“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.”
“I left my Great Dane in Gabriel’s care for a week. She was well taken care of and had plenty of exercise and play time with other pups he was looking after. We loved seeing the video and photo updates Gabriel shared throughout the week. I would definitely recommend him and will definitely be using him to watch my dog in the future!”
“Meli is a fantastic sitter! She took awesome care of my pup, Chunk. I really enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout the day. It was a comfort knowing that he was in good hands. You can tell that she is very passionate about animals!”
“Briana took great care of dog over the weekend! I got lots of photo updates showing how happy and comfortable she was in her home. Definitely recommend and will be using her again to take of our pup when we are away.”
“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!”
“I am so happy to have found Elaine and Ken on Rover.com. My dog Tessie was so well taken care of and I will definitely leave her again! I was gone for 5 days and Elaine was in constant contact with me including pictures of Tessie! I would recommend this family to anyone! Thanks Elaine!”
“This was our first of hopefully many visits to Julia and Hugo. Sadie was greeted warmly and she felt relaxed and happy. Julia sent nice photos and comments. I felt secure leaving Sadie because Julia is a warm and loving person who takes her job responsibly and seriously. Thank you Julia and Hugo.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Liliya is wonderful! She has a very clean house, takes only one dog at a time and sends wonderful photos of our dog so we can stay connected! This is our third stay with her and our dog seems very happy at her house. I highly recommend Liliya and we will be going back to her for our next trip!”
“We have a Berner that is almost 3 years old and she has been staying with Kira and her family since she was a puppy. I can't give anything but the highest rating for Kira and her family. It is always hard leaving a beloved pet with someone else, but we never worry with Kira. Winnie has a great big back yard to play in with other dogs and the personal attention she receives to be part of the family is second to none. Daily updates with photos of how well our pup is doing puts our mind at ease while we are away. We always know that Winnie is being treated as part of the family and gets tons of attention and play time. Logistically, Kira is always flexible and amenable with drop offs and pick ups and their home and space for the dogs is set up wonderfully. Our dog has more room to roam and play than she does at her own home! We have been repeat customers with Kira multiple times over and will continue to plan to be for years to come!”
“Mliss was amazing! The pre-stay meeting went great. Throughout the stay, Mliss sent many updates and pictures. Looks like Bella had a great time. Would highly recommend.”
“Sandra is simply amazing. This is the second time I have trusted Sandra with my pup, and she will be my go to for all future boardings. My travel plans were a bit uncertain, but Sandra was extremely flexible and communicative, making what could have been a stressful boarding situation incredibly easy. I would highly recommend Sandra!!”
“Loren is a wonderful dog care giver. It is obvious that she loves Rosie and that Rosie loves her. She followed our routine for Rosie diligently. We have complete confidence in her and would use her again. We are sure that Rosie can't wait for her next sleepover at Loren's house.”
“Maeve greets Leo like he is her family member! He happily runs in and is at home immediately. She texts me photos every day and is accomodating when my drop off and pick up times are in flux. Great dog sitter!”
“Rita was so great! She sent so many pictures and videos of our lil guy while we were gone. It was our first time leaving him with a sitter and he’s pretty anxious but he even got along well with her dog who apparently usually loves playing but understood that our dog needed his space. She was so easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Julie just watched my shihpoo Jasmine for the first visit. Jasmine and I recently relocated from Virginia to Massachusetts and she is experiencing severe separation anxiety. I had to make a trip out of town and Julie's expertise showed brilliantly. She was like a second mom to my precious pup and fulfilled my every hope and dream. A blessing indeed. Who can put a price on peace of mind?”
“We had our first playdate with Tracee this week and it went very well! Tracee has a warm and welcoming home and made our dog very comfortable and happy during his stay. I also got multiple pictures of him playing and relaxing, which I appreciated. We have an overnight stay booked with Tracee and are looking forward to it! Thank you!!”

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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Marlborough
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Marlborough on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,032 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Marlborough. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
