“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“My dog was so excited to go back to Todd’s for an overnight stay. He had the best time whenever he goes there, gets plenty of walks, lots of attention, and comes home such a happy camper. Todd is a trusted sitter for us and I will continue to book with him whenever I need somewhere for my dog to stay!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Wonderful as always! Penny was so excited when we pulled up in front of Akhil’s house. She definitely remembered him and knew she was in for a great weekend! Got updates throughout her stay. Would fully recommend!”
“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”
“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!”
“Svetlana was amazing with Kaiser. She took amazing care of him and kept us up to date with all the activities during his stay. We received a lot of pictures and information on how he had spent each day. We really appreciate the love and attention that Svetlana showed towards Kaiser and we are looking forward to booking her again to take care of him!”
“Kerrin and Chris were amazing with our dog Lizzie—she had an absolute blast staying with them. They sent daily pictures, which gave us total peace of mind, and it was clear she was being cared for like part of their own family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“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”
“Felice was very communicative and took great care of my old dog Charlie. She let us introduce Charlie a couple of days before his stay and remained in communication throughout to let us enjoy our time away without worrying about his wellbeing. Would recommend!”
“Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.”
“Leah is incredible! She is the sweetest person and took wonderful care of Lupine. I got frequent updates and knew Lu was in the best hands the entire time. I highly recommend her!!”
“Peyton took great care of my puppy, Luna while I was away for the weekend. She was very reliable and attentive and I could tell Luna was very happy and content to be in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates which I really appreciated, and I’d definitely recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Zach was very responsive and easy to communicate with before and during our dog’s stay with him. He sent us photos regularly. Our dog was excited to see him again, which is always a good sign he had a good time!”

Shriya was absolutely amazing. She watched my cat, Milo, for a week. She sent so many photos/videos and played with him everyday. Her and her husband were absolutely wonderful. When my flight home unexpectedly got cancelled, she was able to watch him an extra day. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will be using her again in the future.
I am so grateful to have found Laura to take care of Thea. From the very beginning, Laura made sure Thea was comfortable and treated her like her own. This was the first time I’ve ever had someone outside of my family watch Thea, so I feel so lucky to have found someone so great. She provided daily, detailed updates and photos, and went above and beyond. Anyone would be lucky to have Laura take care of their pup!
Jennifer is phenomenal!! I got so many adorable pupdates throughout the day, from how our pup was feeling, to photos of him smelling some pretty flowers (really!! it was the cutest!), to videos of him playing fetch. I love seeing that he’s having a great time, and it’s absolutely a doggie vacation when he’s at Jennifer’s. Highly highly recommend!
Tiffany and Steve were a pleasure to work with and took great care of our dog. They communicated well, walked our dog multiple times a day, and asked every question you could to take the best care possible. They were timely, transparent, and our dog seemed happy and himself upon his return!
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!
Mallory was a perfect sitter for our sweet, anxious Murphy. Mallory was very prompt and accommodating at drop off and pick up, and she checked in with us 2x/day while away, just as she said. Murphy seemed to settle in really well, which for a first time with a new sitter is impressive. Highly recommend.
Mindy is amazing! She came through in a pinch on the day of. My sitter plans had fallen through, and she responded to me right away, and on a holiday weekend no less! She was super communicative, giving me pictures of my Pippin and updates multiple times through the day. She was really attentive to him and seemed to understand his needs to a T. I will most definitely use her again and I cannot recommend her enough.
John is an incredible dog sitter. Ahead of Luisa's stay, he asked us all the right questions - can she go up/down the stairs, what is the best way to pick her up, etc. That alone was so reassuring to us given that our dog is a senior and dachshunds are prone to back issues. We received frequent updates and photos throughout the week, so we were never left wondering how she was doing. We could tell by the photos that within a day or so she was completely comfortable and up to her usual antics. Having to find a sitter is one of the harder parts of traveling and I am so relieved to have found John. He is intentional about meeting your dog precisely where they are at and takes every step possible to ensure their safety and comfort. We'll be sure to book him again the next time we are out of town.
Liz and Rodrigo, and their kids, were great with our dog Draven! He had such a good time with them in their home, and they were very accommodating of drop off and pick up times. They even found fun ways to keep him cool during the heat wave and sent cute photo check ins. I’ve already rebooked them for my next trip. Would highly recommend!
We had a great experience with Angella! She sent regular photo updates and our pups seemed happy and comfortable during their stay. When we picked them up she had even washed all of the bowls and items we had sent with them, and sent us home with extra treats which was such a nice surprise! Thank you so much, Angella!
Could not ask for a better sitter! My cat stayed with Chantel for ~9 days and was happy as ever when I picked him up. Chantel was kind, communicative, and flexible during pick-up and drop off. She has a beautiful home and is very knowledgeable about cat health, behavior, and care. When I dropped him off, she showed me all of the toys, tunnels, trees, etc. he would have access to, made sure I was comfortable with his feeding and drinking areas, noted the ways she helps/lets her guests adjust and get comfortable in her home and with her, etc. All throughout, she sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me updated, and spent lots of quality time with my little guy. At pick-up, she went over detailed notes she had taken over the stay about his behavior, adjustment to her home, eating habits, potential concerns, and more. She also made sure his litter box was clean and all of his supplies were ready to go when I got there. I had never hired a cat sitter before and was unsure about leaving my cat in someone else's home, but could not have found a better person to trust with the task, and absolutely hope Chantel is available the next time I go out of town. I cannot express how nice it was to know my guy was safe, comfortable, and well cared for during my vacation (truly I think it was a lovely vacation for him too)!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Charlestown on Rover is $64.17 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 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 4,161 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.
