir!
Rashelys was an Amazing, Loving, Caring pet sitter for my Chihuahua Bailey, she kept in contact daily thru photos and videos, if I text she would reply immediately, Bailey was well taken care of and I could see thru photos and videos that she was comfortable and happy in her home😊 I will surely re-book with Rashelys, she will be my go to pet sitter anytime I will need care in the future , Rashelys is very Loving, Educated, Professional person and sitter, experienced in administrating medication to my Bailey. Once again Thank You Rashelys for your Great work, I truly appreciate it 😊❤️
