About: I WORK ON SITE M-F, 9-5pm. I have some flexibility and can come home for lunch. 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

About: Hi! I’m a college student with a lifelong passion for animals. I grew up with both dogs and cats, fostered (and later adopted!) two rescue kittens, and recently raised a puppy who just turned one. At home, I care for 3 cats and 2 dogs, so I’m very comfortable with multi-pet households and understand the different needs of both young and senior pets. I’ve even looked after mice! Being around animals makes me feel at home, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the same love and attention I give my own. I am free anytime after 5pm M-F (excluding commute) and have open availability on weekends! However, I am happy to accommodate to whatever your needs are! I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules and playtime to walks, medications, and cuddle sessions. I’m attentive to their body language, energy levels, and individual personalities to make sure they feel safe and loved! In your home, I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away.

“Elliot and Jo were great with this trial stay for our pup, Tony. We were able to schedule a Meet & Greet promptly, and we all agreed to a one night trial stay to ensure that they could meet Tony’s needs and our expectations. We got multiple updates with photos and/or videos and they followed his instructions to a T. We’re glad to have found new, quality sitters to care for our baby when we travel!”

Rongan was amazing when it came to caring for our puppy, Cashew. She was incredibly communicative and had a deep understanding of the intricate details involved in puppy care. I highly recommend her services and will definitely book with her again in the future. She truly deserves a perfect 10/10 recommendation!

Charlotte took excellent care of our timid velcro pup, Lola! She sent us frequent updates and pictures throughout the boarding, asked thoughtful questions about our dog's needs, and provided a stress-free environment. She was knowledgeable, communicative, and attentive. Seeing Lola wagging her tail on walks with Charlotte gave us so much peace of mind while away from home. We had a lovely experience boarding our medium sized often skittish Lola with Charlotte and would absolutely book with her again.

Fernanda was absolutely phenomenal. This was my first time leaving Tuck (5 mnth mini-Aussie) overnight with a Rover sitter, so I was a little nervous. Fernanda put me at ease - she took time to have a thoughtful meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure it was a good fit, and she was incredibly warm, accommodating, and communicative throughout his stay. She sent frequent updates and videos, so I could see that Tuck was happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. I especially loved that she worked on new tricks with him and kept him engaged, stimulated, and well exercised. It was clear that he received plenty of attention and affection and was treated like part of the family. Tuck clearly loved his time with Fernanda, and I felt confident that he was in caring and capable hands. I could not have asked for a better first overnight experience, and I would happily trust her with him again.

Shana took awesome care of my pup! I plan to use her again. She was also super flexible and very easy to plan and communicate with. I had a slightly earlier pick time as my flight home changed several times due to a cancellation, rebooking, and then two more delays so her flexibility was really helpful and made everything easy!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Cambridge

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.
