“Alyson was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates while watching my cat and it was clear he was having a great time. She asked questions and was super responsive - would definitely recommend booking with her and I will book again!”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
“My dogs loved their time with Casey! She is so kind and took such wonderful care of our dogs. She has wonderful communication skills and sent us a bunch of adorable photos of our dogs when they were with her. Thank you again, Casey! We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Dana was so accommodating and able to take Luca last minute after our pet friendly Airbnb canceled on us. We don’t leave Luca often so it’s always nerve wracking but Dana provided updates and took amazing care of our boy. I will absolutley rebook in the future and would recommend Dana to anyone looking! 10/10 experience!”
“This was our second time working with Jess, and Duke was happy as can be. We loved the photos of Duke interacting with the other dogs and having a great time. Won't hesitate to have Jess watch Duke again.”
“Paula is absolutely amazing. She is extremely careful, loving, and incredibly professional. I was very happy leaving my Nina with her and I am looking forward to our next opportunity!”
“Coco had a great time with Su and enjoyed her vacation at his house. Su kept us updated daily and honestly I don’t think Coco wants to come home with us at the end of the week. Su is totally trust worthy and easy to work with. I won’t be looking for any other sitter to leave my daughter with but him! Thank you for being so loving and caring to Coco!”
“Kennedy, our golden retriever, always has the best time at Jings! We know that Kennedy is always in good hands with Jing and her family as they truly treat Kennedy like one of their own. Jing keeps us updated with pictures and her communication is fantastic. We will continue to be repeat clients - cannot recommend her enough!”
“This is Cleo and Sansa’s second stay with them. They are very flexible with our timing and the girls love to stay with them. Will definitely keep rebooking with them!”
“Our usual dog boarder wasn't available for a short mid-week getaway so we found Julie on Rover. She was wonderful! Julie has a lovely home with a fantastic screened porch and great flat, fenced-in yard. We met a few days before to introduce my dog to hers and share info. Julie's dog is happy and sweet and was good company for mine, in addition to Julie, while we were away. I didn't worry at all knowing our pup was in good hands. Julie even sent me a couple updates and some cute pics and a video - our dog truly had a great stay! We would definitely book Julie again. You should, too. ;)”
“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.”
“Calvin did a terrific job watching our dog recently! He is very kind and accommodating! We met for a Meet and Greet prior to the stay, and he was enthusiastic and comfortable with us and our pup. His communication through pictures and texts was reassuring while we were away. Great experience overall!”
“Tianyue was very attentive, calm and sweet with our dog. She texted updates and multiple pictures every other day, giving us peace of mind on our vacation. We would highly recommend her!”
“Exceptional service!!!!This is my first time leaving a young puppy while I was traveling for the weekend. Lots of great picture updates, really thoughtful and takes care of anything that comes up.”
“Alan and Ying took care of our dog like their own. From drop off to pickup everything was smooth and easy to communicate. We were updated daily with messages, photos and videos. We cannot be more then happy and will definitely leave our dog with them again.”
“We feel so much at ease when we leave our dog with Oscar and Gaelle. They always send us cutest video updates. We tried 3 other sitters on Rover when Oscar was not available , each time our dog had diarrhea after we picked her up (either stress related or elsa ate something she shouldn’t eat) . Never had a problem when Elsa stayed with Oscar. Looked always happy and healthy.”
“Joe was very friendly and flexible with a very nice home and quick access to outdoor walking and park areas. Buddy seemed to enjoy his stay and Joe was great about giving updates. Thanks again!”
“Stephen & Cecilia were wonderful to my little guy for an overnight stay at their house. They gave me lots of pics and updates. They were sweet and patient with Frank who can be a little shy!”

Our dog Breezy seemed to enjoy her stay and we’d book with Tauryn again! She was a good communicator, followed our instructions, and she sent photos each day. From the initial visit, Breezy seemed comfortable with her and her house, which doesn’t happen with all new people.
Natalie was absolutely amazing with Leo and Nala! From the very beginning, she was so intentional during our meet and greet and took the time to really get to know both of them, their personalities, and what they needed before we even handed them over to her. That meant so much to us and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Throughout their stay, Natalie sent plenty of updates and kept me in the loop, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s very clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she takes care of, and she is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. We truly have nothing but great things to say about Natalie. Leo and Nala were so well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. We will absolutely be rebooking with her!
Calvin was absolutely wonderful with our three old girls. This was their very first time at a sitters house and he made them feel so loved and comfortable. I was provided with a steady stream of updates and photos and felt very secure and confident in Calvin! He’s awesome!!!
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!
This was my first experience using Rover and finding Dan. Wow! Being a new doggie Mom with senior dogs, I was really nervous. My first meeting went very well and I was reassured Bella and Gem would be happy there. Understatement! Great experience for Bella, Gem, and nervous Mom! I would absolutely recommend Dan and Rossi. They treated my dogs like their own. I received lots of updates with pictures which showed how content my girls were. Thank you!!!
Caroline, her dog Butterscotch, and their family took great care of my dog Bao Bao. He’s a shy, slightly nervous fellow and it was his first time boarding without his late big sister, but he had a lovely time. Caroline sent photos and updates daily. I’m really glad Bao got to stay with a nice family with a dog and a yard instead of some mass boarding setup. We will definitely check with Caroline before any other sitters in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dedham on Rover is $77.75 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,267 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Dedham sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dedham landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dedham 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 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 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 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.
