“Meli is a fantastic sitter! She took awesome care of my pup, Chunk. I really enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout the day. It was a comfort knowing that he was in good hands. You can tell that she is very passionate about animals!”
“Svetlana and her family were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Milo! They’re kind, caring, and made him feel completely at home. Milo loved all the cuddles and attention he got — he clearly enjoyed spending time with them. I could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. I’m so grateful to have found such a loving family to look after him. Highly recommend Svetlana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and affectionate sitter!”
“Vignesh is a very responsive, loving & caring pet care provider. Lali enjoyed the stay with Vignesh. I highly recommend Vignesh for your pets care when you are away.”
“Excellent experience across the board. Steve and Kira treat the pups like family and create an environment where they can play and rest and get all the TLC they need. They are easy to communicate with, provide photo updates, and don’t mind giving special diets and meds. The dogs are well screened to make sure the crew is all friendly, so they have a really positive social experience.”
“Gabriel was super responsive and communicative. This was our first time boarding our older adopted beagle. Gabriel worked with him to socialize him with the other dogs and made him very comfortable during his stay. I would recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Sarah and her family! This was our 1st time with Sarah and was happy to hear that our dog quickly bonded with her kids. Sarah proactively sent updates every day with pictures, which we all appreciated. I highly recommend Sarah and will definitely book with her again.”
“We had a great experience with Dawn and her family! Dawn was very easy going about our schedule and attentive, providing updates and pictures throughout our vacation. We will absolutely be reaching out for future trips!”
“Jacqueline and her daughter always take amazing care of my Mango! She always has a great time with them and the daily pictures and updates give me reassurance while I’m away. 10/10”
“Yoshi loved his time with Andreana. She sent pics to keep in touch. She kept a nice clean home which made Yoshi feel comfortable and less anxious. Great sitter! We will be using her again for sure.”
“I felt like my dog Polly was in great hands with Briana and her family. I got pictures every day showing her having a great time with the family and other dogs. Would definitely recommend!!”
“This was our first time boarding Bailey with Lilly and her family. We were nervous leaving our 15 year old baby with someone new but Lilly and her family made us feel comfortable and sent us pictures morning. We would definitely book with Lilly again and highly recommend her.”
“Very happy with J & J! We took a last minute trip and they responded quickly. They took good care of Milo, sent pictures, and i could tell he was happy there. Would definitely book again!”
“Roxy had a wonderful stay with Jacquie and her family and pups! She clearly got a lot of attention and snuggles, walks in the woods, and yummy treats. Jacquie had clear and frequent communication and sent us pics. We would absolutely stay again :)”
“Michael was always available for any questions or concerns about my pup. He sent me pictures whenever I asked for them and he is working on getting a new place for his daycare.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received while I was away! Lingwen was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their hands. She was so professional, friendly, and attentive, taking the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences. During the time I was away, Lingwen kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. My dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pets!”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Julie was a fabulous sitter for our girl Ruby while we were away. We got updates, pictures and appreciate that Ruby was getting lots of love and attention. Ruby greatly enjoyed her “vacation” with Julie and we would definitely book with her again.”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
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 unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. 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.
“Dana was so accommodating and able to take Luca last minute after our pet friendly Airbnb canceled on us. We don’t leave Luca often so it’s always nerve wracking but Dana provided updates and took amazing care of our boy. I will absolutley rebook in the future and would recommend Dana to anyone looking! 10/10 experience!”

“Katherine was amazing! She was so great to work with, and very understanding about the comfort level of each kitty and what they needed. I would recommend her to anyone looking to leave their fur babies in kind and caring hands:)”
“This is the second time Briana has looked after our cats and it’s such a relief to travel knowing our cats are in good hands. We’ve been very impressed by her professionalism and responsiveness.”
“Jessica watched our two kittens while we were gone - she did a great job and made sure they were fed and played with! She provided great updates and we didn’t have to worry about our kittens at all because she took great care of them. Would 100% reccomend!”
