“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!”
“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Tyler was great to Coco! He helped her become part of the pack he was watching and kept me well informed. She was so exhausted after her stay- like she just got back from summer camp!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“Lyn watched Jack for 5 nights, it was his first time staying with her. Lyn was very professional, flexible, and caring! She was easy to communicate with and I received daily updates and pictures from her. Jack seemed to have a good time with her, I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Betsy and her family taking care of our furry guy. He had such a wonderful time and we received frequent updates with photos. Her kids told us stories about him when we picked him up- they made him feel like part of the family. We hope to have him stay with them again!”
“Maddy was so wonderful with my dog Jester!! We got tons of pictures and videos and you could tell how happy Jester was staying there. I was assured the whole time that my dog was well taken care of. We will use her again!”
“Maryah did a great job taking care of Alfie. She was quick to respond to my messages and provided me updates on Alfie. When I went to pick up Alfie, I could see he was very well taken care of. Thank you, Maryah!”
“Fernanda took excellent care of Torri! Sent pictures and information throughout our trip to keep us informed of Torri's activities. Extremely responsive to any questions we had. Felt good to know Torri was well cared for.”
“Megan was wonderful throughout the entire process. We got picture updates every day and he was absolutely loving all the walks and cuddles. Absolutely would recommend.”
“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.”
“Chanel was an amazing host for our senior Shih Tsu, Kody. She made Kody feel right at home. She’s a natural caregiver, but also followed all the instructions and care tips we provided (morning meds, feeding, walks, etc.). Chanel was super communicative and made sure that we were updated during Kody’s stay. What a relief for us! (Thank you, Chanel. We’ll be back).”
“Phillipa is an amazing dogsitter! She took Kona on so many long walks and sent tons of pics daily. Kona is a bit shy at first and sometimes nips at strangers out of distrust but Phillipa handled her with so much love and care. I can tell Kona trusted her and enjoyed being in her home. Would love to book with her again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Soumaya! 🐾❤️ She took amazing care of our dog, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She kept us updated every couple of hours with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and showed how attentive and caring she was with him. Soumaya is incredibly kind, responsible, and super trustworthy. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Soumaya and would absolutely trust her with our dog again! ❤️🐶”
“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!
Hana was fantastic. She took great care of my pup, and was very available with updates and pics. I also had some travel delays during my booking, and she was very flexible with my pick up. She put me at ease leaving my pup with her. I highly recommend Hana for dog boarding.
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 :)
Cowgirl had the most wonderful time with Angella, she was cuddled and in great hands, our puppy is a recent rescue so we were really well assured with her updates and pictures, Cowgirl came back calm, happy and with lots of new toys Angella was so kind to give to her!! 🤍
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!
Phillipa was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and just took the absolute best care of Leo. I was out of town for a week and knew that Leo was having the best time going on lots of walks and getting lots of cuddles. Will absolutely be rebooking!
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.
This was Mochi's first time stayng with Maryah. I felt that she was definitely in good hands with her. We got daily pictures or videos of Mochi with her own dogs, Lilo and Stitch, and once a weeker, Luna. Super easy for us to get to her place. Would for sure use Maryah in the future.

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.

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.
