“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!”
“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.”
“Victoria is AMAZING!☺️ by far the best Rover sitter we have used and we will definitely be booking her again and again! She watched our 2 dachshunds (one is 5 years old and the other is a 10 month old puppy) and she did such an amazing job with both of them. She is super bubbly, personal, and loving to the dogs she takes care of. She took our dogs to the dog park every day and sent us tons of picture updates. I felt very safe, comfortable and informed the entire time she watched them. We also had some last minute drop off and pick up time changes and Victoria was super accommodating and nice about it. 10/10 would recommend her. Thank you Victoria ???”
“Chanel is awesome- a true dog lover. She was super communicative leading up to and during Oliver’s stay. Oliver can be a bit of a handful at times and she assured us that he was behaving. We will definitely book with Chanel again! Thank you so much!”
“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”
“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!”
“Zwany and Leandro were conscientious and kind with Serena and Bobby; they sent daily pics and/or videos which helped with my missing my pups while away, and my friends enjoyed them, too! I loved receiving the puppy report card of their stay—a personal touch from a professional duo.”
“Zelun took fantastic care of our dog for over a week during Thanksgiving! Our dog usually takes a few days to perk up and get used to her new situation, but she settled in after the first night! Zelun sent daily pictures and videos from walks and afternoon sun naps, and our dog looked sooooo happy in every picture. Would 10/10 recommend.”
“Geraldine and her family were lovely. I felt totally safe leaving my dog with them over Christmas break. They sent photos of Monza snuggling in blankets and looking generally comfortable. They were super accommodating when I picked up my dog a day early. They were actually really sad to see him go. I would totally use Geraldine again.”
“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.”
“Patrick did an outstanding job taking care of my dog, Grace Warrior. Grace is a 94 lbs bundle of energy, and Patrick managed her needs perfectly. He was professional, attentive, and clearly experienced with handling large dogs. Grace came back happy and well-cared for, and I could tell she enjoyed her time with him. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and capable pet sitter. Thank you, Patrick, for your excellent care!”
“Lori was an absolute delight! She sent us adorable pictures of our pup every night, capturing his joy during their walks and his playful antics around the house. When we finally picked him up, he couldn’t resist running back to her to bid her farewell, even amidst his excitement to reunite with his family. This heartwarming sight reaffirmed the strong bond he had formed with her while we were away. We highly recommend Lori and are already planning to use her services again. Finding Lori has made us feel much more at ease about going away, knowing that our pup will be in good hands and thoroughly enjoying himself.”
“John took great care of my high energy pup! His communication was excellent throughout the process and he too my dog on long walks. Looking forward to booking with John again soon!”
“We left our 1.5-year-old Sheltie with Betsy for a long weekend and she was fantastic! Betsy responded quickly to questions, took our notes/suggestions into account during the visit, and sent us updates/pictures throughout the visit. Our dog came home happy, sleepy, and of course healthy!”
“Ellis had a short stay with Emily and Daniel but will definitely be back! They sent great pics and updates and were flexible when our plans shifted slightly. Their dog seemed super sweet too and it looks like the pups got along well!”
“Linda was fantastic! She communicated at least twice daily with pictures and responded promptly to any message I sent her. Rosie was well taken care of and pampered just like she is at home.”
“Haowen took excellent care of Bandit. He sent frequent updates and when Bandit was reluctant to eat went out to get peanut butter to mix into his food. He also went to get a ball so Bandit could do his favorite activity of playing fetch. When it was time to get Bandit he was excited to see his mom and dad but then went back to Haowen to say goodbye, which is Bandit's way of saying thank you. Bandit gives a 5 PAWS rating and hopes he can visit again soon”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
Sunny was amazing with Roxie. She is elderly and he was ready to take on the challenge that comes with caring for an older dog. Sunny’s communication throughout Roxie’s stay was excellent. He sent a ton of pictures so we could see how she was doing and reached out when he had questions or concerns. My daughter loved getting pictures throughout the day and it helped her miss Roxie a little less.
Mallory has just been a perfect sitter for our sometimes needy and anxious pup. She is very communicative and professional. We even goofed on pick up time and forgot food/water bowls once, and Mallory was gracious and accommodating. She takes great care of our pup so much so we don’t worry a bit while away, even when gone for a long weekend. Easy 5 stars!
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our dog, Berlin. Patrick met with us beforehand so we could see exactly where Berlin would be staying, which immediately put us at ease. During the stay, he sent frequent updates with photos and videos — it was so clear that Berlin was having a vacation of his own! We could travel without any worry knowing he was in such good hands. I'd highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again!
My pup Rocco has stayed with Linda multiple times since I got him a year and a half ago. He can take a day or so to settle and she is so patient and caring with him. She goes above and beyond to make sure he feels at home and by the time I pick him up, he doesn’t want to leave! I am so thankful for Linda and all she does for my little anxious guy!
Rob was wonderful with my Chihuahua mix Pato. The best way I can describe how comfortable and cared for Pato felt with Rob and his family is this: when I came to pick him up, Pato went over to Rob to say goodbye before we left. That told me everything I needed to know. He clearly formed a bond with Rob and felt at home there. I'm very grateful for the care he received over the two weeks he was there. And I got a great variety of photos too :}
Patti is an absolute gem! She took amazing care of our pup - from taking him on hikes, to giving him shredded chicken to make sure he was eating enough, to letting him curl up in bed next to her, we know he had an amazing time while we were away. We will certainly use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Malden on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,971 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.
