“Kira was a great sitter. This was Loki's first ever long stay and second time with Kira after a test run. They took wonderful care of him. Loki had a great time, he seemed happy and enjoying the company of Kira's family and other dogs. We were happy to see him in good health :-)”
“Nancy took amazing care of our dogs for almost 2 weeks while we were away in Europe. She communicated to us daily with photos to match her captions, letting us know they were doing well (they are old and not in the best of health). We were so grateful she could take them a month before we were to leave (we had a family emergency so needed a back up plan) especially during the holiday season! She was so thoughtful to help us out and go to the store when we neglected to pack their doggie treats. We highly recommend Nancy - she treated our dogs as if they were her own! ❤️”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”
“Jax has a great stay! Lots of photo updates and he seemed so happy being able to hang with all the girls and cuddle on the couch. Would definitely recommend and use for our next vacation”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Julie! She clearly knows how to make a pet feel welcome in her home. I definitely can relax knowing my pup is in good hands with Julie. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter!”
“Liliya and her family did a wonderful job boarding our dog Turk. He absolutely loves her and her family and we could rest easy on vacation knowing he was well cared for. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs since I was born. My current dog, Ollie, is 1 year old. One of my previous dogs, who has since passed, had diabetes and required insulin shots and went blind but I took care of her for years after her diagnosis before she passed from natural causes. I love dogs, they make the world a brighter place! I work 3 days a week (or nights) so I have four days off a week. It can change depending on my schedule or I can request certain days off to fit someone else’s schedule with enough notice. I live in a house with several parks in the immediate area to keep your dog occupied! I have a lot of patience when taking care of dogs/puppies.
“Claude had a good time and we loved the photos along the way - would definitely book with Sarah again! We could tell he got tons of attention from everyone in the family and really felt at home!”
“Finley was fantastic! They provided regular updates on Atlas and we got lots of photos. Atlas didn’t want to leave their house when it was time to go. Would highly recommend Finley!”
“We're hapoy to share that Dexter had an amazing 4-night stay with Kavita! She went above and beyond, keeping us updated regularly. What truly impressed us was her attentiveness to Dexter's specific needs - she quickly picked up on his resource guarding issue and handled it with care. Unlike other sitters, Kavita's insight and expertise made all the difference. After 5 years of using various pet care services, we can confidently say this experience was one of the best. We highly recommend Kavita's home as a warm and welcoming haven for your furry friend - it's truly a home away from home!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Likun—she is truly the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment Chewy arrived, he was showered with so much love, attention, and care. 🐾💛 She spent tons of time playing with him and made sure he was always happy and engaged. Her large backyard was an absolute dream—plenty of space for Chewy to run around, explore, and have the time of his life! It honestly felt like a mini vacation for him. What really stood out was the 1-on-1 attention she gave him. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and Chewy absolutely adored her. I picked him up relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and full of love for your pup, Likun is it. We will definitely be booking with her again—Chewy can’t wait to go back!”
“Marissa was amazing with my playful adolescent pup! This was my first time using Rover, and she met with me ahead of time and answered all my questions to help me feel comfortable. She was flexible and a good communicator, and sent lots of photos. My dog came home tired and happy!”
“Michele and her family were warm and friendly towards our dog Polly. Polly enjoyed the company of Michele’s pets. And Michele took Polly on long walks and she seemed happy and relaxed when we picked her up.”
“Danielle and her husband Anthony were very responsive and so helpful with our timing. Our pup came home clearly happy and tired from playing with their puggles and going on long walks. Wonderful service!”
“Michiko and Cliff are really great, very responsive and you can tell immediately that they love dogs and have a lot of experience taking in four legged guests. From the meet and greet we felt comfortable having Bella stay with them and Bella seemed calm and happy to explore the house. During the stay, we received daily updates and pictures and of Bella enjoying the stay, making our time away from Bella relaxing knowing she is in good hands.”
“Maeve greets Leo like he is her family member! He happily runs in and is at home immediately. She texts me photos every day and is accomodating when my drop off and pick up times are in flux. Great dog sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Acton
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

There are 4,240 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Acton. About 90% of Acton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
