“Wendy is amazing! I am thrilled that my first experience using Rover was with someone so caring and responsive. We knew upon meeting Wendy at her home that Indy would absolutely love his vacation with her and her family - and he did! She took the time to chat with us to get to know a little about Indy and what to expect from his stay. During his week with her, she sent plenty of pictures and texts that showed he was treated like part of the family. We were completely at ease during our trip, knowing our pup was so well-cared for. I will absolutely be booking with Wendy again!”
“We found Zwany & Leandro after our regular Dog sitter moved away - and they are such a gem! Super communicative, extremely responsible but easy-going at the same time, and very sweet with the pups. You can tell this is truly what they love to do. They were also very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans suddenly changed which was super appreciative. They are awesome!!”
“Had a great experience boarding my Golden Retriever with Christina! From the initial meet & greet I could tell Christina was competent, professional, and caring. Leading up to and throughout the boarding she was communicative and sent multiple pictures daily, so I know my dog had a great time. Drop-off and pick-ups were easy. Overall really pleased with the boarding service and will be boarding with Christina again soon!”
“Alex stayed with our Rottie in our house. He was great. Communication was excellent. Our home was in great shape. Alex was caring. He made sure Tilli was dried off in the garage after a walk. We appreciate his thoughtfulness and great care.”
“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.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and walking dogs of family and friends. I have also cared for puppies and animals with disabilities. I work from home and have the flexibility to make my own schedule on most weekdays. Afternoons are preferable for dog walking, though I can usually make accommodations for AM walks as well. I will mainly be offering dog walking services, so caring for the animals in my home will likely not be required. However, if a client needs at home care, I am willing to be flexible, depending on their preferences.
“Isabelle was an awesome sitter and took great care of my pup! This was the first time leaving him with a sitter that wasn't family and I was able to visit home stress free! Isabelle was great at communicating and sending pictures during his visit. I can't say enough kind words!”
“Rachel was great! It was Harley’s first time staying with a new sitter and he can be unpredictable, but Rachel was reassuring and positive about watching Harley and that helped ease my anxiety! She was communicative, sent pictures and did a great job with giving Harley his meds that he is sometimes fussy about. Very happy to have a new reliable dog sitter to add to my rotation!”
“Debra was fantastic! Our Shih Tzu took to her as soon as we met her, and we knew right away that she would care for him as her own. Debra took him on many adventures, sending pictures along the way. She truly went above and beyond. We are so relieved to find someone we can fully trust, especially given our pup's specific medical needs, and will be sure to use Debra whenever we need care.”
“Fernanda has been taking care of our dog Jack for the last year every time we travel out of time. She is the best. Reliable, constantly updating us with photos and videos and takes wonderful care of our dog. Would highly recommend Fernanda to anyone looking for a top tier dog sitter.”
“Copper seemed to enjoy his stay very much with Yulia and her family. Every picture she sent us showed a happy, well-cared for pup! Yulia was concerned with Copper being comfortable and happy during his stay, which we definitely think he was.”
“Lexi came to our rescue by providing exceptional care for my furbaby, Kiara. We had a trip planned, and a family member was initially going to look after her, but they decided to go away as well. I contacted Lexi, who graciously accepted Kiara on short notice. When we arrived at Lexi's house, Kiara eagerly ran inside, clearly happy and feeling safe in Lexi's care. Lexi excelled in communication, sending us updates and pictures. I cannot recommend her enough for pet care.”
“Mia and Taowei were phenomenal! They were available for a last minute spontaneous weekend trip and my pup felt right at home with them. Mia sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day which made me feel very reassured AND she even gave my picky eater some chicken when she noticed he wasn't eating his kibble. I highly recommend them and will definitely be rebooking with them 😊”
“Lynne took such great care of Napoleon. Napoleon is a senior dog with diabetes and cushings disease and Lynne had never given insulin shots to a dog before but took it on without fail! Napoleon came home super happy and healthy. We are so thankful to have found Lynne to care for our little old man while we went away for the week.”

Luke was amazing. Mongo had one of the best days hiking and snuggling with Luke after his hike. Luke is communicative and sent so many great pictures throughout their visit. I highly recommend Luke for dogs of all sizes. He’s an excellent dog handler and absolute lover of dogs. Mongo is already looking forward to his next visit.
Sahana and Raman were wonderful! They took the time to meet our Red and make sure he was comfortable with them and their Cinnamon while we were still present. They were also very flexible and communicative. Red looked very happy and comfy, both in the many pics/videos they sent through the stay, and when we picked him up after a week. Would definitely book again!
We had such a wonderful experience with Carol! Our Boxer, Jarvis, stayed with her and absolutely loved his time there. It was clear when we picked him up that he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. Carol was incredibly kind, attentive, and loving toward Jarvis, and we really appreciated knowing that he was in such good hands while we were away. She made him feel right at home, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was having a great time. Jarvis came home happy and tired, which is always the best sign! We would absolutely trust Carol with him again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she gave Jarvis! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heather took great care of my goldendoodle (Riva) for a weekend. Heather was very communicative and shared pictures and updates throughout the stay, and it was comforting to see Riva looking so relaxed and at home. She seemed to fit right into Heather's family! I would definitely recommend Heather to others.
Booking with Noila was a great experience. She took amazing care of our two cats, kept us updated with cute photos every day, and was highly communicative. It’s such a relief to know your pets are in good, capable hands. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future needs!
Everything went absolutely wonderfully with Olivia and Adam. We left our dog Chelsie with them for a long stay of about 2.5 weeks, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chelsie can be a bit anxious when staying with someone new, and to be honest, we were anxious too. We know all the little quirks and routines of our dog, but of course it’s impossible to explain every tiny detail ahead of time. Still, they handled everything incredibly well and made her feel comfortable very quickly. They constantly sent photos and updates, which I was extremely grateful for because it allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. It was very clear from the updates that Chelsie was happy, comfortable, and having her own little vacation. At one point we joked that she might not even want to come back home after staying with them. Highly recommend them, especially if you’re nervous about leaving your dog for a longer stay.

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.

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.
