“Howie runs into Elizabeth and Rodrigo’s home every time I drop him off like it’s his own home!! That’s all you can ask for as a pet parent!! They are so communicative, flexible and kind.”
“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.”
“I would highly recommend Julie. She watched my golden retriever for a weekend while I was out of town. She send frequent updates and photos which I loved. Julie clearly loves dogs very much and that is evident in how well she takes care of them.”
About: I have 1-2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience working with anxious pets, ensuring they feel safe and at ease. I use positive reinforcement techniques and tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be in loving, attentive hands! I have completed the Red Cross Pet First Aid course in order to be prepared for any events that may occur. I work a flexible, remote job so I am available to tend to your babies as needed! My daily schedule starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m., but I'm flexible to your needs! I have a large, private porch with plenty of potty spots for your baby, as well as a park within a 5 minute walk if that is what your pet needs. My dog, Juniper, will be a great companion for yours!
“Lyn is incredibly experienced with seemingly all ages of dogs and was fantastic about keeping us updated on how Elly was doing. I will undoubtedly get in contact with Lyn again in the future.”
“Lynne was amazing with my sensitive gal! She was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. I got regular photo updates and could tell Gina was relaxed and happy the whole time. I’d absolutely trust her again for future stays.”
“Andreas took such wonderful care of our small doodle. He seems to genuinely love dogs, and our pup had a great time staying with him. He also sent along many photos and updates of their day. 10/10!”
“Rylee and roommate, Megan, did a great job caring for our dog, Scout. They are young women, very responsible, with a good space and ability to care for dogs while travelling. Walking paths and open areas for the dogs to walk and explore nearby. Thumbs up!!”
“Highly recommend Rachel. She was very flexible with scheduling as we had to adjust times for both drop off and pick up. Bodhi was very comfortable which we could see from the many photos and video that Rachel sent to us. Such a comfort to know our girl was loved. Thank you, Rachel!”
“Grace and Andrew were great! Super responsive, kept us constantly updated on Gus and all the fun activities they did with him, and sent lots of photos which we appreciated! They were able to keep up with our high-energy boy and took great care of him. Thank you guys, highly recommend!”
“John is so good to our dog. We’ve left her with him multiple times and trust him to take care of her. John sends thorough updates and great pictures. We always look forward to receiving his updates. We will definitely be rebooking with him in the future!”
“Guillermo is fantastic. He was attentive to our old pup and wonderfully responsive to us. He is kind and calm, and it was clear our dog felt so comfortable and content. Our dog had an upset stomach and Guillermo was gracious and amazing at taking the extra steps to give him canned food and medicine. He sent great updates and pictures, I wish I had found him sooner and look forward to having him care for our dog again.”
“What a wonderful experience I had on vacation knowing my Tuna was safe with a kind and loving person! I received daily photo messages, sometimes two. Always kept informed and in the loop with what his day to day was looking like, from watching movies to playing with this really gross toy he is obsessed with. We will definitely be back for future trips. Thanks Barbara!”
“Michelle always takes excellent care of my girl, Gertie. She is responsive, provides regular updates, and is the kind of auntie every pup hopes to have. Gertie can't wait for her next sleepover there!”
“Ilsa is a great dog sitter! She sent me tons of cute pics and videos of my dog during his stay. She lives in a great neighborhood with a yard which I know my dog loved. I would absolutely recommend her services and definitely book with her again!”
“Linda is fantastic!! She took very good care of our dog Nellie, and was very attentive to all of her needs. We would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter who goes out of her way to make your dog as comfortable and happy as possible. She is a great communicator sending us daily updates and photos. Thank you Linda we appreciate everything that you did for Nellie!!”

Mallory was a perfect sitter for our sweet, anxious Murphy. Mallory was very prompt and accommodating at drop off and pick up, and she checked in with us 2x/day while away, just as she said. Murphy seemed to settle in really well, which for a first time with a new sitter is impressive. Highly recommend.
John is an incredible dog sitter. Ahead of Luisa's stay, he asked us all the right questions - can she go up/down the stairs, what is the best way to pick her up, etc. That alone was so reassuring to us given that our dog is a senior and dachshunds are prone to back issues. We received frequent updates and photos throughout the week, so we were never left wondering how she was doing. We could tell by the photos that within a day or so she was completely comfortable and up to her usual antics. Having to find a sitter is one of the harder parts of traveling and I am so relieved to have found John. He is intentional about meeting your dog precisely where they are at and takes every step possible to ensure their safety and comfort. We'll be sure to book him again the next time we are out of town.
Liz and Rodrigo, and their kids, were great with our dog Draven! He had such a good time with them in their home, and they were very accommodating of drop off and pick up times. They even found fun ways to keep him cool during the heat wave and sent cute photo check ins. I’ve already rebooked them for my next trip. Would highly recommend!
We had a great experience with Angella! She sent regular photo updates and our pups seemed happy and comfortable during their stay. When we picked them up she had even washed all of the bowls and items we had sent with them, and sent us home with extra treats which was such a nice surprise! Thank you so much, Angella!
Dalin was fantastic with our pup. She asked great questions before we left and went out of her way to make sure Linxie was comfortable, happy and well taken care of. She sent us updates, pictures and videos while we were away. Linxie and Dalin's dog Charlie got along very well. Our girl came back very relaxed and happy! Looking forward to having Linxie stay with her again.
Kurt was amazing with Piggy! He asked great questions prior to the visit to ensure he knew how to best care for Pigglet. I got daily updates with photos - he took great care when Pig got stung by a wasp when out playing. I had no stress while I was away knowing she was in good hands!
Fernanda was awesome!! She accommodated our last minute booking and took great care of our dog Tamsin. Even though Tamsin can be pretty anxious, from the videos and pictures Fernanda regularly sent us it was clear that Tamsin was comfortable under Fernanda’s care. Would definitely recommend.
Julia was amazing! She agreed to watch our pup for a long holiday weekend with very little notice. She went out of her way to make sure he had a great time, especially in the midst of a heatwave when she took it upon herself to take our pup swimming (checking in beforehand to make sure it was alright with us). She really went above and beyond. She's great at communicating and our pup loved her! Will def rebook.
We couldn't have asked for better care for our dog while we were away over the holiday weekend. Krystal and William tailored their care to Benny's needs, made special treats for him, took him on plenty of walks, and sent dozens of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. It was such a relief knowing that our little guy was in good hands while we were gone. Will be booking again in the future :)
I had a great experience with Augustin, and I would happily book with him again. He was professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. Gogol had a wonderful time in his care, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands while I was traveling overseas. Throughout the stay, he kept me updated and treated Gogol as if he were his own. When I picked Gogol up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—a true sign of a great sitter. I also appreciated his reliability, thoughtfulness, and genuine love for dogs. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Gogol!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Cambridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cambridge on Rover is $58.85 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 4,090 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 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.
92% of Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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 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 favorite 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.
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 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 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.
