“Always 5 Stars! Ghost loves to go spend time with Cesar and the family! He knows as soon as we turn down the road (that Michael's house is on) he's headed to visit his friends! Michael and his wife and family are so wonderful! Kind, friendly, caring and exceptional to work with. They've taken amazing care of Ghost for years! I am so appreciative of their service and commitment.”

“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Mellisa and her family. My dog stayed twice with them and both times I was getting back happy and satisfied pet. Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”
“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!”
“My dog Simba spent his Thanksgiving with Gabriel. He is a male Golden Retriever, two and half years old. He needs a lot of exercise. He never lived anywhere before. I was very worried before leaving Simba with Gabriel. But he had a wonderful experience. He played a lot with other dogs, came home calm and relaxed. Gabriel has a good understanding of dogs and very confident. I am definitely coming back again.”
“We have been bringing our dog Pepper to Tamara and her family for several years now. It is comforting to know Pepper is well cared for when we are away. Sometimes she doesn’t want to leave! 10/10, highly recommend!”
“Jacquie is absolutely wonderful and my doggo Tippy had a lovely stay over at her house. She was so welcoming and asked insightful questions to get to know my dog prior to arrival to take the best care of her. She kept in contact and sent pictures while I was missing my dog which were super appreciated. Overall, absolutely great experience and will absolutely use again.”
“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!”
“Sue has watched my two pups twice now and I cannot express enough at how grateful and lucky I feel to have found her! She truly loves dogs and I know when they are there that they are being cared and loved for exactly as if they were home. My dogs are attached at my hip, but when we get to Sue’s house, they are clearly so happy to be with her that it makes leaving them a LOT easier. Sue has been able to set my mind at ease (which is not a simple task!) and is very trustworthy. I highly recommend her services, she is now definitely my go-to sitter!”
“We are SO thankful to have found Briana and her family! Winston has played at her house for daycare and just recently stayed with her for a week. I really appreciated all the pictures she sent everyday and have no doubt he had lots of fun playing with his doggy friends and being loved by Briana and her family! If you need a loving home away from home for your doggy, don’t hesitate to contact Briana!”
“Vignesh is amazing! He was incredibly caring and attentive to my dog’s needs. He kept me updated throughout, was very responsive to messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It’s clear he genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to ensure they’re well cared for. I highly recommend Vignesh to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“Lee was great !!! Always sent picture and video updates throughout his stay . My dog had a great time and I would definitely book Lee whenever I needed him !!! I highly recommend him !!”
“Emily was great, gave us plenty of updates of how Brodie was doing while he was under her care and was very easy to communicate and coordinate with. Would highly recommend and have her watch Brodie again!”
“Friendly, professional, and organized. Really nice guy, really nice place for dog-sitting. Kiwi came back from the weekend healthy and upbeat and he was super communicative by text.”
“For the 1st time I had to look for a sitter outside of family and friends for my fur baby Hugo.(due to last minute) While searching I was very fortunate that I came across the rave reviews about Andreana.k. I can attest they are all TRUE. Having to leave him for the 1st time with a stranger was nerve wrecking however her kind nature and willingness to stay with him last minute in addition to meet him hrs before his stay gave me and my family a peace of mind. She is awesome and we will definitely use her services again!! I highly recommend her. Thanks again Andreana Hugo will see you soon 😉”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Trixie! It’s greatly appreciated. While we hate leaving her, knowing someone else cares for her as much as we do makes it a little easier.”

