About: Over the past 5 years fostering dogs through a local rescue, I’ve cared for pups of every personality—big and small, young and old, from playful goofballs to those with behavioral or medical challenges. My goal is to create lasting bonds with dogs and their families, offering compassionate, reliable care tailored to each unique dog. I work remotely from my home in Framingham MA & hence have fairly flexible availability to handle your dog. So I can adjust to your schedules & make it work. For me, fulfilling your dog's mental & physical needs are of utmost importance. I strongly believe in discipline and routine that gives a dog a defined structure to live & flourish. I also actively listen to what the pups' families convey and respect the routine that they provide and keep that up as much as possible.
About: I’ve grown up around pets and animals and am very comfortable with them. I raised a lab when I was a teenager and love cats too. Currently available any day and time. All weekdays are available and I’m usually free on the weekends. Happy to help take care of the pets I am very patient and like to play with the pets. I want to make sure they have enrichment and exercise time. I am great with cats and dogs
“Lauren was great while we were away! She stopped by twice/day to check on our kittens and feed them, clean the litter box, change the water etc for ten days while we were on vacation. She also was super helpful by checking the mail each day and bringing our trash and recycling to the street on pick up day. We also liked getting photos of our buddies while we were away.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life as long as I can remember — I grew up with a black Lab (12 great years), have had my own dog for almost 7, and regularly watch a close friend's dog when they travel. So I'm used to slipping into someone else's routine and earning a new dog's trust while making sure they are enjoying themselves. On walks I'm patient and attentive: no phone-scrolling, pace matched to your dog, and a photo update after every visit. Happy to do a meet-and-greet first if your dog is nervous, senior, or just particular. Message me anytime. I am a Marketing Consultant by trade so I typically have time during my days to come meet up with a dog who needs some care. That's why I started my Rover profile. I love dogs and have time for them! I have two young kids and a dog at home so I'm accustomed to taking direction. Happy to follow any directions you have to care for your dog - every dog has a 'thing' :) My main goal is to always make sure the dog gets the essentials - exercise, food, water - and from there it's about happiness. I'll play, give pets, take outside in the yard...whatever the dog needs!
“Phoebe watched our dog for the first time this past weekend. She managed to win her over pretty quickly. She did drop in visits. She was prompt and kept us informed the whole time. She used the Rover app to let us know when she came and how long she stayed, so no worry on our part. She also set lots of photos. We will definitely have her back!”
“Julia did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats. She was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure the cats (and our home!) were comfortable and clean. She took initiative to adjust the A/C and fans to keep the space comfortable, cleaned up not just the food dishes and litter boxes, but also a surprise hairball, and even swept the floor. Her updates were thorough and reassuring, with sweet touches like hiding toys and checking in on how much each cat ate—she clearly paid close attention to their individual personalities and needs. Julia was communicative, responsible, and kind—and her love for cats really shows. I'm so grateful this was our first experience with her and would absolutely recommend her to others!”
About: I've taken care of animals as long as I can remember. Whether it's a young, playful puppy or a sleepy senior dog, there's nothing I can't handle. Over the years I've owned three dogs, two cats, a hedgehog, a chinchilla, various reptiles, and more. You could say I'm animal obsessed. I will always give your critter the love and care it needs, so don't hesitate to reach out! I work partially from home, so I'm around to give your furry friend attention. I'm always looking for reasons to take a break outside, so walks will never be a problem! I live on the first floor of an apartment complex where we have a fenced in dog park and ample room for walks! I also enjoy staying at client’s homes, ensuring I keep everything clean, orderly, and safe for your pet.
About: I’ve always grew up around dogs, have always enjoyed talking care of them. Walks, playing, feeding etc. I definitely enjoy all that comes with this job I’m currently working at an elementary school & would love another job to have more productive days. I love dogs so this is the perfect job! Making sure my client is comfortable and never without. I have a dog that suffers from separation anxiety and making sure he knows I’m his safe space is very important.
“Gianna was super communicative and attentive, she did a great job taking care of our nervous puppy and making sure he had the best experience for his first Rover visit. She was also so thoughtful about small details, like cleaning his Kong toy and bringing in packages, which goes such a long way :) will book again!”
“It was comforting to me to have Jacquie take care of my cat Fiona while I was out of state and so far away. She did an excellent job of keeping me up to date with notes and pics and my cat just loved her. She wasn't shy to meet Jacquie and was very calm and relaxed when I got home. I am very pleased with my first experience with Jacquie and Rover.”
