About: I have always had a passion for animals, which I have actively pursued through animal care work and volunteering. These experiences have taught me the importance of having a safe, clean, loving, and happy environment for all animals! I currently have open availability, I am available on demanding hours such as; weekends, weekdays, holidays, and long hours. I have no problem with transportation, and can show up when needed! I have a fenced in yard with two of my own dogs at home. I also have animal daycare experience and can easily prioritize the safety and well being of all animals!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since age 10 and am trusted by family, friends, and neighbors with their fur-babies. I’m comfortable walking, bathing, helping train, and just hanging out with your favorite furry family member! I work remotely, so can drop by any time of day and am comfortable with furry friends of all shapes, sizes, and ages. :) As a remote worker, it’s pretty easy for me to get up and care for a furry friend whenever! My flexible schedule allows more time to hang during the week anytime, and sometimes on weekends. I care for pets within the client’s home, not my own — but as a girl who loves a rule book, as long as you outline your comfortability and your pup’s needs, I’m good to do whatever is needed!
“Megan was fantastic!! Amazing! She was great with my cat, very communicative and super sweet! Exactly the type of person you want watching your furry best friend. Highly recommmend!”

About: I have lived and taken care of dogs as far back as I can remember! From huskies, to mixed breed, I have had all types of dogs in my life but have had Goldens the last 15 years. I have taken care of puppies and I have had to administer subcutaneous fluids to our aging pup. There is nothing I wouldn't do for my pup, or yours. I am typically home but if not, never more than 10 minutes away. Any dog welcomed to my home will be treated like family and will get the same walks and outside time as our dog. I have a one year golden that loves to play in our fenced in yard and take walks around the neighborhood. He frequently sleeps on our couch and bed, so if you are comfortable with that your dog is welcome to as well! If not, I have no problem keeping dogs off furniture if that’s the preference. I will take the same care of your dog as I do mine.
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bunch of other animals, and I have always loved taking care of them. My family, neighbors, and friends have all relied on me to take care of their pets over the years, whether it's for walks, check-ins, or overnights, and I would love to do the same for your pet. I'm a college student and have plenty of time during the week for quick check-ins and walks, and I will be able to stay overnight most weekdays and on weekends. I am very comfortable around dogs and would have no problem going on walks, crating your dog, administering most medicine, or doing any other tasks that may be required.
About: I have 5 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Whether it is for over night stays, walking, and cleaning cages; I am a trustworthy individual that takes great responsibility with your space and pet. I work full-time (M-F) so I would be available to assist in tasks after 5pm during those particular days. On Saturdays and Sundays I am available from 8am-8pm so I would be able to house and pet sit over night those days. My schedule can be flexible so please do not hesitate to reach out to inquire! I will not be able to have your pet in my apartment, but I will always maintain a clean and safe environment in your home.
About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my life to understanding and caring for dogs and small animals of all kinds.

Consistent walks, bathroom breaks, and interactive activities help provide mental and physical stimulation, while quiet time and affection build trust and comfort. With me, your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for. I strive to ensure that every animal feels loved and has fun in my care. For references or inquiries, please contact Chanleysk9kreation.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Boxford 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 .

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 .
