“Megan regularly fosters kittens from Dakin so I felt very comfortable leaving our two cats in her care, especially since our one cat requires a special diet and pill administration. Really appreciated the super quick communication !”
“John is the best! We have booked with him repeatedly and will continue to. He is quick to respond to communications, professional, personable, and has a great home including fenced in back yard, wonderful assistant (wife), and Dolly who is a 4-legged companion for our dog. Would highly recommend him, without any reservations.”
“Glorymar and her husband are so welcoming, friendly and polite! Billy Ray had a nice time there, and she gave a full report, so I could tell how very much she cared for our precious boy! She was also very accommodating and flexible with our plans.”
“Amy was wonderful! She cared for my anxious Minnie Schnauzer, sending me updates and photos each day, and that set my mind at ease. Instant good vibe from Amy. Clean, comfortable home with a fenced yard, and daily walks. I will definitely call her again.”
“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”
“Katie watched our dog, who is almost 2, for a couple of nights recently. I was very comfortable dropping him off and leaving him with her and her family. I love the at home experience she gave him, as opposed to kennels. Our dog is on special food and she took great care to make sure he didn’t get into her pets’ food. We will definitely use Katie again to take care of Linus.”
“Lissette took great care of our pup, kept him happy and safe! She was prompt in her response times, good communication, so I knew he was in good hands. I’ll definitely keep her in mind for future bookings!”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and currently share my home with an adorable, friendly Chihuahua. This lifelong experience allows me to deeply understand canine behavior, accurately read their body language, and anticipate their needs to ensure total safety at all times.What sets me apart is that your dog will not just be watched—they will truly become part of our family. My Chihuahua is very social and provides wonderful, gentle companionship. For safety and harmony in my home, I specialize in hosting puppies, small dogs, and medium-sized dogs only. I strictly follow your pet's routine and send daily photo updates for your peace of mind! I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have constant supervision and companionship throughout the day. My daily routine revolves around pet care. I take my Chihuahua out for regular potty breaks and playtime in my backyard, as well as fun walks around our quiet neighborhood. Because I am always here, I can easily adapt to your puppy or dog's specific feeding schedule, medication needs, and behavioral routines without any disruption. Safety is my absolute priority. Since I work from home full-time, guest dogs are under my constant supervision. My home is entirely dog-proofed, with no accessible hazards, toxic plants, or small objects. Outside, playtime takes place safely in my secure backyard under a watchful eye.To build trust and maintain harmony, I always introduce new dogs to my friendly Chihuahua slowly on neutral ground. I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, crate training, and routines. I also keep my front door securely locked and always use a leash during neighborhood walks to prevent any escapes. You will receive daily photo updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and loved.
“Our senior rescue pup, Blake, had another great stay with Kristin! Roger and I are so happy to have found someone who truly loves dogs and provides such a safe and enriching environment for the "pack." Blake loves being around other dogs and he is very comfortable being at Kristin's home. Highly recommend!”
“Summer was amazing with our dog, Abby. She provided pictures and updates regularly. Abby seemed really comfortable when we took her to meet Summer. We appreciate all of the snuggle time Abby got and will not hesitate to leave her in Summer’s care again! Thank you for everything, Summer.”
“A safe, loving place to leave our pup! They take such good care of our dog, and Sophie seems right at home with them and their own two pups. We love having this wonderful option so close to home.”
“Kat was so flexible and accommodating for a last minute new booking. super communicative and lovely to work with. She has a lot of experience with dogs with mobility concerns.I know my dog had a great time hanging out with her — I would truly recommend her dog sitting services to anyone who needs it.”
“Wendy was great! I needed a dog sitter at the last minute and came across her profile. I loved that she was so close to my home, and she made the entire experience stress-free. During my dog's stay, I received nightly text updates along with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. This was the first time I'd traveled over 13 hours away from my sweet girl, so I was super nervous. After the first day went so well, all my worries disappeared, and I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing she was in great hands. I will definitely book with Wendy again and maybe next time she'll even get to meet my kitty too!”
“Blue was very happy at MJ's. MJ got back to us when no one else could during the beginning of a holiday weekend. She and her family were very accommodating and my pup felt at home there. Super happy with a great first visit ... I would not hesitate at all to bring him back. Plus her pups are friendly and Blue had a great time with them, including playing with the fam in the yard. He's out cold right now, the sign of a fun and active day.”
“Cruz is amazing! We have a 16 year old dog and she took such wonderful care of him during his stay. She loves the dogs as if they were her own. We cannot thank her enough for everything she does.”
“Sarah was amazing! From the beginning, she was very responsive to all of our questions about the booking. Our dog tends to be shy and can sometimes be aggressive with other dogs, but Sarah made it work, and our dog got along with hers right away. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog was very happy during her stay! We will definitely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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 pet, 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
