About: I’m a very responsible and loving pet owner. Have rescued many pets and now have found myself with some free time and would love to help new pets and people! With notice, I am completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. (Monday, Tuesday & Friday I can be available for a few hours in the am) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a kiddie pool to cool off in! I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.
About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open. It gets me walking and outside, two things I enjoy. It helps my health and makes me feel good. Happy to walk your dog! Cannot have pets stay at my house as I have a kitty cat of my own. His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂
About: Hello, my name is Melanie! I recently quit my job to focus on school and am looking to get back into pet care! I've grown up with a bunch of pets from dogs, and cats to more exotic animals like reptiles, ferrets, and birds. I've also worked at a pet store for 5 years, as well as my fair share of family and friends pet sitter. I currently go to school full time, and spend the rest of the time studying with my pets! In our house we have a schedule and take turns when it comes to feedings, bathroom needs, and everything in between! Personally, I own one dog myself, Kira and she likes to spend all of her time outdoors, and is a snuggle bug. Kira also eats a very specific diet as she has allergies and takes supplements. I live in a house everyone is extremely welcoming to all pets and offers a vast fenced space for playing, although I prefer to not host, pets myself. I also have training experience and focus on positive reinforcement and leash training! I'm currently in school, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pups. I'm available weekdays. Weekends are usually open. Mondays- Anytime Tuesdays- Before 10am and After 5pm Wednesdays- Before 1:30pm and After 5pm Thursdays- before 10am and After 2pm Fridays- Before 10am and After 5pm (This will change middle of May 2026) I'm very good at following instructions and asking for clarification if needed. I always use single ingredient treats that are usually allergy friendly (lamb liver). I pride myself on being safe and respectful to everyone!
“Nicole went above and beyond caring for our five cats, even making it out during snowstorms. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands.”

“Kellee did a fantastic job with our kitties. Followed the feeding instructions. They can be difficult since one of our kitties is 19. She went over and above and brought in our mail. We will hire her again.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From my earliest memories, dogs have been part of my life—not just as pets, but as true family members. Over the years, I’ve been a dedicated “dog dad” through every stage of a dog’s life, from energetic puppies to senior companions requiring extra patience and care. I’ve also supported dogs through times of illness, so I understand how important it is to be attentive, gentle, and responsive to their needs. I pride myself on being kind, conscientious, reliable, and patient. When you trust me with your dog, you can expect professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care. I treat every dog as if they were my own—because I know they are a beloved part of your family. With my life experience comes a calm and steady approach, which helps me handle unexpected situations with confidence and good judgment. Whether it’s a daily walk, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I do freelance work and am able to design my own work schedule. I like to stay busy and am amenable to dog-walking or pet-sitting at hours others may not be able to accommodate. I care for every pet as if they were my own family member. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain the dog’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and respectful of both the pet and the client’s home. I also provide regular updates and photos so parents can feel confident that their pets are receiving loving, professional care. With years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and ages, including senior dogs and dogs with special needs, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality and needs.
“Margaret & Dawson were great and took care of our pets like they were their own. Very trustworthy, dependable and communicative. They sent us pictures and videos of the pets with each visit. We recommend booking with them and we will book with them again in the future!”
“Liz handled Daisy exceptionally well, even cleaning up after her when she had an accident. We can now leave Daisy with Liz next time, confident that she's in good hands. Despite Daisy not being well-socialized, Liz managed her wonderfully.”

“This was my first time using a pet sitting service so I was pretty nervous. Bradleigh is super friendly and outgoing and made this experience stress free! I highly recommend Bradleigh and wouldn't hesitate to choose her again in the future.”

“Blaise did an awesome job with my dogs while I was out of town. They warmed up to him quickly, and he made sure they were taken care of which kept my mind at ease. Would definitely hire again :)”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ashburnham stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ashburnham choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ashburnham with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
