“Again my girls (two labs 16&17 months old) had a wonderful time at Alyssa’s house! They make friends every time and come home after my weekend away happy and exhausted 😊”

“Frankie and Alice had a great time with Ralph, great walks and lots of cuddling for Alice. Frankie needs regular pills to stay healthy and he came back in better shape than when I dropped him off. Definitely will be a repeat customer!”

“My labradoodle Oliver has been going to Oana & Oliver for years. He is always very excited to arrive and comes back home mentally healthy. He loves playing with the dogs at their house.”

“Williana was amazing at watching our two dogs over the weekend! She is a very thoughtful pet parent and asked me all the right questions on how to provide the best care for my pups. She was always in touch with updates through out the stay and made it very easy for us to be out of town knowing our dogs are in good hands. Highly recommend her, especially with a large fenced backyard is a dream for any dog! Will book again! Thank you!”


“Bonnie and Alex were amazing to work with and excited to have our 2 dogs for a long weekend. They have a big, fun yard and a sweet pup named Walter that I'm pretty sure our dog still misses today. Would love to have them watch our dogs again. Great communication and super flexible.”

“Jane was so great! We met up before the booking to ensure our pup would feel right at home. He got plenty of walks and play time! When I picked him up, I knew how happy he was. This is the first time he didn't try to bolt to the car to go home from an over night stay! Thank you, Jane!”

“We had a great experience with Krystal. Thank you so much for taking care of Cooper and for sending consistent updates and photos throughout the stay. Communication was excellent. It gave us total peace of mind.”

“I have never seen my dog so happy to not be with me! I'm trying to not take it personally and just be happy that we've found such wonderful care for our girl. I can't thank you enough.”

“This is my Kona’s first boarding. Adriana and her family took care of Kona very well. Kona looks happy every moment. Also I appreciate Adriana shared many photos and video during the stay. I could know how Kona was doing timely.”

“Deena was great with Tella, and really seemed to enjoy her! Tella was happy when I picked her up. Deena sent me a bunch of pictures and kept me updated. Would definitely use her again!”

“We boarded our dog and cat for a week. Likun is very experienced and attentive in taking care of both cats and dogs. We received daily updates and she also replied to our messages very promptly. Her Border Collie is so sweet and gentil. Our puppy was really happy she has a mature big sister and perfect playmate! The home is well equipped to take care of multiple pets and her backyard is perfect for dogs to play in.”

“Francois was extremely communicative and took great care of our pup while we were traveling. He made me feel confident that she was well cared for and loved while we were gone. She returned home happy and healthy.”

“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”

“Stormie had the best time at Linda’s. I could tell because of the many excellent pictures I received. The pictures showed that Stormie had plenty of outdoor time with her bud Mack and Linda even took Stormie for extra walks in the am. I couldn’t be more comfortable leaving Stormie with Linda .”

About: I've loved animals ever since I can remember. I grew up with dogs, and can't imagine life without them. Their gentle, innocent spirit, and their total trust in us is disarming. I absolutely love caring for dogs! I have a Havanese dog who just turned 2 and would love to be around other friends!! I have a pet friendly house hold and would love & care for your pet like our own kids. Your furry friends are allowed the run of the house, and are welcome on the furniture. They can sleep wherever they prefer, in their beds, on the furniture, or in their crate (per your request only). I follow your routine, so please let us know of any preferences or restrictions, both dietary and behavioral. I offer lots of treats, hugs and kisses! My big yard is fenced in, so your doggies are always safe. I stay with them in the yard, they are never left unattended. I work from home and have flexible schedule. I will take out the dog every 2-3 hours which includes walking around the neighborhood or dog park (if owner permits) or backyard playing. I have a nice big fenced in backyard where the dogs can play anytime of the day whether permits. For Boarding in My Home: - My preference is for small breeds under 20 lbs. · Rabies, DHPP/DHLPP and Bordetella vaccines are required. · Make yourself at home: Home is pet-safe and clutter free. Yes, pets are allowed on the furniture! · Crate options: I have a crate available if your dog is crate trained or needs one. Crates get cleaned after each visit. · Constant check-ins: I work from home full time, so I'm able to check on your dog throughout the day
About: I have had dogs since I was born. My current dog, Ollie, is 1 year old. One of my previous dogs, who has since passed, had diabetes and required insulin shots and went blind but I took care of her for years after her diagnosis before she passed from natural causes. I love dogs, they make the world a brighter place! I work 3 days a week (or nights) so I have four days off a week. It can change depending on my schedule or I can request certain days off to fit someone else’s schedule with enough notice. I live in a house with several parks in the immediate area to keep your dog occupied! I have a lot of patience when taking care of dogs/puppies.
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.
Chelmsford pet 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!
