“I recently had my dog stay with Bo & Xiaosong for three days and two nights, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! They did an outstanding job taking care of my dog. She was happy, playful, and seemed to have a wonderful time during her stay. The communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I received video clips both day and night showing my dog eating, drinking, playing, and going for walks, which gave me peace of mind and made me feel connected to her while I was away. Bo & Xiaosong truly care about the animals they look after, and it’s evident in the way they interact with the dogs. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving environment for their pet!”
“Kira and Steve are fantastic! They go out of their way to make sure Jax feels comfortable, and us too ... by sending lots of great pics and updates! We love the playtime he gets with other dogs there. We never like leaving Jax, but knowing how comfortable he is at Kira and Steve's makes us feel so much better :). Thanks!”
“Nancy is great with communication & doesn’t have an issue with our older dog who has issues. She took great care of him & contacted me right away when there was a minor issue. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Michelle and Mike watched our puppy and we had a great experience. They provided updates and photos/videos throughout the time they watched him. I would recommend them to other dog owners.”

“Recommended. Sent pictures everyday for 2 weeks! Was available anytime for communication and prompt. Completely worry free. solid and reliable. I was worried our dog didn't want to leave because it was so good. Home and grounds are spot clean and clutter free. Ideal place and people. She is the one. You found her.”
“Sarah and her family took wonderful care of our Maggie while we were away for the weekend! They treated Maggie like their own, even helped to calm her nerves during the rain storm. Sarah was communicative with frequent updates and pictures. I highly recommend Sarah and will use her again!”
“Tracee was very friendly and responsive. She took great care of my little dog and kept me up to date with pictures. My dog doesn’t always eat when I’m away, but she ate regularly with Tracee so I know she was comfortable. I would recommend her services and plan to use her again!”
“Our lab Pepper was in heaven at Katherine and Sean's house for a long weekend. She got lots of attention, walks, swims, and playtime with their two boys.

When we got her home she stood at the door asking when it was time to go back and see her news friends again! :) Thanks Katherine and Sean!”

About: My husband and I have done dog sitting for many people, and have trained a few dogs for friends and family! We have one of our own, a Shih Tzu named Lyla, who is the sweetest and most adorable thing. Though it’s not practical for us to get another dog, getting to love and care for other dogs on a temporary basis is a good substitute! I work from home on a part time basis so I have plenty of free time to care for my dog and others as well. I’m pretty flexible with dog schedules and needs We let our dog roam free in the home and take her for 3 walks a day, so can easily incorporate another dog into that routine. Your dog can be crated or house trained. Either way works
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“Paula did an outstanding job taking care of Arjun during his 7-day stay. She treated him with the utmost care and attention, making sure he never felt homesick by taking him on walks and drives. Paula also kept us regularly updated with photos and videos. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting and boarding needs.”
“Hugo and Julia were very nice and super flexible. Communication was a breeze and we really liked all the photo updates. Rudy was well taken care off and came home very happy. 😊”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”
“Elaine is so amazing! She’s communicative and takes amazing care of your pets. She was so kind to my Australian Shepherd and I could tell he had a blast with her. Will definitely book again!”
“Christine is great! She took great care of Papaya, my dog.My dog was a recused and previously abused by people. Christine took tons of pictures and videos of Papaya and showed how much love he was getting from her. I highly recommend Christine for your dog.”

Southborough dog parents share their Rover experiences
Abby is a 10 yr. old Havanese - and the most universally beloved member of our family. Thus, our prime concern while way from home was Abby's well being. Christine alleviated those concerns completely. Christine is professional in planning for the care of your dog. She checks for compatibility with her dog, Genji, and her children before she agrees to board your dog. Christine is a great communicator before and during the boarding period. Her daily pictures and short videos of Abby sent to us while we were away were a delight. Our extended family could see Abby thriving and visibly enjoying her stay with Christine. (We were not sure Abby would want to leave Christine to return to our home as Abby looked so happy and occupied.) Christine was a "real find."
I had my 3 year old toy poodle stay with Sandra for a weekend so that I could get away for a weekend with my girlfriend. I was a little nervous about leaving him, because he has separation anxiety and had only spent 2 nights away from me in the last 2 years. Sandra did a great job caring for my pup, and I trust her completely with my dog! She followed all directions I left her to a ‘T’, and I really appreciated her excellent communication with me about him, as it was very reassuring. She made every effort to make him as comfortable as possible during the stay, and I would 100% recommend her as a petsitter! She is a kind woman who loves dogs and takes great pride in caring for them. Sandra gets an A++ rating from me!
Jackie is absolutely amazing. We have a 90 pound bernedoodle and he is in love with her. She is totally responsible and stays at our house. She is highly communicative and sends updates while we are away. We are so lucky to have found her and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with a furry loved one. I will always reach out to her when we are away. Thank you!
Margaux was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She was attentive and flexible to our dog’s needs. She also kept in touch regularly & told us of any issues/questions she had along the way. We knew our dog was in great hands! Truly a great sitter, and we will definitely book again!