About: We’ve always had pets at our house and cousins’ houses growing up, and as you’ve probably seen in my pictures, I always love being around animals! I’m starting a new position in a few months, and since I love animals, I thought that pet-sitting would be the perfect thing to do in the meantime! It is definitely important to make sure that the pets are taken outside often to go to the bathroom and move around with fresh air. It’s also important to read the body language of the pet- some pets need more exercise than others.
“This was my first time using Rover and my first time using Ann for my two 7-year-old kitties. Ann did an exceptional job. She showed up when she was supposed to and was very thorough and timely with her communication from beginning to end. I will use Ann again for sure! Thanks, Ann!!”
“Pat has been incredibly flexible, nice and patient!! My cat absolutely loved her stay and the love she got from Pat! I was so worried at first about her adjusting to a new place but she ended up loving being with Pat so much that when i picked her up she was treating her house as it if it was her own😂 She also became super comfortable around Pat in an incredibly fast period, which tells me she really trusted her!!”
“As my first experience with April caring for Nova, I am already at ease. I am very particular about my pup and I can already tell I’ve lucked out with April. Thank you! 💜🐾”
About: I have owned cats my whole life, and currently own two indoor cats. I am comfortable caring for cats of all personalities and needs from playful and affectionate to shy and independent. I understand that some cats need time and space to warm up, and I’m always patient and gentle in letting them come to me at their own pace. I’m happy to handle feeding, water, litter boxes, playtime, medication, and whatever routine helps your cat feel comfortable and cared for. 😸🩷
“Eko and Sarah did an excellent job cat sitting for us! Before the booking they came and met the cats, and we were immediately impressed with the very thoughtful questions and the thorough note taking. They seemed to really understand cats, and asked some insightful questions I hadn’t even thought of. One of our cats has a medical condition that requires regular medicine, and they took it very seriously, and even offered to check in on her again for free during the day to confirm she was ok. They even found a way to get our more picky cat to eat when they were there (treats on the food!) The regular updates and cat photos were great, and really gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation.”
“John did a great job house sitting and caring for our two cats, Cleo and Pico. He kept us updated with messages and photos, and we came home to happy cats and a spotless house. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thanks John!”
“This was my 2nd time booking with Alison, I was so happy to know she was available for the time I was away again. She’s great to communicate with and always sends tons of photos during her visits 😊”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Paxton
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“We were pleased with Michael’s care for our beagle while we both had to be away for the day. Michael has obviously worked hard to make his place human- and dog-friendly. He was conscientious about sending pictures and updates during the day.”
“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: I have been taking care of the dogs and cats since I was a very young, the age of 14 and I absolutely love animals. I’m home full-time. So taking care of your pet with love cuddles is no problem i have a large yard and part of it fully fenced in. I do have security cameras inside and outside to protect all animals in my home. I am very good about sending lots of updates so you can see your pet having lots of fun. I pride myself on being a home away from home! I’m full time at home so i have nothing but time to spend hanging out, playing and spoiling your pet when you are away! I love being outside I have a big house they can come in to cool off or warm up depending on weather. I have a large yard mostly fenced and a smaller area fully fenced.
“Melissa and her husband were phenomenal with Cookie and Biscuit. They loved Casper so much. They were very accommodating and were very flexible with me which was so amazing. Melissa sent me pictures and kept me updated throughout there stay. I was so happy with the service, my babies were happy and exhausted ready for bed lol!! I will most definitely be rebooking!!”
“Lindsey was very easy to work with and quick to respond. Bailey had a great day, kept busy, made some new friends and enjoyed her walks. We appreciated the pictures that were taken of their activities during the day. Highly recommend and thank you Lindsey!”
“Our dog has a great time with Lee! We were looking for a slower paced daycare option as she gets older (daycare facilities tend to be too overwhelming for her), so Lee and his dog Sharif have been a great alternative for keeping her entertained, but not completely overwhelmed / exhausted.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life but have owned my own dog for the past 4 years. I am constantly watching my friend's dogs while they are away and know how important it is to have someone to trust and provide a loving and caring home away from home for your pet while you are away! I currently work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! I have a highly energetic dog, so we take several walks during the day and then I take her to nearby parks with trails after work. I'm available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have a medium sized fenced in yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fir baby company! My dog has free reign of the house and is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed but can also crate your dog if needed.
“Brenda was great! She helped us out a lot by caring for our two pups for 9 hours while we were away. They had a great time with her and her husband and we’ll be scheduling with her again!”
“Alexis was such a kind and patient sitter! She immediately knew how to handle Louis with him being so small and even cleaned up an accident he had indoors! Her dog and Louis got along so well and we would absolutely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Pippa has another stellar visit with Andreana and Milo. I booked the day on short notice and Andreana was very accommodating. Pippa was a very happy pup when I came to pick her up and showed that she had a great time once again”
“Jacky took very good care of our puppy Tucker! He is 3 months old and she was so kind, patient, loving. We are so appreciative that he was able to hangout with her dogs, roam around the yard, and have a nap time buddy! Jacky was great with food, walks, communication. We are so appreciative to have found her!!”
“Our new puppy had a fantastic day with Amy and her other dogs as well!! He came home happy and exhausted!! I was lucky to find her so quickly and for her to be so quick to respond to my last minute need for her!! We will continue with Amy and I know just from day one Jack was wicked happy!! So that means we are!! Woot Woot!!”
