“I cannot thank this family enough for the incredible care they provided. In a moment of high stress—when my wife went into labor at the last minute—they stepped in and looked after our senior dog, Otoko, without hesitation. Otoko is 16 years old and has a variety of medical issues that require a lot of patience and specialized attention. They didn't just "watch" him; they treated him like a member of their own family. They were incredibly attentive to his needs, taking him for gentle walks and even hand-feeding him to ensure he was getting his meals. Throughout the stay, they sent frequent pictures and videos, which gave us such immense peace of mind while we were at the hospital. Knowing he was being so well-loved and attended to allowed us to focus on our new arrival. If you are looking for sitters who truly love dogs and will go above and beyond for a senior pup with extra needs, look no further. They are an extraordinary family!”
“Francois took great care of Walter while I was on vacation. I particularly enjoyed the daily photos of their walks in the woods, it put my mind at ease that he was receiving the best care. He seemed very happy upon his return!”
“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.”
“Katerina and Roland took excellent care of our dog for us for a weekend trip. They sent us photos and videos of Lucy having a great time and were easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.”
“Ozzi had such a great time with Yang and her family. They welcomed him into their home and took great care of him. We received photos and videos every day to keep us updated, which was very appreciated. He will definitely go back on our next time away!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and walking dogs of family and friends. I have also cared for puppies and animals with disabilities. I work from home and have the flexibility to make my own schedule on most weekdays. Afternoons are preferable for dog walking, though I can usually make accommodations for AM walks as well. I will mainly be offering dog walking services, so caring for the animals in my home will likely not be required. However, if a client needs at home care, I am willing to be flexible, depending on their preferences.
“Frodo had a great stay- enjoyed playing with the hosts' dogs, I got great pictures and video updates, easy to communicate with. Would absolutely use again.”
“Elizabeth and Neil, along with their dogs Beam and Percy, gave our dog such a fun weekend! They sent frequent pictures and videos so I could see what he was up to. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Krystal. Thank you so much for taking care of Cooper and for sending consistent updates and photos throughout the stay. Communication was excellent. It gave us total peace of mind.”
“Yi was fabulous! She took great care of our ragdoll kitten, Pudding. She is incredibly responsive and sends multiple pictures and videos every day. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“We booked super last minute and Sean was so quick to respond! We are usually super hesitant to leave our little Domo with others, but Sean made me feel like he was in good hands. Thank you so much Sean!! I’ll definitely be reaching out again!”
“Dusty had a great time with Julie, and she was terrific. Warm and caring, really great communication throughout Dusty’s stay, which is always much appreciated. Flexible and understanding on a traffic delay I had coming to get her. Would definitely have Dusty stay again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for quality care for your pup!”
“Xiuping is an amazing and responsive dog sitter! She sent me lots of pictures and messages throughout the stay, showing how well my dog was being taken care of. This definitely set my mind at ease, knowing and seeing that my dog was having a great time with her family. Dog care instructions were followed very well and she was able to accommodate my last minute requests. I will absolutely be recommending Xiuping to my friends and will have her and her family watch my dog again!”
“My dog was so excited to go back to Todd’s for an overnight stay. He had the best time whenever he goes there, gets plenty of walks, lots of attention, and comes home such a happy camper. Todd is a trusted sitter for us and I will continue to book with him whenever I need somewhere for my dog to stay!”
“Danielle is a terrific sitter, always sending pictures of Belle enjoying her stay. This is Belle's third time staying with Danielle and every time she is treated well, walked a ton, and enjoys every minute of her stay! Would highly recommend Danielle for a long board or just a short weekend!”

Arnav took such great care of our dog Andie for a week-long stay. He was a great communicator throughout the experience and kept us updated with photos every day. He and his family live in a beautiful home right along a walking trail, so it was great to know Andie got some excellent walks and was comfortable staying in a cozy home. Highly recommend and hope to have Andie stay over again in future trips.
Yulia cared for our puppy while we traveled. It was his first time away from home. She was very attentive and loving with him. She answered my emails promptly and seemed very tuned into his needs. She very graciously helped with pick and transport to his next caretaker, which was very appreciated. I will definitely have our pup return again.
Katerina and Roland and their boys treated Milo like family during his stay. We were so happy and at ease to receive updates of him going on walks and playing in the backyard. I cannot recommend them enough to take amazing care of your pup! We will definitely be rebooking again if schedules allow.
Daniel is an amazing dog sitter! I would absolutely recommend him without hesitation. He kept me updated with regular messages and photos of Lexi, which gave me so much peace of mind. He’s also very respectful and caring. You can feel completely confident leaving your dog in his care! 😊🐾
We love to travel, so finding a sitter who truly loves having our dog was very important to us. Hope is exactly the person we were looking for! She loves our dog, Louie, and Louie adores her, too. Louie has a delicate digestive system (pancreatic issue) and needs medication with every meal. If he doesn't take his meds properly, he loses weight and gets sick very quickly. In the past, when we left Louie with other sitters, we would come back to find that he had lost weight and had stomach issues. This time with Hope, he was completely healthy and thriving! Also, usually when a dog gets stressed, they chug water as soon as their owners return. Louie didn't do that at all this time—he was super relaxed and actually seemed to miss Hope! We will definitely bring Louie to visit Hope again and look forward to booking her for our next trip. Thank you so much, Hope, we deeply appreciate your wonderful care for Louie!
Ms. King is a very trustworthy and caring sitter! She took care of our senior Boston Terrier for six days and sent us lots of photos every day. Our dog isn’t always super friendly with other dogs, so I was a little worried about how she would do, but her Golden Retrieve, Gabe, was very calm and gentle, and they did great together! We would definitely love to have Ms. King take care of her again!
Aya was an amazing sitter. She communicated with me the whole time and I didnt have to ask for pictures because she already sent them! She was very responsive and understanding. I will be going back. Bluey loved her. Im very grateful she was able to watch her. Thank you Aya!
For Rover: Dave and Jess were exceptionally kind, thoughtful and professional, while caring for our 17 year-old dog, they even sang happy birthday to him when he turned 17! They noticed that he was stressed in missing us, which then turned into a UTI, which they’ve experienced, but we have not, I know in 17 years! So they contacted us and brought him to a 24 er which they had been to before and arranged for us to talk to them on the phone while we were on the other side of the country traveling. It all worked out great. We then picked up our beloved dog, Ferris and brought him home and he was no longer stressed, but still on the meds that Dave and Jess had started giving him. We cannot say enough, good things about their care and would definitely use them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lexington is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $81 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,141 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Lexington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lexington 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 Lexington.
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 Lexington 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.
