“Ok, so Lola and I are quite picky. Lola has come home very happy over all the days that she has been over. She’s been walked, fed, and got to play with other dogs. I’m extremely happy with her care. :)”
About: I’ve raised three dogs from puppies to adulthood, so I have years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. Now, when my friends travel, they trust me to take care of their dogs at my home. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and happy, just like they would at home. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I am at home 24/7, so your dog will never be left alone. I has plenty of time to feed, walk, and care for each pet with love and attention. Our neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic, making it a safe and peaceful place for walks and play. Your dog will always have someone nearby for company and comfort. We provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I am always at home to supervise and care for the pets, ensuring they’re never left alone. We don’t use cages — dogs are free to roam, rest, or play as they wish. Our quiet neighborhood with low traffic offers a safe environment for walks. We keep a close eye on each pet’s well-being and behavior. Every pet is treated like family, with patience, love, and constant care.
“My puppy Blaze had a great time at doggy daycare. I loved that they’re knowledgeable and were able to make Blaze feel comfortable despite his separation anxiety. I’d recommend anyone here rather than a daycare facility.”
About: I grew up with various animals and volunteer at a shelter, gaining experience feeding, exercising, providing care, companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved. 🐾 I work freelance with flexible availability, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive pet care, including boardings, throughout the week and on weekends and holidays too! I have a large home with a fenced yard, next to the Freeman walking trail, providing pets plenty of fresh air, exercise, and outdoor time.
“Lucille is fantastic! She is very caring and kind. She is so easy work with and very accommodating. She took very good care of Kona and sent me pictures and updates through the stay. I am looking forward to having Kona stay with Lucille again soon! It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy and reliable to care for my beloved dog at times when I cannot.”
“Liz was fantastic! She accommodated a quick and easy meet and greet, as this was Malcolm’s first doggy daycare experience and he is a large breed dog. She was so knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors and put both of our minds at ease about Malcolm’s stay. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the day, and our big guy had a great time! We highly recommend Liz for your dog’s care.”
“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!”
“Great experience—very communicative and kept me updated with photos. It was clear my dog had an amazing time playing with her dogs, because he came home happily tired. I will book again!”
“This was my first time leaving my goldendoodle with Xiaofan. She was very welcoming and showed the backyard and indoors. Ozzy connected well with her retriever and had a good time. Xiaofan sent frequent updates and photos, which was great.”
“Kathryn is great. She took great care of my dog while I was at work. Sent me pictures and updates so that I knew how he was doing. Highly recommend. We did daycare with her and he loves being there and playing with her dogs and whoever else she is watching that day”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was a child—I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other pets, and I truly see them as family. I have two cats, Bleu and Theodore who are my absolute world, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention as I give my own. What sets me apart from other sitters is my natural connection with animals and my commitment to creating a safe, calm, and happy environment tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience with a wide range of animals, including high-energy puppies, shy or anxious pets, and senior dogs and cats who need extra TLC. I’m reliable, intuitive, and attentive to small details—whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, recognizing signs of stress, or making sure your pet gets their favorite toy before bedtime. I go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make your pet feel at home even when they’re not! Right now, pet care is my top priority—I’m not working another job, so I have full availability to dedicate to your pets. This means I’m flexible with scheduling, whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings. Because I’m not juggling other commitments, I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I’m here to make your life easier and your pet’s day happier—every single time! When caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to your routines to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just like you’re there. I keep things tidy, follow any feeding or medication schedules, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and love. If your pet is staying at my home, I ask that you bring their crate, leash, food, and anything else that helps them feel secure and settled (like their favorite toy or blanket). I’ll make sure they have a cozy, clean space, regular walks, and lots of affection throughout their stay. Whether we’re out for a walk or having a quiet day inside, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and care tailored to their personality and needs.
