“This was my first experience using rover and having someone watch my pup for a sleepover. It was a great experience, I know Véronique from work and it was easy to trust her and Dan to look after my baby. They responded quickly and communication with them was effortless, I never had to wonder about my pup as updates were provided regularly and pictures sent before I could even ask! My dog was well looked after and as a bonus got to socialize with others. I look forward to the opportunity to do this again!”
“I knew when I met Marilyn and her partner, that they were kind and trustworthy people. They took excellent care of Charlie. She sent updates with photos and was highly responsive. I highly recommend Marilyn!”
“I immediately knew my dog Copper was in good hands with Jamie! It was our first time leaving our dog with a stranger, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Copper is a relatively anxious and somewhat reactive dog, and Jamie was able to handle her with no issues at all. Copper also needs a daily medication which wasn’t an issue, and I loved getting the regular updates. We will absolutely be using Jamie again!”
“Amber and Laura are wonderful with my girls! They have watched my girls twice now and each time, they come home happy and relaxed. My shepherd-mix is on the needier side with her anxiety and hot spots, and Amber/Laura were great about keeping her off of it and clean during her visits to help it heal! Both very loving and caring people who took my pets in as if they were their own while I was away. As someone who is reluctant/skeptical about leaving my fur babies in the care of others in general, they sent me videos and photos to update me on how my dogs are doing during their stay. I will for sure be using their services again in the future!”
“This is the second time Melina and her family have watched Scout, they have kept me updated on scout daily with messages and photos. Scout has enjoyed his time when he goes there and feels like part of the family. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“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.”
“Dorothy and her family took excellent care of Zuri. Their dog Tanner is a sweetheart and got along well with Zuri. Dorothy was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates and photos of her adventures with Zuri during her stay. It's so nice to go on a vacation and not have any worries about our dog. We will definitely have Dorothy care for Zuri again. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet.”
“Cassandra took excellent care of my 2 year old labradoodle, Remi. She sent me photos to let me know what my puppy was up to. Remi enjoyed the backyard and new friends. Would definitely book again.”
“My Millie dog had a great stay with Rachel. Rachel provided a safe, clean, and caring environment, and kept us updated with photos, videos, and messages. Millie looked relaxed and seemed comfortable in her home. It was so nice to see that. We appreciated the updates, and it was nice knowing our dog was well cared for while we were away. Will definitely book with Rachel again.”
About: I’ve taken care of big dogs and little dogs for friends and family for many years. I have made sure their pets are walked, fed, bathed and have had tons of love while in my care. I work from home so am able to make sure the dogs in my care get lots of attention through the day and are walked daily as well We have a large unfenced yard perfect for play and also go on long walks daily. My dogs are crated at night so would prefer dogs who are crate trained. We have a loving home with lots of attention and play
“I was nervous leaving Meesha for the first time but felt better once I met Gloria. She replied right away when I asked how she was doing and sent a picture. Gloria and the kids tired Meesha right out during the weekend as she slept for several hours when she got home. I would definitely bring Meesha at Gloria’s again!”
“So glad we found Meghan. It was last minute notice and she was so accommodating. She was great with the dogs kept us updated all weekend. She went above and beyond and we will definitely use her again in the future.”
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.
“We left our husky/lab with Briana for a few days without having met her, due to last minute commitments and she eased my worries immediately. She was very welcoming and kept us up to date with pictures. We would definitely use her again!”
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!
About: I have grown up with cats and Golden Retrievers all my life. Most recently I had a Labradoodle Bruce. I did loose him to my EX but loved him dearly! I now have Mocha who is a 2 year old Simease. She is an absolute Doll! I have my kids who are both Teens around every second week and they will help with walks. Dogs wont be left alone for more then 4 hours at a time. I have a large home with a fenced deck. My yard is large and I am looking to fence in a section. I have alot of great greenspace out my door.

Highly recommended and will definitely be rebooking!! if you’re not using her you’re missing out and your fur babies will thank you!!”
About: Located just 8 minutes north of Chelmsford; I have a lifetime of experience starting as a child on our farm with a variety of our four-legged friends including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs/hamsters (and some 2 legged friends - ducks & geese!) There has rarely been a time that we did not have animals in our home. I have and have had personal experience with 5 of our own canine seniors spanning over 35 yrs developing patience and empathy and adjusting to their stages of life throughout their lives. I am experienced with administration of medication, blindness, mobility restrictions and post-surgery care. In addition, I have Pet First Aid through Cdn Red Cross. In prior years, I have completed varying levels of obedience classes with all of our dogs as well as reactive training through the Sudbury Kennel Club with my GSD in his younger years. I carry those learnings and teachings in our daily interactions with all our pets to provide structure and a socially well behaved pet. Through the week, I work from home and at times in the community, but my flexibility can allow me to meet the scheduling needs of a pet parent when planned in advance. I don't mind last minute scheduling, since as we know life happens, if I am able to accommodate. Most importantly, I can be present and attentive to provide positive interaction, care and playtime for your fur baby. I am situated in a rural setting on several acres with a large amount of groomed yard and acreage away from the road. The main floor of my home is open for free roam. I offer a soft crate that remains open, to provide comfort and security if your pet has anxiety about being somewhere other than home and if you would like to make it available to your baby. My home is quiet and calm where they will have a great place to relax and carry on at their own pace.
“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.”

