Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scituate
Jennifer and Matt's house has become a home away from home for our sweet boy Ollie. He even has a favorite "spot" where he likes to hang out. Jennifer and Matt send photos every day, usually multiple times a day - and when I've expressed concerns over Ollie feeling at ease they take care to send me photos of him walking or playing. I always feel very comfortable leaving Ollie with them.
Ben took such great care of Lucy while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. His communication was outstanding, sending regular updates with lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. I especially appreciated how thoughtful he was with Lucy’s high puppy energy, particularly during the extreme heat this past week. He made sure she still got exercise while keeping her safe and comfortable, adjusting to short frequent activities given the high temperatures. It was also Lucy’s first time with fireworks and he made sure she was not afraid or anxious. Lucy came home happy, tired, relaxed, and clearly well loved. I would absolutely trust Ben with her again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring dog sitter. Thank you so much Ben!
When our usual dog sitter had to cancel a 7-day stay at close to the last minute Cecelia cheerfully stepped in to take care of Zorro, thank goodness. She took the time to meet him beforehand and we had the chance to introduce him to her family which made dropping him off a few days later much easier. During the stay he had lots of walks, snuggles, games and treats. When I picked him up he was totally content, wandering around getting extra pets from her and her daughter while we chatted. While we were away Cecelia sent regular updates and pictures. Overall a great experience for me and Zorro! I'm sure we'll be back.
Matt kept my 35 pound lab mix for 5 days over a holiday weekend and gave her wonderful care! She got tired out playing with his adorable dogs and kept an eye his cat from afar, haha. Matt is a caring and attentive host, flexible with my misbehaving love bug. Would definitely recommend!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Scituate can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Scituate home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Scituate.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scituate. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Scituate sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
