About: For the past six months, I’ve been caring for my own Shih Tzu, and she inspired me to become a pet caregiver. Taking care of her has taught me the importance of patience, love, and responsibility. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and making sure she feels safe, happy, and comfortable. Caring for my dog has shown me how rewarding it is to provide pets with the attention and affection they deserve, and I’m excited to give the same level of care to every dog I look after. I'm currently working part-time. I only work Monday, Thursday, 7 hours and Friday 3 hours, which means that I have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet ❤️ I also have a 6-month-old dog of the Shihtzu breed so your baby will have company 🥰 I have a house with a patio in front of the house with a defense, also a backyard for the kids to play, the backyard has no defense because it connects with the parking lot of the house, they will have daily walks and above all I’ll take them to the park, parks where dogs are allowed all under precautions
“Ariella was great! She was able to get to my Sumo on very short notice after cancellation by another service, which provided me much relief while at work. Sumo got a nice long walk, a belly rub (which she loves) and fresh water!!”
About: With a genuine love for all animals, I've been caring for furry friends for over three years professionally here in the US. Back in Italy, my experience stems from caring for my own dogs, creating a deep understanding of the bond between pets and their owners. My services include feedings, baths, regular walks, and extra attention for senior dogs. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, providing them the extra attention they need, such as assistance with walking and more frequent potty breaks. Your furry friend isn't just another job for me; it's an opportunity to make sure they feel cherished, secure, and content. As I ease back into the workplace, my schedule is open and flexible, allowing ample time to prioritize and care for your pets daily. Your furry friends are a top priority in my routine, receiving not just attention but genuine companionship. Unfortunately, I can't board pets in my home, but I offer dedicated in-home sitting services. I prioritize your pet's well-being by maintaining their familiar routine, creating a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure their needs are met, from feeding and playtime to adhering to any specific requirements. Your pets can enjoy the coziness of their own space while receiving the care, attention, and respect they deserve.
“Rachel followed instructions very well and was so patient with Chimmy and Chammy. I am so grateful for her care and attention for my furbabies! Highly recommend her!”
About: I currently have a 6 year old dog and have been training and caring for him since he was 10 weeks old. He is a boxer/Shepard mix that we rescued from a shelter in Georgia. I also was a dog sitter/walker for my neighbor’s dog and have cared for my cousin’s dogs as well! Love all sizes, breeds, and ages! I work part-time 3-4x/ week babysitting, coaching, and as a medical assistant in an office. My schedule is pretty flexible especially in the mornings and late evenings. I have a six year old mutt Jameson. He is super active and I take him on walks 3x/ day and play with him in our yard. I am happy to exercise, play, feed, and care for dogs in whatever way is needed. I would be happy to care take of dogs in your house but will not be able to board them in my house because of Jameson.

About: Hi, I’m Francesca. I’ve grown up with all kinds of dogs, from big breeds like Greyhounds and Newfoundlands to smaller ones like Yorkiepoos and Jack Russells. I currently care for some family and friends' dogs, but I’d love to meet and help take care of your furry friends too! I have a flexible hybrid schedule and can work from anywhere. Helping our furry friends is just the icing on the cake. I enjoy it! This is a service I currently do not offer as my residence does not allow for pets of any kind; however, I can certainly come to you!
“It’s always such a pleasure to see and read what my little fur baby was up to while I was at work. Tedy is excellent at keeping me informed and keeping my Phoebe happy.”
About: I myself am a dog mom to a grumpy but loving 10 year old shih tzu. But my pet experience includes fishes, rodents and cats as well! I have walked and sat many other dogs from chihuahuas to poodles to huskies. I enjoy taking them on long walks and meeting other dogs on the way. I love bonding and playing with energetic pups but also down to relax with an older or tired dog. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Currently have a regular job with a few side gigs but can definitely walk, pet sit, administer medication or just check up on your furry friend if our schedules coincide! I provide updates upon arrival and of how said walk or hours of care where. Willing to share location when at your home to give you a peace of mind and send pictures/videos!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and with different needs since I was a teen. I’ve had two of my own :) I’m very active so love doing out door activities with them! I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to play with your furbaby’s! I am available to drop in for walks if you’re local, dog-sit, and board in my home. With a lot of love and as if they were my own. I have a yard but mainly love going on walks or hikes (depending on the dog). I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule and I don’t ever leave a pet alone more than 3 hrs at most I care for them as I do my own. My husband and I are usually home and if possible (depending on the furbaby) we always include the pups in any outdoor errand/activity
“Peggy was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous about leaving our Prince, but I knew we were in great hands the first time we all met. From her walk-by-walk update, videos and pics of their FANTASTIC jaunts to even helping my Mom, who was staying with Prince while we traveled, Peggy went above and beyond making sure we were as OK being away from him as he was. She not only became our go-to for Prince’s care, she’s truly became part of our family!”
