“Luiz and his family are wonderful! Once again, Sachi had a great time and we didn't worry about a thing. As we were getting closer to Luiz' house, she got very excited and clearly knew where she was going. Thank you so much.”
“Was very communicative and great with my dog. Took blue on multiple runs and hour long walks, which really helps her when she’s feeling anxious away from home. Would definitely recommend.”
“We found Erica last minute and we were really happy with our dog Leia first stay with her. She sent us updates and pictures and also helped our dog warm up to the other pups that were staying.”
“We had such a great experience leaving our little Luna with Jacob and Willie (his friendly dog!). Jacob was super communicative with little reassuring updates and made sure to provide a cozy and comfortable space for her to stay while we were on vacation. Were really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who’s looking for someone to care for their pup!”
“Svetlana was amazing with our dog, great communication, pictures and detailed updates. We knew how our dog was all the time which was such a relief during our trip. 💯 recommended.”
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently working 6:30am-12pm, M-F (sometimes Saturday, 7am-12pm). I'm available for drop-in visits any day of the week, after 12pm and on the weekends. I can house sit during the week as long as your pet doesn't mind an early morning! 🙂. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
“My dog had a blast with Paul! Plenty of yard space to run around and socialize with other dogs. I received daily videos/picture updates on how he was doing. Will definitely be coming back for future stays.”
“Megan did an outstanding job taking care of our pup. Communication was excellent and she sent a lot of really cute pictures of her while we are away. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Megan and her family!”
“John did a great job with our Enzo dog. He is obviously a dog person! You can tell by the way he talks with and connects with dogs. Since this was the first time our dog boarded with someone, we wondered how he would do, but he was totally comfortable with John. By the way, John sent pictures to put us at ease, but also showed that our dog was happy and comfortable.”
“Pat was a great petsitter for my little dog. She is very friendly and calm. We had a nice and thorough meet and greet at her house and went over my pup’s information. I provided some written info about my dog’s routines with feeding, meds etc that Pat was attentive to. My dog loved staying at Pat’s home, especially lying in the sunshine napping! I knew she was in good hands during the three days away, which allowed me to have a great trip. Pat’s husband was also very nice and my pup loved him too. I got a photo update each morning with a text about what Pat & my dog had been up to together. The one time my dog exhibited an unusual behavior (just instinctively trying to cover her food to save it for later!), Pat sent me a quick video to ask about it, which made me feel good about the care my dog was receiving. Overall I was totally happy with our experience having Pat petsit. We look forward to using her when I have to travel again soon and I recommend her without reservation. Thanks very much Pat!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Shea and Damien are amazing!! They are so friendly and responsive and also very knowledgeable about dogs. My two large dogs can be a lot to handle together and they had an awesome time. We will definitely be booking with them again! 😊”
“I was a little hesitant to leave my dog with a stranger for the first time but Melissa seemed to do a great job! Great communication throughout the process! Thanks again!”
“Erica is great! I needed a "Jake Break"...she took him for an overnight. He had a great time. As soon as I met her, I knew she was a really good person. I'll most definitely use her again, possibly monthly, as I go to a doctor once a month in her area. My dog loved hers and he got good exercise too. He didn't want to leave. He was very happy and I could tell he had a good time. I previously used a neighbor and he NEVER came home happy. USE JESSICA!”
“Moe had the best time with Elizabeth and family. He was well taken care of, loved being with her dogs and was in great form when we pick him up. Moe is going back to Elizabeth and his new pooch friends and he will be delighted, as will I. Such a relief to know your pup is in good hands, safe, happy and well cared for, thank you Elizabeth!”
“Our dog, Molly, had a great time at Mandy's place! Mandy took her on several walks every day and gave her lots of love and attention that all little dogs need. She kept in touch with us each day by sending us lots of cute and funny photos. It's very clear that Mandy loves dogs and really enjoys caring for them. She definitely gets 5 Stars from us!!! ”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
95% of sitters in Templeton 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 Templeton 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 Templeton.
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 Templeton. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Templeton 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 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.
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.
