“What a wonderful visit my Timmy had with Donna! It was his first visit with her and there will be plenty more to come. She is a very caring, loving woman who goes out of her way to make sure her visitors are comfortable, happy and safe!”
“We'd give a 6/5 if we could. Ariane and her family were absolutely wonderful with Lady. She had a great week, and really enjoyed playing with Ariane's dogs. We got updates every day, and it really helped us enjoy our trip more.”
“My dog Hank had the most amazing time with Lindsay and her family. She is extremely communicative, caring, and loving. 1000% recommend her and we will be bask.”
“Rebeca and her husband were great! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout Walter's stay. He looked very happy and tired from all the walks and play time. We will absolutely use them again. Thanks!”
“Michael was very communicative the whole time, and our Caju had a great time at his house! He was well taken care of and came back happy and tired :) I’ll definitely do it again when needed!”
“Julie and her family were amazing for our dog, Queso, and our family. She helped us out on a last minute cancellation of our dog sitter and took care of Queso for a full week. Her family took her on walks, played with her, and welcomed her into their home! She updated us with messages and photos. We are very grateful and hope to use her in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Thank you so much Mike for taking care of Jaxx. We are so lucky that you were available to watch him while we were on vacation. We appreciate you and your wife for the great care you provided to our pup :)”
“As usual, Gienna was wonderful, providing great care for Wagner. We got daily updates with photos and videos. Wagner clearly loves staying with Gienna and really bonded with Maggie. We feel really confident leaving Wagner with Gienna and have already booked more stays!”
“Monty's stay with Felicia was great! She provided us with lots of updates along the way, and we felt like he was in very safe hands. Our puppy came home happy and relaxed, and it was adorable at pickup seeing how much Felicia and her kids enjoyed having him there ❤️”
“Another amazing stay for Rosie with Lori and Billy! We are a repeat customer and have found each and every time Lori (and family) take amazing care of our Rosie girl. The most recent stay, our family went out of state to an area with limited cell reception. We have a lot of trust in Lori that we know Rosie will be happy and we’ll cared for. We got tons of pictures during the week and it made us so happy and able to relax knowing Rosie was having so much fun! We highly recommend Lori! Thank you for taking good care of our girl!”
“Samantha was great with both me and my dog. This was my first Rover booking and she and her husband were super accommodating and took great care of Della: taking her on walks, making sure the cats stayed away and giving her cuddle time (with kids❤️). Would book again if i was in the area.”
“Paul and Megan were absolutely wonderful with my dog Gus. As an anxious rescue dog, he can be hesitant in new situations and around new people, but they showed so much patience, kindness, and understanding that he quickly seemed to feel at ease with them. I’m incredibly grateful for the love and attention they gave him and would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Thank you for minding Theo in our absence! Great videos, excellent response time to my messages. Exceptionally knowledgeable about dog behavior! Lovely family, great back yard and lots of walks. Happy, tired guy. Thank you!”
“Jennifer and her family were so wonderful. They provided a lovely and safe home for Walter while we were on vacation. Her dog Molly even taught our dog good manners. Highly recommended!!!”
“Mercis took care of our pet Ori for a couple days and she did an amazing job. She was very enthusiastic and updated us with pics and vids regularly, played and even trained Ori at times. I could tell that Ori had a great time with her as well. I highly recommend Mercis.”
“Bob (and his wife Kathy) could not have been more welcoming to our timid dog, Ruby! They treated her as if she was their own! They took her for rides and walks and even let her sleep on their bed! Received text message updates (with pictures!) throughout her stay! Put my mind completely at ease while we were away! We are so lucky to have found you! ”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber were so welcoming from our very first meet and greet that we felt Bentley would be in great hands. During our trip we received great photos of Bentley enjoying his time with Kyber, as they quickly became best buds. We look forward to having Bentley visit again with Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber.”
“Felicia was absolutely incredible with Luna. She took her on so many great walks. Sent pics of Luna snuggled up on her couch. Luna came back so happy but wiped after the couple of busy and active days with Felicia. Luna is already looking forward to her next stay! Would highly recommend Felicia - she was so awesome, highly communicative and took amazing care of Luna🐾”
“David and his family were fantastic hosts to our pup - we cannot recommend them highly enough! They were responsive during the booking process and continued with consistent communication throughout Vega's stay. The level of care and attention being paid to Vega was immediately obvious due to the updates and observations we received each night. Our dog has a bit of anxiety, especially during longer stays away, and David was on-point about noticing changes in her behavior and asking questions when necessary. Barring a scheduling conflict there's no other family we'd even consider having Vega stay with.”
“Jennifer was amazing watching our puppy, Loki! She even provided pet taxi for pick up and drop off! She kept us updated throughout his weekend stay with her the entire time and he loved playing with her 2 pups! Thank you so much!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Ipswich
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ipswich on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,426 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ipswich. 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 Ipswich 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 Ipswich 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 Ipswich 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 Ipswich.
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 Ipswich 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.
