“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been luckier than to have found Mariella. Our dogs settled in very quickly and we could tell they were given great care from Mariella and her family.”
“OMG. Valerie is so amazing!! Not only do I have a diabetic dog who requires 2 needles a day, 2 days before my booking he got an ear infection that required antibiotics and the day after he got an eye infection!!! Valerie took it all in stride and communicated with me to coordinate with my sister to get meds. AND she also had my cat. I was away for a month and she made it so easy not to worry about my fur babies. Her home is clean, modern and her own animals are obviously well cared for. Highly, highly recommend. I’d give her 10 stars if I could ☺️”
“We had our big fluffy boy teddy boarded at their place for 3 weeks. Prashant and Aparna are friendly and dog lovers. They were very approachable and knows how to handle dogs. Our boy was happy and welcomed from initial meet and greet. He was comfortable and happy during his story. They shared photos and videos daily and were always responsive if we had any clarifications. Recommend them. Thank you very much.”
“I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving Farley with anyone else. Michelle kept me updated with pics and videos. Farley loved hanging with her kids, and playing in the backyard snow. I’d book again with no hesitation.”
“Priya took great care of our dog, Skittles. He is very high energy and can be anxious. She understood and took the time to give him some extra love and snuggles. She sent us photos through out the day. He had a wonderful stay with her. 10/10 would recommend Priya! 🙂”
“Gail is amazing! My 2.5-year-old husky came back happy, well cared for, and completely tired out after his stay. It was clear that her entire family helped take care of him, not just Gail, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him there. She provided regular photo updates and communicated very well throughout the stay. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“We recently adopted Daisy (our 80+ lb lap dog), and because of her size, we were nervous about finding the right fit for her first time away from us. From the very first message and phone call, through to a meet & greet, Catharine was welcoming and clearly confident in handling large dogs. Daisy had a bit of trouble settling in on her first night, and Catharine immediately reached out to collaborate with us on how to make her comfortable. Throughout the 5-night stay, Daisy was treated like family and Catharine provided fantastic updates and photos - long walks, patio lunches, lots of sun-bathing and fun :) When we picked Daisy up, she was happy, exhausted, and clearly incredibly well-loved. Catharine is professional, communicative, and truly an expert caregiver. We will absolutely be rebooking for future trips when available!”
“Kayla took excellent care of Neo. He is a big boy with some nervous triggers and Kayla was able to show gentle support for him and genuinely cared about making him feel comfortable. When we showed up for a meet and greet, Kayla even had a new toy for Neo! Neo came home happy! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend as well for our ability to know he was safe and doing ok.. We will be calling Kayla again for our Neo!!”
“I was dubious about leaving my dogs with someone I didn't know, but the couple I decided to leave them with are simply amazing!! My dogs loved them so much and they created a bond with the sitters dog too. I received daily updates and photos and was so happy to know by babies were in safe hands. Thank you so much for raking care of my fur babies. I will definitely be in contact again, and I highly recommend this couple to look after your dogs in a safe friendly and caring home.”
“Colleen is a very caring dogsitter. Her calmness and experience made her the perfect fit for my two senior wiener dogs. She has a lovely setup with a great spot for walks along the river. She sent photos that helped me see my boys were in good hands. Will absolutely be booking her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“I left my 15 year old cat with Taryn for 14 days. He is extremely bonded with me and is quite sociable at home in his own familiar surroundings. Bailey had a difficult time adjusting to new surroundings without his people and pretty much stayed in one area of the house. Taryn was good at sending updates and pictures regularly. She spent quality time with Bailey assuring he was in a safe place. Sure enough just days before I came to get him did he get more courageous to tour more of her house. When I picked Bailey up, he looked almost healthier than when I dropped him off although he wasn’t ill. I’m so very thankful I met Taryn. She’s very knowledgeable about feline behaviour and has a huge heart for all animals. Bailey is ecstatic to be home with his person and we are both very thankful for the love and care he received.”
“Stefanie is awesome!!! She watched our 4 month old puppy and small rescue shepard mix for a week before Christmas, she sent us updates everyday and even made us cute ornaments of our pups faces. We did a day of daycare before hand and it helped our puppies feel safe and happy going back there for the week. We will definitely board our dogs with Stefanie everytime!!!”
