“Our dog Baily had such a great time with Maeve that we didn’t think he would want to leave. Maeve is very conscientious to each individual dog’s needs (she takes great note!). I would highly recommend anyone to have their dog stay with Maeve. She’s great”


“My dog had a great time with Kira and her family and I highly recommend dog boarding here. Leo warmed up to them fast and it was very reassuring with the great communication Kira had with me plus nice pictures of my dog’s experience there. Leo came home happy and excited he made so many dog and people friends!”

“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”

“Liliya and her family were great with Sophie. This was Sophie’s first experience staying with a sitter so I was a bit nervous how she would do. During Sophie’s stay Liliya sent many pics and updates about Sophie’s routine. This really put my mind at ease and Sophie seemed very content. I also love that Liliya, her husband and two young kids played a role in the sitting which means Sophie got lots of attention. I highly recommend Liliya! I will be using her again next time I travel.”

“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”

“Erin took great care of our dog and was quick with communication. Receiving daily photos was so helpful. Erin also took the extra step to help our dog when something came up during his stay, we appreciate the care and attention. Thank you, Erin!”

“Nancy is very kind, loving and caring. My dog is old and timid and Nancy handled her care with exactly what my dog needed. Nancy is very gentle. I would highly recommend Nancy.”

“Ana took such good care of our pup Rosie! She was so easy to communicate with and sent daily updates, with pictures and videos! Rosie loved playing with her dog, Lola, and came home exhausted in the best way!”


“Echo had a good time and Sara was great. She’s super responsive and provided updates on how he was doing. He even got a walk in right before we picked him up. Thanks Sara for everything!”

“Thank you so much, Mliss and Family! Gracelyn was in great hands while we were away. Lots of family pets and love kept the Small One happy and cozy. Thank you so much!!”

“Sarah was terrific with our dog Dougal. Communication was great and everything went to plan. We were very pleased to have found Sarah and would be happy to have her look after Dougal again. We would definitely recommend her to others.”

About: I have a 5-year-old border collie. He’s very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. I live in a town house so I don’t have a yard per say. I typically take my dog to parks/fields in Ashland to hike or run around. I typically walk my border collie about 4 miles a day as well. I work remote so I am usually home. Available 7 days a week. I usually go to the gym for a few hours each day but try to be home for my dog to keep him active as a herding dog (border collie) I will do 2 long walks per day typically (2 miles each). I will also take my dog and yours hiking or to a field/park but not a dog park. I can go to a fenced in field if needed for your dog. Mine doesn’t need a fence.
“Jesse and her family took great care of my Ginger. I received lots of updates with pictures and videos throughout the stay. My dog looked very happy and safe. I would book her there again in the future.”


“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was easy to coordinate with, provided plenty of updates (including some really adorable photos), and made our time away stress free because we knew our dog was in great hands!”


“Elaine is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our dog Cody. She kept us informed of how he was doing while we were away from him. She sent us special photos of him that made our day. We highly recommend her as a sitter. She is a pleasure to work with and extremely caring. Cody had a great time and was very happy during his stay with Elaine. I would give her a six star rating if I could.”

“Cathy and her family were great! They were very friendly, welcoming to our dog, communicative and thoughtful. They offered some of their dog's food when we under-measured for the week and sent a daily update. Bowie looked like he had a great time playing fetch in their yard and playing with Brady! Thank you for taking care of him!”

“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”

“Jacqueline was gracious and kind enough to board my 1-year old with short notice and an extended period of time. She responded very well and provided frequent updates to let me know how he was doing.”

“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.”

“Danya did an amazing job with our high needs cat and our chickens. She really went above and beyond: taking out trash, cleaning dirty bowls, and dealing with an on-going construction project. One evening the construction crew accidentally locked her out, and she patiently kept trying to get in touch with me and trouble shooted the problem with me via text so she could get in. I think a lot of people would have given up, and I'm so grateful she didn't.”


“Nikkita was communicative and easy to work with! She helped out with a last minute request and was attentive, which made our dog’s first Rover visits very easy and enjoyable. Would book again!”


“Deirdre took great care of my cat Nami for four days while I was away on vacation. My cat is picky about playing, so I left a few playing tips. It’s good to know that Deirdre was actively trying those tips to play with her! Besides, Deirdre followed our routines for feeding, and cleaning litter boxes. Thanks Deirdre!”

