“Caty and her family are great. They treated Sagan like one of their own and developed a good bond with him. This was our first time leaving him with a sitter so he experienced a bit of separation anxiety but Caty and her family were very patient and helped him through it. Thank you for taking good care of our buddy.”
“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!!!”
“Denise is amazing! I am always anxious to leave my little chihuahua with anyone new and she immediately made him comfortable with her wonderful and calm environment. I will definitely be booking with her again and cannot recommend her enough! 😊”
“My little Lucy, a dachshund/Chihuahua mix, has serious back problems. Also, she and I spend nearly all day every day together. So leaving her anywhere can be very stressful - for both of us. Yet the opposite is true when Lucy stays with Bob and Kathy and Milo. Bob and Kathy go the extra mile with Lucy, being extra careful to protect her back. And Lucy is in heaven -- racing to their door and anxious to start her vacation. When I come to pick her up, she greets me happily, but then turns back to play with her friends. This doesn't happen in ANY other situations! Lucy clearly enjoys herself and feels totally safe. Finding Bob, Kathy and Milo has been the best thing to happen to Lucy and me!”
“Kristen was amazing, she gave me daily updates on my fur baby. Galaxy felt very comfortable in thier home and I will 100% reccommend their services. Grateful to find a local family that truely cares about dogs and thier well being.”
“Rita did a great job of figuring out how Olaf would fit in with her dogs and what motivates him. He had a great stay and we'll definitely use Rita again if she's available.”
“Jade is an exceptional trainer and caretaker. She took excellent care of our somewhat reactive dog with complete confidence. She immediately put our dog at ease. Highly recommended!”
“Sylwia Wasn’t awesome caretaker for our dog Rosie. Got pictures almost every day of how happy she was. I have never been so happy leaving my dog with someone and feeling so secure that she was being taken such good care of and loved. Will definitely be using her again”
“The pups came home happy and healthy. No stress for them or for us. Such a great alternative to being in a kennel. Hyesun and family did a great job! Thanks you!”
“Freddi took outstanding care of Penny!!! She has an idyllic setup for hosting and provided Penny a cozy and comfortable stay while we were out of town. We loved the photos Freddi sent every day - Penny was clearly right at home! Would definitely book again.”
“Definitely recommend Faith! This weekend was my dogs first stay and she put my mind at ease from the beginning. She was very responsive and sent many updates through the stay which was great! Even though it was Neelys first stay, faith made me feel so comfortable that he was in great hands.”
“Laura took such great care of our dogs and was very kind to accommodate us on short notice! She truly “gets” dogs and her understanding of how to introduce dogs to one another insured that ours had a peaceful visit!”
“Ana Maria was great with my puppy. She was very caring and understanding of my puppy separation anxiety, and also she was flexible with my last minute schedule change. She was truly a blessing during our trip to MA and I am looking forward to come back to MA to visit my daughter and booking with Ana Maria again. 😊”
“Mirellys was AMAZING!! Super sweet and so loving with my pup. Sent me so many updates and photos to help me feel more comfortable. Will use her over and over again if I can. So grateful for all of your help you truly are amazing! Tysm!!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Krystyna & Sara G. were absolutely amazing with my mini Goldendoodle, Hazel! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in caring and capable hands. They provided excellent communication throughout her stay, including updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Hazel came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Krystyna and Sara treated her like part of their family, giving her plenty of attention, affection, and care. They went above and beyond to make sure all of her needs were met and that she felt comfortable and loved. I would highly recommend Krystyna & Sara G. to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Hazel—I will definitely be booking with you again! 🐾❤️”
“We used Sam to board our dog Mia for the first time recently, and she was absolutely amazing! We just adopted Mia two months ago (she’s a rescue from the south), so we were super nervous about leaving her for a week. At the dog hotel we used to use for our other pup, they literally charged us $4 per photo and we constantly had to beg them for updates. Sam was the exact opposite. Right from the meet-and-greet, she was so attentive and asked tons of questions to make sure she knew exactly how to give Mia the best care. While we were gone, she sent so many updates and pictures without us even having to ask, which gave us total peace of mind. She even handled Mia's allergy medication which was another concern of ours. Plus, her dog Poppy is the absolute cutest and friendliest pup ever! If want someone who will actually give you pup personal, hands-on love and attention, you need to book Sam.”
“This was the first time for me and my family using Rover and finding Donnie. I am so glad I decided to go with Donnie for Kion’s boarding. Donnie offered just the right boarding options for us. It gave Kion, my Pup, the home like atmosphere while putting structures in place. We are looking forward to using his services in the future including on going Trainings for Kion. TY”
“We love having Luna stay with Jessica! We rest easy knowing that she is well cared for and having fun. Jessica is responsive to Luna’s individual needs and it is clear Luna loves staying with her. We will definitely use Jessica again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Ipswich on Rover is $60.48 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 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 3,534 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Ipswich. About 90% of Ipswich 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.
