“Sheryl and her family were absolutely incredible with our dog! I get so nervous leaving my dog with new sitters but Sheryl made me feel so ease. She ensured her sweet dog and mine had a positive introduction and sent me updates on how Rudy was doing while we were away. Thanks to Sheryl and her family I was able to relax and enjoy my trip without worrying about how Rudy was doing. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“If I could give more stars, I would! Shatane and her family are truly wonderful people. They treated Ziggy and me with respect and showed Ziggy love and attention every day during his 3-day stay this week. I would definitely recommend Shatane—excellent communication, with plenty of updates, pictures, and videos.”
“Samantha took excellent care of Kiki. She provided a loving environment with lots of petting and walks. I would recommend her and will certainly book with her again in the future.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! This family truly love animals and treat them like family. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“The absolute best!!! Lucky was the lucky one to get such incredible care. Cannot say enough wonderful things. Will always book here first!! A+ care!!!! Highest recommendation!”

“Marcia was wonderful; they made my pup feel like a member of the family! I got lots of updates so I didn't have to worry while I was away for work. Cane was having so much fun that I wasn't sure he'd want to come home!”
“Matthew and Jennifer took wonderful care of our Ollie. They knew just what to do to make our anxious pup feel at home. He is comfortable with them and we feel very comfortable entrusting them with him!”
“Hannah was so accommodating and patient for my anxious chihuahua mix. She had plenty of supplies on hand and other extras to make sure my dog felt comfortable. Her home was clean, tidy, and welcoming. Hannah’s great with sending photos and communicating quickly. I would love to book her again in the future, and I absolutely recommend using her services for your next pup sitter! :)”
“Jennifer was exceptional! She was extremely flexible and kind towards us and our pup JoJo. JoJo immediately felt comfortable with Jennifer and her tiny chihuahua. They played and took a nice walk together. Jennifer had great communication and sent a cute video and a few pics! We would highly recommend her services and would definitely have her watch JoJo for us again!”
About: Bio is underneath but first what to expect from me when you book the following services: Dog Walk: depending on your needs and likes, I will walk your dog(s) in your neighborhood or take them somewhere else if preferred. I always carry treats, doggie baggies and extra leashes. The dog will remain leashed at all times. Pick up time can vary by about up to half an hour due to other clients prior. Drop-In visit: Food and fresh water is given, as well as toilet break. To fill agreed upon 30 minutes there will be snuggles, play time or perhaps quick brushing if desired. Client may add another 30 minutes and specify if a little walk is desired as well. If an accident occurred this will be dealt with right away and added to notes and pictures. Overnight house/pet sitting: (Day 1) 7-9am; noon check in; 5-9pm. You can expect me to give Feed and fresh wate, clean up after pets(inside and outside, please provide info on where to put doggie bags after), walk, snuggle, play with as needed or desired. Stay overnight: please let me know if you do NOT want me to stay the night. The hours above will be applied here. Otherwise provide clean bedsheets. Optional: I am happy to also bring in your mail, water plants(inside and outside) and adjust lights. For my personal assessment please provide a list of those tasks as well as any other pets that may need caring for. BIO I have been a pet owner since I was a kid and have always been helping neighbors with their pets by walking their dogs for the elderly neighbors, caring for bunnies or cats and helping brush horses and moving them to pasture in my neighborhood growing up in Germany. I have been a dog, cat, and chicken owner for a while, and we even have a rabbit, and adopted a leopard gecko at some point. I am also a wife, mom of 4 kids and enjoy home making/ and a lot of home steading here on our micro farm. Staying at home and being available to my kids is priority. I am luckily they share my love for animals. I am a long time U.S. resident (since 2007), and have been raised in Germany. My English is fluent, and I have been told that I don't have an accent anymore, so communicate is definitely not an issue. I would love to care for your little furry (or not so furry) pet, may it be checking in for a feed or potty break, overnight stay, or a relaxing or vigorous walk. I am looking forward to meeting you! I am stay at home mom and have a lot of flexibility when it comes to stepping out to visit your furry friend. All I ask is to have notice and be respectful of my time and schedule. And I will reciprocate this of course! I am flexible and cater to anybody's unique needs. As long as I have ample notice and frequent communication. I am happy to send pictures and text messages during a visit/feeding if so desired. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
“Helen provided exceptional care for Rosie, showing dedication, affection, and expertise. Each day, she kept me updated with beautiful pictures of Rosie. Within just two weeks, she successfully retrained Rosie to go potty outside, with 100% positive results. I can't recommend Helen enough—she is professional, communicates effectively, and most importantly, Rosie was truly happy in her care.”
About: We’ve cared for dogs on and off for the past 14 years and have always had a genuine love for animals. We have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and routines. As a couple, we’re able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, and overnight care. Our goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. We are generally busy during the weekdays, but we have plenty of availability from Friday through Monday. This makes us especially flexible for weekend boarding, extended stays, and overnight care. We’re happy to work around your dog’s normal routine and provide the consistency, attention, and care they’re used to while you’re away. We want every dog staying with us to feel like they’re at a second home. We provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities for walks and relaxation. We will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, and other preferences. We also understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so we’re happy to provide updates and photos throughout their stay
“Michele recently took care of my 4 month old pup for a week during our family vacation. It was the best doggy daycare I've experienced in my thirty plus years of utilizing various pet facilities in this area. The correspondence, photos and videos she sent throughout the week were greatly appreciated and reassured me that my pup was in very capable hands. I am totally pleased with her services and will not hesitate to use her doggy care in the future. A++”
“Theresa was super friendly and communicative. She provided lots of updates, photos, and videos. Nelly got to play with lots of dogs over the weekend which she loved! Will book with Theresa time and time again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Pond
Patricia was so gracious to respond to my last minute request to take care of my Bichon for the day. He is a bit sensitive and slow to trust new people, but had no trouble going with her. Fortunately Patricia understands dogs; she let him nap by himself and waited for him to come to her. I will certainly use her again.
Patricia was wonderful. I had just moved to a new home and Lincoln was still trying to adjust. She was very attuned to his needs, walked him and exercised him a lot and gave him much needed cuddles and reassurance. She took great care of the house, was neat and clean and considerate. I highly recommend.

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 South Pond home-away-from-home, 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 South Pond.
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.
You and your South Pond 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 , 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 .
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.
