About: I had cats most of my life and a dog for 6 years (all rescues, all now deceased). I am a mature, reliable and caring 58 year old with a post-graduate degree and have chosen to dedicate my retirement to animals - pet sitting, volunteering, and animal advocacy work. I have a wide open schedule as I am retired with very few commitments. I love animals and want to dedicate all my available time to caring for them. I will spend time petting, playing, and feeding your fur baby as well as cleaning up after them. I'm also happy to water plants and take in mail or any other reasonable service that may be required.
About: I’ve been around pets for as long as I can remember, and I know just how much love and care they bring into our lives. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and today I share my home with two playful cats of my own, Nala and Yeti. Over the years, I’ve looked after pets for friends and family — from daily walks and feedings to overnight stays while they’re away. Whether it’s an energetic dog or a more reserved cat, I take the time to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. From daily walks to overnight stays and boarding, I offer a full range of pet care — all with the same love and attention I give my own pets. I'm currently working full-time, however, I’m happy to provide care throughout the week, including weekends. Please contact me to discuss your pet’s needs and schedule a meet-and-greet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, hazard-free space for boarding and overnight stays. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet relaxed and secure. I stay attentive to their needs and keep you updated, so you can trust they’re well cared for.
“Kali was an excellent sitter for our high energy working breed dog (Coonhound/Springer Spaniel). It was great being able to leave our dog with someone with so much knowledge, training and understanding of dogs health and needs. Her exerperience in ecollar training was such a bonus as it allowed for a smooth transition and training maitenance under her care. She kept him happy, exercised and provided us with updates and photos throughout the stay. Will definetly continue to trust her with our pet sitting needs in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I’m not just here to walk dogs — I treat each pet like family. I’m attentive to their needs, whether it’s high energy playtime or calm companionship. I have experience with both puppies (including leash training and basic commands) and senior dogs who may need a slower pace or extra care. Being gentle, observant, and trustworthy means your dog will always feel safe and happy with me. I'm also very reliable and flexible with timing, and I always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and truly enjoy spending my time with animals. I’m completely free on Wednesdays and available for evening care on Fridays and weekends, making it easy for me to give your dog the time, attention, and love they need. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, or playtime, I always make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy in my care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I follow the pet’s regular routine as closely as possible — including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like medications or calming techniques. I keep the environment clean and calm, and I make sure pets feel secure and loved, especially when their owners are away. I also provide regular updates (photos and messages) so you feel confident knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I always treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own.
About: I have had the pleasure of living with two 50 pound Viszlas for the past ~10 years with my parents. Now that I have moved out I babysit them here and there and am missing having a pet around me! I currently work full time from home, meaning most weeknights and weekends remain available for pet care. I am flexible and willing to accommodate needs. I have a fenced yard as well as a deck suitable for pet care which can hold a long leash reaching the entirety of the yard.
About: I love dogs and have cared for them since childhood. I have adopted rescues and taken in puppies, both large breeds and small. Our family loves dogs of all sizes. I am at home full time for summer. I am free to take your pup on walks or to play fetch in our fenced yard! I have a fenced yard and one dog to keep your fur baby company - and dogs are allowed on our couches. We have two cats that keep to themselves and can be quartined in a seperate area if necessary. We are a smoke free home. I love animals and would enjoy having your pup in my home!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chelmsford
I highly recommend Dan and Véronique as dog sitters. We were able to have a meet and greet which greatly helped with our anxiety of leaving our pup with strangers. Dan and Véronique sent pictures and keep us apprised of how she was making out. They always responded promptly to our questions. We have no reservations on leaving her with them the next time we need a dog sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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 pet, 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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
