“Elaine is tremendous and we are so thankful to have found her, and to have a relationship! She knows dogs well - the breeds and their temperments. Elaine has a wonderful way about her and how she engages with dogs that are subtle, and makes the dog feel so warm and loved. She does understand how to recognize what the needs of new puppies are and how to help them, help themsleves, appropriately. She was thoughtful in how she consistently communicated with us throughout the time that we were away. Elaine is just a lovely human being and our dog Ridley couldn't have been happier to have spent his vacation time with Elaine and her husband!!”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“Aline was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout the entire time. We really appreciated all the photos she sent—they showed how happy and comfortable Coco was. She paid attention to every detail and made sure our baby was safe and happy the whole time. Coco had such a great time with her! I will definitely book Aline again in the future. Thank you so much, Aline!”
“Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Hugo and Julia. Both my dogs were very well taken care of. Hugo and Julia gave daily updates on their well being. They were very attentive and caring!!”
“Briana was amazing in caring for our pup, Charlie! He had an absolute blast! She has a large yard for them to run around and treats all pups as her own!!! We received photos throughout the day and Charlie received endless cuddles. I cannot reccomend Briana enough!!!”
“I was very pleased with Sarah’s care of Brandy when she stayed with her this past weekend. Sarah was great about updating me and sending pictures. Her house is very dog friendly and there are lots of toys that her pup shares with guests. Brandy enjoyed her stay, and although she was happy to see me, was not showing any of the anxiety I sometimes see when we are separated for a while, so I know she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for in my absence. I would highly recommend Sarah as a sitter and plan to have her watch Brandy again soon!”
“This was the first time Mliss watched my nervous dog and he did great. Good communication with updates and pics each morning. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Leaving our dog with Liliya was easy and comfortable. She communicated well and sent us photos throughout each day. Most importantly our dog seemed happy and well cared for when we picked her up! We will definitely be back next time we need a dog sitter in her area!”
“My pups love her and never fight to go home when I bring them to Auntie Nancy's home. She loves them like her own. Even when I have a complicated meal program with additives, Nancy's doesn't mind at all.”
“Our 4month old Weimaraner had her first overnight stay here. Since she is so young and it was first experience for us as well, we could not anticipate how she would react to the new environment. But they handled it all and kept her engaged! When she returned she was inquisitive about the house again but did not exhibit any signs of separation anxiety or clinging. We truly appreciate their patience with our little one and will always reach back for future boarding/day sitting needs.”
“Kim was our pug’s best friend for 9 days. She was very kind and caring to our Pug and very reassuring and communicative with us throughout his stay. She sent us pics of what they were up to every day and our dog calm back to us calm and happy. Would highly recommend!”
“Tracee and family was very welcoming during the boarding of my pet. My dog stay went amazing. Not only did she provide TLC to my dog. Tracee was able to keep in touch with me on the status of my dog and send pictures of the dog. I cant wait to utilize her services again. Definitely a five-star service! Thank you”
“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”
“Nicole cared for our 2 kittens for 3 nights and it couldn’t have been better! We got multiple updates and cute pictures throughout the day which made being away a lot easier. We are so grateful that they were in such good care, and would definitely recommend her!!”
“We are so happy we found Sandra to take care of Brandy. She is really caring and we felt she treated Brandy like part of the family. Brandy can be shy and timid, and she was very gentle with her approach to Brandy to help her get comfortable in her new environment. She was great at communicating with us, and sent several pictures of Brandy so we could see how relaxed and comfortable she was. When I dropped her off she had a list of notes from our initial discussion which basically covered the list of notes I was leaving with her (food amount and schedule, using harness for walks, sleeps on bed (Sandra's bed) - I was really impressed with her level of detail. She is already scheduled for boarding with Sandra at the end of the month and I am relieved to have someone I trust to watch her while we are away.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Marlborough is $62
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marlborough
Ashwariya is AMAZING!! 🐾 We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog, Simba. From day one, she made us feel so comfortable and reassured, and it was clear Simba was in the best hands. He had the BEST time with her, her family, and her dog—he came home so happy, relaxed, and full of love. You can really tell how much she cares about the dogs she watches. She kept us updated with frequent messages and the cutest photos, which we truly appreciated and looked forward to every day. It gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would 1000% recommend Ashwariya to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving dog sitter. Simba can’t wait to go back!! 🐶❤️
Sarah and her family were the perfect host for our Coco. They took such good care of her and gave her all the love and fun she needed for our very long trip away. It was our first time using a boarder for so long and Sarah gave us such comfort that our baby was well loved and cared for. We’ll be back!! Thank you so much!!
Charlotte and Magesh are excellent. Kai had such an amazing time with them and their dog Denver. They are very active in sending photos and videos and are super communicative and cooperative with timing. I felt completely at ease knowing Kai was in such good hands.
Joey is absolutely wonderful! Phenomenal care of my two GSD Ladybug and Dante. Very kind, knowledgeable regarding pet care and super responsive. I was constantly receiving updates about my dogs and they were calm and tired when I picked them up. I cannot recommend her enough! She is one of the best sitters!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Marlborough sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Marlborough landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Marlborough 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 Marlborough.
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.
You and your Marlborough 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 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.
