“Kyra had the best time with Aurora and her sweet pup Madi! I was in Europe for a week and felt so at ease with constant updates and photos while I was away! I can’t recommend Aurora enough and feel confident in using her services again next time I go away!”
“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“This was Luna’s first stay with Lori and I knew she was in great hands. Lori has a great set up with a fenced in yard and lives in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Lori was amazing at communicating, sending lots of pics and updates and making sure I knew Luna was safe and having lots of FUN! Lori took her on lots of adventures and took videos to show me real-time action. Lori also went above and beyond when Luna lost her Fi GPS device and Lori tracked it down by retracing steps and finding it in the woods. I highly recommend Lori and will absolutely be partnering with her again to watch Luna for me!”
“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”
“Elliot and Jo are fantastic with Ghira. We always have such peace of mind whenever we leave her with them as they have a lot of experience with dogs (and ours has some special needs). From the photos we get, it feels like Ghira is also on her own vacation and loves them”
“Guillermo was absolutely amazing with our dog, Lola. He took such great care of her and kept us constantly updated with messages and photos, which really put us at ease while we were away. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Guillermo made the whole experience completely stress free. We could tell Lola was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. We’re so grateful for his attentiveness and kindness, and we would 100% trust him with Lola again. Highly recommend!”
“Zwany is amazing as always. She's responsive, caring, and always puts your dog's best interest first. I have booked with her three times now and I wouldn't want to book with anyone else!”
“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.”
“Rob was great with Boeing! Bo got great walks and puppy play time, and had fun playing with Rob’s kids. Rob was very attentive, sent pictures every day, and was very understanding when our return flight and Boeing’s pickup was delayed. Thanks so much Rob!”
“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.”
“Geraldine was very easy to work with, I can tell that my dog really enjoyed his time with them and he was really cared for, which I truly appreciate. The only feedback is that I wish she would give more proactive updates, but I would definitely let her watch my dog again.”
“Could not recommend Steven enough!! Sooty was well looked after during the Christmas period and she had a great time playing with Milo! Would definitely use again! Thanks again!”
“Grace & Andrew were fantastic. They were super responsive and accommodating for my last second boarding request, and they’re SO sweet! They took Great care of Chance and I would absolutely use them again.”
“Greta was very kind, patient, communicative and accommodating! Lots of updates and pics throughout my dogs stay. Plenty of walks and park time. He seemed genuinely happy to be there!”
“Yesika was absolutely fantastic with Roxie. She was super accommodating with a last minute booking and made sure we felt good about leaving Roxie with her for such a long time. We got pictures at the end of every day and Roxie always looked happy and comfortable with the other dogs. Will definitely send Roxie back to Yesika.”
“Todd came to our rescue for a last minute request for an overnight. Henry is 15 and while he sleeps a lot he needs a little more help than a younger dog. Todd was gracious and caring of Henry. He’s a great communicator and very easy to work with!”
“Once again, Marie saved the day with her flexibility when our plans got delayed! She's the best! Zelda was so excited to spend time with her friend again, and came home happy and tired ☺️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
Overall, Mengzhou was an excellent dog sitter and we'd happily use again. During Rory's stay he managed to access some hard-to-reach treats and ate an entire bag; Mengzhou, cared for Rory as he worked through the inevitable diarrhea and provided regular health updates. She was very easy to work with and took good care of our dog.
This was our first time using Rover, and Martha was fantastic! Bailey seemed to have a great time during his stay, and we loved receiving daily photos and videos of him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, well cared for, and in such good hands while we were out of town. We would absolutely book with Martha again!
This was my dog's first time staying with Mengzhen and I was definitely a little nervous since he gets anxious. They were incredibly friendly and kept me updated throughout his stay with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. She reassured me that he was doing okay and made me feel confident he was in great hands. It's clear they genuinely cared for him and took excellent care of him. I would absolutely trust them to watch my dog again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
They are the best! My dog is absolutely spoiled when he stays with Arlene and Josiah. They took him on all sorts of adventures around town (after checking that I was ok with it), and shared lots of great photos the whole time. Moose is not a particularly dificult dog but I would feel comfortable using them if my dog had special needs or other special instructions. Highly recommend them!
We had a great experience leaving our dog with Séamus! We could tell that Hank was well cared for and happy the whole time. Communication was easy and they were also very flexible when our flight got cancelled and required our dog to stay another night. Can’t recommend them enough!!
Geraldine and her family took wonderful care of Izzy during our three-week vacation. They followed all our requests, responded instantly, and sent regular updates and photos. Izzy always looked relaxed and happy — whether lounging on the couch or out on walks — and came home in great spirits, settling right back into her routine.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Malden on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,985 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.
91% 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.
