“Melissa was amazing! She had our Sadie for three days of day care so we could go off and enjoy day trips with our visiting granddaughters and d.i.l. Sadie loved her and her girls, never looking back at us after that first day of drop off! Melissa sent periodic pics and updates of how our girl was doing, and was very accommodating as to drop off and pick up times. We would not hesitate to rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her for your fur babies.”

“Laurie is wonderful! She’s very attentive and caring with the dogs in her care - it’s obvious she’s a dog person. My dog knows when he’s going to Laurie’s house and gets so excited. When we get there, he jumps out of the car and right over to Laurie. I’m grateful for Rover and helping me find daycare so quickly with a person I can trust.”

About: Amelia Massey Chorlton Introduction: Hello, my name is Amelia Massey Chorlton. I have extensive experience with dogs, having cared for them practically my entire life. From raising our family dog Daisy, a Golden Retriever, until her passing due to old age, to currently running a doggy daycare from my home, dogs have always been a significant part of my life. Professional Experience: I recently left my position as a manager at a doggy daycare, where I worked for three years, to focus on working from home. During my time there, I gained valuable experience in understanding and managing various dog behaviors and deepened my love for all types of dogs. In addition to my daycare management experience, I have also managed an intellectual disability group home, a position I also left to work from home. Personal Experience: I currently own four dogs of various sizes and two cats. I live in an in-law housing situation owned by my mother, which allows me the flexibility to separate dogs as needed. If required, I can crate my dogs and cats, ensuring that your pet will never have to meet mine if that’s your preference. Facilities: • My home features a fully fenced backyard that is divided into sections, allowing me to separate my dogs from visiting dogs while keeping everything securely fenced. • The backyard provides plenty of shade, a kiddie pool, and access to the garage, which is equipped with water bowls, food bowls, beds, toys, and is climate-controlled with both AC and heating for the colder months. Services: • The option to separate dogs or provide solo sitting for dogs with reactivity or behavioral issues. • Experience with senior dogs, puppies, and behavioral dogs. • Years of experience training my own and other dogs. • CPR trained and capable of administering medication to dogs that need it. Please consider me for your next dog-sitting needs. I am passionate and dedicated, and I promise to put my all into caring for each and every dog that comes into my home. Thank you for your consideration! I work from home, allowing me to maintain a very flexible schedule. I am available for dog sitting, dog boarding, dog walking, cat sitting, cat boarding, and drop-in visits as needed. Additionally, I offer complimentary dog walking services when you book boarding at my home. In my home, I ensure pets are cared for in a safe and comfortable environment. When the weather is pleasant, the dogs can enjoy free access to the backyard, where they can roam freely and even jump in the kiddie pool if they wish. The garage is always open during the day, allowing them to move in and out as they please. On particularly hot or cold days, the backyard is only open for potty breaks. During these times, the dogs stay indoors, with the dog door remaining open for them to access their crates, beds, or toys. This setup ensures they can always find a comfortable spot to relax and play!

“Our pup Milo had a great time! I’ll be leaving him with Derek again!”

“Blu loved his stay with Colette and Sammy. . He was able to play out in fenced yard and he really connected with Colette. On his last day he made sure to give a little kiss. Thanks again Colette.”

“Sarah was everything we could have hoped for! She responded quickly to our request, and when we met her it was obvious that she has a gentle, intuitive sense that pups love. Mica was comfortable and felt safe right away in her care; she had a fun day playing with Sarah and her pup, and came home happy and tired. We will definitely see Sarah again!”

“Maddie was wonderful to work with! She was right on time, friendly, and took great care of my puppy. My puppy came home happy and slept great that night!”

Bri B.

“April was amazing! This was Bentley's first time away from us. He had the best time playing in the backyard and going for walks with her. He came home happy and completely worn out for the rest of the day. I highly recommend April for anyone looking for a caring and fun place for their pup!”

About: My name is Kimberly F. and I am currently 33 years old. I own a 3 bedroom single family home in Oxford MA and currently live there with my daughter. I have been here for about 8 years. I do not currently have any pets. My back yard is 0.3 acre and is fully fenced. I have loved animals since birth. I used to ride and train horses growing up however that passion had to be put aside to move along in my education and career goals. I am looking to make some extra income to offset some additional home expenses. I love animals and connect with all animals more easily than I do with people. I treat animals as family. I had been living here with someone before and he did not want any animals around. Now that he is gone, I can start what I’ve been wanting to do since buying the house. I welcome you and your four legged family members to my home. I currently work from home so I am available all day seven days per week to care for your dog. However many potty or walk breaks are needed I can make that work! I have a fully fenced in back yard which dogs love to play in and run around. It is great having a safe space for them to let out energy!

“Kelsey and Chris are great and take care of Charlie really well. They even help out by giving him his meds ahead of me getting there ti combat his motion sickness. Thank you for another great day.”

About: I have been a veterinary technician for about 20 years now, working directly with pets and as a medical technician. I am willing to take on dogs with medical issues and can give meds. Currently not working so I am home all day to watch your pets and give them as much love and attention as needed. There will be plenty of outdoor time and walks as needed to get out the extra energy. Fully fenced in yard. Pets usually have free roam of the first and second floor. I do allow pets on furniture but can be strict about not being on it if needed.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life—my own dog James came into my life when I was just 11 years old, and from then on, caring for animals became second nature. I bring a patient, gentle, and intuitive approach to each pet I care for. I’m especially great with shy or nervous dogs and have experience with both playful puppies and slower-moving seniors who need extra TLC. What really sets me apart is how I treat every pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that means sticking to a strict medication schedule, going for long walks, or just providing a calm and loving environment. I’m also detail-oriented, reliable, and great at communicating with pet parents—so you’ll always know your furry friend is safe, happy, and loved. As a college student with a flexible class schedule, I’m able to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I often structure my day around my responsibilities, which makes it easy for me to prioritize walks, feedings, playtime, and cuddle sessions. Whether it's early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, I always find time to give pets the love and attention they need. Caring for animals is something that brings me joy and balance in the middle of a busy academic life—it never feels like a chore. It’s actually one of the most relaxing and rewarding parts of my routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to respect their space and follow the routine they’ve set for their furry friend. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I work hard to maintain their usual schedule—whether that means feeding at specific times, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or administering medications.
