“Laddie’s stay with Nicole could not have been a better first experience- for him, and for us. Nicole was incredibly flexible, understanding of our anxiety, and sent MANY fabulous photos and reassuring messages. She also put up with our neurotic requests! I suspect Laddie was reluctant to leave. He had a blast with her dog, AND her amazing cat😂. I”
About: My family has always had dogs, and I feel that they enhance the family unit. No discrimination against certain breeds. German Shepherd, Rottweiler, American Staffordshire, Boxer, makes no difference to me. I adore all the four-legged kids! I have my own four-legged kid, and truly appreciate the help I’ve received through Rover.com, while being at work or out of town. It’s such a relief to know that the he is taken care of, so I can continue working to provide for him. Updating you on the visit with pictures and/or videos, so you can see your four-legged kid(s) have been cared for, would be my pleasure. Dogs are family, and I would gladly treat yours as part of my pack. I would be happy to perform drop-in visits or walk your dog(s) during the day, or into the night hours, as my schedule allows. Currently, I am unavailable for midday drop-ins and walks Mondays through Thursdays. Updating you on the visit with pictures and/or videos, so you can see your four-legged kid(s) have been cared for, would be my pleasure. I happily treat your fur kids as lovingly as my own. Always checking that food and water bowls filled as needed. Utilizing the crate should they need it upon my leaving.
“Christian responded quickly to our initial request & because we had a long drive he agreed to accommodate a 2 hour drop off window (we texted updates). He was friendly at drop off, happily engaged the dogs, asked good questions about their needs & sent photos as requested. At pick-up he offered details about their stay. Both dogs were happy to see us but seemed to have enjoyed their night with Christian. Would book again”
“Noah and Sarah were wonderful! They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of Tahoe. I felt completely comfortable leaving him in their hands and would absolutely recommend them to other pet parents. I’d happily book with them again!”
“Krystal is great! We brought our mini cockapoo, Nella, over for a sleepover. Krystal sent us photos throughout the day and gave us notes about specific things she noticed. Nella can be a shy little pup, but Krystal’s dog Soju is a sweetheart and very gentle. Would definitely book again!”
“Irene is the best! She is very responsive and caring with our slightly neurotic dog. 🐶 He always comes home happy and calm. Irene has a great setup for playtime (fenced yard, screened porch).”
“Very attentive and informative on our pups first stay away from us. Casey must have loved his stay due to his slight hesitation on having to leave. He was already missing his new playmates! Would totally have him stay again if available!”
“Alexio was a wonderful overnight carer for our nervous 12 year old Yorkie. He asked pertinent questions about our dog so he could provide a comforting and familiar environment: he had good ideas about how to cope with peculiarities of our particular dog. Alexio took our dog out for plenty of walks, which he really enjoys, providing sufficient opportunities for relief; he also stuck to the medicine schedule ensuring that our dog's health was maintained. Alexio managed giving a variety of medications and eye drops, which can be tricky with an unfamiliar pet. We received plenty of photographs documenting how our dog was doing, which was comforting. When we picked up our dog he was calm and happy. We'll certainly ask Alexio to care for our dog in the future!”
“Rachel and her family took great care of my Peyton. She Peyton was clean happy when I picked her up. I will definitely trust Rachel again with the care of my dog.”
“We did a trial night with my dog. I knew immediately she was perfect for my special needs fur baby! She knew exactly how to care for him and I felt at ease. She went above and beyond with Boomer We have booked Boomer next stay . I highly recommend Davis .”
“Forough and Amir took wonderful and thoughtful care of our dog. They were also quick to respond to any questions and we appreciated their flexibility with timing.”
“Staying with Megan was awesome, as always! I know I can always trust her with my “baby boy!” He plays with her dogs and follows her around - just like he does with me. I know he loves it there and I am grateful he is in good hands with Miss Megan.”
“Karen and family were awesome with Alibi, our 15 months old Australian Shepherd. Lots of personal attention, and a great large fenced yard for the dogs to chase each other around. Karen’s whole family welcomed Alibi into their home and she really connected with their dog Lily. All in all, the stay was great and we will certainly be using Karen’s services again!”
“I only have great things to say about our experiences with Shawna! She's great at communicating - she was always quick to respond to qurstions and sent daily updates and pictures. She is also just a very nice person who immediately puts you at ease when leaving your pup in her care. She took great care of our guy and we will definitely use her again!”
About: I've had many different pets including dogs and cats! Experienced with different ages and needs including medications, behavioral, and sizes. Available for boarding, drop in, and walks I currently work mostly from home so I'm flexible for boarding and daytime visits. Love taking long walks and spending time at home with animals. Happy to take dogs on long walks and nature adventures with permission. I have cats and rabbits at home as well. I also have separate space for boarding or day care. Looking for consistent clients to build lasting relationships between me and your pet(s), as well as any last minute needs from new clients.
About: I have pet/house sat multiple times over the past several years for friends and family, and have worked with several types of animals from small critters like guinea pigs and ferrets, cats, and even large dog breeds. I also have 2 years experience volunteering for a local shelter in socialization and vet transport, 3 years experience working for a doggy daycare and boarding facility, and I currently work part time for another local animal shelter. I am an experienced owner of dogs, cats, ferrets, chickens, guinea pigs, and more. I also have experience as a wedding dog handler, and would be happy to offer this service if requested so your furry companion can accompany you or someone you know on yours or their special day without any added stress, please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in! I currently work part time so I have lots of time to play with your pup, and hopefully can build savings towards a larger space to meet more people's needs! I am always looking to learn, grow, and provide better care for animals. Animal welfare is very important to me. At this point in time, due to the space I'm only able to accommodate smaller breeds that generally can get along with others. I do have a small fenced in yard, but I also have the bike trail and nearby hiking trails readily available, your dog will need to be on leash at all times when outside on walks/hikes, I do not provide "off-leash" trail experience as a safety precaution, thank you for your understanding! I am happy to provide pictures and updates of your pup whenever requested, please never be afraid to reach out!
“Sofie took such good care of my little chihuahua! She sent me many updates and pics, and was very respectful of my home. She went out of her way to accomodate my early morning departure despite its inconvenience. I highly recommend her!”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Shelburne Falls can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Shelburne Falls 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 Shelburne Falls.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shelburne Falls. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

You and your Shelburne Falls 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
