“Elaine is very caring and accommodating. She responds quickly to communication and sent us updates every day. Our dog transitioned well coming home and that’s a good indication that he was well cared for while we were away. We will definitely consider Elaine as a sitter again.”
“We first met Briana before leaving our 2 dogs, and we knew immediately that she was the caring, dog loving person others have commented about. So, we ended up leaving our 2 dogs with Briana for a long weekend. The drop off was amazing, as the dogs were welcomed as if they lived there. Throughout the weekend we received pictures, and when we picked them up, it was clear that they had a great time. We highly recommend Briana, and look forward to the next time she will watch our dogs!”
“Gabriel was super responsive and communicative. This was our first time boarding our older adopted beagle. Gabriel worked with him to socialize him with the other dogs and made him very comfortable during his stay. I would recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
“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.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience for us and our dog. Finn was excited about going with Lauren , and when we picked Finn up, her dog thought he was coming home with us too. For Finn they’re like his second family and he loves every minute of it.”
“Julia was very warm and communicative, and she and her family seemed to really get to know and love our dog. The almost daily videos and photos, the genuine care, and the sweet Christmas gift—left us feeling 100% at ease when we were overseas, and we’ll look forward to leaving Canela with them again.”
“Aline was wonderful. She and her family cared for our pup while we were away and sent us pictures of him to keep us updated. She was very responsive as well, whenever we reached out to her. We ended up needing to pick him up a little early and she was flexible with the timing too. Thanks for caring for our little guy!”
“Svetlana and her family were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Milo! They’re kind, caring, and made him feel completely at home. Milo loved all the cuddles and attention he got — he clearly enjoyed spending time with them. I could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. I’m so grateful to have found such a loving family to look after him. Highly recommend Svetlana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and affectionate sitter!”
“Excellent experience across the board. Steve and Kira treat the pups like family and create an environment where they can play and rest and get all the TLC they need. They are easy to communicate with, provide photo updates, and don’t mind giving special diets and meds. The dogs are well screened to make sure the crew is all friendly, so they have a really positive social experience.”
“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!”
“I was nervous about boarding my dog. Our one previous experience with overnight boarding resulted in a stressed and overwhelmed dog. However, Xiaoxue was a dream! Communication was A+ from the start and she was very accommodating. She sent so many pics and videos. He got plenty of exercise and sniffing time. She is also a dog owner so he got a buddy to play with. I could tell he was having the time of his life! I will definitely book again and would recommend her with zero hesitation. Such a gem!”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“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.”
“Liliya and her family took great care of our dog Luna while we were out of town, and we felt very comfortable that Luna was in great hands with them. We also loved getting lots of updates and photos. We will definitely be calling them again the next time we’re away. :) Thank you Liliya!”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”
“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”
“Great experience leaving our senior pup with Sandra. She was super responsive and asked detailed questions to ensure our pup was well cared for. She also sent a note each day with pics. She really made us feel comfortable leaving him with her and we will board with her again!”
“Mary was great with Cookie! We felt comfortable in leaving her under Mary’s care and she sent updates to us to let us know how she was doing throughout the week. We will definitely use her again!”
“Very happy with J & J! We took a last minute trip and they responded quickly. They took good care of Milo, sent pictures, and i could tell he was happy there. Would definitely book again!”

As always top level care for my dog. I had an opportunity for a last minute trip and having an older pet I was hesitant. I was lucky Julia had availability to petsit Ricka. Julia is the person I fully trust, my dog feels so comfortable with her and her family. Julia is kind, attentive, highly responsible. Can’t say enough good things about her
We were so relieved to find someone who could board both our dog and our cat. These ladies communicated regularly and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Theo and Nico looked well taken care of when we returned. Truly grateful they were able to accommodate us.
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!! 🐶❤️
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Marlborough on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,935 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.
92% 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.
