“Elizabeth and Rodrigo took amazing care of our dog while we were away for 6 days. He’s getting older and can be a little anxious, but he was totally comfortable in their home. They sent us tons of photos too, which we loved since we missed him. I’d absolutely recommend them as dog sitters.”
“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Betsy and her family taking care of our furry guy. He had such a wonderful time and we received frequent updates with photos. Her kids told us stories about him when we picked him up- they made him feel like part of the family. We hope to have him stay with them again!”
“Joe was fantastic with our two dogs while we were out of the country. He was always in communication with us, sent pictures, and we could tell our dogs were well cared for upon pick up. We highly recommend Joe and will use him again when we need help with the pups!”
“Frodo had a great stay- enjoyed playing with the hosts' dogs, I got great pictures and video updates, easy to communicate with. Would absolutely use again.”
“Ye and family were excellent with my senior dog Jake. They sent me updates every day and catered to Jake’s needs as an older pup (eating habits, meds, frequent potty breaks). Jake also met a few other pup friends on his visit. Would love to have Jake stay again in the future.”
“Sara is a lovely pet caretaker!! She took care of my elderly tiny toy dog for 3 weeks and did an amazing job. I really appreciated her consistent updates and pictures. Highly recommend her!”
“Su is the absolute best! We had him care for our 10 year old Husky for 2 weeks and he was so great about updates, walks, food, treats, and play time. We also couldn’t pick him up on the scheduled date and Su was so helpful and flexible to keep him an extra night. We are so grateful and highly recommend Su. We look forward to the future stays!”
“We felt very comfortable and secure leaving our senior dog with Bridget for a long weekend. Bridget was highly communicative and kind. Marbles has a couple specialized needs that she easily accommodated (i.e., twice daily pill administration and avoidance of other dogs). Marbles tends to be anxious when without us but I could tell she felt at ease with Bridget from the pictures that she shared with us. We will rebook for sure!”
About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've grown up with dogs of all sizes, from energetic Huskies and Labs to smaller breeds like Havanese, so I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I'm experienced caring for multiple pets at once and am confident managing busy households. While babysitting, I've often cared for children and dogs together, which has taught me how to stay organized, attentive, and calm in any situation. I’ve helped care for my mom's Husky with two torn ACLs, giving me experience with pets who need extra patience, gentle handling, and special attention. I'm comfortable administering medications, treating ear infections, and following detailed care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. I've also lived with cats throughout college, where my roommate had two cats, and I'm now the go-to pet sitter for both of my brothers' two-cat households. I'm just as comfortable caring for cats as I am with dogs. I'm an active person who does long walks everyday and I'd love to have a furry friend join me for walks and adventures. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule. I work remotely on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. On Mondays and Thursdays, when I'm in the office, I'm available for early morning and evening walks or visits. My weekends are wide open, so I have plenty of time for longer walks, overnight stays, and lots of quality time with your pets! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special care instructions. During walks, I stay alert, keep dogs securely leashed, and avoid unsafe situations or extreme weather. At home, I make sure pets have a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and provide care that's tailored to their individual needs.
“Lyn was a fantastic dog sitter! Super professional and communicative and sent us updates of her weekend with our senior pup Thomas. He was well-rested and full of wiggles when we picked him up. Highly recommend and we will definitely reach out to her the next time we head out of town.”
About: I love animals and get genuine joy from spending time with them. Have experience caring for pets of family and friends, am the go to cat caretaker for numerous friends in my life and will take any opportunity to walk a dog. I have a gentle approach, am happy to work with you on the best way to care for your pet and am always open to feedback. Here to give so much love to your four-legged loved ones! I work full time, but have flexibility on the weekdays in the early morning or after 5. Weekends am flexible! Happy to work with you to figure out a time that works best. I have a very gentle and caring approach to pets. Happy to play with and snuggle them! If they’re more nervous or need specific types of care, happy to adapt to what they need!
“Yang took care of our son‘s cat during a recent wedding weekend. She was easy to communicate with, kind, flexible and helpful when we needed to make some timeline adjustments, and took excellent care of our pet. We will definitely turn to her again if we need to board my son’s cat in the future. Five stars and many thumbs up!”
