“Krystal and William did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Broadie! From the start, they were professional, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. They provided plenty of updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Broadie looked happy and well-cared for in every update, and it was clear he was getting lots of love and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Krystal and William to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”

“Kristine is amazing! She’s boarded our dog multiple times now and she does the best job! She is always communicative and sends tons of photos daily, which gives such great peace of mind that our dog is happy and having a great time while we’re away. She takes such great care of him, talking him on walks all over the city. Our dog loves staying with her and I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Hyesoo and her family took really good care of my puppy, Lily. The pictures and updates that Hyesoo sent us made us enjoy our own vacation because I knew that Lily was having a great time with Som, Hyesoo’s puppy. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely call her again!”

“Nancy was incredible!!! I felt so safe with her having my girl and she spoiled her. She kept me up to date and took amazing care of all of Petunias needs. I couldn’t be more grateful and will definitely use her again.”

“Great, easy stay! Steven was responsive and flexible with pickup times. He worked with me to understand my dog's feeding quirks and walk schedule. He sent pictures during the trip and I knew my doggo was safe and comfortable with him. Thanks!”


“Andreas took such wonderful care of our small doodle. He seems to genuinely love dogs, and our pup had a great time staying with him. He also sent along many photos and updates of their day. 10/10!”

“Kaitlyn was a great boarder for Monty. She shared pictures and feedback throughout his four night stay. She was great and Monty loved her. Would definitely use again.”

“Super responsive and communicative! It was my first time boarding Koi with a Rover sitter and Linda was very reassuring and bonded very quickly with Koi. I'd board Koi with her again! The only downside is that Koi came home smelling a little bit of cigarette smoke, but Koi did stay with Linda for a whole week and I know Linda only smokes outdoors.”

“Dana and Nia are such a joy! I got updates daily and they taught me a few stuff and let me know about my pup condition. Communication was also great. Will definitely book again in the near future.”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience with our dog sitter and couldn’t recommend them more highly. This was our first time being away from Howie, and naturally we were a little nervous—but they made the entire experience so reassuring from start to finish. While we were away, our return flight ended up getting canceled multiple times, leaving us stranded for an additional three days. What could have been an incredibly stressful situation was made so much easier because they immediately stepped in without hesitation and continued caring for Howie like he was their own. They consistently reassured us that he was safe, happy, and well cared for until we could finally make it home. On top of that, we received dozens of pictures and videos throughout our trip, which truly meant so much—especially as first-time dog parents leaving him behind. Seeing Howie relaxed, playing, and clearly loved gave us total peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone you can trust so completely with your dog, but we absolutely did here. We are beyond grateful and will 100% be using them again.”

“Fionna is absolutely Amazing at she does! Accepted my request last minute & allowed a Late night drop off All due to Personal family emergency; I cannot Thank Fiona Enough for being so Fast proactive flexible and responsible in my Time of Need! 5 Star Sitter - THANKYOUuuu! for watching my Toots!!”

South Boston pet parents share their Rover experiences
I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Being on a 24-hour shift at the firehouse can be stressful, but Karina put my mind completely at ease. She was an excellent communicator, sent great photo updates, and checked in regularly. I was especially impressed that she successfully fed my picky eater. I highly recommend her and will definitely book again.
Upasna aunty is hands down the most trustworthy dog boarder we’ve ever had. From the moment we dropped off our pup, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in the best hands. She gave him so much care and attention, kept us well-informed throughout, and our dog came back absolutely happy and content. If you’re looking for someone who truly treats your pet like family, look no further!

Peyton took great care of my puppy, Luna while I was away for the weekend. She was very reliable and attentive and I could tell Luna was very happy and content to be in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates which I really appreciated, and I’d definitely recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
