“Our dog Baily had such a great time with Maeve that we didn’t think he would want to leave. Maeve is very conscientious to each individual dog’s needs (she takes great note!). I would highly recommend anyone to have their dog stay with Maeve. She’s great”
“My dog had a great time with Kira and her family and I highly recommend dog boarding here. Leo warmed up to them fast and it was very reassuring with the great communication Kira had with me plus nice pictures of my dog’s experience there. Leo came home happy and excited he made so many dog and people friends!”
“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”
“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”
“Liliya and her family were great with Sophie. This was Sophie’s first experience staying with a sitter so I was a bit nervous how she would do. During Sophie’s stay Liliya sent many pics and updates about Sophie’s routine. This really put my mind at ease and Sophie seemed very content. I also love that Liliya, her husband and two young kids played a role in the sitting which means Sophie got lots of attention. I highly recommend Liliya! I will be using her again next time I travel.”
“Carlo had a hot spot and we got him meds before we left. Elaine took such good care of him and gave him his meds and made sure he kept his cone on while we left. We know he’s in such good care with her and will continue to use her for when we go on vacations!”
“I left my Great Dane in Gabriel’s care for a week. She was well taken care of and had plenty of exercise and play time with other pups he was looking after. We loved seeing the video and photo updates Gabriel shared throughout the week. I would definitely recommend him and will definitely be using him to watch my dog in the future!”
“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”
“Nancy is very kind, loving and caring. My dog is old and timid and Nancy handled her care with exactly what my dog needed. Nancy is very gentle. I would highly recommend Nancy.”
“This was Tick's first stay with Briana. She was wonderful with him and sent numerous pictures. Tick came home happy. I needed to extend his stay beyond the initial booking and she was very accommodating.”
“Thank you so much, Mliss and Family! Gracelyn was in great hands while we were away. Lots of family pets and love kept the Small One happy and cozy. Thank you so much!!”
“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.”
“As always Baxter had a wonderful time with Tracee and family! Such a warm and welcoming home. We feel so lucky to have found you Tracee! Thanks for taking such good care of Baxter!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was easy to coordinate with, provided plenty of updates (including some really adorable photos), and made our time away stress free because we knew our dog was in great hands!”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”
“Julia was great! There was easy communication and flexibility for pick up and drop off. She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure our dog was well cared for!”
“I was nervous about boarding my dog. Our one previous experience with overnight boarding resulted in a stressed and overwhelmed dog. However, Xiaoxue was a dream! Communication was A+ from the start and she was very accommodating. She sent so many pics and videos. He got plenty of exercise and sniffing time. She is also a dog owner so he got a buddy to play with. I could tell he was having the time of his life! I will definitely book again and would recommend her with zero hesitation. Such a gem!”
“Svetlana was amazing with our dog, great communication, pictures and detailed updates. We knew how our dog was all the time which was such a relief during our trip. 💯 recommended.”
“Francois took great care of Walter while I was on vacation. I particularly enjoyed the daily photos of their walks in the woods, it put my mind at ease that he was receiving the best care. He seemed very happy upon his return!”

“Daniel was an excellent drop-in visitor and playmate for our cat Georgie. We really appreciated his friendliness, prompt communication, and genuine affection for our cat. Bonus points for his availability short notice during holiday season as well! We’d definitely recommend Daniel.”
“Danya did an amazing job with our high needs cat and our chickens. She really went above and beyond: taking out trash, cleaning dirty bowls, and dealing with an on-going construction project. One evening the construction crew accidentally locked her out, and she patiently kept trying to get in touch with me and trouble shooted the problem with me via text so she could get in. I think a lot of people would have given up, and I'm so grateful she didn't.”
“I felt very fortunate that Chelsea was available to take care of my cat Ivan during my trip to Greece. This was my second booking and I had absolutely no worries. Chelsea clearly loves taking care of pets and they love her right back!”
About: I am a thoughtful person who has taken care of cats for about twenty years. I can cuddle, play with and feed your cat and have plenty of experience cleaning litter boxes. I am gentle, caring and dependable.
“Sarah was great with our cat Cedar. She took good care of our timid cat and followed our directions perfectly. She is super nice and friendly, as well. Will definitely book with her again!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter for our elderly cats, and we were a bit nervous, but Jessica did a great job, everything we asked her to do. Our boys seemed to take to her right away and it was comforting for us to know that their needs were being met so that we could enjoy our trip. She sent pictures of both of them everyday and gave a nice report, letting us know how they were doing and what she had done in interacting with them. I would highly recommend Jessica and we will definitely use her again!”
“Tricia was great with our cats! She sent daily updates and pics which helped us be away from the kitties as this was the first time we have used a service. Highly recommend!!”
“100/10, Lucy is incredibly trustworthy and nurturing, it is very clear to me how much she loves and cares for animals. She took care of my 2 kitties while I had to be away for work, I do not have a dog - I just want to be clear about that, because I’ve had no less than 5 other sitters watch my cats, and all of them have struggled. I think people think that cats are “easier”, but as a result they don’t end up getting all of the love and care they need. Anywho, that was not the case here at all, she did everything I asked her to do, even going above and beyond… and she sent me SO many pictures and videos… this was probably my easiest trip away, because I was getting so many updates from Lucy. It was also very clear to me that the kitties were excited to see her, they can be a little skeptical of new people but it was obvious to me that they connected with her. I could not be happier with Lucy, she’s a great sitter and I will hire her again on my future trips!! She’s very communicative as well, even keeping the schedule up to date with her arrival times. Thank you so much Lucy!! Your diligent care for Kelso and Kali brought me so much comfort!!”
“Miriam watched our cat for a few days while we were away and we couldn't be happier. She gave us great updates and was very responsive. We will definitely try to book her for future visits, and highly recommend her!”

