“Our rescue hound, Biscuit, who had a troubled background, spent a happy week with Patrick. Our concerns about leaving Biscuit with a stranger for a week was assuaged by daily photos and videos of our boy happily napping on a bed provided by Patrick and exploring his new neighbourhood enthusiastically. Thank you, Patrick! We shall be calling you again! Dan Cronin, Hank Anderson and Biscuit Somerville”
“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!”
About: I have a dog of my own, so I know the deal. Walking my dog and hanging out with her is the best part of my day, and I would love for your dog to join. Weekends are my focus and I’m free for shenanigans and long walks! I have my own dog so 3-4walks on the weekend is our normal. I would consider weekdays, but we would have to talk because I work full time on site M-F, so during the week they would have a 20-30min morning walk and 1-2 afternoon walks. I have a well mannered dog friendly dog at home and I would care for your pet like I would mine…which means a lot of attention. Dogs would have to be able to do 3 flights of stairs or be pick-up-able
“Our dog Tula loved Matias! Kind person, great communication, and even had handmade treats to give to the pups. Overall very positive experience!”
“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“Maddy was so wonderful with my dog Jester!! We got tons of pictures and videos and you could tell how happy Jester was staying there. I was assured the whole time that my dog was well taken care of. We will use her again!”
“Kathryn was amazing! Extremely easy to communicate with, took the time to get to know and ask about my dog's needs and took great care of her for a weekend. I received daily updates and pictures and could tell she was well cared for. I would definitely both recommend and book with Kathryn again!”
“Veronica was terrific with my little Shih Tzu. She cheerfully coped with administering a somewhat complicated regimen of pills and eyedrops, and kept me posted on how he was doing. Would definitely use again!”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“Jo and Adam took great care of my 2.5 year old cavapoo. Sent photos each day with updates and I felt like she was in good hands while I was out of town for 3 nights.”
“Linda took amazing care of our girl Olive while I was away for work. She is a very experienced dog sitter and asked all the right questions during our meet and greet. She was flexible with pick up and drop off and communicative through the week. Would definitely use her again!”
“Rachel was great with our German shepherd/ Australian shepherd mix! She sent pictures multiple times a day with an update on how she was doing and followed any instructions I had given prior to dropping our dog off. She deeply cares for the dogs well being and does anything she can for their best interest! We highly recommend Rachel to watch your fur baby ?”
“I needed a sitter last minute for a trip and Eliza was amazing! She was easy to communicate with before and during the story. I appreciated her flexibility in accommodating a last minute request and that she was able to change her schedule to work for Olive. Olive was immediately comfortable with her and her boyfriend Travis.”
“Mia and Taowei were the BEST caretakers for our cocker spaniel, Dodger! I left him with them for 4 days. The minute Mia welcomed him into her living room, I could tell that Dodger felt at home. He walked around checking out the space and then immediately settled down. We brought his bed and a favorite animal so he had some familiar objects around him. Taowei played catch with Dodger, his favorite game, multiple times each day in the backyard. They took him for long walks around their neighborhood and let him explore to his heart's content. When he got wet in the rain, they even brushed and dried him off with a small hair dryer (which I am amazed he enjoyed). Dodger got so much love and attention from Mia and Taowei that we know from the pictures and videos they sent that Dodger had a fantastic time. We definitely will contact Mia and Taowei to take care of Dodger the next time we must go away. I can not think of a better and more caring household in which to leave our very special family pet.”
“Our pup, Wally, loves staying with Tyler and Caro! We get great updates, know he’s getting good exercise, and are confident he’s getting excellent 24:7 care. Highly recommend!”
“I strongly recommend Michiko and Clifford. I truly appreciate how well they took care of Juju. She always looked so happy in the photos they sent me. Juju seemed comfortable, relaxed, and joyful the whole time. They took her on wonderful walks around the neighborhood, to the hills, parks and through nature. I feel so lucky to have found them. Thank you so much for everything”
“Sunny was amazing with Roxie. She is elderly and he was ready to take on the challenge that comes with caring for an older dog. Sunny’s communication throughout Roxie’s stay was excellent. He sent a ton of pictures so we could see how she was doing and reached out when he had questions or concerns. My daughter loved getting pictures throughout the day and it helped her miss Roxie a little less.”
“Jennifer was amazing and very communicative. Our dog Pepper loved being with her, as she was taken on walks, ball throws and taken care of. We will definitely rebook with Jennifer in the future for our dog care/boarding needs.”
“Lorena was so attentive and responsive with updates — she went above and beyond to ensure my pet’s stay was great! I would recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter :)”
“We’ve used Aurora multiple times for boarding with Hondo and she’s done a great job! Hondo is always excited to go and she’s very responsive and provides lots of updates.”

