“Greta and her pup Juniper were wonderful hosts! My dog is nervous in new places and is more comfortable when another dog is around. Greta was patient and loving. I felt really comfortable leaving him with her for the weekend. Greta gave lots of updates and pictures. Would definitely recommend!”

“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”

“Tiffany and Steve boarded our dog Ralphie for 8 days. We tried their daycare services out a few times prior to leaving Ralphie for 8days so he would feel more comfortable with them. After only two day visits Ralphie, who is in a fearful stage of people he doesn’t know, took right to Tiffany and Steve due to their caring and attentive nature. Needless to say the 8 days of boarding went great. Lots of updates and even helpful tips for some new dog parents like us. We willl continue to send Ralphie to Tiffany and Steve for daycare trips and overnights. We highly recommend.”

“Shuhua helped us out in a pinch last minute to board our dog same night, and we are so happy with the attentiveness shown - it doesn't get much better for our shy and sleepy greyhound girlie than an elevator to avoid the scary stairs, a soft couch, lovingly-shared boiled chicken and peeled apples, and a fresh new green space she gets to sniff around. We've already booked a second day due to our needs, and will absolutely reach out again in the future if needed! So glad to establish a connection to a nearby sitter that is so comfortable for our pet.”

“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”

Xiaoyuan and William did an amazing job with Kaz. They sent me a lot of great videos and photos. They were great at communicating and being flexible. By the time I picked up Kaz, he was walked and fed already so all I had to do was take him home which I really appreciate. I definitely plan to hire Xiaoyuan and William again!

Chantel was an amazing pet sitter for us. It was my first time hiring someone to watch my cat and she made me feel at ease with how welcoming and caring she was upon meeting her. My cat is 15 yrs old and very skittish and when I picked her up she was laying comfortably in Chantels bed not wanting to come home lol. She accepted my request the day before for boarding my cat which I was extremely grateful for, and even was accepting of my cats special diet. I would 100% recommend Chantel as a pet sitter, she even sent pictures with updates for me.

Cameron is so spectacular I confess we are tempted to gate keep him 😂 But of course we'd never dream of it. He's reliable, kind, patient, and a delight to work with. My dog comes home so happy after a stint with Cameron and his pup. We'll be booking with him for as long as he's taking bookings :)

What an amazing time our dog had with Greta - such a pro at looking after our pup. Greta is exceptional at caring for dogs - communication was A+ and our Jack Russell Marnie was extremely well looked after and cared for. I would recommend Greta to anyone looking for a dog sitter - the perfect service and home away from home. Thanks to Juniper too for being extra welcoming! 🐶

After our original sitter had to cancel - Hunter and her partner graciously agreed to watch Ralph while we were away for a week. Having watched Ralph once before, Hunter and her partner are truly exceptional sitters. Taking Ralph in like one of their own, sending daily photos and updates, and just overall making sure Ralph got the best treatment makes them the best. I can’t recommend them enough!

I couldn’t recommend Brandon more. I was away in Europe and felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. His communication was excellent from start to finish, and he sent me photos every day, which I really appreciated while being so far away. It was obvious that my dog was getting plenty of love, attention, and care the entire time. He honestly came back even more spoiled than when I left him, which says a lot. I’m very particular about who I trust with my dog, especially for an extended stay, and this was such a positive experience. He was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly treated my dog like his own. I would absolutely book with him again and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their pet.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Charlestown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Charlestown on Rover is $66.57 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 4,077 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Charlestown. About 90% of Charlestown 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.
