“Really appreciated how Mary went above and beyond while dog sitting our greyhound Sally. It was our first time leaving Sally (only have had her for four months) and there were no issues at all. Thanks!”

“We are truly grateful for Cathy’s loving care of our baby, PJ. We love him dearly and are thrilled that we have found someone who can take care of him and love him as a member of their family. The daily photos and updates eased our worries.”

“Nicole was amazing! We found ourselves in need of a last minute pet sitter for our dog and we found Nicole and are glad we did. She took great care of our dog while we were away and updated us with cute pictures and reports.”

About: Hi, my name is Asia. I am an animal owner, caretaker, enthusiast, and most importantly LOVER! I have been in the pet industry for quite some time now, and along my journey have picked up many skills in pet caretaking and handling. I have knowledge in areas of medicine, handling, care taking, walking, and FUN! Through my journey, I have worked as a veterinary technician for about five years, and after the pandemic, with time realized that I wanted to see more happy animals than hurt. Although it is an indescribable reward to see and help our beloved pets heal, it is a heavy toll to bare that I have recognized is not what I wanted to continue growing a career in. Instead, I have decided to venture into an entrepreneurial life, with hopes of opening up my own pet spa and hotel, to care and treat your furry angels, while you and the family are away. My goal is to expand my expertise, and use this platform to build up a steady clientele list to transfer over to my future establishment *manifesting!*. I have a strong love and passion for all animals of all species and sizes. I have 10 years of hands on animal experience. I attended Worcester Tech for high school, and graduated with an AVA through the veterinary assisting program. I then got hired by my co-opportunity job site through high school, and continued to work there as I was being trained in veterinary technician schools. I then moved to Colorado, for a few months, and worked as a veterinary technician at an emergency/GP for eight months, being trained in more and more technical skills. I now try and take continuing education courses, and educate myself on the veterinary world as well as zoology, to try and work around my extenuating circumstances currently prohibiting me from school. I am knowledgeable of the different diseases your furry friends may have, as well as how to properly manage and care for them. I get my work schedules a month in advance and try to be as flexible as possible so don’t hesitate to reach with any questions. I believe I can be the perfect fit as a caregiver to all of your furry legged friends, due to my experience, passion, and a positive attitude. Any questions that you have, feel free to ask, and I'm excited to work with you and beloved pet(s). When your pets are in my care, they will be closely monitored with care. We’ll get to know each, spend time together, go slow if we have to, and overall get acclimated to one another to create an overall stress free experience for everyone, during the times we are together I am pretty flexible, however the sooner the better. Most of the time, I am able to adjust my schedule to align with my bookings. First come, first serve. I will keep a close eye and watch on your furry loved ones at all times. I pay close attention to behavior and body language during all visits, as those are key take aways
“Victoria was a fantastic host. Her house is clean and has a nice fenced in back yard for the dogs to play freely. She has two very friendly dogs which was a huge plus since ours loves to play. Will certainly look to book with her again!”

“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.”

“Outstanding experience with Pat. I had her stay at the house and watch the dog. It is the first time I’ve done that. It was a game changer. In no small part due to the care and precaution Pat took. She came by in advance to get to know my dog and how the house worked. She asked all the right detailed questions. Things I hadn’t thought of! And then at time of transition, she ran through and tested that everything worked as she thought. Pat kept me informed both days. Made me aware of anything of concern. Inn this case GI distress on one of his walks which is not uncommon for Marvel on first day of someone new. But I sure was pleased she let me know and she let me know that it cleared by a later walk. Pat seemed unflappable, capable and careful. My dog liked her a lot as some of the pictures we of my dog having a great time. Plus he was great when I returned as was the house and plants. I will definitely book Pat again. .”

“Pilar was a great sitter for our dog, King. Prior to King’s stay, she took the time to get to know him and his little quirks to ensure a safe and smooth board. Our dog seemed to love her fenced in backyard and he was wagging his tail at drop off and pick up. It is clear Pilar is an animal lover?”
About: My parents had a one year old dog when I was born so I started life with a canine sibling. A dog, or multiple actually, has always been by my side except between 7th and 9th grade, the loneliest two years ever. I lean towards the Irish Setter but I have raised Golden Retrievers, Boston Terriers, Yorkies and Standard Poodles. I currently have two Setters and one Standard. They speak fluent English and surf the Internet for creative ideas to keep mum busy. I am a retired high school teacher since one month and am looking for commitments on a flexible schedule. I want to be busy but not at the hectic pace that teaching requires. I spent 34 years in secondary education so teaching is natural for me. I have had a canine best friend for almost every of my 58 years and have done countless basic training classes. As a former division 1 athlete, I have an exercise centric lifestyle and thrive on being physically active. Retirement is leaving a void in my routine that I anticipate dog-walking will fill. I have a large property, the majority of which is fenced. The basement has a cage assembled, a cage in the closet and a large wooden pen that my three share when I am out. The furniture is dog friendly and I have enough leashes to walk a football team at once.
“Peggy and her family are amazing and lion had the best time! My little lion is almost 14 years old and needs extra love and care and Peggy was so good with her, giving her lots of extra cuddles and making sure she went outside a lot to use the bathroom since she can’t hold it as well now. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Andrea and Joaquin were great with Brownie. They were patient, caring, and kind especially given Brownie’s old age. They were responsive and made sure to ask questions. They sent us wonderful daily updates. We would gladly use them again.”

