“Rachel took such good care of our dog Jax and provided plenty of updates and photographs. We will definitely ask her to watch Jax again and would highly recommend!”
“We left our 10 month old Leonberger with John for her very first night away from home and it was a great experience! We got so many photos, and it was clear that she was happy, comfortable, and having fun with the other dogs. She came home smelling and looking better than when we dropped her off! We highly recommend John for boarding!”
“John took great care of my high energy pup! His communication was excellent throughout the process and he too my dog on long walks. Looking forward to booking with John again soon!”
“Had a terrific experience with Rachel. She was communicative, responsive, and she took great care of my pup. She helped me out at the last minute, and I am so grateful for her!”
“Our dog Anfi is a shy and very anxious girl. We’re usually unable to leave the house without her due to her separation anxiety, but thanks to Linda that’s no longer the case! Linda has been so amazing. She has treated Anfi with much love and care, and we are so appreciative of that! We look forward to many more day care and boarding stays with Linda!”
“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.”
“Emily and Daniel were phenomenal watching my dog Ace! Very accommodating, excellent communication and updates, and could tell Ace genuinely had a fun time and was taken care of!”
“Grace and Andrew were great! Super responsive, kept us constantly updated on Gus and all the fun activities they did with him, and sent lots of photos which we appreciated! They were able to keep up with our high-energy boy and took great care of him. Thank you guys, highly recommend!”
“Outstanding! We felt completely at ease from the moment we met Zwany. She's someone both pets and people feel totally comfortable around. She and Leandro are detail-oriented, thorough, communicative, responsive, and kind- everything and more you'd want people looking after your pets to be. They go above and beyond- I would highly recommend them to others and we would definitely bring our dog back.”
“Michelle & Michael are the ultimate pet sitters for my young dog, Ruby. She clearly receives an abundance of care, love and attention, as her sweet, expressive & energetic personality is in full effect, which only comes out when she is completely comfortable with people. I feel very lucky to have found them, and they are first on my list! Thank you, Michelle & Mike! :)”
“Elliot and his wife took great care of my dog during the first week-long trip I've taken without him. They were thoughtful and thorough during a meet-and-greet before the stay, provided photos and details all throughout the trip, and made sure he got back safely at the end of the week. I'll definitely be looking to book with them again for any future trips — thanks you two!”
“Dusty had a great time with Julie, and she was terrific. Warm and caring, really great communication throughout Dusty’s stay, which is always much appreciated. Flexible and understanding on a traffic delay I had coming to get her. Would definitely have Dusty stay again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for quality care for your pup!”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Betsy and her family were wonderful hosts for our pup. Betsy sent pics and videos, and Ronja seemed to have a fantastic time. Great communication, we felt safe leaving our dog in Betsy's care.”
“Our pup was happy in every picture & very excited but quickly calm when she got home, which to me says that she was happy to be home, but didn’t feel nervous at Aurora’s home! Aurora also was diligent to make sure our counter surfing, sneaky dog didn’t get human food during her stay. We will definitely book with Aurora again!”
“Svetlana was able to take Ghost very last minute and was amazing. We are in the middle of moving and apparently Ghost has been more emotionally affected than we realized and was very nervous/anxiouswhen I left him with her. He always has some level of separation anxiety but was really acting out this time. She was very understanding in handling it and kept me fully informed throughout his stay and his behavior. I am thankful to her for looking after him and being so caring in his time of need.”
“Victoria was an amazing dog sitter. Daily updates with pictures were available and quick replies with any questions or issues. She was really flexible with the stay and watching Bella.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Charlestown
Ela took such good care of my dog Zoe! She was super responsive, accommodating and reliable from the very beginning. She sent pictures and updates throughout the week so that I could have a stress free vacation. And my dog seemed happy when I picked her up. Overall 10/10
Isabella took wonderful care of Stella for almost two weeks, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. As a newer rescue (she's a German Shepherd/Pit mix, still settling into her routines), I was nervous about leaving her for that long, but she put me completely at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant a lot. When I picked Stella up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for — tired in the best way, like she'd had two great weeks of exercise and attention. I'd trust Isabella with Stella again without hesitation, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a boarder who genuinely loves dogs.
Richard and his partner went above and beyond while I used his services. Very communicative and went out of his way to give my pet a great time while I was away. My dog gets anxious very easily but just by the pictures he seems so happy. I appreciate their care and will 100% be requesting their services going forward
Luisa and her roommate are a power duo for any fur-baby boarding! Luisa in particular is very affectionate, detail-oriented and well suited for the care of animals of all shapes and sizes. She was very attentive to our instructions (as our dog doesn't like other animals), and kept us updated regularly. I appreciated her rapid response when we reached out, and her openness about any needs she had during the two-week stay. We will be booking again! Thank you 🙌
Haowen took excellent care of Bandit. He sent frequent updates and when Bandit was reluctant to eat went out to get peanut butter to mix into his food. He also went to get a ball so Bandit could do his favorite activity of playing fetch. When it was time to get Bandit he was excited to see his mom and dad but then went back to Haowen to say goodbye, which is Bandit's way of saying thank you. Bandit gives a 5 PAWS rating and hopes he can visit again soon
Fernanda took perfect care of my Gracie (dog). Gracie had the best time, stuck to her normal routine, and was incredibly loved and cared for. Fernanda had her overnight for 4 nights/5 days and right away I knew I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Before the stay, she was eager and open to wanting all information about Gracie, in efforts to make Gracie’s transition and stay as smooth and comfortable as possible. During the stay, she was excellent with communication, and providing picture and video updates during walks, play time, feeding, cuddles, etc. She even took the time to teach and master the command “paw” with Gracie!!! I would hands down recommend Fernanda to anyone needing someone to watch their fur baby, super easy choice!!!! 100/10

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Charlestown on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,040 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.
