“Kaitlyn was so wonderful! She communicated regularly and was calm and understanding when Allie had a bout of stomach issues. Allie came home happy and tired, the perfect combination!”
“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”
“Kate instantly made myself and Louie feel welcome and comfortable for his weekend stay! She sent me pictures and updates each day and I could tell Louie was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. I will definitely book her for future stays and highly recommend her!”
“Guillermo did a fantastic job with my dog, Kiara. She gets nervous around new people, so it’s always tough for me to leave her. I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“Jordan did an incredible job taking care of Spud for a last minute weekend boarding at her home. Spud clearly had a great time and was well taken care of. Much appreciated and would love to use her services again!”
“Julie watched our dog Winnie for a week while we were in Ohio, and she was absolutely great. She was very personable, kept us updated the whole time on how Winnie was doing, and sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. I was a little worried because Winnie can be a lot to handle sometimes, but Julie did amazing with her and Winnie clearly loved her. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Kim was wonderful with our dog Ziggy. She treated him as if he was part of her household! I received beautiful photos of him playing with her dog, her walks in the woods, and of him sleeping. I definitely recommend Kim. She has a caring way with her own dogs and my dog immediately seemed comfortable with her and them. Kim made me (and Ziggy) feel feel cared for!”
“Bert had a great time with Eddy! He sent tons of updates and photos and made sure that his daily routine was followed (along with administering some medication that Bert temporarily needed to take 3x a day). On top of that he took care of pickup and dropoff and was flexible with both the timing and location of both, which was greatly appreciated! I'd definitely recommend Eddy to anyone else looking for boarding services.”
“We had an excellent experience with Pamela and Yocheved! Very kind people. It was also a plus that they have a fenced-in back yard. Their older lab, Jennifer, is the sweetest angel, too. We did a “play date” prior to our booking and our dogs got along great. We will definitely be rebooking again in the future!”

“Kevin was a fantastic caregiver for my pup. Great communication, very responsive, lots of pictures, and clearly comfortable with dogs and their ways. Very detail oriented and wonderful written updates. Most importantly, he clearly cared about my dog, not just for my dog. Would book again without hesitation.”
“Tomoe was FANTASTIC! Extremely nice, and welcoming personality. Felt comfortable immediately after our meet & greet session. She gave lots of updates with texts, pictures, and videos the entire weekend I was out of town. 100% recommend to anyone looking for Rover care. Bravo! 👏🏻”
“Kaisa was AMAZING! She took fantastic care of our dog and sent us incredible photos (one of which we think we’ll frame). She was incredibly communicative and friendly. We’d definitely ask her to sit again!”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
Waltham pet parents share their Rover experiences
My pup Lyla had a fantastic stay with Yick-Hong and his wife for a week! All the pictures they sent me she looked so happy and relaxed. She even was sleeping on her back because she was so comfortable (vulnerable position for dogs). They took her on walks to new areas which she loves and even ran with her because they could tell she enjoyed it. They also provided detailed daily updates and were responsive to any messages I sent. I will definitely have Lyla stay with them again!
I had a great experience boarding my cat for a last minute weekend away. They made sure my cat was comfortable with a separate room (since he has dietary restrictions), equipped with a cat tree, bed, bowls, and litter box. They were able to administer his medications easily. Communication was consistent & I got photo and video updates throughout. I was able to have an anxiety free weekend and my cat got a vacation too! I will definitely book next time I need a sitter.
Aya was an incredible dog sitter for our 6-year-old Shih Tzu Louie! Her rate was extremely reasonable and she was very communicative every step throughout our pet’s stay. She asked thorough questions and provided frequent updates on how he was doing with photos too! Her home seemed very comfortable and she didn’t have too many pets there at once which was great for our older dog who can definitely have a lot of anxiety and be grouchy at times! I would recommend Aya to anyone looking for high quality reliable care at an unbeatable price! We’ll definitely be using her in the future she is truly one-of-a-kind!
Lee and her family did an amazing job taking care of Lugano! They treated him like he was part of their own happy family, and it was clear he was very loved and well cared for while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
Eric was really awesome taking care of my dog, Charlie, for a week. He was very responsive and thoughtful about the whole thing, and made sure he knew all the details to help best take care of our guy. Eric sent photos of their outings, so I knew Charlie was having a great time. Highly recommended!
This is the second time Jennifer has watched our pup Tashi. She was also able to watch his buddy Murphy, a 13 year old Wheaten Terrier. Murphy is an older pup and needed additional care with more frequent potty outings, 3 different daily hand fed medication, and extra belly rubs! Jennifer did it all and more. She is great with the pups and reached out frequently with questions to ensure things were done correctly. She sends photos and updates through the day. It is so nice and relaxing to know your pup will be well taken care of when you have to be away from them.
