“My Pugs had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving! They were given a special Thanksgiving dinner which I am sure they went crazy over. I received updates and pictures daily and I would definitely use them again.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, and Gienna was an absolute gem. The love and attention were beyond our expectations. You can tell she not only loves dogs but really understands their personalities and quirks. We highly recommend her!”
“We were so lucky to have Paul, Megan and family look after Ramsay for us. They are such a loving and welcoming family, we were able to take Ramsay over for a meet and greet, which was a great introduction! We dropped Ramsay off and knew he would be well looked after and we got lots of photos, videos and updates while we were away. It was clear when we picked Ramsay up that he was so comfortable and happy with his stay too! We couldn’t recommend their care more and I think Ramsay will be super excited to stay again in future!”
“BROOKE is Very kind, fun loving, flexible and a true dog lover. Our family was lucky to find her for the weekend. Our dog didn’t want to leave when we arrived to pick her up. She has an adorable puppy who is full of fun energy!”

About: “I stand out for my patience and dedication. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, from puppies that need training to older pets that require special attention. I always prioritize the safety, well-being and happiness of each animal, adapting to their individual needs. I also have experience taking care of the elderly. " "Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I dedicate specific time for walks, feeding, games and supervision, making sure that each pet receives constant attention, exercise and affection, without affecting my other responsibilities." "When I take care of pets in my home, I create a safe, clean and comfortable environment, making sure they have fresh water, food, exercise and daily playtime. At the client's home, I follow all his specific instructions to maintain the pet's routine, respecting his habits and individual needs."
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Man and Zhen! I could tell she was well cared for and loved on through their check ins and photos. I really appreciated their flexibility and communication. We aren't local but if we're ever back in the area would definitely use them again and would recommend!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have had three Shar Pei of my own. Shar Pei can be a challenging breed, and all three of mine experienced health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, including administering medications. I no longer have a dog in my home and have recently been dog sitting for friends and family. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I decided it was time to expand! I truly enjoy having dogs around, taking them for walks and giving them plenty of attention. Your dog will be treated like part of my family, not a guest. I work outside of the home during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely look forward to. When I’m home, your dog will be right there with me as part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your dog can safely spend time outside, and there are currently no other pets living in my home. This allows me to give your dog lots of individual attention and makes my home a comfortable option for dogs who may prefer not to be around other animals. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for dogs with health issues and special needs. I’ll also follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping and medication routine as closely as possible. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“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.”
“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!”
“We’ve used Aurora multiple times for boarding with Hondo and she’s done a great job! Hondo is always excited to go and she’s very responsive and provides lots of updates.”
“AnnMarie was amazing. Her and her family treated Lambo like their own. I appreciated all the updates and photos ?. You know your pet had a good time when they want to stay longer. Lol. Can’t wait for Lambo to visit with AnnMarie again!”
“Rachel was great with our German shepherd/ Australian shepherd mix! She sent pictures multiple times a day with an update on how she was doing and followed any instructions I had given prior to dropping our dog off. She deeply cares for the dogs well being and does anything she can for their best interest! We highly recommend Rachel to watch your fur baby ?”
“Sahana was the best! Kept us updated the entire time and was extremely understanding. She made sure our pup was comfortable and made her feel right at home!! And Cinnamon was a great friend to our little pup as well. Will definitely rebook!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Marblehead is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $72 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Marblehead can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Marblehead home-away-from-home, 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 Marblehead.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Marblehead 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 , 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 .
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.
