“We were delighted with the care that Mike provided Maisie. Mike understood that as a small dog, she would need some snuggle time to reassure her. Mike and his wife clearly love dogs and I was confident that they would care for her as if she was their own pet. I would not hesitate to call them again.”
“Jing and her family were amazing with Penelope! They were loving and kind as well as being the right mixture of adventurous and safe. Our girl had lots of outdoor time to explore in a safe environment and got to socialize with other dogs. It was a great fit, and I would highly recommend Jing to anyone looking for a safe and loving place to leave their fur babies. If Penny could talk it would be akin to a little kid coming home from summer camp! She clearly had a blast! ❤️🐶”
“We sent our little Skaii to board with Jennifer and her family for the 4th, they were so lovely and caring. She sent adorable photos of her to us as well, overall loved how she took care of our little chihuahua and would definitely rebook with her again! ❤️”
“Denise was great! She sent me lots of photos and videos of my dog, and he was clearly well cared for and enjoying himself. She has two sweet dogs herself and it was a wonderful environment.”
“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.”
“Felicia is such a warm and kind person! She immediately connected with my dog, Molly. Her space is so nice and comfortable. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog for the weekend. She’s also great with sending photos/updates and very responsive!”
“Monica was great. We will be booking again! She is extremely communicative. We exchanged messages prior to dropping our dog off, she gave periodic updates during our dogs stay and she sent pictures.”
“Freddi was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Edie! She sent great photos and updates during her stay. She clearly took great care of Edie, taking her on long walks on the beach every morning and being sensitive to her needs since she can be anxious in new places. We definitely would recommend Freddi and hope to have Edie stay again in the future!”
“Man & Zhen took great care of Wadsworth! They took him on lots of walks and sent a ton of photos. I could tell they treated him like part of the family :-) I would absolutely book with them again!!”
“Crystal and her husband were very nice, they were very engaged at the meet and greet. They asked all the right questions, and made sure that things were ok with me before they did anything. Sent me a lot of pictures and told me how well he was doing. I was a little nervous because they have another dog and although Scotti is good with other dogs he gets jealous and possessive but he did well with their dog. I was very pleased with how accommodating they were. They were flexible with pick up and drop off. I'll definitely use them again when I go away.”
“Mia had the best stay! I got the most adorable photos and videos, as well as updates throughout the weekend, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable she was. Mia absolutely loved playing with her puppy, Lola, and the videos of them together were the cutest. It was clear that Mia was treated like part of the family and got so much attention and affection. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I’m so lucky to have found Nikki and would absolutely recommend her!”
“He was great and very professional, the dogs seemed to like it there and I was sent photos. Donnie was very flexible with the booking and made adjustments as needed.”
“Finding this wonderful family was truly the best thing that could have happened for us and for our dogs - we're looking forward to a long relationship ahead! We had total peace of mind knowing how well our dogs were living in our absence - they had constant attention from this loving family. We received several photos and updates and the dogs couldn't have been any happier and lively upon our return - our dogs certainly received 5-star treatment, so the 5-star rating is well deserved - thank you so much!”
“It was very nice to have Alison to take care of my dog Leela. She’s very good updating her stay status. I would love to have the opportunity to leave my dog with her.”
“We highly recommend Jodi. The frequent updates from Jodi with photos of our dog were very helpful for putting us at ease since this was the first time boarding. We will be sure to use Jodi again.”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Stacey! From the moment we met, it was clear how caring and attentive she is with animals. Our Cody and Leo absolutely adored her. While we were away, Stacey kept us updated with photos and messages which gave us peace of mind. She went above and beyond-not only making sure Cody and Leo were fed and loved, but also taking the time to play ball and cuddle which is their favorite thing to do. When we got home, Cody and Leo were so happy and clearly well taken care for. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy and dependable-we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family. Thank you so much Stacey!”
“Wonderful experience boarding my dog with them! Zwany was flexible with scheduling, asked a lot of important questions, really wanted to get to know my dog, and provided updates/pictures.”
“Kathy was really great with my two dogs who really have never stayed anywhere other than families homes..... She kept in touch regularly and I picked up two very happy dogs! Highly recommend”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ipswich is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $79 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.
94% of sitters in Ipswich 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 Ipswich 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 Ipswich.
<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 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 , 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.
