“It was our first time boarding our dog and we had an amazing experience with Emma. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and settled in very quickly.

We are so thankful to have found Emma and would not hesitate to work with her again.”

“Elizabeth watched my two dogs for the first time for two nights. My two seven year old boys are higher energy requiring more attention than many other dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and deeply responsible. Both my dog felt right at home from early on and absolutely enjoyed the walks and playtime. She sent me regular updates with pictures allowing total peace of mind. Perhaps more importantly, my two knuckleheads found a new best friend and I found a sitter that will definitely be used again for future needs.”

Abigale and Eric were terrific! They were super responsive to my texts and sent multiple updates and photos every day. I could really tell how much fun Brisket was having with them. Their home and backyard are completely dog-friendly, and they even let Brisket lounge on the furniture and sleep in bed with them—which he absolutely loves! I will definitely be booking with them again next time I'm in town!
We left Dax with Tricia for a long weekend so we could attend a family event. I always tend to get nervous leaving Dax for such a long stay, but Tricia was absolutely fabulous. She sent check in pictures at least once a day and I got fun videos of playing fetch or going for a walk. Tricia responded quickly when I would be missing Dax or wanting to see how he was doing. She is just awesome and I'm so grateful to have good hands to leave our best boy with!
Rachel and her family are amazing! My dog has special medication and specific needs which Rachel is experienced with. I have never left my dog in anyone's caŕe in the past, yet after boarding Luna for 2 and a half days I will definitely book her again. I knew she was in safe and capable hands with Rachel. I highly recommend her!
Ruby had a wonderful first stay with Kat! From our very first conversation about boarding Ruby, Kat was attentive, thoughtful, and a great communicator. She took such great care of Ruby and kept me updated on all of their activities. I especially loved receiving the photos—it was so reassuring to see how happy, comfortable, and relaxed Ruby looked. She truly seemed to be having the best time! I felt completely at ease knowing Ruby was in such caring hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have Kat care for her again.
Great clean and organizes place. clear communication. Adam was very friendly and the house was very clean, so I felt very comfortable leaving my dog for duration of his stay. His dog Rocky was friendly as well and was a great playmate for my dog Kitsu. I will definitely be booking with Adam again! Highly recommended.
Our puppy was happy to stay with Aemelia for a couple of days. She’s very kind and it’s clear she has experience with dogs. She made our puppy feel comfortable and took good care of her. Communication was great from the start. While our dog was there, we got some nice pictures, which were much appreciated. Highly recommended.
Jessica was a fabulous caregiver for our 3-year old Lab/Aussie mix. She was loving, conscientious and followed all our suggestions, staying in daily contact with messages and pictures to reassure us that our baby was fine. We will be calling on her again when we need a dog sitter.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Holyoke is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $89 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.

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 Holyoke 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 Holyoke 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 Holyoke.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Holyoke 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.
