“Michael did such a great job taking care of our 2 energetic pups! He really enjoys what he does and has a great understanding of dogs and their temperaments! He was very accommodating with our schedule and very easy to do business with. We would definitely go back to him again and our dogs came home very happy!”
“Thank you Emily for making Sherlock feel at home!!! Sherlock was welcomed as part of their own family. Emily and all her family members made it very easy for him! He had a very comfortable stay! ❤️”
“Finn and Hadley loved their time with Luiz and his family. I felt very comfortable that my dogs were being cared for like they were at home. We would definitely recommend Luiz and we are looking forward to our next visit!”
“Kourtney was great with our pup, Carl. Carl is an energetic guy and Kourtney provided all that he needed in his 9 day stay. Kourtney’s communication with us before and during his stay was professional and timely. We would use Kourtney’s services again 💯.”
“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
“The pups loved their stay with Amanda and her family! They were clearly doted on and had a great time. We got updates throughout the stay and communication was easy & clear. Would definitely board with her again. Thank you!”
About: My love for exotic animals made me a zookeeper 20 years ago, but caring for pets and farm animals is my favorite. Happy to help you! I have a fully flexible schedule. I can be there for you during days, evenings, overnights, and weekends. I have a big sweet dog to keep your pets company in our home, or in yours. It’s OK if your pets would rather no outside furry friends though. I am happy to respect your preferences on crating/gating/free range, special diets/fresh cooking, walk schedule, basic obedience, snuggles, toys, and treats. Dogs of any size and breed, and pets and farm animals of any species will be well-loved in your absence. 💛
“Judy was an awesome host to our dog in her home. Our dog threw her some curveballs, as he can be a bit of a rascal, and she took everything in stride and was extremely patient with him. She kept us updated and gave us complete ease that she was taking excellent care, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Judy, we would love to have King stay again!”
“Josie loves dogs and took great care of our Pip. The family made Pip feel good about spending the weekend with them and seemed to love her, even forgiving her for getting food off the counter. 😬 we feel fortunate to have found them.”
“My two dogs enjoyed their stay with Rachael and her family. It is a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and her two dogs are great! Outside time, sofa time, just perfect. We'll be back!!”
“Jacky is literally THE BEST! Our 12-year-old goldendoodle stayed with Jacky for two weeks this spring while we were on an international trip. Jacky took such wonderful care of our dog – multiple walks a day in parks and wooded trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of hugs. We also received daily updates with photos, which made us feel comfortable and happy that our dog was doing so well. I’ve recommended Jacky to our friends and we will definitely be contacting her again!”
“My first time making any kind of booking with Rover, Melissa, Axel and family were an amazing family and treated Maverick with so much attention, love and care. Their home is very pet friendly with a nice big yard and backyard area. Melissa is very experienced with pets, will be making a future reservation again with them soon. Thank you again so much for taking care of Maverick!”
“Nicole provided excellent care for our 3 month old puppy. He had a wonderful day full of playtime and snuggles. She also provided lots of pictures throughout the day which we loved!”
“Jie is a superlative dog caretaker! She sent consistent updates with wonderful photos giving me reassurance that my elderly dog enjoyed a safe and fun stay. She willingly managed his medications and remained in excellent communication. Already re-booked, and will again!”
“I recommend her; she's very communicative and loving, and that's how she was with Tonka. She kept me updated throughout his stay, letting me know how Tonka was doing and sharing photos. I always knew how he was doing, and she always answered my messages.”
“Was very communicative and great with my dog. Took blue on multiple runs and hour long walks, which really helps her when she’s feeling anxious away from home. Would definitely recommend.”
“Jessica and her family were amazing caretakers for our 6 month-old Golden Retriever, Ollie! During his stay, Jessica sent me continual updates, photos and videos of Ollie enjoying walks, playing with her own dogs, watching Sunday football, and having the best time! I would highly recommend Jessica and look forward to Ollie staying with her again soon!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Phillipston home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Phillipston.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Phillipston sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
