“Luciana and her mother were great with our 4 month old puppy Stan. It was the first time we had left him for an extended period, and he loved them. Will definitely be using them.”
“Freddi was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Edie! She sent great photos and updates during her stay. She clearly took great care of Edie, taking her on long walks on the beach every morning and being sensitive to her needs since she can be anxious in new places. We definitely would recommend Freddi and hope to have Edie stay again in the future!”
“We left our two older dogs with Amy and her family while we went on a weekend away. They were well taken care of and treated like family members. It was so nice to know they were in good hands.”
“Akhil and his family were absolutely amazing! This was my first time ever leaving my baby girl, Nala, with strangers, and they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. They sent frequent updates, pictures, and even arranged a video call so I could check in on her. Nala is a rescued dog and tends to be scared of strangers at first, but they were so patient and thoughtful that they quickly won her over. She’s also a very picky eater, but they spoiled her with treats to make sure she ate well. I can’t thank them enough for the care and love they gave her. I will definitely trust them to take care of Nala again in the future!”
“Marie was a wonderful sitter for Driver! She was very attentive to his specific needs and they seemed to get along great. All in all, we were very comfortable knowing that he was in good hands with Marie and wouldn't hesitate to work with her again!”
“We sent our little Skaii to board with Jennifer and her family for the 4th, they were so lovely and caring. She sent adorable photos of her to us as well, overall loved how she took care of our little chihuahua and would definitely rebook with her again! ❤️”
“Kate was just amazing! She took excellent care of my dog Max. She sent daily updates so I wouldn’t worry while traveling. She’s the best! Max loves her and so do I — definitely rebooking her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for the past 5+ years. Experience includes fostering multiple animals for animal care centers in Boston and NYC. Now I take care of our 3 year old dog who lives with us. In our household there is my wife and I and our 3 year old spayed bernedoodle (Denali). I work from home so someone will always be there to watch over your dog. Mornings start with a walk of ~15-30 minutes followed by breakfast. Around lunch I take a quick break so dogs can go potty and usually followed with some enrichment, cuddles, and treats. Dinner is around 5:30 and followed by another walk or outdoor time in our backyard. Finally potty around 8-9PM before bedtime. Denali sleeps in her own crate. On weekends we aim to do a 1-2 hour hike in the middlesex fells. My wife and I live in a community with a large quiet backyard. Plenty of space for playing and running on leash. Our dog Denali is ~32 lbs, loves other dogs, and is very gentle.
“Martha has taken care of Oli several times and it is always a relief knowing that we leave our Oli in such good hands! Martha is amazing, caring, and always goes the extra mile to make sure that Oli is having the best time. Highly highly recommend Martha!”
“Jackie did a great job taking care after our dog Sonya. She proposed to meet before the stay to meet Sonya and make her feel more comfortable. Jackie has a fenced backyard, which was ideal for our 9 year old dog. Sonya had spine issues in the past, so she needs to be carried on the stairs and Jackie accommodated this request without any issues. We recommend Jackie's services to anyone!”
“Jinjjing was just super with our pup Bear & we really appreciated her help as our booking request was last minute. How lucky we were!! Jingjing is terrific & we will most definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Heather took great care of my goldendoodle (Riva) for a weekend. Heather was very communicative and shared pictures and updates throughout the stay, and it was comforting to see Riva looking so relaxed and at home. She seemed to fit right into Heather's family! I would definitely recommend Heather to others.”
“Uni looked so happy staying with Rose and her family. Rose was very responsive and understanding, and provided regular updates while we were away. Will definitely book again next time!”
“Arkham had a great stay with Jessica and her family. We were nervous as this was our first time boarding Arkham with Rover, but Jessica put us at ease with pictures and updates. Arkham made friends with their two pups and came home happy, healthy, and tired from playing. We'll definitely book with her the next time we need to board him!”
“We highly recommend Faith! She was easy to book, communicate with before and during our dogs stay and she treated our dog like family. We received daily updates and photos and knew that she was in good hands. We will definitely be using Faith again whether it be for an extended stay, walk or visit.”

Nicole was fantastic with my dog Whiskey. He can be very anxious, but she was so patient and caring, and he clearly felt comfortable with her. I got updates, photos, and it was obvious he was in good hands. I’d definitely book her again and highly recommend her. 😊
Jessica was super nice during drop off, communicative during our older pups stay with plenty of photos, and super accommodating when our drop off timeline had to change! I would definitely recommend Jessica to other nervous pet parents and will be hiring her again!!
Deborah and Ralph watched our very adorable but high maintenance senior dog Lucy! She was the happiest girl with them! We appreciate the patience and kindness they showed Lucy and the updates while she was staying with you guys! Ralph and Deborah were so nice and friendly and provided us with constant updates and photos! We knew she was in great hands! Lucy can’t wait for her next sleep over with Ralph and Deborah! :)
Our dog, Bailey, had a wonderful time with Mariia & Mikhail – it was very clear from all the photos! We were away for almost two weeks and were initially a little nervous to leave Bailey for so long. Their communication and adorable photos of Bailey having fun, getting a lot of attention, and taking walks put us at ease and made our hearts sing. Our Bailey is 14 years old, so she has some walking limitations, and she has to take medication. Mariia & Mikhail handled everything like pros, and we truly don’t think she could have been in better hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to leave their pet with friendly, responsible, and communicative sitters.
Asia was WONDERFUL!! This was our first time leaving our pup Chickoo for such an extended period of time and she went above and beyond to ease my mind. She was extremely communicative, provide multiple updates with pictures daily, and answered any questions we had. Asia took care of Chickoo like he was her own and we are so thankful we found her! 10000% recommend her to anyone looking to have peace of mind while traveling.
Pete was a terrific host for Hank! Hank and Fudge got along wonderfully and became great buddies. Pete kept Hank on his regular schedule, made sure he got plenty of enjoyable walks, and treated him like one of the family. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Hank was genuinely sad to say goodbye to both Pete and Fudge. We wouldn't hesitate to have Hank stay with Pete again!
David is fantistic with my dog, Cassey. Cassey is getting older. David takes great care of her and caters to her every need. I got many pictures of Cassey during her stay at David's. Cassey is very calm and content when she's at David's. It's like her second home. I am very relaxed on my vacation knowing David it taking care of Cassey. She's always in good hands when she's with David. Thanks David for your kindness and calmness with Cassey.
We were so thankful Kristin was able to watch our Golden Retriever, Rylie, on short notice! She has such a calm, easygoing personality that instantly made us feel comfortable leaving Rylie with her. You can tell she truly loves what she does and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. She also checked in a couple of times each day with adorable pictures and little updates, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was such a great experience, and we’d absolutely book with Kristin again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl! 🐾💕
Andrea was AMAZING! I never had to worry about Enzo at all, I knew he was in great hands. Andrea was a great communicator, sent updates and photos, took him on walks and played fetch (his favorite thing ever) and treated him as if he was hers. The only thing I worried about was if he was going to want to come back home with me! Highly recommend!
Jessica was great with Teddy, my golden retriever, when he boarded with her. She sent updates and photos daily and seemed to treat him just like her own dogs. I trust her completely and won't hesitate to have Teddy stay with her in the future. I highly recommend this wonderful sitter.
Yiru is an incredibly responsible and thoughtful sitter! She took wonderful care of Rosie and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up times. Yiru is extremely polite and easy to communicate with—I felt completely comfortable leaving Rosie in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!
Wei is a very trustworthy host! She took photos every time she fed my dog and didn’t accept too many dogs at once, unlike some other hosts. My dog had a wonderful time with her and her family. I would highly recommend Wei to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet host.

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 .
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.

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.
