“Jennie was super friendly and reassuring during Roger's first official boarding experience. I got frequent updates through messages, pictures, and videos! They made me feel very safe leaving my boy with them and gave him plenty of attention, he definitely came back a happy cat. I would highly recommend for anyone anxious about first time boarding!”
“Nika took wonderful care of our shy, senior dog Farley again! He stayed for a week this time, the longest we’ve left him. He immediately felt comfortable enough again to allow belly rubs! Nika spoiled him with lots of walks, sunbathing, hanging out, scritches, and belly rubs. She kept us updated multiple times each day with pictures and texts — Farley looked safe, calm, happy, and like he was having a great time. We’re glad to be home but Farley is probably sad to leave Nika 😁”
“Maria took care of Ekko for about a week and can't thank her enough. Very good communication and provided daily updates. Will definitely look for her services again!”
“Roman did an excellent job with my German Shepherd dog Bitsey. He cared for her, walked her made sure she was very well taken care of. He made sure she was well fed and happy and I was extremely pleased with the level of service and care given by Roman.”
“Tina took wonderful care of our very timid rescue dog. She was also very communicative about how things were going. We would recommend her services to anyone!”
“Patricia did a great job with my two little dogs. Her house was clean and welcoming. The pictures she sent showed the dogs acting as if they were at home. I recommend her to any dog owner looking for a good sitter.”
“Vi was fantastic with Cal and I would trust her to take care of Cal for future boarding. Cal is a recent rescue so I wanted to make sure he was with someone who will provide him with the care he needs. Vi provided Cal with toys, lots of walks and plenty of snuggles. She would update me with pictures and videos of how he was doing daily so that put me at ease. It was also great knowing that she works from home so Cal had a buddy majority of time to hang out with. This was my first Rover experience and it has been an awesome one with Vi. Thank you again for taking care of my lil Cal.”
“We felt safe and secure for my pooch under Doug’s care. He made sure my dog had a great time by taking her to walks and quick fun hikes. Highly recommendable to fam and friends.”
About: Hi, I’m Thomas! From playful pups to wise old seniors, I’ve had the joy of working with them all-and I treat each one like they’re part of my family. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle care, or time on the couch watching TV, I’m here to help. I understand that every pet has their own quirks, routines, and needs and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each one special. I currently work from home (aside from the occasional sales call or business trip) so I have plenty of time for walks on the Back Bay, bathroom breaks, and pets on the couch! I love having dogs around, and routinely watch my brother and sister-in-law’s Bernedoodle, Olive. I have no problem having your pup on my couch, and I’m also happy to hang at your home too!
“Ashley went so above and beyond when taking care of our Puppy! She had amazing communication, was understanding and provided excellent care. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“I booked overnight boarding for my 2 yo shiba baby. He had such a good time! Jesslyn and her husband are so nice, they took very good care of him. Highly recommended!”
“Nicole is Amazing. She took such great care of pups! It was reassuring and relieving to know they were getting such great care!!!! I highly recommend her!”
“Charlene and her mom showed Trixie a lot of care and we could tell Trixie enjoyed being with them since Trixie was wagging her tail so much around them at pick up. They sent photos and videos every day so we could see how comfortable she was the whole weekend.”
“Karla and her husband took such wonderful care of my dog Lilo during her overnight stay! I appreciated their helpful communication and the effort they took to get to know Lilo and help her feel at home. Would highly recommend! :)”
“This was our first experience with Rover so my anxiety was through the roof. However, Baining was absolutely the BEST first experience. She gave frequent updates and pictures and even gave us a small dog training tip! She was extremely responsive and our pup looked so happy in every picture she sent. We will definitely be booking with Baining again if we can!!”
“Croissant was really happy staying with Sungjin! He was prompt with replies and active in updating us with her walks and how she’s been doing, so we feel really at ease leaving our babygirl with Sungjin. Thank you so much for your love in taking care of her!”
“Igor’s family took great care of our dog cocoa and handled pick up and drop off very professionally. They send lots of pictures and videos and reply quickly to any questions or concerns. It was the first time he’s boarded for a full week so we were very pleased.”
“I am a veterinary student so, naturally, I was nervous leaving my 1 year old golden retriever with someone else but I will say, I have never seen my hyperactive dog so exhausted from long walks and playing all day than when I picked him up from Jia's house. She was very welcoming and clearly experienced. She exceeded all my expectations and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Meagan was awesome! This was my first time rovering my puppy who is about 6 months old. I was worried to leave her because she is young and a handful but she took really good care of her! She sent constant pictures that made me feel at ease knowing she was in good hands! I would definitely use meagan again for the future. Thank you!!”
“This was the first time leaving our fairly newly adopted dog with a sitter. Ines was wonderful with our temperamental Evie. She found unique, non-threatening ways of picking her up and Evie ended up being just fine with her. Ines was also diligent about sending regular updates and pictures every day to us. Would definitely recommend Ines!”
