“Thank you for taking care of Doodle -she’s not the easiest dog to handle but thank you for being so incredibly responsible, always on time, and cares for her well-being. I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter!”
“Alan and Ying took wonderful care of Ripley during his four-night stay. They were very thoughtful in their approach to make him feel comfortable and at home. Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.”
“Julie was simply fantastic with Wesley. She let him sniff around and learn get comfortable in her apartment while I was there to make sure he was ok. Lots of photos and Infor a laugh as she she shared a Wesley story as she took him for a walk and he waited hopefully for some free pizza. I would definitely rebook.”
“We had great experience with Nalix dog sitting our 14 year old Shitzu. Nalix took great care of our dog, keeping daily communication and pictures. She even put booties on her when it snowed so she’d feel more comfortable going on walks. We highly recommend Nalix for your next vacation.”
“Jing was an amazing sitter for my elderly dog, Tela! She was available last minute for a few days and took such good care of her. She sent many pictures and videos updating me about Tela’s stay so that I had no concerns or worries. She also would update me after providing Tela’s medication to her. Tela was in great spirits when I went to pick her up - and she can be very picky about where she stays. I would definitely recommend Jing!!”
“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!”
“Vanessa took wonderful care of my dear Clementine. Clementine was very happy in Vanessa's care. I'm very grateful for how well cared for Clementine was with Vanessa!”
“Aly is wonderful as always. She and her adorable daughter took great care of our cat while we traveled for over three weeks. Knowing that our cat is in caring hands gives us so much peace of mind when we are away. Plus, Aly always goes above and beyond. She even made extra trips to our house and when she discovered that our refrigerator had broken, she emptied it and prevented a bigger mess. We can’t thank her enough.”
“Isabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.”
“Shana was great with our dog Basil! She watched her just overnight but Basil definitely looks like she got plenty of walks, attention, and couch time! Will definitely keep Shana in mind for future sits!”
“Alex is the best! My dog has been sick and Alex took good care of her and was attentive. My dog was on meds & she made sure she took her pills. Strongly recommend Alex!”
“Thank you Barb (and Chiquita) for taking great care of Andy the other day! Very much looking forward to having someone dependable nearby that I can entrust with my little man.”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Hyesoo and her husband were such kind and caring hosts for our Maltipoo! They were extremely accommodating and took picture updates that really delighted us and let us know he was in good hands. I can see why she has 51 5-star reviews!!!! Thank you Hyesoo!”
“We left our dog, Elsa, with Shuhua for almost two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Shuhua was caring, communicative, and very flexible, which made everything so much easier. She sent us regular photo updates throughout Elsa’s stay, giving us great peace of mind. It was clear that Elsa was well cared for, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We would absolutely leave Elsa with Shuhua again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”
“Jing is amazing. We had such a wonderful experience with her and her delightful family. I was comfortable from the minute we got there for drop off and never worried for a second the entire weekend. Jing sent a ton of really cute pictures throughout our stay with her and she was very communicative. I would use her again is a second!”
“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!”

I highly recommend Shuhua! Shuhua accepted my booking very last minute, and I’m so grateful she was able to accommodate Zoe. She kept me updated throughout Zoe’s stay, sent me lots of photos, and took her on many walks. Zoe is a small, sweet dog with lots of energy, and I could tell from the photos that she was happy, comfortable, and really enjoyed her stay with Shuhua. Shuhua was also very responsive to my messages, polite, and easy to communicate with. I felt reassured knowing Zoe was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her! Thanks again Shuhua
Phillipa was wonderful. She was easy to communicate with throughout the entire process of booking, meet and greet, and during the stay. She sent tons of picture updates which was so appreciated. She really seemed to enjoy dogs and spending time with them. My pup was relaxed and happy during the stay.

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.
