“Bojack loved staying with Kourtney! He is a fourteen years old. I like that Kourtney has a background in veterinary medicine. Not only did that make me trust her with his daily meds, it was nice knowing that there was a trained eye on him. Bojack is overly bonded to me to the point that he often sits by the window waiting for me to return when I go out. The biggest compliment to Kourtney's care is that when we picked him up, he greeted me with enthusiasm but not anywhere near the crazy welcome I usually get, AND he kept looking back at Kourtney as if he was unsure whether he wanted to leave! We will definitely have her watch him again.”

“Our dog Sara had an absolutely fabulous time at Judy's home. Judy is so friendly, and her dog Rosie became our dog's best friend instantly! There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor space for dogs to roam around, and lots of toys. We're so thankful for Judy and her wonderful doggie care!”

“Phil was great! Boggs looked so happy there all week and it was hard to get him to leave because he just wanted to hang out longer. Getting pictures regularly helped us enjoy our time away. We look forward to Boggs going back in a few months!”


“Tracy was amazing with our cat Pretty Girl! We were nervous as this was our first time boarding her but Tracy was very kind and helpful. She was in good hands for sure! We got updates throughout the stay and lots of pictures as well!! When we picked Pretty Girl up she was happy and healthy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with Tracy again!”

“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”

“Thank you Emily for making Sherlock feel at home!!! Sherlock was welcomed as part of their own family. Emily and all her family members made it very easy for him! He had a very comfortable stay! ❤️”

“Thank you Riven for taking in Remi on such short notice. I appreciate the help so much!! Remi liked being there so definitely would like to have you sit for her again.”
“Emerald was amazing. My Sawyer loved being there, which made me feel so much better knowing that someone will give him a one on one attention, even though she has her own dog. She also made me feel like Sawyer was her own and did everything with Sawyer that her dog does. I would absolutely go back again as long as she would have Sawyer back.”

“Bradleigh was absolutely great!! I brought my dog Joey to stay with her and her family for the weekend. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and she made it possible for me!! Ive had Rover with other people before but Bradleigh is the best! I would recommend her to any pet owner who’s looking for dog walks, boarding, and more. I am absolutely thankful to her and her family for taking care of my baby like it was theirs. He came home super happy! I will definitely bring Joey back with her and her family.”

“We had an awesome experience with Shankar. He and his family took great care of Bruce. He shared pictures through the stay which put our minds at ease. Bruce had a great time there with Piku his dog. He came back home very happy and had a great time with them. We would certainly board Bruce with him again. Thank you.”

About: I've had numerous variety of pets my whole life, Worked in pet retail for a time, and genuinely feel I understand animals more than people sometimes. Currently I'm between more traditional 9-5 employment, so I have the time and space to give the care needed for the little (or big) ones. I am open to discussing the individual needs of every client, but the basics of walking, feeding, just plain old attention are well within my capacity. Happy to help facilitate any training that is being done as well.
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.

“We were super comfortable leaving our dog at Luiz’s house for the week while we went on vacation! They send lots of pictures and take great care of the dogs in their care.”

“Excellent experience. Sara seemed professional, friendly, and very on top of things. She stayed in close touch about our little guy, and Kiwi seemed in good spirits both during his visit and after. I'd also specifically flag her location as a bonus—the house has a good yard and it's on a small, low-traffic side street, which always makes me feel better.”


“Dee was great with our dog, Shiloh, while we were across the country for over a week. We received pictures showing her with all of her happiest body language and were told that Shiloh and Dee's dog got along like best friends. We will definitely ask Dee to watch Shiloh again.”

“We have utilized Michael’s services a number of times now. He does a great job! Our pups always come home happy and in good health. Michael is our go to man when we need a pet sitter. It is comforting to know they are in a home setting. Thanks, Michael!”

Fitchburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our dog had a wonderful stay! Phillip and his wife were communicative, caring, and clearly loves animals. One of the highlights was the large backyard, which provided plenty of safe space for the dogs to run, play, and burn off energy. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog had so much room to enjoy themselves while being well cared for. We couldn't be happier with the experience and will definitely be using this service again. Highly recommended!