“Sarah was great with our cat Cedar. She took good care of our timid cat and followed our directions perfectly. She is super nice and friendly, as well. Will definitely book with her again!”


“Tricia was great with our cats! She sent daily updates and pics which helped us be away from the kitties as this was the first time we have used a service. Highly recommend!!”


“This was our first time using a pet sitter for our elderly cats, and we were a bit nervous, but Jessica did a great job, everything we asked her to do. Our boys seemed to take to her right away and it was comforting for us to know that their needs were being met so that we could enjoy our trip. She sent pictures of both of them everyday and gave a nice report, letting us know how they were doing and what she had done in interacting with them. I would highly recommend Jessica and we will definitely use her again!”

“100/10, Lucy is incredibly trustworthy and nurturing, it is very clear to me how much she loves and cares for animals. She took care of my 2 kitties while I had to be away for work, I do not have a dog - I just want to be clear about that, because I’ve had no less than 5 other sitters watch my cats, and all of them have struggled. I think people think that cats are “easier”, but as a result they don’t end up getting all of the love and care they need. Anywho, that was not the case here at all, she did everything I asked her to do, even going above and beyond… and she sent me SO many pictures and videos… this was probably my easiest trip away, because I was getting so many updates from Lucy. It was also very clear to me that the kitties were excited to see her, they can be a little skeptical of new people but it was obvious to me that they connected with her. I could not be happier with Lucy, she’s a great sitter and I will hire her again on my future trips!! She’s very communicative as well, even keeping the schedule up to date with her arrival times. Thank you so much Lucy!! Your diligent care for Kelso and Kali brought me so much comfort!!”


“Lindsey was great! Our cat is a little spicy, but she warmed up to Lindsey quickly, which is a true testament to her calming a sweet nature. She truly cares for the animals she looks after. We will definitely rebook Lindsey in the future!”


“Kimberly was so kind and great to jewels! She kept me updated and took such a great care of my puppy while we were away! I would recommend her to anyone who need care for their pet!”

“Sarah was really great with our two cats! She was able to give our one cat the meds she needs and sent many updates throughout the week! She was very attentive and always answered right away. Definitely will book with Sarah again in the future!”


About: Hi! We’re Jaycee and James, a dog-loving couple who are excited to welcome your pup into our home! 🐾 We have two dogs of our own — Bentley, our playful and energetic 2-year-old Golden Retriever, and Bailey, our sweet and cuddly 4-year-old mini Bernedoodle. They both love having a furry friend around, so we’re only able to care for dogs who are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. We’re an active household and love spending time outdoors. Our apartment community has two private dog parks, and we have plenty of walking and hiking trails nearby. Whether your dog loves a long walk and playtime or would rather relax and cuddle at home, we’re happy to match their routine and energy level. James works from home, so there is almost always someone home with the dogs throughout the day. We also only care for one guest dog at a time, which allows us to give your pup plenty of individual attention and make them feel like part of the family. We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, and we’ll treat your pup like one of our own! ❤️ James works from home, so there is almost always someone home with the dogs throughout the day. We have a flexible schedule and can provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. We provide a safe, comfortable, home-based environment where your dog can be part of our family. We only care for one guest dog at a time and require dogs to be friendly and comfortable around other dogs, since we have Bentley and Bailey. We follow your instructions carefully and prioritize your dog’s comfort, safety, and individual needs.

“I have a very skittish senior cat that I no longer want to leave alone while I travel. Salina, was a god sent. He came out of his hiding spot for her on the first day, he ate and inspected her, all things I never thought would happen. Salina has a way with scared animals (and their nervous pet parents). The entire time I was away, I felt like he was safe and loved and I was well informed of his progress. I will have Salina back at our home any time. She also kept me informed of everything and left the house spotless. I cannot recommend Salina enough.”

“Maeve took excellent care of our puppy, Barnaby. It was his first time with a sitter, and first time meeting another dog, and Maeve made it so easy. She communicated with me promptly, sent photos, and Barnaby loved being with her. 100% recommend.”

“Kathy was great with Comet. She sent lots of pictures and gave him lots of treats and love. And Franklin was an excellent host too. Kathy was very communicative and asked lots of questions before we met, making us feel safe leaving Comet there. We would absolutely use her again!”

“Joanne has watched my dogs many times and is very dedicated to their care. Her whole living space is made with dogs in mind and she is very attentive to their needs. I have been using her services for years.”

