“Chrissy was just what our dog needed. She has a fenced in yard and friendly playmates for my Bandit who has tons of energy. She kept the slider open to the yard so the dogs could run in and out and play. Bandit is an anxious dog and I could tell from the videos that he was immediately calm and enjoying himself. We will definitely book Chrissy again in the future!”

“Maegan took my two boys on very short notice without having had them before. She eased all my concerns before drop off. Once there we got the lay of the land and the boys were off and playing in no time. They came happy and tired. Thank you!!”

“This was our first time using Peggy on Rover. Our cocker spaniel, Sadie did awesome at her home. My Sadie really took to and loved spending time with her husband. Peggy was in contact with us daily with a picture and updates. We never worried while away we knew Sadie was in good hands. Our experience was everything we had hoped for. Thank you Peggy and we will definitely use you in the future and pass your name onto our friends.”

He took on my elderly 16 year old pup within a 24 hour notice after we found out our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs :( He took great care of her and sent daily updates which we really appreciated! She felt right at home with him and he made us feel very comforted knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely rejoin with him in the future :)”

During the stay he sends tons of updates which I appreciate even more. I definitely will continue using Dan and recommend him to anyone looking for care of their dog. Thanks bud!”

She gave them good walks and played with them regularly, and it was obvious they enjoyed spending time with her. Both dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time. We would definitely book Bailey again and highly recommend her!”

“I'm so glad and grateful we were able to book with Samantha for 4 nights of boarding! She was flexible and accomodating in working with me through video calls and time differences as well as coordinating drop off and pick up with a family member who is taking care of my dog for a couple months while I am overseas. She was also understanding and receptive about special care requests during our initial chats and it was fantastic receiving twice daily updates during the boarding. I could tell from the belly up pictures that my dog felt safe, happy, and well taken care of! Will definitely try to book with her again should the need come up once more and give my enthusiastic recommendation to others as well!”

Kairo had such a great time with her, and that means everything to me because I do not just leave him with anyone. She was caring, trustworthy, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Richelle to anyone looking for a great pet sitter, and Kairo will definitely be welcomed back into her hands again!”

Jillian was more than confident in her ability to accommodate Asher. He's a male 6 year old purebred Rottweiler. He loved his stay and I was more than comfortable with him being away from me. I would highly recommend Jillian to care for your dog. Asher will be coming back to her for sure. Thank you Jillian

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Charlton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 355 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Charlton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

96% of sitters in Charlton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Charlton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Charlton.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Charlton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