“My puppy has been traveling with me a few months now and after using several sitters here on Rover, i can confidently say Katheryn is absolutely amazing and among the best of the best. She was a pleasure communicating with and once your pup is in her care, she goes above and beyond keeping you informed on literally EVERYTHING via text, photos and videos. She asked questions when she needed clarification on feeding schedules and supplied a harness after I forgot to pack one in Myla's bag. She even offered the harness for Myla to keep when she thought she didn't have one. If you want absolute peace of mind in knowing your dog is being cared after, exercised and in competent and loving hands, Katheryn is it. Myla is a 7 Ib., 4 month old puppy and I left her with Katheryn and her very sweet, significantly larger 20 lb. dog and found them both to be the best company for her the entire day while I was skiing in Massachusetts. I cannot say enough here, but Katheryn's level of care and attention here on Rover is bar none and I would absolutely use her services again. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”
“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!!”
“Molly is so great with our standard poodle puppy! He’s always super excited to get to her house and tired and happy when he gets back home. Molly is very communicative — sharing pictures and updates during the day and letting us know how everything went when we pick him up. We’re so glad to have found Molly and would absolutely recommend her to other dog owners!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for over a decade. I can promise both reliable care and excellent communication while watching your pet. I am a stay at home Mom so my schedule for pet sitting is very flexible. I can visit as often as your pet needs. Pets will be fed, cuddled, and messes will always be cleaned. My hope is that your pet will continue to feel right at home even with their owner gone.
“Ashleigh was incredible with my dog Tor. He has endless energy and yet came home totally exhausted from his day. Ashleigh was so flexible and helpful, I felt totally safe leaving Tor in her hands. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve raised five dogs from puppyhood and have worked with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, and small mammals, making me a reliable choice for families with diverse pets who need patient, knowledgeable support. I offer fully open availability, providing flexible, reliable care whenever your pets need support. My schedule is built around consistency and convenience for pet parents, and every visit reflects my commitment to animal welfare. As I grow my business, I’m also working toward my long‑term dream of opening a multi‑species rescue to help even more animals thrive. I care for pets in the way that keeps them happiest and most comfortable. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, medication, and any house rules your pet already knows—so their day feels familiar and stress‑free. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with structured potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, drop‑ins, boarding, or overnights, I make sure every pet gets individualized care, consistent communication, and a calm, loving experience.
“Ann was great! I contacted her on short notice, the day before a trip out of town. She was very accommodating. Rosie loved her at first sight. She was very attentive to our requests and made sure she knew exactly was Rosie needed while we were gone. After she walked Rosie, she sent a detailed message of her visit that included a bunch of pictures. I’m extremely satisfied with her services and will be contacting her again.”
“Daniela was such a pleasure walking our Great Pyrenees, Colby!!! He gets SO excited to see her and would come back in such a good mood. She provided excellent updates each walk and always on time and highly communicative. HIGHLY recommend Daniela!”
“Gabriela was excellent! She was very responsive and our pup was in great hands with her! Our 7 month old puppy had a blast on her walk and we will certainly reach out to Gabriela in the future”
“Lindsay was amazing! She took my request last minute due to a family emergency and was so kind and accommodating. We had a great meet and greet, and she took wonderful care of my shy dog, Georgia. She sent great updates and made me feel completely at ease. Georgia really took to her, which says a lot. I would absolutely book with Lindsay again!”
“John, has come in clutch a number of times when we’ve had last minute plans (which is often for my family). He provides great updates and images that allow us to see how well he’s taking care of Marley!”
“Pat came and walked Leia again on Saturday and Leia was happy to see her. Leia was a little anxious as she had been recovering from dental surgery and had been more restricted for a couple of weeks, but Pat was able to build Leia's confidence and convince her to go further when Leia was initially reluctant. Pat is very good and patient with Leia's little quirks and helped her go further and enjoy the opportunity to go further beyond our yard. Leia was calmer and content with her walk.”
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs since I was young. Responsible, patient, and attentive, I love connecting with dogs beyond the bare minimum, giving them real love and attention. I am a full time student, my classes end around noon time, the latest being 1:45 on Fridays. I have a part time job as well, but my work schedule is very flexible as I can pick the days I work in advance. My home is a safe and welcoming space for dogs. I have a large, fenced backyard where they can play and explore. I live with my parents, which just means even more love for the future pups! I have a small Chihuahua who mostly keeps to herself, but if any issues arise, there’s enough space in the house to separate them. If your dog needs a crate, I can accommodate for that too!
“Louca worked wonders for us and our super reactive miniature dachshund. His patience, knowledge, and professional and positive attitude were a huge relief after searching for and failing to find someone to look after our dog when we were away for short periods. Louca has given us so much hope for our little puppy’s future and we look forward to working with him again! Thank you Louca !!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and I love animals in general. I am patient, experienced, caring and gentle, Rocky Kanaka is someone I look up to. My top priority is making sure your baby feels safe and cared for as though I am family too. I would love to get to know your baby I am available on weekends primarily. I can be available for visits and care from 12-2 Monday thru Friday provided there's no scheduling conflicts. I can take extra time or increase my availability during the week with advanced notice. I carefully follow any instructions left for me, and having had experience caring for my boy, I know keeping your baby safe is the most important part of care that I provide. I am careful to keep an eye on any animal I care for to make sure they don't have the opportunity to run outside off leash

