“Teddy had such a great time with Phoebe, Ben, and their sweet dog July! He usually sticks to his humans and doesn’t hang out much with other dogs, but July kept him great company during his 3-day stay. Phoebe was super nice and sent us daily pics of Teddy, which made us so happy. We’ll definitely have Teddy stay with Phoebe again!”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Svetlana and her family were amazing with Cornelius. Normally, I get nervous leaving Cornelius for my trips, but she checked in with me everyday, brought him on errands, and send me pics of him happy and healthy daily. I will definitely book again!!!”
“Our 4month old Weimaraner had her first overnight stay here. Since she is so young and it was first experience for us as well, we could not anticipate how she would react to the new environment. But they handled it all and kept her engaged! When she returned she was inquisitive about the house again but did not exhibit any signs of separation anxiety or clinging. We truly appreciate their patience with our little one and will always reach back for future boarding/day sitting needs.”
About: Long term pet parent and lover of animals. I am known for adopting animals in need of homes. I have had 3 cats and a dog over the past 10 years and most recently a turtle. My dog passed away in 2025 from cancer and I miss having my buddy around. I am not ready for a new dog so I am happy to spend time with yours. I currently have 2 kitties at home, one of which is a blind 1 year old. I work from home most days, but do travel occasionally for work. Please feel free to reach out, I have time to spare. I'm happy to assist you and your furbabies. I work remotely from home during the week and have availability to pop over for a walk, bathroom break or food assist. Since I work from home they can even hang out with me all day either inside or in my large fenced in yard. I have 2 cats who might be a little shy but are friendly. They have been around dogs and will hide if a dog is just too much energy. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for zoomies. I also have a crate, toys and bed for your dog.
“Mliss was amazing! The pre-stay meeting went great. Throughout the stay, Mliss sent many updates and pictures. Looks like Bella had a great time. Would highly recommend.”
About: I have 15+ years in dog sitting / animal care experience. I am a dog trainer by profession. (8+ years). I'm an active full time dog trainer, training all types of dogs, excelling in puppies, behavioral dogs, reactive dogs, and even "dangerous" dogs. Animals are my passion and I strive to provide the best care and attention for said animals in need. I currently work full time as a professional dog trainer and kennel attendant. I typically work a regular shift of 7am to 3pm, so I am available for late afternoon and evening pet care. (More availability on weekends) I have a 2.5 year old lab who is extremely friendly with other dogs, animals, adults, young children and babies. If I were to take your dog home (my home) it is a secure, safe house with a fenced yard, as well as crates if needed / requested. (My dog is crate trained and I have extra crates).
“Katy was fantastic with my dog Kallie! Kallie felt right at home with her and got lots attention! Katy sent lots of pictures and updates on how everything was going and videos of how much fun Kallie was having. I will be using Katy to watch Kallie any time we need to go out of town, she is great!!”
“Arnav did a great job. Buck had a hot spot arise right before my travel. He came home after my trip with significant healing accomplished. He went to his stay a bit anxious, not quite himself, and when I picked him up from Arnav, he was at ease. Arnav communicated regularly and well. He sent pictures. He asked questions. We discussed how to treat Bucks hot spot, and made some decisions together from a distance that worked well. Highly recommend Arnav for your dog.”
“Lee and her entire family are incredible dog sitters and treated Darla like their own! She warmed up to them right away and loved the fully fenced in yard. Lee was very responsive and provided daily updates and photos of her time with them. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“Chris did an excellent job caring for our energetic pup and was very communicative with us. Our dog wouldn't eat for the first day or so, but Chris figured out a way to entice him with some pumpkin. Chris was very easy to work with and sent us several sweet photos to show how much fun - and exercise! - our dog was having. We had a great experience working with Chris and look forward to booking our next stay with him!”
“Laura is phenomenal - we had several hiccups during our travel back home and had to extend her services two separate times - she was flexible and understanding. Our dog absolutely loves her and spending time at her beautiful property. She gave us a fabulous mug with my dogs pictures on it - I will treasure this greatly :) can’t wait to have Laura and Stella together again! Do not hesitate booking Laura!!”
“I couldn't be happier with my boarding experience for Tibet! Maria and her family were absolutely amazing, showering him with care and affection. Their genuine love for dogs shone through, and I felt completely at ease knowing Tibet was in such good hands. I definitely recommend Maria and her family to anyone looking for a loving boarding experience!”
“Tomoe and her family took great care of our Max and sent lots of pics and videos of him enjoying himself and getting lots of cuddles! We will definitely use her again when we need a sitter”
“Cathy and her family were great! They were very friendly, welcoming to our dog, communicative and thoughtful. They offered some of their dog's food when we under-measured for the week and sent a daily update. Bowie looked like he had a great time playing fetch in their yard and playing with Brady! Thank you for taking care of him!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Maynard
Alexander and Anna were super nice and friendly! We love it that they had a fenced yard and that they took Molly Ziba for long walks every day. The communication was also great, they sent us pictures and texts to update us regularly—some pictures were truly beautiful! We will definitely use their service again. :)
Pilar has been caring for our dog Keto for many years. Keto adores Pilar, and seems to think of her time with her as camp. Her tail starts wagging furiously the minute she realizes that Pilar has arrived to take her away, and she rarely looks back as she trots to the car. Pilar takes Keto and other dog buddies for walks in the woods and provides plenty of playtime in her large yard. Pilar is attentive to communication regarding drop off and pickups and sends us updates and pictures. She has observed and reported on how Keto is changing as she ages, from being the alpha to the older lady. We would only use Pilar's services if her schedule accommodated us!
Jackie was wonderful from the very beginning. She was extremely responsive and accommodating when I first reached out, and during my dog’s stay she kept us updated throughout the day with lots of pictures, which really gave me peace of mind. She was kind, polite, attentive, and followed all of our instructions exactly. Most importantly, it was very clear that my dog was being well cared for and comfortable with her. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care and would absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!

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 Maynard 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 Maynard 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 Maynard.
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 Maynard. 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 Maynard 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.
