“Auntie Trish has been a life saver for our family! She is accommodating, responsive and always happy to spend time with our pups. One of our dogs is reactive and can be super slow to take to new people and she was his best friend by the end of our first meeting. Highly recommend Tricia!!”

“Daniel was an excellent drop-in visitor and playmate for our cat Georgie. We really appreciated his friendliness, prompt communication, and genuine affection for our cat. Bonus points for his availability short notice during holiday season as well! We’d definitely recommend Daniel.”

About: I've had pets since I was a little girl and even worked at a dog grooming salon for three years, which I loved. Over the past 3 summers, I’ve been on Rover and love my experience with animals and clients. I am still recovering from surgery, and we can discuss that when booking with me. I want to create a place where owners feel like they can reach out me and trust me when needed Hello, I’m currently a college student home for the summer. Back in April, I had hip replacement surgery. Over the past few weeks, I've been able to get back on my feet and move around a little more. I was looking to help any furry friends around the area that need to be fed or let outside. Unfortunately, I can't handle large, high-energy dogs. Please reach out, and we can discuss. If anyone needs help with small dogs or cats, I'm your girl. I unfortunately have a torn hip, so I try to book small dogs:) or low energy big dogs. I can’t wait to meet and care for many cute doggies:) During drop-ins, I typically follow the owners' requests, which include feeding the animals, playing with them, spending time together, letting them outside, and refilling their water, etc.
“Kelsey took great care of our two cats! She was very responsive on the app, took the initiative to set up a meet and greet before we booked her, and sent great updates while we were away. I will definitely be booking her services in the future, and highly recommend her!”

“I think Moonlight likes Leah better than us! He was immediately smitten. She took care of necessities like food and water exactly as needed. But she also made sure to play with this feisty feline so he didn't get bored. And the daily pictures were so much fun to see.”

“Ana is the absolute best!! She is truly phenomenal with our high energy, large dog. She is extremely loving with our pup and she treats him like her own. She is also reliable, trustworthy, and punctual. It’s great to know that our dog is in such capable and loving hands while we are away! I cannot recommend Ana highly enough.”

About: I am a reliable dog sitter with lifelong caring experience for dogs. I grew up with two dogs, so I understand routines, behavior, and different personalities. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and will always provide loving attention and care. I treat every dog like my own and will keep owners always updated. I work part-time at a restaurant, which gives me a flexible schedule with strong availability on weekday mornings and early afternoons for fun time with your Pup/Dog! I will prioritize safety by following your dogs routine, keeping your environment secure and giving them needed and loving attention and care at all times!
About: Hey There! I'm Becky. I'm a mother, small business owner, and life-long dog lover. For my entire life I've always had dogs, but a few years my sweet dog crossed the rainbow bridge to doggy heaven. When that happened, my children started asking for a new dog, but I wasn’t quite ready. As an alternative we started helping others with theirs. It’s become an incredible journey for our family, and brings us so much joy! We’re happy to have dogs here for boarding. I only take ONE dog at a time, unless there are multiple dogs coming from the same home that already live together. I have two children (11 & 15) who both love dogs as well. However, my son is nervous around bigger dogs and certain breeds. For this reason, a trial visit is required. Dog sitting has brought an unexpected amount of happiness into our home and family. We get very excited with each new furry friend that we get to love while you’re away. I have a fenced yard and a cozy home. I allowed my dog on the furniture when I had him. I don’t have a crate. Whatever rules apply in your house are what we try to do here. Dogs can run free in my fenced yard or walk on a leash around my neighborhood and in the nearby nature trails. I run a small part-time preschool enrichment program out of my basement, in a separate area where dogs would not have access. During work hours I am generally able let dogs out as needed in a separate fenced area. If you are interested in having your dog stay with us, please feel free to contact me. We would love to provide a safe, happy home away from home for your beloved pet while you're away. Your pet will be treated as if they were our pet. We try our best to make our routines look like yours, creating a safe, happy home away from home. I live in a cute neighborhood abutting conservation land. It is beautiful! We use an organic pest company to keep ticks out of our yard and I keep my home tidy.
“Salina took excellent care of my kitty! She was very punctual and attentive for all drop in visits. She was respectful of our home, and always provided informative updates and cute pictures. Thank you Salina!”
“Cam visited my house to care for my two cats for five days while we were away. I asked if it would be possible to come at the same time every day, though I mentioned it was okay if that couldn’t be done. Cam managed to come at about the same time each day and sent me photos of my cats. Cam is reliable, communicative, and takes great care of pets. I highly recommend Cam’s services.”

About: I have had cats and have taken care of them since I was eight years old, and have spent time with dogs, but don't have any of my own. But I am looking forward to meeting yours. I work part time, usually at night and usually on weekends, I am pretty flexible on weekdays and can take care of your pet in the mornings or afternoons. I feed and clean up after my cat at home. If I am walking a dog then I am comfortable running or going at any pace.

About: I’ve been taking care of a variety of breeds of dogs and cats for the past 14 years. I am now transitioning into a new career and looking to help families with their pet needs. I am also happy to water plants and assist with light housework if needed. I currently am in between jobs, so I have an open schedule through June and July. I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and stay overnight if needed! I am a respectful guest in all homes, ensuring rules are followed and security measures are in place. I am great at reading animals’ body language to maintain a good relationship and trust with all animals. I would prefer to meet in person before agreeing to watch your pet to guarantee a good fit.

About: Hey there! My goal is to help ease the stress of leaving your pet at home when you can't take them with you. I have had dogs since I was a kid, 4 Newfoundlands, a Black Lab-Brittnay Spaniel mix, and I now have Charlie, a 9 yr old German Shepherd-Black Mouth Cur mix and Finn, a 1 yr old Heeler. Finn came to us as a puppy, so I have plenty of experience dealing with those puppy messes and temperaments. Most of our newfoundlands had hip problems near the end of their life, so I have no problem helping with senior dogs that need a little more care. I have also had multiple cats throughout my life and now have Luna, she is 11. Summer is here! If you need someone to check in on your dog while you take a day trip to the beach, I'm happy to stop in and spend time with your furry one. I would ask that we plan a meet and greet prior, then we're all set for those last minute plans! I have 2 boys that are in school, so I'd like to spend time during the day helping other pet parents. My flexible schedule gives me the ability to be available on short notice. I am willing to fit in weekend time, but just need a little heads up due to family activities. I am happy to walk and play with your pet while I visit. If they like a good brush, I'm happy to bond with them in that way, too.
About: Pets are a blessing! I have had the opportunity to take care of various different kinds of animals in my lifetime including dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc. I was born to share my love for nature by caring for and healing those around me. After the passing of my first dog, Louis, I felt as though caring for and meeting new pets gave me tremendous joy! I now have the gift of a new pup, Henry. A snugly and adorable mixed breed who shares nothing but love! I am a freelance videographer and multimedia editor looking for another stream of income. I make my own hours and my schedule is fairly flexible. I am open to helping as much as possible and connecting with people in my community. Please reach out if you need help with your pet or children during this time and I will get back to you. Thank you! I am available to come to client's homes and care for their pets under their specific terms and conditions. I am described as responsible in how I care for animals and am very capable of completing tasks while following client's personal instruction.
Southborough dog parents share their Rover experiences
We are brand new to having Sam do drop ins at lunchtime for our guy, Gus, and he is awesome! He is extremely communicative and sends a constant stream of pictures and videos while he’s here. We also absolutely love his quirky sense of humor and his different greetings for our Gussy boy. Huge fans of Sam :)
