“Jessica was very kind and considerate of Rocky ‘s needs. I absolutely felt so content knowing Rocky was in Jessica‘s care and will feel much at ease when she is watching Rocky for future dates. When Rocky was picked up, he looked like he was relaxed and had a fun time. I would highly recommend Jessica.”
“This was my first time on Rover and my yellow lab Gus had a great time with Rebeca and her family! She provided photo updates and was very friendly. They live on a nice neighborhood and have a great home for dogs to feel at home and play!! Thank you again. We will definitely be booking again with Rebeca”
“Fantastic puppy sitter!! Jasper loves going to play at Carol's and comes home exhausted. I love knowing he's well looked after, happy, and safe. Great communication and pictures. Thank you so much!!”
About: I am taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old when I got my first dog, I worked with an NGO as I grew to help with rescues. I have been around dogs all my life basically. When I moved countries I decided to expand my family and we got Blu :) (my husky) I treat all fur babies as part of my family, and make sure the pet feels safe and loved. Be ready to get alot of pics and videos of your fur baby when you leave them with me I work from home, its me and my husky while kids and husband are out most of the day :) We go out for walks, we have a small dog park sometimes we go there as well. I take Blu 3 times for her walk as she enjoys it and I get to complete my steps I live in an apartment (1500 Sq Ft) no fenced yard but we have well maintained society where I take them out for walk, we also have a small park for them to run and burn energy. We enjoy a good company !
“Elizabeth and Neil made our anxious goldendoodle feel right at home! They were so great with him, gave him lots of love and attention, and communicated excellently with us, sending lots of great photos and videos throughout his stay.”
“We so appreciate Kayla! Our dog was a little shy and concerned about being left behind, but Kayla took care to introduce him one by one to the other dogs, and soon he made a bestie! We will definitely let him stay with Kayla next time we need a doggy daycare.”
“Carol responded to the call of duty right when I needed her! I recently had surgery this week and overestimated being up for the challenge of healing and watching my pup. I attempted to call local pet hotels, but because my puppy hadn’t been with them before it was impossible to get in at the last minute. Carol not only replied right after I messaged her (at 7 AM in the morning) but she even agreed to meet me somewhere that was closer to my home (due to me healing and not able to be in the car for long) to pick up the pup. I truly recommend Carol and she has been such a lifesaver! She sent me a picture and updates of my pup (he has never been around anyone but myself and my family and this made me feel very at ease) and there were other pups for him to hang out with! She has even been checking up with my pup and myself the day after and I will definitely be using her services again. Thanks Carol!”
“I hesitated writing a review because Rosemary was so great that I don't want to share her accolades with everyone because the she'll just get booked up. She took care of my dog like it was hers and my pup couldn't have been happier. It was a pleasure to have Rosemary watch my Mabel!”
“Stella loves it here. Moved to the area and had no idea where to start to find daycare/boarding. Kimm has been great to work with and so accommodating as our schedule moved around a bit. We love that our anxious pup loves it here and comes back so relaxed. All the walks and play in such a nice safe place have been great for her.”
“Cindy is so attentive to all the dogs that she cares for, there is great outdoor space for them to play, a lovely screened in porch and inside her home by her side to rest. I trust her and her two pups are so good with all doggie guests! So glad I found her, Daisy and Gummy!”
“Another great stretch of daycare days with Likun and EL! He races to her house every morning which tells me he loves going! I can go to work knowing he’s in good hands. Thank you again!”
“Jessica and her family took great care of our dog, Grace. She loved her doggy day care and came back tired from endless playing and cuddles with Jessica’s kids. We definitely use their services again ;-)”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years. I previously owned and cared for my own family dog for over five years, which taught me the responsibility, patience, and attention dogs need to feel comfortable and secure. I provide a safe, clean, family-oriented home where every dog receives individual attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. My home has a large front yard and backyard that offer plenty of outdoor space for supervised play and fresh air. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I do my best to make each stay comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I welcome friendly, house-trained dogs and provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. I currently have a flexible schedule throughout the week, especially during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and drop-in visits. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to following each pet's routine and individual needs. I’m happy to work with pet owners to provide care that fits their schedules and gives them peace of mind while they’re away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and house rules. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure every pet is supervised, comfortable, and cared for in a calm, clean, and positive environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and have peace of mind while they're away.
“Belinda took great care of our dog Ollie and sent regular updates and pictures. Ollie is an anxious dog and he seemed very comfortable there. We would definitely have him stay with her again!”
“David and his family are great! David is very responsive and has regularly kept us in the loop with videos and photos. They have taken care of our dog Steve as if he were there own. We have used them twice and will continue to use them.”
“Luci and her family were absolutely incredible for our pup! From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating. During her time with them, she was treated like family! Luci sent regular updates, including adorable pictures and videos, which made me feel so at ease. This was my first time leaving my pup alone and she was so happy every day she was there. I highly recommend!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Xiuping and her family. They are so kind and friendly. Very responsive and trustworthy as well. I got many cute pics and felt my dog was given a lot of attention and well cared for. I would definitely rebook next time.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
I can’t recommend Nicole enough! She watched my dog for the day while my boyfriend and I were out, and she made the whole experience completely stress-free. From the moment we dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. She took such good care of him, and it was obvious that she genuinely loves animals. She also sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us enjoy our day without worrying. Knowing he was safe, happy, and well cared for meant everything to us. I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet!

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.

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 .