“Greta is an amazing dog sitter! She provided lots of updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked incredibly happy and well cared for throughout the stay. She even gave my dog a bath, which was such a thoughtful offer. Juniper is also absolutely adorable, and it was wonderful that my dog had such a sweet companion to play with. I would highly recommend Greta to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Great experience boarding Summer for 3 days! They sent updates daily and were very easy to communicate with. They even got Summer special treats!”
“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”
“This is the second time that Lola has stayed with Roland and Katerina and their boys, and we couldn’t be happier. They take such good care of her and send lots of photos, videos and messages. I think it would be hard to leave her with anyone else at this point! Thank you so much!”
“Luna really had a great week with Alyson! I highly recommend her. She sent is daily updates. She took special care of our cat. The transition back home has been amazing. Hoping she will be our cat sitter forever!”
“Great, easy stay! Steven was responsive and flexible with pickup times. He worked with me to understand my dog's feeding quirks and walk schedule. He sent pictures during the trip and I knew my doggo was safe and comfortable with him. Thanks!”

Yi was fantastic. Had great communication and could tell she really cared for our dog. We have a very nervous high energy dog and Yi made him and us feel incredibly comfortable. Consistent pictures and our dog loved hers. Would 100% book with Yi again and recommend t anyone.
Sean was amazing with our six month old puppy, Bourbon. He listened to all our concerns and managed Bourbon who is still in the crazy puppy phase. Bourbon made some great friends during his week and Sean sent videos of Bourbon playingwith lots of friendly dogs. Definitely highly recommend.
Zach was great with my dog Poppy. She is a bouncy, high energy and somewhat anxious dog. She does not always take to people but she loved Zach right away! Zach stayed overnight, fed her and let her out the first evening and then took her for a long walk/jog the next day. He left the house in perfect shape. He is very personable and easy to communicate with. I recommend him highly.
This was our first time using Rover, and Holly made us feel completely at ease from the start. Mochi takes a while to warm up to new people and situations, and Holly was so experienced and patient with her that we never had to worry. She was also a great communicator and sent us regular updates and photos while we were away. Mochi was in wonderful hands! We would absolutely recommend Holly and will definitely use her again.
Kim is one of the kindest and sweetest people ever. She took excellent care of my pups, communicated well, and sent photos throughout the day. She has earned my trust, and I plan to use her as my dogs’ primary dog sitter. Thank you for taking care of Lucky and Petunia; they had such a great time and will miss you and your family!
Jun Ho and Hanna always make Petunia feel at home. She spent a full day with them and their dog, Boki, and was so comfy she had to be called multiple times before she came out to go home (it was late and she had already settled onto the couch to snooze). That's how comfy, cozy, and safe she felt!
We could not have asked for a better sitter for Sofi than Samuel. Caring for our "dog-ter" comes with unique needs and extra responsibilities as she’s gotten older, but Samuel handled every single detail with incredible grace, patience, and warmth. From managing her special diet to administering her Adequan shots seamlessly, Samuel took care of her health and routine with complete precision and confidence. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our sweet girl was in such capable hands. Beyond the technical care, Samuel was exceptionally flexible and accommodating with our schedule, making the entire experience completely stress free. Throughout his time with her, the updates and photos Samuel sent meant the world to us. It was clear from every picture just how loved, comfortable, and pampered Sofi was. Samuel treated our dog-ter with the deep affection and gentle kindness that every senior dog deserves. What touched us most of all was watching Samuel say goodbye to Sofi at the end of her stay. Seeing him make a point to give her one last heartfelt hug before leaving was so moving and meant a lot, and showed his deep care for our pup. That level of genuine heart and care is rare, and we cannot recommend Samuel highly enough!
Mayra was very lovely to work with and was SUPER flexible and accommodating. I was kind of a pain in the butt given all my schedule changes 😂. But she was more than happy to accommodate with watching Kira. Took a load of stress off knowing my pup was in good hands and i didnt have to worry. She also provided tons of pictures and kept me up to date on how she was doing. Definitely recommend her to anyone!
She took good care of Minnie while I was away for over a week. Everything went smoothly, and I had no issues during her stay. Communication was fine overall, although I would have appreciated more regular updates and photos without having to ask. Overall, she was reliable and I would consider using her again.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet .
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
