“We selected Hugo & Julia to board our black lab, Beau for 5 days. He had a wonderful time under their care. He stayed with other dogs and got to run and play outside with them. Hugo & Julia sent updates and pictures often of Beau having a wonderful time during his stay. We will definitely use them again when we need to travel. Highly recommended!!”
“Buddy received lots of attention, had a great time, and was well taken care of. I got pictures everyday. He was boarded for a week and a half and I would recommend.”
“Alexis took such wonderful care of our Goldendoodle, Walden, and treated him like one of her own. Walden and Brewer became fast friends. It was clear he was happy and well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust Alexis with Walden again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pup.”
“Erin was fantastic! My labradoodle stayed for a few days and got to go on walks with her doggies and play in her yard! I appreciate that she sent me pictures and that my pup had a comfortable and loving place to stay! :)”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs, but now that I’ve moved out, I don’t have one. I love having a furry friend to spend time with and play with. Besides taking care of my own pets, I’ve also had experience caring for my elderly grandparents and working with children for over seven years. I always prioritize my pet’s needs. If my pet eats at 6 am, I’m up and feeding it at 6 am. I also like to let my pet out every 2-3 hours, especially when it first wakes up or after eating. I enjoy going on walks, and there’s a rail trail nearby. Cuddles are everything. If this pet wants me to love on them I will be super cuddly. I want to make them feel as at home as possible.
“We left our baby girl with Kate and her beautiful family. We have been so at ease while away because she has been so good about communicating with pictures and updates daily. We couldn’t be happier with the care she’s given our Piper. We will definitely use them again when the need arises.”
“Kimberly took great care of our Havanese. She was communicative throughout his stay and sent plenty of photos. It’s great to know that our pup will be loved and cared for when he’s with Kimberly and her precious family.”
“Very happy with J & J! We took a last minute trip and they responded quickly. They took good care of Milo, sent pictures, and i could tell he was happy there. Would definitely book again!”
“Amanda was amazing! She and her two boys played with and took great care of my dog. She had to leave for vacation the day I was returning from vacation. She dropped off my dog off at my house and made sure she was fed and had fresh water. I am booking her again!”
“Sabrina is the absolute best with our little girl Roxy. She keeps us updated with pictures, messages and lets us know if there's anything to note when we do the trade off. Roxy loves spending time with Sabrina and Zeus.”
“Hands down best experience we’ve had with dog sitter. Sydney loved our pup like he was her own and sent plenty of videos and pictures. He is clearly smiling in several of them. What a gem she is…we were so lucky to find her! Thank you Sydney! Our vacation was lovely knowing Roger was in such good hands”
“Victoria was a fantastic host. Her house is clean and has a nice fenced in back yard for the dogs to play freely. She has two very friendly dogs which was a huge plus since ours loves to play. Will certainly look to book with her again!”
About: My husband Lonnie, and I will be the care team for your dog, whether they are staying for a few hours or a few days. We are a pup-loving family looking into fostering or adopting a dog in the long-term. We've had pet hamsters, a hedgehog and bunny but our kids (10, 12 and 15) have wanted a dog for years. In our last neighborhood we signed up as puppysitters and hosted a few different dogs, started walking others, and generally tried to give our kids as much experience with them as possible to test the waters! Now that we live in a big house with a large fenced yard and quiet neighborhood, we would love to welcome your pup into our home for a day, a weekend or a longer stay full of love, hugs, play and walkies. We are still fairly new to the dog-sitting game but we are eager to hear from you and learn how to care for your dog the way you do at home. I work two days a week as a supply teacher, and my husband works remotely from home, so most days there will be 2 adults around to play with your pup! We have three kids between the ages of 10-15; two boys and a girl. They are all eager to spend time with your dog, and help us out with walks, potty breaks, playtime and quiet cuddles. We have a large, fenced yard and plenty of room in the house for your dog's crate and favourite nap mats. If your dog is used to being allowed on furniture or beds, we will allow it in our home too. There will always be somebody home to walk your dog in the mornings, during the day, after school or in the evening. On weekends we will clear our schedules so that we are all available as a family, and during the week there will be 1-2 parents home until school finishes, and then 3 kids home to play after that!
About: I grew up with dogs and love all animals. We have 2 guinea pigs in our home. And 2 dogs thatare with us sometimes. They do not need to be there when we have other animals over. We would like to make time away from family easier on pets by welcoming them into our family for a bit. Thank you!! I work from home 3 days a week and in office 2 days. I would like to do pet care part time. I am able to walk animals outside or play with them inside. I have a yard with a dog line and we live at a dead end with walking trails 3 houses away. It is a very pet friendly neighborhood with not much traffic passing my home.

Bodie had lots of fun playing with all the dogs at “Caesar’s Place”. Michael and his wife seem to truly understand dog behavior. We received pictures and videos of playtime. Michael was quick to respond to questions, and happy to allow time for a “meet and greet” which we appreciated.
Erin was great with Brady. She sent us pictures and updates along the way. I feel very comfortable leaving our Brady with her. She hadn’t seen him in a while so she stopped by our house before the stay to get reacquainted with Brady. That was very helpful and thoughtful.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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.
