“Victoria has been beyond amazing with my cat, Mars! She is incredibly responsive which makes me feel at ease while I’m travelling. She sends pictures everyday and I can tell that she has made Mars feel at home. Her experience with animals is evident in the way she takes care of him. Would definitely recommend her!!”
“Miley stayed with Aurora for 4 nights while I was away on a vacation. Her pup Madi and Miley became BFF’s. She sent regular updates and she was very prompt and quick responding to my texts. Miley is my daughter and I’m very nervous leaving her at someone’s place. But Aurora did a a great job taking care of Miley and treated her like her own pup. I would definitely like Miley to have her next vacation at her place. Adding to this their pup Madi is a wonderful dog very friendly.”
“Russell had a marvelous time with Zwany and Leandro. They were very communicative and provided a loving home for our pup while we were away. We will be repeat customers for sure!”
“Liz & Rodrigo are incredible people, with an incredible family full of love to give! We were a bit nervous having someone board our newly adopted rescue Beagle, but they did an amazing job! They sent so many updates and photos while I was gone, I never once had to worry how they were doing! They were both accommodating of both our pup’s needs and I can tell our pups would love to go back whenever we need a sitter!”
“Patrick was great with Willow, it was obvious from pictures and videos that she loved him and was well taken care of! We would happily book with him again and feel confident she’d be in good hands.”
“Chanel was very responsive and sent lots of photos throughout the weekend. Making sure I knew the dogs were happy! The dogs came back so happy from our trip and that was so great to see!”
“Guillermo is fantastic. He was attentive to our old pup and wonderfully responsive to us. He is kind and calm, and it was clear our dog felt so comfortable and content. Our dog had an upset stomach and Guillermo was gracious and amazing at taking the extra steps to give him canned food and medicine. He sent great updates and pictures, I wish I had found him sooner and look forward to having him care for our dog again.”
“Is it possible to leave TEN STARS?! ⭐️ Linda is AWESOME! My pup was right at home the minute we did our meet and greet! Linda is a true dog lover and she is so warm, so kind and just a joy to be around. My fur baby was in such good hands with her. I am so happy and grateful for her help and we both can’t wait to see her again. THANK YOU, Linda!!!!! 🐾⭐️”
“Haowen and his girlfriend were wonderful Rovers! I found Haowen after my previously-booked Rover cancelled last minute. Because of the last minute booking, I was very nervous, but Haowen was very attentive and asked a lot of questions up front to understand my dog’s needs and how best to accommodate her. During her stay, I received multiple pictures per day showing her having a wonderful time with Haowen.”
“John was a really wonderful host for our Cosette! I was particularly impressed with his attention to detail and proactive daily communications. Cosette is a senior dog and he was extra mindful of her wellbeing and capabilities. Thank you, John!”
“Akhil was a fantastic caretaker for my dog, Sparkles. I received constant updates and pictures of him. He received plenty of attention and opportunities for walks and lounging around. Their dog was very friendly and was welcoming to mine.”
“Maryah was amazing! She kept me up to date and sent pictures daily. My boys looked like they had so much fun with her. She was also very flexible with my schedule when my flight was cancelled.”
“Marie was great with Jerry while I was away for five days. She was super friendly and communicative, and I felt relaxed knowing Jerry was in good hands. She sent pictures throughout the stay (including one of her husband taking Jerry on a run — which I didn’t even know Jerry could do!). Pickup and dropoff were easy, and everything went smoothly. I really liked Marie and her family and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Rachel and her husband where the best parents to my pup he was so happy! He had a playmate, plenty of outdoor time, and lots of love!!! He was happy to see me but hated saying goodbye. Wined a bit on the way home so I could tell he had a second family! I appreciate you all!”
“Natali was able to take Chunk for a last minute visit and she could not have been more wonderful! Chunk had a great weekend with her and she was flexible, attentive, and took such great care of him.”

Antonio was very nice and responsive. We didn't like leaving our dog at an institution where she seemed to be lonely and uncomfortable at night, we thought she would be more comfortable in a home. While we didn't have a video feed to check on her whenever we wanted to, butwe got personalized pictures and could tell she was happy and getting customized care with Antonio. He followed our instructions, and kept her comfortable in a home environment where she had park access whenever she needed to go outside and he gave her 1:1 attention unlike some other caretakers.
Parashar B. and his wife are the best! They took great care of Rocky for 5 days and sent me tons of updates, videos and photos each and every day! Incredibly easy to work with and great communication! Rocky had an incident during his stay there and they reacted and acted not only professionally but further more as Rocky was part of their family! I totally trust them and I would definitely book Parashar B. again!
I had such a great experience with her! They took wonderful care of my dog for two days and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I picked him up. I really appreciate the love and attention they gave him and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter! 🐶❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Malden 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 3,916 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Malden. 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 Malden 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 Malden 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 Malden 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 Malden.
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 Malden 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.
