About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and goats! I love animals and I am a biology-pre vet major at the University of New England! I currently work part time 3 days a week. Which leave me with the lots of time to help out with your pets! I am available in the mornings and most afternoons. I have a nice big yard for yours pets to enjoy and I have lived with dogs my whole life so my house is definitely fit for a dog!
“Ann Marie was and is totally awesome (I’m contracting her on an ongoing basis). She has a genuine affection for pets, and she hit it off instantly with my 9-year-old Greyhound/Retriever. I give her my highest recommendation.”
“I have 2 dogs, one is a very fearful dog so he is hard to handle. Ben did a fantastic job. He was able to get them both outside for their potty breaks, something I wasnt sure he could do. He sent daily updates and photos. Its nice to go away and know even my difficult pup is well cared for.”
“Cassie provided amazing care to our cats. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and well cared for. I would highly recommend Cassie for pet sitting!”
“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of Joe. I came home to a very well groomed, happy, and healthy kitty. Katherine also did a wonderful job communicating, keeping things clean, and very clearly adores animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others.”
About: My regular work schedule changes every week! So although it might show that I have a day blocked off, please message me anyways to see if I am available for a day you need help! :) I have had multiple cats and multiple dogs my entire life. I have also volunteered for animal transportation services! I have been counted on to bathe, feed, walk, and love all animals I have had in my care! I am currently working part-time a few days a week, during the mornings. I will have plenty of time afternoon/ night to care for your animals! On my days off, I am more than happy to accept any possible needs for your animals! I take my 2 dogs out every 3-4 hours as well as refill their water bowls throughout the day and feed them twice according to their diets. My cats are let out once or twice a day with supervision and are fed twice a day as well as their water bowl being refilled throughout as well. And of course they all get cuddles and play time!
“Erica certainly has a way with dogs. Our shy 1 year old Labradoodle was quick to cozy up to Erica and her two well-behaved dogs. It's comforting to know that I can schedule play dates for our dog and know she is staying with a loving family.”
“Michelle went above and beyond during her drop-ins, not just making sure my fur babies were fed and spoiled for atrention, but also helping me out with situations in the apartment where I was not there to handle it on my own. Thank you so much!!”
“Sara is an outstanding find! I almost didn’t want to leave this review because I didn’t want other people to take her away from my sweet babies! She is incredibly kind and goes above and beyond. She leaves detailed information about each visit and share so many excellent photos so that we know our dogs are being very well cared for. We are so lucky to have her take care of our two dogs.”
“Maegan watched our goats and chickens for a week. Unfazed by the complicated instructions and our shifting plans, sent cute photos--felt very good to leave them in her competent and reliable hands.”
About: I have fostered dogs of all ages and health issues, have owned various breeds, have managed a boarding and daycare facility. Growing up and living with animals and my volunteer experience has taught me how to handle dogs of all backgrounds. I love all creatures and give them the love and respect they deserve. I work full time during the week but can take care of your furkid during the day and evening if you are in the Leominster, Fitchburg area. I am available on weekends and flexible with time and location. I love to hike and be outdoors so walks, runs, hikes, I'm all in for it. I am experienced and familiar with crate training if you need help and can accommodate as needed. Whatever is needed to create a safe, calm, quiet place for everyone is what I always want for my furkids.
“Colin was wonderful with our cat, Lily. She's it's normally very shy and will hide when new people enter her life, but Colin was able to gain her trust and get her to come out of her shell. He did a great job and I highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open. It gets me walking and outside, two things I enjoy. It helps my health and makes me feel good. Happy to walk your dog! Cannot have pets stay at my house as I have a kitty cat of my own. His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂
“Blaise did an awesome job with my dogs while I was out of town. They warmed up to him quickly, and he made sure they were taken care of which kept my mind at ease. Would definitely hire again :)”
“This was my first time using a pet sitting service so I was pretty nervous. Bradleigh is super friendly and outgoing and made this experience stress free! I highly recommend Bradleigh and wouldn't hesitate to choose her again in the future.”

Sterling cat parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat received from Ann! She was wonderful about spending quality time with her, making sure she got plenty of play and attention while we were away. It’s clear our cat was well looked after and content. We highly recommend Ann’s services and will definitely book again!
This is my first time trying Rover and Ann Marie was great! She stopped by a few days before the scheduled dates to learn the specifics of taking care of my cats. It was also a good chance to get to know her and she provided references. The care she gave my cats was superb!
