“My fiancé and I needed accommodations for our pup last minute as we were visiting Salem just for the day, and Hannah was extremely quick to reply and more than incredible with Jojo. She sent us updates and a photo and also took him on a walk. She’s so kind and dependable, and I definitely recommend leaving your pup with her.”
About: My kids and I are big dog lovers and would love to help care for your furry family members! 🐾 We’re excited to offer dog walking services in the area and have experience with both dog and cat sitting. We understand how important it is to know your pets are in caring, loving hands, and we’ll treat your pets like part of our own family! I work part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to spend time with your pets!

I live in a 3 bedroom condo in Somerville and have a great, quiet neighborhood and live near several parks. There is ample space for your pet to be comfortable and get exercise.
“Heather took great care of my goldendoodle (Riva) for a weekend. Heather was very communicative and shared pictures and updates throughout the stay, and it was comforting to see Riva looking so relaxed and at home. She seemed to fit right into Heather's family! I would definitely recommend Heather to others.”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Yesika did an amazing job caring for my older dog, Mia. She handled Mia’s special needs—medication, feedings, and separation anxiety—with care and professionalism. I loved the regular updates and photos. It’s clear she truly loves animals. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“I can't recommend Luke highly enough. He quickly figured out Beacon's needs, and Beacon seemed comfortable and at home in no time. As a bonus, Luke is incredibly communicative; I received frequent updates, pictures, and stories about what he was up to. I walked away feeling that Beacon was extremely well cared for.”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“Elizabeth & Rodrigo always treat Gator as part of their family and I cannot express enough how much that helps my anxiety being away from him. I never worry about him knowing that he’s being loved & cared for! They always send plenty of updates and truly are the sweetest family. Gator & I are their biggest fans!!!”
“Elizabeth and Neil C. Are the best! I highly recommend them to watch your dog! They sent me videos of my dog throughout his stay with them! They are the sweetest and kindest couple! I Would definitely bring my Charlie back to them!❤️”
“Emma is amazing with Ollie! He loves going over to stay with her - it’s like a vacation for him too. She sends so many pictures and updates throughout boarding and Ollie got lots of attention and long walks. I couldn’t be happier - thank you Emma!”
“Marie was great with Jerry while I was away for five days. She was super friendly and communicative, and I felt relaxed knowing Jerry was in good hands. She sent pictures throughout the stay (including one of her husband taking Jerry on a run — which I didn’t even know Jerry could do!). Pickup and dropoff were easy, and everything went smoothly. I really liked Marie and her family and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Hunter took great care of my dog Maizie while he was in her care for 2.5 weeks. She is very communicative and provided frequent updates on Maizie. Maizie had a great time and enjoyed playing with her dogs as well! I would use Hunter again for future boarding and I would also recommend Hunter to any one looking for any dog services!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stoneham
Rob was great. Was uncertain how my shy-ish new one would do, but Rob arranged a pre-meet that helped ease anxiety on the appointed day. He is clearly a dog guy and relates to them well. Would highly recommend & I intend on availing myself of Rob’s services in the future.
Luke was amazing. Mongo had one of the best days hiking and snuggling with Luke after his hike. Luke is communicative and sent so many great pictures throughout their visit. I highly recommend Luke for dogs of all sizes. He’s an excellent dog handler and absolute lover of dogs. Mongo is already looking forward to his next visit.
Sahana and Raman were wonderful! They took the time to meet our Red and make sure he was comfortable with them and their Cinnamon while we were still present. They were also very flexible and communicative. Red looked very happy and comfy, both in the many pics/videos they sent through the stay, and when we picked him up after a week. Would definitely book again!
We had such a wonderful experience with Carol! Our Boxer, Jarvis, stayed with her and absolutely loved his time there. It was clear when we picked him up that he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. Carol was incredibly kind, attentive, and loving toward Jarvis, and we really appreciated knowing that he was in such good hands while we were away. She made him feel right at home, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was having a great time. Jarvis came home happy and tired, which is always the best sign! We would absolutely trust Carol with him again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she gave Jarvis! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our dog, Bailey, had a wonderful time with Mariia & Mikhail – it was very clear from all the photos! We were away for almost two weeks and were initially a little nervous to leave Bailey for so long. Their communication and adorable photos of Bailey having fun, getting a lot of attention, and taking walks put us at ease and made our hearts sing. Our Bailey is 14 years old, so she has some walking limitations, and she has to take medication. Mariia & Mikhail handled everything like pros, and we truly don’t think she could have been in better hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to leave their pet with friendly, responsible, and communicative sitters.
She was a wonderful sitter for my dog over three days. My dog really liked her, and she took extra care to help him feel comfortable and less anxious while I was away. She was also very flexible, accommodating, and easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to other dog owners!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Stoneham can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Stoneham home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Stoneham.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stoneham. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Stoneham 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 ME 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
