“Michelle & Michael are the ultimate pet sitters for my young dog, Ruby. She clearly receives an abundance of care, love and attention, as her sweet, expressive & energetic personality is in full effect, which only comes out when she is completely comfortable with people. I feel very lucky to have found them, and they are first on my list! Thank you, Michelle & Mike! :)”
“Julia took great care of my cat while we were suddenly away for a few days. It’s great to find someone so reliable on such short notice. Would use again and recommend to others!”
“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.”
“I left my 14 yo dachshund with Victoria for the first time and I couldn’t have been more pleased. She was very professional. She was engaged when going over his medications and daily routines. She sent great updates with photos, and I could tell my boy was doing so well with her. With my dog having a few more needs these days it feels so good to know there’s a dog sitter I can trust to look after him when I need to be away. I am so grateful to have found Victoria and I think Rocky is too!”
“Steven was fantastic with Guinness! My pup had a blast there. Steven cared about him like his own dog. Very responsive and knowledgeable about dogs! I will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Séamus took wonderful care of Maybelle during our extended time away! He was very friendly and responsive and sent daily updates, photos and videos. I could tell that Maybelle was being treated very well - like part of the family. It set my mind at ease. She also got along well with Séamus' dog. We would definitely love to book with Séamus again in the future!”
About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience working with anxious pets, ensuring they feel safe and at ease. I use positive reinforcement techniques and tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be in loving, attentive hands! I have completed the Red Cross Pet First Aid course in order to be prepared for any events that may occur. I work a flexible, remote job so I am available to tend to your babies as needed! My daily schedule starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m., but I'm flexible to your needs! I have a large, private porch with plenty of potty spots for your baby, as well as a park within a 5 minute walk if that is what your pet needs. My dog, Juniper, will be a great companion for yours!
“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.”
“We use Tiffany and Steve consistently for dog sitting and dog walking because they’re the best! Great cadencie our pup and lot of updates with pictures through the stay. We know our dog is being taken care of!”
“Yang was so great with our dog! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. She was also so wonderful to us, our flight was canceled and rescheduled for 2 days later. Luckily we were able to get out the following night but Yang was so accommodating and kind while we were in a state of worry. Lucky will be back in a few weeks for a second stay!”
“Ann took wonderful care of Daisy for over a week. From the start, she was warm, kind, and very easy to communicate with. Ann and Jim created a great environment for Daisy, and we always felt she was in good hands. Ann made sure Daisy got plenty of time outside, including long walks and lots of opportunities to explore. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure Daisy was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Ann to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”
“Our dog Eevee had such a good time staying here and playing with Igo. Wonderful to get updates on how she was doing and to see that she had a great time and lots of fresh air in the fenced backyard! Thank you for following her feeding schedule, for grooming her and brushing her teeth and taking such good care of our girl 🤗”
“Alex is wonderful with my elderly dog, Zoe. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that he's taking great care of her and she's so happy on her own vacation with him. Thank you, Alex!”
“It was such a relief booking with with her. She was able to take my dog last minute and catered to both of their personalities. She went above and beyond what I need her to do and definitely exceeded all my expectations. To the point, my dogs didn’t even wanna leave her. She accommodated them in every way for sure. Kept me updated with pictures and made the pick up and drop off very smooth. I can’t wait to book with her again. And I’m sure they would love to see her again as well.”
“Amy is fantastic!! This is our husband and I’s first experience with Rover and we will easily book with her again. She was easy to communicate with. Sent us updates with photos and videos and treated Pino like her own. She took him to many walks and let him play in their yard with her pup Bumi. Bonus that they’re close to the beach (perfect for an impromptu dog photoshoot). Thanks so much Amy!!!”
“Jackie is simply the best! She was able to help us with urgent dog care due to a family situation and was extremely responsive throughout the day so we knew our pup was doing just fine. Her dog is extremely friendly with other dogs and humans too!”

Shriya was absolutely amazing. She watched my cat, Milo, for a week. She sent so many photos/videos and played with him everyday. Her and her husband were absolutely wonderful. When my flight home unexpectedly got cancelled, she was able to watch him an extra day. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will be using her again in the future.
