“Julie was amazing! She sent us pictures of Pepés adventures and told us about all the fun things they did. It was like a luxury vacation for pepé, he loved it. We will be return customers!”

“Miranda was so wonderful with Charlie! She sent me so many cute photos and videos while I was away and I could tell he was having the time of his life! Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

“My dog is well cared for when with Jing. My dog runs to them when we return and loves the fenced in Yard to run & have fun. I highly recommend Jing & Jeremy. Not to mention picture updates throughout her stay.”

About: I've been fostering with Last Hope K9 Rescue since December 2025, caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from 3-month-old puppies finding their footing to an anxious 3.5-year-old who stayed with me for four months (and completely stole my heart!). I've also cared for senior dogs, including a 9-year-old Doberman who needs medication, patience, and lots of walks. I've done overnight stays from 2 to 12 nights, and I'm comfortable with dogs who need a little extra reassurance, structure, or TLC. I have a soft spot for the quirky ones! I work at a local fitness studio, so my schedule is flexible and I can adjust it with advance notice! My shifts are typically just 3–4 hours, and I'm happy to make accommodations for pups who need extra attention. I've even brought some of my foster dogs to the studio (where they become instant celebrities!), but I know that's not for everyone. For my anxious pups, I've adjusted my work schedule to make sure they're comfortable and never left alone too long. Every dog is different, and I'm happy to work around their needs! I prefer overnight stays in your home, where your pup can stick to their usual routine, sleep in their favorite spot, and feel right at home (because they are!). Expect plenty of walks, attention, and photo updates while you're away. I'll treat your home with respect and your dog like my own, with a little extra spoiling, of course! I'm also open to hosting when it's the right fit.
“Hana was fantastic. She took great care of my pup, and was very available with updates and pics. I also had some travel delays during my booking, and she was very flexible with my pick up. She put me at ease leaving my pup with her. I highly recommend Hana for dog boarding.”


About: As a lifelong animal lover I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes and I absolutely adore them! No matter what, all pets deserve to have a great and adventure filled day and I’m happy to help when you’re busy or plans change. I will always put your dog first when it comes to safety and enjoyment having been trained and years of taking care of our own family dog. My number one priority is to make sure your pup is happy and safe! I love to play, excercise, walk or just hand with them whatever their needs may be. I am WFH with a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your babies whether for a walk or to pet sit. They will get all the care required anytime they are in my supervision which includes lots of fun and activities! I have a designated dog patio in my building along with a very secured home. I also have the space for a crate if that is desired for pet owners. I’m also in the heart of Boston and can take them on many walks to and from the Boston Common
“Our dog sitter backed out at the last minute so I went on Rover just two days before our trip. I read the reviews about Ruya and can attest that they're all accurate. Ruya was fantastic! She responded immediately Once I met her I felt great leaving our dog with them. She was so kind, treated our dog well and sent pictures each day. Our dog didn't want to come home! Will be certain to use Ruya again.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Elliot made it the best experience. Elliot and his wife took excellent care of our 75lb pitbull for 3 nights. They sent lots of update pictures of our puppy on hikes, the beach, and snuggling. Would highly highly recommend.”

“Nola and Damian were amazing! They took us last minute for my two young high energy pups. Communication was prompt and professional. My boys came home happy and well cared for, and I would happily book with Nola & Damian again!”

“After our original sitter had to cancel - Hunter and her partner graciously agreed to watch Ralph while we were away for a week. Having watched Ralph once before, Hunter and her partner are truly exceptional sitters. Taking Ralph in like one of their own, sending daily photos and updates, and just overall making sure Ralph got the best treatment makes them the best. I can’t recommend them enough!”

“Elise took wonderful care of Dixon! She sent frequent photos, was very accommodating and flexible with pickup and drop off, and he seemed to have a great time. would book again!”


“Joe and Rosie were very sweet for looking after my boy bodhi. Bodhi has a good amount of energy and is pretty smart. Too smart sometimes. But Joe and Rosie were patient and kind to him. Definitely will be rebooking! Thank you again!”

“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Smokey loved his time with Jo and Adam. They sent frequent photos and updates and I felt like he was cared for so well! They were also very flexible with drop off and pickup and a date change. We will definitely book with them again.”


“Jim was a great sitter for our 2 year-old Tai. He was very flexible in terms of drop-off and pick-up times, and sent regular updates during our 3-day trip. We would happily use Jim again for boarding in the future.”

“Hanna was so understanding and sweet. There were several hiccups on my end that caused me to need her to watch Tilly an additional night and she was very accommodating. She sent tons of photos and videos, more than any sitter I’ve ever used before, and it looks like Tilly had a fantastic time! I was an anxious mess from the very beginning but Hanna eased my worries with her calm and kind responses to all my concerns. We will definitely be back!”

“Dana was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and were nervous to leave our pup with someone new (he was previously not a fan of being boarded). However, from initial message I could tell Dana knew what he was doing. We did a meet and greet before our dog’s stay and Dana was very thorough with how he operates when he is taking care of a dog, which certainly made me feel comfortable. Dana is also super laid back and more than willing to accommodate our slight adjustments in our pick up time. Our dog looked very comfortable with Dana and when we went to pick him up our dog did not want to leave. We will definitely have our pup stay with Dana in the future!”

“We left our 3 year old overly-energetic lab mix with John for 9 days while we traveled across country. This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dog with someone other than doggy day care/friends. We were able to arrange a meet and greet before Amber’s stay so she could meet him as well as his two beautiful/loving dogs. His house is tidy and clean and his backyard exceeded my expectations with a nice high fence and space for the dogs to run out their energy. All my anxiety and nervousness about leaving her were immediately gone after the meet and greet. During her 9 day stay, we received several photos a day and I could tell from her (my dog’s) expression that she was genuinely loved and cared for by John and enjoyed the company of his dogs. We kept in touch regularly and we plan on booking Amber for another stay with him today (we literally just landed). Highly recommend John’s services if you’re in the market for someone to care for your dog!”
“Jessica was the perfect match for Chumlee. Her and her family were loving and attentive to my Old girl and kept her calm and entertained. She gave her meds and accommodated her needs. We will booking with Jessica for our next trips. She is communicative and easy to coordinate with”
“Natali was able to take Chunk for a last minute visit and she could not have been more wonderful! Chunk had a great weekend with her and she was flexible, attentive, and took such great care of him.”

Krystal and William were great with Suki yet again! They were incredibly responsive and communicative, throughout Suki’s stay over our long weekend. We really appreciated the frequent updates, pictures, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away and let us see how much fun Suki was having! We also really appreciated how receptive and understanding they were to Suki’s specific care needs. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter!

I had a great experience with Ally! Her communication was consistent and reassuring throughout, with regular updates and tons of pictures. She handled my more nervous dog with patience, care, and understanding, which gave me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!

Biscuit enjoyed his stay with Andriani. He had lots of fun and enjoyed engaging with her on the walks and with other pups at the park. She made him feel very comfortable for the stay and I would not hesitate to use her dog sitting services again. Thank you for taking such great care of Biscuit!

I can't recommend Claudia and Joaquin enough! They took wonderful care of Daisy and were so accommodating from start to finish. Everything from the initial meet-and-greet to the final pick-up was completely effortless. They kept me in the loop with adorable photo updates, and seeing Daisy looking so relaxed gave me complete peace of mind.
