“This was my first time on Rover and my yellow lab Gus had a great time with Rebeca and her family! She provided photo updates and was very friendly. They live on a nice neighborhood and have a great home for dogs to feel at home and play!! Thank you again. We will definitely be booking again with Rebeca”
“Courtney took amazing care of my puppy, Mocha! She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup with her and will definitely book again.”
About: I am taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old when I got my first dog, I worked with an NGO as I grew to help with rescues. I have been around dogs all my life basically. When I moved countries I decided to expand my family and we got Blu :) (my husky) I treat all fur babies as part of my family, and make sure the pet feels safe and loved. Be ready to get alot of pics and videos of your fur baby when you leave them with me I work from home, its me and my husky while kids and husband are out most of the day :) We go out for walks, we have a small dog park sometimes we go there as well. I take Blu 3 times for her walk as she enjoys it and I get to complete my steps I live in an apartment (1500 Sq Ft) no fenced yard but we have well maintained society where I take them out for walk, we also have a small park for them to run and burn energy. We enjoy a good company !
“Belinda was amazing with Juno and helped out while I was at work for a work trip! Juno had a great time and it was amazing knowing Juno was in great care! Thank you so much!”
“Rebekka and Thomas have watched my cat twice and dog once. My first experience with her was when my boyfriend and I went on a two week road trip with our dog (Mia), but we didn't want the hassle of bringing a litter box from place to place. It was our first time leaving my cat (Alfie) with someone other than family. Alfie had a blast at their place. Rebekka kept us up to date on his activities with pictures every other day. He spent time with them in the yard and they even took him for walks! Alfie isn't the nicest (he tends to scratch and bite sometimes) but Rebekka rolled with all of his strange behaviors. My second experience with her was just as wonderful. Both Alfie and Mia spent the day with her for "doggy" day care. My boyfriend and I decided to take a day trip to Mackinac City to see some friends who came in from out of state and it was a little late notice (about 2 days notice). Rebekka and Thomas were very accommodating to our early drop off time (6:30 am) and late pick up time (10:30 pm). Mia has severe anxiety around new people so we were worried about how she would react, which is why we brought Alfie as well. They were very kind with the prices, one animal for their regular price and the other animal for only 5 dollars. Mia did considerably better with them than I anticipated. We brought her crate so she would have a safe space and Thomas told me she spent most of the time on their bed with Alfie. She would only go in her crate if he came too close. Considering the last time she spent a doggy day care with someone else on Rover and she didn't come out of her crate once, I would say this is a great improvement and that she feels comfortable around Rebekka and Thomas. I would recommend anyone and everyone to have their fur-babies watched by Rebekka and Thomas.”
“Jessica was very kind and considerate of Rocky ‘s needs. I absolutely felt so content knowing Rocky was in Jessica‘s care and will feel much at ease when she is watching Rocky for future dates. When Rocky was picked up, he looked like he was relaxed and had a fun time. I would highly recommend Jessica.”
“Carol has been great with our dog - a 9 yo rescue who has a lot of trust and anxiety issues. She takes great care of Izzy, takes her on adventures and has great facilities to keep the dogs safe in her fenced in backyard. Appreciate knowing that Izzy will have a good time every day and that she comes home exhausted each day. A tired dog is a good dog. :)”
About: We believe in caring for dogs’ emotional needs as much as their physical ones. That means lots of attention, playtime, and a calm, structured environment. We host one guest dog at a time (or a bonded pair) to ensure each pup receives personalized care and feels at home. With work-from-home adults and a large fenced backyard, your dog will have plenty of human interaction, room to roam, and time to relax indoors with our friendly labradoodle, Penny. We also enjoy taking 1–2 walks a day (sometimes more!) and welcome visiting dogs to join if they'd like — though we understand some prefer to stay home and chill. We've raised two doodle puppies ourselves and are happy to care for your puppy too! We work from home and rarely have commitments that take us out for more than a few hours. Penny keeps us on a healthy routine, and we truly enjoy how dogs get us outside and moving — it’s good for everyone! We have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of squirrels, chipmunks, and bunnies to keep things interesting! Visiting dogs can play outside with our labradoodle, Penny, or lounge comfortably indoors. They’re welcome on the couch or can relax on a dog bed nearby while we work. We keep things low-key and structured, with lots of attention and calm energy throughout the day. We also take time to reassure visiting dogs that their parent(s) will be back soon — and that this is a fun place to explore in the meantime! We give each pup a tour of the house when they arrive, showing them where they can go and helping them settle in. It’s part of how we help them feel safe and at home right from the start.
