“Lupa had a great time with Jing and her family!! I received pictures of him and updates during his stay and I felt at ease knowing he is having a great time playing with his doggy friends and being taken great care of. I will definitely book again when I need a sitter for him!”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life so I’m used to being around them. I also have had one other dog before and now have a mini dachshund. I’m very comfortable with taking care of dogs and having them in my space. I work a full time job at home, but I’m in control of my own schedule and am very flexible. I’m also available weekends and in the summer, I’m even more flexible. I take my dog out 2-3x a day depending on weather. We go on walk across the street at the park for about 15-20 min and when we are back inside, he is allowed to roam freely. He eats 2x a day with snacks in between and he always has water out. I play with him as much as I can throughout the day to make sure he doesn’t get too bored with his day too! My apartment is always clean to ensure that my pup doesn’t get into anything he isn’t supposed to. Lastly, my apartment building is secure as you need a key fob or someone to buzz you in to enter the building.
About: I bring genuine care and patience to every dog I work with. I’ve personally cared for a Husky for the past 4 years, so I understand the importance of exercise, attention, consistency, and handling high-energy dogs with confidence. Huskies require a lot of patience and structure, which has helped me become very attentive to dogs’ needs and behaviors. I also have experience walking other dogs of different sizes and personalities, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s energy level and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just wants someone calm and comforting around, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I can help reinforce basic training, maintain routines, provide regular exercise, and make sure pets get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I’m especially good with energetic breeds, shy dogs that need patience, and dogs who thrive on companionship and consistency. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I make time each day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention so they feel safe and relaxed while in my care. I have a Fenced in yard, so sometimes I will let them run around the back yard, play fetch. And after a few minutes take them on a quick walk. I update Dog parents with Videos and photos so they get updates on there dogs well being and i will always ask for specific diets dogs may have so there routine doesn't change when they're in my care!
“Damaris was great with Pepper. This was Pepper's first dog sitting and she has a lot of separation anxiety. Damaris was very considerate of that fact and took great care of Pepper. I was able to drop her off at short notice. I'd definitely recommend her services!”
About: I work as the Daycare and Kennel Supervisor at a Pet Resort in NH. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and can take care of dogs with special needs including administering medications or even catheterization, if necessary. I am Canine CPR and First Aid Certified. I am also an NREMT certified EMT. I've had 4 dogs of my own at one time, and have both trained and groomed them since puppyhood! I currently work Monday through Wednesday, but am home all day Thursday through Sunday to care for your fur babies! With 2 dogs of my own, I make sure that I spend as much time at home with them as possible. I have a very large yard that is fenced in on 3 sides, with 100ft tethers to give them the freedom to run around and explore the whole property. I have 2 very playful pups that love having friends over! I can crate a dog, if needed, or have multiple raised beds and large dog pillows with blankets to keep everyone cozy. The pups' comfort, safety, and well-being always comes first!
“Literally soooo awesome!! Such a sweet, caring, and kind person!! She truly made me feel so happy leaving my pup with her because she was so communicative, sent pictures and videos, and assured me he was truly in good hands. She’s easily accessible and super responsive. I also appreciate how responsible and on time she was with the pick up and drop off for my dog’s daycare with her. I truly appreciate Katherine!!!”
“Donnie's expertise and love for dogs was clear on my first visit. My dog was sick and he helped me to narrow it down to an infection that I should visit the vet for, and continued to help care for him over the next few days. With a fenced in area, truck, and nearby forest he's well equipped to care for your pet.”
About: I’ve been consistently walking dogs and caring for pets for several years, with a perfect safety record and a passion for making every walk and visit a happy experience. Over 50 pet parents trust me to care for their furry family members thanks to my reliability, preparation, and genuine love for animals. I’m also fully insured, giving you extra peace of mind that your pet is in safe, professional hands. Whether it’s a stroll, a stay, or a playdate, I always come ready to make sure your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for! I provide pet care full time, which means I have a flexible schedule to fit your needs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week and on weekends. Whether you need a regular walking routine or last-minute help, I’m here to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve whenever you need it. For your pet’s safety, I stick closely to their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always secure doors, gates, and fences to prevent escapes and use properly fitted collars, harnesses, and leashes during walks. I supervise all outdoor time, monitor pets closely to avoid dangerous situations, and keep hazardous items like cleaning supplies or unsafe foods out of reach. I carefully follow any special instructions, including administering medications, and I stay alert for any signs of illness or stress. I’m also prepared for emergencies, with local vet information and emergency contacts on hand. Whether it’s adjusting walk times for extreme weather or sending regular updates to you, your pet’s safety is always my top priority.
