“Thank you Irene for taking such care of my dog Bentley! She was very responsive, sent updates, and my dog was immediately comfortable with her. She was very thoughtful and put me at complete ease while I had plans! Thank you so much and look forward to booking with Irene again.”


“This was our first time leaving the pups anywhere with anyone other than family, and we left them for 3 days and nights over President's Day Weekend when we went up north. We chose Thea based on the excellent reviews and also availability. I brought the dogs over to meet her and Karma, her dog, and my dogs seemed comfortable there right away. My dogs, who are 65-75 pound puppies, can be quite rowdy, but to my surprise, they were calmed by the other dogs' energy. Even when we stopped by for a meet and greet, they made themselves at home by finding a cozy place to lounge and chew on a toy. Throughout the weekend, other dogs came and went, and our pups seemed to get along with all of them. It was very refreshing and Thea was very accommodating. She brought them to the dog park, on walks, and even an excursion to the beach, which we hadn't been quite brave enough to try yet ourselves. We definitely have our hands full with these two, and she has reassured us that we are doing a good job with them. We feel like we made a great choice sending our dogs to Dorothea.”

“Carolyn was wonderful! She watched our dog while we skied mount snow for the day. She was flexible with drop off/ pick up times, sent us pictures throughout the day, and even gifted us some home baked cookies! ?”
“Asia was WONDERFUL!! This was our first time leaving our pup Chickoo for such an extended period of time and she went above and beyond to ease my mind. She was extremely communicative, provide multiple updates with pictures daily, and answered any questions we had. Asia took care of Chickoo like he was her own and we are so thankful we found her! 10000% recommend her to anyone looking to have peace of mind while traveling.”

“If you are looking for someone responsive, compassionate, and just a nice human being taking care of your loved one, then Philip is the person for the job. He sent pics and updated me often, making my trip less stressful. I will certainly be calling Philip again!!”

“We had Jessica care for our Murphy during our family vacation. It was the first time we left him with someone other than family. We did a quick meet and greet before booking, we instantly felt comfortable. Jessica sent pictures and updates throughout the week so we knew how he was doing. We will definitely reach out to Jessica again when we need someone to care for Murphy!”

“Chelsea was great with our 2 dogs! She listened and kept their schedules almost like home. She (and her partner) were great dog-sitters! She communicated quickly and kept us in the know on their stay. Ill use her again for sure!”


“We were very nervous about boarding our 2 dogs for the first time—especially since one of our dogs can be anxious in new situations/surroundings. We decided to trial an overnight boarding before we have to leave for a flight in a few weeks, and Sergio was super helpful and accommodating. He sent us text updates throughout the evening to let us know how both dogs were settling in (one took longer than the other), but he was patient with them, and he said they both did great! He sent us a video of them playing outside the next morning, and when we came to pick them up, he gave us a more detailed rundown of their stay. Because of this trial with him, we have peace of mind about boarding them the second time around. It’s obvious Sergio has compassion and experience with caring for dogs, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to our friends!”

About: I have had dos and cats most of my life, I currently have 2 cats and my boyfriend has an adopted pup from Aruba who we adopted while on vacation! I am recently retired, and am looking to fill some spare time taking care of animals, I am available most days and on short notice. I can stop by to feed your cats while you are on vacation and spend some time plating with them so they have company. Can take your dog out for walks when needed.
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.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs for over 10 years and have always loved caring for animals. I recently moved out of my parents’ home after losing my last childhood dog, and I’m not quite ready to have my own dog just yet. I’d love to spend that time caring for and loving other people’s pets! I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels and understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, give them lots of attention, and keep them comfortable in a home environment. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and will treat your pet like they are my own. I work three night shifts per week as a nurse, while my partner works weekday mornings and afternoons as an electrician. Because of our schedules, there are plenty of days and times when I’m available to give pets my full attention with his help. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. We have an unfenced lawn at home and live on a quiet dead-end road with safe walking areas around a lake, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. I’m also happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’m happy to take your dogs out on a leash for walks and exercise. Although we do not have a fenced-in yard, we have a lawn and I will always make sure pets are supervised and safely leashed when outside. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I would give my own. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or routine instructions to help your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Bea did a Awesome job with our Dog Daisy.....Daisy had a great time at the Bea residence. Bea sent pictures and updates through out Daisy's visit, which put us at ease. We highly recommend Bea!!!!!”


