She loved running around the fully fenced yard with Charlie, and Liz was wonderfully communicative so my husband and I knew what Brenna was up to while we were out of town.

About: I am a dog lover who has dogs my whole adult life. I have many friends and neighbors with dogs of all sizes that I have spent time with and babysat as needed! I am an elementary teacher with availability on weekends and during the summer I have much greater daily availability. I have a 5 year old friendly and submissive lab mix. My dog likes to play at times, but at other times wants to have her space. Our house is like a home away from home for visiting pets!! I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly 5 year old lab mix who is always looking to meet and welcome new friends. I am an avid walker and used to walking 2 dogs at time.
“We are so grateful to have found Jessica and Breyin! Our cat requires medication and has 3 legs. She was loved and had the best care staying with Jessica and Breyin. We got pictures and updates throughout vacation which makes any pet mama’s heart full! Thank you Jessica and Breyin!”
“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!”
“Highly recommend Gregg for all your pet needs. He’s reliable, punctual and genuinely cared for my dog Coty. Gregg was understanding while my dog adjusted to his new surroundings and sent daily video updates. I would definitely board Coty with Gregg again!”
“Hana has never stayed with anyone outside the family so I was anxious to leave her for a week. I had total trust and confidence in Oana and Oliver’s care. Hana is a nervous little one, but warmed up to them after a few days. Communication is always great and the photo updates gave me peace of mind. Thank you so much!!”

Chelmsford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our family loved Ami, especially Milli! She was so kind and caring with our strong and spirited girl! I was uneasy leaving her for the first time but we felt so comfortable with Ami. She gave her the exercise and stimulation she needed and treated her like her own!
Tyson had a wonderful time with tom and his family. He well well cared for and well loved. We were happy they had a fenced in yard for him to run around. Tyson is high energy, but just as cuddly at the end of the day. We had never left him with a sitter before. He was a rescue and we were nervous about how he would do. Tom Is definitely a dog lover and truly took great care. he sent us pictures and videos to keep us informed. We will definitely use Tom again.
Molly is not only a delightful person but extremely contientious, warm and kind. She made sure Lucy had a great stay at her house. I have 100% confidence in Molly and was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Lucy was in capable hands. I recommend Molly without reservation!
Lisa was amazing with our dog, Kora! She went above and beyond, gave us regular updates, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We could tell Kora was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!