“Ralph is amazing with dogs. He took care of my dog in a pinch and very last minute and he not only was flexible but also very kind and loving to my dog. My dog took to him right away, dogs know dog lovers! His updates and pictures he shared of my dog throughout the day showed a happy puppy! My dog came home and just slept, he exercised so much with Ralph. I will definitely hire him again for doggy day care and boarding.”
About: Hello, My name is Linda, I am very much in love with all doggies! I am a proud owner of my fur baby Bernie who’s a bernedoodle mix and Mack who’s a golden doodle. They are the sweetest dogs I’ve ever had. We go for walks, and even go on certain vacations together. I would enjoy taking in your fur babies and treating them like my own. Bernie and Mack loves playtime with other doggies. I will love and care for yours as if he/she is my own. I have a single family home with a fenced in yard with other dog owners in the neighborhood. I currently work full time from home — I’ll still be able to bring them outside to play/potty, can still feed them at their scheduled times. I have a fenced in yard so they will be able to go and run outside to play with each other. I can also crate your dog if he/she needs a break.
About: Caring for animals has always been at the heart of my home and my life. I share my space with a senior dog and two cats, all of whom are treated as cherished family members. My dog is a rescue I welcomed at 2 years old—she initially struggled with anxiety and trust, but through patience, compassion, self-education, and consistent training, she has grown into an incredibly gentle and loving companion. I also opened my home to my older cat after she was abandoned and had the joy of raising her kitten, who is now my second cat. They are both calm, affectionate, and bring so much warmth into my home. Beyond my own pets, I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years. Since my teenage years, I’ve provided boarding and drop-in care for dogs and cats belonging to friends and family, as well as helping care for stray cats in my community. These experiences have shaped my approach to pet care—I am attentive, dependable, and committed to going above and beyond. From maintaining a safe, comforting environment to providing thoughtful, well-balanced meals, every detail matters. Each pet in my care is treated with the same kindness, respect, and dedication I give my own, because I truly believe they are family. 🦮🍽️ For Drop-Ins & Walks— I am Available Monday–Saturday from 7:00–10:30 AM and 8:00–9:00 PM. Some Thursdays/Saturdays + all Sundays are flexible based on your needs. ☀️🏡For Doggy Day Care— hours of care range from 6am-6pm including pick-up/drop-off time. 🌙🏠For Boarding (In-Home Care)— as a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and available 7 days a week for boarding. Feedings can be provided 2–4 times daily depending on your pet’s routine. Walks + playtime typically take place between 7:00–10:00 AM, with additional engagement throughout the day. Dogs are let out every 3–4 hours for bathroom breaks to ensure comfort and consistency. I’m happy to adjust routines to match your pet’s specific needs and schedule. Your pet(s) safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, welcoming home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a quiet, dog-friendly neighbourhood perfect for walks. Do you have a dog that isn’t so keen on canine companionship? Not to worry! We provide a split yard, and my dog is good at respecting boundaries if another dog isn’t interested in interactions. This is a kennel-free home, however we do have a kennel indoor if that is a part of your pet(s) safety routine. Other than that I provide a dog bed or if your dog is a snuggler, they are welcome to sleep on the bed with me. My senior dog is gentle and playful, offering a calm companionship to your fur baby. My cats keep to themselves and if needed, I can always separate pets who aren’t comfortable with one another. I have a separate litter box for your cat(s) to use that is kept in another area of the home to prevent any territory conflict. Overall, I create a structured, supervised environment where every pet feels safe, relaxed, and right at home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Chelmsford
Initially before my Scottie Dog’s daycare, we did a “Meet and Greet”, which gave Jack an opportunity to interact with Kavita’s dog, Toby. Toby was very welcoming to another dog to share his spacious fenced in backyard. The next day, I dropped off Jack, who was eager to meet his new dog friend, Toby. During the day, Kavita sent me a photo, and video of Jack’s outside activity. It was very reassuring to know that my pet was doing just fine interacting with the other dogs.

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 North Chelmsford 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 2,822 sitters in North Chelmsford, 85% 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.
