“The absolute best - can’t recommend Wendy enough. We had her watch our dogs while we were visiting family in the area and she was super accommodating. The dogs came back happy!”

“Lindsey, Leland, and their kids took amazing care of our 13-year-old Golden Retriever, Callie. She had injured her back leg about a month before her stay, and they were incredibly thoughtful in managing her needs. They made sure she got all her medications and adjusted her walks based on what she could handle. I’m pretty sure Callie felt like she was at a spa—between the gentle attention, extra brushing, and love from their three wonderful kids, she was clearly in great hands. I accidentally mixed up the pickup date by a day, but Lindsey and Leland were incredibly accommodating and kept Callie that extra day without hesitation. I was so relieved, knowing she wouldn’t have to be shuffled to a different home just for one night. Throughout her stay, they regularly updated us with photos—Callie lounging in the grass, out on a walk, or happily curled up in someone’s lap. The peace of mind they gave us was priceless. If I could give Lindsey and Leland six stars, or more, I absolutely would. They went above and beyond in every way.”

“Timber stayed with ashley for 9 days and I got so many pictures he had the best time! He came home very tired from over a week of fun and a house full of love. Timber will definitely be returning!”

“Kim and David were incredible pet sitters for our dog, Cookie! They instantly put us at ease and treated Cookie with utmost care and attention. When we returned, Cookie was happy and well-cared for, and it was evident that she had been in excellent hands. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking loving and trustworthy pet sitters!”

“Heidi was amazing! She and her sweet family provided our dog with lots of care & attention. We also appreciated the daily photos and updates. Our dog came home happy, healthy & clean. I definitely recommend booking with her!”


About: My father taught me about life by giving me pets since I was able to walk. Animals are a gift and should be treated like they are family. I work full time, but I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Having a small farm myself, my kids, who are older, pitch in to give animals all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in property and enclosed kennels for exercise. I also enjoy taking them on walks and playing ball with them outside. Any specific requests will try to be honored…
“This was our first time ever using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! They took such incredible care of our dog and truly treated her like one of their own. It was obvious she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time she was there. She got along so well with their dog, and they played hard every single day, which made us so happy to see. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and communication while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”

“Suzi took really good care of Maggie. We really appreciated her care of our dog just as she was getting over a stomach bug and was on a special diet. We saw how active they were as Suzi sent us pics from the daily hikes - rain (mostly) or shine! We could see how happy our pup was on those hikes.. Our Maggie seemed very happy being with a welcoming family who gave her attention, exercise and cuddles. Maggie was comfortable with their family dog as well. In fact, she was not overly anxious to leave! Suzi has a nice property for a dog to explore and hike. Thank you so much for treating our pup as family! We will definitely re-book with you.”

“Mikey was amazing!!! The care she had for our fur babies was more than we could have ever asked for. 10/10 will definitely recommend!! She’s definitely the person you want if you updates and great care for fur babies.”
“Kara was excellent with our Golden Retriever, puppy. We were so lucky to have her take care of him. You could tell she truly cared about animals. She had a perfect place for our dog to stay with a great fenced in backyard. If we are in the area again we will contact Kara!”

“Fred and Isabelle were absolutely amazing! It was Jasper’s first time boarding and they were great at making him feel at home and giving updates to reassure us he was doing well. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you for taking such awesome care of Jasper!”

“Jennifer and Travis took awesome care of our girls while we were on vacation. They took lots of pictures for us to see and you can tell they care. We brought the girls beds and they got to sleep in there bedroom with there other 2 dogs. I would definitely recommend them for your dog care.”

“It was my first time using a dog sitter and Sherin made it a wonderful experience by communicating promptly and sending pictures of the dogs. I can tell they had fun and were in great hands!”

“Shaunett is the best. Our three fur babies lover her and her husband. They are so excited and content being in their home. Shaunett keeps me well informed and sends plenty of pics while they are in her care.”

About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.

“Oscar spent a few days with Heather and was clearly well looked after, relaxed and happy. The communication was great and it's always nice to receive pictures and updates—I can only recommend Heather and would happily book with her again. Cheers!”


“Serena is amazing. My dog fit right in as soon as I dropped him off. I loved the pictures she sent while we were on vacation. She is great with dogs. Bill says thank you for the homemade stew!”
“Carolyn is amazing!! She cared for my babies for 2.5 days and sent me pics every day! She was very sweet to my babies and was easy to reach. I felt comfortable not having to worry about them!”

“This was the first time we left our puppy Oakley and we were so nervous! Tammy put us right at ease from the beginning and she was so accommodating to Oakley’s needs. She was great to send messages and pictures daily of the things going on each day. Thanks Tammy for taking great care of our pup!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Athol
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Athol on Rover is $44.4 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 146 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Athol. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
100% of Athol 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 Athol 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 Athol 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 Athol.
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 Athol 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 ID 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.
