“We really want to leave a bad review so we can selfishly keep Dolev all to ourselves, but she was truly amazing with our nervous dog Max. We knew within an hour that we were leaving him in such good and caring hands that it mad our trip away even more relaxing. We received frequent updates and pictures, which were very comforting , and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be using her again as our boy Max was very well taken care of and loved while he was with her and her family. Highly recommend.”
“Yang was so great with our dog! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. She was also so wonderful to us, our flight was canceled and rescheduled for 2 days later. Luckily we were able to get out the following night but Yang was so accommodating and kind while we were in a state of worry. Lucky will be back in a few weeks for a second stay!”
“Hi Carol! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Rylie while we were away! We really appreciated you keeping us updated on how she was doing while she was getting acclimated, all of the pics and video clips, and especially your thoughtfulness in offering to run out and get her something else to eat when she initially wasn’t eating — that was so sweet and reassuring she was in such great hands! Thank you so much for going above and beyond. We’d be happy to book with you again in the future! Thanks again! Kim”
“Faith was excellent with her care of Lucy. She took Lucy on a walk which is one of her favorite activities. She has a great fenced in yard (perfect for dogs). I would recommend to watch your dog. GWB”
“Rosalynn and Angel were absolutely wonderful with my old dog. They did a great job of communicating while I was away and my girl came home happy. I will definitely be using them again in the future! So nice to know a trusted sitter in the area.”
“We boarded our dog and cat for a week. Likun is very experienced and attentive in taking care of both cats and dogs. We received daily updates and she also replied to our messages very promptly. Her Border Collie is so sweet and gentil. Our puppy was really happy she has a mature big sister and perfect playmate! The home is well equipped to take care of multiple pets and her backyard is perfect for dogs to play in.”
“Rose cared for my Cairn terrier when my usual sitter was unavailable on short notice. She was attentive and responsive, sending updates and photos frequently during our long weekend away. You can tell she really enjoys dogs and makes an effort to make them feel comfortable in her home.”
“We were abroad when we suddenly needed doggie care, so I reached out to Maddy, and she responded immediately! She did a fantastic job caring for our sweet 6 year old lab. She sent plenty of amazing photos and updates, which made us feel completely at ease, especially since this was our first time using Rover. Maddy was communicative, friendly, and made sure our dog got plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. It was clear he was incredibly well cared for and absolutely loved his time with her! I would highly recommend Maddy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We will absolutely be boarding our dog with her again!”
“Veska and her family are wonderful people. My dog enjoyed his visit and Veska was more than understanding of our delay picking up. She kept my dog one more night without a problem and sent me pictures that she captured of my dog looking happy, comfortable and feeling right at home ! Will definitely be my first choice the next time I leave town.”
“Arnav was fantastic - great communicator, flexible when our plans changed, and he clearly took great care of our pup. Most importantly, our pup came home happy and calm.”
“Lauren is a great sitter and Woody loved her! She was very playful and loving with Woody, I’m sure he had so much fun with her and Remy! Would definitely recommend her to sit your pet. I appreciate for all the help! Thank you!”
“I reached out to Alison when my long time boarder decided to stop their services and I am very glad I found her. She is just amazing and so caring, and took great care of my dog. My dog is shy and can be afraid of other dogs but I could see how happy and comfortable she was around Alison and her dogs. I am usually always anxious whenever I leave my dog but not this time. Alison and her family are amazing and I highly recommend her! Can’t thank you enough Alison!”

“Tiffany was great with Buck. I contacted her sort of last minute, and she was accommodating. She sent me a few check ins that made my day while traveling. Buck came home happy and healthy. I recommend Tiffany.”
“Svetlana did an amazing job taking care of Kaia! She absolutely adored Kaia and sent so many updates. We felt at ease and did not have to worry about Kaia during our time away.”
“This was the second time that Arista stayed with Wendy. Wendy has a new, larger home that gave Arista even more room to run around in and play with Wendy's two very cute and friendly dogs. Wendy sent photos and videos daily and was a great sitter. We recommend her with enthusiasm!”
“Alex was amazing! Our friend couldn't take our 14yo poodle over the weekend due to a previous commitment, we had a conference to attend and time was running out. I found Rover.com and thought we'd see what it was all about. Thankfully the stars aligned and Alex's profile popped up as being close by and he was available. We scheduled a call to talk about Lucky. It was important to us to find the right fit for our 14 yo rescue. Once I read through Alex's reviews and talked to him, I knew he was definitely the perfect fit for us and Lucky. We set a visit so they could meet prior to our trip and Lucky immediately felt comfortable with Alex. Alex sent updates several times a day and a video of Lucky playing and going for a walk. He knew it was really me that was the nervous one ☺. Lucky had the time of his life, made a new friend and we definitely have Alex on speed dial now. Being able to find someone your dog immediately feels comfortable with takes a weight off your shoulders and knowing they're in good hands and having fun allowed us to attend our conference without worry. Thank you Alex - you rock!”
“Jo and Adam took great care of Kesha! Jo sent daily pictures and updates and responded very quickly to messages. They made sure my dog felt safe and comfortable and happy! Would book with them again!”

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Ipswich is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 3,503 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