About: I’ve taken care of pets, my own or others ever since I’ve was in kindergarten. I am an ordained Animal Chaplain. I have studied animal behavior and animal ethics. I can bring peace to your animals that are missing you while you are away. I work part-time so I’m happy to take care of animals as they fit into my flexible work schedule. I am available on weekends also. I have a fully fenced backyard to let out dogs. I am familiar with crate training and I’m able to crate dogs if needed. I can walk dogs and help them to feel at peace and ease while they are away from their owner, or their owner is away from them.
“Another great stretch of daycare days with Likun and EL! He races to her house every morning which tells me he loves going! I can go to work knowing he’s in good hands. Thank you again!”
“Ying is so sweet to our pup and makes sure she has everything she needs throughout the day. We love receiving photos and updates and Ying is great with them. We will definitely be booking again!”
“I hesitated writing a review because Rosemary was so great that I don't want to share her accolades with everyone because the she'll just get booked up. She took care of my dog like it was hers and my pup couldn't have been happier. It was a pleasure to have Rosemary watch my Mabel!”
About: Hi, I’m Xinyue, I’m part-time a dog treats baker! I bake fresh dog cookie and cake from scratch. May dream is to open a dog treats store. I have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever. I walk him twice a day and have trained him to sit, lie down, stay, fetch the ball, come back, and follow several other commands. He is well-trained. I also bake fresh homemade dog treats for him. If your pet stays with us, I will treat them like family too! Weihai works from home all day, he will be home with dogs all the time, Xinyue that’s me I usually walk the dog in the morning and play with him in the yard after I get home. I have shorter work hours during the summer, so I’ll be home often to take care of them. I’m also usually available on weekends and love taking dogs on hikes, to the park, or to the beach. We have a fenced yard and a 4-year-Golden Retriever named Igo, who is super friendly with both dogs and people. There’s also a dog door that leads to the yard. If your dog stays with Igo and us, they’ll be welcome to cuddle on the couch or relax in the yard—whatever they prefer! But I’ll never leave the dog along in the yard.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for quite a while and have cared for many different kinds of dogs with a wide range of needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including safely distributing and administering different types of medications as part of their daily routines. I’m also working toward becoming a nurse, which reflects how much I genuinely love caring for others, both people and pets. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and attentive, and I bring that same level of compassion and responsibility to every dog I care for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I have a very open and flexible schedule. I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., which allows me to plan my days around pet care needs. On days I don’t have class, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. Even on class days, I’m able to provide care before and after class and make sure pets stick to their normal routines. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and any specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care guidelines closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and house rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets in safe areas, and maintain a calm, clean environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly space with close supervision, plenty of attention, and a comfortable area to rest and play. I’m careful about monitoring behavior, limiting exposure to hazards, and adjusting care based on age, energy level, or health needs. I also believe communication is extremely crucial, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and confident that their pets are well cared for.
“Marcia was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly kind and clearly loves animals. I received frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day, which really helped to ease my mind. I loved the videos watching my dog, Mylo, get to play with Marcia and Cosmo! My high-energy puppy came home happy and exhausted, which is the best compliment I can give considering Mylo’s energy level! I highly recommend Marcia to any pet owner looking for a loving and responsible sitter.”
“Elizabeth and Neil have been great with my dog Teddy. They have a great home and fenced-in back yard for Teddy to play in. I can tell that Teddy loves them and in comfortable with them. From my first meeting with Elizabeth and Neil, I knew that their Doggy Day Care was going to work out well for Teddy and me. They are very responsive to my texts and answered all of my questions with kindness. Teddy and I look forward to seeing them next week! Glenn”
“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.”
“Very professional and when I went to pix up my Enzo 3 months old Yorkie toys he showed happiness. I trust her at 100% .. before I had a very bad expensive with another doggy day care .. I am lucky we have Samantha .. thanks again , see you soon”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Reading
Katelyn and her family are like Bloo’s second family now. She feels right at home and certainly makes herself right at home too. :) She runs right into the house any time we arrive, so we know she loves it there. That and all the wonderful adorable pics Katelyn sends us of Bloo having the best time walking, laying in the sun and of course snoozing like puppies do. See also super flexible and understanding and accommodating when our work changes our shift last minute and we have to change drop off or pick up time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable, flexible and loving sitter for your pup!

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 Reading 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 2,870 sitters in North Reading, 86% 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.
