“I would highly recommend Daran! He took our 80 pound German Shepherd Delta for 3 days and we couldn’t be more happier. He provided daily updates with photos,videos, walks and playtime.He cared for Delta as if she was his own. Thank-you Daran for a great experience!”
“Kari was absolutely amazing with my dog! Maisy received lots of love and attention with long walks, fun games, snuggle time, and belly rubs - all of it right by Kari’s side ❤️ I received lots of photos and updates along the way, this was a match made in heaven, we would love to come back next summer!”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Mike and Kelly are the best. Bella loves staying there and playing with their dogs. Mike is super communicative and always sends updates. We highly recommend them. Your dog will have a blast!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 9. I’ve owned aggressive / reactive dogs, dogs who need a lot of management, sport dogs, working dogs, and other animals with special needs. My personal dogs are elderly now and need more special care and I conduct all of it. I do drop ins, dog walking, and house sitting by myself but for boarding dogs me and my mom do that together (we are Angie’s pet care) that way our boarding dogs are with at least one person 24/7. I have a well fenced in yard and basement entirely dedicated to dogs! You can look us up at Angie’s pet care (Middleboro Mass). But our boarding dogs are allowed to be on the other floors with us (only when supervised) but someone is home majority of the day.
“Shatane and her family were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They sent great updates of how they were doing and amazing pictures and videos. Have both my dogs plenty of exercise outside in the backyard and treated them as if they were their own. It made a week of travel less stressful to know my two were taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”
“Sarah took our pup for a week while my family went on vacation. She was wonderful with daily updates and photos (great communication). Will definitely be using her again. Our pup was happy and comfortable”
“Seonmin was a wonderful dog sitter! She sent updates often, gave Winnie a lot of exercise and was always quick to reply to my crazy dog mom check ins :) I highly recommend her! (And her dog Sam is a sweetheart!)”
“Sheryl and her family were absolutely incredible with our dog! I get so nervous leaving my dog with new sitters but Sheryl made me feel so ease. She ensured her sweet dog and mine had a positive introduction and sent me updates on how Rudy was doing while we were away. Thanks to Sheryl and her family I was able to relax and enjoy my trip without worrying about how Rudy was doing. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Alysia was fantastic to deal with, before and during the boarding. Her and her daughter took wonderful care of our two dogs and gave them a very "homely experience" . They provided updates everyday on how the boys were doing to help put us at ease. I would board with her in the future. Thank you!”
“Deb is just amazing. She has a great house with lots of dogs and a great safe yard. She knows so much and is exactly what you could look for in a boarder. My dog had a blast and I will be going back with 100% certainty ! I cannot thank her enough and all I can say is she is exactly what you are looking for on here and so much more!”
“Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“This was the second stay Koda and Rosie had with Rebekah. She did such a good job with keeping them entertained and sending me updates and pictures! Thank you again!”
“Melissa is AWESOME! Jagger always has a blast. He runs right to her when she picks him up. I feel very comfortable knowing Jagger is with her, safe, and having so much fun!!!”

“I am grateful to Marcia for taking such good care of my dog. Marcia has extensive experience with dogs and knows a lot about them. My dog was reluctant to leave her when I was picking it up. I am very happy with everything and would contact Marcia first if I need someone to look after my dog in the future.”
“I was very satisfied with Ryan's care of our dog. He communicated constantly before, during, and after the boarding to alleviate any confusion. He was also considerate in making her feel comfortable in her new environment. I appreciated that Ryan offered to give a a wash and nail trimming at a very affordable rate. This I thought set Ryan apart from other people that we have had watch our dog. We will certainly rebook with Ryan next time we are in the area.”

“Justine was an amazing find for us on Rover! She is a natural with animals as a vet tech, and she quickly built rapport with our two dogs. She is professional, prompt, and very easy to work with. Strongly recommend with 5 stars!”
“Quinn did a great job with our twin ginger cats!!! We really appreciated her presence and care, and loved seeing notes and pictures of the cats each day while we were away. Quinn is a great communicator!!!”
