“Tiffany and her family took such wonderful care of Benny while we were on vacation! It was clear that he received plenty of attention, affection, and love during his stay. Knowing he was safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely trust Tiffany with Benny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring pet sitter!”

“Khaila is incredible! She is a true dog lover and very knowledgeable. There are few people I trust with my dogs, and she's one of them! I know my dogs will be in good hands with Khaila, and she's my first choice in sitter in the Saco area. She's flexible with plans, responsive, and very communicative. I appreciate the updates she shares with me, and I know I don't have to worry when my dogs are being watched by her. Thank you Khaila!”
“Our energetic Maddie had a great stay with Tony. We always try to board her with people that have other dogs so she can play and make friends. Tony had her alone, but still managed to get her walking and running off leash in a fenced in yard and kept her happy. He was very good about reaching out and sending pictures during her stay which is very reassuring. Not enough Rover people do that! Tony is highly recommended!”
“Trisha and her family have been exceptional hosts for our Peanut. This stay was extended for a full week. We received regular updates and photos during our vacation which settled our mind and made us very comfortable”
“Ansley was a pleasure to work with. She’s trustworthy, communicative, and kind. Ansley kept us posted with updates and pictures and was accomodating to our requests. Highly recommend Ansley and will rebook with her for future trips!”
“Niccolo took great care of Tilly and kept us updated throughout. We felt extremely secure and comfortable leaving Tilly with Niccolo’s family and were able to truly enjoy our time away knowing she would be so well taken care of. Would not hesitate rebook.”
“Stefany was amazing. She accepted my last minute request and responded to all my messages very quickly. She gave me lots of updates and bonded immediately with my dog, even though he can be picky about people sometimes. Would recommend for anyone who needs a dog sitter in Maine!”
About: Hello, My Name is Ashley and Ive always had a passion for animals. Between cats, dogs of all breeds and sizes, and exotic animals, I have experience with them all! I went to a technical high school and completed a vet assisting program, where I learned how to administer meds and work as a vet assistant. After that I worked as a Kennel Technician for a couple years. I went to grooming school and learned how to become a professional groomer. After leaving the field, I have started doing pet sitting and dog walking. I am moving to New Hampshire and wanted to join Rover to provide quality care to dogs of all sizes! I also have experience working with senior pets that may need a little extra care and patience! I am currently planning on providing boarding from my home with only one or two pets at a time, so they get all of the extra love and attention! With the boarding services I provide, I plan to be with your pet 24/7! That may change as I also plan on doing walks and drop-ins for pets in my area! While I do not have a fenced in yard, your pup would get lots of responsible on-leash walks and hikes per owner request! When I enter a clients home, I always pay close attention to the pups and make sure everything is clean and your pet is happy!
“Tracy is fantastic, she was so accommodating and obviously cares so much about pups. Her place is really nice in a quiet neighborhood with a bunch of doggies and a 5mph speed limit. I felt so comfortable leaving Halo with her and will gladly again if I'm back on the area!”
“We can't say enough good things about our experience. Emma was a delight. She made Tuckie a part of their family. This was our first experience with leaving Tuckie and Emma put us right at ease along witb tuckie who went with her withkut issues. She was extremely accommodating and professional. Tuckie looks forward to his next adventure. We would definitely recommend Emma's services.”
“Carmen did an amazing job with Jerry’s overnight stay. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. She also ensured that he had a potty break right before pick up! I am super grateful for her help with Jerry and helping my shy pup feel comfortable being away from home. I know Jerry is safe in her care. Thank you again!”
“Jessica is fantastic. She was so good with our two pups for an overnight stay! She sent the best pictures, played with our pups with her children, and gave them a great place to stay for the night. Would highly recommend Jessica; and we will definitely not hesitate to send our dogs to her again!”

Rebecca was great! We boarded our two Australian Shepards with her for the week we went on vacation. She was extremely responsive, provided frequent updates and photos, and even did pickup and drop off for our two dogs! We appreciate her service and would definitely book with her again.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Acton is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Acton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Acton. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 ME 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
