“Kwangwoo was great with Bentley! Super communicative, easy to find times for pick up and drop off. He also sent some fun pictures and kept us updated of Bentley's day. Everything was packed up and ready to go when we came to pick up Bentley! Would definitely recommend and work with Kwangwoo again”

“Isabella was great! She attended to my dog perfectly and was extremely communicative, updating with lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend and would definitely use her again!”

“We feel so lucky and grateful to have met Jamie and her family. Our dog Jaxon had the best time and we never had to worry about him. While we were busy moving our college student, Jamie and her family made it so easy for us to focus on that, knowing Jaxon was cared for and happy.”

“I entrusted Noel to take care of my puppy for a week and she’s been very helpful, patient, and communicative! We kept in touch during the time I was away and she shared pictures and videos which gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was in great hands! I am extremely appreciative of Noel and how wonderful she has been to both my puppy and I.”

“Steven was great with our dog. We boarded her with him for a long weekend She is a nervous girl and often barks at new people. When I dropped her off he took her leash and her treats and immediately got her to sit and calm down. During her stay with Steven he sent us photos, which I appreciate. When I picked her up she was in good spirits and wagging her tail which is always a good sign. We will definitely be using Steven's services again.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Kaitlyn! She has been super responsive and attentive throughout my dog’s stay. Communication was seamless, which has given us great peace of mind while traveling. We especially appreciated her flexibility. She was available on short notice and very accommodating with scheduling. I would highly recommend Kaitlyn!”

“Alyson is truly amazing! She gave us updates regularly and I felt so happy knowing our dog was in a loving place! Our dog was the happiest she’s ever been after picking her up from a sitter, so I know she was really well cared for! Will definitely plan to use Alyson again for sitting!”

“Christina was amazing! I booked last minute and she was eager to take care of Beru for the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates. Beru has some quirks and Christina was more than capable and happy to accommodate Beru’s personality. Would 100% book with her again!”

“Zwany and Leandro took absolutely fantastic care of our two dogs Cooper and Maddie! They provided us with daily updates and lots of great photos to show how great the two pups were doing. We also received really nice report cards with a summary of their stay and wonderful Polaroid photos of each pup which are now on our fridge. We will for sure be booking with them for future pet sitting!”

“Tae is fantastic! My dog bonded with her quickly. She was excellent with communication and sent enough pictures on my long trip to help me feel connected to what my dog was up to, even though i wasn't there. Her dog us very gentle and friendly and i think he also helped my dog feel more secure. When i picked my dog up she was relaxed and happy . I would recommend Tae and will definitely reach out again”

“Emily was fantastic, sending frequent photo updates of my pup having a great time while I was away. It was such a relief to know he was in great hands :)”

“Absolutely amazing job with my little Lexi! She sent lots of pictures and updates everyday. Lexi had a blast going on adventures with her new besties. So much so that she will be staying with Lorena next weekend too. 10/10 experience, would highly recommend.”

“Ellis had a short stay with Emily and Daniel but will definitely be back! They sent great pics and updates and were flexible when our plans shifted slightly. Their dog seemed super sweet too and it looks like the pups got along well!”

“Tyler is a terrific person to leave your dog with. He communicates during the stay, is east to get in touch with, and of course has a very positive relationship with your dog. He enjoys them. I would leave my dog with him and feel very secure he would be in a friendly, safe place.”

“Gabriela watched my Suzi Q for 6 days. She sent photos each day and provided updates. Suzi Q likes to eat anything and everything. Gabriela was very attentive and made sure she was safe.”

Roxbury dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mindy was the best dog sitter we could’ve hoped for! She was so kind, attentive, and caring! She sent copious amounts of pictures and videos, so we knew throughout the entire time that our pup was doing great and it is clear how much she loves what she does! I had such peace of mind throughout the entire time! I would highly, highly recommend her!

Erica is an absolutely gem of a sitter! She puts so much thought and consideration into her care of our Tupelo and it really shows. Erica is one of our pup’s best buddies and they are always so excited to see each other, putting us at ease for every trip. Aside from wanting to keep her all to ourselves, we cannot recommend Erica enough!

Emma was wonderful with our girl Gracie! Emma was working from home during our trip, so she was able to give Gracie lots of attention and accommodate her need for lots of walks and exercise. Emma was very flexible with pickup and drop-off times as I worked through my flight plans. It was great to see pictures of Gracie looking calm and snuggling. Gracie hasn't done much boarding, but she came home relaxed and happy!
