“I’m a travel nurse so I work really long hours. Katie came and sat with my girl a little bit each day I was at work and went above and beyond to take care of my girl!! If I’m ever in her area again I will so be using her again to take care of Willow. She truly loved my dog and my dog loved her. At one point I flew home and my sitter called was I landed and unable to care for Willow. Katie stepped up and made a very stressful situation bearable!! She is amazing and I 10/10 recommend her to anyone!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has become both a personal passion and a professional calling. I’ve had the privilege of working with animals in many different environments—from family pets and animal shelters to farms, wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, and professional research settings. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, pigs, goats, sheep, and other farm animals, including my work with Heifer Project International. I’ve also worked with dogs in animal shelters and have shared my life with dogs as pets for most of my life. My work as a wildlife animal rescue and rehabilitation worker gave me the opportunity to care for animals that were often injured, frightened, stressed, or otherwise vulnerable. I learned how important it is to approach each animal with patience, compassion, and respect while paying close attention to their behavior and individual needs. One of the most rewarding experiences of my career was working with the New England Aquarium’s Rescue and Rehabilitation Department, where I helped care for several species of sea turtles. Providing rehabilitative care and administering medications taught me how important consistency, careful observation, and attention to detail are when an animal is recovering or has special needs. My professional animal-care background also includes working as an animal care technician and research technician, where I cared for dogs, pigs, rats, and mice. These positions required me to follow detailed protocols, maintain accurate records, administer treatments, monitor animals closely, and recognize subtle changes in behavior or condition. I’m very comfortable following specific instructions and established routines, including detailed feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, behavioral considerations, and other individualized care plans. At the same time, I believe great pet care is about much more than simply following a checklist. Every animal has their own personality, comfort level, routines, and way of communicating. I take the time to get to know each pet and treat them with the patience, kindness, and respect they deserve. My experience working with children and elderly individuals in care settings has also strengthened my ability to be patient, attentive, dependable, and compassionate—qualities that I bring to every animal in my care. Whether your pet is outgoing and adventurous, shy and nervous, elderly and needing extra patience, or simply happiest sticking to their familiar routine, I’m comfortable adapting my care to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. When you leave your pet with me, my goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they are in capable, caring hands. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I’ll take that responsibility seriously, follow your instructions carefully, communicate with you about how your pet is doing, and give them the same patience and compassion I would want for my own animals. My work schedule makes pet care a natural fit for my daily routine. I work full-time during the week close to home, which gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with your pet before work, during my lunch break, and throughout the evening. After work, I’m happy to provide as many walks, play sessions, or potty breaks as your pet needs. I genuinely enjoy being outdoors—whether I’m walking, hiking, or running—so if your four-legged friend enjoys an active lifestyle, they’ll have a great companion for plenty of exercise and outdoor adventure. And if they’re more of a leisurely stroll and cuddle kind of pet, I’m just as happy to accommodate that! On weekends, I’m home and available for around-the-clock care, giving your pet plenty of companionship, attention, walks, playtime, and relaxation. My goal is to make your pet’s care fit seamlessly into my routine while making sure they get the attention, exercise, companionship, and consistency they need to be happy and comfortable. -A Safe, Comfortable, and Personalized Stay- I’ve set aside a dedicated space in my home specifically for our four-legged visitors. It includes a room with an attached office area, comfortable bedding, and plenty of space to accommodate several dogs. The setup can also be adapted to separate dogs when needed, whether for feeding, rest, individual care, or simply giving everyone their own space. When appropriate, dogs will also have access to much of my downstairs living area, including the kitchen and living room, so they can feel like they're part of the household rather than simply being boarded. I have a private, unfenced yard as well, providing another convenient option for outdoor time and bathroom breaks. I like to start the day early. A typical morning begins around 5:00 AM with a quick walk and bathroom break, followed by breakfast. About 20–30 minutes after eating, we'll head out for a longer 15–30 minute walk, giving everyone some time to stretch their legs and get their day started. While I'm at work during the weekdays, pets will have their own comfortable, dedicated spaces where they can relax safely. The rooms will be furnished with comfortable bedding and gentle background radio noise to create a calm, familiar environment. Because I work close to home, I’m also able to come home during my lunch break for additional attention, bathroom breaks, and walks. Once I'm home for the day, the focus shifts back to exercise, enrichment, companionship, and plenty of attention. Depending on the dog's personality and energy level, that could mean another walk, some playtime, exploring outdoors, or simply relaxing together. Most importantly, I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. I’ll learn your pet's routine and follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (oral/injection), exercise requirements, behavioral considerations, and any other special needs. My professional experience caring for animals in shelters, wildlife rehabilitation, research, and veterinary-related environments has taught me to pay close attention to behavior and recognize when something isn't quite right. My goal is for your pet to have a stay that feels safe, comfortable, structured, and enjoyable—and for you to have confidence knowing they are being cared for by someone who takes their well-being seriously.

