“Hannah was communicative and friendly during Lexie's stay! She was confident in her ability to care for our dog even though we could not do a meet and greet because we were traveling from out of state. Dropoff and pickup were easy and quick. Thank you Hannah!”
“Austin and Francis were excellent hosts! Otto had such a lovely stay. We received many updates and saw how much fun he was having. We would love for Otto to stay again. Thank you, Austin and Francis!”
“Jaclyn is awesome! We were visiting Maine for a few days and found a sitter close to where we were staying. It was nice to have peace of mind that our dog, Milo, was being well taken care of and having just as much fun on vacation as us. Highly recommend!! I will definitely be checking if Jaclyn is available next year when we return to Maine.”
“This is the first time we used the services of Jeanne Y. As dog sitter for our dog Crosby, an almost three year old active mixed breed (lab/boxer). We were very pleased with the overall e perience and would not hesitate to use Jeanne again or to recommend her services to our pet-owner friends. I really appreciated the opportunity to meet Jeanne prior to Crosby's stay. I also appreciated the pictures Jeanne shared with us of Crosby's stay. Crosby had to the opportunity to run in the large enclosed ring by Jeanne's barn. According to Jeanne, Crosby enjoyed socializing with other dogs staying on the farm over Christmas. The pictures JeNne shared with us showed this as well. We also appreciated Jeanne's flexibility in when we could drop off and pick up Crosby. Our experience with other kennels is that they are not often as flexible. ”
“Janelle and Bob took very good care of Maggie. She looked happy and well cared for when we picked her up. She loved running around in their fenced in yard. We will definitely trust them with Maggie again. Highly recommend.”
“Excellent and reliable. I got stuck in another state for an extra day due to a flight cancellation, and she was so helpful with watching my dog extra and flexible with a last minute change in plans. Used her services multiple times and always satisfied!”
“First of all, let me start by saying this couple is by far one of the nicest families I’ve met out here. Last minute booking and they welcomed my pup with open arms. Cassidy and Cody kept me up to snuff with day to day life while I was away and even sent pictures of them on adventures. They took great care of my pup and their sweet kids spoiled him with hourly cuddles and brushes so he came home looking like a million bucks. Thank you to the entire family for taking such great care of my boy. Aloha”
“Nicholas replied quickly, sent great pics and made our pup feel at home for his weekend out. Chris "went the extra mile" in several ways to ensure our pup had tons of fun! We will for sure use him again when in the area”
“Connor was great with our dog Bolt! This was our first time going through the app, she made it very easy. We were bringing Bolt to a boarding place nearby but would always feel very on edge and worrying while on vacation. He would come home from the boarding place and his elbows were very rough and red and he would be so thirsty. I picked him up from Connor and he was fine, like he never left home. He was a little tired but that’s to be expected going to a new place. Connor’s house was clean and she has a very nice yard and large covered porch she sat under with him. She was easy to communicate with and flexible. As soon as I met her and she met my dog, I knew we were going to be good! I plan to bring him to her again soon and will continue to for as long as I can!”
“Janice was wonderful. She accommodated us when we needed to make changes to our booking. She sent pictures and let us know how Sophia was doing. Sophia took to Janice immediately. She was exceptional in every way. We highly recommend her services.”
“Diana was absolutely amazing with Nash! I can’t wait to use her services again! Nash went on plenty of walks her property is a dogs heaven. She sent so many pictures and updates! Truly the best possible experience!”
“Kyle and Kaleigh have the perfect set up to watch our dog. We were completely comfortable leaving our pup with them and they were awesome about sending us pictures and communicating on how our dog was doing”
“Alina took great care of our dog while we were away for a few days. She sent lots of photos and updates. We would recommend her to others, and we happily use her for sitting again if we are back in the area.”
“Peter provided a safe and happy place for our pet. He was responsive and communicated well. He kept us informed on how our dog was doing, including helpful and fun photos. Peter was easy to work with and we appreciated the one on one attention he gave to our dog. Having a nice fenced in yard as well as a quieter home, was helpful.”
“Trisha is very kind and flexible, and I felt very reassured to leave my somewhat nervous little dog with her for her first time away from family members. She is communicative with pictures and prompt responses. Best of all, I felt like she appreciated my furry friend!”
“Kimberly took very good care of our fur baby. She sent updates throughout the weekend. Brought toys for our dog. We thought our dog would not want to come home. Highly recommend.”

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.

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.
95% 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 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.
