“This was the second time Stephen and Cecilia watched Winnie, and they were just as amazing as the first! They always keep in touch, send plenty of pictures, and make sure Winnie is happy and loved the entire time. She’s actually bored to tears now that she’s back home! I’d absolutely recommend them — not only for the great care they give to Winnie, but also for how accommodating they are with pick-up and drop-off times”
“Jason was absolutely amazing with my dog, Tayto! I felt so at ease knowing he was in great hands. Jason totally welcomed Tayto in to his home and family. His dog, Noah, was the best playmate for Tayto. Jason gave lots of updates and photos to share all the fun they were having together. Definitely recommend and will be booking with him again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Marilyn, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two pups of my own ♥️ Because my dogs struggle with separation anxiety, I understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy caring for your pet while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and I genuinely believe pets deserve love, attention, and care. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, extra cuddles, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence around, I’m happy to follow their routine and your preferences. I work from home most of the time, which gives me flexibility throughout the day and allows me to be responsive and reliable. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of communication so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away 🐾 I work from home 90% of the time and have lots of flexibility during the day. I can give advance notice on days I’m not physically available. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that’s familiar to them. When caring for pets in their home, I try to follow their established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention! 😊 As a pet owner myself, I understand how important communication is, so I am happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I have one dog and have fostered over a dozen others, including various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience working with super energetic dogs and reactive dogs and love training! I am home for the summer, and I am available all day, because I am working from home! My schedule is very flexible so let me know what works best for you :). Safety is always my number one priority. I have lots of experience reading animal behavior. Please tell me what I should know about your pets or before coming to your home, and if there are any precautions you would like me to take in order to keep your pets happy and healthy! I will always keep dogs on leash, and keep water and treats with me. Will send updates and picture/videos too!
“I contacted Jing last-minute for an overnight stay. She was super-responsive, and during the stay she sent me photos and updates. My dog Bobo seemed happy and got plenty of time out in the yard with her pooches. I would definitely send him there again if she is available!”
“Sheila was great with Lila and very communicative! She was not phased at all by Lila’s medication schedule or special instructions for walking :) I would definitely recommend her to take care of your dog!”
“Steven was phenomenal. He sent us daily updates and photos, and it was clear Carly felt completely at home. She came back happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Truly an exceptional experience.”
“Dusty had a great time with Julie, and she was terrific. Warm and caring, really great communication throughout Dusty’s stay, which is always much appreciated. Flexible and understanding on a traffic delay I had coming to get her. Would definitely have Dusty stay again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for quality care for your pup!”
“Tianyue took great care of Elliot. She sent lots of photos and managed his medications and eye drops very well. I felt super comfortable leaving Elliot with her for nearly a week.”
“Hyesoo and her family were absolutely AMAZING! I can’t leave enough stars! Hyesoo sent me many pictures and videos as well as a detailed schedule daily. She was so accommodating and made the stay for our pup absolutely wonderful and worry-free on our end. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Natasha created a home away from home for my rat terrier mix and I am so grateful for her grace filled kindness. I can trust that my pup will receive the most attentive care and will without doubt book with her again.”
“Sunil was quick to respond when we had another sitter suddenly cancel. She has taken very special care of our pup as she has recovered from a string inflamation. We were worried to leave her for a trip we could t cancel and we felt very relieved to leave her with Sunil. She sent us videos and photos everyday and you can clearly tell she is carefully taking care and listening to Escarcha. She went above and beyond.”
“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!”
“After having to cancel twice due to illness in the family, we were finally able to leave our puppy with Kira for the weekend. We had a fantastic experience. Kira was very proactive in sharing updates and pictures, and our dog seemed to have a wonderful time. Kira was also very understanding with the multiple reschedules; all in all, a great experience. Highly recommend.”
“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”
“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!!”

Julie did an incredible job watching my 2yo Lab! I felt very comfortable leaving him with her while I had to travel out of town. She is knowledgeable and asked lots of questions about him. He looked like he had an absolute blast during his stay! Would 100% recommend and rebook in the future!
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.
We could not be happier with our experience. She is an absolute gem of a dog sitter who took such incredible care of Coco—probably even better than we do! Her communication was exceptional throughout the stay, keeping us informed and reassured every step of the way. She constantly went above and beyond, and it is instantly clear just how much she truly loves animals. We feel so fortunate to have found her and will definitely be booking many more stays for Coco in the near future. You simply can't go wrong booking with her!
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!
Brian was an excellent sitter for.our English Bulldog and Pug. We got lots of pictures assuring us they were getting lots of love and attention, and when we picked them up they were happy and attentive. It's great to have found a sitter as good as the family that used to watch our dogs. We will ABSOLUTELY take our dogs to Brian in the future.
As an owner to a newly adopted dog, I was very anxious about having to leave my dog behind for two days so soon after bringing her home. Jodi was quick with responses, sent lots of pictures and videos, and asked questions when necessary. She was wonderful and I will be booking her again. Thank you, Jodi!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Dedham on Rover is $77.6 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,460 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dedham. About 90% of Dedham 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.
