“Great as usual! Left Penny for over a week, which is a long trip for her, but knew she was in great hands. Joe was responsive and flexible as always. Thanks!”
“Tauryn was wonderful to my dog, Ozzie! She's a great communicator and I got so many pictures and updates, and knew he was in great hands the whole time. They went for lots of walks, even to the farmer's market. With her schedule, it was super easy to coordinate pickup and drop off. Thanks for giving Ozzie such great care, Tauryn!”
“Samiksha took such great care of Togo during his stay! She sent us lots of photos and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Togo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We really enjoyed having Samiksha look after him and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“Once again, Allie is the best. Sandy loves her and always has a good time which makes it so much easier for us to travel! Super responsive always.”
“Shuhua watched our dog Sesame while we went on an international trip. She sent regular updates and let us call her every day so that Sesame could hear our voices. Thank you for taking good care of our baby!”
“Oscar took great care of our dog, Bella! They were very communicative (+ sent lots of photos and videos of our girl having the best time). The first night Bella had some tummy problems, and they took care of her and communicated throughout the day. She was better by day two! I can’t speak highly enough! Will definitely have Oscar watch Bella again soon!”
“Phillipa was such a pleasure to communicate with - she and her husband very clearly cared for our pup and enjoyed having him. 10/10 and will definitely use them in the future”
“Natalie was absolutely amazing with Leo and Nala! From the very beginning, she was so intentional during our meet and greet and took the time to really get to know both of them, their personalities, and what they needed before we even handed them over to her. That meant so much to us and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Throughout their stay, Natalie sent plenty of updates and kept me in the loop, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s very clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she takes care of, and she is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. We truly have nothing but great things to say about Natalie. Leo and Nala were so well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. We will absolutely be rebooking with her!”
“Jason was amazing. He took such good care of our boy - good walks, play with his dog Noah outside and made sure he received a heavy dose of love and snugs.”
“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.”
“Can’t begin to explain how amazing Liz and the rest of her family were with my two boys ❤️. I knew as soon as we met the boys were going to love her. Liz is very cheerful, loving and attentive. She did an amazing job at keeping me up to date and most importantly making sure my boys felt at home and safe. I received daily pictures which included dj and beans taking car rides, walks, sleeping and just hanging with the family. If you love your furry companions as much as I do, book with Liz, you won’t be disappointed ❤️”
“This was the second time Stephen and Cecilia watched Winnie, and they were just as amazing as the first! They always keep in touch, send plenty of pictures, and make sure Winnie is happy and loved the entire time. She’s actually bored to tears now that she’s back home! I’d absolutely recommend them — not only for the great care they give to Winnie, but also for how accommodating they are with pick-up and drop-off times”
“Julie watched our dog, Arya, for us during our wedding. We have always left her with friends or family and this was the first time not doing so. Julie was very responsive during booking and had Arya and I do a visit to make sure everyone would be safe and comfortable. She did a great job keeping our girl safe, loved, and cared for during such an important time. Julie sent plenty of updates and was very communicative and responsive. I could not recommend her more!”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.”
“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”

“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”

We had such a great experience with Michaela! Our pup stayed with her for two weeks, and we couldn’t have been more appreciative of her help. Michaela was attentive, caring, and made sure he was happy and comfortable throughout his stay. We also really appreciated the consistent photo updates. It was amazing to know he was doing well and being so well taken care of. Ru can’t wait to be back!

What can I say? There simply aren’t enough superlatives to thank Zarah & Honey for their care & kindness getting Alfred settled for his first sleepover. Every detail is arranged… what he likes, what he does, what he shouldn’t do! 😂 Honey is the perfect 7 year old companion… especially if your dog is anxious around others… she is trusting, kind and doesn’t mind them getting attention from her Momma. The set up is wonderful with huge country walks around Emerald Necklace in Jamaica Plain and photos and info sent to you always, to keep your mind at ease or just to make you smile. We were so grateful… this will open doors for us for breaks AND visits to the UK. In fact, Alfred is booked in for ten days at the end of October, and for the first time I’ll be able to breath… just knowing he is in great hands. Thank you.
Tauryn was wonderful to my dog, Ozzie! She's a great communicator and I got so many pictures and updates, and knew he was in great hands the whole time. They went for lots of walks, even to the farmer's market. With her schedule, it was super easy to coordinate pickup and drop off. Thanks for giving Ozzie such great care, Tauryn!
Su took such fantastic care of Fiona. From the start, we could tell that she felt at ease. Throughout her stay, her body language in the pictures showed that how comfortable and happy she was. Su kept us well informed, was very attentive to her needs and was very flexible with us. We'd love to have Fiona stay with Su again, thank you for taking such good care of her and giving us peace of mind!
Meg was so amazing caring for my cat Dumpling!! I was in between apartments moving from NYC to Boston over Labor Day weekend, and I am so thankful to have found Meg to house Dumpling for a few weeks. She was so communicative and sent me lots of pictures! Super flexible for pickup and drop off and provided the best care for Dumpling during a stressful time! I will absolutely be using her again in the future!!

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.
