“Julie was amazing, it’s no wonder she has star sitter status! I always get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she sent lots of pictures and updates about how he was doing. Seymour came home so content and relaxed!”
“Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!”
“Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.”
“Nally and her husband take amazing care of my anxious, reserved little dog. They send regular pics / video updates and take the dogs on multiple unique, exciting walks everyday, play with them and show them affection. We are so grateful for Nally’s service!”
“Alec and Damien were fantastic with my dog, Winston. They were very responsive and kept me updated with photos, which made me feel at ease. Winston looked completely comfortable and happy in their care—they truly treated him like their own. When I picked him up, he didn’t even want to leave, which says everything. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Alan and Ying are beyond attentive, made us feel very comfortable and confident when leaving our pup with them. Great communication across the board!”
“Whitney and David welcomed Koyuki again this time. They always care for her as if she were part of their own family. We can leave our dog with them with complete peace of mind every time.”
“Jess was great! It was so easy to book and she is super responsive kept us informed and send us plenty of pictures. Easy drop off easy pickup. Five Star All Around. her rates are reasonable. Thanks for taking care of Chase I'm sure we'll see you again. Nir”
“Couldn't be happier with Joe! He was super accommodating to my dog's slightly ADHD nature, sent updates and photos every day, and was more than flexible with the logistics of pick up and drop off. I look forward to using him again!”
“Aly was extremely helpful when watching my cat. Made sure to keep me updated, even asked how often I’d want updates. Great environment for a dog or cat, accommodated all of my requests and I could tell my cat was happy and entertained there”
“Kim was wonderful with our dog Ziggy. She treated him as if he was part of her household! I received beautiful photos of him playing with her dog, her walks in the woods, and of him sleeping. I definitely recommend Kim. She has a caring way with her own dogs and my dog immediately seemed comfortable with her and them. Kim made me (and Ziggy) feel feel cared for!”
“Dana was great and responsible! Easy to communicate and frequently updated with photos and videos. He was also very flexible in accommodating my schedule change due to the flight delay... Many thanks!”
“Greta was very kind, patient, communicative and accommodating! Lots of updates and pics throughout my dogs stay. Plenty of walks and park time. He seemed genuinely happy to be there!”
“Jo and Adam did an incredible job taking care of our dog. They were great about communicating and sending plenty of pictures while they watched our puppy. We absolutely plan to use Jo and Adam again in the future.”
“Casey was wonderful with Maddie. She sent us daily updates and pictures and Maddie always looked SO happy. Our minds were at ease with Casey. Drop off and pick up was easy and flexible and communication was quick. I would trust our girl with Casey again for our next trip!”
“Erin did a great job!! She was so sweet to my dog, going above and beyond to help and accommodate her needs! She also was amazing with communicating with me and made sure to keep me updated on everything going on, I really appreciated everything she did for us!!”
“Tyler was great to Coco! He helped her become part of the pack he was watching and kept me well informed. She was so exhausted after her stay- like she just got back from summer camp!”

Maja and her partner were a good fit for us! My dog, Kiwi, is not used to staying with new people and this was a two week stay. Maja was very patient, calm, and kind throughout the stay as Kiwi took time to acclimate to new people and a more urban environment. I would definitely book with Maja again!
I couldn’t be happier with the service Hyesoo provided to my dog Randy. If I could give her 6 stars, I would do that! Hyesoo took care of Randy as he was her own dog. She updated me daily with pictures and videos and added always a nice message to reassure me Randy was doing well. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her dog sitting services again in the future.
Sunil took wonderful care of our dog, Brownie, while we were away\. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and treated Brownie like one of her own\. She made sure Brownie got plenty of walks and even cooked chicken for her dinner, which was such a thoughtful touch\. Throughout our time away, Sunil kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind knowing Brownie was happy and well cared for\. I truly appreciated her communication, compassion, and dedication\. I would highly recommend Sunil to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter\. We will definitely use her again\!
Hannah is a repeat dog sitter for us. We trust that she will always take good care of our dog. She called when he was scared and shaking, and we were able to determine what was triggering his issue (not anything Hannah did) so I feel she is very responsible when something unexpected happens.
Dana was incredible. We had a last‑minute trip come up, and he didn’t hesitate to take in Zeus, our 11‑year‑old boy, with so much care and kindness. He sent daily updates and photos, and it was obvious in every single one that Zeus felt comfortable, happy, and completely at ease. Zeus is older and can be particular, but Dana handled everything beautifully. When we picked Zeus up, he was relaxed, content, and honestly a little exhausted from all the fun he had. That told us everything we needed to know about the level of attention and affection he received. We’re so grateful for Dana’s flexibility, communication, and genuine love for animals. We’ll absolutely book with him again.
Paige was fantastic taking care of Ellie. It was our first time leaving her and felt super comfortable with Paige immediately. We were sent pictures, videos, updates everyday which helped put our minds at ease. 10/10 experience and will certainly be rebooking again!
Caroline, her dog Butterscotch, and their family took great care of my dog Bao Bao. He’s a shy, slightly nervous fellow and it was his first time boarding without his late big sister, but he had a lovely time. Caroline sent photos and updates daily. I’m really glad Bao got to stay with a nice family with a dog and a yard instead of some mass boarding setup. We will definitely check with Caroline before any other sitters in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Jamaica Plain on Rover is $51.45 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,145 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.
