“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!”
“My dog Risa had been to Lyn’s a few times before and I was so happy Lyn was available to sit for her during our week-long vacation! Risa hadn’t been away from us and our house for that long but I knew she would be in great hands and would have a wonderful week with Lyn!! It was a great experience as always… Lyn sends occasional photos and updates to let me know that Risa is enjoying herself and I can tell she’s in great care 🥰”
“Ilya was fantastic with our cavapoo while we were away on vacation. He sent daily updates and pictures to let us know she was doing well and having fun. When we went to pick her up, you could tell she felt right at home. Look forward to using Ilya again!”
“This was our first booking with Rover. Victoria has been amazing and made this a great first experience! She was very easy to communicate with and send us frequent updates and pictures. Our dog was well taken care off and we could see on the pictures that he had a great time and felt comfortable. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Greta is an amazing dog sitter! She provided lots of updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked incredibly happy and well cared for throughout the stay. She even gave my dog a bath, which was such a thoughtful offer. Juniper is also absolutely adorable, and it was wonderful that my dog had such a sweet companion to play with. I would highly recommend Greta to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for family pets for over 10 years and have developed a deep understanding of the attention, patience, and love that animals need. From daily walks and playtime to feeding routines and basic grooming, I’ve helped care for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable handling pets with different energy levels and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I just graduated from Suffolk Law in May and took the Bar Exam this summer! I’m now working from home 4 days of the week and am in office on Wednesday’s. Having furry friends around while i’m working from home keeps me company. 😊 Your dog’s safety is my top priority every step of the way. I take great care to make sure each pup is safe, secure, and stress-free! Whether we’re on a walk, playing in the yard, or hanging out indoors.
“Zach was amazing with our golden retriever Maggie! He had her over a long holiday weekend and she came home so happy. He was stellar with communication and updates. Would absolutely book again!”
“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.”
“Brooklyn watched our Sydney for a quick overnight. She was very kind and responsive. Very accommodating of our pup's schedule and needs. We felt very at ease knowing she was in good hands”
“Zwany and Leandro were absolutely wonderful! Zwany was extremely responsive and kind, and she made sure to do a thorough job learning about my dogs before boarding them. I got so many cute updates throughout the day, and it put my mind at ease to know my dogs were in such a wonderful environment while I was away. Super flexible too, definitely recommend them for anyone looking for boarding!”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Ester loved her weekend with Emily, Dan and Thomas! They treated her like family and kept us in the loop the whole weekend with updates and photos, which we loved. It was clear Ester was happy and comfortable the entire time. We would absolutely use them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive pet sitters”
“Rachel took care of Theo for two consecutive weekends when I needed a sitter. She was responsive and pick up/drop off was very easy. Her neighborhood seems good for dogs, with a park very close by. Thank you Rachel!”
“John was excellent! He watched my 1 year old American Bulldog for 5 nights, I was very nervous dropping him off becauae it was my first time boarding my baby. John eased my mind and sent me pictures of my boy having a blast. Rocco came home happy & healthy and we will defiantly be usung John again!”
“John is our favorite dog watcher! He always treats our dog so amazingly and sends wonderful updates to keep us in the loop and connected. We HIGHLY recommend John!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with my dog during his one-day stay! From the moment I dropped him off, she made both of us feel comfortable and welcomed. She was attentive, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she sent me updates and photos showing how happy and relaxed my pup was in her care. It was clear she gave him lots of attention, playtime, and affection, and he came home content and tired from such a fun day. I really appreciated how communicative and professional Elizabeth was—she made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’d definitely trust her to care for my dog again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Charlestown
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.
Thank you for taking such great care of Pudi! We had a wonderful meet and greet before, and it was clear immediately that Pudi would have a great time with Kat, Matt, and Tony. I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day. I could concentrate on my day and not worry at all, knowing that Pudi was in such great hands. Pudi will be back soon! Highly recommended!
Charlotte & Mackenzie saved us a huge headache by watching our girl Ginny for a wedding weekend! They were super responsive, easy to plan with, sent lots of pictures, and helped Ginny settle in nice! This is the second time we’ve booked them, with 2 different dogs and will definitely use them in the future, they are the best!
We left Winnie with Maja for a week while we were away. Winnie can be dog aggressive and likes to pull on the leash especially when she sees bunnies, but it seemed like Winnie did great with Maja. She can also become depressed by the end of the week when we leave her but she seemed to get more comfortable with Maja as the week went on and when I picked her up! Maja was great with communication and sending pictures daily!

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 .

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.