“Jennifer took care of my 2 kitties. She provided updates with photos of the girls. Sometimes they can be shy and hide, but they both came out for her during each visit.”
“Kevin took great care of my cats and made me feel a lot better about leaving them alone for the first time. I was unusually anxious, but he came over to meet me and them and learn their routine, and made me feel comfortable right away. He was very patient with Biscuit, who's shy, and I could tell Mango felt comfortable around him. Will definitely book with him again the next time I need a cat sitter.”
“Kim was so awesome taking care of Luna! She followed all instructions and provided love/care for my cat. I've never booked a pet sitter but I'm glad I did with Kim she's so nice and responsive!”
“Chelsea was the absolute best! This was our first time using Rover and she made the entire process seamless. She took care of our Karmin while we were on vacation and treated her like she was her own. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again! 10/10 recommend”
“Sarah was the best cat sitter! She took such good care of our two cats while we were away. She sent a thorough update after every visit including pics of our cats. You can tell how much she loves animals! We definitely plan on using her again.”
“Xuni is absolutely wonderful! We always have complete peace of mind knowing our two cats are in such caring and capable hands. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and we honestly think our cats may enjoy spending time with Xuni almost as much as they enjoy having us home! We come back to two happy, well-cared-for cats every time. We couldn’t recommend Xuni more highly.”
“Kelly watched my 3 cats while we were away on our honeymoon. She was great! I came back to happy cats and she sent loads of pics during every check in. Highly recommend her!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Julia! Fitzy and Javi are extremely shy, fearful, and apprehensive around strangers, so I was very nervous about leaving them in someone else’s care. Julia went above and beyond to spend extra time with them, earn their trust, and make them feel safe and comfortable. She was always responsible, punctual, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I could tell she truly cared about my boys and treated them as if they were her own. Knowing they were in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter, and I cannot wait to book with her again in the future! Fitzy and Javi say, “Thank you, Julia! We hope to see you again soon!””
“Nicole took fantastic care of my little kitten! Hamilton is a young rescue, and had only been in his new home for a few weeks, so I was nervous leaving him for the weekend, but Nicole kept him safe, happy, and loved. She sent tons of pictures and great updates every day, and always knowing how he was doing was extremely comforting. I came home to a very happy little guy! Her love of animals is very clear and Hammy took to her right away. I appreciated her compassion, promptness, and professionalism and I would highly recommend using Nicole as your next pet sitter! She will certainly be my first choice when I need someone to care for Hammy in the future.”
“Kathy was great watching Samson while I was away! She was super communicative and went an extra mile when my cats autofeeder was not working! She gave peace of mind that he would be taken care of no matter what while I was gone!”
“Holly was great! This is the second time she watched our cat Cricket, but this time for a longer period, and it's clear from the pictures that Cricket was very happy with her! Holly was very communicative despite us being in a different time zone, and we loved the pictures she took. We'll definitely book with Holly again!”
“Jen was a punctual, knowledgeable, and reliable cat sitter from our first visit to the last check in. Her reports show her pertinent observations on changes in the cat’s play and feeding behavior with good solutions to these behaviors. She was also willing to bring in the mail and take out the trash while we were away. The cats were playful and engaged in the videos she posted. We recommend Jen as a pet sitter and will use her services in the future.”
“Caroline was great while watching our kitties while we were on vacation. I could truly relax and enjoy myself as I knew they were in good hands with Caroline. She sent picture updates throughout the week which always put a smile on my face. She even vacuumed and washed the sheets before we got home—Completely unexpected but very much appreciated!! We will definitely be using Caroline’s services when we go out of town next.”

