“Vanessa boarded Syx for 6 days while we were out of the country and they were amazing through out this time. Syx is super anxious and clingy and they did a great job managing this. They provided daily updates in the morning and afternoon, with photos. They made us feel super comfortable and accommodated. They now have repeat customers and I would recommend them to anyone with an pup or cat who needs attentive care.”
“We cannot recommend Amy enough. We found ourselves in the unfortunate position of our usual boarder being unavailable when we went on vacation so we had to find someone else in a short period of time. Although we were nervous leaving her with someone who's never watched her before, we were able to meet up once before our trip and we immediately felt comfortable with Amy. She was very communacative and gave Luna all the walks and attention she could dream of. We will definitely use Amy again!”
“Kathy was so accommodating and responsive! And she sent pictures of Frankie all day long to keep us posted. It was Frankie’s first experience in a house with cats so we were a bit worried, but everything worked out great and all the animals lived in harmony. We will definitely book again!”
“We had a great experience with Elizabeth and Rodrigo! There was daily communication as well as photo updates — our dog looked right at home! We had total peace of mind while we were away. Murphy already can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!”
“Chanel was responsive and responsible and seemed to really enjoy having our pup. She’s very sweet and sends updates and pictures everyday. Our pup seemed to really enjoy her stay and we’d book Chanel again!”
“Ashley and her family were lovely and warm and we felt immediately comfortable leaving our dog. He got along well with their dog and I could tell he was also very comfortable in their home. My pup is a high energy dog, not for everyone, but I really appreciated how Ashley seemed to like him for who it is and enjoyed the crazy parts of his personality! He came back to us in perfect health and happiness. So lucky to find her and we’ll definitely be bringing our dog back - if we can get on her calendar!”
“Yesika did an amazing job caring for my older dog, Mia. She handled Mia’s special needs—medication, feedings, and separation anxiety—with care and professionalism. I loved the regular updates and photos. It’s clear she truly loves animals. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“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”
“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”
“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!”
“Xiuping and her family took care of my dog over the weekend for me- it was such a pleasure! My dog had a great time and the communication was so smooth and pleasant. I will book again!”
About: Veterinary technician working in a vet clinic, almost 4 years in the field. Lifelong animal lover and caregiver. Looking for part time gigs that include more fluffy friends! I’m currently working 3 days a week at the vet clinic (shifts change week to week). Looking to fill up my other days with pet care to keep me active and surrounded by fluffy creatures. I update my availability calendar as my clinic schedule comes out. I live in a two family house (family owned). We have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run around and go potty if they’d like to. I have one cat, who gets along well with dogs (honestly, he just ignores them). If necessary to keep your dog more comfortable, they can be kept separated.
“Chi took absolutely amazing care of my fur baby. She took him on walks, to the dog park and played with him in her home. Winston is still a puppy so he has a lot of energy. Chi kept him entertained by playing with him and throwing his favorite toy around so he could fetch it. If you need an awesome, attentive caregiver Chi is your person.”
“Rachel took care of Theo for two consecutive weekends when I needed a sitter. She was responsive and pick up/drop off was very easy. Her neighborhood seems good for dogs, with a park very close by. Thank you Rachel!”
“Maryah did a great job taking care of Alfie. She was quick to respond to my messages and provided me updates on Alfie. When I went to pick up Alfie, I could see he was very well taken care of. Thank you, Maryah!”

McKenzie was a lifesaver, offering to take my dog at the last minute the day before after I had a last minute cancellation with another sitter! She did a great job taking care of him and sent adorable pictures of my dog with hers! He came back home so happy! Thank you so much again!!!
Mallory is so awesome to work with. She provides frequent and detailed updates with pictures of her adventures with Guinness. Guinness had to take medication while in Mallory’s care, and she had no issues taking on this extra responsibility at the last minute. She sent Guinness home with detailed time stamps of when he received his medicine. Mallory goes above and beyond every time. I am confident Guinness is in the best care whenever he stays with Mallory, and he even cries when it’s time to go home.
Haowen and Yi were wonderful again with Lil’ Dan! He clearly was well taken care of and having the best time with them. He especially loved the dog park at their building and endless time to play and explore. This was Dan’s second time with them and we felt great knowing he was safe and loved. We loved all the photos and communication. We are so grateful and would definitely book again!!
Monica was an amazing dog sitter! She sent lots of updates and pictures so I could see how well my little anxious dog was doing with them from the very first day through the entire eight day stay for my senior schnauzer poodle with terrible separation anxiety. She was the perfect dog sitter for my pup, she kept her entertained and busy so she didn't even cry when I left her there! I got to actually enjoy my vacation, and do things I've been looking forward to without my dog, all while knowing my little love was in the best hands. My review for Monica would have to highlight her reliability, the warmth in her home she provided for my dog, and her professionalism. I will absolutely be using Monica for my dog sitting needs in the future.
My dog Bear had a great time staying here! He’s leash reactive and Richard and Julia did a great job of making sure he kept his distance from other dogs during his stay, which I really appreciated. They sent lots of photos & updates which was much appreciated! Bear loved them and would definitely stay there again
Lisette is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of my dog, Chewy, and I always have complete peace of mind when he’s with her. She sends regular updates and pictures, which I really appreciate, and Chewy is always so excited to see her and stay at her house. It’s obvious how much she cares about the dogs she watches. She’s also incredibly reliable and is almost always available and willing to accommodate our schedule. I couldn’t recommend Lisette more highly to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable dog sitter!
Fantastic boarding for our 3 year old border collie beans, Monali was proactive and constantly sent updates and photos, ensured to take her out for long walks and for play dates at the fells. Would totally recommend her and will be going back to Monali for any future dog sitting needs :)
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.

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.

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.

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.