“Had such a great, easy experience with Sydney! The dogs absolutely love her and she really is a dog whisperer. My dogs aren’t the easiest and yet they are so calm with her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker”
About: I’ve had dogs basically my whole life and have always cared for friends’ and family’s dogs as well. I have a love for all animals of all shapes and sizes! I would love a career working with animals in the future, and I would love all the experience I can get! I am available early mornings and afternoons, but I’m always willing to accommodate with others’ schedules! I am always willing to care for pets in the comfort of their own home! I find it great to maintain their schedule as much as possible. I’m always calm and patient with all pets!
About: I started caring for animals back in 2010 walking and pet sitting my art teacher's dog. Then, in 2016, I began volunteering at a horse boarding facility. I spent a winter there learning how to bathe, feed, turn out, clean up after and care for horses. I learned about their different personalities and eventually tried riding (I wasn't very good at it.) Since then I have been looking for more opportunities to spend time with animals! I currently volunteer at a local animal shelter, assisting in the well-being of rescue cats and dogs. We play outside, go for walks, and socialize! Safe handling and open communication with fellow volunteers and pet owners is always a priority. General care such as cleaning, laundry, and medication administration are also things I can assist with. I have two beautiful black cats at home named Luna and Cleo. They are very vocal and sweet, and I love spending time with them. They love treats and bird TV. We are also fostering a small cat named Rosie who needs a little extra patience. She is a very loving cat overall, but is still getting used to her new environment. As far as my schedule, I work a regular job during the week, and on weekends I volunteer at an animal shelter. Im looking to fill gaps in my schedule by spending more time with animals and gaining as much experience as I can. Weekends and nights are open for me to take jobs helping with other peoples animal friends. I am comfortable crating your dog if needed, and am also comfortable around anxious or stressed animals. I will be diligent in keeping all the animals safe from harm by paying close attention to their body language, behavior, and their individual needs.
“Jared was so great at communicating, super friendly and easy to talk to. I knew my cat would be in good hands immediately. My cat is 20 and I felt like Jared would be great for a drop in visit. He left a very detailed description on rover for which I was glad. Highly recommended!”
“I had such a great experience with Alyssa! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about my pets while I was away. I received updates and photos that gave me peace of mind, and my pets looked happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I got home. It’s obvious she genuinely love animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust Alyssa again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
“It was the first time Darcy cared for my two young cats and she did so with warmth, devotion and care. We didn't know Darcy at first, so she came to visit on two separate occasions (!!) to meet my cats prior to my trip. She fed them morning and evening according to their baseline expectations and ensured that the kitty litters were always clean. They played with her and even my younger cat who is very shy warmed up readily to her and didn't want her to leave! Darcy also texted me updates and photos after each visit (so I wouldn't worry). I highly recommend Darcy: not only for the exquisite care but for her warm, kind, caring and considerate personality which animals so appreciate (especially when their families are away). Thank you, Darcy and for Rover for bringing you to us!”
About: My life has included dogs for as long I can remember and I have always seemed to read them intuitively, including “problem dogs” that others have difficulty interacting with. I have extensive personal dog handling and grooming experience over the past 25 years and have owned up to 6 dogs at a time. I currently have a 10 year old Chihuahua-mix named Kitty but I have experience training and caring for Border Collies, American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, Irish Terriers, Wire Fox Terriers, Poodle mixes, Great Danes, and a Wolf-German Shepherd hybrid. I am knowledgeable about canine body language and how to remain calm around anxious/fearful/aggressive dogs as well as how to redirect dogs from potential conflicts. I own and operate an event-services business which runs primarily on the weekends, allowing me to offer dog care Monday through Friday and on certain weekends as available. I am able to care for dogs according to their owner’s needs and requests. This may include administering medication, changing diapers, feeding, walking or just spending time with.

“Justine is fantastic! Justine took care of my dog while I was at a conference, and she was extremely responsive and was constantly sending pictures of Teddy having fun. I can't say enough good things and highly recommend Justine.”