“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”
About: I have always had a love and passion for animals. I have grown up with dogs, cats, chickens, even a pet turtle. Each animal brought me so much happiness and I considered my pets as family members. Growing up, I have cared for friends, neighbors, and family members pets. Animals made me who I am today! I have an open schedule as I am currently in between jobs. While on my job search, I want to spend my time around pets giving them love and care. I know the value of being a trustworthy, attentive, and reliable sitter. I have a clean spacious home, a yard, and I currently don’t own any pets of my own. Your pet will be treated like family here receiving lots of affection so they feel at home while you’re away.
About: I grew up taking care of dogs since high school! Friends have always called me the dog whisperer. Extremely patient with dogs and worked at a dog salon as a dog bather for 4 years. I do currently have a dog of my own, Bob, a Brussels Griffon. My partner, Dylan, and I work at home 4/5 days. We stagger our days so that someone is always home with the dogs and are never left at home alone. We both work together to make sure my dog and yours are interacting well with each other and are having a good time! We are happy to accommodate any dogs that need extra TLC during the work week from 8/8:30AM to 5:30PM. We are unable to do pick ups later than 5:30PM at this time. Your dog will be able to join us on our morning and midday walk! We only take one dog at a time to provide the highest quality care. I have an unfenced yard, but will always take your dog out leashed. Your dog will be a part of our family during the stay and is allowed on all furniture.
“Elaine is great with our lab. She is extremely flexible with pick and drop times and is very welcoming and friendly every time we meet her. Ingrid (our lab) loves being in her place and always excited to meet Elaine. Elaine is so good about feeding the dogs on time and keeping us informed of what the dogs are doing. Highly recommend her!”
“Melissa and her family took very good care of my pups when I needed last minute help. I was very grateful for their kindness and quick communication throughout the day. Will definitely use again when needed. Thank you!!”
“Our pup has enjoyed spending days with Dawn and it is especially nice for us to have a place where she can comfortably interact with young children, as we don’t have that opportunity to offer her at home. Dawn also has a great fenced in backyard with lots of interesting things to smell and ways to run around and work off energy, which is great for both our pup and for us when we pick her up and know that she’s had a fun filled active day!”
About: In my house or yours! What sets me apart is that I offer truly personalized, low-volume care in a calm home environment. Mine or yours. I only take one or two guest dogs at a time, so your dog gets lots of individual attention, affection, and supervision — not the chaos of a large kennel or crowded daycare setting. I’ve cared for six dogs of my own throughout my life and loved every one of them through all stages of life, including senior years and end-of-life care. I understand how important routines, patience, comfort, and trust are when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I love all dogs, but my home is especially well-suited for: • Dogs who prefer a quieter environment • Dogs needing medication or special routines • Dogs who don’t do well in large group settings • Dogs who are not friendly with other dogs* • Owners looking for flexible pickup/drop-off times Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced backyard, one daily leash walk, personalized feeding and medication schedules, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Plus flexible pick up and drop-off times. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and at home while you’re away. I am willing to take 3 dogs, but only if they all come from the same home. *If you require your dog to be the ONLY dog in the household, please reach out to me before booking. I work primarily from home, so dogs in my care receive lots of companionship, supervision, outdoor time, and attention throughout the day — not long periods left alone. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family with plenty of supervision, companionship, outdoor time, a daily walk, and personalized feeding or medication schedules. I only care for one or two dogs at a time to maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.
“Normally, when we pick Yoda from a day care or boarding he will express his unhappiness by barking at us trying to tell us he didn’t like it there. But when we picked him up from your place he was all happy and no barks very calm, it tells us he had a good time with you. Thank you for taking good care of him.”
About: Hi!! I'm Lauren, I love all animals, especially dogs, of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. From newfoundlands to bulldogs, I love them all! Conveniently, I am at home during the majority of the day so your dog will NOT be left alone or ignored! I am a very active person so if your dog requires lots of play or exercise, then i'm definately the caregiver for you! I will always guarantee that I will care for your dog, as if they were my own & shower them with plenty of love and attention! I genuinely believe that dogs are more than just a pet, but a real member of the family. Dogs are truly "man's best friend". I work part time so I’m home the majority of the day and night. Your dog is never alone as my pups are always with them. I have my own pets who have been raised amongst other dogs and are extremely friendly. They get along with anything that has a beating heart.
