We are so glad to have found Mia and Talwei and looking forward to booking with them in the future.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life, and routinely dog sit for friends and family. I promise to give your dog the amount of attention and compassion that I give my own dogs, while making sure it’s personalized to your pet! In addition, I also have experience with cat sitting and grew up a family cat. I am available most weeknights, or for full days and overnights on weekends. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule that allows me to work remotely on days of my choice if you ever need to change your schedule! I take an individualized approach to pet care. I’ll listen to what’s important for your dog or cat when we meet the first time, and will stay true to that whenever I’m with them! All breeds are built differently, and I’m happy to adjust my care approach based on your specific dog and your wishes for them! Whether they need a multi-mile walk, a quick stroll, or just some company and simple care, I’m here to help. I love to take plenty of photos and keep you updated throughout my time with your pet.
“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.”
“nathan was so great with gouda i had complete peace of mind while gouda was staying with him - he really cares about the pups he watches and wants them to feel comfortable and will do all in his power to make that happen! I’m super happy with his service and will definitely rebook!”
“Maja was super nice and I can tell Teddy was very comfortable. I received puppy mail and she reached out with all questions. I would let Maia watch Teddy again for sure.”
“Melodi is amazing! 2nd time we leave Ron with her and he could not have had a better time. She does not only take care of him amazingly well but also keeps us updated and sends a ton of pictures, which we appreciate! Melodi is definitely our go-to person whenever we need to leave Ron do to travel or work!”
“She was amazing with Toby and you could tell she really loves to care for animals. Toby looked so happy in every picture I received and she was so great communicating with me. I will definitely be rebooking!! Toby had a great time she’s so nice!!”
“Jennifer was a wonderful care taker for our dog. She was patient and kind. Kept us updated on a longer stay. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you.”
About: I’ve been an animal caretaker since I was 12 years old (a decade of experience!). I’ve worked with a variety of animals from different backgrounds and age groups including dogs and cats but also birds and reptiles. I have experience both working in doggy day care and shelter environments in addition to a more classic animal caretaker role like walking and boarding. I’m currently in college so my schedule is pretty open with lots of time to spend caring for your fuzzy friends. I’m currently a college student taking classes so I’ll have plenty of time to be at hone with your pet. I can begin boardings on Thursday afternoon and do pick ups Sunday evening. Happy to work out a longer stay if necessary. I have a park across from my house to take your furry friends to play. If I’m not at home my roomates usually are so your dog won’t be alone for very long.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Charlestown is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Charlestown
Hana took wonderful care of Tobie while I was away. She was flexible with our schedule and incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending photos so I always knew how he was doing. It was clear Tobie had a great time, and I could tell he felt comfortable and loved. Having someone I can trust with him makes being away so much easier. I've already booked Tobie's next stay with Hana, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any dog owner!
We had an excellent experience with Tiffany and Steve! They were an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, attentive, transparent, and incredibly communicative. I was a little nervous leaving my Pumi, Hugo for a two-week stay so it was heartwarming and reassuring to see Hugo enjoying his daily walks, spending time with the other pups, and looking happy and comfortable in their care. Definitely appreciated the daily photo updates and feedback regarding his feeding, which gave such peace of mind. It meant so much knowing my Hugo was in such caring and capable hands. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend Tiffany and Steve to anyone looking for trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring sitters. I will absolutely be booking with them again!
Cannot recommend Arlene & Josiah enough! They were incredibly kind and accommodating with our last-minute request and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. Our girl got lots of walks, exercise, and socialization. She was well cared for, had a great time, and came out the door with a smile on her face! We’d absolutely book with them again.
Mindy was so wonderful with my dog, Zoe! She was very easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates throughout Zoe’s stay, which I really appreciated. Zoe started limping a few days before her stay and Mindy took extra care with her and updated me on the limp. I highly recommend Mindy and hope that Zoe will have the chance to stay with her again!
Amanda is the best and most trusted dog sitter!! I have complete faith in her competency with our dog. She takes the time to really get to know every dog she cares for to cater to their needs, preferences, and favorite activities. Our dog loves Amanda! I know that when we drop her off, she will be safe, comfortable, and happy. It makes our vacations stress-free, knowing our pup is in amazing hands!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gucci had such an amazing time with her babysitter! She was absolutely wonderful with him, and he got along so well with her kids. It made me so happy knowing Gucci was in a loving, safe, and fun environment where he was treated like part of the family. She took such great care of him, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I would definitely trust her with Gucci again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! ❤️🐾
This was our first time using River and we hit the jackpot! Elizabeth and Rodrigo and their sweet family are wonderful. So kind and attentive to our dogs. Loved the pictures while our girls were in their care. This was the first time our dogs stayed at someone’s home without us there and they were so calm and relaxed when I picked them up. That speaks volumes to how well they were cared for. We will definitely reach out again in the future.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Charlestown is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $91 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 4,122 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