“Melissa took great care of our Mandy who is a senior dog and needs a little extra help. She was great in letting us know how Mandy was doing and we greatly appreciate Melissa’s communication.”
“Kevin was awesome with handling my rambunctious golden retriever during his daycare. Very big yard for all the dogs to play in. I appreciate the pictures. Thank you! Will be coming back for boarding this time!”
About: Hi! What makes me different is I enjoy my time being spent with the pups. I will always have my attention on the pup. I will make sure he eats goods take him to the nearest by park, walk them around, play with them inside. I have a fenced in yard and if your dog loves hiking I have a hiking trail behind my neighborhood also have a beach close by if there a beach kinda pup. I make sure to interact as much as I can and allowed so they don’t feel so upset the owner is gone I know it can be hard. I am also very reliable. I want nothing more than to make a good experience for the pup and owner as I would expect that for my own pup! please reach out and let me know how I can make this a great experience for you. Looking forward to working with new pups! I work part time. But I would like this to be the job I mostly work I love animals especially caring for them and making sure they have good experience. I will make sure the dog is always being watched especially the little ones. I will make sure it’s safe for everyone in every sceneries.
“First visit for Otis was a success! Rebecca was awesome dealing with our dogs anxiety in "new" places. Her and her children treated him like one of the family. Thanks guys. Ps: The pictures are a great touch.”
“So impressed and happy to have found these guys! I felt great energy and ease leaving my giant fur baby for an afternoon. Not only did I get about 10 pictures of him during his stay, but updates on their activities, his food and water consumption, his bathroom visits, and more. They left us with a happy and EXHAUSTED (win) dog, and an adorable goodie bag to go with it. Will definitely use them again!”
About: Our mission is to offer people a simple, affordable option for boarding their pets: to keep them fed, safe and company while you're away. There's nothing worse than doubling the price of your vacation just to get your pets looked after! We keep our boarding price more than reasonable to give folks the financial bandwidth to spend their vacation money on their vacation--not on boarding their pets. We are both contract workers with flexible schedules, and Taylor is often able to work from home so your pets will have plenty of companionship! So we told you our mission-- There's a few ways this translates. We have a huge yard. So, we don't take your pups on walks. BUT. We play fetch, tug of war, and intentionally initiate zoomies. If your pup is conditioned to expect walks, it's probably most fair to find a sitter who'll get that walk in! We love a good daytime cuddle, but we also like a good night's rest. So, your pets sleep in the living room, helping us avoid chaos while we're getting shut-eye. We kindly ask that if you book with us, that you're confident your doggies can sleep out on their own without too much fuss! We have an array of options for creating ideal environments for your pets, with baby gates, a large yard that can be segmented for dogs needing smaller spaces or space from others, and multiple kennels. Coming soon, an electric fence with an extra collar for your pup if you'd like it!

“Jackie and Bill were awesome hosts: our 11 month Golden Retriever had a chance to interact with other dogs and Jackie also did some basic training while she had Coco with her. The setting is fantastic, with large and secure fenced-in yard, Jackie and Bill have tons of dog experience and they were very graciously flexible with extending Coco's visit when we got delayed at the last minute. Overall we couldn't have asked for a better situation for Coco!”

About: We’ve both had dogs our entire life and can’t see life any other way! Together we raised our current dog (Omaha) since he was just 10 weeks and are always excited to have additional dogs around. We are definitely a “dog dad duo” and we’d like to think we’re pretty good at it! Both of us are around during the day (one works from home and the other works nights). We have walking/nature trails literally in our backyard and they are very shaded (for those hotter summer days) and we also have a dog park on-site and close (if you’re comfortable with your dog(s) playing with others). Either way, we’re both around consistently to ensure your dog has a fun, comfortable stay. We have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment, nice shaded balcony and, as mentioned, access to trails and parks on-site. Whether your dog is active or more content to lounge around, we’re happy to accommodate. Additionally, we’re both very communicative and able to get updates out that meet your needs. We both are home during the week (one of us works nights and the other works remotely); meaning your dog(s) will always be well taken care of! We love to offer a nice cool apartment for your senior dogs to chill in, our on-site dog park and/or natural trails for your more active pups. We’re both very active with our own dog (Omaha) so we look forward to welcoming your family members too! Most importantly, we want to know how YOU care for your dog(s) at home so that we can try to incorporate as much of the same at our home! If your dog has certain quirks or special needs, we want to make sure that we are well aware so your pet has a fantastic stay. End of the day, we just hope to offer a comfortable, fun stay for your pet while you’re away for a day, week or longer.

