About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for pets and a genuine love for animals. I grew up with cats and dogs, which taught me from a young age how to understand their different personalities, respect their boundaries, and provide them with patience, attention, and loving care. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I currently have a sweet, friendly 6-year-old Pomeranian who is a very important part of our family. In addition, I cared for a Golden Retriever for two years, giving me experience with a larger and more active dog. Through caring for my own pets and the pets in my family, I’m comfortable with everyday pet care such as feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. 🐶🐱❤️ I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can be flexible with scheduling depending on your pet’s needs. I’m able to give pets the companionship and attention they need throughout the day while maintaining their regular routines. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I live in a comfortable townhouse with a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for pets to enjoy fresh air and playtime. My home is conveniently located next to a Memorial Park, which provides a great nearby space for safe, enjoyable walks and outdoor time. Dogs can get fresh air, exercise, and plenty of opportunities to explore their surroundings without needing to travel far. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️
“Fantastic puppy sitter!! Jasper loves going to play at Carol's and comes home exhausted. I love knowing he's well looked after, happy, and safe. Great communication and pictures. Thank you so much!!”
“Courtney took amazing care of my puppy, Mocha! She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup with her and will definitely book again.”
“Carol responded to the call of duty right when I needed her! I recently had surgery this week and overestimated being up for the challenge of healing and watching my pup. I attempted to call local pet hotels, but because my puppy hadn’t been with them before it was impossible to get in at the last minute. Carol not only replied right after I messaged her (at 7 AM in the morning) but she even agreed to meet me somewhere that was closer to my home (due to me healing and not able to be in the car for long) to pick up the pup. I truly recommend Carol and she has been such a lifesaver! She sent me a picture and updates of my pup (he has never been around anyone but myself and my family and this made me feel very at ease) and there were other pups for him to hang out with! She has even been checking up with my pup and myself the day after and I will definitely be using her services again. Thanks Carol!”
“This was my first time on Rover and my yellow lab Gus had a great time with Rebeca and her family! She provided photo updates and was very friendly. They live on a nice neighborhood and have a great home for dogs to feel at home and play!! Thank you again. We will definitely be booking again with Rebeca”
“I hesitated writing a review because Rosemary was so great that I don't want to share her accolades with everyone because the she'll just get booked up. She took care of my dog like it was hers and my pup couldn't have been happier. It was a pleasure to have Rosemary watch my Mabel!”

“Jessica was very kind and considerate of Rocky ‘s needs. I absolutely felt so content knowing Rocky was in Jessica‘s care and will feel much at ease when she is watching Rocky for future dates. When Rocky was picked up, he looked like he was relaxed and had a fun time. I would highly recommend Jessica.”
“Marcia was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly kind and clearly loves animals. I received frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day, which really helped to ease my mind. I loved the videos watching my dog, Mylo, get to play with Marcia and Cosmo! My high-energy puppy came home happy and exhausted, which is the best compliment I can give considering Mylo’s energy level! I highly recommend Marcia to any pet owner looking for a loving and responsible sitter.”
“Belinda took great care of our dog Ollie and sent regular updates and pictures. Ollie is an anxious dog and he seemed very comfortable there. We would definitely have him stay with her again!”
“Thank you Hannah for taking such good care of Milly!! We gave Hannah detailed notes for Milly because she is a reactive dog and we’ve been working with a behaviorist to try to calm her anxieties and fears. She followed them and kept her happy and healthy!”
“Elizabeth and Neil made our anxious goldendoodle feel right at home! They were so great with him, gave him lots of love and attention, and communicated excellently with us, sending lots of great photos and videos throughout his stay.”
“This is our second time using Rover and it was such an awesome experience. We're looking for an in-home daycare and my puppy Houston had an absolute blast with Weihai, and the pups Igo and Kiwi. Houston can't wait to return - thank you!”
“Ying is so sweet to our pup and makes sure she has everything she needs throughout the day. We love receiving photos and updates and Ying is great with them. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Luci and her family were absolutely incredible for our pup! From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating. During her time with them, she was treated like family! Luci sent regular updates, including adorable pictures and videos, which made me feel so at ease. This was my first time leaving my pup alone and she was so happy every day she was there. I highly recommend!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Xiuping and her family. They are so kind and friendly. Very responsive and trustworthy as well. I got many cute pics and felt my dog was given a lot of attention and well cared for. I would definitely rebook next time.”
“Another great stretch of daycare days with Likun and EL! He races to her house every morning which tells me he loves going! I can go to work knowing he’s in good hands. Thank you again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Reading
Our pup, Sammy, appreciated the kind and gracious welcome from hosts Sahana and Raman -- and also little Cinnamon! The hosts communicated exceptionally well and have a perfect set up for pets. Our first visit was a doggie daycare meet and greet and we have confidence we will be able to do overnight boarding. We will definitely be rebooking!
Was on a trip to MA for the weekend. Very happy that I found Marcia to take care of my dog for the day while I was out. She provided a lot of pictures and updates without me having to ask. She went above and beyond! She took my dog out for multiple walks as well as letting my dog outside in her fenced in backyard all day. If I am back in MA again, definitely will be reaching out!
Kerrianne and her family were fantastic. Pippa had a great time with them. Our dog can be high a little energy and they had no problem with her. She had such a good time she didn't seem like she even wanted to leave. We will definitely be reaching out to Kerrianne again next time we need someone.
Brianna has taken such good care of Oliver at a really hard time for him. He is so happy to see her and her home is such warm and cozy for my dog. She communicates perfectly to let me relax after I drop him. You can tell Brianna really loves the dogs she cares for.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

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.
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.

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 .
