“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received while I was away! Lingwen was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their hands. She was so professional, friendly, and attentive, taking the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences. During the time I was away, Lingwen kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. My dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pets!”
“Once again, we couldn’t be happier that our puppy, Lucy, was able to stay with Dawn and her family while we were out of town! We love that Lucy is not only so well cared for, but also gets to socialize with Dawn’s younger kids, their friends, and other dogs throughout her stay (we love getting photos and updates!) Lucy came home happy and exhausted - thank you, Dawn!”
“Adrian was great with our dog. He kept us updated on how she was doing and sent pictures she was very comfortable in his home. Highly recommend we will be using his services again.”
“Tamara did a fantastic job watching our dog Max. He was well cared for and we could tell he really enjoyed his stay. Tamara is always caring and responsive, and was able to accommodate our drop off and pick up times so. We highly recommend Tamara and Jerimiah, and will certainly be using them again.”
“Andre and his family are such wonderful and kind people. They were very welcoming when we brought our boys over for their introduction before booking for the weekend stay. The updates throughout the weekend via text were a delight to see. As much as we missed the boys we felt so easy to know they truly were in great hands with Andre and family. We will definitely book again.”
“Rylee took great care of my dog. He is an anxious boy and she sent me updates and pictures throughout my whole trip that really made me feel like he was being loved. Would highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Svetlana welcomed S. Punki into her family so that we felt like he was on a vacation too! We got daily feedback, with photos, videos, and messages. Svetlana asked questions when she wasn't sure, and was kind and caring. We could not ask for more. I definitely recommend Svetlana and hope to leave S. Punki in her care when we travel again.”
“Alexis took such wonderful care of our Goldendoodle, Walden, and treated him like one of her own. Walden and Brewer became fast friends. It was clear he was happy and well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust Alexis with Walden again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pup.”
“Kendra was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in I knew Scout would be well cared for and would also have a fun furry companion to play with. Kendra is very attentive to details, warm, welcoming to cuddle a sometimes shy dog and my pup enjoyed lots of exercise and play. Thank you Kendra!”
“Julie is so wonderful!!! She was very welcoming to us and our dogs. Her calm manner is comforting to pets and pet parents. She kept us updated, so our days away were worry free. Thank you for having such expert caregivers that keep our babies both safe and happy! We highly recommend Julie and will definitely use her again.”
“Carrington took such great care of our toy poodle, Teddy, while we were away from 7/06–7/13. She was wonderful from the very first meet-and-greet and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Teddy in her care. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Teddy was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. Carrington truly went above and beyond our expectations, and we’re so grateful for everything she did. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Outstanding visit with Joseph and Rebecca. They looked after Chester and Osito like Family, kept us posted on their activities, and responded quickly to questions or requests. Highly recommend Joseph and Rebecca to care for your doggos!”
“Elaine was kind and calm when she met with my not-so-social dog. I felt comfortable leaving my baby with her. I really appreciated her flexibility to accommodate my family’s last minute schedule. Communication was easy. She responded to my questions at a timely manner and sent me update regularly.”
“Leaving our dog with Liliya was easy and comfortable. She communicated well and sent us photos throughout each day. Most importantly our dog seemed happy and well cared for when we picked her up! We will definitely be back next time we need a dog sitter in her area!”
“Nancy is very kind, loving and caring. My dog is old and timid and Nancy handled her care with exactly what my dog needed. Nancy is very gentle. I would highly recommend Nancy.”
About: If taken care of animals since I was 5 years old and living on the farm. I've even written a children's story about my experiences. I recently took care of my senior dog who I can't go on walks with anymore. When I go for a walk by myself I feel like I'm lost without a dog to accompany me. I'm currently working part-time and I'm available to go for walks with your dog. I can also keep your dog during the day since I'm home during the day and board him or her for you. I live in an apartment complex that is very dog friendly and has a great dog park to play at. I can accommodate your needs and can also spend the time giving your dog the attention he or she deserves.

So fortunate to found Leslie to watch our fur babies for the weekend. Wonderful home with lots of room and a fenced backyard. Our lab isn’t able to do stairs, Leslie was so accommodating as to walk her around the front of the house to let her inside. Loved the photos shared of their stay, thank you for taking such great care of them. ❣️

Frankie is so happy when he comes home from Margav & Paola! It makes me feel so good that I know Frankie is safe and comfortable in their home. I love the pictures they send.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Sunderland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sunderland home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Sunderland.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunderland. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Sunderland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
