“Lyn was so kind to our two little dogs. It was the first time in 8 years that they were with a new sitter. We were moving so our dogs were already apprehensive with packing. Her calm, gentle and super competent demeanor was exactly what we were looking for. Lyn sent photos daily so we could see how our dogs were doing. Highly recommend her!”
“First time leaving my dog with a stranger was a big deal. Antonio was able to get us to relax and feel like our little girl is in good, caring hands! With daily updates, photos, and videos, we really felt like we made the right choice with Antonio. Thank you so much!”
“Hana was very communicative and sent great photos! She was also very flexible with pickup time as our travel plans changed which we really appreciated. She was a great sitter and we’d absolutely use her again :)”
“My dog had a great time at Natasha and Jonathan's house. She's 6 months old and this was her first time going to any sort of doggie day care, and at the end of the day she seemed very happy. Highly recommended.”
“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”
“Monica was wonderful! I highly recommend her! She and her family took such good care of my 16 year old dog, Bella, for the first time. Monica sent pictures and videos throughout Bella’s stay that showed me Bella was happy and taken care of. Bella got so much attention and seemed so at home! Monica is also great communicating with quick responses and attention to detail. Thank you, Monica!”
“Nola and Damian were so great! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little hesitant about leaving Toki with someone new. However, they made us feel super comfortable and clearly took great care of her during our time away.”
“She was amazing with Toby and you could tell she really loves to care for animals. Toby looked so happy in every picture I received and she was so great communicating with me. I will definitely be rebooking!! Toby had a great time she’s so nice!!”
“Dohwee is an excellent dog carer, dog’s best friend and he really spend so much time to care and pay much attention to our dog Churro. Dohwee not only make sure churro is feed on time and follow instructions on her daily care routines but also play with churro a lot. Churro seems so happy and safe when she is with Dohwee. When churro says goodbye Dohwee, I can feel her little sadness… I feel so lucky that i found Dohwee to take care churro when I travel for 2 weeks. Cannot speak enough good words about Dohwee and his wife for helping out”
“Matias takes such good care of our Boston Terrier Milo every time! He clearly has a love for dogs and our dog loves spending time with him! Would highly recommend!”
“Tyler was such a wonderful sitter. He provided timely updates and accommodated my drop-off and pick-up times. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Aspen took great care of our small dog during our 2 week international vacation. She made sure to give us daily updates with photos and was great with communication despite the time difference. Aspen kept on our dogs natural schedule and made sure she had frequent walks and potty breaks. Our dog also enjoyed having the company of Aspen’s dog, Satsu :)”
“Fatima and Eric where incredibly helpful, supportive and constantly sent us pictures and updates throughout the dog sitting days. They also worked around our schedule to make the dropoff and pickup incredibly easy. I would without a doubt book with them again in the future!! There clear history of owning dogs in the past definitely made trusting them with our dog kona much easier as well!”
“Melodi is amazing! 2nd time we leave Ron with her and he could not have had a better time. She does not only take care of him amazingly well but also keeps us updated and sends a ton of pictures, which we appreciate! Melodi is definitely our go-to person whenever we need to leave Ron do to travel or work!”
“Thank you so much, Jinyu, for taking such amazing care of Koda! We could really tell she felt comfortable and happy with you. We truly appreciated all the updates, photos, and the love and attention you gave her during her stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you again for treating Koda like family, we would absolutely love to book with you again in the future 😊”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
We had an excellent experience with Tiffany and Steve! They were an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, attentive, transparent, and incredibly communicative. I was a little nervous leaving my Pumi, Hugo for a two-week stay so it was heartwarming and reassuring to see Hugo enjoying his daily walks, spending time with the other pups, and looking happy and comfortable in their care. Definitely appreciated the daily photo updates and feedback regarding his feeding, which gave such peace of mind. It meant so much knowing my Hugo was in such caring and capable hands. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend Tiffany and Steve to anyone looking for trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring sitters. I will absolutely be booking with them again!
Cannot recommend Arlene & Josiah enough! They were incredibly kind and accommodating with our last-minute request and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. Our girl got lots of walks, exercise, and socialization. She was well cared for, had a great time, and came out the door with a smile on her face! We’d absolutely book with them again.
Isabelle was so great with Sudo. She sent us ongoing updates and was really attentive to all of his quirks. This is the second time she’s watched over Sudo and he wagged his tail when he saw her and gave her a goodbye kiss when he left. We highly recommend Isabelle and would reach out again when we travel!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gucci had such an amazing time with her babysitter! She was absolutely wonderful with him, and he got along so well with her kids. It made me so happy knowing Gucci was in a loving, safe, and fun environment where he was treated like part of the family. She took such great care of him, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I would definitely trust her with Gucci again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! ❤️🐾
This was our first time using River and we hit the jackpot! Elizabeth and Rodrigo and their sweet family are wonderful. So kind and attentive to our dogs. Loved the pictures while our girls were in their care. This was the first time our dogs stayed at someone’s home without us there and they were so calm and relaxed when I picked them up. That speaks volumes to how well they were cared for. We will definitely reach out again in the future.
Rob was great. Was uncertain how my shy-ish new one would do, but Rob arranged a pre-meet that helped ease anxiety on the appointed day. He is clearly a dog guy and relates to them well. Would highly recommend & I intend on availing myself of Rob’s services in the future.
This is the second time we have used Antonio. Antonio and his girlfriend take such incredible care of our Nadira, we get pictures and videos of her. He tells us how she is doing. Antonio is the only person besides family that I would trust to take such good care of Nadira. We will definitely use Antonio again. He is the best!!!
It was my dogs first time without us and Linda made me feel so comfortable about the whole thing. She’s very thorough in making sure he would be safe during his stay with her. We got updated throughout which also made me feel much better being without him. When we picked him up, I don’t think he wanted to leave! She is the perfect sitter for him. I already scheduled his next sleep over. Couldn’t recommend her more.
I have previously had Yu do drop in visits for my cats and recently had her board them. She was amazing! It was my first time boarding my cats and she let me know what to expect for changes in their behavior the first few days and reassured me for all my concerns. One of my cats needed a quick visit to the ER after not eating after a couple of days and Yu was super communicative and included me in all conversations with the vets. While a little scary, I knew my cats were in good hands and I cannot recommend her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Malden is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $140 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 4,076 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Malden. About 90% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
