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. 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.
“Mary was great with Cookie! We felt comfortable in leaving her under Mary’s care and she sent updates to us to let us know how she was doing throughout the week. We will definitely use her again!”
“Liza was amazing! Our dog Scooby stayed with her for 5 nights and she sent us daily photos and updates. It looked like he had a great time there. He seemed to want to stay when I picked him up!!! When ever we travel Liza will be the first option to take care of Scooby!”
“This was our first time leaving Sailor at Kate's house. I was a little nervous about it, because Sailor gets anxious and sad when we leave her anywhere. However, it turned out this was the perfect environment for her. She warmed up quickly and had a splendid time with Archie (their goldendoodle) and the whole family! I love that they only take one dog at a time. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and videos. They are flexible, attentive, warm, and kind. It was the perfect home away from home for Sailor.”
“It’s never easy leaving a pup behind when going on vacation, but it is comforting knowing you’ve found someone who I’ll care for them as you would! Our dog Scottie had a blast while we were away with Julia and Hugo, and we got daily updates and pictures of his stay with them. They are very communicative and I would, and plan to rebook with them again in the future with zero hesitation”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”
“It was my first time leaving my dog with Kira and Steve. I had to leave on an urgent trip and they were understanding and made the whole process super easy. Milly had a great time with them and they kept sending me text, image and video updates of everything going on with milly.”
“Amanda was awesome with my 6 month old puppy! She is friendly, welcoming, and provided a safe and loving atmosphere for my puppy while I was away. She was responsive when I texted to see how my dog was doing, and sent pictures. Amanda really put me at ease. Her sons were great with my puppy too! They loved playing with her in the yard, and my puppy thoroughly enjoyed her time with them. My puppy was happy and excited from all the fun and activities when I picked her up! I would definitely recommend Amanda as a responsible and nurturing dog sitter for anyone looking for care for their precious pup. We would definitely use her again!”
“Alison was responsive and thoughtful. She agreed to sit our utterly over-exuberant 14-month-old black Lab and we were so concerned that Alison’s family would be overwhelmed. Instead, she sent encouraging notes and exercised our dog extensively, so that she returned home relaxed. We really could not have asked for a better situation. Great people, a terrific fenced back yard, and good communication. Hard to beat that.”
“My golden retriever Zoe, spent several nights with Elaine over the last few months. I feel very comfortable leaving Zoe with her. I also like how she sends updates every day along with pictures.”
“Aline was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout the entire time. We really appreciated all the photos she sent—they showed how happy and comfortable Coco was. She paid attention to every detail and made sure our baby was safe and happy the whole time. Coco had such a great time with her! I will definitely book Aline again in the future. Thank you so much, Aline!”
“Michiko and Cliff were great. They sent me pictures and updates every day and took great care of Henry! They were very easy to communicate with. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Brianne took wonderful care of our minipoodle, Percy. She was very easy to reach and flexible when the snow storm through off our schedule, which was helpful. We will definitely reach out again!”
“Jane was so great! We met up before the booking to ensure our pup would feel right at home. He got plenty of walks and play time! When I picked him up, I knew how happy he was. This is the first time he didn't try to bolt to the car to go home from an over night stay! Thank you, Jane!”
“Victoria was a fantastic host. Her house is clean and has a nice fenced in back yard for the dogs to play freely. She has two very friendly dogs which was a huge plus since ours loves to play. Will certainly look to book with her again!”
“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!”
“Kristina is a dog pro! Alfredo loved her and I think she loved him back. :) I received lots of pictures and even a video. I did not worry at all about his care. Thank you Kristina!!”
“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Maynard
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!
Yvonne and family are AMAZING! They took such wonderful care of our German Shepherd while we were out of town. Yvonne sent lots of pictures of Maia having a wonderful time and being spoiled with lots of pets. It was such a relief to know she was happy and well cared for. I know Maia will be excited to visit again!
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!
Sasha and his family took great care of our shy, sweet Molly. I can’t say enough good things about them. It was our first time leaving her with strangers, and they gave her the right amount of space and attention to help her settle in. By the next morning they woke up to her stinky kisses in bed! They took Molly on walks/hikes and she cuddled with their daughtet in the human size dog bed watching movies. Sasha sent lots of great photos and updates each day. We are so grateful for their excellent care and kindness and will definitely use them again.
Megan was absolutely outstanding! She watched our 15 year old dog for 12 days while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for better care. She sent lots of photos and updates, gave all of his medications right on schedule, and was very responsive and responsible throughout. The biggest testament to how comfortable Riley was is that he had no accidents or diarrhea during his stay—something that usually happens when he's anxious or unhappy. It was clear he felt safe and loved. Her kids were also so sweet and gentle with him. We would trust Megan with Riley again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!

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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.

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 .
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.

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.
