“Vanessa took wonderful care of my dear Clementine. Clementine was very happy in Vanessa's care. I'm very grateful for how well cared for Clementine was with Vanessa!”
“Dohwee was wonderful - he took special care of Leia sending me daily updates and photos which I so appreciated. He was proactive and reached out to ask about tick medication given the change in season and was happy to pick up the medicine from my vet. Leia seemed happy and fulfilled when I went to collect her and I would definitely enlist Dohwee's support again!”
“Phillipa was wonderful. She took the time to understand my dogs needs which I’m very grateful for. Ava got plenty of love and exercise, and I can tell that she felt very safe and cared for during her stay. Thank you so much Phillipa!”
“Ruya and Berg are a great pair of dog sitters, our pup is always so comfortable in their home. Friendly, good people that love dogs. I would highly recommend.”
“Matias was so great watching my beagle Casey! She had a great time running and playing in the field by his house, and Matias kept me updated daily with her status! I could tell she was even sad to leave and can’t wait to use Matias again!”
“Frodo had a great stay- enjoyed playing with the hosts' dogs, I got great pictures and video updates, easy to communicate with. Would absolutely use again.”
“Winn was the best to work with! He was extremely responsive to messages, met us for a meet and greet with our pup to get her comfortable with his space. He was attentive to our pup paying close attention to her temperament and making sure she felt comfortable in his space. She is wary of new people but warmed up to him nicely. Highly recommend Winn and we will be returning clients for sure.”
“Maddy was so wonderful with my dog Jester!! We got tons of pictures and videos and you could tell how happy Jester was staying there. I was assured the whole time that my dog was well taken care of. We will use her again!”
“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Dakota and Jax had a great stay with Jing! I felt happy and confident knowing they were having a great time through getting pictures sent throughout the day of the doggies playing. She has a great yard for the dogs to play in and set up a meet and greet before so they dogs could meet her and her husband!”
“Ashley and her family were lovely and warm and we felt immediately comfortable leaving our dog. He got along well with their dog and I could tell he was also very comfortable in their home. My pup is a high energy dog, not for everyone, but I really appreciated how Ashley seemed to like him for who it is and enjoyed the crazy parts of his personality! He came back to us in perfect health and happiness. So lucky to find her and we’ll definitely be bringing our dog back - if we can get on her calendar!”
“Steven was phenomenal. He sent us daily updates and photos, and it was clear Carly felt completely at home. She came back happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Truly an exceptional experience.”

“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!”
“Perfect! Murphy was well loved. Joe also did a great job of keeping us updated and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Will definitely book again.”
“Jennifer was amazing and very communicative. Our dog Pepper loved being with her, as she was taken on walks, ball throws and taken care of. We will definitely rebook with Jennifer in the future for our dog care/boarding needs.”

Ben was amazing with our dog Aster! We did a meet and greet beforehand and left Aster with him for 3 nights. He gave Aster tons of attention, walks, and playtime. Ben made sure to keep us updated with tons of pictures and messages. If you're looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, Ben is the guy to go with!
Hannah was amazing with Mochi. While Mochi is easy to take care of at home, her reactiveness is something to be watched outside, and Hannah navigated through it without any issues allowing Mochi to have a great time. Mochi seemed very happy when I picked her up and I also got plenty of updates throughout the stay.
Mary was absolutely wonderful with my dog! He stayed with her for a week, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring hands. She took great care of him and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful to Mary and would definitely trust her with my dog again. Highly recommend!
I really appreciated Kavita and Saunak watching Rovie for the long weekend while I was traveling! They sent frequent picture and video updates and their dogs seemed to get along great with Rovie. I felt very comfortable having him stay with them and would certainly book again for the future.
Julie was the absolute best! Our dog Buck is home, happy, clean and clearly enjoyed his time. Julie is responsive and sent so many photos and updates. Our kids were so happy to know our pup was well cared for while we were away. We will absolutely be using Julie again!
I needed a sitter last minute for a trip and Eliza was amazing! She was easy to communicate with before and during the story. I appreciated her flexibility in accommodating a last minute request and that she was able to change her schedule to work for Olive. Olive was immediately comfortable with her and her boyfriend Travis.
Five stars isn't enough for Niusha! I recently boarded my puppy, Luna, with her and couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care she provided. From the very beginning, Niusha was highly responsive and deeply invested in understanding Luna’s routine and needs. She took the extra time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put my mind at ease. During the stay, Niusha and her roommate Olly kept Luna active and happy, even taking her to a nearby park to play with other dogs, and sent me constant updates with lots of pictures and videos. What truly sets Niusha apart is how far she goes above and beyond. When Luna had something in her eye, Niusha provided gentle care and even took her to the vet just to be entirely sure she was okay. Knowing Luna was in such loving, attentive, and capable hands gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I will absolutely reach out to Niusha for any future pet care needs, and I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking for top-tier care for their pup!
She was hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She always treated Alex with so much love and care, and she was incredibly flexible whenever my schedule changed unexpectedly. We’re leaving Boston soon, and I’m genuinely so sad that she won’t be able to take care of Alex anymore. That’s how wonderful every boarding experience with her has been — I always felt completely comfortable knowing Alex was in such good hands. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Alex during my two years in Boston. We’ll miss you so much, Lex! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Allston on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 4,149 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Allston. About 90% 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.
