“The best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Christina was extremely flexible and communicative! She provided photos of our pup having the best time all weekend and frankly our dog was less than impressed with us when we picked her up. Will definitely be booking her again.”
“Zelun and his wife took AMAZING care of my dog while I was gone for over a week! They sent pictures and videos, took him on a little day trip (pre approved) and definitely loved my pup as their own while I was away :)”
“Lyn watched Jack for 5 nights, it was his first time staying with her. Lyn was very professional, flexible, and caring! She was easy to communicate with and I received daily updates and pictures from her. Jack seemed to have a good time with her, I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
“Hunter took great care of my dog Maizie while he was in her care for 2.5 weeks. She is very communicative and provided frequent updates on Maizie. Maizie had a great time and enjoyed playing with her dogs as well! I would use Hunter again for future boarding and I would also recommend Hunter to any one looking for any dog services!”
“Millie had the best time with Lynne. She did not want to leave! Lynne was very communicative and sent us pictures throughout her stay. We would highly recommend!”
“Todd came to our rescue for a last minute request for an overnight. Henry is 15 and while he sleeps a lot he needs a little more help than a younger dog. Todd was gracious and caring of Henry. He’s a great communicator and very easy to work with!”
“With very little notice Philippa arranged her schedule in order to take my boy for an overnight for them to have some get to know you time before he stays with her for the first time for a whole week. Philippa was a great communicator, understanding and flexible. My pup had a great time with lots of walkies and play. He was exhausted when I picked him up. She sent lots of pics which I loved and appreciated. I highly recommend and am feeling very confident that my guy will be well cared for while I’m traveling.”
“Amazing! Our doggies almost didn’t wanna come home, they had so much fun. I asked for updates throughout the day, Jo was super on top of it and responded to any question very quickly! Highly recommend and will use again.”
“Hana was fantastic. She took great care of my pup, and was very available with updates and pics. I also had some travel delays during my booking, and she was very flexible with my pick up. She put me at ease leaving my pup with her. I highly recommend Hana for dog boarding.”
“Nainika was so kind and patient with Bailey, and she is obviously a big dog lover! Even though Bailey had some tummy issues, he was well taken care of and was really happy staying with Nainika.”
“Michiko and Clifford are great. This is the second time my dog stayed with them and they took great care of him both times. I look forward to more stays in the future. Thank you!”
“We were so nervous about leaving our dog since the first time we adopted him but Chanel put us at ease with a couple meet and greets. She proactively sent updates throughout the weekend and Milo seemed like a happy and safe pup. We look forward to having Chanel care for our fur baby again.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Fernanda. This was my very first time leaving my pup (just shy of 5 months old), and I was nervous he might struggle with separation anxiety. But from the moment I dropped him off, all my worries melted away. She took such amazing care of him, showering him with attention, love, and patience. He absolutely adores her daughter too, which made it even more special. What really gave me peace of mind were the constant updates, photos, videos, and texts that showed just how happy and comfortable he was. Honestly, he was having so much fun I don’t think he even had time to miss me! Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to actually relax and enjoy my vacation. I’m beyond grateful for the love and care she gave my pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and truly wonderful sitter. We both can’t wait to see her again! 🐾❤️”
About: As a lifelong animal lover I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes and I absolutely adore them! No matter what, all pets deserve to have a great and adventure filled day and I’m happy to help when you’re busy or plans change. I will always put your dog first when it comes to safety and enjoyment having been trained and years of taking care of our own family dog. My number one priority is to make sure your pup is happy and safe! I love to play, excercise, walk or just hand with them whatever their needs may be. I am WFH with a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your babies whether for a walk or to pet sit. They will get all the care required anytime they are in my supervision which includes lots of fun and activities! I have a designated dog patio in my building along with a very secured home. I also have the space for a crate if that is desired for pet owners. I’m also in the heart of Boston and can take them on many walks to and from the Boston Common
“Aurora took our dog for his first rover experience. She was very communicative and sent pictures of my happy pup. She eased our fears of leaving him with a new family. We'd love to utilize her again if the need arises!”
“Once again, Ruya was a great help in watching and taking care of our dog! She is always very responsive and sends lots of pictures and videos! We love Ruya and will continue to use her boarding service in the future!”
“Yang has a wonderful caring family that loves animals. My dog can be scared and nervous about new people and other dogs but he loved Yang and her family. Because of my dog’s behavior, she agreed to do a trial stay. I appreciate how Yang kept me updated on how my dog is doing.”
“Jinyu was the best dog sitter we could have dreamed of for our puppy. As new puppy parents, we really appreciated how carefully she followed our instructions. She was kind, thorough, and very easy to work with. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while also allowing us the space to fully enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend working with her!”
“Ivis was a wonderful sitter. She was happy to come pick Hugo up and drop him off and was very flexible with her times and communicative about when she would be arriving. One Hugo was with her we got regular updates and a Hugo had a great time. Highly recommended!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cambridge
MIchael was taking care of our red golden Leo for 10 days and was sending daily several pictures showing Leo at play with other dogs - you could tell that had really good time. Leo doesn't get so much excersize when with us. We were happy with Michael's dogboarding and will use Michael also in the future.
Emily was FANTASTIC! Our pup was so happy as evidenced by the pictures she sent and how he had to say goodbye before he left. Whenever there was a question she was quick to ask us and incredibly responsible. He went for long walks and had so much fun. We will definitely use Emily again.
We are so happy to have found Nyna! Right from the start, her warm, gentle, and welcoming presence calmed our Mica who is sometimes nervous in unfamiliar settings. Nyna asked all the right questions, extended her affectionate nature immediately, and we were confident in her care. Mica returned tired and happy, with great pictures and communication as well. Couldn't be better - thank you, Nyna!
K is amazing! My dog Sidon had his own vacation while I had mine. She is very caring and everytime she sent me the pictures of Sidon, he was so happy. She is also very thoughtful - she asked thorough questions in advance to accommodate the need of Sidon. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cambridge is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $98 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,047 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cambridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Cambridge can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cambridge home-away-from-home, 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 Cambridge.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cambridge 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 , 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 .
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.
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.
