“I would highly recommend Julie. She watched my golden retriever for a weekend while I was out of town. She send frequent updates and photos which I loved. Julie clearly loves dogs very much and that is evident in how well she takes care of them.”
“Great experience boarding Summer for 3 days! They sent updates daily and were very easy to communicate with. They even got Summer special treats!”
“Isabella did a great job in minding Marvin and Mellow. My cats are usually nervous at first, but settled down really well throughout their stay. She kept us in the loop with loads of photos and videos. By the end, our cats were content and I would definitely book her again!”
“Nalix was incredibly patient and tried to do everything to care for our pup while we were away. He was anxious and wouldn’t settle but this sitter was so good with him . Highly recommend.”
“Zarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)”
“Steven was phenomenal. He sent us daily updates and photos, and it was clear Carly felt completely at home. She came back happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Truly an exceptional experience.”
“Just simply phenomenal!! Our flights were delayed several times and even canceled, at one time, but they were both so understanding and sent pictures of Bentley and Bentley was so relaxed. I wanna keep them permanently!”
“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“Jing was highly responsive and took great care of Baks. Communication was thoughtful and prompt. She sent tons of pictures and updates which put my mind to ease. I was able to pick Baks up early with no issue and was very happy to see him early. Baks stayed with Jing for 4 nights while I was out of town.”
“Jess was an amazing pet-sitter. The walks and family time were just what our dog loves. He came home happy and well-rested and not exhausted like he usually does when boarded at a kennel-type facility. He enjoyed the love and attention he received, as well as the interaction with the other dogs. We will definitely be using Jess again!”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dogs, Cloe and Luna, received! They were clearly happy and comfortable, and we really appreciated all the photos and videos Casey sent us while we were away. It was really reassuring to know they were in good hands. We'd definitely leave them with her again!”
“Coakley loved his stay with Joseph! Joe was great with communication and sent photos which we really appreciated. We'll definitely book again the next time we're in town.”
“Dana was able to help us out last minute and was great at communicating and keeping us updated regularly. Anytime I had a question or checked in he was very responsive. Our pup was in great spirits when we got back and seems like he had a great time with Dana.”
“Luna really had a great week with Alyson! I highly recommend her. She sent is daily updates. She took special care of our cat. The transition back home has been amazing. Hoping she will be our cat sitter forever!”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo were absolutely amazing with Bruno over Christmas break. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and clearly cared so much about him. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands, and it was obvious he was happy and well cared for the entire time. They kept me updated, treated him like one of their own, and went above and beyond. I could not recommend them enough!!!”
“Tyler was amazing with my Lobo and Tango! He was a great communicator and I was ever grateful for the flexibility as my travel plans change unexpectedly a few times while I was away. I could tell they were truly cared for and a spoiled just as much (if not more) than would have been with me! Highly recommend and will be trying Tyler again for my next dog care needs”
“Shuhua is such an amazing dog sitter. She treats my dog with such care and love, send me tons of pictures and updates, that I feel completely stress free when I’m traveling. My dog is in great hands!!! Maybe better hands than mine! :)”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”

Fiona, my greyhound, stayed with Andrea for about a week and had a great time. I got to see photos of her snuggling on the couch, as well as her feeling quite relaxed with all her legs in the air while she sleeps, just like she does at home. Fiona was clearly quite comfortable and making herself right at home. I will definitely be using Andrea again!
Highly recommend Daria. She's communicative and transparent - letting us know if running even a few minutes early/late or if the normal or if the normal walk has any slight changes in routine. Beyond being very professional, she clearly LOVES being with pups and gave our dog all the love he could ask for. We'll definitely be coming back to Daria in the future.
Zarah is very attentive to my dog Wolfie. He’s got some real separation anxiety, and that in turn gives me anxiety when I have to find a new sitter. Zarah wanted to learn about all the little things she could do to make Wolfie feel safe and at home while staying with her. She even set up a Google form to fill out to learn more detail about wolfie’s behavior and preferences before we did our meet and greet, where I quickly felt great about booking with her. Her dog honey is very sweet! Highly recommend.
Hannah was amazing with Mochi. While Mochi is easy to take care of at home, her reactiveness is something to be watched outside, and Hannah navigated through it without any issues allowing Mochi to have a great time. Mochi seemed very happy when I picked her up and I also got plenty of updates throughout the stay.
Our dog Breezy seemed to enjoy her stay and we’d book with Tauryn again! She was a good communicator, followed our instructions, and she sent photos each day. From the initial visit, Breezy seemed comfortable with her and her house, which doesn’t happen with all new people.
Highly recommend Mokeisha to watch your pups!! She was a fast communicator, reliable and took excellent care of our two dogs!! She sent lots of photos of them while we were away and was accommodating to their unique routines. She was also really understanding and comforting to our pups while they had some separation anxiety which was extremely comforting to us. Thanks Mokeisha! We will absolutely leave our dogs with her again.
So glad that Lauren is back on Rover. Sierra remembered her, and I think it must have been 4 years since her last stay there. From the second she got out of the car, she was excited, and by the time we got to the sidewalk up to the door, she was wagging her butt off, so excited to be back. A great stay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Jamaica Plain on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,078 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Jamaica Plain. 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 Jamaica Plain 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 Jamaica Plain 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 Jamaica Plain 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 Jamaica Plain.
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 Jamaica Plain 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.
