Top rated Northborough dog sitters

“Rebecka is the best with my little one. She is very knowledgeable about puppies and gives very good, detailed feedback. I wouldn't hesitate to book her! She is very accommodating with her schedule as well!”


“Ruben was great!! He was on time, very nice, and took good care of my two dogs. This was my first time having a stranger walk my dog who is very reactive and I felt comfortable after meeting Ruben that he was very knowledgeable and could handle it. I would definitely book with him again!”


“I have 2 dogs, one is a very fearful dog so he is hard to handle. Ben did a fantastic job. He was able to get them both outside for their potty breaks, something I wasnt sure he could do. He sent daily updates and photos. Its nice to go away and know even my difficult pup is well cared for.”


“10/10 recommend! Thank you for all your help Chris!”



“Nancy was an absolute pleasure. I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of my dog and cat again moving forward and will recommend her to anyone who is in need of her services. She sent me daily updates and pictures of my guys. It was really nice knowing that they were in good hands while I was away. Thanks again, Nancy!”


“Caitlyn took such good care of my elderly cat for a week while I was away. Her daily detailed updates made me feel so much better being away from my little guy. I will definitely call Caitlyn again in the future, and highly recommend her!”


“My cat is high maintenance and a bit of a pain. Cam was incredibly patient and clever in terms of getting my cat his medicine. After a few days the cat finally trusted him to deliver the meds orally. Cam was great throughout the process. 5/5 Would recommend!”


“Jessica was an excellent sitter to our dog. She was very devoted and attentive. Very concerned about Trista, and gave her some extra time. I would highly recommend Jessica and use her again.”


“Sara cared for our two year old Maine Coon every day for over 2 weeks. She was so thoughtful and attentive and easily developed a special relationship with our cat, who has never been left alone before. The daily pictures and reports put our mind at ease. The Rover app was helpful when we were overseas. We could not have gone away without Sara!”


“Emily does a great job with Alfie! This is her second time watching him and she is always prompt in sending updates on how he is doing and making sure he is fed and his litter box is clean. He needs some extra vitamins added to his food as he is older and prone to getting nasal congestion and she has always added them in. It is great to come home to a happy healthy pet and it gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing someone is checking in on him.”


“Lauren was fantastic! She provided thorough reports of her drop-in visits to me along with pictures. For various reasons, I would say her engagement and work far exceeded my expectations. I would 100% book her again in the future when the need arises. I cannot recommend her enough.”


“Alyssa was so great with my 12 week old puppy! Always sending me photos and updates. I feel very comfortable leaving my puppy with her and would recommend her to everyone!”


About: I worked at a pet lodge for awhile, taking care of all the dogs who ranged from little to very large dogs and also cats. My work there was to clean up after the dogs and take them out to use the restroom four times a day. I am diligent and a great listener, and will do whatever it takes to make the customer happy. I am always on time and in the appropriate attire for working professionally. I am such an animal lover, whether it be dogs or cats. My family used to have a morkie, which was a Maltese and a Yorkie mix, she was precious but sadly ran away. I look forward to hopefully taking care of your lovely pet! Thank you.

About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was little. I have a bachelors degree in animal science, and I’ve worked as a vet tech in an animal hospital. I have experience with administering medications, and I have been volunteering as a lead volunteer at a rabbit rescue for the past 5 years, so I am experienced with small animals as well! I’m available for dog walking in the afternoons and drop in visits to your home to care for your pets. Pets include: dogs, cats, and small animals. I pride myself in creating a safe space for all animals. If your pet is shy, or reactive, no worries! I currently have a dog who is very timid and shy of other people and dogs, so I am used to handling dogs who do not fit the “standard” behaviors dogs exhibit.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs for a long time, I had a dog when I was growing up, who I walked a lot and played with every day. When he got older, I drove him to his cancer treatments at a specialist vet, and to his radiation treatments. Most of my friends growing up also had pets that I played with and saw regularly, and I've house-sat and pet-sit for several of my friends and neighbors. I have a lot of time to dedicate to caring for pets! I am currently in between jobs in my career and have plenty of time to look after other's pets! I have a pet-friendly apartment with a space for dogs to run around, and a huge field next to my apartment which is perfect for playing fetch. I also love going on hikes and being outside, which is ideal for dogs that need walking. At home, I regularly play with my cat and feed her on a schedule that she is familiar with!


“Melissa is fantastic. Kai is not only a brand new puppy, so has his pup difficulties, but it also deaf-she immediately accommodates to his specific needs and was the most patient with his puppy accidents and terrors. She goes above and beyond to handle any situation she may walk into when stepping into our home and is vigilant about sending pictures and updates that all of our worried pup parents desperately need while leaving him for work. The most important thing for me (and anyone) is truly trusting a person who is not only going to come handle your 8 week old pup for you, but enter your home on their free will and Melissa instilled that trust from the first day. Thanks for an awesome experience thus far and looking forward to our little Kai spending even more time and growing with your help!”


About: I have 2 dogs of my own who I help my mom take care of all the time. I also have 3 cats. I have always loved and cared deeply for animals. Dogs are the best, I love seeing dogs and cats! I work part-time at the moment, and I’m looking for something I can do on the side. I love animals so I thought pet sitting and walking would be an amazing fit for myself. I love spending time with my animals and playing catch with them or snuggling. My mom goes on long walks with our dogs and I like to join her a lot of the time. I am very good with animals and know how to care for them

“Jayla was great! Was so so helpful when our dog was sick and couldn’t get to him. She stayed with him until she was confident that he was feeling better!”


“Hannah was wonderful! This was my first time using rover, and everything about Hannah exceeded my expectations! She was timely, thorough and provided detailed notes about how my cats were doing while I was away. I was able to really relax and enjoy my time knowing Hannah was caring for my babies. Thank you Hannah!”

Isabelle M.
“Isabelle is a no nonsense girl yet with a tender heart. She has a strong work ethic. She loves animals to put it simply. She has no fear of their behavior, messes, surprises. She has experience working with cats and dogs at a local kennel. She excelled there but due to COVID they cut back. Her confidence will make any pet feel safe, and at ease. She’s an asset worthy of serious consideration. Thankyou”
