“Go no further ! I’ve found THE caretaker for my Madeline. When Lucille got down on the floor to greet and introduce herself to Madeline, I knew she was the GOLD standard in “fur baby” caregiving. She went above and beyond the 3 page list of instructions I gave her. 🙄 I had complete confidence, trust and peace of mind knowing Madeline was about to be spoiled, she was included in her daily routines which included car rides and shopping all while observing for any stress. I actually will, without hesitation, be calling Lucille for future overnights. Her love of dogs is a true gift! GLK”

“Angelina went above and beyond every single day, sending me regular updates, photos, and little notes that made me smile and reassured us that everything was going smoothly. Coming home, I could tell my dog had been not only well taken care of but genuinely loved. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust. Thank you, Angelina!”

“Jane was great. She was easy to work with and arranged a convenient time to meet my dog (and me). She asked a lot of great questions about Georgie, her habits, her likes, etc. She made me feel confident that my dog was in great hands.”

“Liz and her family took excellent care of our puppy. She really made him feel like part of the pack with their other dog. They took him to the park multiple times and always kept in close communication. Definitely recommend!!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was a child—I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other pets, and I truly see them as family. I have two cats, Bleu and Theodore who are my absolute world, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention as I give my own. What sets me apart from other sitters is my natural connection with animals and my commitment to creating a safe, calm, and happy environment tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience with a wide range of animals, including high-energy puppies, shy or anxious pets, and senior dogs and cats who need extra TLC. I’m reliable, intuitive, and attentive to small details—whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, recognizing signs of stress, or making sure your pet gets their favorite toy before bedtime. I go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make your pet feel at home even when they’re not! Right now, pet care is my top priority—I’m not working another job, so I have full availability to dedicate to your pets. This means I’m flexible with scheduling, whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings. Because I’m not juggling other commitments, I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I’m here to make your life easier and your pet’s day happier—every single time! When caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to your routines to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just like you’re there. I keep things tidy, follow any feeding or medication schedules, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and love. If your pet is staying at my home, I ask that you bring their crate, leash, food, and anything else that helps them feel secure and settled (like their favorite toy or blanket). I’ll make sure they have a cozy, clean space, regular walks, and lots of affection throughout their stay. Whether we’re out for a walk or having a quiet day inside, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and care tailored to their personality and needs.

“Peter and his family are the sweetest and have taken awesome care of our Waffles more than once! We def hope to use again in the future!! He is our first choice.”

“Joyce took care of Sofie, our Havanese, during the first week of August. To say she did a great job with Sofie is an understatement. She was truly amazing. Joyce cared for Sofie like she was her own. Sofie loved staying with her, and I will definitely be asking Joyce to care for her the next we need a sitter. Thank you, Joyce, for taking such great care of Princess Sofie!”

About: I am my friends go-to doggy caretaker when they’re away. i had my own dog until a couple years ago when he sadly passed due to old age. Our house misses a dog in it! Your pet will be loved like one of ours while you’re away!!! Expect doggy photoshoots on the regular. I work as a school counselor so I am out of the house from 7 am to 3 pm. Doggy will be taken out in the backyard in the morning and on a walk around the neighborhood or to the park down the street in the afternoon when I get home. I have a fenced in yard and two toddlers (almost 2 and almost 3) who love dogs and are have been taught to be respectful of pets since they were teenie! Only dogs that are good with kids, but they will never be left together unattended. Because I have my two kids, we will need to watch your dog in my home. We have a cat who spends most of his time under the bed - he lived with our dog for the majority of his life though so is used to dogs. I also have cameras in the living room and kitchen so i’ll be able to check on your pup throughout the day while i’m at work!

“Leanne did a fantastic job taking care of my shy and nervous little dog Chanel. Chanel adjusted very quickly to her new surroundings and appeared calm and happy during her stay. I would definitely have Leanne take care of Chanel again.”

“I realized 2 days before a trip that we didn't find somewhere for our dog to go. Ami was very responsive and easy to talk to about booking with her. She made me feel very comfortable to send my dog Tella to her house. It was very evident how much Ami loves dogs right when I met her. Her house is also adorable, spacious and beautifully located on a pond. We had an issue with timing for pick up so I asked if she'd be willing to drop Tella off at our house on the day we were getting home and she had no problem with that. Ami sent a message and photo daily about how Tella was doing which we all loved. When Ami dropped Tella off she even brought in our Amazon packages. I am very happy with how things went and would totally use Ami again if she'd take Tella!”