“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you could leave: We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lingwen! She took exceptional care of Max and treated him like he was part of her own family. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that she genuinely cared about his happiness, comfort, and well-being. Max came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We truly appreciated her kindness, attention to detail, and the personal touch she brought to every aspect of his care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated to caring for their pet. Thank you so much, Lingwen! 🐾❤️”
“Cosmo had a blast with Kenny! We dropped Cosmo off for daycare while we went to a local wedding. Kenny gave us several updates with adorable photos throughout the day. Cosmo was tuckered out after all the fun he had and even slept in late for us the next day. Thanks Kenny!”
“Joanne is so nice, extremely accommodating and takes great care of the dogs! I just started bringing my 1.5yr puppy to her and she is amazing with him, sends me pics and videos of all the fun he is having while he’s there …he truly LOVES going to Joanne for Doggy daycare! I HIGHLY highly recommend her!!!”
About: With over 15 years of experience as a retired, rewards-based dog trainer, I bring exceptional pet care expertise to the table. I have my own dog, so I understand the deep bond and special care pets require. My fenced yard provides a safe, spacious area for your pets to play and exercise. My background in training means I am skilled in managing puppies and providing attentive senior care, ensuring your pet's happiness and well-being while you're away. My dedication and personal touch set me apart from other sitters, offering a reliable and loving environment for your furry family members. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I work from home most days, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care. I take frequent breaks during the day to take pets out for playtime or leashed walks, often at the nearby state park. These walks typically last about an hour, depending on the weather. I ensure all walks are on-leash for safety. This routine allows me to balance my work and pet care effectively, ensuring your pet gets the attention and exercise they need. I have a very friendly Australian Labradoodle and three sons, ages 16, 15, and 11, who love having new dogs to play with. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they feel welcomed and comfortable in a family-friendly environment. My children enjoy playing and interacting with the pets, providing them with plenty of attention and stimulation.
“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.”
“Anastasia is an absolutely amazing dog sitter and trainer. She was a wealth of insight into my dog’s behavior. She taught me so much, and she is very trauma-informed in her approach. Would highly recommend if you have rescue dog.”
“Swetha was fast to communicate with and drop off and pick up was easy. Myrtle had SO much fun with Rusty!! She came home and was toast from playing so much. Highly recommend Swetha for wonderful care of your pup!”
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.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Northborough
Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve had dogs by my side since childhood and spent years horseback riding — so caring for animals is second nature for me! I adore dogs and cats of all personalities, and I bring a fun and upbeat energy to every walk. Whether your pup loves adventures (parks, trails, hikes, and swims!) or prefers a calm and leisurely stroll, I make sure they are safe, happy, and having fun. My four year old mix, Opie, can vouche for all the fun adventures☺️ I’m a local educator with a flexible schedule — typically free throughout the summer, plus evenings and weekends during the school year. Because I live and work locally, fitting walks into my daily routine is easy, and I’m able to offer consistent, reliable care for your pets. I often find myself heading home on my lunch breaks to give my own pup some extra attention. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My own yard is fully fenced in and always use secure leashes, follow your pet’s routine, and stay aware of surroundings during every walk. I’ve learned over the years just how important understanding your pets needs, warning signals, and comfort is, especially when out in public!
“Charles is great! She accepted our last minute request and did an amazing job with our three pups! She gained new loyal clients for sure. Thank you Chelsea! You will be highly recommended to our friends and family.”
About: I have had animals in my life all my life. I am comfortable working with dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also worked with animals that have special needs, specifically related to senior care. I am capable of giving meds and shots to animals. I currently work part-time for myself so I'm able to schedule around your animal's needs. I am able to walk animals up to three times today. The most important thing for an animal is to feel safe while it's owners are away. I am here to follow any routines that your pet already has to maintain a sense of security and calm.
