“Yang was so great with our dog! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. She was also so wonderful to us, our flight was canceled and rescheduled for 2 days later. Luckily we were able to get out the following night but Yang was so accommodating and kind while we were in a state of worry. Lucky will be back in a few weeks for a second stay!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Man and Zhen! I could tell she was well cared for and loved on through their check ins and photos. I really appreciated their flexibility and communication. We aren't local but if we're ever back in the area would definitely use them again and would recommend!”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Linda! From the moment I met, it was clear how caring, reliable, and attentive she is. My furry baby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable the entire time I was away. Linda provided just enough regular updates and photos showing how cared for my baby was. It’s such a relief to know my baby was treated like family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”
“Hannah was amazing!! Olive came home so happy and clearly had a really incredible stay with Hannah. She made her feel comfortable and at home in a new place. We got so many adorable photos and videos that made it feel easier to be away.”
“Our rescue hound, Biscuit, who had a troubled background, spent a happy week with Patrick. Our concerns about leaving Biscuit with a stranger for a week was assuaged by daily photos and videos of our boy happily napping on a bed provided by Patrick and exploring his new neighbourhood enthusiastically. Thank you, Patrick! We shall be calling you again! Dan Cronin, Hank Anderson and Biscuit Somerville”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“We had a last minute trip during a holiday weekend and reached out to Hunter who quickly agreed to take care of our 15 year old toy poodle. She was quick to respond and provided great communication during the entire care. Our dog also got along great with her dogs. Would use her again!”
“We’ve used Aurora multiple times for boarding with Hondo and she’s done a great job! Hondo is always excited to go and she’s very responsive and provides lots of updates.”
“My dog came back after three nights happy, relaxed, and well fed...what more can you ask for? Apparently, more! Example: through a mix-up, I didn't get my dog's small bowl back. No big deal; I messaged Kimm to please keep it. Ah, no: she came by my house a few days later with the bowl...*and* it was now sparkling clean! Kimm also has a lovely backyard and sent me pictures/updates. I highly recommend Kimm!”
“Amy is fantastic!! This is our husband and I’s first experience with Rover and we will easily book with her again. She was easy to communicate with. Sent us updates with photos and videos and treated Pino like her own. She took him to many walks and let him play in their yard with her pup Bumi. Bonus that they’re close to the beach (perfect for an impromptu dog photoshoot). Thanks so much Amy!!!”
“Tiffany was great with Buck. I contacted her sort of last minute, and she was accommodating. She sent me a few check ins that made my day while traveling. Buck came home happy and healthy. I recommend Tiffany.”
“The best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Christina was extremely flexible and communicative! She provided photos of our pup having the best time all weekend and frankly our dog was less than impressed with us when we picked her up. Will definitely be booking her again.”
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.
“Victoria was fantastic! She is super responsive, sent the best updates and made sure our pup was very well taken care of. Juno came home happy and tired. Even when I went for pick up they were out on a walk. Thank you Victoria for taking such good care of our girl. Will definitely book again!”
“Ashley and her family took great care of our dog Rigby for a week. We received lots of happy pics and updates, and he always seemed very content. Drop-off and pick-up were smooth/easy and her communication was great. Would highly recommend Ashley, and will certainly plan to book with her in the future.”
“Rachel took wonderful care of Yogi while we were away for more than a week. He was clearly very happy and comfortable with her even though it was his first time staying with her. She kept us consistently updated with photos and videos. Yogi got along very well with her dog and her child. Rachel is very knowledgeable about dogs, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would happily leave Yogi with her again.”
“Michael took our dog Skogie for a somewhat last minute request while we were planning to head out of state for the weekend. Quick communication, sent several photos during the 24ish hours. His daughter was so sweet & excited to help watch her. Would use again! Thanks so much!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Winchester
Sahana and Raman were wonderful! They took the time to meet our Red and make sure he was comfortable with them and their Cinnamon while we were still present. They were also very flexible and communicative. Red looked very happy and comfy, both in the many pics/videos they sent through the stay, and when we picked him up after a week. Would definitely book again!
Kamila was terrific! She took such great care of our dog Gronk that he was sad to leave when we came to pick him up. She kept us up to date with the fun they were having and allowed gums to rest easy knowing our pup was in good hands. Would absolutely recommend Kamila to anyone needing a sitter!
We're very happy to have found Andrew on Rover and we'll definitely book with him again. Percy enjoyed his stay and was exceptionally well taken care of in Andrew's home. We were away for the weekend during a big storm when it was truly challenging to walk a dog. Nonetheless, Andrew made sure that our energetic Percy got some outside time and stimulation. Andrew's calm and confident personality was a perfect match for our big goofy golden retriever, who at 2-1/2 years old is still in puppy mode. Thank you Andrew! We appreciate you!
We had such a wonderful experience with Carol! Our Boxer, Jarvis, stayed with her and absolutely loved his time there. It was clear when we picked him up that he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. Carol was incredibly kind, attentive, and loving toward Jarvis, and we really appreciated knowing that he was in such good hands while we were away. She made him feel right at home, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was having a great time. Jarvis came home happy and tired, which is always the best sign! We would absolutely trust Carol with him again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she gave Jarvis! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kathryn is amazing! Her proactive and reliable communication made us feel at ease while away. This was the first time our dog has stayed with someone outside of our family, and Kathryn made both our dog and us feel safe and well-taken care of. We are so grateful for the care and attention she showed our pup.
Carmen was very responsible and accommodating with our schedule. Sugar had great time and looked relaxed with Carmen. Carmen sent updates with pictures which made me feel at ease during our trip. I will highly recommend her to my friends. I will also book her for future trips. Thank you Carmen 💕

92% of sitters in Winchester can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Winchester home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Winchester.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Winchester sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 .
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.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
