“I am so thrilled to have found Judy!! I've had Shilo stay with Judy and her husband a few times now and I couldn't be happier. Shilo loves to run and the large fenced in backyard is perfect. Judy's dog, Rosie is sweet and welcoming. The updates and photos are great and relieves any worry or stress that I may have had!!! When it comes time for pick up, although Shilo appears to be happy to see me she also seems quite content to stay with judy....which is a really good sign!!”
“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 😊”
“My dog had so much fun! What a great place for him to stay while I am away. I received tons of pictures which made me happy and he had tons of friends to play with the whole time.”
“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!”
“Melissa and her family were amazing hosts for our dog. Koe loves to be busy and this was the perfect house for him. We got lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend and know he had a great time getting lots of activity, attention and love. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Elaine is a wonderful, loving person. As soon as we met I knew she would care for Lucy the way we do. Lucy spent the night and was with Elaine's dog. They seemed to have a good time together. I got pictures and updates on my pup often from Elaine. When Lucy got home she was exhausted, but clearly happy. I will contact Elaine again through Rover.com the next time we have a need for Lucy to hang with another family for a while. THANK YOU ELAINE!!!”
“I can't recommend Craig and Brianna highly enough. They looked after our dog, Oreo, for a week and provided exceptional care. Their frequent updates and photos showed just how comfortable and loved he was. It’s such a relief to find sitters who treat your pet as their own!”
“Have used Emily once again and couldn’t be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.”
“Tracee was very friendly and responsive. She took great care of my little dog and kept me up to date with pictures. My dog doesn’t always eat when I’m away, but she ate regularly with Tracee so I know she was comfortable. I would recommend her services and plan to use her again!”
“Kourtney is so sweet! She boarded my two dogs for 6 days. I have a big dog who is a love and a little dog who is mean and a biter(legit just randomly bites). I was VERY honest about him and she still accepted him. I honestly cannot thank her enough for taking them. She truly is a rockstar dog sitter!”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“We thought we’d feel guilty leaving our dog behind for vacation, but knowing she was having the time of her life with Dawn and her family made all the difference! Their love and attention to her care were evident in every update, and we couldn’t get enough of the adorable photos and videos. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful family for her to stay!”
“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!”
“We are trying to keep Kira and her family a secret, they take such good care of our baby we don't want to share! But it gives such piece of mind to go on vacation and know your beloved pet is in good hands. Five stars!”
“We boarded our dog for the second time for over a week with Vignesh and are extremely satisfied with his care and updates. He’s also very accommodating with our dates and pick up and drop off times.”

“Michelle went above and beyond during her drop-ins, not just making sure my fur babies were fed and spoiled for atrention, but also helping me out with situations in the apartment where I was not there to handle it on my own. Thank you so much!!”
“Sonny, my cat friend, is rather shy and has really only let 5 people pet him at the house in the last 9 years. Wanting to make my time away less stressful for him, I opted to have Sara housesit so that Sonny would have time to get used to his new caretaker. Sara did a wonderful job getting him out of his shell, making him comfortable and making my vacation more enjoyable. She took very good care of him and left the house like she hadn't even been there. I would highly recommend her for any of your furry friend needs. Sara - Thank you very much!”
About: Having grown up around a diverse set of animals then adopting 2 dogs of my own in adulthood, I bring a thorough, well rounded background in pet care. I am single dad (kids live here part-time) who currently works a corporate 9-5 job full-time from my home office in Leominster, so I have a lot of flexibility during the work days during the week, and then my weekends are very open too around kids activities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex within a wooded area with land so this gives a good environment for comfortable interior space as well as walking pets outside.
“Blaise was great with our cat, Beefaroni. Blaise was always on time, stayed for the whole 30 minutes and gave us cute pictures and nice updates. We felt very secure leaving Beefy with Blaise and knew he was in good hands. So glad we got to work with him and that he took such good care of our special boy. We would happily book again.”
“Sydney did a great job caring for our cats. Rover is a good website to find local people that care about your pets. Great work... Looking forward to Sydney seeing the girls in the future. Thanks Sydney!!”

About: I have lot's of experience in pet care. I walked dogs, pet and house sat for many years in my 20s and after moving to Lancaster a few years ago began pet-sitting again here. My wife and I work from home, which allows us to spend all day with our beloved Havenese Geordi. We all enjoy having other dogs come to play and stay! My wife and I both work from home. My office has a back door out to our fenced in yard so I am able to let the dogs out pretty much anytime they like. I can't even count how many times a day my dog goes out back. I also like to take the dogs on a stroll around the block before and after work. As mentioned I have a fenced in yard and a Havanese who loves to have dog guests to play with and stay over. We give all the dogs lots attention and always make sure their needs are met.

“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.”
“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!!”
“Rosie had a fantastic time at Margaret’s house. She was very comfortable and Margaret was very knowledgeable about older dogs. She took Rosie on several walks during the day and gave her lunch.”
“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! ?”