“Rylee took great care of my dog. He is an anxious boy and she sent me updates and pictures throughout my whole trip that really made me feel like he was being loved. Would highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

About: From social to skiddish, cuddly to aggressive, I really have a soft spot for any kitty I’ve gotten to know and taking care of them is second nature to me. Most recently, I’ve lived with a very sweet and very spicy cat Sasha, so patience has been key! For the past few years, I have taken care of an incredible golden retriever named Frieda in Southern Vermont. She is nearly 13— we go on twice-daily walks, I brush and trim her long fur, and I make sure she's comfortable around her two kitty relatives in the house. I will be happy to provide this care for your dogs as well, meeting them where they are at in terms of walking, socializing, and other kinds of care I can provide. I am new to Worcester and beginning a graduate school program at MCPHS. I have both remote and in-person classes, but will have ample time everyday to make room for cat care! I am extremely patient when it comes to pet care and I know that it may take time for your pets to warm up to me. I have a warm and gentle presence that will make your kitties and pups and other pets feel safe and comfortable. Much of my pet-sitting in past years has included house-sitting as well, so rest assured that your home is in good hands.
“This was the best experience we’ve had with Rover thus far! Manu took great care of Pickle and kept us updated with their adventures while we were away. We were kept at ease as we knew Pickle was having a ton of fun and well exercised!”

About: Lifelong animal lover and wildlife rescuer, here for you and your pets About: I've cared for animals my whole life: dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and fish. I'm the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they need someone they trust with their pets, for walks, feeding, playtime, or just good company. I'm also the one who stops for hurt wildlife and brings them to the Tufts wildlife rehab clinic, so I stay calm in unexpected situations and I'm comfortable with animals of every temperament. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which means I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and day care. Your pet gets real attention plus plenty of updates and photos while you're away. I treat every animal like my own. I have a large yard where dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor time, plus a dog park just a 3-minute walk away for extra play and socializing. Dogs are never left unattended outside, and I keep a close eye on every pup in my care.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, caring for, and keeping up with their daily routines. I haven’t officially dog sat for another family before, so I don’t have professional references just yet, but I do have plenty of personal experience caring for dogs! I’m available during weekdays and can provide consistent, reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to discuss the hours needed and work with your schedule to ensure your pets receive plenty of attention. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment. I follow their routines carefully, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they always have fresh water and a clean, safe space.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shrewsbury
Melissa, Axl and family are wonderful people you can trust with your dog. I know my Shannon was well loved and cared for while with them. At pick up Shannon was happy to see me but I could also tell she was comfortable and really liked them. Melissa is very responsive with communication and sends pictures.

"Highly recommend Radhika! She took incredible care of Luca during his boarding stay. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. When Luca developed an ear infection, Radhika kept us closely updated on his symptoms right away, allowing us to take him straight to the ER as soon as we got back. We are so grateful for her attentiveness and communication, and we will absolutely book with Radhika again!"

Tara is a phenomenal caregiver to cats. We needed to find a boarding option for our shy adult cat, Sage, due to some noisy and noxious construction work required in our home. (She had never spent time in another person's home since we adopted her over 8 years ago). Tara saved the day. She took amazing care of Sage and provided us with regular updates on her activity and well-being. Sage was able to get settled into Tara's space and even had fun and safe play time with other cats (a first since she was adopted). Anytime we need care for our Sage, Tara will be our first call. She is profoundly kind, thoughtful, warm and welcoming. I recommend her unequivocally.

Carrington took such great care of our toy poodle, Teddy, while we were away from 7/06–7/13. She was wonderful from the very first meet-and-greet and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Teddy in her care. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Teddy was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. Carrington truly went above and beyond our expectations, and we’re so grateful for everything she did. We would absolutely book with her again!

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 .

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.
