“Mia ands Taowei watched our dog for six days. They were so kind, attentive and diligent in caring for our sensitive pup.

They will be our first choice for dog sitters going forward and we would happily recommend them to others!”

She was very communicative and gave us many updates. We had a few special requests, as our dog is dog reactive, and she really listened to us. I would recommend her to anyone! We'll definitely rebook again.”

Melodi is definitely our go-to person whenever we need to leave Ron do to travel or work!”

“What a lovely family. It was hard to leave our wonderful dog, but we were so happy to see the fabulous care, attention, exercise, and fun lavished on him.

We enthusiastically recommend Tara and her fantastic family to care for your pet.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allston
Qingnan was amazing! She welcomed my very shy cat into her home patiently and took such great care of her, even with a last-minute and long term booking. She was very communicative and provided plenty of info and pictures to reassure me that my baby was doing okay. I would 100% book Qingnan again and recommend her to anyone who needs a cat-sitter!
Matias was fantastic with Canelo! He sent photos and updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. Canelo was a bit shy on day one but Matias made him feel right at home, and by the next morning he was confidently playing with other dogs. Pickup and dropoff were smooth and easy to coordinate. It’s clear Matias genuinely cares about the pups he watches. We’ll definitely be rebooking!
Phillipa was wonderful. She was easy to communicate with throughout the entire process of booking, meet and greet, and during the stay. She sent tons of picture updates which was so appreciated. She really seemed to enjoy dogs and spending time with them. My pup was relaxed and happy during the stay.
Danielle put me and my anxious dog Josey at ease right away when we met her and her dog Moose. It is clear that Danielle loves dogs and is a skilled communicator with them. Josey enjoyed her weekend stay very much. Danielle sent updates and photos each day, and the drop off and pickup arrangements were easy. She is a great find!
Maddy was amazing with our two dogs. She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates and pictures. You can tell she is infatuated with dogs and gives them so much love and attention. She also easily dealt with the medications for our older dog and the needs of our young puppy and we felt great leaving the two of them with her for more than three weeks. We will definitely be back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Allston on Rover is $63.13 per night (as of August 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 4,220 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.
