“Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!”
About: My love for animals started at an early age. As a child, I constantly begged my parents for a dog. The rule was that we could only get one when every family member was old enough to help care for it. With my youngest sibling being six years younger, I had a bit of a wait – but we finally adopted our first dog when I was a teenager, and soon after, a second joined the family. That’s when my pet care journey truly began. Since then, I’ve adopted my own pets (currently have one six year-old DSH cat) and regularly help care for the pets of friends and family when they’re out of town or at work. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated with love, respect, and personalized care – just like one of my own. Whether your fur baby enjoys walks, playtime, snuggles, or simply prefers quiet company, I’ll make sure their unique needs and preferences are always honored. I work from home full-time, which allows me the flexibility to take walks and breaks throughout the day. I’m available Monday through Friday as well as some weekends. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss specific dates and times. I’m located near the beach, which makes for a great walking spot but I’m also happy to stroll through the neighborhood if your dog prefers a quieter route. I have a yard where we can play fetch or run around, though it is not fenced in. Inside, there’s plenty of space for your dog to explore and relax freely. If I need to step out briefly, I prefer to use a crate for their safety – if that’s something your pet is comfortable with. I also have a six year old DSH cat. He’s friendly, but tends to keep to himself when there are others in the house so he will likely stay in a separate room by choice.
“Julie was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup, and Julie sent multiple daily updates, and was so welcoming, caring and kind. I HIGHLY recommend Julie and we will be booking with her (and her wonderful dog Ellie) again.”
“Ruby was wonderful with our dog, Moose. We were able to leave town and not worry about him. She also sent us some great photos and videos of Moose playing with other dogs in her care. I highly recommend her!”
“Melissa was a fantastic sitter for our pup! It was his first time staying with someone other than family and we could not have picked a better person! Melissa was so easy going, kept us informed through out his stay, sent pics and videos and even took him on a hike! I felt like he was with someone I knew while he was with Melissa and Sunny! Highly recommend and look forward to more sleepovers for Charlie!”
“Cindi watched my dog Nora for 5 days !! Each night she would send me a detailed message about their day together , which always put my mind at ease . Nora came home happy and relaxed . I would highly recommend Cindi to anyone !!!”
“100% satisfied with Victoria couldn't ask for any one better to watch my dog. Ty is an 18 year old morkie who requires alot of care he is completely blind and wears a diaper and Victoria went above and beyond with my dog. I knew ty was in good hands with Victoria. I will definitely leave ty with Victoria if I ever need a dog sitter again. Thank you Victoria 😊 10 stars from me ❤️”
“Michele was the perfect sitter to watch our rescue dog while we were in town for an event. She took the time to introduce our dog to the space before meeting the other dogs, and was overall so understanding. Our normally shy dog cuddled right up and really enjoyed her time with Michele!”
About: I am familiar with small, medium, and large breeds. Dogs with behavioral issues, food aggression or dogs that require specific instructions. I worked at a kennel and doggie daycare in the past. I will always treat your pet as if they were mine! I am an early riser, I go to the gym and run before work. If you have a high energy dog, I am a good fit for you. I will make sure your pup is tired by the end of our visit. I will make sure your pet is safe by making sure there are no hazards and if we go for a walk I will keep your pet on a leash and protected against any threat. I have had many dogs off leash run up to myself and a clients dog and I always put myself in-between my clients dog and the others.
“Kayla was amazing! She helped me out when I was in a pinch and was available the day before I had to leave. Drop off and pick up was easy. I would definitely choose Kayla to watch my pup in the future! ❤️”
About: As a dog mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every dog like family with kindness, patience, and close attention to their safety and happiness. Hi, I’m Analee! I’m a huge animal lover and a pet parent myself to my dog, Nemo, and my cat, Stitch. 🐾 I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, so I’ll always treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and a friendly one year old Cavapoo named Nemo who loves other dogs. If your dog enjoys canine companionship, supervised playtime is always an option. I also have a friendly cat who is comfortable around dogs, but interactions will only happen if everyone is comfortable and it is appropriate. I closely supervise all pets, follow your care instructions, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and treated like part of the family while they’re with me.
“Awesome experience!! Was happy to meet for the meet and greet where all my questions were answered for the upcoming stay. Then throughout the entirety of the stay, it was all very professional! Would absolutely book again!”

Oh my gosh Melissa is the best! Our sweet pup gets very scared very easily and Melissa took care of him like he was her own! She sent us picture and video updates and our pup truly enjoyed his time with her! If you are in this area and need a dog sitter, Melissa is the right person for it! She was flexible with our drop off and pick up times and made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her!!
Mike and Kelly have taken great care of my wolfhound Annie, and she is not an easy dog. Huge fenced in backyard, and a 6 year old energetic dog Bubba to help run Annie around and burn off steam. She is so excited to get there and see Bubba. Kelly figured out why Annie wasn’’t eating well and rigged a raised tray table for food, which worked out well. Highly recommend them to care for your pup!

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 .
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.

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.
