“Andreas took great care of Iggy! He was very flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent regular pictures and communication. He made sure Iggy got lots of walks and playtime, and it was clear from the pictures that Iggy was comfortable while were gone. Thank you!”
“Archer was in great hands with Eric! Excellent communication and trustworthy. He had a great time, got lots of exercise, and we would totally book with Eric again. Thank you!”
“Su was amazing! He has great communication and is very attentive to the needs of Ivy. He gives periodic updates that allows a peace of mind and provides a very loving environment. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I appreciate the care you showed to Ivy. I can’t thank you enough!”
“Junho might be the best sitter in the North Cambridge area. When it comes to caring for your dog, the most important aspect is genuine love and care. You can tell that your dog is having a blast by checking the constant photos and live updates from Junho. As you can see from those photos, it's easy to tell how much love my dog was given during this stay. Furthermore, Junho was really flexible in fitting my schedule, which was out of the ordinary due to having a baby. If you need someone to take care of your dog, it's Junho”
“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!”
“Landy had such a great time with them and he quickly settled in with them (which was amazing because he is fairly anxious). They sent me lots of pictures and stayed in contact about how he was doing throughout his stay. They were super flexible with timing which was a huge help. Overall, they have been some of the best sitters I’ve had and I feel extremely comfortable leaving Landy with them. I will absolutely work with them again the next time I need to board my dog (I just hope that they will be available as they were the best sitters!)”
“Dana was absolutely great. Very attentive to our dog, and really got to know her before taking her into his home. Left confident that she was in good hands. Dana is also an absolute pleasure to talk to.”
“Sophia was awesome while watching our Golden Retriever, Stella. She sent photos and updates daily, was extremely responsive, and made us feel comfortable that our dog was well cared for. I would definitely board with Sophia again! Great job Sophia!”
“Alex was a great sitter to Winnie. She sent a lot of pictures and updates through Winnie’s stay and treated Winnie like family. We would use her again for a booking!”
“JP was quick to respond, flexible for drop-off/pick-up and sent me an update with a picture. My dog looked happy when I picked her up. I would hire him again if I need a care.”
“Zwany and Leandro always go above and beyond when caring for our dog, Rocky aka Oreo! When watching him over Christmas, they sent an adorable picture of him wearing a Santa hat and videos of him playing in the snow. They treat or dog like their own, and it means the world to my partner and I! We are so lucky to have found them for our fur babies!!”
“We have used many sitters for our dog, and Casey was at the top! She took excellent care of our boy while on vacation. Thank you Casey! We definitely recommend her and will dial her in the future.”
“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”
“Maja was so great with my dog, Zoey! I was a little nervous to drop Zoey off with a sitter because she was having some anxiety but Maja was extremely understanding and immediately put Zoey at ease. She is super communicative and accommodating. She also lives adjacent to a park and took Zoey for lots of walks / hikes in the park. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your pets!”
“Svetlana watched Harper for me at last minute notice while we moved - thank you Svetlana! Harper had a great time and I got lots of pictures and updates! Appreciate it so much!”
“Maria and McAben took very great care of my Gracie girl! For starters, they were incredibly responsive and timely during pick up and drop off and throughout the stay. They kept me updated with multiple messages and pictures of Gracie to check in. They adhered to the instructions on Gracie’s schedule, allowing her to me comfortable and have normalcy. She went on plenty of walks and got loved on, and I will definitely re book with them.”

We are so happy to have found Nyna! Right from the start, her warm, gentle, and welcoming presence calmed our Mica who is sometimes nervous in unfamiliar settings. Nyna asked all the right questions, extended her affectionate nature immediately, and we were confident in her care. Mica returned tired and happy, with great pictures and communication as well. Couldn't be better - thank you, Nyna!
Christina and her family boarded our pup for a week and were wonderful. Christina sent us photos and/or videos daily, made it clear that our dog was doing well, and took really good care of her. They followed our instructions about care for her and we were reassured about leaving our older pup with Christina.and family. We came home to a well tended dog. If Christina is available we will be booking her in November.
Emma was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog, Bobby. Even though it was my first time using Rover, she immediately made me feel comfortable that Bobby was in good hands. Emma was very organized with scheduling and logistics, attentive to Bobby’s schedule and habits, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. She sent me updates and photos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Bobby had a great weekend with Emma and already misses her!
Hannah took amazing care of Bowie for us when we were out of town. She provided frequent updates, great photos, and was overall extremely communicative and welcoming! It was clear our pup had a great time in her care and was tired out after all the plays and good hangs. Will certainly work with her again for future care, it’s hard to find a strong sitter like Hannah!
This is my first time using Rover boarding and I am very happy that I found Andrea. She responds very quickly to my messages and sends me pictures of luna everyday. What surprised me the most is the cleanness and the good smell of my dog when I picked her up after 15 days. No discharge in her ears or under her eyes, Luna’s obviously in a very good and comfortable condition. Andrea is a perfect dog sitter, and she’s very professional and provides the best care for dogs.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. 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.
