“Ryan was overall easy going and a true dog lover from how he interacted with Abu from the very beginning. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Abu was with great company. From the conversations and picture I know my pup was in great hand, definitely will be contacting ryan for any future assistance with Abu. My pup came back tired from playing outside and full of energy so I know he was in a loving home with great pups too. From the very beginning I knew Ryan was a perfect fit for Abu and his needs.”

“Jenny and her family were warm and inviting when I met them. They have a nice large enclosed fenced in yard for Jasmine to explore. Jenny took good care of Jasmine, sending many pictures of her during the weekend.”

“Lisa and her family did a wonderful job watching our dog while we were away. We received daily pictures and updates. We were so relieved to know Buddy was in good hands! We will definitely be taking Buddy back sometime!”

“We left Keenu with Noria for the whole day. And he loved it. She was very nice and accommodative of my timings (as it was a work day). Her loads of pics and videos about Keenu’s well being were well appreciated throughout the day. We will definitely reach out again to her for our next dog sitting need. Thank you !”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was a young child and have worked training puppies, poodle mixes, for the last two and a half years. I have had experience with oral medication and brushing poodle hair. I love taking dogs for walks and playing in the backyard. On hot days there is a doggy splash pad available for those who like water play as well as frozen pumpkin treats. I currently work mostly from home and will only be out for a few hours a couple of days so there will be plenty of time for walks and games. What better way to end the day than to relax on the couch! I have one goldendoodle to keep your fur baby company and though he is big, he is super gentle with the little dogs. I have a 4.5 foot tall chain link fence around our back yard. I have crates with dog beds for over night and during the day your dog will have access to our living spaces. Since I'm home most of the time, dogs can be outside/inside according to their preference. Please inform me of any quirks or dietary needs your dog may have. To protect your dog from overheating or hypothermia, walks will be limited when it's over 85°F or below 30°F.
“We have used Amy several times, she replies quickly and has been very pleasant and flexible to work with when dates had to be changed. She took great care of Shadow and sent photos. Shadow is happy to go back to Amy and have fun playing at with her pups.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We were nervous about leaving our dog with someone for the first time and Pardeep put our fears to rest with frequent updates and pictures. We could see that he was having a great time and getting lots of love and attention. We are so lucky to have connected with Pardeep and will absolutely be contacting him the next time we go away!”

“Tanvi took excellent care of Munchkin! She was also very knowledgeable about doodles and knew how to deal with emotions of a pet on a new environment. Highly recommended!”
“Shadow looked to be well taken care of during his stay. Tom took him on some long walks, spent plenty of time playing with him and kept us updated with pictures. We would hire Tom again to watch Shadow.”

“My dog Phin had a fantastic visit with Louie. Louise place is great for having dog daycare with a fully fenced backyard. He clearly loves dogs and gets along with him well. I felt very good about the safety and the fun. My dog was having while I was working all day :-) I will definitely be using Louie again in the future.”


“Fantastic Dog Sitting Experience! I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Ahmad! Ahmad was incredibly responsive, keeping me updated throughout my dog Leo's week-long stay. I truly appreciated the regular pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing Leo was happy and well cared for. It was clear that Leo was in great hands, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention they provided. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! 🐶✨ Thank you, Ahmad!”

About: I am a full time veterinary technician, and have 3 years of experience. I can also give your dog their medication and/or administer subcutaneous fluids if needed! I work full time as a veterinary technician, and will be available: Wednesday - All day Saturday - After 4pm, some Saturdays I am available all day Sunday - All day I will thoroughly follow any instructions required of me for you and your pet's needs, and treat your house and pet as if they were my own.
About: Growing up we always had pets around. Gold fish, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. It really is a fruitful and valuable thing to learn how to love and care for any creature. I am full time homemaker. I spend most days providing top level care for my two devon rex and not too long ago my senior dog who is no longer with us. In my clients home I can follow any level of play and I would be more than happy to go on a walk with their pet and other care within reason.
“Excellent care! Jacquelyn and Bryan were super attentive and loving to my Ollie girl. They sent pictures and updates throughout and I felt comfortable for the entirety of the stay that she was in good hands. Highly recommend :)”
About: Fostering through Cold Nose Warm Heart NJ allowed me to fulfill my passion for working with dogs, but unfortunately I am no longer able to keep pets at the house. This has not stopped my love of dogs! I’d like to be a dog walker to have the opportunity to continue to spend time with dogs whenever possible! Fostering has given me experience with all kinds of pups - puppies (8 weeks+), small dogs, big dogs, shy dogs, playful dogs, … I work remotely and have a flex schedule. Able to accommodate different schedules, and willing to work with you based on what is most optimal for you and your pup! I have two dogs of my own (1 and 2) who love playing and would welcome guests. I very much understand the importance of keeping pups on a schedule, so will dutifully follow such plans.
“We are so grateful to Sayak and his family for the great care they gave Bailey while we were away. We loved the daily updates and photos and could tell from the photos how comfortable Bailey was staying with them. We will definitely use Sayak again & would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Jennifer and her husband Shawn, took care of our Scooby for two nights. That was the first time we left him for our out-of-state vacation. We are so comfortable leaving Scooby. They sent us pictures and videos of him from time to time. At first, we have guilt feeling leaving him, but Jennifer gave us the security that he is taking good care of our dog. I recommended Rover to all my friends with pet-dog. Such a pleasant experience using the service.”

“We were so happy that we got a chance to leave our Dear Winnie with this super sitter ❤️ Very positive experience , especially that this was a very first time leaving her with anyone . Nasreen is amazing and very caring . Definitely a great choice for you and your pet :) Will definitely book her again and would highly recommend her to anyone . Great communication and updates thought-out the whole time Winnie was with her . Overall a great experience 😊”

Somerville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nala had a wonderful time at Pardeep's. Pardeep sent pictures with clever captions. He kept me updated on how she was doing. I really appreciated it. Nala seemed to have enjoyed her stay there and seemed to have gotten on very well with Pardeep's dogs. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep for boarding.

Kumud provided a wonderfully safe environment for our dog Harper, as always. We love getting all the photos and updates during the stay. Harper has stayed there so many times, she excitedly jumps out of the car when first arriving to play with the other dogs and get attention from Kumud's family. We couldn't recommend Kumud more!

We have used Brittany multiple times now to take care of our dog. We appreciate her flexibility with our schedule. She has always been very attentive to our dog and provides us with daily updates which is great. Celia seems to truly enjoy her stays there each time she goes.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Birdie received while I was away! Kate was awesome - attentive, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. I got plenty of updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Birdie was clearly in great hands, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!