Amazing experience highly recommend He took such great care of Kaya and Bonny and made me feel very comfortable the whole time. He always sent me pictures and updates of them eating going potty and even playing. He kept me updated about everything and was very caring patient and attentive. You can tell he really loves dogs and treats them like his own. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and responsible
Yesika was wonderful with our 7 year old Havanese mix. We were visiting Boston from Virginia and needed care for three days, and she responded right away. Our dog felt comfortable in her home with the other small dogs, and she sent photos every day showing him relaxed and happy. He doesn’t like being alone, so the busy, friendly environment was perfect for him. He came back to us healthy, calm, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend Yesika.
Our dog Waffle came back very happy after his stay with Ashlee! She responded promptly after a pretty short-notice dogsitting request, quickly arranged a meet & great, and was courteous & professional as she asked questions about his care. After our meet & greet, I felt very at ease & confident that Waffle would be in good hands. She was even able to do pick-up and drop-off, which really helped. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Ashlee!
Martha is truly the best! She has taken care of our two dogs, Mateo and Camilo, multiple times, and every experience has been exceptional. From the moment we drop them off, we know they’re in loving, capable hands. Martha is incredibly attentive, takes the time to ask thoughtful questions about their routines and diet, and genuinely cares about making them feel comfortable and happy. Throughout their stay, she keeps us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. The biggest sign of how much they love her is that they’re always sad to leave her house! That says everything about the love and care she gives them. I can’t recommend Martha highly enough. In fact, I would gladly drive any distance just so she can care for my babies whenever we travel. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Martha is the one.
Jennifer is phenomenal!! I got so many adorable pupdates throughout the day, from how our pup was feeling, to photos of him smelling some pretty flowers (really!! it was the cutest!), to videos of him playing fetch. I love seeing that he’s having a great time, and it’s absolutely a doggie vacation when he’s at Jennifer’s. Highly highly recommend!
Tiffany and Steve were a pleasure to work with and took great care of our dog. They communicated well, walked our dog multiple times a day, and asked every question you could to take the best care possible. They were timely, transparent, and our dog seemed happy and himself upon his return!
Five stars! We were nervous leaving our senior pup over the Fourth of July weekend, but Sudarnah made it so easy. She kept us updated with photos and texts the whole time, was patient with her, and clearly went out of her way to keep her calm and comfortable on walks. Mia came home relaxed and happy. Highly recommend if you need someone trustworthy and attentive. We’ll definitely be booking again!
Mallory was a perfect sitter for our sweet, anxious Murphy. Mallory was very prompt and accommodating at drop off and pick up, and she checked in with us 2x/day while away, just as she said. Murphy seemed to settle in really well, which for a first time with a new sitter is impressive. Highly recommend.
Michael and his family were great! He provided updates all throughout the day. He really got to truly understand Ziggy, his needs, his quirks in such a short amount of time. He also followed his schedule to a tee! I felt super comfortable with him watching Ziggy and would definitely recommend.
John is an incredible dog sitter. Ahead of Luisa's stay, he asked us all the right questions - can she go up/down the stairs, what is the best way to pick her up, etc. That alone was so reassuring to us given that our dog is a senior and dachshunds are prone to back issues. We received frequent updates and photos throughout the week, so we were never left wondering how she was doing. We could tell by the photos that within a day or so she was completely comfortable and up to her usual antics. Having to find a sitter is one of the harder parts of traveling and I am so relieved to have found John. He is intentional about meeting your dog precisely where they are at and takes every step possible to ensure their safety and comfort. We'll be sure to book him again the next time we are out of town.
Liz and Rodrigo, and their kids, were great with our dog Draven! He had such a good time with them in their home, and they were very accommodating of drop off and pick up times. They even found fun ways to keep him cool during the heat wave and sent cute photo check ins. I’ve already rebooked them for my next trip. Would highly recommend!
We had a great experience with Angella! She sent regular photo updates and our pups seemed happy and comfortable during their stay. When we picked them up she had even washed all of the bowls and items we had sent with them, and sent us home with extra treats which was such a nice surprise! Thank you so much, Angella!
Fernanda was awesome!! She accommodated our last minute booking and took great care of our dog Tamsin. Even though Tamsin can be pretty anxious, from the videos and pictures Fernanda regularly sent us it was clear that Tamsin was comfortable under Fernanda’s care. Would definitely recommend.
Symonne was fantastic! She was reliable, communicative, and took excellent care of my cat while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My cat was happy, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her services! -AC

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Malden on Rover is $65.25 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,104 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Malden. About 91% of Malden sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
