“I left my 14 yo dachshund with Victoria for the first time and I couldn’t have been more pleased. She was very professional. She was engaged when going over his medications and daily routines. She sent great updates with photos, and I could tell my boy was doing so well with her. With my dog having a few more needs these days it feels so good to know there’s a dog sitter I can trust to look after him when I need to be away. I am so grateful to have found Victoria and I think Rocky is too!”
“John is the best sitter we could ask for! Our dog loves him and he spoils her with affection and lots of walks. We have now trusted him with a short trip and now a much longer trip. He provides great updates and makes us feel at ease leaving our baby. I would recommend him to any dog owner!”
“Emily & Daniel were fantastic! They took such great care of Ubu and thoughtfully checked in beforehand to see if there was anything more to know about her routine. Communication was easy, and I really appreciated the photos during her stay. Their dog, Thomas, is adorably—I loved seeing him and Ubu snuggled up!”
“So caring, kind, and wonderful. They took great care of my dog when I was in a bind, were flexible and understanding as my schedule changed, and kept me updated with photos along the way. Thank you again so much!”
“Zwany and Leandro were great with my pup. Peanut had so much fun! They provided regular updates and went above and beyond :) very sweet couple and will definitely recommend them! :)”
“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!”
“Nola and Damian were amazing! They took us last minute for my two young high energy pups. Communication was prompt and professional. My boys came home happy and well cared for, and I would happily book with Nola & Damian again!”
“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.”
“Tyler and his fiancé went above and beyond and seemed like our Yuki had an amazing time ☺️ regular updates and pictures were always included and he even offered to drop her off the next day, which was so so sweet of them to do! Highly recommend and we will definitely book again for sure!”
“Jessica was the perfect match for Chumlee. Her and her family were loving and attentive to my Old girl and kept her calm and entertained. She gave her meds and accommodated her needs. We will booking with Jessica for our next trips. She is communicative and easy to coordinate with”
“Guillermo was absolutely amazing with our dog, Lola. He took such great care of her and kept us constantly updated with messages and photos, which really put us at ease while we were away. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Guillermo made the whole experience completely stress free. We could tell Lola was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. We’re so grateful for his attentiveness and kindness, and we would 100% trust him with Lola again. Highly recommend!”
“Lady spent another great day with Elliott! She is always so happy when we arrive and clearly enjoys her time there. We are very grateful to be able to leave her in such good hands!”
“What an amazing experience. My first time using Rover and Haowen exceeded all expectations. Haowen's apartment was neat and clean, and has many pet friendly amenities at his complex. His communication is superb and responses are very prompt (usually within mere minutes). All throughout the stay, he kept me posted with lots of photos. My dog was definitely well taken care of. Will definitely book again.”
“Rachel is an absolute life saver. I totally messed up the booking. (I tried to add a day, but when I did, the “extra” day then became the first day, so the whole booking shifted forward by a week. Make sure to double check your bookings in the app if you try to edit!) Anyway, I realized it the DAY OF. Rachel still made it work somehow. I’m not advocating anyone else doing this or anything, 😆 but just saying how incredibly grateful I am. Plus, she is absolutely wonderful with my dog. It’s clear my dog LOVES her and her son. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Ted is amazing! We would gladly leave our dog in his care again the next time we need a sitter. He sent daily updates and went above and beyond to ensure our dog wasn’t happy.”
“Aurora was great with our dog Hailey! She stayed with her for more than two weeks and we got a lot of pictures! It was the first time Hailey stayed with someone else then family or friends, so we were anxious at first. We would book Aurora again, she also took the time to do a meet and greet upfront.”
“Julie was amazing! She sent us pictures of Pepés adventures and told us about all the fun things they did. It was like a luxury vacation for pepé, he loved it. We will be return customers!”
“Emily was awesome! She took amazing care of my pup, kept constant communication while I was away, and was super flexible when my return plans got shifted and she needed to hold onto my dog for a bit longer. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a solid, dependable sitter!”

Daria and her dog Kova was incredibly kind to my little puppy Totori Daria is really confident dog care taker and she gave lots of love and attention to Totori Also Her dog Kova, makes Totori more comfortable stay with them I always laughed when I see pictures of them playing together It is Always delighted to read Daria’s daily reports about my puppy and it also helps me a lot
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.
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about our experience! We boarded our Maltipoo here, and from start to finish, the level of care was absolutely incredible. He means the world to us, so leaving him with someone else is never easy, but we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such loving and attentive hands. It was so clear that he wasn’t just being “watched” — he was genuinely cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. He received so much attention and affection, and we could tell how happy and comfortable he was. The communication was also wonderful and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed he was when we picked him up. With a small dog who is very attached to his people, that says everything! It is such an incredible feeling to find someone you completely trust with your dog. We are beyond grateful for the care he received and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, responsible, and genuinely passionate about dogs. We will absolutely be bringing him back. Truly a 10/10 experience! ❤️🐾
Mallory has just been a perfect sitter for our sometimes needy and anxious pup. She is very communicative and professional. We even goofed on pick up time and forgot food/water bowls once, and Mallory was gracious and accommodating. She takes great care of our pup so much so we don’t worry a bit while away, even when gone for a long weekend. Easy 5 stars!
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our dog, Berlin. Patrick met with us beforehand so we could see exactly where Berlin would be staying, which immediately put us at ease. During the stay, he sent frequent updates with photos and videos — it was so clear that Berlin was having a vacation of his own! We could travel without any worry knowing he was in such good hands. I'd highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again!
My pup Rocco has stayed with Linda multiple times since I got him a year and a half ago. He can take a day or so to settle and she is so patient and caring with him. She goes above and beyond to make sure he feels at home and by the time I pick him up, he doesn’t want to leave! I am so thankful for Linda and all she does for my little anxious guy!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Charlestown on Rover is $65 per night (as of August 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 .

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.
