“Luna really had a great week with Alyson! I highly recommend her. She sent is daily updates. She took special care of our cat. The transition back home has been amazing. Hoping she will be our cat sitter forever!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”
“Our dog Ollie had a wonderful overnight visit with Julie! Ollie loved having a pal, Julie’s dog Amber, to play with. Amber is the happiest pup I’ve ever met. Ollie loved Julie’s big fenced in yard and her great screened porch. Julie took wonderful care of our precious pup. I highly recommend Julie for your pup care needs. Thank you Julie!!! 🐶🩵”
“Eric lived up to his very positive reviews: sensitive to our (very few) concerns, sending daily updates and photos, easy to communicate with--in short, everything one would hope for. His dog Snickers was an extra bonus.”
“Highly recommend Yasmine!! ❤️ She was amazing!! We got updates throughout our dog’s stay and pictures. She was quick to respond and very flexible. She went above and beyond for our pup.”
“Jess was amazing with Coco! Made me feel super comfortable before dropping her off, was accommodating to Coco’s nuances, and provided updates throughout her stay! Coco took to Jess and her family immediately, and loved playing with the other dogs! Highly recommend :)”
“Hanna did great with our dog. We had an emergency situation and had to fly out of town. She was flexible with our flights/ times. She sent us updates often(we were worried because we didn’t have time for a meet and greet) with pictures which gave us peace of mind. She didn’t mind his need to sleep in the bed. When my husband went to pick him up he was excited to see him but then ran back in the house ! So I would say that was a happy dog! Will use Hanna next time We have to travel”
“Stephen and Cece were phenomenal! With an anxious dog, it can sometimes be difficult when leaving your fur baby behind. There were numerous updates throughout the day, with pictures and I felt that Lady was left in great hands! Stephen even suggested a trial run, prior to our expected drop off day, which was a phenomenal idea. They cared for Lady as if she were their own and I couldn't recommend them more!”
“We sourced Nellie services last minute as our regular sitter was not available due to our last minute trip. Nellie was super responsive in all communication and keep us updated with photo’s and video’s during our trip away. Ted and Ada enjoyed their stay and got to enjoy with some other hounds too.”
“Alan and Ying took wonderful care of Ripley during his four-night stay. They were very thoughtful in their approach to make him feel comfortable and at home. Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.”
“Steven was great with our dog. We boarded her with him for a long weekend She is a nervous girl and often barks at new people. When I dropped her off he took her leash and her treats and immediately got her to sit and calm down. During her stay with Steven he sent us photos, which I appreciate. When I picked her up she was in good spirits and wagging her tail which is always a good sign. We will definitely be using Steven's services again.”
“Becca was great at taking care of our dog. She was quick to respond, send cute pictures of the dogs, and check in with us. We would be happy to book with her again.”
“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.”
“We had never left our fur babies with anyone outside of family before Kayla. She put our minds at ease and took such good care of them, and we could not be more grateful. Thank you, Kayla!!”
“Lee and her entire family are incredible dog sitters and treated Darla like their own! She warmed up to them right away and loved the fully fenced in yard. Lee was very responsive and provided daily updates and photos of her time with them. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“My “buddy” had another wonderful playdate today with Debbie and her family! Debbie was terrific, as always, and took such wonderful care of my “friend!” Loved seeing the fun pictures and videos she shared with me throughout the day! See you again soon!”
About: If you are looking for someone to love and spoil your fur baby while you are away, Bear and I would love to welcome them to our home! Your pooch will get all the adoration you want them to have, in a safe environment where they can feel like they are on vacation, too. Our time together can be active, including adventure walks in the woods, fenced-in off-leash time in a safe and secure area at my apartment/home, and also snuggle time when they need some extra TLC. My 7-year-old 10 10-pound neutered male Chorkie is calm and welcoming, having been socialized from the time he came to me. We have consistent meal times and frequent opportunities to get outside. We are a quiet, calm respite in a kid-free, smoke-free, dog-centric home. It will be like Mardi-Gras for your dog, but everyone is safe and has no regrets in the morning! :) I work full time from home. While I prefer stays that are primarily on weekends, can accommodate a Monday or Friday too. Weekends are dog friendly with lots of walks and down time in between. My dog has been my primary focus for 7 years, and yours will be treated to the same kind of care, routine, fun and snuggles as my lil Bear gets! I live in an apartment with easy access to leashed walks and an on-site dog park for off-leash fun, but we frequently hop in the car for a 5-minute ride to one of various parks where we have adventures, if your doggo is ok with car rides. My weekends are low-key and if your pet is here, they would include minimal time for me out of the home so Bear and I can be available to focus on our guest. Meals, walks and frequent trips outside are a regular part of our consistent routine. Unless you object, your pal is as welcome on furniture, under blankies, and anywhere Bear goes … which is everywhere.
“Michelle took great care of our high maintenance English bulldog while we were away for a week! Due to his breed, he requires quite a bit of extra attention and Michelle went above and beyond!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dedham
Aside from immediate family and two friends, we have not left our very protective Doberman with anyone. She is the love of our lives, but we are aware that she is reactive and can be dangerous. Dan and Rossi are wizards. The updates I received showed a peaceful, loving affectionate dobie - well, exercised, mentally stimulated and happily spoiled We are incredibly grateful for them
We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog was clearly happy and well cared for, and it was obvious they treated him like their own. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!
Julie is fantastic!! We were a little nervous boarding our dog as he usually stays with family when we are away. Julie immediately put our concerns to rest. She is so caring and knowledgeable, and she sent us daily updates with photos and videos of Cooper. She was also very accommodating when our flight home was cancelled due to bad weather. We can't recommend her highly enough!!
Tauryn was wonderful to my dog, Ozzie! She's a great communicator and I got so many pictures and updates, and knew he was in great hands the whole time. They went for lots of walks, even to the farmer's market. With her schedule, it was super easy to coordinate pickup and drop off. Thanks for giving Ozzie such great care, Tauryn!
ARIANNA ROCKS!!!! Not only did she renewed my faith in Rover again after having two bad experiences with sitters who confirmed and then ghosted me, but the way she and her family cared for my Pepper was PRICELESS!!! Pepper IMMEDIATELY gravitated to her and the family! THANK YOU for making Pepper feel like family! She even misses her son, who cried as Pepper left which made me get emotional! Don’t worry, Pepper will be back VERY SOON!! 5 STARS AND A MILLION THUMBS UP!!!
Rudy stayed with Minglu and Yulin for 7 days to board while we were on vacation. He was well loved and cared for. I got updates everyday, sometimes multiple times a day with pics of him having a ball with his friends. He also looked and smelled great when I picked him up!
Sheila and her fiancé took great care of Winnie, we really appreciated the daily photos and videos of Winnie while we were away, it made us feel good knowing Winnie was in great hands and that she was not just taken care of but played with a lot- which she loves. Sheila met with us before a trip we planned earlier this year, and we had to cancel our plans- but later she also accommodated us on a short notice trip which was also so incredibly nice. We appreciate her flexibility and understanding and would love to have her watch Winnie again.
Rex had an amazing stay with Ross. We received regular pictures and videos as well as daily messages about how Rex was doing which made being apart from our pooch much easier. Ross handled a minor medical issue with aplomb, which eased our minds greatly. We had peace of mind knowing our guy was staying with Ross. We highly recommend Ross!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Dedham is $79 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $114 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.
As of October 2026, there are 4,307 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dedham. 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.
94% of sitters in Dedham 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 Dedham home-away-from-home, 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 Dedham.
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 Dedham 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 , 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 .
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.
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.