I will do my best to form a trusting bond between me and your pet or pets. I love incorporating games and learning into my visits!
About: Had a 5 month old pup at aged 9 (also had a dominant cat) taught her basics and more over time until she needed medication due to her old age. Looked after friends senior dog which needed meds with food and their other dog that had special dietary needs including medication 3 times a day. House and dog&cat sat for friends that would go away to France for a long weekends I have plenty of time to give care and attention. I am not working at the moment and in between job maybe this is my calling we have a lot of space in the home and in the yard. We do not have any of our own pets yet, but we are talking a lot about them. We have a large 4ft fenced in grass yard and a large basement to allow for off leash freedom to play regardless of weather. Over the back fence we have active cranberry bogs with loads of open space and smells perfect for long walks. I am a fast walker and happy to cover 3-5 miles on a walk. Any fur-babies that need to stay overnight will be looked after like they are my own. I’ll send lots of pictures and make sure your pet is comfortable with as much attention as it needs.

Pet care is currently one of my main priorities, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule and provide pets with the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as weekends and many holidays. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, medication, playtime, or companionship, I strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I communicate promptly and provide updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Caring for animals is more than just a job to me—it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I have over 20 years of experience in healthcare, am a licensed Massachusetts Community Health Worker, and volunteer and foster with the MSPCA of Cape Cod and It’s All About the Animals, Rochester where I regularly care for and foster cats of all ages, including those requiring medications and special medical care. I understand how important it is to earn your trust, so I carefully follow every instruction regarding feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, and household routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensure doors and gates remain secure, and always provide detailed updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, especially dogs. My first pup was an Irish Setter when I was just four, and over the years my family rescued many dogs — including plenty of Basset Hounds — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. I’m now a cat owner as well — it’s a new experience, but one I’ve grown to love. At the moment, I’m available nearly every day, including weekends, thanks to a flexible work schedule. I’m happy to work around your needs and adjust as things come up. My kids are fully grown, so I have some more time on my hands! I’m completely comfortable crating dogs when needed, and I’m confident handling daily walks, potty breaks, and general exercise routines to make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well‑cared for.
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet sitter with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds, and I’m comfortable watching multiple dogs at once while making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I have experience administering oral medications, supporting dogs with special needs (including helping care for a blind dog), and adjusting care routines to fit each pet’s personality and abilities. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my top priorities. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for cats and guinea pigs, so I’m happy to help out in multi-pet households. I am a dog groomer, which has strengthened my understanding of dog behavior, handling, and overall pet wellness. I am available most of the day. I am working as a dog groomer so when I am not working with a dog I am available for pet care! It easy to work my schedule around what a pet parent may need! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will keep your animal in designated areas if directed to do so. I am comfortable walking any size dog or if you have a fenced in yard I can watch your dog there.
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire adult life. I have become the go to for dog sitting among all my friends and family, and even my work place! I have watched dogs from puppy to senior. I have experience administering medication, ensuring correct schedules with feedings, and am an expert at making sure the pet is getting all the exercise and attention they need! I also have worked with a shelter walking, caring for, and even taking for visits dogs of many breeds and ages. At this time I cannot accept bookings for female dogs over 30lbs. I currently work entirely remote with flexibility for walks and drop ins as needed anytime during the day! Scheduling and time away from pet can be discussed for a pet by pet basis. Any further questions and additional details can be provided! I have a very large but fenced in yard. I have two cats who are immune to dogs and generally pretend they aren’t there when we have dog sat in the past. I also have two dogs of my own! Unfortunately at this timeI cannot accept bookings for female dogs over 30lbs, as one of my boys has a temperament against them. Male dogs of any size and smaller female dogs he adores! I am a combination of active and homebody so your pet will simultaneously get unlimited cuddles and all the exercise in my care!
