“I cannot recommend Heather enough!! With in minutes of meeting her our minds were put at ease. . She was absolutely fantastic with Jaxx while we were away. She sent detailed updates, photos and videos. Jaxx was comfortable and happy with her, even though he can be shy with new people. We came home to a relaxed care for puggle. It's clear that Heather genuinely loves animals and provides exceptional care. I'll definitely be booking her again!"”

“Thank you Julie for taking such great care of my pups. I loved the pictures and videos that you sent. The dogs told me they felt right at home and enjoyed meeting their new pup friends. They especially loved the huge fenced in yard and freedom they felt. They can't wait to come back.”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with Amber’s care for my dog over the weekend! She was incredibly attentive and provided me with frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Amber made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Amber, for going above and beyond!”

“Audree is a great dog sitter & our puppy loves it at her home. He loves playing with the other dogs and I get plenty of pictures to see he is having a good. Audree is very experienced & has provided helpful hints, especially when Cornelius was only a few months old & I was just finding my way as a puppy mom.”

“Jennifer was very quick to respond and sent me lots of pictures of my pup 😁 which I really appreciated and made me feel better since it was our first time using her. We will be doing it again. 🫶🏼”

“Rebekah was a fantastic sitter! She sends frequent updates with photos of your pup, so you can rest assured that they are happy and safe ❤️ Jane requires almost constant human attention and goes outside every 2-3 hours. Rebekah meet all of her needs and more. Her facility is clean, inviting, and pup friendly. Will most definitely be booking again!!”

“Laurie was such a sweetheart with my canbabies. She understood that specially my beagle is very attached to me, so she was very patient with him. Constantly kept me updated of how much fun my kiddos were having with her beautiful puppy. Will definitely book again in the future and absolutely recommend her ?”


“Leslie is incredibly kind and attentive. She took my dog out for a lot of exercise, and kept him happy and safe while I was away. She provided plenty of photos and video updates and followed instructions to a T. She has a big backyard and comfortable looking house in a quiet neighborhood. My dog is usually pretty shy and can take a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he was right at home with Leslie. I would definitely recommend her to others, and plan to book with her again in the future.”

“Bodie absolutely loves the time he gets to spend with Cori and her family. He loves being treated as one of the family. Pixie can be a handful, especially when there’s another dog present, but Cori is able to handle her craziness with ease. Cori is very communicative during the stay and easy to work with. I always feel comfortable leaving the pups in her care.”

“Outstanding boarding, as usual! Connie is so considerate and caring for our pups. During this stay Max was making hot spots, and Connie was so gracious to make the 10 mile trek to our veterinarian to pick up some meds for him. This is testament to her dedication to a personalized and caring approach to boarding. Very satisfied overall.”

“Muffin had a fabulous stay as always. When we go to drop Muffin at Stacie’s, he acts like it’s his house and makes him so comfortable the minute he steps in! We make our vacation plans after making sure Stacie’s availability. Muffin came back so happy from all the fun & playing!”
Somerville dog parents share their Rover experiences
GG’s funny farm was amazing as always! I forgot to provide a slow feeder bowl, but luckily Heather had an extra one that Nova could use during her stay. Nova got lots of exercise and had a ton of fun. I also appreciate how organized and clean the dogs’ space is! I always feel great leaving Nova here because it’s like her home away from home 😊