Shuhua was simply WONDERFUL! SO very loving towards my very attention-loving cavapoo. She was also so great about accommodating his "quirks" - like where he wants to have his dinner bowl and where he wanted to sleep. She was also great about providing pics throughout the day along with very sweet messages about him. I felt that he was in amazing and loving hands. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

Five stars isn't enough for Niusha! I recently boarded my puppy, Luna, with her and couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care she provided. From the very beginning, Niusha was highly responsive and deeply invested in understanding Luna’s routine and needs. She took the extra time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put my mind at ease. During the stay, Niusha and her roommate Olly kept Luna active and happy, even taking her to a nearby park to play with other dogs, and sent me constant updates with lots of pictures and videos. What truly sets Niusha apart is how far she goes above and beyond. When Luna had something in her eye, Niusha provided gentle care and even took her to the vet just to be entirely sure she was okay. Knowing Luna was in such loving, attentive, and capable hands gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I will absolutely reach out to Niusha for any future pet care needs, and I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking for top-tier care for their pup!
Is it possible to leave TEN STARS?! ⭐️ Linda is AWESOME! My pup was right at home the minute we did our meet and greet! Linda is a true dog lover and she is so warm, so kind and just a joy to be around. My fur baby was in such good hands with her. I am so happy and grateful for her help and we both can’t wait to see her again. THANK YOU, Linda!!!!! 🐾⭐️
Elizabeth was amazing! I always appreciate when someone is willing to do a meet and greet prior to staying! She was more than happy too! I also unfortunately had a terrible travel day on my way home and ended up being delayed 6 hours, and she was very responsive and accommodating which I couldn’t have been more grateful for! She sent me photos and updates everyday! Would love to book her again in the future!
She was hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She always treated Alex with so much love and care, and she was incredibly flexible whenever my schedule changed unexpectedly. We’re leaving Boston soon, and I’m genuinely so sad that she won’t be able to take care of Alex anymore. That’s how wonderful every boarding experience with her has been — I always felt completely comfortable knowing Alex was in such good hands. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Alex during my two years in Boston. We’ll miss you so much, Lex! ❤️
I was very nervous about leaving Pippa with someone other than a family member for the first time, but I’m so happy we connected with Sadie. Pippa clearly had such a wonderful experience with her. Sadie kept me updated throughout my time away with messages and pictures, and it was obvious that Pippa was so well cared for and having a relaxing time. I will certainly trust Sadie with Pippa anytime I’m away and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog!
Mehlani was amazing!! We’ve never left our dog with a sitter before, however we felt so comfortable leaving her with Mehlani, and knew she was in great care during our vacation. She sent us pictures every day and provided us with lots of updates. Thank you Mehlani! We will definitely rebook with you.
I always worry when Wesley is with a new sitter and this was going to be for over a week. I saw all of the positive reviews for Michael and I can attest that they are 100% spot on. Michael shared so many great photos of Wesley during his stay running and playing with the other dogs and having a fantastic time. You can see the exuberance in his face in half the photos. He was having so much fun that I was actually a little worried that he wouldn't want to come home! I whole heartedly recommend Michael and his concierge door-to-door service and will absolutely use him again.
Ashley was an excellent sitter! This was our first experience using Rover and leaving our dog with a new person. It went incredibly well. Ashley was super communicative and answered our questions before we even asked. She was flexible with timing for the meet and greet and for drop off and pickup. We loved the photos and the frequent updates! It was wonderful knowing our dog was being well taken care of (and getting lots of play time in the backyard) while we were away. He also needs medicine and can sometimes be difficult with taking it, but Ashley had no problems. Glad to have another option for dog care when we travel! Thank you to Ashley and her family for making our dog another one of their pack for the weekend 😀

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Cambridge on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of September 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 4,119 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Cambridge. About 90% of Cambridge 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.
