“This was our first time boarding Bailey with Lilly and her family. We were nervous leaving our 15 year old baby with someone new but Lilly and her family made us feel comfortable and sent us pictures morning. We would definitely book with Lilly again and highly recommend her.”
“Highly recommend as Rusty accommodated well. It was Rusty first time with Xiaoxue and it went well. Rusty got good workout. Communication was great and we received pics on regular basis along with updates. Will do business again. Thanks.”
“I had my 3 year old toy poodle stay with Sandra for a weekend so that I could get away for a weekend with my girlfriend. I was a little nervous about leaving him, because he has separation anxiety and had only spent 2 nights away from me in the last 2 years. Sandra did a great job caring for my pup, and I trust her completely with my dog! She followed all directions I left her to a ‘T’, and I really appreciated her excellent communication with me about him, as it was very reassuring. She made every effort to make him as comfortable as possible during the stay, and I would 100% recommend her as a petsitter! She is a kind woman who loves dogs and takes great pride in caring for them. Sandra gets an A++ rating from me!”
“Melissa was great ! My two Golden Retrievers had such a great time and loved being around the kids. They came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they were in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Sarah and her family! This was our 1st time with Sarah and was happy to hear that our dog quickly bonded with her kids. Sarah proactively sent updates every day with pictures, which we all appreciated. I highly recommend Sarah and will definitely book with her again.”
“Mary was very patient and accomodating with us, and we especially appreciated her taking Smokey for a walk, and all the updates throughout the day. So glad to have found her!”
“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!”
“Yvonne and her family took fantastic care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. We received regular frequent updates with pictures that gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Jessie and Grace took excellent care of Maizy. She was with them for over a week. When we picked her up she seemed happy, rested, and not stressed at all. Communication was great and they were very flexible when our plans changed a bit. Highly recommend!!”
“Victoria was a fantastic host. Her house is clean and has a nice fenced in back yard for the dogs to play freely. She has two very friendly dogs which was a huge plus since ours loves to play. Will certainly look to book with her again!”

“Peggy was great! Communication was great - and our normally shy dog Edison was best buds with their dog Daytona right away. Hope he can visit with Peggy and her family again soon!”
“Greyson had another wonderful stay with Maria & her family! It is so difficult for us to leave our dog behind on vacations he can't attend, but Maria & her family are truly the BEST! Maria takes such wonderful care of our Greyson! She sends updates and photos throughout his entire stay, which I am always so grateful to receive & see that Greyson is having a blast! They truly treat him like he is their own with so much love and attention! They will forever be my go-to dog sitter! They are such a wonderful family and I am so grateful to have found someone I wholeheartedly trust to watch our Greyson! I could never thank Maria and her family enough!”

During his stay, Jessica sent me continual updates, photos and videos of Ollie enjoying walks, playing with her own dogs, watching Sunday football, and having the best time! I would highly recommend Jessica and look forward to Ollie staying with her again soon!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marlborough
This was our first time booking with Julia and we had a great experience! I really loved that she has a large property set far back from the road, which made me feel very comfortable leaving Archie there. He clearly had a great time and came home happy! Julia was also a great communicator and kept us updated while we were away. We absolutely will book with her again!
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 of Dog Boarding in Marlborough is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $58 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 3,973 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 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 Marlborough 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 Marlborough 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 Marlborough.
<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 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 , 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.
