“Our sweet 10-year-old pup had a wonderful 5-day stay with Liza right after Christmas. Tamsin can be a little shy, but Liza runs a very dog-friendly house: nap time on the sofa, plenty of play time in her large fenced-in back yard. Tam fit right in. This was Tam's first time staying with Liza. She'll be happy to return!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs for over 2 decades and continue to love doing so. Love taking dogs for walks, going to dog parks, etc. Can accommodate most special care requests. Happy to stay the night at your place, or if your dog is social, have her/him over at mine. I have an Alaskan Klee Kai who is 5 years old, 16 pounds, and well-socialized. I’m currently working part time (middle of the day) and will have lots of time to take care of your fur babies. For home visits, I can typically do 7:30-10am, 3-5pm, 7-11pm, but I make arrangements outside of these times with advanced notice. I have a big yard that my dog enjoys. It is not fenced in but we can use a long leash so dogs can run around, play fetch, and explore.

“Very grateful for Jen and her family for being able to accommodate and take care of my Oreo with very short notice! Jen was very responsive and provided daily updates with pics of how Oreo was doing the entire time I was away. I can tell he was loved and well taken cared of by Jen and her kids! Also love the fact that her property has a huge fenced-in backyard which provided a safe space for Oreo to run around in! I highly recommend Jen and would absolutely entrust Oreo with her and her family again in the future!”

“Maria is a gem! She provided wonderful care for our pup for four days. He was several weeks post-major surgery and she was extremely attentive to his needs. She is communicative and sent updates with photos every day during his stay. She has a big heart, caring nature, and adores dogs. It gave us peace of mind to know that our pup was in such good hands while we were away.”

She genuinely has an interest in caring for animals and is detail-oriented when coordinating their care. She also provided photos and videos for peace of mind that our boy was healthy and happy. We would rely on Likun again without question.”

“Tiffany took SUCH great care of our puppy. We dropped off our very energetic 8 month old with Tiffany for a weekend while we went out of town and we knew our pup was in great hands. This was our first time leaving her with a sitter so we were unsure what to expect. Tiffany made us feel so confident and comfy and sent lots of pics. She clearly knows what she’s doing and truly loves dogs.”

About: Hi! We’re Jaycee and James, a dog-loving couple who are excited to welcome your pup into our home! 🐾 We have two dogs of our own — Bentley, our playful and energetic 2-year-old Golden Retriever, and Bailey, our sweet and cuddly 4-year-old mini Bernedoodle. They both love having a furry friend around, so we’re only able to care for dogs who are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. We’re an active household and love spending time outdoors. Our apartment community has two private dog parks, and we have plenty of walking and hiking trails nearby. Whether your dog loves a long walk and playtime or would rather relax and cuddle at home, we’re happy to match their routine and energy level. James works from home, so there is almost always someone home with the dogs throughout the day. We also only care for one guest dog at a time, which allows us to give your pup plenty of individual attention and make them feel like part of the family. We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, and we’ll treat your pup like one of our own! ❤️ James works from home, so there is almost always someone home with the dogs throughout the day. We have a flexible schedule and can provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. We provide a safe, comfortable, home-based environment where your dog can be part of our family. We only care for one guest dog at a time and require dogs to be friendly and comfortable around other dogs, since we have Bentley and Bailey. We follow your instructions carefully and prioritize your dog’s comfort, safety, and individual needs.

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.

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.
