“Gina and her husband were so great! Very communicative, responsive, and sent such lovely pictures and videos. You could tell from the updates they really cared for Monty and Cocoa and our dogs felt so loved and right at home. We can’t wait to use them again!”
“Grace & Andrew were fantastic. They were super responsive and accommodating for my last second boarding request, and they’re SO sweet! They took Great care of Chance and I would absolutely use them again.”
“Ilya was fantastic with our cavapoo while we were away on vacation. He sent daily updates and pictures to let us know she was doing well and having fun. When we went to pick her up, you could tell she felt right at home. Look forward to using Ilya again!”
“Cody was a fantastic sitter for our pup while we were away for a long weekend. She provided great daily updates and was incredibly kind, flexible, and communicative when our pup experienced some separation + thunderstorm anxiety during his visit and when we experienced flight delays on our return trip home. We will definitely re-book with Cody in the future!”
“Michelle was fantastic! We were lucky she was available to take care of our dog for an extended weekend. Tito came back home a happy pup! We would happily book again.”
“Great experience - my dog is nine and has only stayed with family in the past, so it was wonderful to find a caring sitter locally who was able to care for her. Very responsive when contacted, and was flexible around timing (7am on New Year's Day, wow!) 10/10 would recommend.”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Maria Luiza & Mac were so great with our one year old golden retriever pup! Maria sent multiple updates with photos each day and you could just tell they loved our dog as if he was their own. They were also so flexible with drop off and pick up. We’ll definitely use them again!”
“I would be giving them more than 5 stars if I could! Zwany was so warm and inviting to us dog parents who had to leave their little one behind for the first time. From our meet & greet to the daily pup-dates and everything in between, they made us feel so comfortable and at ease with the level of care and attention our fur baby would get.”
“Ilsa is a great dog sitter! She sent me tons of cute pics and videos of my dog during his stay. She lives in a great neighborhood with a yard which I know my dog loved. I would absolutely recommend her services and definitely book with her again!”
“Lorena and Jahn were very good to my dog. They sent me lots of pictures of him everyday. It made me feel better because I’ve never done this before. They were awsome. I definitely would recommend them. They are really nice people.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl! From owning my own three crazy golden retrievers to being trusted with my neighbor’s, family’s and friend’s pups, I have always loved being around dogs. I am a teacher and am currently off of school for the summer so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pups! I plan on continuing dog walking part time through the school year as well! I love going on long walks, enjoying the summer sunshine and exploring around Boston. I would love for your furry best friend to join me!
“Dana and Nia were very warm and welcoming upon meeting during drop-off. They provided daily updates, including Layla's well-being, how she settled right in and warmed up to them. When I picked Layla up from their house, it was abundantly clear how well cared for and happy she was. I would absolutely reccomend them for your dogsitting needs in the future.”
“Zach was very responsive and easy to communicate with before and during our dog’s stay with him. He sent us photos regularly. Our dog was excited to see him again, which is always a good sign he had a good time!”
“Jing and her husband were great. They took great care of my dog for the week. Their house is in a great location and their fenced yard was great for my dog who is not always the best off leash. They clearly care for dogs. I would definitely find Jing again!”
“Rocky had a great time and was well taken care of at Veronica’s! Highly recommend. She was also very accommodating of multiple scheduling changes when I had to change the drop off timing.”

I left my kitty for the first time and Andrew was so amazing! Even though my cat is a little anxious and not used to other cats, I saw she had a great time through regular updates and the instagram!! She looked happy and comfortable the whole time and I couldn't have been happier :)
Shriya was absolutely amazing. She watched my cat, Milo, for a week. She sent so many photos/videos and played with him everyday. Her and her husband were absolutely wonderful. When my flight home unexpectedly got cancelled, she was able to watch him an extra day. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will be using her again in the future.
Courtney was great! My girl, Tula, is a big time daddy's girl. She was nervous at first, being without me and in a new place. On the second day, Tula got startled and barked at the neighbor and wouldn't stop. Courtney contacted me to ask how I deal with those kinds of things... The truth is I don't know! I'm a seat-of-my-pants kind of dog parent— I don't always know what I'm doing! I think my advice was something along the lines of "be confident and friendly," which I realized probably wasn't a huge help. At any rate, Courtney figured it out. Within a day Tula was able to relax, meet dogs around the neighborhood, and generally enjoy herself. I never heard about that neighbor again, which I took to mean that Tula didn't feel threatened by her surroundings. That's a testament to how safe she felt with Courtney. Courtney was very attentive to my desires and parenting techniques/methods and she asked lots of questions at our first meeting. She made sure Tula didn't sleep on furniture when I requested, at my request let Tula to say "hi" to other dogs and people even when she seemed anxious, etc., etc. I got lots of pictures and communication throughout the week to let me know that my sweet Tutu was safe and happy. My feeling is that if my dog is happy, I'm happy. Courtney did great and I'd definitely use her again in the future.
Jennifer is phenomenal!! I got so many adorable pupdates throughout the day, from how our pup was feeling, to photos of him smelling some pretty flowers (really!! it was the cutest!), to videos of him playing fetch. I love seeing that he’s having a great time, and it’s absolutely a doggie vacation when he’s at Jennifer’s. Highly highly recommend!
Greta is an amazing dog sitter! She provided lots of updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked incredibly happy and well cared for throughout the stay. She even gave my dog a bath, which was such a thoughtful offer. Juniper is also absolutely adorable, and it was wonderful that my dog had such a sweet companion to play with. I would highly recommend Greta to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!
Eddy and team made this one of the best boarding experiences we've ever had. From the very first meet, it was obvious he genuinely loves what he does. He took the time to properly get to know Xena, our Doberman, understanding her personality and needs. Agreeing to a trial night first meant so much to us, it showed he wanted Xena to be comfortable, not just booked in. He picked her up and dropped her off himself, and throughout the day we were spoiled with photos and updates that had us smiling every time our phones buzzed. You could just tell Xena was happy and having the time of her life. Then our flight got delayed, and without missing a beat, Eddy offered to keep her an extra night, no fuss, no stress, just genuine care. That kind of flexibility and warmth is rare. We left feeling so grateful to have found him. Eddy isn't just a sitter, he's someone who treats your dog like family. We'll be booking with him every time, and we can't recommend him enough!
Agustin is the absolute BEST! Oliver had the time of his life with him, and I would truly recommend him to anyone. He sent so many pictures and updates and was super flexible when I had to pick him up a little later than originally scheduled. I will definitely be using him again. Ollie was a tired and happy pup after his weekend of fun with Agustin!
Kathy was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was very accommodating timing wise for a meet and greet with her pup. Throughout my dog’s stay with her, she sent lots of photos and updates. My dog seemed so happy to be there and seemed like she had an awesome time. I plan on using Kathy again in the future!! Thank you Kathy!
Liz and Rodrigo, and their kids, were great with our dog Draven! He had such a good time with them in their home, and they were very accommodating of drop off and pick up times. They even found fun ways to keep him cool during the heat wave and sent cute photo check ins. I’ve already rebooked them for my next trip. Would highly recommend!
Highly recommend Megan! She made the whole process so seamless: scheduling and coordinating with her was an absolute breeze. She was super communicative the entire time and kept my mind at ease with tons of cute picture updates. Will definitely book with her again!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Allston on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,238 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Allston. About 91% of Allston 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