About: I've had dogs my entire life and all have lived healthy long lives. I've pet sat for friends and family. I think all pets should have the chance to stay in the comfort of home and be cared for while their owners are away. During my school year (September to June) I am available weekends and during school breaks. During the summer months I'm available daily. I look forward to discussing options with you. I treat all pets as if they're my own. I have a little boy who can't get enough puppy/dog time. I'd love for him to join me and learn more about pet care for when he gets his own dog. We have an elderly dog currently and he wants a puppy. We will be kind, playful, and loving to your fur baby.

Maisy received lots of love and attention with long walks, fun games, snuggle time, and belly rubs - all of it right by Kari’s side ❤️ I received lots of photos and updates along the way, this was a match made in heaven, we would love to come back next summer!”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 9. I’ve owned aggressive / reactive dogs, dogs who need a lot of management, sport dogs, working dogs, and other animals with special needs. My personal dogs are elderly now and need more special care and I conduct all of it. I do drop ins, dog walking, and house sitting by myself but for boarding dogs me and my mom do that together (we are Angie’s pet care) that way our boarding dogs are with at least one person 24/7. I have a well fenced in yard and basement entirely dedicated to dogs! You can look us up at Angie’s pet care (Middleboro Mass). But our boarding dogs are allowed to be on the other floors with us (only when supervised) but someone is home majority of the day.
“Shatane and her family were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They sent great updates of how they were doing and amazing pictures and videos. Have both my dogs plenty of exercise outside in the backyard and treated them as if they were their own. It made a week of travel less stressful to know my two were taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”
“Sarah took our pup for a week while my family went on vacation. She was wonderful with daily updates and photos (great communication). Will definitely be using her again. Our pup was happy and comfortable”
“Seonmin was a wonderful dog sitter! She sent updates often, gave Winnie a lot of exercise and was always quick to reply to my crazy dog mom check ins :) I highly recommend her! (And her dog Sam is a sweetheart!)”
“Alysia was fantastic to deal with, before and during the boarding. Her and her daughter took wonderful care of our two dogs and gave them a very "homely experience" . They provided updates everyday on how the boys were doing to help put us at ease. I would board with her in the future. Thank you!”
“Deb is just amazing. She has a great house with lots of dogs and a great safe yard. She knows so much and is exactly what you could look for in a boarder. My dog had a blast and I will be going back with 100% certainty ! I cannot thank her enough and all I can say is she is exactly what you are looking for on here and so much more!”
“Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“This was the second stay Koda and Rosie had with Rebekah. She did such a good job with keeping them entertained and sending me updates and pictures! Thank you again!”
“I am grateful to Marcia for taking such good care of my dog. Marcia has extensive experience with dogs and knows a lot about them. My dog was reluctant to leave her when I was picking it up. I am very happy with everything and would contact Marcia first if I need someone to look after my dog in the future.”
“I was very satisfied with Ryan's care of our dog. He communicated constantly before, during, and after the boarding to alleviate any confusion. He was also considerate in making her feel comfortable in her new environment. I appreciated that Ryan offered to give a a wash and nail trimming at a very affordable rate. This I thought set Ryan apart from other people that we have had watch our dog. We will certainly rebook with Ryan next time we are in the area.”
“Benjamin went above & beyond to provide for my dogs. He sent regular updates. I felt extremely comfortable knowing my dogs were being taken care of in a safe place.”
“Taylor was great! She provided updates each day Clover was there and Clover warmed up to her quickly! Taylor is so kind and reliable. I'm looking forward to bringing Clover back and, hopefully, my pup, Flora!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful with both of our dogs! She treated them like family, sent pics and videos and provided great care. Not having to worry about our fur babies made our trip even better. Her home is super dog friendly including a safe and spacious fenced in yard. I recommend Jacqueline and plan on using her dog hospitality and for my dogs again in the future. Superb!”