About: Growing up caring for my Havanese dog who quickly became my best friend, I find immense joy playing with and taking care of dogs. I have plenty of experience dog sitting and dog walking for others as a side job. Please let me know when I am needed! Monday-Friday Before 8 and after 4 work best with one lunch break in between. Weekends I’m free most times but just let me know and I can be flexible! I ensure the dog is well fed and has plenty of water while making sure the dog gets plenty of exercise outside and inside playing with their favorite toys. I am very responsible and have keen attention to detail making sure your home is spotless and locked up prior to leaving.
About: I’ve been working at an animal hospital for approximately 6 years. I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs. I can’t wait to take care of yours!❤️ I work at an animal hospital so most days I’m there helping out the animals of the community. I have a few days off and don’t mind spending it with more fur babies🥰!! I plan on double and triple checking everything. I’m very paranoid when it comes to my own pet sometimes, so of course I plan a showing the same care to yours.
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life, and dogs are the greatest animal of all. I currently volunteer at North Shore Animal League as well as the Hope for Cleo Animal Rescue in Suffolk. Love to play and give all the pets to our furry friends! I am a newly-licensed Registered Nurse taking a much-needed vacation. My schedule is 13 days a month at work, and the rest are off days, leaving plenty of time to walk doggies and drop in for potty breaks and play time. My dogs have always lived with a fenced-in yard, but I am not currently offering housing/boarding services. I am willing to travel to help take care of your pup!
About: Hello! We are RuthAnn and Brandon, a husband and wife duo of lifelong dog lovers. We know that your dog isn’t just a pet… they are FAMILY! That’s why when your pup stays with us they aren’t just “guest dogs” they become a part of our family too. Plus there’s two of us so this means TWICE the love and attention of a regular sitter :) A little bit about us: We are the proud “aunt and uncle” to our family dogs, West and Sadie. We’ve added them to our profile so you can get to know more about them there. While they don’t live with us they visit us often and they are very friendly, so if they happen to be over during your pups stay, that just means more friends to play with! I am currently a nursing student in my last semester and my husband works in sales! So one of the biggest perks of booking with us is that our schedules are flexible. At least one of us is always home. So your pup will have constant companionship, potty breaks and plenty of belly rubs thought the day. We also have a large fully fenced yard that’s perfect for zoomies or a game of fetch! We want you to have total peace of mind when you book with us, so we offer meet and greets prior to booking, as well as regular updates, photos and videos of all the fun your dog is having. We can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Seamlessly because we are home based and flexible. Between the two of us, your dog will have constant supervision and a routine tailored to their needs! We live in a fully fenced home so your pup has full access to a safe fenced yard for supervised play of course. Because Brandon and I are home, your pup gets a perfect balance of activity and rest. We follow your specific feeding and medications to a T (we know how important this is) and we love to provide plenty of belly rubs and cuddles on the couch. We keep a tidy dog proofed home and we keep fresh water available at all times!! We are a team that’s big on communication so you’ll receive daily updates with photos and videos so you can see exactly what your baby is up to. If your dog enjoys company, we love to facilitate play, if they are on the shyer more timid side and prefer one on one time, we can accommodate for that as well.
About: I bring years of hands-on experience caring for all kinds of pets—from playful pups and curious cats to reptiles with special needs. My background working alongside veterinary professionals gives me extra insight into keeping your pet safe and comfortable. I’m passionate about tailoring care to each animal’s personality and routine, so you can relax knowing your furry (or scaly) friend is in loving, capable hands. I’d love to help make your pet’s day a happy one—let’s connect! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. I plan my week around the pets I care for to make sure they get the attention, play, and love they deserve. Whether I’m visiting pets in their home or caring for them in mine, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routines, give lots of attention, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise, playtime, and rest. My apartment has a dog-friendly area and plenty of walking paths nearby, which makes it easy to keep pets active and happy during their stay or visit!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Sivan was such a phenomenal dog walker!! She is really great with my dog, Bryson. She is an amazing person and hardworking. She is someone I would collaborate with again. She was very punctual and trustworthy. I would most definitely recommend you book with her 🎉🥳
Daniel is family now. Bodhi is a new fur baby and to say I’m overprotective is an understatement. Unfortunately, I had a horrible car accident shortly after I adopted him and needed help. Daniel was responsive to my requests, communicated effectively and did a meet and greet. His personality is warm and Bodhi felt at ease. He even brought his pup Shiloh. So happy to have him in my support system. I trust him with Bodhi and that’s priceless.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lawrence. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
