I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits.

I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs they may have. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I treat every pet like family and make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos, so they can feel confident knowing their furry baby is receiving the attention and care they deserve.
“We love having Luna stay with Jessica! We rest easy knowing that she is well cared for and having fun. Jessica is responsive to Luna’s individual needs and it is clear Luna loves staying with her. We will definitely use Jessica again in the future!”
“Ruth was absolutely wonderful and very flexible! She and Roxy welcomed Pablo and made him comfortable and happy from the moment one. I was comfortable knowing that my senior pup is in loving and experienced hands. He had a great time socializing, walking and enjoying Ruth's backyard. Thank you so much!!”
“We boarded our chocolate lab, Finn, with Kavita for 10 days while we were traveling, and we couldn't have been happier. Kavita sent us photos of Finn every single day, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and having a good time. Finn loved hanging out with Kavita's dog, Toby. Leaving your dog for that long is never easy, but Kavita made it stress-free. We're so grateful for the attentive care she gave Finn and would happily board with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Michele and her family were warm and friendly towards our dog Polly. Polly enjoyed the company of Michele’s pets. And Michele took Polly on long walks and she seemed happy and relaxed when we picked her up.”
“Lanie had an amazing time with Susan and came back super tired from a day of playing with her two golden retrievers. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience for leaving her with someone overnight!”
“Cherie was very communicative and flexible with timings. Sent me photos of Ralphie and he definitely looked very happy staying with her. Will use her services again in the future.”
“Asia was WONDERFUL!! This was our first time leaving our pup Chickoo for such an extended period of time and she went above and beyond to ease my mind. She was extremely communicative, provide multiple updates with pictures daily, and answered any questions we had. Asia took care of Chickoo like he was her own and we are so thankful we found her! 10000% recommend her to anyone looking to have peace of mind while traveling.”
“As always, Stacey provided us with numerous updates and cute photos during our pup's stay. He loves his time with her and is always happy and tired upon his return home. Stacey is the best!”
“Our yellow lab seemed to enjoy the company and care at Lindsay's house. He moved right in to share her dog's bed and apparently made himself right at home. The photos that Lindsay sent us showed him relaxing during his "camp" weekend at her house. This was our first time using Lindsay's services and it was a great success!”

“Michelle was wonderful with my Mookie. I was so pleased when she sent me pictures of Mookie knowing that she was having a good time without me there. This was the first time I had ever left her with anyone and it made me feel very comfortable, knowing that she was being well taken care of. Thank you, Michelle. I I highly recommend Michelle.”

Another very good stay. Our dog gets overly excited and anxious when boarding, but Xiaofan manages her nevertheless. She sends lots of photos and is very responsive to questions. They have a very nice large yard. We will definitely keep working with her if she'll have us!
This was our first time leaving our boy Gilly with anyone on Rover. We chose Peter and his family based on reviews and rating. We received daily updates and pictures while we were away which eased our minds and enabled us to enjoy our trip. It was clear when we picked him up that he had been loved and treated very well. We highly recommend Peter and his wife to watch your furbaby. We will definitely use them again in the future.
Annabella took amazingly great care of my best girl Carley. I will recommend Annabella for any fur baby owner to use as a sitter. My Carley has anxiety over being separated from her family. Annabella over achieved with my girl. I have had adverse reactions with previous boarding at some facilities. My Carley was taken extremely good care of and did not want to leave her care. I will definitely use Anabella again if she is available. Completely recommend!
AMAZING experience for (me and) my dog Milo!! Kelly and her family, including her sweet dog, Mickey, were welcoming, accommodating, loving and gentle throughout my dog's stay at their house. From the meet up to pick up, they had nothing but love and patience for my shy rescue. He quickly settled in. The pictures, videos, and reports she updated me with over 10 days show him happy, relaxed and thriving. Her home and back yard are lovely and safe for dogs to run around and be themselves. A wonderful experience for Milo and a great comfort for me while I had to be away from him. Highly recommend!!!! 🐾
Williana did an amazing job with are dog Gizmo. She kept us updated every day with pictures and letting us know how he was doing. We were afraid he wasn’t gonna eat, and she got him to eat. She made him feel comfortable. They went for walks and Gizmo got to enjoy being in the nice big back yard. Gizmo also made a new friend Ripley. Would definitely leave Gizmo again. Thank you so much Williana for taking such good care of Gizmo!
Kelsey is amazing! We were able to enjoy our time away without any worry because of how reliable, capable, and kind she is. She sent a few pictures of their cuddles, but otherwise, focused all her attention on him throughout the weekend. We (and Ralphie) would love to have her puppysit again!
We boarded our Dobby (dog) with Jo Tom during a family crisis. They treated him with the same level of love and care as they do their own. They sent daily pics and updates. Communicated with us clearly and without delay. He was comfortable, confident, safe, healthy, and happy with them. I highly recommend Jo and Tom for doggy day care and stay care. Jo. Thank you so very much. It was a huge relief knowing that our precious boy was safe with you.
This was the very first time Bella and I used a pet sitter, and Katie and Liam absolutely exceeded our expectations. They took amazing care of my sassy little Chihuahua, Bella, who typically struggles with new people—especially men—but she loved Liam and got comfortable in their home surprisingly quickly. I received several photos of Bella looking relaxed, cozy, and clearly getting plenty of love and attention, which gave me such peace of mind. It was obvious she felt safe and happy with them. I would highly recommend Katie and Liam to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and I’ve already shared their name with a few of my fellow pet-parent friends. I now feel completely at ease knowing I’ve found a true gem in Katie and Liam. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my Bella—and for the yummy cookies you sent her home with (for me 😉).

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Lowell can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lowell home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lowell.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lowell. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lowell sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
