“Arnav was a great sitter for Snoopy. Snoopy loved staying with Arnav and his family. They even took Snoopy to Starbucks to get him a pup cup. Arnav sent me pictures of Snoopy every day while I was away, and I could tell from the pictures that Snoopy was super happy at Arnav's house. If I decide to leave Snoopy in someone's care again, I won't hesitate to contact Arnav.”
“Michiko and Cliff are really great, very responsive and you can tell immediately that they love dogs and have a lot of experience taking in four legged guests. From the meet and greet we felt comfortable having Bella stay with them and Bella seemed calm and happy to explore the house. During the stay, we received daily updates and pictures and of Bella enjoying the stay, making our time away from Bella relaxing knowing she is in good hands.”
“Our 7 year old dog Blaze did very well with his first stay away from home with Paul M. Blaze was calm during drop off and at pick up. He was calm meeting Paul M. Paul sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. All communication before and during the booking was very timely. Paul reported keeping feeding and walking schedules as requested. Blaze was on track with everything up on return home. Thank you so much Paul M.”
“When we picked up our pup, you could tell her really enjoyed his time with Yulia and her family. He was happy to see us, but I'm pretty sure he would have been equally happy to stay with them. We will certainly be using Yulia's services again in the future.”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Michelle is a great dog sitter who takes the dogs for a lot of walks. Her two dogs Bear and Moose get along with Oliver and they like to play. She has a large fenced yard and loves dogs.”
“Francois is exceedingly kind and good about checking in and letting me know how Sadie’s doing, always with a sweet photo. I know she is in highly competent and caring hands.”
“Guillermo was awesome. He was flexible with our drop off and pick up times, sent us plenty of updates and our pup came home exhausted from his stay (the best possible outcome!). I would totally book with him again.”
“Renee is great! Our dog loves her so much I am jealous. On the practical side, Renee kept us updated daily about our dog's activities and mood. She was 100% reliable, and that is really what you want when you are out of the country and leaving your pet with someone!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Yi for Allie. She provided me regular updates and made sure she felt comfortable and happy while I was away. Allie was well taken care of, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable sitter.”
“My nine month old puppy is a very social, high play drive dog, so it was a huge plus for me that Mike's retriever Blue was friendly, up for play, and nice to a pesky little puppy. Mike's communication was great, he definitely understood my 'leaving the puppy for the first time' jitters, and sent multiple photo updates.”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“Ashley and family made my pup welcome in their home. Her two dogs were so chill and made space for my guy, who was easily 10 times their weight. I appreciated Ashley’s flexibility with scheduling and her easygoing approach.”

Jingjing was very thoughtful and attentive when our dog Flo was staying with her. Flo was very happy to be there, and eating very fast, and Jingjing sent us many updates about this! We found a good solution together! Jingjing also sent us many great photos of Flo and her new friends!
Arnav did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs! This was about the third time in his care over the last year or so. He is very responsive to drop off and pick up communications and sent daily pictures of our girls who looked very comfortable and happy. One of our dogs is a senior dog so we were glad he took especially good care of her. We will definitely be asking him to watch our dogs again the next time we have the opportunity!
Kimm and Kenn are most wonderful people and so fantastically good with dogs. We felt totally at ease leaving our dog Owen with them when we left for vacation. They took Owen for multiple daily long walks and share photos with us; Owen always looked so happy. Leaving our dog with Kimm and Kenn made our vacation so much better, because we know that Owen was being well taken care of and having a good time. In the words of my two teenage kids, "it is as if Owen went on vacation as well."
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.
Anne was absolutely wonderful with Toto! She took amazing care of her and kept me updated with photos and videos throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s very caring and attentive and Toto was so happy and relaxed with her! I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lexington on Rover is $66.6 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 4,053 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 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 Lexington 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 Lexington 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 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.