About: I have had the pleasure of living with two 50 pound Viszlas for the past ~10 years with my parents.

I'm currently a stay at home mom with a lot of availability, day and night. Starting with week days, but may be available for weekends in the future. As a previous pet owner, I understand that being trustworthy is just as important as being caring. I too was careful with who I entrusted the care of my pups to.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. Although I don’t have my own pet I have a lot of experience with those around me. My intention is to give them whatever they need and love them while their owner is away. My schedule is flexible and changes week to week but I am available during the day, evenings and weekends. Overnights are preferably done at your place currently however I am open depending on the situation. When dog sitting in a clients home, I like to keep their schedule as familiar as possible.

Personally, I like to take the pets I’m sitting for a lot of walks and make sure they get a lot of love and attention. I understand how precious pets are to their owners and they deserve the best of care.

“Mickey came home exhausted from a great day at doggy day care, his 1st time at a new place without my presence; the goal is to help him through separation anxiety, what a great home, what a great experience and I plan on being a repeat customer, highly recommend”
“Cass was lovely! Stegs, our very active 5 month old German Shepard Huskie mix, had daily adventure hikes which he completely loved and was always very content, cuddly and sleepy when he came home. She sent photos and kept me updated through the day. We would recommend Cass to you for your puppy sitter needs.”

“We were very happy with Rachel's care for our Millie dog. Rachel was very attentive to Millie, she took photos and let me know how Millie was doing, seeing it was her first visit with Rachel at her home. Rachel was so welcoming, friendly and she had a nice little area set up for Millie. I really appreciated that, as Millie is shy at first, needs time to get used to her surroundings. When I picked Millie up, she looked at ease which tells me she had a good time. I look forward to next time Millie gets to visit with Rachel and her two little Chihuahuas.”

We would recommend Shelby :)”

