About: Six years of cuddles, walks, and playtime have made me a true pet enthusiast! I know how much pets enrich our lives, and I'm eager to share that love with your furry friend. I'm experienced in providing engaging activities and creating a fun, safe environment for your pet to thrive. I work from home and can fit in schedules during the week. I have a unfixed, male Beagle, Leo - who is a sweetheart and is very calm and mingles well with to other dogs. He mostly loves to laze around once he's had his fill. I have an enclosed sun room for the pet to relax and bask in the sun. The neighbourhood is very calm, safe and pet friendly.
“Mary was great with Cookie! We felt comfortable in leaving her under Mary’s care and she sent updates to us to let us know how she was doing throughout the week. We will definitely use her again!”
“Kate and her family took great care of Leo. This was our first time using Rover and it was a success. He came home happy and tired. She was very easy to communicate with and made us feel that he was in good hands. Thank you for a great stay!”
“Very happy with J & J! We took a last minute trip and they responded quickly. They took good care of Milo, sent pictures, and i could tell he was happy there. Would definitely book again!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Sarah and her family! This was our 1st time with Sarah and was happy to hear that our dog quickly bonded with her kids. Sarah proactively sent updates every day with pictures, which we all appreciated. I highly recommend Sarah and will definitely book with her again.”
“Our dog had a great time with Min and her family! Min clearly has a passion for dogs and a talent for knowing their wants and needs. We got frequent updates and she was very flexible when we had a pretty significant flight delay. We were so happy knowing our dog was in good hands.”
“Francois is everything you could want in a pet sitter. He’s very obviously a true animal lover — kind and caring — and he’s very responsible. We left our 4 month old Airedale puppy with him for 4 nights while we went overseas, and it was such a comfort to have Francois send us regular updates and photos showing what a lovely time he and Biggles were having. If you are looking for a loving home-away-from-home for your pet, you have found it. Thank you, Francois!!”
“Liza took excellent care of our dog while we were out of the country for a week. She is a great communicator, super easy to work with, and a warm and loving caregiver. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent experience across the board. Steve and Kira treat the pups like family and create an environment where they can play and rest and get all the TLC they need. They are easy to communicate with, provide photo updates, and don’t mind giving special diets and meds. The dogs are well screened to make sure the crew is all friendly, so they have a really positive social experience.”
“Michelle was awesome! She would constantly give us updates while she watched our dog Ginger with pictures and texts. Ginger was so happy while she was in Michelle’s care. We are so grateful she was able to watch her and 10/10 would do again! Thank you again Michelle! :D”
“Paul is just the best. Very communicative and makes pick up & drop off super easy. Love the frequent picture updates of our dog’s staycations. Gives us peace of mind that Thomas is getting constant care and attention when we’re out of town. Thankful to have found Paul on Rover and I know Thomas is, too! Highly recommend.”
About: Long term pet parent and lover of animals. I am known for adopting animals in need of homes. I have had 3 cats and a dog over the past 10 years. My dog passed away in 2025 from cancer and I miss having my buddy around. I am not ready for a new dog so I am happy to spend time with yours. I currently have 2 kitties at home, one of which is a blind kitten. He is very sweet and playful. I work from home most days, but do travel occasionally for work. Please feel free to reach out, I have time to spare. I'm happy to assist you and your furbabies. I work remotely from home during the week and have availability to take your pup out for a walk. My dog recently passed from cancer and I miss my afternoon walks with him. Your pup will hang out with me all day or veg in the backyard. I have 2 cats who might be a little shy but are friendly. They have been around dogs and will hide if a dog is just too much energy. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for zoomies. I also have a crate, toys and bed for your dog.
“Jessica and her family were amazing caretakers for our 6 month-old Golden Retriever, Ollie! During his stay, Jessica sent me continual updates, photos and videos of Ollie enjoying walks, playing with her own dogs, watching Sunday football, and having the best time! I would highly recommend Jessica and look forward to Ollie staying with her again soon!!”
“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!”

Milo loved all the cuddles and attention he got — he clearly enjoyed spending time with them. I could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Acton on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,046 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.
92% 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 MA 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.
