“Carol and her family are lovely! They took such great care of Stevie. I got a lot of pictures, great communication, updates and was relieved that Stevie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Carol.”
“Michelle was awesome! She would constantly give us updates while she watched our dog Ginger with pictures and texts. Ginger was so happy while she was in Michelle’s care. We are so grateful she was able to watch her and 10/10 would do again! Thank you again Michelle! :D”
“I could not ask for a better dog sitter. Yesika is the best!!! Sends so many adorable photos every day and I can tell my dog Maya is so happy in her care. When I pick her up she always seems very happy and relaxed. My #1 choice for dog sitting in the Boston area :)”
“Luci did a great job with my little Kobe. She sent plenty of pictures and he looked like he had fun and played well with all of the other dogs. he was clean and cheerful when I picked him up. She also gave reports on his daily food intake and all the other little things we need to know about our fur babies.😊💩 Would definitely go again and highly recommend!”
“Jackie did a great job taking care after our dog Sonya. She proposed to meet before the stay to meet Sonya and make her feel more comfortable. Jackie has a fenced backyard, which was ideal for our 9 year old dog. Sonya had spine issues in the past, so she needs to be carried on the stairs and Jackie accommodated this request without any issues. We recommend Jackie's services to anyone!”
“Alex was amazing! Our friend couldn't take our 14yo poodle over the weekend due to a previous commitment, we had a conference to attend and time was running out. I found Rover.com and thought we'd see what it was all about. Thankfully the stars aligned and Alex's profile popped up as being close by and he was available. We scheduled a call to talk about Lucky. It was important to us to find the right fit for our 14 yo rescue. Once I read through Alex's reviews and talked to him, I knew he was definitely the perfect fit for us and Lucky. We set a visit so they could meet prior to our trip and Lucky immediately felt comfortable with Alex. Alex sent updates several times a day and a video of Lucky playing and going for a walk. He knew it was really me that was the nervous one ☺. Lucky had the time of his life, made a new friend and we definitely have Alex on speed dial now. Being able to find someone your dog immediately feels comfortable with takes a weight off your shoulders and knowing they're in good hands and having fun allowed us to attend our conference without worry. Thank you Alex - you rock!”
“Marie was great with Jerry while I was away for five days. She was super friendly and communicative, and I felt relaxed knowing Jerry was in good hands. She sent pictures throughout the stay (including one of her husband taking Jerry on a run — which I didn’t even know Jerry could do!). Pickup and dropoff were easy, and everything went smoothly. I really liked Marie and her family and would absolutely book with her again.”
“I couldn't be happier with the service provided. They communicated with me daily for an entire month, sending me pictures and videos of my dog meeting new friends and going on fun long walks! I could tell my Greyson was extremely happy and comfortable and well taken care of every day. They had him for his birthday and they even sang him happy birthday. They are an excellent family with lots of love for animals.”
“Carol was kind and communicative and did a wonderful job watching our pup Lexi over the holidays. She updated us multiple times a day with pictures, which we really appreciated! Will definitely be returning customers. Thanks, Carol!”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
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 during my days. I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. Even on busier days, I’m able to provide care before and after my errands and make sure pets stick to their normal routines. I am mostly always home working on my online class so there’s usually not a long duration of time I would be gone on errands. 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.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care and love that our dog Brady received during his stay with Peter and his family. We so appreciated the updates and photos, and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Brady was happy and safe. Highly recommend!”
About: Experienced doggy daycare attendant since 2024. Knowledgeable on dog body language, dog nutrition, administering medication and keeping dogs safe and happy! I have transportation and I am able to take care of your pet in your home or in mine! I currently work at a doggy daycare!! I am able to take your dog with me to play and have potty breaks when the daycare dogs are inside! (Unless they are already attending the daycare they will not be meeting or mixed in with the dogs that do attend) I have two cats who have their own floor of my house, they love doggy companions (if your dog prefers no cat interactions they won’t see them) I love taking long walks around quiet neighborhood, i’d love your dog to join me!
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and walking dogs of family and friends. I have also cared for puppies and animals with disabilities. I work from home and have the flexibility to make my own schedule on most weekdays. Afternoons are preferable for dog walking, though I can usually make accommodations for AM walks as well. I will mainly be offering dog walking services, so caring for the animals in my home will likely not be required. However, if a client needs at home care, I am willing to be flexible, depending on their preferences.
“Victoria is the best? she is someone who really cares about your dog and treats them as if they are hers. I received constant updates and pictures of how my little one was. He didn't want to come home..? that tells me alot.. I recommend Victoria and will definitely be using her again. Thank you Victoria, you have a client for life?”
“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Reading
This was our first time boarding our dog with Rebecca and it was such a positive experience! When we picked her up after her two nights stay, we could tell right away that she had been very well loved and cared for by Rebecca and her family. We really appreciated the photos she sent as well! It is such a relief to know we have someone we trust to take care of her when we go away.

There are 4,002 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in North Reading. About 90% of North Reading 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.
