“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”

About: I have had dogs for 20 years and will treat your dogs like my own. Will accommodate requests as much as possible for your family. I am available for drop in visits for walks, can fix any special food if needed and give oral medication. Every visit will include time to sit and visit. I will always walk dogs on leash and take extra time to care for your dog like my own. I can crate if needed for your dog.

“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.

“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy I booked with Joyce. My dog had a great night, and she even sent me pictures. Joyce was very sweet and was life saver as I booked his stay short notice. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again ! Thanks again for loving my pup and making him feel at home. :)”

“Monica took very well care of our dog and updated us with pictures and videos! She is reliable and quick. Would definitely rebook with her again!”

Julie L.

“Leanne took such great care of our dog during his week-long stay! He was so happy and well looked after, and when we came to pick him up, he even kissed her goodbye, which says a lot about how comfortable and loved he felt. We highly recommend Leanne and will definitely book with her again!”

“This was our first experience with Rover, and it definitely won’t be our last thanks to Peter, Michele and their family! I received daily updates and pictures, which was very reassuring since this was my first time boarding Stella. I don’t think she wanted to leave! I will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future.”

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.

“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!”

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!

“Emily is very kind and friendly, and she took wonderful care of our dog Belle! Emily was great with communicating and updating us on Belle’s stay, including sending lots of photos, which we loved!”

“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.”

Bob J.

“So thankful for Alyssa! I was super nervous to leave my new pup with anyone, but decided to trust Alyssa since she has such extensive training experience. And I’m so glad I did! I got my dogs back happy and tired. Will definitely be rebooking.”

Maggie B.

“Jane was an incredible sitter! She kept our 3 year old poodle happy and entertained the entire visit. We received regular photo updates and she was flexible/communicative throughout the whole process. We would absolutely have her watch Maggie again!”

Meg R.

“Parker was a fantastic sitter. I felt so comfortable leaving my puppy with him and was confident Parker would keep Huck safe, engaged, and exercised. When I picked him up, it was clear Huck had a fantastic time and was well-taken care of. I'll definitely be rebooking in the future!”
