“Julie was amazing, it’s no wonder she has star sitter status! I always get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she sent lots of pictures and updates about how he was doing. Seymour came home so content and relaxed!”
“Nola and Damian were amazing! They took us last minute for my two young high energy pups. Communication was prompt and professional. My boys came home happy and well cared for, and I would happily book with Nola & Damian again!”
“Jessica and her family were amazing! They took wonderful care of our dogs. I’m definitely using her again! We received pics daily and she is awesome with communication. Thanks again!!”
“Guillermo did a fantastic job with my dog, Kiara. She gets nervous around new people, so it’s always tough for me to leave her. I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.”
“Jennifer was amazing and very communicative. Our dog Pepper loved being with her, as she was taken on walks, ball throws and taken care of. We will definitely rebook with Jennifer in the future for our dog care/boarding needs.”
“Jing has great communication! She was great with my elderly dog and gave her her medicine when needed. My dog looked happy the entire time and was in a great mood afterwards!”
“Geraldine was very easy to work with, I can tell that my dog really enjoyed his time with them and he was really cared for, which I truly appreciate. The only feedback is that I wish she would give more proactive updates, but I would definitely let her watch my dog again.”
“Antonio was great with our two dogs. We will be leaving them for a longer period soon, but wanted to do a trial run to make sure it would work. I appreciate him being in contact with us as we planned this out, and his working to understand the needs of one of our dogs who has separation anxiety.”
“Lyn is incredibly experienced with seemingly all ages of dogs and was fantastic about keeping us updated on how Elly was doing. I will undoubtedly get in contact with Lyn again in the future.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much again . Fantastic host . My little friend was super happy in his new home for 5 days . I wi definitely used them again and recommended everyone🐶”
“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!”
“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!”
“Chanel was incredible - my first time leaving my pup with someone other than family! My pup definitely gave her a run for her money with some weird behaviors but she was incredibly patient and communicative. Lots of updates, photos, and videos throughout the week. Will absolutely book again!!”
“Jo and Adam took such good care of our pup Frankie. This was the longest he has ever been away from us- a whole week- but he came back so happy and tired, true signs of a good time. Jo and Adam sent photos daily which helped us a lot and it was fun and comforting to see Frankie with their dog Napo and little baby too as well as seeing him laying down next to Jo and Adam on the couch! It is such a relief to find such caring, competent, professional, and caring sitters that we can use when we need care for our pup. Thanks so much Jo and Adam!!”
“Ruya was very communicative and responsive from the beginning. We would definitely book again. Ashlynn was well taken care of and we got lots of pictures of her!”
“Crystal & William really saved us with a late booking and we couldn’t be more excited we found them! Gronk had the best time and came home super happy and healthy! They kept us updated with loads of pictures of their adventures we cant wait for Gronk to stay with them again!”
“Aurora was great with our dog Hailey! She stayed with her for more than two weeks and we got a lot of pictures! It was the first time Hailey stayed with someone else then family or friends, so we were anxious at first. We would book Aurora again, she also took the time to do a meet and greet upfront.”
“Our rescue hound, Biscuit, who had a troubled background, spent a happy week with Patrick. Our concerns about leaving Biscuit with a stranger for a week was assuaged by daily photos and videos of our boy happily napping on a bed provided by Patrick and exploring his new neighbourhood enthusiastically. Thank you, Patrick! We shall be calling you again! Dan Cronin, Hank Anderson and Biscuit Somerville”
“Cindy was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bear! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which we really appreciated. Throughout his stay, she sent daily updates with photos and videos so we always knew how he was doing, and she responded quickly to all of my messages. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and spent lots of time giving him attention and snuggles. Bear was very well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will definitely be reaching out to Cindy again in the future and would highly recommend both her and her brother to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

Ben was amazing with our dog Aster! We did a meet and greet beforehand and left Aster with him for 3 nights. He gave Aster tons of attention, walks, and playtime. Ben made sure to keep us updated with tons of pictures and messages. If you're looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, Ben is the guy to go with!
Could not be happier with the care they showed to my pup when I left her with them for just under a week. It was my first time leaving her behind, and she is just young puppy which can be a handful. I got plenty of updates on my dog’s activities and she was always very happy in every image or video I got. They were also extremely accommodating when I had some last minute timing issues. All in all, it was a relief to know my puppy was in good hands while I was out of the country.
Abby was amazing! Her response time was excellent and she was exceptionally transparent about her services. This really helped us determine if she would be a good fit for our dog. He can be a little challenging to care for but she was incredibly accommodating, understanding and flexible. Abby is very professional and attentive. She did a great job of sharing pictures and updates during the boarding. She followed all of the care instructions perfectly. I look forward to booking her again - we had a extremely positive experience and our dog loved staying with her!
Ivis was absolutely wonderful to deal with. First, she was quickly responsive and so easy to communicate with. Second, she sent very cute photos, which I appreciated. But mostly, when my flight home got canceled last minute, she helped me tremendously by being flexible and keeping Biscuit one more night. I have no words for how much I appreciated it - one less thing to stress about as I redid my travel plans!!
We had such a wonderful experience with Fernanda! Willow was instantly comfortable and clearly had the best time. We got frequent updates throughout her stay, and it was so sweet to see how much attention and care she was getting. They played games with her, taught her new tricks, and really went above and beyond to keep her happy and entertained. Their daughter was also incredibly sweet with Willow, which made the whole experience even more special. We felt completely at ease knowing Willow was in such loving hands and would absolutely book with them again.
Jennie house sat for my pit bull (who has a history of reactivity), and we’re so appreciative of her help! Our dog was immediately at ease with her. She was attentive, thoughtful, and sent lots of pictures. She took great care of our dog and we would highly recommend her!
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! ❤️🐶
Haowen and Yi were amazing! They kept us updated with tons of pictures. We can tell they took very good care of our high-energy golden, she came home very happy! We will absolutely use them again in the future. I highly recommend them for any pet parents who are nervous to leave their pets! You won’t be disappointed!

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.
