“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Arnav sent us daily photos and updates, and our dog came home happy, tired, and well-cared for. We would definitely book again!”
“This hasn’t been the first time Paul has watched our pup. Every time, we know our dog is in good hands - Paul goes above and beyond and is a great communicator. This time around we got stuck and delayed coming back from our trip because of the blizzard, and Paul was incredibly kind, understanding, and flexible in working with us to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away.”
“Katerina and Roland were wonderful with our Rosie! They gave her lots of exercise and attention, and managed her initial separation anxiety well (as I could see her settling in quickly in the many pictures and videos they shared!). We would definitely use them again if schedules allow.”
“Francois took care of our senior dog recently we would highly recommend him . He communicated with us every day with text & pictures. Our dog being on the elderly side is very set in his ways & Francois took all his special needs into account. We returned home to a happy and relaxed dog.”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“This was Bonnie's second long-term boarding (one week). Kimm and Ken are first-rate. Bonnie gets plenty of runs and attention. I received daily photos and videos. Bonnie came home in good health and spirits.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ahmed and his family while we were away on vacation for 10 days. They took such great care of our dog, Gracie, and truly treated her like part of their own family. Ahmed was fantastic with communication throughout our trip and regularly shared pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and well cared for Gracie was. It was clear that she was getting lots of love, attention, and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Ahmed and his family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative dog sitter. We would absolutely love to have Gracie stay with them again!”

About: Back home in Turkey, I have the sweetest little poodle who I absolutely adore! Being away from him has made me miss spending time with dogs even more. I genuinely love dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I treat every pup like my own. I would love to give your furry friend lots of love, attention, walks, and cuddles while you’re away! I’m currently a student at Tufts University, and my schedule gives me flexibility to spend time with your furry friends! I love going on walks and spending time with dogs, so pet sitting fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to work around my class schedule to make sure your pup gets plenty of love and attention! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else. Having my own dog back home, I understand how much they mean to us! I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I’ll follow their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated while you’re away
“Joe was fantastic with our two dogs while we were out of the country. He was always in communication with us, sent pictures, and we could tell our dogs were well cared for upon pick up. We highly recommend Joe and will use him again when we need help with the pups!”
“Penny is one lucky pup to spend a weekend with Liz! She gets daily walks and walks and even a trip to the local pond. She is happy and exhausted when we pick her up. Liz provides wonderful care for our Penny!”
“I highly recommend Max if you're looking for someone reliable to watch your pets. He is accommodating, flexible, responsive, nice and easy to work with! He's watched my dog several times in the last few months and I would definitely rebook any future stays with Max. He also watched my cats this past trip and I definitely would give him more than 5 stars if I could!”
“Linda was super nice with Aloe. She kept us up to date with how she was doing. We know Aloe sometimes can be too much, but we were impressed how Linda was able to become her friend in such a short time. Aloe was in great hands I would strongly recommend Linda and will don't think twice in asking her again to take care of our little one. 10/10”

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 $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $94 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.

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, 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 , 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 .
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.
