“Vanessa was great - our first time leaving our 8 year old terrier mix with her and we felt totally comfortable and at peace the whole time. From meeting Vanessa you can tell she’s extremely processional, knowledgeable, and compassionate; asking all the right questions to ensure the best stay for your pet and the easiest time away for you. She sent plenty of pictures and provided updates over the course of her stay. Our dog even shamelessly got right into bed and snuggled with Vanessa all night 😂 We will definitely reach out to Vanessa again!”
“Our pup, Reese, absolutely adored Maggie and had a great stay! Maggie was amazing with Reese, so patient with her picky eating style and getting dirty at the park. She also paired our pup with another sweet dog who was staying with her, so they had a nice doggy hangout all weekend. Highly recommend!”
“We left our senior mini goldendoodle with Ashley for 5 days. Dixie absolutely loved her slumber party. Ashley sent lots of pictures and videos, and made sure Dixie came home without any of the treats we dropped her off with! Ashley was always quick to respond and meeting up at the park before we booked was very comforting. Ashley made leaving Dixie a lot easier than boarding her. We will most certainly look to book with Ashley the next time we need to leave Dixie behind.”
“What a wonderful experience I had on vacation knowing my Tuna was safe with a kind and loving person! I received daily photo messages, sometimes two. Always kept informed and in the loop with what his day to day was looking like, from watching movies to playing with this really gross toy he is obsessed with. We will definitely be back for future trips. Thanks Barbara!”
“Fantastic! Ismael is warm and caring towards the dogs in his charge. He took good care of my dog Henry for two weeks over the holidays. Henry had recently had surgery so I was concerned about a stressful boarding environment. Henry came back happy and healthy, and Ismael even gave me a few tips for what to do about his nail biting that I really appreciated. He was also flexible about pick up time as I had some changes to my schedule. Communication was prompt throughout and I would definitely leave Henry with Ismael again. Highly recommend!”
“Things could not have gone better during Kiara's second boarding with Lexi. Throughout the day, Lexi sent several messages updating me on Kiara's well-being. Kiara was a bit picky about eating away from home, but Lexi went the extra mile by cooking some ground beef to mix with her food. Thank you, Lexi, for taking such wonderful care of my furbaby while I was away!”
“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!”
“Christina was amazing! I booked last minute and she was eager to take care of Beru for the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates. Beru has some quirks and Christina was more than capable and happy to accommodate Beru’s personality. Would 100% book with her again!”
“Gomer had a great time staying with Holly and having River as a play/house mate! Gomer was exhausted when we got home and I could tell he had fun staying for one night at Holly's. I so appreciated how Holly kept me updated on Gomer, was extremely responsive and overall, a pleasure to meet. I definitely plan to call Holly again for Gomercare!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with several dogs and have spent years learning how to care for them and understand their personalities. I’ve also dog sat for others, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. I truly love being around dogs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I just graduated from The Boston Conservatory! I will be living in Boston for the summer, which allows for my schedule to be more open now that I am not in school. If there any schedule changes it shouldn't be too much of a problem! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always keep dogs closely supervised, securely leashed during walks, and follow each owner’s instructions for routines and care. I treat every dog with patience, attention, and lots of love to make sure they feel safe and happy!
“Tyler and Meichen were awesome with Milo! They kept sending us pictures, took him for multiple walks and it was clear he was super happy and having a great time. They really took great care of him, and we felt so at ease knowing he was in good hands. I’d totally recommend them to anyone looking for dog sitters—they’re the best!”
“I am very happy for the service provided by Yulia. My malti-poo dog has been given very good care by Yulia and her very nice/friendly family. I will request Julia for dog care service in next time again. Thanks Yulia!”
“Ling & Ye took great care of our pup, Truffles for a weeklong boarding. Communication was great and we kept receiving updates. Truffles had a great time staying with the family and made some new friends.”
“felice was amazing with joy! it was so much easier leaving for vacation knowing that joy was in good hands. really appreciated how detailed she was & it was clear from the start that joy was well taken care of. i’ll definitely be using her in the future:)”
“Our dog had a wonderful time and could not have been happier or better cared for. Stefan and his family really love and understand dogs! A+++++ would definitely recommend highly!”
“Tyler was amazing with my Lobo and Tango! He was a great communicator and I was ever grateful for the flexibility as my travel plans change unexpectedly a few times while I was away. I could tell they were truly cared for and a spoiled just as much (if not more) than would have been with me! Highly recommend and will be trying Tyler again for my next dog care needs”
Watertown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Eddy has been doing an incredible job taking care of our 5mo old Vizsla! He has been able to be flexible in working around our schedule for pickup/dropoff on daycare days and for overnight boarding. He sends plenty of pictures throughout the days he has her to reassure us that our puppy was having fun and getting what she needs - we were honestly getting worried that she wasn't going to have missed us! When we get her back it's clear that she has gotten plenty of time to play and is usually out for the count most of the rest of the day. Definitely recommend going with Eddy if you have a dog that loves to play with other dogs!
My dog loved staying with Gina. He usually has a difficult time being separated from us, but she made him feel comfortable and secure from the very beginning. He seemed completely at home in her care, which made the transition remarkably easy for both him and our family. Gina is clearly very experienced with dogs, and she took exceptional care of Parker. We felt confident knowing he was in such capable and caring hands.
Ekaterina was great! She helped us out in a tough spot to watch our son’s cat, and it could not have been a better arrangement! She was a great communicator and sent lots of great photos so we knew that everything was ok! I would totally recommend her for any sitter needs that you have.