About: Hi there! I'm Erin, a dedicated mother and lifelong animal enthusiast.

From dogs to cats and everything in between, I've had the pleasure of nurturing and pampering a wide variety of pets. My journey into pet care started years ago when I began volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats in need. Over time, my passion evolved into a profession, and I've been providing top-notch pet sitting and dog walking services ever since. What sets me apart is the personal touch I bring to every interaction. As a mother, I understand the importance of family, and that includes our beloved pets. That's why I love nothing more than including my own children in our pet visits and walks. Your furry companions not only get the care and attention they deserve but also the joy of interacting with a fun-loving family. At home, our household is a bustling hub of activity, filled with the laughter and energy of children. Alongside my small and sociable Jack Russell Terrier mix and clever cat, we create a warm and welcoming environment for pets of all shapes and sizes.

So, if you're seeking reliable and compassionate pet care services that treat your furry friends like family, look no further. Because when it comes to your pets, they deserve nothing but the best!

I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a routine that caters to their individual preferences and requirements. By limiting my bookings, I can ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve without feeling rushed or overlooked. Whether it's a one-time visit or a long-term arrangement, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that exceeds both pet and owner expectations. In essence, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the heart of my daily life, and I'm dedicated to making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and cherished in my care. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities.

In our home, your pet will have plenty of room to roam and play, whether they're chasing toys, lounging in cozy corners, or enjoying some quality cuddle time. I understand that some pets may feel more comfortable in their own crates, and I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences to ensure they feel safe and secure during their stay. Outside of our home, we love to explore and embrace the great outdoors, making long evening walks around neighborhoods or adventures in the woods a regular part of our routine. Whether your pet enjoys a leisurely stroll or prefers a brisk run, we're committed to providing the exercise and stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it's a staycation in our cozy home or a familiar visit to yours, you can trust our family to provide the personalized care and attention your pet deserves.