“Ivan is an excellent dog sitter. He obviously loves dogs and he was attentive, calm, and thoughtful in his care. This was my first time using a dog sitter for taking my dog for walks, and I couldn't have gotten luckier in choosing Ivan to take my dog to the park and care obout my pet. Ivan takes the responsibility seriously and understands my dog behavior rather than treating it as a checklist. My dog usually has the anxieties. Ivan found the way to calm my dog and communicate with wonderful care. After couple walks withIvan my dog is very excited, waiting for Ivan to come and go to the park. Ivan isd professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would not hesitate to book Ivan again. I am highly recommend Ivan service.”
“Kim is professional, trustworthy, and gets along with our pet extremely well. Originally we were going to hire Kim for about three months due to our health but it’s stretched out almost 6 months now. We give Kim our highest recommendation.”
“Juliana was quick to respond to my request and arrived on time for the scheduled walk. She took great care of my dog and gave a thorough report of how the walk went!”
“Could not recommend her enough! She’s helped out my puppy journey so much. My pup loves when she comes over! He looks forward to it everyday! Also made sure to come over to met my dog before their first walk! Every responsible!!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since birth- literally. My first dog used to sleep in my crib with me! I’ve had 12 dogs so far throughout my life, and each one has taught me important lessons about love and responsibility. I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I’ve had dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I can safely administer medications, provide happy and fun play time, snuggle up on the couch with your pet, and tailor individualized needs based on your requests. I truly enjoy meeting and caring for dogs, and would love to meet yours :) I work full time as a night shift registered nurse and home care nurse in the greater boston area, and would like to make some extra money doing what I love; being around animals. My schedule is different every week, so my availability is very flexible! I am also home during the day when lots of people are away, and work when the world is asleep! I am adaptable to any environment, needs, or requirements for your pet. I am comfortable walking, crating, training, feeding, and administering meds to your pet! All I require is written or typed instructions to ensure it’s done properly and safely!
“I have booked Julia for countless walks because she takes excellent care of my puppy, ZuZu! She has always gone the extra mile to communicate with me and give ZuZu all the exercise and attention she needs. Zuzu is a very energetic dog and can be challenging to walk at times, but Julia has always been on top of doing what works best for her to get her energy out! She always sends plenty of pictures and makes sure ZuZu has what she needs before she leaves. She is awesome with having a flexible schedule and responding super quick to my last minute requests and schedule changes. I will absolutely keep using her to care for my girl!”
“Rose was the best! Responded so quickly and was able to help me out last minute. My golden puppy, Theo, had a fantastic time on his walk. Highly recommend Rose, we will be reaching out again for sure!”
About: Hi there! I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From growing up with pets to helping out friends and family with their dogs and cats, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience giving pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’ve also volunteered at dog daycares and animal shelters, where I learned how to handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I am currently working part time during the week but they are not long shifts so I will have a flexible schedule to be able to watch your pets. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. On walks, I make sure leashes are secure and choose safe routes that fit your dog’s pace and energy level. During drop in visits, I’ll refresh food and water, give plenty of love and attention, and ensure everything is safe and secure before I leave.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always loved being around animals. My own dog is a rescue who came from a difficult situation and had been mistreated before joining our family. Caring for her has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and earning a dog’s trust. I’ve also helped care for dogs for family and family friends by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. While I’m new to Rover, I’m responsible, dependable, and committed to treating every pet like my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work a flexible schedule, so my availability varies throughout the week. I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. When I’m with your pet, they’ll have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions, respect your home, and stick to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Alexandra was great! She took care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation in Ireland. We reserved Alexandra to come every morning to feed our pets and walk our dog (neighbors helped in the afternoons/evenings). Both pets loved her, and we felt comfortable being so far away. Alex kept us posted on how our pets were doing, and spent some extra time with them giving them the love they were missing while we were away.”
