“We couldn’t be happier with Dan and Veronique as our pet sitters! They are absolutely wonderful with our fur babies and treat them like their own. We feel completely comfortable knowing they're in such caring, loving, and trustworthy hands while we're away. They keep us updated with pictures. Our pups walk right in with no struggle and this lets me know they receive lots and love and attention and are comfortable in their home. It’s such a relief to find people you can genuinely trust with your pets. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and compassionate pet sitters. We are regulars and will definitely keep our 2 pups with them for future hockey touraments and vacations! ❤️🐾”
“Kathy took amazing care of Benji. He is an older dog and she took care of him like he was her own. She gave me daily updates to make me feel comfortable. I am so happy I choose her to take care of him.”
“Meghan was so wonderful with our girl Peggy. Kept me in touch and communicated so well, was so flexible and kind with my instructions. Peggy clearly had a fun time. Will definitely be bringing Peggy back for more stays. Thank you Meghan!”
“Rachel was amazing. She accommodated at a last minute request to watch my Theo. He was happy, cared for and I felt super happy with being away for the weekend knowing he was in good hands, thank you! :)”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for 8 years and love going on offleash adventures with my kiddos (Piper and Brewer)! I also have a large, fully fenced 1/2-acre yard; so there is lots of room to explore. I only offer boarding on weekends, so your dog(s) won't be left alone for long periods of time and will get plenty of attention. Because I have my own dog kiddos (Piper and Brewer), I will only accept dogs who are friendly and comfortable around them. From there, I’m happy to accommodate your dog's needs and routine as much as possible.

“We had such a great experience with Amberly and her partner! They made it so easy to ask questions, get updates, and share anything Daisy needed. I felt confident she was getting lots of cuddles, enrichment, and attention. Daisy can be quite anxious around dogs so seeing her want to play with Moony was a HUGE win! 🥹 We would absolutely rebook and highly recommend them!”
“I greatly appreciated Helena’s fast response to my last minute request for pet sitting. Her house is well set up for dog boarding and my dog was immediately at ease. Her dog Max was friendly to our dog and I could see they were going to have a fun visit together. Heena made sure to get the details about our dog’s habits and our wishes. There was a long lead and clothesline to allow the dogs to explore and play outside. It will be a great off lease area once the final piece of fence is installed. Heena was a pleasant host with whom I felt confident leaving our 2 yr old dog.”
“Jeanine was wonderful with my Squirt. She sent updates and pictures and I felt that Squirt was very comfortable with her. Thank you so much for keeping me at ease while she was with you Jeanine. Ill definitely be reaching out to you again! .”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chelmsford
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Véronique! Our dog requires extended care due to his paralysis, and she treated him like an absolute prince. He clearly enjoyed his time with her, and knowing he was in such caring and capable hands gave us great peace of mind. Véronique was attentive to every detail and kept us regularly updated throughout his stay. Her thoughtfulness, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend Véronique to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our little prince!

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
