“Rochelle was amazing. She communicated well with me and all 3 of my dogs seemed to really enjoy her. She even taught them some manners while I was away. I will be coming back to her in the future. I highly recommend.”
“I would highly recommend Anthony. From the beginning he was very responsive and thorough. He was flexible working around my schedule and did a great job with my dogs. 5 stars all around.”
“Spencyr and his wife are top tier when it comes to boarding your babies. They sent videos and pictures so I never had to wonder. Minnie looked so happy whether hanging out with the humans or sniffing around with the other pups. When I picked her up she was as healthy as I left her. Thank you Spencyr for an amazing stay! We will definitely book you guys again!!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Layla! She is very communicative and our pup had the best time (we could tell from all the pics we were sent)! Definitely recommend Layla watching your dog :)”

“This was my first time using Rover, and Eddie was fantastic! I definitely will be back. Thank you so much for everything! Tyson was well kept and it gave me great comfort! Thank you!”
“Darlynh is the best and I'll recommend her over and over. She sent me pictures to see how my buddy was doing. Cooper was shy initially and, I felt bad leaving him. But before I made it home, I received a picture of him all settled in and comfortable. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.”
“Joshua was beyond helpful when I needed someone to watch my pup last minute. He was responsive, professional, and reassuring! He even sent me photos and videos of my pup like I asked. He made it an easy drop of and pick up, and I will def be using his services in the future.”

“Lexie was fantastic! My dog loved her and he felt comfortable from the moment he walked in the door. She made my dog feel welcome and was very accommodating to his needs. Lexie was very quick to respond and kept me updated during his stay. Will definitely use her again and would be great with all pets!”
“Would give 10 stars if I could. Sarah is amazing! Someone who truly loves all animals and cares for each one as if they are her own. In 9 years of Rover sitters, I’ve never felt this comfortable leaving Lily with someone. Sarah sends routine photos and updates and her sense of humor makes each one that much better. Thank you Sarah! Lily has found her forever second home ❤️”
“Paige and her family did a great job taking care of our dog Max. We appreciate the updates and photos of Max hanging out with her and the family. We will definitely use Paige again in the future.”
“Jill and her husband are amazing! We contacted them via rover a couple days before Thanksgiving and asked her to care for a dog. She was happy to oblige. She then contacted us and provided us with all the detailed information required to put our minds at ease. Due to time constraints she was unable to provide us with a walk-through until we got there, but once we arrived she made sure to walk us through the house and to explain Bears surroundings. Later on during our dogs stay she sent this photos of bears activities and updates which really helped put our mind's at ease! At pick up all of bears things were packaged and ready to go. When we got home we were surprised to find a thank you note and a couple of very cute toys that left for bear! I highly recommend this couple! They are very dog centered, loving, and nurturing providers!”
“First time on Rover and Selena and family took great care of our little girls. We got regular updates and pictures, and felt confident leaving them with these animal lovers. Thanks so much! It made our trip so much more enjoyable knowing they were in good hands!”
About: From farm and ranch to pet boarding facilities, I've pretty much done it all. I have lots of experience with just about every pet there is, including seniors and bottle babies. I treat each one like my own and love them like family. From the energetic and active, to the timid and shy, I make sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable while you're away. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your beloved family member and my goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy and genuinely cared for. I have my own small farm so animal care is a daily activity for me. The more to care for the merrier! I am off every Friday and through the weekend, so weekends are spent loving on the fur babies. I work with your preferences on crating and care. I have a large fenced yard and a smaller fenced area for puppies, seniors or small dogs.
“I was so nervous to leave my girls for an extended period of time. I prepped them days in advance so they wouldn’t be afraid to go to someone new. Alex shows up and the sprinted to him, jumped in the backseat of his car, and immediately made themselves right at home. Throughout my work trip, I received pictures and updates. He was fantastic, highly recommend.”
“Kaci and her husband watched my 3 year old boston terrier for a week. They have two dogs of their own and my boston got along great with them. She sent pics and gave updates the entire week. Did the dogs have fun together? Well...lets just say mine was exhausted the night that I picked him up...”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Acton is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $40 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 499 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Acton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 TX 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.
