“Julia was very warm and communicative, and she and her family seemed to really get to know and love our dog. The almost daily videos and photos, the genuine care, and the sweet Christmas gift—left us feeling 100% at ease when we were overseas, and we’ll look forward to leaving Canela with them again.”
“Angelina went above and beyond every single day, sending me regular updates, photos, and little notes that made me smile and reassured us that everything was going smoothly. Coming home, I could tell my dog had been not only well taken care of but genuinely loved. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust. Thank you, Angelina!”
“Yvonne and family are AMAZING! They took such wonderful care of our German Shepherd while we were out of town. Yvonne sent lots of pictures of Maia having a wonderful time and being spoiled with lots of pets. It was such a relief to know she was happy and well cared for. I know Maia will be excited to visit again!”
About: Long term pet parent and lover of animals. I am known for adopting animals in need of homes. I have had 3 cats and a dog over the past 10 years and most recently a turtle. My dog passed away in 2025 from cancer and I miss having my buddy around. I am not ready for a new dog so I am happy to spend time with yours. I currently have 2 kitties at home, one of which is a blind 1 year old. I work from home most days, but do travel occasionally for work. Please feel free to reach out, I have time to spare. I'm happy to assist you and your furbabies. I work remotely from home during the week and have availability to pop over for a walk, bathroom break or food assist. Since I work from home they can even hang out with me all day. I have 2 cats who might be a little shy but are friendly. They have been around dogs and will hide if a dog is just too much energy. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for zoomies. I also have a crate, toys and bed for your dog.
“Sarah took excellent care of Ollie. He is a cuddler and he got plenty of those staying with Sarah. He also got great walks (his second favorite thing). We will definitely be visiting again!”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“Yick-hong was FANTASTIC with Fiona! From the start, he was very communicative and thorough with the intake before the actual boarding. While Fiona stayed with Yick-hong, we could see that she was very comfortable and happy from her body language. He took great care of her, took her on scenic walks, played with her, pampered her - and even taught her new tricks! We are very happy that Fiona made a new friend, and would happily leave her with Yick-hong again. Fantastic sitter and companion”
“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Mellisa and her family. My dog stayed twice with them and both times I was getting back happy and satisfied pet. Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“Lyn is the best. Thoughtful, considerate, and loves our furry baby. Our few months living in Cambridge wouldn’t have been the same without Lyn watching our little Rosie. ?♥️”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”
“Yi was fantastic. Had great communication and could tell she really cared for our dog. We have a very nervous high energy dog and Yi made him and us feel incredibly comfortable. Consistent pictures and our dog loved hers. Would 100% book with Yi again and recommend t anyone.”
“This was our first experience with Rover, and it definitely won’t be our last thanks to Peter, Michele and their family! I received daily updates and pictures, which was very reassuring since this was my first time boarding Stella. I don’t think she wanted to leave! I will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future.”
“Jessica and her family were amazing caretakers for our 6 month-old Golden Retriever, Ollie! During his stay, Jessica sent me continual updates, photos and videos of Ollie enjoying walks, playing with her own dogs, watching Sunday football, and having the best time! I would highly recommend Jessica and look forward to Ollie staying with her again soon!!”
“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!”
“Ryan is incredibly responsive and we felt really comfortable leaving our dog with him. He asked all the right questions and was so glad to learn about Piper’s quirks. He kept us updated everyday and we know she had a great time. What a relief! Ryan helped us feel relaxed enough to really enjoy our vacay time! Thanks Ryan!”
“Sara was an absolute delight! Warm and welcoming, my large breed pup did great with her and her two dogs; I received regular, daily updates with pics. I will be utilizing her services in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stow
Pilar has been caring for our dog Keto for many years. Keto adores Pilar, and seems to think of her time with her as camp. Her tail starts wagging furiously the minute she realizes that Pilar has arrived to take her away, and she rarely looks back as she trots to the car. Pilar takes Keto and other dog buddies for walks in the woods and provides plenty of playtime in her large yard. Pilar is attentive to communication regarding drop off and pickups and sends us updates and pictures. She has observed and reported on how Keto is changing as she ages, from being the alpha to the older lady. We would only use Pilar's services if her schedule accommodated us!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Stow home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Stow.
