“Emily was amazing! I needed someone to take my black lab out last minute, and she responded right away. She was super communicative, and sent lots of updates/cute pics. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been pet sitting for friends and family for years and love it, so I've made it formal through Rover. I'm reliable, organized, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I have a background working with dogs, cats, small animals, and exotics (frogs, ferrets, birds, hamsters, mice, and more). Red Cross Pet First Aid certified as of 6/13/26. My own cat, Juniper, is part of the household, so I'm practiced at multi-pet dynamics, including with both cats and dogs. I have a large fenced yard and flexible space to accommodate different comfort levels between animals. Pet sitting fits naturally into my life. I work full-time but I'm selective about bookings and plan in advance. I typically board one family at a time and keep concurrent bookings minimal (2 pets max) so I can give full attention. I have a standing commitment Wednesday evenings in the Fall and Spring for only a couple hours and work around it when needed. Saturdays vary week to week, and I'm flexible about drop-in visits around my schedule, but will confirm with pet parents in advance. The key is advance planning. I ask for at least a week's notice whenever possible so both of us can prepare. I turn down bookings if there's a genuine conflict that week rather than overcommit. In my home (boarding): I have a large fenced yard, climate-controlled space, and the ability to section off areas if animals need separation for comfort. My own cat, Juniper, is here, so I manage multi-pet dynamics carefully. I watch for stress signals and adjust setup as needed. Routines are consistent (feeding times, potty breaks, exercise), and I monitor behavior closely for anything unusual. I'll provide updates and photos to set your mind at ease while you're away from your pet. In your home (drop-ins): I'll follow your instructions—feeding schedules, medication, play preferences, access restrictions. I'll check in, take photos/notes for updates, and flag any concerns immediately. Always: Red Cross Pet First Aid certified. If something feels off such as a behavior change, health concern, stress, I share as soon as I notice. As a pet owner myself, I treat you and your pet like I'd want someone treating me and mine.
“Stacey was so accommodating and fantastic watching our dog Monty!!! She sent cute pictures through out his trip, and he came back tired because he had so much fun playing!! 110 percent would recommend her. She’s amazing!”
“Five stars is not enough! We left Chewbacca with Karen for a few days this week. Chewbacca has various specific needs, including oral medication and prescription diet, and he gets very nervous when first dropped off. We have never had such a strong sense of peace of mind with a dog sitter as we did this weekend. Karen was extremely communicative, updated us through text and pictures throughout the day, and always made sure to go the extra mile so Chewbacca felt safe and cared for. We will absolutely be calling her again!”
“Jane was great. She was easy to work with and arranged a convenient time to meet my dog (and me). She asked a lot of great questions about Georgie, her habits, her likes, etc. She made me feel confident that my dog was in great hands.”
“It was very nice to have Alison to take care of my dog Leela. She’s very good updating her stay status. I would love to have the opportunity to leave my dog with her.”
“It's always hard to leave your dog behind while on vacation but I instantly felt as ease as soon as I dropped my baby boi off. He had an amazing time and the daily photos and updates were much appreciated. And because he was so well taken care of, I could fully enjoy my trip. I highly recommend.”
“Thankful to find Kimm and Kenn! Our timid pup was quite comfortable with them in a short visit! Would absolutely recommend and Timber will be back to visit again soon!”
“We had such a great experience leaving our little Luna with Jacob and Willie (his friendly dog!). Jacob was super communicative with little reassuring updates and made sure to provide a cozy and comfortable space for her to stay while we were on vacation. Were really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who’s looking for someone to care for their pup!”
“Cassandra had our pup over the holidays and went out of her way to accommodate us and make him perfectly at home, even in the midst of the year’s busiest season. She sent wonderful notes and photos, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he received. Thank you so much, Cassandra!”
“Vanessa was great! She treated my girls like they were her own, which is exactly what I was looking for in a sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing with plenty of pictures. My girls were treated to many walks, plenty of play time, and cuddles. I’m so relieved to have found Vanessa!”
“Mike and his family did a wonderful job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They send lots of photos and really treat her like one of the family, she has the best time there and I know she is being well cared for, highly recommend.”
“Another great stay with Mary! Ellie was so happy being looked after by Mary and she came home super relaxed. Mary sent several pictures throughout our pup's stay. All we could ask for! Thank you Mary!”
“Amanda and her family were great with out little Pluto. He loved being around her dog Chai and her wonderful children. We loved it so much that he is going back this weekend. Thank you so much Amanda.”
“Rose was amazing!! She sent many updates and photos. I get worrried leaving my girl but Rose made me realize she was in great hands. Even sent home doggy treats for Christmas. My girl had a great time and Rose is now my go to!!! Thank you”

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 are so grateful to have found Jessica and Breyin! Our cat requires medication and has 3 legs. She was loved and had the best care staying with Jessica and Breyin. We got pictures and updates throughout vacation which makes any pet mama’s heart full! Thank you Jessica and Breyin!
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 😉).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Lowell is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 3,945 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lowell. About 90% of Lowell sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