About: My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house. My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime. I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.
“We originally asked Caroline if she could walk and feed our two dogs as we were planning to a long day trip. However, we woke up to find our oldest dog not doing very well. It turned out that he had cancer and that we would have to put him down. It was a long agonizing day trying of running tests and considering options before finally deciding that the most humane treatment would be to euthanize. Through all this, we are thankful to Caroline who took care of our remaining fur children--a dog and a cat. It was a great relief to not have to think or worry about them so we could focus on our oldest dog in his time of need.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 9 yrs old. Have owned Alot of both and helped neighbors when I was young. I am currently a homemaker so I have Alot of time while the kids are in school to take care of your pets like they were my own. I have experience in many different breeds and temperaments. I understand dog and cat language. Love Fur babies! I also have 2 dogs of my own at this time.
About: I grew up with a dog from the age 3-16! My best friend has a Boxer and I've been taking care and watching him frequently since he was a puppy! I also worked at an office where the owners had two dogs, a small chihuahua and a greater Swiss mountain dog. I took them out for frequent walks & fed them, as well as watched them when the owners weren't around. I'm currently a Stay-Home-Mother. My son is 3 years old, so the pet must be toddler friendly. I am home most weekdays. I can be busy on weekends, but if I have an early heads-up, I can accommodate. I am flexible during the week and have a car to drive to my client's houses! I am willing to stop by and feed, play and walk your pet.
About: Hi, I’m Ally! I have an adorable dog-nephew who I have love and cared for like my own for a few years now. We love going on long walks, trips to the dog park, and relaxing around the house together. Aside from growing up with him, I have experience dog-sitting when my brother goes out of town. I frequently stay overnight at his house to ensure that Cuddles is well-fed and entertained. If given the opportunity, I will treat your fur-baby with the same unconditional love as my own! I have no doubt that we will have the best time walking, playing fetch, or just laying around together. You won’t have to worry about your pup while we’re out together, he or she will be in the best hands possible! **There will be an additional fee added for senior dogs. I currently work at a school so I am available for morning and overnight and/or drop in feedings/walks/potty times. Depending on the area, I may be able to drip in mid-day as well. I will follow all rules provided by pet owner to ensure the safety of both your pet, myself, and your home. I would like to meet the animals before accepting a job, just to build some familiarity between all of us.

“Vignesh is a very responsive, loving & caring pet care provider. Lali enjoyed the stay with Vignesh. I highly recommend Vignesh for your pets care when you are away.”
“Excellent experience across the board. Steve and Kira treat the pups like family and create an environment where they can play and rest and get all the TLC they need. They are easy to communicate with, provide photo updates, and don’t mind giving special diets and meds. The dogs are well screened to make sure the crew is all friendly, so they have a really positive social experience.”

“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!”
“Lauren and her husband took care of our Stella for a few days. They sent us updates and pictures of stella having a blast with the other doggies. Unfortunately they had a family emergency that forced them to take the dogs with them to the hospital in CT. We weren't able to pic up Stella as planned because of this, but when they could, they drove Stella to us in Leominster where we were staying. I admired the fact that they acted responsibly during this crisis and made sure the dogs they were caring for were safe and happy. We would definitely leave Stella again when back in the area. Jill P.”

“Paul is just the best. Very communicative and makes pick up & drop off super easy. Love the frequent picture updates of our dog’s staycations. Gives us peace of mind that Thomas is getting constant care and attention when we’re out of town. Thankful to have found Paul on Rover and I know Thomas is, too! Highly recommend.”
“Sarah was amazing with Piper! She communicated frequently, sent photos, and managed Piper's finicky eating habits with ease. It was clear from the photos that Piper was delighted to be spending time with Sarah's family! Piper will definitely return for another visit!”
