“My dog, Calvin, was well cared for and seemed happy when I picked him up. Yingying provided several updates and videos and was responsive when I reached out well taking care of my dog which I appreciated.”

“This was my first time leaving Eddie with a sitter. Eddie is a shy and anxious dog. Jo took great care of him. Will definitely be taking Eddie to Jo on my next trip!”

“This was Leo’s second stay , and we were very happy. Angelina was sending us pictures , Leo was in good hands while we were overseas. We will definitely consider her services for future again.”

“We boarded our chocolate lab, Finn, with Kavita for 10 days while we were traveling, and we couldn't have been happier. Kavita sent us photos of Finn every single day, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and having a good time. Finn loved hanging out with Kavita's dog, Toby. Leaving your dog for that long is never easy, but Kavita made it stress-free. We're so grateful for the attentive care she gave Finn and would happily board with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Philip did a great job watching my dog Tucker. He provided updates and pictures, and read and followed my instructions about his care which made me feel comfortable while away. I’d recommend him!”

“This is my 2nd time boarding my dog with Alyssa. Alyssa and Carleena took amazing care of her while she was in heat, providing plenty attention and play time with females and neutered males in a controlled environment. It's a comfort knowing my dog is in such good hands at Alyssa's!”

“We feel so incredibly lucky to have found this wonderful dog sitter. Our dog is very anxious and has never stayed with anyone over night except for family. Rebecca let us visit twice before leaving Archie overnight so that he was able to meet not only Rebecca, but her husband and two children as well. This made all the difference for his and our comfort level! From the moment we connected, Rebecca and her family made us feel completely at ease leaving our dog in their care. Their home is warm, welcoming, and truly feels like a second home for pets. They treated our dog, Archie, like one of their own — with so much love, patience, and attention. We received thoughtful updates and photos daily that showed how happy and comfortable our dog was, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. What really sets Rebecca apart is how genuinely invested she is in the well-being of the dogs she cares for. She and her family paid attention to routines, personality quirks, and little details that made all the difference. It’s clear this isn’t just a service to them — it’s something they truly enjoy and take pride in. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and that says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with them again and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for loving, responsible, and exceptional care. Five stars isn’t enough — they’re absolutely amazing!”

“Donnie is the absolute best! Our dog is quite anxious and nervous around new people/dogs and environments, and Donnie knew exactly how to help him feel safe and confident, encouraging him to try new things while always respecting his timing and needs. By the end of his stay our dog was having so much fun, playing with other dogs and loving his time with Donnie. We 100% recommend!!”


“Ruth was absolutely wonderful and very flexible! She and Roxy welcomed Pablo and made him comfortable and happy from the moment one. I was comfortable knowing that my senior pup is in loving and experienced hands. He had a great time socializing, walking and enjoying Ruth's backyard. Thank you so much!!”

“Vanessa was great! She treated my girls like they were her own, which is exactly what I was looking for in a sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing with plenty of pictures. My girls were treated to many walks, plenty of play time, and cuddles. I’m so relieved to have found Vanessa!”

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, a professional biologist with a lifelong passion for animals. My love for all creatures began in childhood and grew even stronger during my many years as a Scout, where I learned to observe and respect nature with a careful and attentive eye. For me, being outdoors and connecting with the environment is essential. I’ve always shared my life with pets, including both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy the company of all kinds of animals. By combining my technical background in biology with the hands-on experience of a long-time pet owner, I provide dedicated, responsible, and heartfelt care for your furry friends! Profile Highlights: Background: Biologist Experience: Years of experience living with and caring for dogs and cats. Specialty: Former Scout with a deep-rooted connection to nature. Approach: Attentive, observant, and passionate about all species. Hi! I’m Jessica, a biologist and lifelong animal lover. Currently, I am a stay-at-home mom, which gives me great flexibility and full availability to visit and care for your pet in the environment where they feel safest: their own home. Since I am available throughout the day, especially while my children are at school, I can offer calm, unhurried visits tailored to your pet's needs. My priority is to maintain your pet's routine, providing companionship, feeding, and plenty of love—particularly for cats, which are my absolute favorite! You can have peace of mind knowing that a dedicated professional with a biologist’s attentive eye is looking after your furry friend with all the care they deserve. I believe that every animal is unique, which is why my approach is centered on patience and observation. As a biologist, I understand that each pet has its own pace for adapting and building trust. I always respect their boundaries, offering affection and interaction at a speed that makes them feel comfortable and safe. Beyond your pet's well-being, I am fully committed to your home's integrity. I provide care with great love and strictly follow all the rules and guidelines you establish. Whether it’s feeding schedules, specific instructions, or home etiquette, you can rest assured that both your pet and your home are in responsible, professional, and deeply caring hands.
About: I am a dog lover who has dogs my whole adult life. I have many friends and neighbors with dogs of all sizes that I have spent time with and babysat as needed! I am an elementary teacher with availability on weekends and during the summer I have much greater daily availability. I have a 5 year old friendly and submissive lab mix. My dog likes to play at times, but at other times wants to have her space. Our house is like a home away from home for visiting pets!! I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly 5 year old lab mix who is always looking to meet and welcome new friends. I am an avid walker and used to walking 2 dogs at time.
“Lindsey was very caring & loving to Sophie. Sophie must have felt comfortable with Lindsey, because she had a great appetite! We had news and photos sent to us, which made us feel comfortable being away from our pup! We would definitely recommend Lindsey as your pet’s caretaker!!”