“Dan is absolutely amazing. I was a little unsure of the process and worried about trusting someone in my home and with my pup. Dan did a meet and greet with me and my puppy. He was very respectful and treated my pup like family. I got updated when they started/ended a walk he even played inside my house with my puppy for a bit and sent me so many pictures! I will definitely be a returning customer!! thank you!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life, beginning from my high school days. I had dog-sat for neighbors and friends of mine many times as well, dogs of all sizes and ages. I have experience with senior dogs as my sister and I have a 15 year old dog, as well as experience with reactive pets as our second dog is a rescue from Mexico whom we got through Petsave! I have some experience in training puppies as well, including house training and leash training. I work full time currently, however my shifts vary from 8 to 12hrs depending on the week, and can be anywhere from an early morning to a late evening shift. Considering this, I can be available at different times throughout the day and am willing to work around your schedule to meet you and your pets needs! Whether that be dog walking, drop in visits, or overnight stays. In my home I currently have two cats, however I am unable to offer boarding services at this time. My services include dog walking, drop in visits or dogs or cats, and house-sitting at the clients residence.
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. I've also walked and done pet sitting for friends and family since I was a kid. I still do. I love animals and the more I get to see, the better! I am gentle and kind with pets. I handle stress well, and can handle high stress situations well I am available to watch, feed, walk, play with pets all the time, as I am working a job that lets me pick my own hours. I will probably ask a bunch of questions as I like to be extra sure that I am doing things the way that you want. If they have certain schedules, feeding practices, routines, specific treats at specific times. Everything I need to know. I am calm, gentle, and patient.
About: I’ve grown up with and around dogs and always loved being around and taking care of them. Since 2024 I spent lots of time worthing with dogs of all ages and (mostly mixed) breeds at Petsave in lively. I found my joy in fostering and walking dogs of various sizes and temperaments. I’ll be able to help you no matter if your dogs needs a quick walk to relive themselves or even on longer walks up to 2 hours ( up to 8 km). I work early morning shifts and get home shortly after lunch, meaning I can take your pups out anywhere from 1:30-8 pm Monday to Saturday or anytime on Sunday (even when the weather is less than ideal) I have a fenced in yard with two friendly 70-80 llb mixed breed dogs. The fence is between 5-6 ft tall to ensure even escape artists stay contained and safe. With two of my own at home I have gathered plenty of supplies and techniques to safely secure and walk up to three dogs at once.
About: I’ve raised everything from large Labs and Dalmatians to my current friendly, vaccinated 2-year-old Chihuahua- Muffy. We live in a cozy, one-level home with a decent-sized backyard and a great park just steps away! Whether your pup needs big-dog exercise or small-dog snuggles, I treat every guest like family and strictly follow your routine to ensure they feel safe and right at home. I shih-tzu not, your dog will have a paws-itively great time! I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and am happy to support any training routines you have in place. Whether it’s reinforcing basic cues like 'sit' and 'stay' or working on leash manners during our park visits, I’ll ensure your pup stays consistent while you're away. Since I'm home all day, I can provide the frequent, short training sessions and immediate praise that help good habits stick. Whether your dog prefers their own crate for a peaceful night’s sleep or likes to snooze on a plush dog bed, I’m happy to follow whatever setup makes them feel most comfortable. Because my home is a one-level 'safe zone,' I can easily keep their favorite spot nearby so they always feel like part of the family. I provide a supervised environment where your pet is never left alone, ensuring they stay happy, relaxed, and secure throughout their stay.
About: (Please dont judge me by my stats - I'm new here :) I am a mature woman with a youthful spirit. Dogs and cats are like people to me. I have owned cats or dogs most of my life. As pet owners, we want someone to care for them as much as we do. I go above and beyond to give your animal the specialized care he or she needs and deserves. I look forward to meeting them and seeing them happy! 🐶 I just moved back to Sudbury and located in The Valley. My schedule is flexible at the moment as I am establishing myself. I can't wait to fill my schedule with critters! I own a small dog and may bring her along to socialize with your pet if that works for you. I am flexible and intuitive according to everyone's needs. If it's walking or sitting, I give lots of playtime and attention to your pet. It's not just about food, water and exercise.
About: As a dedicated dog sitter, what sets me apart is my comprehensive approach to pet care. Beyond providing the essentials like feeding and exercise, I bring a wealth of experience in dog training. With a background in positive reinforcement techniques, I focus on enhancing your dog's obedience and social skills during their stay. This includes commands like sit, stay, and leash manners. Additionally, my keen understanding of canine behavior allows me to tailor the environment to your dog's preferences, minimizing stress and promoting a comfortable stay. Your furry friend will not only receive excellent care but also benefit from a learning and growth experience that will positively impact their behavior and interactions. I am current studying so I have plenty of time apart from college hours. I am totally free on week ends so I can take care and play with them. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable environment with designated play and rest areas, following their routine closely. In clients' homes, I replicate routines while providing companionship and necessary tasks, ensuring pets are well-cared for and content.
“Amanda is fantastic! Takes awesome pics of our boys and gives them all the attention and love they deserve. They get so excited when she comes for their walks. They've caught on to the schedule and are now waiting at the door in the afternoons :) I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Claudia went above and beyond my expectations. My boy Otis is a very anxious dog and she made him feel comfortable while I was gone all day. She even made sure to give him a snuggle before leaving. I will definitely be using her for more visits whenever needed 😊”
“Erica was wonderful with my newly brought home 6 month old pup. She was super shy and Erica didn’t try to force her out of the crate and was amazing with sitting and trying to get to know the dog and not scare her. Would highly recommend to anyone especially people with young pups. Will definitely be booking again.”

Gloria and the kids tired Meesha right out during the weekend as she slept for several hours when she got home. I would definitely bring Meesha at Gloria’s again!”
“So glad we found Meghan. It was last minute notice and she was so accommodating. She was great with the dogs kept us updated all weekend. She went above and beyond and we will definitely use her again in the future.”
“We left our husky/lab with Briana for a few days without having met her, due to last minute commitments and she eased my worries immediately. She was very welcoming and kept us up to date with pictures. We would definitely use her again!”
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!
About: I have grown up with cats and Golden Retrievers all my life. Most recently I had a Labradoodle Bruce. I did loose him to my EX but loved him dearly! I now have Mocha who is a 2 year old Simease. She is an absolute Doll! I have my kids who are both Teens around every second week and they will help with walks. Dogs wont be left alone for more then 4 hours at a time. I have a large home with a fenced deck. My yard is large and I am looking to fence in a section. I have alot of great greenspace out my door.
“Very friendly, very accommodating, absolutely pleasurable to communicate with, had a very lovely home and was very amazing to our pets!! amazing care of them and kept us updated!! Highly recommended and will definitely be rebooking!! if you’re not using her you’re missing out and your fur babies will thank you!!”
“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.”
“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.
