“When I first reached out to Nicole, I learned quickly that she responds to messages almost immediately! The many photo updates of our dog settling in at her house started showing up almost as soon as we'd left him there! She was so patient with his nervousness and her updates and communications assured me he was in good hands. It was clear our dog was welcomed into their home (he slept on the bed!) and it was a comfort knowing someone was home with him most of the time. I'd happily have Nicole care for my dog again!”

“Krystal is great! We brought our mini cockapoo, Nella, over for a sleepover. Krystal sent us photos throughout the day and gave us notes about specific things she noticed. Nella can be a shy little pup, but Krystal’s dog Soju is a sweetheart and very gentle. Would definitely book again!”

“Pepper stayed with Laura for 3 nights while we went away. We felt at ease leaving her, knowing she would be well taken care of. We were not wrong. When we went to pick her up I could tell she had made a new friend and was comfortable with Laura. I am so thankful we picked Laura to take care of Pepper.❤️”

“Sam and her family took excellent care of my two dogs! Communication was top-notch, and I loved to see how happy and well cared for they were. They came home content and tired, which is the best review of all. It’s clear they had a great time in your beautiful spot in the forest. Thank you so much, Sam! 🤩”

About: My family has always had dogs, and I feel that they enhance the family unit. No discrimination against certain breeds. German Shepherd, Rottweiler, American Staffordshire, Boxer, makes no difference to me. I adore all the four-legged kids! I have my own four-legged kid, and truly appreciate the help I’ve received through Rover.com, while being at work or out of town. It’s such a relief to know that the he is taken care of, so I can continue working to provide for him. Updating you on the visit with pictures and/or videos, so you can see your four-legged kid(s) have been cared for, would be my pleasure. Dogs are family, and I would gladly treat yours as part of my pack. I would be happy to perform drop-in visits or walk your dog(s) during the day, or into the night hours, as my schedule allows. Currently, I am unavailable for midday drop-ins and walks Mondays through Thursdays. Updating you on the visit with pictures and/or videos, so you can see your four-legged kid(s) have been cared for, would be my pleasure. I happily treat your fur kids as lovingly as my own. Always checking that food and water bowls filled as needed. Utilizing the crate should they need it upon my leaving.

“Christine was absolutely wonderful with Bean! Bean is a very shy and anxious pup and I've never left her with a stranger before. Christine made sure to have a few meet and greets to ease Bean's anxiety and get to know her prior to my weekend away. She has wonderful calming energy and was very patient and caring with Bean. I was completely comfortable leaving Bean in Christine and Lilly's hands. While away, I got regular photos and updates. Overall it was a great experience with Christine and I would highly recommend her!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Marlboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 96 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Marlboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

98% of sitters in Marlboro 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 Marlboro 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 Marlboro.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marlboro. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Marlboro 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 VT 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