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.
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Likun—she is truly the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment Chewy arrived, he was showered with so much love, attention, and care. 🐾💛 She spent tons of time playing with him and made sure he was always happy and engaged. Her large backyard was an absolute dream—plenty of space for Chewy to run around, explore, and have the time of his life! It honestly felt like a mini vacation for him. What really stood out was the 1-on-1 attention she gave him. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and Chewy absolutely adored her. I picked him up relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and full of love for your pup, Likun is it. We will definitely be booking with her again—Chewy can’t wait to go back!”

“Ashton was great! Our dog Jack doesn't spend much time with other people and Ashton was very accommodating when our previous sitter (not from rover.com) canceled a week before the appointment. We received pictures and updates throughout the visit, communication was excellent! Thanks again, we look forward to meeting again when the need arises!!”

“My dog Miko seems to have enjoyed his stay at Sara's place. He came back all relaxed, complete opposite experience of leaving him in a pet hotel where he came back agitated for many days. Sara's place is perfect with a big fenced garden so he could play freely with her dog and others. I can only recommend her.”

“Robert and his family took the exceptional care of our pups for 10 days. They were so welcoming and very communicative throughout the stay. I would highly recommend them and will definitely book again for future stays.”

“Dolev was great with Mocha. Mocha was a little anxious when I left her (normal for her) but she settled in beautifully. I got a lot of pictures of Mocha having fun and playing with Dolev and the smaller humans :). I felt relieved that Mocha was getting a ton of attention and Dolev was great about communicating back with us. I'll definitely book with her again!”

Biscuit had a good dog vacation with Avery, he likes her a lot and made new friends with her puppy! Avery is very reliable, punctual, and attentive to Biscuit’s needs. The photo and video updates during the visit were fantastic and gave me a peace of mind, highly recommend Avery to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter, we will come back again if needed!

Annabella took amazingly great care of my best girl Carley. I will recommend Annabella for any fur baby owner to use as a sitter. My Carley has anxiety over being separated from her family. Annabella over achieved with my girl. I have had adverse reactions with previous boarding at some facilities. My Carley was taken extremely good care of and did not want to leave her care. I will definitely use Anabella again if she is available. Completely recommend!
We boarded our chocolate lab, Finn, with Kavita for 10 days while we were traveling, and we couldn't have been happier. Kavita sent us photos of Finn every single day, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and having a good time. Finn loved hanging out with Kavita's dog, Toby. Leaving your dog for that long is never easy, but Kavita made it stress-free. We're so grateful for the attentive care she gave Finn and would happily board with her again. Highly recommend!

AMAZING experience for (me and) my dog Milo!! Kelly and her family, including her sweet dog, Mickey, were welcoming, accommodating, loving and gentle throughout my dog's stay at their house. From the meet up to pick up, they had nothing but love and patience for my shy rescue. He quickly settled in. The pictures, videos, and reports she updated me with over 10 days show him happy, relaxed and thriving. Her home and back yard are lovely and safe for dogs to run around and be themselves. A wonderful experience for Milo and a great comfort for me while I had to be away from him. Highly recommend!!!! 🐾

Ashley was awesome and we loved her. Her communication was fast as it was a last minute reservation. She understood our dogs need and behaviour instantly. She really took very good care of our fur baby. He was very happy and had a great time with Ashley and her dog. We and our fur baby is very happy with Ashley and how she cared for our dog. We would certainly go back to her.
Stella had an awesome time at Elizabeth’s! Had a ball with Liz’s Charlie and enjoyed lots of yard playtime and some in house playtime too :). Elizabeth shared pictures of Stella throughout the visit. Stella would definitely love to go back. Elizabeth was great to work with and very conscientious of Stella’s gastro issues history. Thank you Liz, Charlie and family!

Tyson had a wonderful time with tom and his family. He well well cared for and well loved. We were happy they had a fenced in yard for him to run around. Tyson is high energy, but just as cuddly at the end of the day. We had never left him with a sitter before. He was a rescue and we were nervous about how he would do. Tom Is definitely a dog lover and truly took great care. he sent us pictures and videos to keep us informed. We will definitely use Tom again.

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 North Chelmsford 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 North Chelmsford 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 North Chelmsford.
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.
You and your North Chelmsford 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 , 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 .
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.
