“We thought we’d feel guilty leaving our dog behind for vacation, but knowing she was having the time of her life with Dawn and her family made all the difference! Their love and attention to her care were evident in every update, and we couldn’t get enough of the adorable photos and videos. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful family for her to stay!”

“Mariann has taken care of Willow twice now and Willow has done well and come home happy and healthy. This visit Willow got to play with Mariann's dog Coco, a little socialization is good for Willow!”
“Julie watched our dog Winnie for a week while we were in Ohio, and she was absolutely great. She was very personable, kept us updated the whole time on how Winnie was doing, and sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. I was a little worried because Winnie can be a lot to handle sometimes, but Julie did amazing with her and Winnie clearly loved her. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

“We have used Hugo & Julia several times and have always been satisfied with their care of our dog Beau. They send updates and pictures during his stay with them. They are excellent!”


“Our dog loved staying at Sean's house! He was great at communicating to set up the booking. He also sent adorable photos each day so we were able to enjoy our trip without worry.”

“Paul was great! This was our 1.5 yo doodles first boarding experience and she loved it. She ate great, slept great and had fun playing with the other dogs. We will use Paul again!”

“5 Stars! Ghost lives visiting his home away from home! He loves to visit Cesar and Michael and the whole family! I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful place to leave Ghost when I can't have him with me. The best!”

“François was absolutely fantastic. He went over our routine with Atlas and took Atlas for multiple long walks - Atlas was in heaven. François kept us up-to-date on their activities together and was easy to communicate with!”

“Hi. Hello. It’s me. Kona. Baby dog. CEO of this house while my humans are gone. I would like to speak about Loren. Because WOW. First of all: Loren showed up for me. Suspicious. Heroes do that. Loren knew my name immediately. I never told them. (Okay maybe my humans did, but still. Magic.) She understood my language. I signaled: *snout budging* She asked: “You need to go outside.” Correct. Genius. Scholar. She fed me EXACTLY when I was starving to death (which happens every 9 hours). She gave me food AND didn’t steal it AND didn’t rush me even when I dropped it on the floor on purpose to test her loyalty. Passed. She took me on a walk. Not a “quick” walk. A **sniff-every-tree-branch-like-it’s-a-mystery-novel** walk. She waited while I investigated the same bush for 4 straight minutes because something smelled like *crime*. She played with me. Not “throw ball once” play. Real play. The kind where I bring the toy back and she act surprised EVERY TIME. Excellent acting. Five stars. When I got tired, she noticed. I didn’t even have to dramatically collapse. She said, “Aww, nap time.” YES. FINALLY. SOMEONE WHO GETS ME. She respected my boundaries. Except when I needed exactly 17 belly rubs and then ONE MORE or I would simply pass away. She stayed. She protected the house with me. We heard a noise once. Probably the wind. But still. We were brave together. In conclusion: The Dog Sitter is ✨ The Best Human ✨ ✨ A Treat Giver ✨ ✨ A Walk Bringer ✨ ✨ My New Best Friend ✨ I will miss her. Unless she comes back. Which she should. Immediately. 10/10 Would allow to dog sit me again and share my toys (which is a BIG deal). End of report. BORK. - Kona 🐾”

“We love Lauren! She takes great care of our Bella!! She sends lots of photos and updates and does frequent walks. Bella always loves her stay and comes back happy and tired.”

“Aline was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout the entire time. We really appreciated all the photos she sent—they showed how happy and comfortable Coco was. She paid attention to every detail and made sure our baby was safe and happy the whole time. Coco had such a great time with her! I will definitely book Aline again in the future. Thank you so much, Aline!”

“Roxy had a great time with Jacquie’s pups and another one who was staying with her for the weekend. She clearly takes great care of them, getting outside a lot despite the snow and appreciating Roxy’s affectionate ways <3”

“Daniel and his dog Annie were a wonderful match for our dog, Tegan. He even arranged a meet-up beforehand so the dogs could get to know each other, which gave us peace of mind. During Tegan’s stay, Daniel sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Tegan usually takes a day or two to settle in and start eating when she’s in a new environment, but with Daniel and Annie she felt right at home from the start. We’ll definitely ask Daniel to watch Tegan again in the future!”


“CC took care of old gal Penny in her home for 6 days. We got updates in the morning and evenings with the cutest pics of our girl. She even picked her up and dropped her off! CC was amazing and very easy to coordinate with. Is kind and patient. Penny absolutely loved her! Looking forward to having her watch Penny again in a few weeks.”
“Jacqueline is very responsive and communicative and took excellent care of the pups. We got regular pictures and videos and could see Ollie and Neeva were happy under her care.”


About: I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbor since middle school. I’m always the one they rely on for pet care. I have a love for dogs since I grew up with them. I have experience dealing with senior dogs, as I had a senior dog of my own growing up. I believe this taught me a lot of patience, which is a great attribute to have even with younger pups. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I don’t start my job until June 22, so I have plenty of free time at home to take care of your babies! Until then I will just be hanging around my house and would love an animal to keep me company and busy! I don’t have pets in my college home yet but it is very pet friendly! There is also a huge field right behind my house perfect for playing
“Liliya and her family did a wonderful job boarding our dog Turk. He absolutely loves her and her family and we could rest easy on vacation knowing he was well cared for. Would highly recommend!”

“Lee was great !!! Always sent picture and video updates throughout his stay . My dog had a great time and I would definitely book Lee whenever I needed him !!! I highly recommend him !!”


“Anastasia is super flexible, generous, dog-lover, and a wonderful sitter for our 2 yr-old Finley. We had to make an unexpected trip out-of-state and I appreciate her response to my request within minutes. She even volunteered to pick him up early for us so we could take our time before heading to the airport. I felt very relaxed leaving Finley with her during our first go with Rover and will definitely call on her again in the future. Thanks, Anastasia!”

Northborough pet parents share their Rover experiences
Chelsea goes above and beyond with our Lumos. He loves staying with her and is well cared for and loved. We don't worry at all when we are on vacation and Lumos is with Chelsea. We love receiving photos of him every day. Highly recommend Chelsea (and her pup, Paisley!)

Melissa is wonderful! We liked her so much that we rebooked with her within a week of picking up our Charlie after a 3 week stay. Charlie had just been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, so we were a little reticent to leave him. Melissa was nothing short of a dog whisperer! She knew just what to do! She sent photos every day, which really put us at ease. Don’t hesitate to leave your fur baby with Melissa! She’s the best!!

Hannah is fantastic! Our dog is anxious around strangers and new dogs, and this was the first time using Rover. Hannah did a great job at easing our minds and sent us a lot of pictures of Loena enjoying herself. I highly recommend her and if needed we will bring Loena again to Hannah!
