“Michael was wonderful- he relies so quickly and updates my puppy with photo. He communicates very thoroughly and timely. He also provides great feedbacks on trainings! We will definitely continue working with him!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 25 years and truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large breeds, as well as puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require extra patience, medication, or special care. I'm naturally calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. As someone who works for myself, I have the flexibility to provide reliable daytime care and give each visit my full attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I treat every pet as if they were one of my own. I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable, personalized care for your pets. I'm available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication, and companionship. I always do my best to be punctual, reliable, and accommodate your pet's routine. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I believe pets feel most secure when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special needs. I'll care for your home with the same respect I would my own, provide regular updates with photos, and treat every pet like a member of my own family.
“Luiz and his family are amazing! Took such good care of my pup Bentley. Treated him like their own. So many cute videos and pictures sent through out the day! Bentley came home exhausted from all the play time. He also loves their dog Molly. Definitley will be booking stays there again. Highly recommend for any pet parent looking for a safe and caring place to leave their babies.”
“We were so lucky to find Jacquie! She was very flexible squeezing in a meet & greet with our dog who can be anxious around new people. She has a great, calm energy that immediately put our dog at ease. He loves playing with her 2 dogs and snuggling with her! She is responsive, professional and kind. Thank you Jacquie!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent many years helping friends and family take care of their pets. It’s something that brings me a lot of joy. Over the years, I’ve looked after all kinds of pets — from energetic pit bulls and bulldogs to small dogs like Shih Tzus and even cats. Sometimes I’ve stayed in people’s homes for a week or two, and other times I’ve just stopped by for walks or check-ins. I’ve also welcomed pets into my own home when friends needed someone they could trust. I have a calm, friendly personality and get along well with animals, even if we’re meeting for the first time. I’m always careful to notice when a pet might be nervous or needs some space, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible since I work a per diem job and can choose when to take shifts. This gives me plenty of time for pet sitting, walks, or overnight stays. I’m usually available on short notice, too. The only thing I plan ahead for is care for my own cat while I’m away, but that’s easy for me to arrange — so it won’t affect my availability or reliability. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles just the way they’re used to. I make sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. If a pet stays in my home, I treat them like one of my own. I create a calm, cozy environment with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions from the owner so each pet’s needs are met. I’m gentle, patient, and understanding of different personalities — whether a pet is shy and needs space or energetic and ready to play.
“Samantha and Brian has a large backyard for my dog to roam and they took him on a nice hike in the woods. My dog had so much fun with them and their young kids. I would choose them again for a eventful daycare that my swiss shepherd definitely needs!”
“I highly recommend Lee...the immediate level of comfort Atlas had as well as myself with Lee and his dog Sharif... The meet and greet went great with others as well... Atlas was in very goods hands and I would no problem booking with Lee in the future... Thankyou Lee”
“Thank you Forough and Amir! We were nervous at first how Russell would do and how he would get along with other dogs, so we were so relieved to hear that he fit right in! We would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Forough and Amir again and look forward to scheduling another visit!”
“Our pup has enjoyed spending days with Dawn and it is especially nice for us to have a place where she can comfortably interact with young children, as we don’t have that opportunity to offer her at home. Dawn also has a great fenced in backyard with lots of interesting things to smell and ways to run around and work off energy, which is great for both our pup and for us when we pick her up and know that she’s had a fun filled active day!”
“Our first day with Melissa went very well. We wanted a sitter who had a small young dog to socialize with our Louie, and her Casper was a great playmate. We'll do it again! Thank you!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. My partner and I have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
“Alexis was such a kind and patient sitter! She immediately knew how to handle Louis with him being so small and even cleaned up an accident he had indoors! Her dog and Louis got along so well and we would absolutely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“I had to find someone to watch Archie last minute and Paola took him right in! She sent so many pics and updates it was fantastic! And unbelievably, Archie is tired!!! He is a very high energy pup so it's great to have a sleepy pup after a long day at work. Thank you!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life but have owned my own dog for the past 4 years. I am constantly watching my friend's dogs while they are away and know how important it is to have someone to trust and provide a loving and caring home away from home for your pet while you are away! I currently work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! I have a highly energetic dog, so we take several walks during the day and then I take her to nearby parks with trails after work. I'm available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have a medium sized fenced in yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fir baby company! My dog has free reign of the house and is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed but can also crate your dog if needed.
“Our new puppy had a fantastic day with Amy and her other dogs as well!! He came home happy and exhausted!! I was lucky to find her so quickly and for her to be so quick to respond to my last minute need for her!! We will continue with Amy and I know just from day one Jack was wicked happy!! So that means we are!! Woot Woot!!”
About: I love animals and have been around them as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience with dogs and cats, from birth to their last breath. I believe in positive reinforcement training. I am very loving and treat all animals with respect but can be strict when required for safety. With me your babies will feel like they are at home away from home. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost always and your fur babies will have lots of love and company. I have a large grassy yard, and I live near a pond and multiple trails. I also have a Chihuahua mix girl, who is very friendly and loves making new friends.

She is like my child and makes me smile, keeps me company and I dont know what I would do without her. I love her with all my heart and wouldnt trade her for the world. I would treat anyone's dog like I would my own. They are all special in their own way. I would be honored to take care of your dog, I look forward to meeting you very soon. Thank you, Robin K I work full time at home and I'm able to walk my dog and take her out anytime! I'm available all day. My Snickers would love a play mate. I dont have crate but if yours needs one you'll have to bring it. I'm very diligent in taking my pup out all day long.
“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you could leave: We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lingwen! She took exceptional care of Max and treated him like he was part of her own family. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that she genuinely cared about his happiness, comfort, and well-being. Max came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We truly appreciated her kindness, attention to detail, and the personal touch she brought to every aspect of his care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated to caring for their pet. Thank you so much, Lingwen! 🐾❤️”
“Brenda was great! She helped us out a lot by caring for our two pups for 9 hours while we were away. They had a great time with her and her husband and we’ll be scheduling with her again!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Barre commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 427 sitters in Barre, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
