“I can’t say enough good things about Victoria and Antonio’s superb care for my senior dog, Rocky. I could tell my little guy was well adjusted to being with them after a week’s stay. I always get nervous leaving him but it makes a world of difference knowing that he’s in good, loving hands. Victoria sent regular photo updates and she had no problem managing Rocky’s daily meds. Thank you again, Victoria and Antonio!”
“Russell had a marvelous time with Zwany and Leandro. They were very communicative and provided a loving home for our pup while we were away. We will be repeat customers for sure!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth & Rodrigo always treat Gator as part of their family and I cannot express enough how much that helps my anxiety being away from him. I never worry about him knowing that he’s being loved & cared for! They always send plenty of updates and truly are the sweetest family. Gator & I are their biggest fans!!!”
“Rachel could not have been nicer! Our dog had the best time going on long walks and playing with Rachel's dog. She was great about sending daily photos. We would not hesitate to recommend Rachel. She is wonderful!!”
“Spot had a great time staying with Ilya! She was happy and relaxed when we picked her up! Ilya responded very quickly and accommodated us at the last minute which we very much appreciated. He was communicative and very kind. We definitely will be booking with Ilya in the future!”
“Geraldine and her family took wonderful care of Izzy during our three-week vacation. They followed all our requests, responded instantly, and sent regular updates and photos. Izzy always looked relaxed and happy — whether lounging on the couch or out on walks — and came home in great spirits, settling right back into her routine.”
“Charlie had a great stay with Christina! I was nervous leaving Charlie and Christina sent photos throughout the stay so I could see what she was up to. Charlie had lots of walkies and snuggles and enjoyed her visit.”
“Elliot and Jo are the best! We felt immediately comfortable at our meet and greet and they took the time to make notes about Maple’s schedule as well as her little quirks and things to look out for that set her off. While we were gone we received daily updates with pictures showing off how much fun she was having at the park. Will definitely book with them again next time we go out of town!”
“Patrick did an outstanding job taking care of my dog, Grace Warrior. Grace is a 94 lbs bundle of energy, and Patrick managed her needs perfectly. He was professional, attentive, and clearly experienced with handling large dogs. Grace came back happy and well-cared for, and I could tell she enjoyed her time with him. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and capable pet sitter. Thank you, Patrick, for your excellent care!”
“Lynne was absolutely amazing! Georgia was not a good fit in another sitter's home and we decided it was best to rehome her during the stay. Lynne stepped in at the last minute and agreed to watch Georgia. Georgia had a great time. She loved the other dogs which brought her out of her shell. Lynne was communicative the entire time and sent great photos. I felt very comfortable with Lynne having Georgia and would highly reccomend.”
“Tyler was amazing with my Lobo and Tango! He was a great communicator and I was ever grateful for the flexibility as my travel plans change unexpectedly a few times while I was away. I could tell they were truly cared for and a spoiled just as much (if not more) than would have been with me! Highly recommend and will be trying Tyler again for my next dog care needs”
“Julie was simply fantastic with Wesley. She let him sniff around and learn get comfortable in her apartment while I was there to make sure he was ok. Lots of photos and Infor a laugh as she she shared a Wesley story as she took him for a walk and he waited hopefully for some free pizza. I would definitely rebook.”
“Matias was so great watching my beagle Casey! She had a great time running and playing in the field by his house, and Matias kept me updated daily with her status! I could tell she was even sad to leave and can’t wait to use Matias again!”
“Maryah was amazing! She kept me up to date and sent pictures daily. My boys looked like they had so much fun with her. She was also very flexible with my schedule when my flight was cancelled.”

Matias was great with latke, he seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked him up! One thing to note: we didn’t realize there would be other dogs with him throughout the week. I don’t think it mentioned that anywhere on the booking or in any messages beforehand so if that’s a problem for your dog, just keep that in mind! There seemed to always be at least 1-2 other dogs there at a time.
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!
Antonio was very nice and responsive. We didn't like leaving our dog at an institution where she seemed to be lonely and uncomfortable at night, we thought she would be more comfortable in a home. While we didn't have a video feed to check on her whenever we wanted to, butwe got personalized pictures and could tell she was happy and getting customized care with Antonio. He followed our instructions, and kept her comfortable in a home environment where she had park access whenever she needed to go outside and he gave her 1:1 attention unlike some other caretakers.
Sydney did an absolute amazing job watching my chocolate lab Sadie. Always sent me updates and pictures of Sadie during her stay with Sydney. Cannot recommend Sydney enough and will definitely be coming to her with any more needs for my pup! 10/10 recommend!! Thank you again!
We had never use Rover before but had to travel internationally for 12 days and none of our family or friends could take our 14 week old puppy, Pepper. We found Savar and he offered to meet up before the handoff to meet us and our puppy. He asked all the right questions about our training. Savar was happy to help with some of the training and behavioral things we were working on as well! We had an easy drop off and got frequent pictures, videos, and texts throughout Pepper’s stay. When we picked him up, Pepper was a very happy and well cared for dog. We would not hesitate to rebook Savar and would recommend him to other first time or repeat Rover users!
Phillipa is superb. She was very understanding and accommodating in dealing with my dog Leo's separation anxiety. Leo obviously adores her, and from the photos she sent, was very comfortable in her lovely home. He loves walking on the Commonwealth Mall and got a lot of exercise doing that while I was away. Consider yourself lucky if she has an opening when you need to go away.
Julie was wonderful with Latte! She took great care of her and kept me updated with messages and photos. She was also very understanding and flexible when I had an unexpected delay with pickup. I felt very comfortable leaving Latte with her and would definitely book with Julie again. Thank you so much! 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Charlestown on Rover is $66.6 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 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 September 2026, there are 3,964 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Charlestown. 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 Charlestown 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 Charlestown 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 Charlestown 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 Charlestown.
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 Charlestown 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.