“I highly recommend Kayla G. My dogs are very spoiled and do not really like people who do not live in our house, but they love her. I have asked Kayla back a few times so I could go away on vacation and she was very communicative and took great care of them.”

“Chelsea was communicative, sweet, and playful with my 1yo mini dachshund Peanut! She came for the rescue on a last minute drop-in visit which was such a relief. We’re so grateful!”

About: Hi! I am a dog mom of two dogs and have loved and cared for many dogs over the years. I am Pet First Aid and CPR Certified and have a clean driving record. I have a background check through the state of MA as I work for MassDEP, and a background check here on Rover. On occasion, I also volunteer at a cat and dog shelter in Sudbury, MA. I am experienced and comfortable with dogs that are new to me, or who might be more timid or shy. Available for dog walking currently! I work from home most days a week so I am very flexible to come by and take care of your pup(s) since I am local to Clinton, MA. I walk my own dogs 1-2 times a day but I would ensure your dog(s) are walked separately, and well taken care of! Because of my background, I have plenty of experience walking dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I am familiar with the Clinton area so I am happy to take your dog to a park nearby, a walk around your neighborhood, or let them out in your home to play in the yard. Your dogs safety is always my priority and I will ensure that you have nothing to worry about! I do carry cintronella spray with me in the event an unpredictable / aggressive dog or animal is encountered on our walk. Photos of your pet(s) can be sent over to you during our walk too!

“Very good experience with Rover. Leah was a wonderful cat visitor. She provided detailed summaries of each visit along with lots of photos. I highly recommend this service!”

About: I find so much joy in caring for animals. I had a beloved dog for 10 years. For fifteen years I have been walking dogs in my neighborhood as well as providing overnight care in the pet’s home! I am comfortable walking dogs up to 70 pounds. I am comfortable with harnesses, regular collars and pinch collars. I love to bring dogs on long walks, but I think playing is potentially even more beneficial than walks as it challenges their brains! I have taken an obedience course. I would love to be a part of your dog’s care while you’re away and help make their day more fun and comfortable. I currently work full- time but work remotely. I have a lot of flexibility because of this setup and can manage around most hours needed. I’m an attentive person and follow care instructions well. I would be certain to be respectful and careful and considerate. I will always treat your home like I’m a guest.

“Xiaoxue is always wonderful with the cats! Her pictures are the best and she spends a lot of quality time with them. They even shoveled the porch when it snowed while we were away. Thank you so much!”

Nicole G.

“Louca was excellent with Duke and took great care of him! Duke looked so happy in all the photos provided. I will definitely reach out to Louca again in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 13 years, starting at a young age with my own family pets and continuing through friends, neighbors, and relatives who trusted me with their animals. I have experience with cats, rabbits, puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, including feeding routines, daily walks, bathing, administering basic medications, and providing calm companionship. I’m patient, observant, and very attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, emotional well-being, and routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays while ensuring pets are never rushed or left alone for long periods. I enjoy building my day around an animal’s needs rather than fitting them into a rigid routine. I prioritize a calm, safe, and structured environment at all times. I carefully follow any instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and house rules. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of leash safety, and mindful of each pet’s comfort and boundaries. In a client’s home, I keep the space clean, secure, and peaceful, and I always aim to maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. Trust, communication, and gentle care are at the heart of how I look after every animal.

“Emma was amazing taking care of our golden retriever, Miles! We booked her for walks and drop ins over a 3 week period. She was so reliable and communicative. Miles had so much fun with her. Emma even found out Miles likes car rides and would bring him on rides around the neighborhood! Would highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for someone to help take care of their pet!”