“Elaine & Ken are wonderful. Their dog Brady is a great companion too :). So glad to have found them ! I have peace of mind when working when my pup Gator is with them. Very kind , reliable & responsible. My pup always looks forward to seeing them.”
“Maeve took excellent care of our puppy, Barnaby. It was his first time with a sitter, and first time meeting another dog, and Maeve made it so easy. She communicated with me promptly, sent photos, and Barnaby loved being with her. 100% recommend.”
“Joanne has watched my dogs many times and is very dedicated to their care. Her whole living space is made with dogs in mind and she is very attentive to their needs. I have been using her services for years.”
“Nancy has been a fantastic caregiver for my dog! Her communication is thorough, she sends me pictures throughout the day, and she has been really wonderful about all of my pet’s medical needs. She feels like a real partner! A+ for Nancy!”
“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: 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.
“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.”
“My pup, Beau enjoyed his time with Victoria and her two dogs a lot; he was very happy when I picked him up and will look forward to spending much more time with Victoria and her lovely home with a fenced-in yard.”
“Kathy was great with Comet. She sent lots of pictures and gave him lots of treats and love. And Franklin was an excellent host too. Kathy was very communicative and asked lots of questions before we met, making us feel safe leaving Comet there. We would absolutely use her again!”
“Sara was wonderful with my puppy and young adult dogs, and very accommodating of my lazy Saturday schedule. The pups were happy and relaxed, and Sara had only nice things to say about them, when I came to get them from a day of doggie daycare and slept like rocks—clearly exhausted from a day of nonstop play in Sara’s yard. Would definitely recommend!”
“Strudel had a great time with tons of space to run and play and two other friendly dogs to play with. Souvik and Meghan were attentive, answered all of our questions immediately, and sent periodic updates of Strudel's adventures playing with the other pups and on walks.”
“Anastasia was fantastic!!!! She was professional and very detailed on how their visit would be. I felt very confident leaving my two dogs with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in a comfortable home.”
About: I have a yorkie that I have taken care of for 7 years. I also volunteered at a dog shelter for two years which got me accustomed to all sorts of dogs! I currently work as a host at cheesecake and am a full time student at northeastern, I currently am taking summer courses and have more time to myself. I walk, feed and play with my dog! I also did the same for the dog shelter as I played, trained and walked the dogs there.
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.

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.
“Hailey provided great care for my two Boston terrier. On the first day there was trouble with access to my apartment due to my leasing office being closed. Hailey stuck with it & waited till I could get home to let her in to take care of pups. She’s a great communicator. 10/10 would recommend & would ask for help in the future.”
“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.”
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.
About: My experience encompasses daily walks, meticulous feeding schedules, and recognizing subtle signs of distress. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment, ensuring your pets feel secure and happy in your absence. My approach is tailored to each animal's unique needs, fostering a bond of trust and affection. I am going back to school to show my son it can still be done at my age. Your pets will fit into my schedule perrrfectly. I have a very loved 8 year old rescued cat that my son adores. Although I don't offer services at my home your pets will be loved and cared for like my own.
“Alexandra was great! She responded quickly for availability and kept me updated frequently. Zeus loved her as well and he can be tricky sometimes! I would definitely book a walk with her again.”

“Nicholas was really friendly and on time! He was very good at handling Kona (who tends to jump) and was able to handle his pull-y nature. Very grateful for all of Nicholas’s help and I would not hesitate to ask for his services in the future.”
“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.”
“I had Jaycee take my dog Oreo for a few walks while I was out of town and would highly recommend her for any pet sitting or walking. She stuck to the times she mentioned in the window provided and updated with cute pictures. She even left a few treats for Oreo to enjoy after the booking was over. I'll look to have her take care of any pet again if needed.”