About: As a lifetime dog lover and owner, your dog will be in good hands here. I have fostered and provided basic training to over 14 puppies in the past year and I remain close with almost all of the adopters. I have two hound/ lab mix rescues - Spencer is 8 YO and Peaches is 7 MO. Both were rescued at almost 4 months old and both are neutered and spayed. Our household (me, my husband, our HS Senior, and our pups) loves dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperments. We (our dogs included) understand how to read cues and body language and respond appropriately. My promise to you and your fur babies are that they will have plenty of walks, indoor/ outdoor playtime, potty breaks as needed and as frequently as every 30 min, training and mental stimulation games, water, a comfortable space to rest, and as their health and well being are my top priority, they will have adult supervision at all times. I will only board dogs of the same household in my home at one time. The exception to this is if they are already known friends. Communication is important - tell me their likes, dislikes, known commands, feeding schedules, dietary/ physical restrictions, medication needs, etc. and I will ensure to follow the rules and schedules of your home. I will send plenty of updates and pics and if needed I am happy to give baths and nail trims — if they don't mind them. I guarantee your dogs will return home happy. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Training commands I practice regularly are sit, lay down, paw, wait, come, short leash training, and potty training. Spencer and Peaches have proven to be great trainers as well! During meet and greets or via messages I can share what I have for toys, treats, bath time shampoo, pet conditioner, nail trims, etc. I'm happy to use what you provide as well. My schedule is currently very flexible. The majority of my work is remote. As I work towards my next business venture, I would like to continue my passion of working with dogs using positive reinforcement. I have a large yard surrounded by woods in a quiet community. When dogs are in the yard they have leashes on them unless they have good recall as the yard is not fenced. I will always be outside with them with a pouch full of treats. I also have a gated porch to ensure dogs can enjoy time sitting on the porch and will not escape into the yard when we open the slider. Walks in the neighborhood and on trails are always on leash. If your dog is accustomed to the Chelmsford dog park, I would be happy to bring them there as well once I get to know them. I use adjustable doggy seatbelts while driving. I will only bring two dogs max. Feeding schedule is two or three times per day depending on each dogs schedule. They will eat alongside of my dogs or they can have their own space to eat without distractions. I have two large crates with a divider to create a smaller space if needed. Most dogs have full access to the main first floor. The upstairs is available to fully trained dogs after getting to know them better. I have multiple gates to block access to rooms when needed. I get to know all dogs I board by communicating with their owners and with close frequent observation. I ere on the side of caution, test in small increments in safe quiet settings, building trust and increasing freedom accordingly with the best intentions to ensure their safety and security. New high value dog bones are prohibited while boarding. I have plenty of safe, dog friendly bones and toys here that I'm sure will keep your pup(s) happy.

“Carmen was an excellent caregiver while I was gone for a business trip. She sent me pictures of how she was doing everyday and provided an excellent care.”

“For our first experience with Rover, would couldn’t have asked for a better experience than we had with Parker. Our 7-month old pup, Ash, is high energy and we were worried he would be a trouble. No concerns from Parker with his behavior, and Ash came home in perfect spirits to very thankful parents! Looking forward to working with Parker again in the future.”

“We're hapoy to share that Dexter had an amazing 4-night stay with Kavita! She went above and beyond, keeping us updated regularly. What truly impressed us was her attentiveness to Dexter's specific needs - she quickly picked up on his resource guarding issue and handled it with care. Unlike other sitters, Kavita's insight and expertise made all the difference. After 5 years of using various pet care services, we can confidently say this experience was one of the best. We highly recommend Kavita's home as a warm and welcoming haven for your furry friend - it's truly a home away from home!”

“Emily was so caring, thoughtful, and attentive to our puppy’s needs! She regularly updated us, sent photos and videos, and made his stay better than we could have imagined. Her dog was so sweet to ours, as this was his first time being with another dog for an extended period of time. I would HIGHLY recommend Emily to watch your pets! She is experienced, comprehensive, and so so caring!”