About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them.

I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company.

About: We’ve always had pets at our house and cousins’ houses growing up, and as you’ve probably seen in my pictures, I always love being around animals! I’m starting a new position in a few months, and since I love animals, I thought that pet-sitting would be the perfect thing to do in the meantime!

It’s also important to read the body language of the pet- some pets need more exercise than others.
About: From social to skiddish, cuddly to aggressive, I really have a soft spot for any kitty I’ve gotten to know and taking care of them is second nature to me. Most recently, I’ve lived with a very sweet and very spicy cat Sasha, so patience has been key! For the past few years, I have taken care of an incredible golden retriever named Frieda in Southern Vermont. She is nearly 13— we go on twice-daily walks, I brush and trim her long fur, and I make sure she's comfortable around her two kitty relatives in the house. I will be happy to provide this care for your dogs as well, meeting them where they are at in terms of walking, socializing, and other kinds of care I can provide. I am new to Worcester and beginning a graduate school program at MCPHS. I have both remote and in-person classes, but will have ample time everyday to make room for cat care! I am extremely patient when it comes to pet care and I know that it may take time for your pets to warm up to me. I have a warm and gentle presence that will make your kitties and pups and other pets feel safe and comfortable. Much of my pet-sitting in past years has included house-sitting as well, so rest assured that your home is in good hands.
About: When I had my two dogs I would watch them whenever I needed to and would provide the care that they needed. I love all dogs and will pet them whenever I get the chance. If I can be around dogs/ cats I will be. I like to take my own dogs for walks and exercise/ do physical activity with them daily. A lot of my family members have dogs and I like to spend quality time with them and be with them when I have the chance. As an athlete myself I understand the importance of exercise if a dog needs to go for a run I am more than happy to take them for one so we both can enjoy our time together. I’m looking forward to hopefully spending time with some new furry friends! I am going to be on summer break and work at my job every other Saturday and Sunday from 3-7 as a definite schedule and weekly shifts can vary based on the week. Depending on if I have work or not my availability will be different. I have a fenced in yard and lots of experience with taking care of animals as I have had a variety of different pets. I know how important pets are to families, so I would never put one in harms way.

You will also receive a ton of pictures and videos from me of your fur babies. I look forward to meeting your kitty(s)! I am a licensed esthetician and have my own small business along with babysitting a couple hours everyday. I have a good amount of availability, it just depends on the day/time.

“Always 5 Stars! Ghost loves to go spend time with Cesar and the family! He knows as soon as we turn down the road (that Michael's house is on) he's headed to visit his friends! Michael and his wife and family are so wonderful! Kind, friendly, caring and exceptional to work with. They've taken amazing care of Ghost for years! I am so appreciative of their service and commitment.”

Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”
“My dog Simba spent his Thanksgiving with Gabriel. He is a male Golden Retriever, two and half years old. He needs a lot of exercise. He never lived anywhere before. I was very worried before leaving Simba with Gabriel. But he had a wonderful experience. He played a lot with other dogs, came home calm and relaxed. Gabriel has a good understanding of dogs and very confident. I am definitely coming back again.”

If you need a loving home away from home for your doggy, don’t hesitate to contact Briana!”

“For the 1st time I had to look for a sitter outside of family and friends for my fur baby Hugo.(due to last minute) While searching I was very fortunate that I came across the rave reviews about Andreana.k. I can attest they are all TRUE. Having to leave him for the 1st time with a stranger was nerve wrecking however her kind nature and willingness to stay with him last minute in addition to meet him hrs before his stay gave me and my family a peace of mind. She is awesome and we will definitely use her services again!! I highly recommend her. Thanks again Andreana Hugo will see you soon 😉”

“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.”
“Judy was an awesome host to our dog in her home. Our dog threw her some curveballs, as he can be a bit of a rascal, and she took everything in stride and was extremely patient with him. She kept us updated and gave us complete ease that she was taking excellent care, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Judy, we would love to have King stay again!”
