“Sydney was beyond incredible! We were out of town for 2 weeks and we couldn't have asked for a more amazing sitter. She spoiled, loved and cuddled our dog! She sent pictures and videos and kept us updated daily. We will definitely use her again and again. Wonderful experience for our pet!”
“Svetlana and her family were amazing with Cornelius. Normally, I get nervous leaving Cornelius for my trips, but she checked in with me everyday, brought him on errands, and send me pics of him happy and healthy daily. I will definitely book again!!!”
“Liliya and her family continue to take great care of our girl Luna so we can be confident when we travel! She is very communicative, accommodating, and sends lots of photos. Thank you Liliya!”
“Ruby had a wonderful time staying with Robert and his family. Robert was responsive and shared photos/updates of Ruby during her stay. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!”
“I was very pleased with Sarah’s care of Brandy when she stayed with her this past weekend. Sarah was great about updating me and sending pictures. Her house is very dog friendly and there are lots of toys that her pup shares with guests. Brandy enjoyed her stay, and although she was happy to see me, was not showing any of the anxiety I sometimes see when we are separated for a while, so I know she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for in my absence. I would highly recommend Sarah as a sitter and plan to have her watch Brandy again soon!”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience boarding our dog Mac with Yick-hong and couldn’t recommend him and his fiancee more highly. Our dog can be pretty nervous in new environments, but he warmed up to them almost immediately, which gave us so much peace of mind right from the start. We received daily updates with photos and thoughtful notes, which truly meant the world to us. It was so clear that they treated Mac like their own — with patience, affection, and genuine care. Every update reassured us that he was not just being watched, but truly cared for and loved. Throughout our entire trip, we felt completely comfortable and confident that Mac was in excellent hands. We are so grateful and will absolutely book with them again!”
“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!”
“Lanie had an amazing time with Susan and came back super tired from a day of playing with her two golden retrievers. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience for leaving her with someone overnight!”
“Xiaofan was great! I got update pictures throughout the day and in every picture my dogs were smiling, running or playing. Xiaofan took great care of them and I could enjoy my vacation stress free knowing my dogs were in good hands. Will definitely use her again!”
About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
“Likun took very good care of our 43 lb Bernedoodle. She was very patient when he became homesick and was professional and reliable at every interaction. She genuinely has an interest in caring for animals and is detail-oriented when coordinating their care. She also provided photos and videos for peace of mind that our boy was healthy and happy. We would rely on Likun again without question.”
“I am so grateful for the wonderful care Michiko and Clifford gave my small and anxious dog for her two- day visit. They made sure to understand and accommodate her feeding and routines, and their thoughtful reports showed that she was receiving lots of attention. The daily updates and pictures were great to receive, and I especially enjoyed knowing she also had the good company of their friendly dog. I am confident that she was safe and happy in their home.”
“Sara was an absolute delight! Warm and welcoming, my large breed pup did great with her and her two dogs; I received regular, daily updates with pics. I will be utilizing her services in the future!”
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.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Acton is $63

Yvonne and family are AMAZING! They took such wonderful care of our German Shepherd while we were out of town. Yvonne sent lots of pictures of Maia having a wonderful time and being spoiled with lots of pets. It was such a relief to know she was happy and well cared for. I know Maia will be excited to visit again!
We had a great experience with Marla and her husband. It was our first time leaving our 2 kitties (11 month old siblings, Bella and Bozo) and we were wary about having them stay at someone else’s home vs having someone come to our house. We only had them for about 2 months before leaving them. We weren’t sure how they’d react to being away from home with new people and other cats. Marla had a separate room that the kitties have as their own if desired. They were brought right into the separate where they were able to familiarize themselves with their new surroundings and different smells of a new place and other kitties. Marla’s cats were kept in their bedroom so as to allow our kitties time to adjust. It didn’t take long for them to begin exploring their new environment. We left them feeling very comfortable knowing that they would be taken well care of. Apparently, our initial fears were all for nothing because they settled in quickly and seemed to enjoy themselves. We received pictures daily that eased our worries while we were away. They had perches to sit on and watch the birds outside and there were a lot of toys and scratching posts to enjoy. I highly recommend Marla to anyone who has never left their cat before, and to anyone who has left their cat before and may not have had a good experience. BK

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