About: I grew up with a dog from the age 3-16! My best friend has a Boxer and I've been taking care and watching him frequently since he was a puppy! I also worked at an office where the owners had two dogs, a small chihuahua and a greater Swiss mountain dog. I took them out for frequent walks & fed them, as well as watched them when the owners weren't around. I'm currently a Stay-Home-Mother. My son is 3 years old, so the pet must be toddler friendly. I am home most weekdays. I can be busy on weekends, but if I have an early heads-up, I can accommodate. I am flexible during the week and have a car to drive to my client's houses! I am willing to stop by and feed, play and walk your pet.
“Needed someone to play ball with my dogs while I was out of town and my wife was home recovering from surgery. Peggy was accommodating and reliable. She helped tire out the pups so my wife could continue to heal. Would definitely use again!”
“Charlene was excellent - incredibly thorough with care, very knowledgeable, generous and warm with our cat. She was able to get our sometimes difficult/reclusive cat to warm up to her and successfully administered his medicine. Charlene sent us plenty of videos and text updates throughout the period we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Brianna was an awesome cat sitter! She sent photos and updates everyday. My cats love her. Even my very shy cat, who normally hides from everyone but me, came out to say hi to her!”
About: I have owned dogs entire life of various breeds and sizes. Currently, I have 2 dogs, a one-year-old pitbull/lab mix and a seven-year-old greyhound/whippet/lab mix! I love taking them on long walks and snuggling up on the couch with them afterward! And i would love to do the same with any other dog :) I have a flexible schedule and can do multiple walks per day if needed. Am willing to walk dogs as long or as short as they need and will cater to their individual needs. Can walk multiple dogs at once and have experience with both puppies, older dogs, and everything in between. If you don't like walking in the cold, are busy at work, are out and about during the day, I can help you out and walk your dogs! Pet care fits very flexibly into my current routine, as I am available throughout the day and week. I am able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks depending on client needs, including regular schedules or last-minute requests. Over the next few weeks, I have a very open schedule and can be highly responsive to bookings and messages. I prioritize being reliable and consistent with timing for each walk and maintaining clear communication with pet owners. I provide attentive, safety-focused care for every dog I walk. I prioritize secure leash handling at all times, remain alert to surroundings, and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am comfortable managing dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I adjust my pace and approach based on each dog’s needs. I ensure pets are never left unattended, avoid unsafe interactions with other animals, and maintain clear communication with owners during and after walks. My goal is to create a calm, controlled, and trustworthy experience that keeps each pet safe and comfortable.
About: Hello! I am 25 years old with a ton of animal experience. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, and for the most part have trained my families dogs. I went to High school at Norfolk Agricultural High School and was a Veterinary Major there. My High School gave me the opportunity to meet, handle, groom, and train dogs that were not my own. I was also in a 4H club at Natick Organic Farm in which I took care of the live stock that lived there. I have always been the go to dog sitter for my extended family. Due to this I also had to handle dogs of all different sizes and temperaments. I am currently working on becoming an Airline pilot so my days are very wide open and can be manipulated to better suit the care for your pets. I am familiar with most dog training tools. Depending on what is best for your dog I am comfortable using and have been trained to use. I also understand that every dog has different needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Framingham
After bringing home our 8 week old puppy, we found out we’d have to leave him home alone in the crate at 10 weeks old. We were so worried about this, but felt INSTANT relief once we met Lindsey. Lindsey went above and beyond every single day to take care of our Remy. And he loves her sooo much. She even stayed 30 minutes extra one day so that they could sit outside while our apartment building was testing the fire alarms. She genuinely cares about animals and will do the most for your pet! I’m a teacher so I’m on summer break now, but we will 1000% be having her back in the fall to walk Remy again. Please don’t hesitate to book with Lindsey… she’s the best!
We couldn't have asked for a better first experience as first time dog parents! Nikkita sent tons of adorable photos and kept us completely in the loop with updates on walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and snuggles. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands!
Gianna was super communicative and attentive, she did a great job taking care of our nervous puppy and making sure he had the best experience for his first Rover visit. She was also so thoughtful about small details, like cleaning his Kong toy and bringing in packages, which goes such a long way :) will book again!
Ana is the absolute best!! She is truly phenomenal with our high energy, large dog. She is extremely loving with our pup and she treats him like her own. She is also reliable, trustworthy, and punctual. It’s great to know that our dog is in such capable and loving hands while we are away! I cannot recommend Ana highly enough.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Framingham choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