“Nancy has been a fantastic caregiver for my dog! Her communication is thorough, she sends me pictures throughout the day, and she has been really wonderful about all of my pet’s medical needs. She feels like a real partner! A+ for Nancy!”

About: I have a yorkie that I have taken care of for 7 years. I also volunteered at a dog shelter for two years which got me accustomed to all sorts of dogs! I currently work as a host at cheesecake and am a full time student at northeastern, I currently am taking summer courses and have more time to myself. I walk, feed and play with my dog! I also did the same for the dog shelter as I played, trained and walked the dogs there.
“Karma had a great day with Jacqueline and her daughter. They sent a picture and update halfway through the day which was nice as this was the first time I had left Karma with people I did not know. I texted on my way to pick her up and they had her ready to gomwhen I got there.”

About: I treat every dog like family-with love, patience, and attetion. I make sure each pyp feels safe, happy, loved and cared for while you're away. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I set aside time every day for walks, feeding and playtime. i enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they are well cared for. During walks, I focus on the dog's safety and wellbeing. I choose quiet routes when possible, bring water if it's hot, and make sure they get exercise and simulation. I always treat them withcare and respect
About: I have over four years of experience in the dog care industry, including working in dog daycares and as a professional dog walker. I have developed a strong connection with dogs, as well as a solid understanding of their behavior, body language, and needs. My experience has allowed me to confidently manage groups of dogs and ensure a safe, enriching environment for each one. Taking care of my pet is a natural and important part of my daily and weekly routine. I've always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, so making sure they’re happy, healthy, and well cared for is something I take seriously. From feeding and walking to playtime and naps, these tasks are part of my everyday life. My pet is more than just an animal—they’re family, and their well-being is always a priority for me. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I have a very friendly female dog who gets along well with others, which helps new dogs feel at ease. My apartment is cozy and has enough space for them to relax, and we’re lucky to have green areas and a dog park nearby where they can walk, play, and burn off energy. I always follow each pet's routine and needs, whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or just quiet time. Their comfort and happiness come first.
“Sara was wonderful with my puppy and young adult dogs, and very accommodating of my lazy Saturday schedule. The pups were happy and relaxed, and Sara had only nice things to say about them, when I came to get them from a day of doggie daycare and slept like rocks—clearly exhausted from a day of nonstop play in Sara’s yard. Would definitely recommend!”


“Elaine & Ken are wonderful. Their dog Brady is a great companion too :). So glad to have found them ! I have peace of mind when working when my pup Gator is with them. Very kind , reliable & responsible. My pup always looks forward to seeing them.”
“Onyx had a great day at daycare with Julie! I received pictures throughout the day and updates on how his day went. I will definitely use Julie again in the future! Thank you!”

“Strudel had a great time with tons of space to run and play and two other friendly dogs to play with. Souvik and Meghan were attentive, answered all of our questions immediately, and sent periodic updates of Strudel's adventures playing with the other pups and on walks.”

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet owner and caregiver, I bring a wealth of knowledge in pet care, particularly in the nurturing of dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. Currently, I share my home with a lively Chihuahua and two feline companions, while also extending my care to several clients' beloved canines. Additionally, I have undergone training in positive-reinforcement techniques and clicker training methods. Before commencing services, I typically offer a complimentary "Meet and Greet" session. This serves as an invaluable opportunity for us to meet face-to-face, allowing me to familiarize myself with your pets and home environment. Moreover, it's an ideal time to exchange pertinent information such as door codes, keys, and entry instructions. Please note, for services requiring travel to your location, such as dog walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, that rates may vary depending on the distance from my residence in Marlborough. My schedule is structured to accommodate pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. With several regular pet clients whom I walk during the week, I may be away for 4-6 hours at a time, ensuring each pet receives the attention and exercise they require. In all services I provide, whether it's house sitting, walks, drop-ins, boarding, or daycare, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for your beloved pets. Depending on the specific service offered, I tailor my care methods to suit the unique needs of each pet, ensuring they feel secure and well-cared for in both my home and yours.