“Chikoo had a great time with Danielle and her family and was very well taken care of. She got along very well with their dog and enjoyed playing with everyone. Thanks Danielle!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. I have a Rottweiler of my own and two cats, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, strong dogs, and different personalities. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while they’re staying with me. I understand how stressful it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you know they’re safe, comfortable, and having a great time! I work remotely and pet care already fits naturally into my everyday routine since I have a dog of my own. I’m able to provide regular walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, feeding, medication management, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog will be treated like part of the family and included in our normal routine. I’m also happy to accommodate your dog’s usual schedule to help them feel as comfortable as possible! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience with large, strong breeds and understand the importance of supervision and proper introductions. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and sleeping routines as closely as possible. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates throughout their stay so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I also have about an acre of land to play on!

“Gregg was extremely accommodating even on short notice. Shared photo or video everyday and Ray seems to have not missed a beat after spending a week with Gregg. Would Recommend to anyone looking.”

About: I have taken care of at least two dogs growing up in my household. I am also accustom to any size dogs. Performed duties such as walking, feeding, bathing, and medications. I currently am enrolled in a fully remote undergraduate program so I’ll have plenty of time to walk, play, and care for your pets as I am home almost always. For my personal pets they are primarily indoor dogs but I do have a fenced in yard plenty of room to run and even social with my dogs or if you are comfortable with crating I can separate them as well.
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.
About: What sets me apart is my deep love and experience with huskies—I’ve proudly cared for three generations of my grandma’s huskies ( and if you know about them is that you NEED love in your heart and patience overall so I can proudly say I can take care of any dog with any necesity), each with their own quirks and needs. Since 2020, I’ve been actively training and dog-sitting, and over time, it’s become more than a job—it’s a passion. My friends even call me their “911” for dog walks and puppy emergencies! I’ve helped guide many first-time puppy parents with easy, effective care tips and routines. On any given day, I’m surrounded by a joyful pack of up to 10 dogs, and nothing makes me happier than sharing my energy, patience, and love with every pup I meet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work online, which gives me a super flexible schedule with free mornings and evenings. That means I’m able to adapt perfectly to your dog’s needs, whether it’s early walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles. Since I already care for a group of dogs daily, I’m used to creating a consistent, loving environment where every pup feels safe and happy. I love being active and outdoors, so spending quality time with dogs isn’t just doable—it’s the best part of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. In my home, I keep a clean, spacious, and dog-friendly environment where pups can play, rest, and feel right at home—especially those with high energy like huskies. I follow feeding schedules, keep water fresh, and make sure each dog gets individual attention, from walks to enrichment time. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care I give my own, sticking to their pet’s routines and preferences. I respect their space, keep communication open, and always leave things better than I found them. Whether it’s a puppy still learning or a senior dog that needs patience, I adapt and give them the love and structure they deserve.

My girls Georgia and Sadie just spent a long weekend with Donnie and seemed to have had a great time! Donnie was very accomodating - we reached out very last minute looking for someplace for them to stay. I received a message almost immediately after reaching out and we set up a meet-and-greet and then booked our stay before we left. During their stay, Donnie again was very quick to respond to my messages checking in on my girls... I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my girls were in good hands! Thank you Donnie!

Caty and her family were great with our little man Max. Our pup has so much anxiety that stays with anyone is sometime a bit stressful, but he was clearly at home. The updates and pictures, he looked very happy and we are grateful they took such good care of him while we were away. I would recommend Caty, especially if you have a dog who needs some extra love during your absence!

Alfredo loved hanging out with Jessica and her family, and cannot wait to go back for another stay! Jessica kept in close communication with delightful photos and videos. She handled situations that popped up with grace while keeping us informed. I felt so comfortable with him in her care

Gabriel have done an excellent job taking care of Leo when I needed his services. He usually let's me know about Leo's behavior and that make me feel comfortable knowing that he wants to know more about how to treat Leo. I am glad to have found Gabriel. He is someone I can trust when I need to leave Leo with s

Kat is a great doggo host. She is very knowledgeable about K9's and treated my pup like her own. She is very communicative, sends pictures while your pup is staying with her along with any updates on the shenanigans going on while staying with her. My dog assimilated well with her host pack and I would HIGHLY recommend her if you need daycare, training or boarding. Her energy is great & I enjoyed my time away knowing my dog was in EXCELLENT HANDS. Thanks again Kat!!!!!!!!

Richie did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my dog atlas. From the start, he was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared a lot about Atlas’s well-being. He kept me updated, followed all instructions, and made sure Atlas was happy, safe, and well cared for the entire time. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Atlas was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Richie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Methuen is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 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 3,802 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Methuen. About 90% of Methuen 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.