“Vanessa was a wonderful sitter for our dog, Finn. My puppy had plenty of playtime and lots of exercise. We appreciated the frequent updates. It was clear that Finn was well taken care of!”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! Currently I have one small senior little dog in our home today. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around! I 100% work from home and have flexible schedules so that I can play/take your dog/s for a walk throughout the day based on their schedule. I am fully remote and have a flexible schedule. When the weather is nice I tend to work in our backyard so your pets can play outside all they want. Summer months my 4 & 6 year old will be around towards the end of the day and they are balls of energy and love playing with new dog friends. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pets. They would be fed according to your schedule and requirements, and regular photos provided.
About: Hi, I have been an animal lover my whole life and have had the privilege of caring for all kinds of animals. I have had and cared for your everyday pets like cats and dogs and then your not so "normal" pets like a baby skunk, racoon, and squirrel. I love all animals. I have 1 male cat and 1 female cat that are both fixed and up to date with their shots. They are very friendly and get along great with other animals.I have a 14 year old daughter that helps me a lot with feeding and walking our “guests”. I live in an apartment with an unfenced yard in the back. We live close to 3 very beautiful parks. Your pet will be very comfortable here and well cared for. We will treat them like one of our own fur babies. The living room is open for all the pets to sleep in and we have plenty of room for crates if needed. My pets sleep on the couch but there is room for beds and other sleeping materials. My daughter loves to share her bed too, which is mostly where the pups sleep when they’re here. Excellent references available upon request I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m home late afternoon during the week and all day on the weekends. I’m also home on most holidays. I have many repeat clients that love the freedom of being able to enjoy their vacation and feel at ease knowing their pets are cared for by someone that knows them and loves them. I am with the pets for most of the day and while I’m at work I have 2 cameras set up where I can see them at all times and talk to them. I’m open to house sitting but wouldn’t be able to spend all day there just because I have my daughter and my pets at home. But after work I’m able to stop in and handle anything that needed to be done. I’m home by 3:30 during the week and home all day on the weekends. During the summer my daughter is home and helps with bathroom breaks while I’m at work. I have an unfenced yard for the pups to play. We just keep the leashes on while we’re out. I can accommodate any food restrictions and administer oral/syringe medications as needed. I’m also available any time while your pet is staying with me, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Dolev was very sweet with my anxious puppy. She asked a lot of good questions at the meet and greet- being thorough so both of our expectations could be met. The updates during his stay set my mind at ease.”
“Sasha was VERY prompt with her responses and was willing to meet our last minute needs! Coco did have an accident while at Sasha's house and she was very understanding and didn't at all seemed bothered by it! I will DEFINITELY be getting in touch with Sasha again when in Orlando!!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 16 years old! I am reliable and make sure your dog is cleaned fed and walked. Played with and loved! Pet care fits into my daily routine because I like to take daily walks with my own dog around my neighborhood. I know it’s important for dogs to get out & get some fresh air everyday or as often as possible. Luckily I have the ability to do that, there is a fenced park where I take my own dog with this apartment complex. He enjoys playing fetch with his favorite ball or just running & laying on the grass as it is a pretty spacious area :) Vitamin D is good for everyone & every dog, so why not enjoy while you can, especially now with the warm weather rolling in. I care for any pets in my home, keeping my eyes on them. Making them feel wanted and in a safe environment. Providing food and taking them out to the bathroom. Understanding that I’m not their owner but letting them feel heard & that they are in good care.
About: My pack consists of 2 dogs and 3 cats. I have a 5 year old dachshund named Scout who is the absolute best boy you will ever meet! I trained him since he was a puppy to be my stress and anxiety service dog. He goes everywhere I go, including stores, restaurants, planes, and even Disney World. My second dog is a German Shepherd rescue named Nebula. She is the sweetest girl but unfortunately is very shy. Over the past year I have slowly getting her to break out of her shell. For any Disney fans out there I tell her to embrace her inner Merida and be Brave! My three cats are all unique in their own ways. My oldest is Lyla who is 17 and she only wants love and cuddles. My middle child is Stitch. He is spunky and adventurous and will follow you around the house even to the bathroom. My little princess is Willow. She is a calico beauty but would rather play with the dogs than do anything else. Her best friend is my 70lb German shepherd and it’s pretty adorable. I have large range of experience taking care of different breeds and different ages of pets! I love all fur babies! I work from home 5 days a week, Monday through Friday. I have Saturday and Sunday off. I am available all day to care for pets! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. I have lots of ramps for my dachshund to prevent back injuries! I have 2 dog crates that can be used because my dogs rarely need them.
“My Idgy was so excited to spend the day with Amanda and her family. She hopped right out of the truck and ran right into the house when Amanda greeted us at the door. Idgy got lots of playtime with Amanda and her pup. She is an asset to have on Rover.”
“Chelsea watched our 4 month old puppy for the day and did a fantastic job. Our dog was comfortable being left with Chelsea and she sent us photos throughout the day to keep us updated on how things were going. We will definitely be reaching out to Chelsea again in the future to watch our pup!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lawrence commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
