“Jennifer was a wonderful care taker for our dog. She was patient and kind. Kept us updated on a longer stay. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you.”

“She took such great care of Remi and we felt so at ease, even though it was the first time we’ve had our pup stay with someone else. We loved the updates and photos and will definitely be using Gienna again!”

“Olympia had a great time as always! We really appreciate their attention to her allergies - when we told the she needed filtered water they said no problem and offered to take the shared water up, which was really considerate.”

“Samantha was great with both me and my dog. This was my first Rover booking and she and her husband were super accommodating and took great care of Della: taking her on walks, making sure the cats stayed away and giving her cuddle time (with kids❤️). Would book again if i was in the area.”

“Jhoanna took care of Olive like she was her own! I got tons of updates and quick responses that reassured me Olive was in the best hands possible. I’d use Jhoanna any time again in the future.”


“Lulu just spent over 2 wonderful weeks with Bob and Hyesun. Lulu had a great time with them! Bob sent us great photos of Lulu often, and Hyesun cooked fresh food, like eggs and sweet potatoes for Lulu. They also brush her often to keep her mat free. We will definitely ask Bob and Hyesun to take care of Lulu again in the future.”

“Freddi took outstanding care of Penny!!! She has an idyllic setup for hosting and provided Penny a cozy and comfortable stay while we were out of town. We loved the photos Freddi sent every day - Penny was clearly right at home! Would definitely book again.”

“Thank you for taking care of Theo again! Theo always runs right into Elliot and Jo’s house and heads straight for the dog toys. I know I can leave him and he’ll feel right at home.”

“David and his family were fantastic hosts to our pup - we cannot recommend them highly enough! They were responsive during the booking process and continued with consistent communication throughout Vega's stay. The level of care and attention being paid to Vega was immediately obvious due to the updates and observations we received each night. Our dog has a bit of anxiety, especially during longer stays away, and David was on-point about noticing changes in her behavior and asking questions when necessary. Barring a scheduling conflict there's no other family we'd even consider having Vega stay with.”

“Patricia was fabulous! She took incredible care of our pup like she was one of her own! When watching her during the heatwave Patricia made sure there was lots of fun things for her to do to cool off. She got to go swimming in the pool and played around in the splash pad. Patricia was great at keeping us updated and sent lots of photos and videos! Our pup can’t wait to go back!”

“Ari was very caring and communicative while caring for our pup for the first time. She was attune to Hazel’s needs and went above and beyond playing and caring for her. We will definitely be booking with Ari again!”


“Vanessa and Diana took amazing care of our dog! They were incredibly flexible when we needed to push our pickup time back a few hours. I could not recommend them highly enough!”

“Thank you for minding Theo in our absence! Great videos, excellent response time to my messages. Exceptionally knowledgeable about dog behavior! Lovely family, great back yard and lots of walks. Happy, tired guy. Thank you!”

“Ana Maria was great with my puppy. She was very caring and understanding of my puppy separation anxiety, and also she was flexible with my last minute schedule change. She was truly a blessing during our trip to MA and I am looking forward to come back to MA to visit my daughter and booking with Ana Maria again. 😊”

“Xinyue and Weihai were most accommodating and responsive during a last minute stay. Indy had a great time and I felt most assured of his care while I was away. Highly recommend!”


“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“We were so lucky to have Paul, Megan and family look after Ramsay for us. They are such a loving and welcoming family, we were able to take Ramsay over for a meet and greet, which was a great introduction! We dropped Ramsay off and knew he would be well looked after and we got lots of photos, videos and updates while we were away. It was clear when we picked Ramsay up that he was so comfortable and happy with his stay too! We couldn’t recommend their care more and I think Ramsay will be super excited to stay again in future!”

“My dog stayed with Ana for a few days and was incredibly well taken care of! She looked so happy and comfortable the whole time. Even though she has some trust issues, she warmed up to Ana very quickly and was cuddling with her as if they had known each other forever. Highly recommended!!”

Swampscott dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time in the whole 14 years that I’ve left my dogs with a stranger. Gienna never felt like a stranger from the moment I met her. She immediately made me feel safe leaving my kids for an entire week. She sent me updates multiple times a day without prompting. I never had to worry what they were doing. She even finished off some antibiotics with one of my guys. They came home absolutely spoiled. I will absolutely use Gienna again in the future and I would 100% recommend her to anyone (except that means she fills up quickly-totally worth booking early!)
Andre is great. He took great care of our dog and his training method is excellent. Our little boy was exhausted but learned to safely walk on sidewalks, stop before crossing the street and staying and coming when called. We will continue to work with Andre to refine his skills so we can take him anywhere confidently and safely. Highly recommend Andre to anyone needing help training.

Tatiana accomplished an exceptional feat of caring for our elderly dog who had a lot going on while he was being cared for so graciously in her home. There were plenty of medical care issues that she navigated beautifully making it possible for us to have a relaxing Christmas trip. Our dog had the best Christmas too. Wonderful, thoughtful, skilled care. Our dog is so fortunate. Thank you Tatiana!

Charlotte is the best! I’d never left my anxious, yappy little old dog with anyone before, but Charlotte took a chance on her and gave her amazing care. She was patient, kind, and made sure my pup felt safe and loved the whole time. I got regular updates and came home to a happy dog — which is saying a lot! I can’t recommend her enough.