“I have used Kim to walk my 14 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback and my 4 year old pit mix. Both are different personalities and I am very happy with how punctual Kim is and the patients has walking my dogs”
“Thanks so much Nikkita for taking Winnie out while I was gone! Nikkita came to meet Winnie the night before which was awesome to put my mind at ease as a new dog owner! She has great communication and was so sweet with Winnie 💕”

“Dee saved my bacon. After being left with necessary dog care for a last minute need, she kindly fit in a meet and greet with my precious pup. This is my child. My dog means very much to me. And it was plainly evident that my pup was extremely comfortable when she first met Dee…my dog brought one of her favorite toys to her. By all intents, Dee’s visit with my pup went very well and I did not worry about my dog the entire time I was away from home. She communicated with me to let me know that she was running a little bit late and would be there five minutes after the agreed-upon time which I thought was far above and beyond what I would expect. I trust my dogs assessment of people better than I trust my own. Anybody’s fuzzy children are in good hands with Dee.”

“Georgina is wonderful! Our 1 year old pup absolutely adored her, and she provided great updates and photos after each walk while we were away. We hope to work with Georgina again soon!”


“Hailey provided great care for my two Boston terrier. On the first day there was trouble with access to my apartment due to my leasing office being closed. Hailey stuck with it & waited till I could get home to let her in to take care of pups. She’s a great communicator. 10/10 would recommend & would ask for help in the future.”

About: I have been a Retriever mom (Golden & Labrador) all my life. I love them with all my heart, but I also understand they need discipline. I will make sure they will be well cared for. I work from home with flexible timings. I would have to make sure the dogs are ok with children(we have a 4-year-old) and our golden. We have a pretty big yard and live a block away from a park. I can take them for longer walks if needed. We usually do walks no matter the weather!
About: My experience encompasses daily walks, meticulous feeding schedules, and recognizing subtle signs of distress. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment, ensuring your pets feel secure and happy in your absence. My approach is tailored to each animal's unique needs, fostering a bond of trust and affection. I am going back to school to show my son it can still be done at my age. Your pets will fit into my schedule perrrfectly. I have a very loved 8 year old rescued cat that my son adores. Although I don't offer services at my home your pets will be loved and cared for like my own.
“Lucy was amazing! We used Lucy to walk our dog midday when our friend was unable to come let her out during a work trip. Lucy and River had so much fun! Lucy was attentive, had great communication, and was on time every day. We will definitely use Lucy again! Thanks again Lucy! :)”

“Alyssa did a great job walking my dog. This was a last minute request from my side, and she responded well. She arrived on time and was able to walk my dog around the neighborhood. She communicated well and performed services as expected. Will definitely recommend her for any dog walking services.”

“Julianna was great, she took our black lab Sophie on several walks this week and played ball with her outside despite the cold/heavy snow. She is reliable, kind and clearly comfortable with dogs.”

“Flexible, professional, excellent communication is Kianna’s business side. Creative, adventurous, intuitive, loving and warm is how Kianna is with our painfully shy rescue pup. Our pup Sally adores her. Kianna takes many photos of their time together ( which brightens my busy workdays!) and just took a beautiful video of the two of them - as their relationship has blossomed over the months - that I will save and cherish forever. Kianna is special! Thank you Kianna!”

“Brittany was amazing with our female labradoodle Mia! She clearly loves animals and was very attentive and provided a very nice summary and photos of Mia after every visit. She’s great and we highly recommend her!”

“Nicholas was really friendly and on time! He was very good at handling Kona (who tends to jump) and was able to handle his pull-y nature. Very grateful for all of Nicholas’s help and I would not hesitate to ask for his services in the future.”

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!

“I had Jaycee take my dog Oreo for a few walks while I was out of town and would highly recommend her for any pet sitting or walking. She stuck to the times she mentioned in the window provided and updated with cute pictures. She even left a few treats for Oreo to enjoy after the booking was over. I'll look to have her take care of any pet again if needed.”
“Marina is great, she arrives on time and is able to take Hensley out on walks in the woods. Our pup is a little on the shy side and she has been kind enough to gently introduce her to another dog to help with that. Thank you, Marina!”

“Keith took great care of Zafira- she came home knackered. If I had one complaint it would be that she came a bit more spoiled than before- not a bad thing. Keith was also great at taking and sharing pics of my baby.”

“Dina was an excellent caregiver for our energetic pet! She was very welcoming and engaged immediately with Fiadh, and provided photos and updates while we were away on an overnight. Dina has a large fenced yard which was very important for our high-energy pet! We recommend Dina 100% and will definitely contact her again when we need support!”

“I left my Great Dane in Gabriel’s care for a week. She was well taken care of and had plenty of exercise and play time with other pups he was looking after. We loved seeing the video and photo updates Gabriel shared throughout the week. I would definitely recommend him and will definitely be using him to watch my dog in the future!”
