“Faith was wonderful to our boy Nico! She was responsive and kept us updated everyday while we were away. She was professional and kept a check list for Nico. Everything was an easy process with no issues and Nico seemed to enjoy his stay with Faith. We now know who we can trust with Nico! Thank you again Faith! 😊”

“We had an amazing experience with Laura! She is incredibly reliable, thorough, and trustworthy. From the start, she went above and beyond by meeting us halfway for pickup and drop-off since we live far away, which made things so much easier for us. Throughout our dog’s stay, she kept us updated with pictures and messages, giving us peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. We could tell our dog was well cared for and happy. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”
“While my family and I were on vacation, Rita did an excellent job taking care of Mango. She kept me updated daily with pictures and updates on his well-being. What I appreciated the most was the fact that Rita's home has a spacious fenced yard where Mango could get ample exercise. I will undoubtedly utilize Rita's services again and am grateful for discovering her on Rover. I highly suggest using Rita if you require a dog sitter.”

“My dog, Chai gets very aggressive with other dogs and many humans, but I was confident that he will be fine with Donnie when I took him to the interview. Chai was very comfortable as soon as he walked into the house( it doesn’t happen in any other places). Chai stayed with Donnie for 10 days while I was traveling out of country. I received some pics and videos of Chai and it warmed my heart. I’ll definitely ask Donnie again!! He’s wonderful!!”


“I believe that if Hazel could talk, she would let us know that she had a great time. We received lots of photos of a happy dog, and she really seemed to like playing with the owner's dogs too. Everything was very professional, from the first meeting, texts in both directions and the pick-up. Sylwia's family clearly cares for the dogs, and makes them feel very welcome in her home. Highly recommend.”

“Banksy absolutely loved his stay with Natasha & Jonathan! They were both amazing in ensuring he had everything he needed as well as sending lots of pictures and videos! We will definitely be using them again!”

“Brooke watched our two pups for a long weekend and they both came back completely wiped out from the fun they had. She was very accommodating with our schedule as we had to drop them off very early and pick them up very late. Thank you again!”

“Mirellys took great care of my Bailey. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and provided lots of updates and pictures. Bailey loved her time with Mirellys and I would absolutely recommend her to watch your dog and would have her watch bailey again in the future.”


“Alyssa and Zach took great care of our dog. They sent pictures, and we saw that she had wonderful time walking on the beach. When we got her back, she was happy and relaxed. They also picked her up and dropped her off, even though it was quite a distance for them to drive. I should also mention that they agreed to take our dog on a very short notice - the same day when I contacted Alyssa. Very accommodating and punctual. We will be happy to let Alyssa and Zach take care of our pup again!”

“I'm delighted to share my experience with Mercis, who truly went above and beyond to ensure Sherlock felt at home. From multiple walks, playtime, and genuine care made all the difference. Thanks to the extraordinary effort and exceptional care… our dog returned happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend!”

“Zwany & Leandro made me feel so great about leaving my dog for the weekend. They set up time to meet beforehand, so we could see how she would react around their dog. Zwany also asked me so many questions about my dog’s temperament, commands she knows, etc. I have only ever used boarding facilities in the past, but my dog absolutely loved staying with Zwany & Leandro! She spent so much time with people, and from the pictures they sent, I could tell she had a blast! I highly recommend.”


“Jack had a such a great time with Freddi. She took my high energy boy to walk in the woods everyday, which he always enjoyed. Sent plenty of pictures and updates daily. I truly appreciate the care and would be in contact again!”

“Lady spent another great day with Elliott! She is always so happy when we arrive and clearly enjoys her time there. We are very grateful to be able to leave her in such good hands!”

“So thankful to Donna and John for taking such excellent care of our dog while we were away. It can be very challenging to find boarding suitable for her due to her being dog-aggressive, but Donna and John willingly accepted her as their only client for the weekend and made us feel so comfortable knowing she was going to be in such good hands!”
“So grateful for how good they took care of our fur baby 🥹 Had some delays with our flight and they were so understanding! Igo is so adorable and I’m so happy Kai had a friend to play with!”

“Very responsive and friendly. Received pictures everyday. Clean and safe home settings. Gets walk and play time everyday. Very happy with how Caty cares for my fur baby. Will definitely book her again.”


“Carol and her family are lovely! They took such great care of Stevie. I got a lot of pictures, great communication, updates and was relieved that Stevie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Carol.”

“Michael and his family were great!! Our Golden Jaxson came home super happy!! He sent multiple update pics and was very responsive!! Felt so at ease Knowing Michael was caring for Jaxson! 🐾”

“Five stars is not enough! We left Chewbacca with Karen for a few days this week. Chewbacca has various specific needs, including oral medication and prescription diet, and he gets very nervous when first dropped off. We have never had such a strong sense of peace of mind with a dog sitter as we did this weekend. Karen was extremely communicative, updated us through text and pictures throughout the day, and always made sure to go the extra mile so Chewbacca felt safe and cared for. We will absolutely be calling her again!”

“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!”

There are 3,471 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.

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.
