About: I’ve had dogs all my life and my philosophy is “the bigger, the better!” I have experience caring for big, medium and small dogs, cats, turtles, and other pets. And I give every animal I meet a personalized nickname! I’m currently working 40 hours a week. I leave around 7:30AM for work and get back around 4PM. With my current schedule, I could do weekend pet care or pet care for those who don’t need as much attention during the day (ie. don’t need to go outside to use the bathroom). To keep your pets safe in your home, I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, medication and routines to the letter! I also have a dog at my family home and a cat in my own apartment, so I am very vigilant about keeping doors closed and locked so no pets escape. I am also down to send update photos and messages if wanted!!
About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant, as well as shelter experience. I'm available for drop in visits and dog walking. I do not have a set schedule at work yet so I will have different availability every week. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.
About: I'm a lifelong dog and cat owner who treats every animal like family. I build strong bonds with dogs through communication, patience, and positive reinforcement. I enjoy basic training, teaching tricks, playing, walks, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they deserve. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm looking for side work taking care of people's pets along side my loveable Labrador. I'm available for walks, car rides, pet sitting and pet check-ins. I care for pets with patience, attention, and genuine affection. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level rather than treating every dog the same. I provide plenty of companionship, positive reinforcement, exercise, and mental stimulation while making sure they are safe and comfortable in their own home or mine. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel like part of the family while they’re in my care.
“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!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful, kind, reliable, and very responsive. She was available on short notice, which was a huge help for us. She took great care of not only our cat, Nuggets, but also our 4 chickens! We felt completely at ease knowing our babies were in such good hands. We were so happy with her care that we have already hired her again for our next vacation. Highly recommend!”

About: Having spent my entire around dogs and now a proud dog mom to a 3 year old Australian Shepherd named Willow, I am well acquainted with the responsibility of pet ownership. I can offer security for families and dog parents when traveling away from home. I offer home boarding with a large back yard for play and doggy adventures. As an active person who loves being outside with an active dog partner I provide exercise for your doggy friend while your away. I can supplement daily cares of caring for a pet including basic grooming and medication suspension if necessary. Not afraid of large breed dogs or those with anxiety I welcome dogs of all sizes and temperaments into my life. When we travel we should travel with confidence knowing our furry friends are well taken care of, let me help you travel with confidence.
“I cannot thank Blaise enough for how wonderful he is with my two special pups. He has been so reliable, helpful and flexible. I never would’ve dreamed I could find someone as kind and responsive. He’s worth his weight and gold to us!”
About: I have been a pet owner for my whole life. I have had bunnys, dogs and cats. I love all animals and they love me. I am currently not working as of now for a little bit while I transition to something else so your dogs will have my full undivided attention.

“Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!”

“My cats were well cared for while we were gone. Dee had good open communication with us while caring for our cats, she asked questions if something wasn't clear and was very honest with us about everything. Thank you Dee!”
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! 😂

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
