About: I treat every animal exactly as if they were my own. With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, my background is deeply rooted in animal welfare. Growing up in Maryland, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, interned with an equine veterinary clinic, and served as a volunteer and instructor in equine therapy. I came to Boston for college and have resided here ever since! I am still an avid equestrian today, and this lifelong dedication to animals has shaped my approach to pet care: I am incredibly detail-oriented, highly observant, and bring infinite patience to every animal's unique needs. I grew up surrounded by large dogs—including three wonderful Labradors—as well as multiple cats. Recently, my husband, Johnny, and I moved to Marblehead, where we share our home with our two sweet cats, Ozzy and Willis. What to Expect When You Book With Me: Constant Companionship: As a working professional in the consulting industry who is fully remote, my flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable supervision. I ensure your pets receive lots of daytime companionship and are never left alone for more than 4-5 hours a day. Tailored Attention: Family and friends have always relied on me for meticulous care. I make it a priority to learn everything about your pet's routine, quirks, and needs to ensure they are happy and safe. Professional & Insured: As an established, fully independently insured pet care professional, I am always happy to discuss flexible care and scheduling arrangements that work best for your family. Reliability & Safety: I have my own reliable vehicle, allowing for complete flexibility with visits and peace of mind in the unlikely event of an emergency. Meet & Greets: Finding the right match is important! I am always happy to schedule a virtual or in-person meet-and-greet to ensure we are a mutual fit. Please note: For house sitting, I currently accept booking requests a maximum of 3 months in advance. Thank you for understanding! I work fully remote from my home. For house sitting, I use your house as a homebase to make your pet feel comfortable and used to their normal routine. I am able to drop in, house sit, and walk your furry friend, feed and play with your dog or cat, and everything in between (and of course take many pictures!)
“Jennifer was so excited to meet Ruby and she clearly loves animals. He had a great day with her and her 2 little doggies. She even had gifts to send home with him. Highly recommend and Ruby will be thrilled to see her again soon!”
About: “I stand out for my patience and dedication. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, from puppies that need training to older pets that require special attention. I always prioritize the safety, well-being and happiness of each animal, adapting to their individual needs. I also have experience taking care of the elderly. " "Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I dedicate specific time for walks, feeding, games and supervision, making sure that each pet receives constant attention, exercise and affection, without affecting my other responsibilities." "When I take care of pets in my home, I create a safe, clean and comfortable environment, making sure they have fresh water, food, exercise and daily playtime. At the client's home, I follow all his specific instructions to maintain the pet's routine, respecting his habits and individual needs."
“Natali took such great care of our 11 month old puppy during his first overnight stay away from home. She was patient, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even though he was a little nervous from being in a new environment, she was incredibly understanding and attentive to his needs. We could tell he was well cared for and had a great time with Natali and Rocko. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Natasha and Jonathan were great with our 8 month old puppy! From the meet and greet right through his day care stay. Natasha sent updates, pictures and video during the stay. When I picked Mochi up he was excited to see me but I noticed he circled back around to say thank you to both Natasha and Jonathan. He had a very happy stay with them. Would recommend, and will use Natasha and Jonathan again. Thank you both :)”
“SO great! I was in town unexpectedly for a funeral and Samantha immediately accepted my last minute booking. My pup “Holly” has separation anxiety, so I was a little worried about how things would go, but Samantha and her husband had her calm and rolling over for belly rubs in a flash. She sent lots of photos and text updates to reassure me that things were going well. If I lived here I would use Samantha all the time. I cannot more highly recommend!!”
About: I have been always a pet lover since my childhood I grow up around many different species of animals. I had rabbits, small birds, big parrots , guinea pigs, and many stray cats and dogs that my family rescued from the streets of Brazil which is my original place of birth. I think the joy, companionship and unconditional love they give to us It’s priceless. Pets are amazing and very special to me because they make my life so much happier. I work most days from home as a dog groomer, which give me the flexibility to play with my puppies and yours during the day and take care of their needs at night. I have two friendly golden retrievers names, Rocky and Skyla they enjoy to play and meet new friends. I currently offer play groups two times per week at my house where they can get to play and run around with other dogs. I also have a huge backyard all fenced and with cameras to make sure our babies are safe and secured all the time. During the summer, they can enjoy themselves playing inside the dog pool with sprinklers and doing other water activities to freshen up but if they prefer they can just relax under the shade of the one many trees in the backyard . They are going to feel that they are in a pet resort where they can run free and happy during their stay. Pick up and drop off are available near my area as well a discount on GROOMING for new guests.. I accept dogs of any age and with any limitations and physical disability If you are looking for someone reliable and trustful to take care of your fur baby I am here to help you . Thank you and I am looking forward to meet you and your pet soon. 🐶🐕🦮🐩🐕🦺 I work from home most days which allows me to spend a lot of time with my dogs and play with them outside in the backyard. My backyard is all fenced and we have cameras but even so the dogs are never left alone outside . All plants and flowers are safe for pets so you don’t need to worry about them eating anything dangerous.

About: Animals are my passion I went to high school for veterinary science, and have worked in all aspect of the animal world, grooming, daycare, walking, sitting, and even the medical aspect.

I have a two story duplex with a mostly fenced in yard, but I do also have super long leads screwed into the ground incase of anything. animal care is my passion and what I love to do.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marblehead
Kristin has been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Ollie! 🐶❤️ From the very beginning, she has been caring, reliable, patient, and attentive to his needs. Ollie is still a puppy, so he has lots of energy and is still learning, but Kristin has been so great with him. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that when Ollie is with her, he is safe, happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. Ollie is always happy to see Kristin, which says everything! We feel very lucky to have found someone we can trust with him and would absolutely recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Kristin, for taking such great care of our Ollie! 🐾❤️
I can not say enough good things about Mirellys! What drew my eye to her at first was the price, which was very reasonable. She responded to my inquiry right away. The meet and greet went great. Mirellys home is clean, organized and smelled amazing; surprisingly for having so many different dogs in and out of her house! She sent pictures and videos throughout the day too. She is so sweet, very personable and gives all the attention and love a puppy and/or dog could want. My puppy, Jubilee is just 4 months old and Mirellys was great with her during the meet and greet.
Beth was great and my dog came home a very happy pup! When we arrived, she had already familiarized herself with his diet instructions, which gave me peace of mind from the start. She also sent regular updates and a photo during the stay. We’ll definitely book with Beth again!
We can’t say enough good things about AnnMarie! She took incredible care of our 10-week-old puppy, Sally, while I was traveling for work. Sally was too young for regular doggy daycare, and AnnMarie stepped in so she wouldn’t have to be alone for long stretches while her dad was at work. As first-time Rover users and first-time puppy parents, we were understandably nervous leaving her for the first time, but AnnMarie immediately put us at ease. She treated Sally like her own pup, gave her so much love and attention, and kept us updated throughout the day, which meant everything to us. Sally had a great time and was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re so grateful we found AnnMarie. Highly, highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Marblehead is $47 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $59 per day. 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 of October 2026, there are 2,700 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Marblehead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Marblehead 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,700 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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 , 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 .
