“Matthew took great care of our doggo! We received daily updates about her and her care/routine. Along with pictures. She is an older gal with a few eccentricities, but Matthew handled her with ease. Would definitely recommend Matthew and book again.”
“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”
“Another fantastic stay with Ericka! Super attentive and responsive - followed all instructions for or 3 senior dogs that need a little extra love and attention! Super happy repeat customers! Thanks, Ericka!!”
“Mary took excellent care of Marvin. When we returned, Marvin seemed content. She sent us photos and other updates regularly and was very attentive to Marvin’s needs. I would highly recommend Mary”
“Good communication, kind, considerate. She went above and beyond to make sure my "non-traditional" pets also had water in addition to my cat. She was respectful of my house, and I will be requesting her services again in the future!”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two Dachshunds and treated them like they were her own. Her professionalism and clear communication gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that her experience really shows—she knew exactly how to keep my pups happy and comfortable. I would definitely use her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Natalie took great care of our 2 pugs while we were on our honeymoon for 8 days! Pugs were super happy when we got home and the apartment was left very clean. Loved the daily updates and would definitely recommend!”
“My dogs were taken care of excellently! I got lots of photos and it was very clear that my entire pack (which is a crazy pack both in size and energy 🤣) was very happy! Can't recommend these two enough! Thanks so much!”
“Evan did a wonderful job watching my two rescue babies and our home for 5 nights. He is kind, reliable and detail oriented. His communication is clear and timely. I was able to relax while I was away because I knew they were in loving and capable hands. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Maura did great with both Ollie and Olive. Ollie is a bit sassy at times and Olive can be very clingy and she did great with both. Maura was also able to make arrangements if she needed to be gone longer throughout the day. I appreciated the updates while I was away along with the goofy pictures of my pups as well as the video. Will definitely plan to book again when I need to go out of town! (:”
“Pickles had a great time with Valerie. Valeries sent so many pictures all adventures she took Pickles on and reassuring pictures of pickles tucked into bed at night. Thank you so much!”
“Heather has watched my doggie and cat 2x. They are great, sends me lots of pictures and updates. Keeps the house super clean. Simply the best.”
“Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
“Maddi was amazing! She sent plenty of photos and was very communicative. She was extremely flexible and accommodating as I had to add an extra day on to the original stay, and I am so grateful for all of her help. When I came home, my pets were all super happy and in great moods!!”
“Molly was wonderful with our 75lb Golden Retriever. She stayed in our house with him for a week and sent pictures and updates daily. We also returned to a nice and clean home. Thanks Molly!”
“Jordyn was fantastic - going above and beyond to make sure that our two little dogs were well cared for. She kept our home immaculate and provided regular updates - we feel lucky to have met Jordyn and look forward to future bookings!”
“This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.”
“Jazzmine was great! She stayed with our dog Bear, overnights for a week, while we were out of state. Jazzmine is very professional, dependable, safety conscious and friendly! She kept me informed, sent pictures, and .......Bear made a new friend! I would definitely recommend Jazzmine!”
South Shore pet parents share their Rover experiences
Erika was wonderful! This was the first time she sat for our dogs, and we were so pleased with how it went! She was caring, communicative, professional, and our dogs loved her. We will definitely ask her to sit again. A great experience overall. Thank you, Erika!
Riley stayed with our 2 dogs (one elderly and mellow, the other young and energetic) and our older cat for 10 days. She walked the dogs daily, kept them fed and medicated, and provided regular updates. She is super reliable, and the pets love her. We hope to have her back for our next trip!
Thank you Kaitlyn! Our big shy Great Dane, rescue kitty cat, and our home were weIl cared for by Kaitlyn. I appreciate Kaitlyn's patience with a water issue, and her consideration in putting away a delivery of frozen fish (that would otherwise have been a stinky homecoming!). The animals were safe and sound and the house was clean, kitchen sparkling (I noticed!) when we returned home. I could tell the animals were comfortable around Kaitlyn and I hope she will come back again.
I could not have wished for a better caregiver! It is evident in the photos that my pets loved interacting with Elad and especially trips to the dog off-lease area. Just a week before my trip, Mr. Darcy was diagnosed with diabetes, and I am grateful that Elad accepted the challenge. Thank you sooo much for not only making all the pets comfortable, but also keeping them healthy. Exceptional service, I highly recommend Elad!
Erin was great! She was very communicative the first couple of days and made sure my pups had everything as close to normal as possible; she then sent pics and updates 1-2x/day from there. One of my pups is special needs and can be difficult taking medications when I’m gone - Erin was able to get all her pills in and both pups were happy and healthy when we returned. And the house was clean and orderly, which was so nice after a long travel day. Thank you, Erin!
Jessica was great! She watched our 2 year old dog and two cats while we were gone for 6 days. She gave us routine updates of how our animals were doing and sent plenty of pictures which was greatly appreciated. She left the house clean and definitely put our minds at ease while we were away. We would absolutely use her services again the next time we go away.
Natalie was extremely responsible and curteous watching over our home and our two pups. She kept us updated with daily pictures and a summary of the girls’ day which was very comforting. We especially appreciated her flexibility to stay another night when our flight home was canceled. We definitely recommend Natalie and will call on her again!
So glad to have found Ally! I have an anxious dog when I travel which causes me anxiety - it was fantastic to be able to leave him in his own environment and have Ally take care of him there. He was very relaxed when I came back. She sent photos of them walking, playing and cuddling which made me so happy. She also left my apartment picked up and clean - even putting linens in the wash for me. She is now my go to dog sitter
