“Will and his wife Kayla did a fantastic job boarding our pup Ruby for a long weekend! They were very accommodating in meeting us a few days before the stay, and we were instantly put at ease with our decision to book with them. They took amazing care of Ruby and sent many photos and updates throughout the weekend. Ruby has a blast playing with Scout and Chase and I’m sure she will be hoping to play with them again soon! Highly recommend Will and Kayla and would definitely book again.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10, from my own furry friends to those of friends and family! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave them with someone you trust. I’m very attentive, caring, and happy to adapt to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’ll always treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home! My work schedule is very flexible, and I can work from home whenever needed! This allows me to easily adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I’m also available all day on weekends! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home! I live right next to a park, which is perfect for walks and outdoor time. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that means specific feeding times, playtime, or extra cuddles. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always adapt to what makes them happiest. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands!

“It was such a relief booking with with her. She was able to take my dog last minute and catered to both of their personalities. She went above and beyond what I need her to do and definitely exceeded all my expectations. To the point, my dogs didn’t even wanna leave her. She accommodated them in every way for sure. Kept me updated with pictures and made the pick up and drop off very smooth. I can’t wait to book with her again. And I’m sure they would love to see her again as well.”

About: I have taken care of dogs outside of my own for about 14 years. I found a passion of taking dogs out of big company kennels and bringing them into a warm and loving space! I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I am able to show the love and care that your pups deserve! Whether we are spending time playing or cuddling, your pup will be shown attention! I am located in a quiet area where there are many parts and quiet neighborhoods with sidewalks. I’m also in a space that is spacious giving your pup enough room to roam free and feel comfortable!

“Antonio and his girlfriend were absolutely fantastic with my corgi, Loki!! Loki is a pretty anxious dog, so I was nervous leaving him with a new boarder, but within a day or two Loki was completely warmed up to him. Additionally, Antonio was super flexible and blocked off his calendar to other dogs while Loki was boarded since Loki doesn't always do well with other dogs. I received so many photos and videos and in every single one Loki was smiling or running around with the zoomies! I will absolutely be reaching out to Antonio again and I highly recommend him for others as well!”

About: My fiancée and I are lifelong dog lovers who genuinely enjoy everything that comes with caring for a pup! We’ve had our own dog for the past year after bringing him home as a puppy, so we’re comfortable with puppy energy, training, walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I also grew up with a rescue dog, which made my love for animals start early. Your pup will be treated just like one of our own! 🐾❤️ We work from home Monday, Thursday, and Friday, so these are our favorite days to welcome pups into our home! Your dog will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We’re currently not offering daycare or boarding on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which allows us to give each pup staying with us the time and attention they deserve. Our apartment is very dog-friendly, safe, and welcoming! We have a small Maltipoo of our own who loves having furry friends around, and we live directly across from a dog park, making walks and playtime easy and convenient. We’ll follow your pup’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. We’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
