“Liliana is an amazing sitter!! She kept me informed through daily messages with pictures and videos. I felt at ease and was able to enjoy my vacation knowing our beautiful Bella was in good hands! Thank you, Liliana!!”
“Carole was a blessing to find. She watched our dog for an entire week with no issues and every few days she communicated with us by sending us a pic of our furry baby. She has a beautiful outdoor area for dog sitting and has lots of knowledge with dogs. We ended up not having enough food for our dog and she went out and bought a bag for him and we reimbursed her via Zell. She also gave us really good tips on how to train our puppy. My family recommends her and we'll definitely use her again.”
About: I have had my dog, Jerry, for 15 yrs. I just love the genuine love that a pet gives with no strings attached. Looking fwd to meeting new friends. I am available on weekends for boarding since I have my full time job during the week. I do have a 6 year old and my dog, Jerry, at home as well. I have a spacious fenced backyard and my dog to keep your fur baby company as well. Dogs are welcomed inside the house as well.
“Where do I begin?: - responsive - engaging - full of knowledge - offered suggestions and service that was beneficial My comfort level a 10 plus and Aja return tired and worn out she had a great time. This is a family that will remain in my must haves.”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog Happy, a Chiweenie (Dachshund–Chihuahua mix), with Ms.Li. From the very beginning, communication was great and reassuring. The sitter shared daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us. Happy always looked relaxed, comfortable, and happy, and it was clear he was receiving genuine care and attention. Thanks to this, we were able to fully enjoy our time away without any stress or worries. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend Ms.Li to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog”
“Very happy! They took great care of our baby and returned him a happy boy. I was very nervous because this was my first time using Rover. We have only ever left him with friends and family. They understood I was nervous and sent me lots of videos and pics to keep us updated. Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
“Such a pleasant family and a wonderful first experience with Rover! Laura and Brian were so lovely and helpful explaining the process to us and taking our pups in. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos; you could tell the dogs were well cared for. Many thanks to Laura and Brian!”
“From our first meet and greet, I got nothing but good vibes from Cynthia 😌 She did such a good job with Aurora! She was quick to respond and gave me updates during her stay. Cynthia was so sweet and it seemed like Aurora enjoyed her stay. Definitely recommend Cynthia and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Angelica takes care of my 'family' -- a reactive schnauzer. :D This is the first time that I've ever left him with someone he didn't know. But I am glad that Winston enjoyed his stay with Angelica. Thank God for Angelica. We are lucky. I trust her to be a sincere, warm, and loving person to my pet.”
About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m an avid lifelong dog lover who works from home full time. Our home features a spacious, secure fully fenced backyard where dogs can run freely. I have extensive experience caring for happy pups of all life stages, from high-energy puppies who need consistent potty training to seniors who require gentle care and medication management. My husband and I have a lively, dog-loving home with two friendly pups and a toddler under two. Because of this, we only accept guest dogs who are known to be comfortable and gentle around young children. We also proudly offer long-term boarding for military deployments and extended work travel. We are familiar with the military lifestyle and offer flexible boarding for both short-term TDYs and long-term deployments. Having two dogs of our own, we provide a stable 'pack' environment where your pup becomes a temporary member of our family for as long as you're away. Whether for a weekend or six months, your dog will receive close supervision, daily play, and all the love they deserve! I'm currently working from home so I'm very active and available to the dogs when they need me. They typically like to nap in the office or sunbathe outside while I'm working, and during my breaks we often play in the backyard or go for a quick walk. Once I'm off work there's more playtime in the backyard before dinner and bedtime. Our two friendly dogs love making new friends and are great at welcoming guests into our pack. We always offer a quick Meet & Greet in our spacious backyard to ensure everyone’s personality meshes perfectly before the stay. This allows us to see how our dogs and my child interact with your pup before we confirm a stay. For long-term stays (30+ days), I often suggest an extended Meet & Greet to make sure your pup feels fully comfortable before your departure.
“My dog, Belle is looking forward to seeing Lisa and staying in her home again. No separation anxiety like the first dog-sitting experiences. Lisa is very caring and responsible lady. I am happy that Belle finds her second home.”
“I needed a dog-sitter over the holidays and Anastasiya was perfect. Very nice and attentive. She took great care of my dog and gave me plenty of updates throughout his stay. My dog really enjoyed himself and I would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you!”
“Nicole is awesome! My dog, Rex stayed with her for 5 days last week. Nicole is so nice and took care of Rex very well while we were out of town. She sent us photos of him every day and he seemed very happy. We will definitely board our dog with Nicole again in the future. So happy to have found her! Thank you, Nicole :)”
“We couldn’t be happier with Marcelo e Elaine. They took care of our dog for 40 days and kept sending daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came back happy and healthy, clearly well-loved. We highly recommend Marcelo e Elaine to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.”
“I don’t even know where to start! Ivy was so amazing! She helped me out so much by watching victor last minute for me. She sent me so many great picture of victor and I could tell he was so happy with his stay! I even felt like he was sad when he had to leave haha i felt so confident that he was very taken care of! I will definitely be messaging ivy if I need a sitter again! Thanks again for everything ivy! I really do appreciate it!”
“Very attentive, caring, on top of everything with updates and pictures. Milo had the a great time with her. Milo is a nervous dog but she made him feel as comfortable as she could and I appreciate that because this was a last min. Thank you so much Skylar I highly recommend on her taking care of you furbaby!! Definitely will return if I go away on another trip!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Acton on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 5,708 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Acton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Acton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Acton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Acton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Acton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Acton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
