“My dog had a blast with Sara! She sent us pictures and updates throughout the week. It was so wonderful knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely be booking with Sara again!”
“Yvonne and her wonderful family cared for our pup, Ruby, as if she were their own. While we were away, Ruby was showered with love—daily walks, endless games of fetch, and all the belly rubs she could ask for. Yvonne kept us fully in the loop with frequent updates and adorable photos that made being away so much easier. We’re incredibly grateful for the attention, warmth, and communication throughout. Ruby had an amazing time, and so did we, knowing she was in such great hands.”
“It was my first time trying it. I heard about the app from a friend. The experience was excellent. They kept me updated on my dog and her stay. The staff was very professional. I highly recommend them. Thank you for your service. I would definitely do it again.”
“Julie was a great sitter all around! She offered a meet and greet beforehand which I really appreciated. Louie was immediately comfortable with her and her home. Julie's home was a perfect fit for us because it’s one level and she has a fenced”
“My dog Kuma recently stayed with Erin for 4 days and I couldn’t be more happy with the experience. From start to finish, Erin provided exceptional care for my dog, with daily updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was also great to hear that he had ample opportunities for walks and outdoor playtime. I will definitely be returning for future pet-sitting needs.”
“Once again, we couldn’t be happier that our puppy, Lucy, was able to stay with Dawn and her family while we were out of town! We love that Lucy is not only so well cared for, but also gets to socialize with Dawn’s younger kids, their friends, and other dogs throughout her stay (we love getting photos and updates!) Lucy came home happy and exhausted - thank you, Dawn!”
“From the start, Paul was great to work with. At our initial meeting with him to meet our dog Otis and to see his facilities, we could tell Otis would be in good hands. We received regular updates/pictures on Otis. Paul reached out with questions when the need arose. We would absolutely recommend Paul to watch over your furry kids when you are out of town. Thanks Paul!”
“Aga is just who you'd like to board your dog with, because you will have complete peace of mind. She is committed to following the instructions you give her. She is attentive and tuned in to dogs. And she is a kind and loving person. Her home is set up to be safe and comfortable for dogs. Her goal is to create a fun, relaxing environment, and she accomplishes it 100%. She sends pictures and updates, and quickly responds to messages. Book ahead because she limits the number of dogs in her home, a thoughtful plus for keeping stress to a minimum. We highly recommend Aga!”
“Tomoe was FANTASTIC! Extremely nice, and welcoming personality. Felt comfortable immediately after our meet & greet session. She gave lots of updates with texts, pictures, and videos the entire weekend I was out of town. 100% recommend to anyone looking for Rover care. Bravo! 👏🏻”
“Alexandra & Joseph were great sitters for our dog! They were very responsive and sent regular updates which were so appreciated; gave us a peace of mind while away. Would recommend them to anyone!”
“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!”
“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!”
“I was very nervous leaving Rox with a “stranger” met w Pilar and she put me at ease. She provided plenty of pictures and updates while we were away and that put me at ease. If the chance to go away again occurs and she is available I would definitely reach out to her. She treated Rox like the princess she is, I am very thankful for her kindness and understanding.”
“My husband and I haven’t left our 3 year old Yorkie with anyone but family members. I read about Sue on Rover and she seemed like a good fit. We had a meet and greet ahead of time. She immediately made us feel comfortable with her friendly and professional personality. She and her sweet pups made our girl feel right at home. Sue sent photos so we could see how our Yorkie was getting along. We have put Sue on our favorite sitter’s list and she will our first choice anytime we need a sitter. We would highly recommend her to family and friends.”
“My dog Fiona Loves Lingwen she was great with Fifi and she is good with all her dogs in general I was very impressed she took the time to keep me updated sending me pictures of Fifi about all the fun stuff they were doing I was almost afraid my dog would not want to come home with me. Thanks so much for making my Fifi feel so at 🏡”
“Milo enjoyed his stay. I got photos of Milo reassuring me that Milo is in good care. She gave Milo his meds without pause (which was an unexpected last minute thing). I would definitely have Laurie watch Milo again.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been something I’m comfortable with and genuinely enjoy. I have plenty of personal experience caring for them and I occasionally help care for my friend’s dog as well. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently in school and work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and the time to take on another responsibility. I’m looking forward to using some of my free time to care for dogs and gain more experience while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I want both you and your dog to feel comfortable while they’re in my care. I’ll follow the routines and instructions you leave for me, pay attention to their behavior and needs, and make sure they’re getting the care and attention they’re used to. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
“Sarah was great with Baci! Very attentive to details and my care instructions, checked in with photos, and communicated well. She’s a nice person and so are her kids, and I will definitely have her sit for Baci again. Thank you Sarah!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marlborough
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.
This was our first experience using Rover, and it was excellent. Elaine was very responsive, professional, and kind. We booked her for daycare, and she was extremely flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated. We loved receiving all the pictures and communicating with Elaine during our dog's stay. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Elaine!
It’s never easy leaving a pup behind when going on vacation, but it is comforting knowing you’ve found someone who I’ll care for them as you would! Our dog Scottie had a blast while we were away with Julia and Hugo, and we got daily updates and pictures of his stay with them. They are very communicative and I would, and plan to rebook with them again in the future with zero hesitation
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.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Marlborough on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,132 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Marlborough. About 90% of Marlborough sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
