“Donnie is amazing. Not only is he beyond accommodating with pick up and drop off times but more importantly he clearly has a passion for dogs and treats our pup like his own. He is gentle with the dogs, interactive, and helps out with any training questions we have. 110% recommend him to anybody looking for a sitter, or trainer.”
“Katrina and her husband were absolutely amazing! They were very communicative and shared regular updates. My dog is very shy, but after just one day, she was licking their faces and clearly loved being close to them. Katrina has a few dogs of her own and is very mindful about introducing the pups to each other. Her dogs are very well behaved and there were no issues with my dog being around them. I highly recommend Katrina and will definitely use her services again soon.”
About: I bring genuine care and patience to every dog I work with. I’ve personally cared for a Husky for the past 4 years, so I understand the importance of exercise, attention, consistency, and handling high-energy dogs with confidence. Huskies require a lot of patience and structure, which has helped me become very attentive to dogs’ needs and behaviors. I also have experience walking other dogs of different sizes and personalities, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s energy level and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just wants someone calm and comforting around, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I can help reinforce basic training, maintain routines, provide regular exercise, and make sure pets get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I’m especially good with energetic breeds, shy dogs that need patience, and dogs who thrive on companionship and consistency. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I make time each day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention so they feel safe and relaxed while in my care. I have a Fenced in yard, so sometimes I will let them run around the back yard, play fetch. And after a few minutes take them on a quick walk. I update Dog parents with Videos and photos so they get updates on there dogs well being and i will always ask for specific diets dogs may have so there routine doesn't change when they're in my care!
“Lupa had a great time with Jing and her family!! I received pictures of him and updates during his stay and I felt at ease knowing he is having a great time playing with his doggy friends and being taken great care of. I will definitely book again when I need a sitter for him!”
“For my first time ever leaving my dog with someone else, I had a great experience. I am very happy that I found someone I feel comfortable leaving my dog with who is caring, attentive, and makes you feel comfortable that your dog will be properly taken care of.”
About: In addition to my own 2 dogs and all of the family and farm dogs I grew up with, I have fostered rescues at various times over the years. I have a fenced backyard and my boys (both neutered) are calm and friendly fellows. I'm a mindfulness coach that works from my home. Most days I can be found meditating, reading, or hanging with my two boys Farley (old man) and Fawkes (young man). Lots of snoring dogs here with the occasional community bark at around dinner time. I have a fenced in yard where they pups are free to roam, an enormous dog bed, and a free range policy within the house. I can, of course, follow any crating practices that you use at home during your friend's stay.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! Currently I have one small senior little dog in our home today. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around! I 100% work from home and have flexible schedules so that I can play/take your dog/s for a walk throughout the day based on their schedule. I am fully remote and have a flexible schedule. When the weather is nice I tend to work in our backyard so your pets can play outside all they want. Summer months my 4 & 6 year old will be around towards the end of the day and they are balls of energy and love playing with new dog friends. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pets. They would be fed according to your schedule and requirements, and regular photos provided.
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life so I’m used to being around them. I also have had one other dog before and now have a mini dachshund. I’m very comfortable with taking care of dogs and having them in my space. I work a full time job at home, but I’m in control of my own schedule and am very flexible. I’m also available weekends and in the summer, I’m even more flexible. I take my dog out 2-3x a day depending on weather. We go on walk across the street at the park for about 15-20 min and when we are back inside, he is allowed to roam freely. He eats 2x a day with snacks in between and he always has water out. I play with him as much as I can throughout the day to make sure he doesn’t get too bored with his day too! My apartment is always clean to ensure that my pup doesn’t get into anything he isn’t supposed to. Lastly, my apartment building is secure as you need a key fob or someone to buzz you in to enter the building.
“Sasha was VERY prompt with her responses and was willing to meet our last minute needs! Coco did have an accident while at Sasha's house and she was very understanding and didn't at all seemed bothered by it! I will DEFINITELY be getting in touch with Sasha again when in Orlando!!”
About: I’ve been consistently walking dogs and caring for pets for several years, with a perfect safety record and a passion for making every walk and visit a happy experience. Over 50 pet parents trust me to care for their furry family members thanks to my reliability, preparation, and genuine love for animals. I’m also fully insured, giving you extra peace of mind that your pet is in safe, professional hands. Whether it’s a stroll, a stay, or a playdate, I always come ready to make sure your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for! I provide pet care full time, which means I have a flexible schedule to fit your needs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week and on weekends. Whether you need a regular walking routine or last-minute help, I’m here to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve whenever you need it. For your pet’s safety, I stick closely to their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always secure doors, gates, and fences to prevent escapes and use properly fitted collars, harnesses, and leashes during walks. I supervise all outdoor time, monitor pets closely to avoid dangerous situations, and keep hazardous items like cleaning supplies or unsafe foods out of reach. I carefully follow any special instructions, including administering medications, and I stay alert for any signs of illness or stress. I’m also prepared for emergencies, with local vet information and emergency contacts on hand. Whether it’s adjusting walk times for extreme weather or sending regular updates to you, your pet’s safety is always my top priority.
“Cheryl has a great setup and is a dog lover and incredible resource! We had a meet and greet prior to the day I dropped off my 4 month old puppy and I felt at ease leaving her there (her first daycare experience which could’ve been nerve wracking but I knew she’d be in great hands). My pup was tired from playing and learning from the other dogs there and slept so well after! I will be using Cheryl’s services again in the future!”
“Vanessa was a wonderful sitter for our dog, Finn. My puppy had plenty of playtime and lots of exercise. We appreciated the frequent updates. It was clear that Finn was well taken care of!”
“Chelsea watched our 4 month old puppy for the day and did a fantastic job. Our dog was comfortable being left with Chelsea and she sent us photos throughout the day to keep us updated on how things were going. We will definitely be reaching out to Chelsea again in the future to watch our pup!”
“Dolev was very sweet with my anxious puppy. She asked a lot of good questions at the meet and greet- being thorough so both of our expectations could be met. The updates during his stay set my mind at ease.”
“Literally soooo awesome!! Such a sweet, caring, and kind person!! She truly made me feel so happy leaving my pup with her because she was so communicative, sent pictures and videos, and assured me he was truly in good hands. She’s easily accessible and super responsive. I also appreciate how responsible and on time she was with the pick up and drop off for my dog’s daycare with her. I truly appreciate Katherine!!!”
“Sindy was fantastic with Tyler! They went on several walks, and they spent most of the day outside exploring. He loved every minute of it! I would definitely request Sindy again and highly recommend her.”

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 Methuen 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,670 sitters in Methuen, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