“This was Oscar’s first stay with Cindy and Marc, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They took such wonderful care of him, kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear he was treated like part of the family. It was so nice to hear that Oscar made them laugh during playtime! When I came to pick him up, he barely paid any attention to me at first and didn’t seem to want to leave. 😄 That’s actually very typical of Oscar whenever he has a great time somewhere, so to me, that was the biggest compliment they could receive. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would not hesitate to leave Oscar with Cindy and Marc again. In fact, Oscar’s next stay with them is already booked, and I know he’ll be excited to come back. I highly recommend Cindy and Marc to anyone looking for kind, caring, and trustworthy pet sitters.”
“We are extremely happy we had to leave our home with short noses and with no hesitation Randi helped us oh and Trip had a ball And I was sleeping because he’s exhausted all the fun he had with her and your family”
“Pei went absolutely above and beyond in caring for my dog, Louisa. Louisa is a nervous mastiff and can be quite particular, so finding someone I trust with her is no small thing, and Pei exceeded every expectation. From the start, Pei created such a calm and welcoming environment. Louisa was given the time and space she needed to settle in at her own pace, and it was clear she felt safe to gradually explore, enjoy the trails, and grow more comfortable each day. Pei kept me consistently updated, which gave me huge peace of mind. The updates were thorough, reassuring, and showed not just experience, but genuine care and affection for Louisa. What really stood out was the extra effort and attention to detail. Louisa is an extremely fussy eater, and Pei took the time to make thoughtful adjustments, adding toppings, adapting her meals, and ensuring she stayed well fed and happy. That kind of effort meant so much. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel incredibly relieved and grateful to have found such a wonderful “home away from home” for my sensitive girl.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs to be met, so I take the time to get to know them and provide individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m currently in school part-time, I will have plenty of time to love and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding all day weekends and weekdays after 2 PM. With summer coming, my availability will open fully. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet's individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I follow their established routines to ensure consistency and minimize stress. I also provide regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
“I would definitely recommend her! She took great care of my pup and kept me updated the entire time he was staying with her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Cambridge is $50

Our dog Astor, is a very hyper boy and with him being so big we haven't been able to find anyone that could handle him. Taryn did so amazing with him. He was so happy and relaxed when I picked him out, it was amazing! She did a incredible job, not only with him but also in reassuring me, answering of questions, and providing wonderful updates on his days with her. There's no one else I could ever imagine leaving him him after today. Thank you do much!
Wow 👌 Mariella is amazing with our little simba. She's very polite and on time. She takes good care of him, always tired when he comes back lol 😆 she bonded with him right away. When we say "simba lets go to Mariella he knows hahaha goes to door and waits. He knows when hes going and that's a good sign. She is amazing and her son is great with simba. She has a big backyard and lots of space for him to run around. We left for 2 weeks and she kept us informed all the times, photos, videos. She made sure he was happy and that we were as well. I recommend her 💯 thank you for watching simba and she's great with scheduling as well.
Divya and Vaibhav took such loving and thorough care of my dog for 4 days. We were always updated with photos, videos and daily activities. They got creative with solutions when my dog was having feeding challenges and made sure she was fed and exercised. They made sure her normal routine was maintained but also went over and beyond to provide additional enrichment activities. They really treated Bell like one of their own and Bell seemed so happy with them. I would recommend both of them anytime for dog sitting.
I cannot thank them enough! I had a last-minute request, and they were incredibly accommodating and flexible. They took amazing care of Bella, and she had a fantastic day. It's such a relief to find sitters you can trust on short notice. I will absolutely be using their services again!
We had an amazing experience and couldn’t be happier with the care Coco received! From the moment we dropped Coco off, it was clear she genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. She followed every detail in our care guide, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she treated Coco like one of her own. One of our favorite parts was receiving multiple photos and updates throughout the stay. It was so reassuring to see Coco happy, comfortable, and having a great time while we were away. When we picked Coco up, she was relaxed, well cared for, and clearly loved. It’s not easy trusting someone else with your fur baby, but she exceeded all of our expectations. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Coco—we’ll definitely be booking with you again!
Rafael and his family were very loving towards Bella during her stay with them. They communicated with us on a regular basis and even taught her a new trick ( dancing) that they shared with us in a video. We are definitely going to use Rafael again. Bella really enjoyed her stay with them. Thanks again

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cambridge 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 favourite hang-out spots in your Cambridge
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.
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 dog, 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 do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
