“Jing was amazing! This was my first time leaving my sweet pea, Chianti, with a sitter and I was much more nervous and anxious than her. Jing was super communicative, which I really appreciated!! Lots of photos and videos throughout the days and also she was just responsive in general. My doggo clearly had a lovely time and lived her best life. She loved Jing’s hubby Jeremy as well - this became super obvious when they let me come visit for a meet and greet prior to booking. Their space is clean and well laid out for dogs. The backyard is a nice big, fenced off space that’s great for all the dogs to run around and play or just relax. Will definitely book with Jing again! She was truly very wonderful.”
“Alec and Damien were so kind! My cat loved being at their place. There was plenty of room and things to explore and he was very much well taken care of. 100% would recommend them!”
“In addition to the usual amazing taking care of our dogs, Casey wowed us (unsurprisingly) with her grace, quickness, and thoughtfulness when I messed up by not communicating the wanted pickup date. We worked fast to find a solution to take good care of the dogs until the end, and my husband and I are yet again extremely grateful for Casey and the top notch service she provides. Thank you, Casey.”
“Joe is a grade A human being who did a great job watching my pooch. He was extremely responsive throughout the trip and sent me updates of JB over the course of his stay. His dog, Dodger is very accommodating as well. If you live in the Highlands area, you can feel completely confident in letting Joe watch over your 4-legged family member. Cheers!”
“Jess was so phenomenal! We received so many pictures and our dog clearly loved his time with her and her family. We’re so thankful and will definitely book with Jess again.”
“Alyson was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates while watching my cat and it was clear he was having a great time. She asked questions and was super responsive - would definitely recommend booking with her and I will book again!”
“We are so grateful to Tianyue!! She is so lovely, and our puppy loves boarding at her place. She takes such good care of Kaju and he always comes back home happy. Thank you so much!”
“Dana was a fantastic dog sitter and a great dog trainer. He helped us work through some of our dog’s behavioral issues and we hope to work with him more moving forward”
“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“Oscar took great care of our dog, Bella! They were very communicative (+ sent lots of photos and videos of our girl having the best time). The first night Bella had some tummy problems, and they took care of her and communicated throughout the day. She was better by day two! I can’t speak highly enough! Will definitely have Oscar watch Bella again soon!”
“Alan and Ying were great! They took excellent care of Nori, and we had regular updates. Nori loves playing with their dogs and from updates, she had a ton of fun.”
“Julie was simply fantastic with Wesley. She let him sniff around and learn get comfortable in her apartment while I was there to make sure he was ok. Lots of photos and Infor a laugh as she she shared a Wesley story as she took him for a walk and he waited hopefully for some free pizza. I would definitely rebook.”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Jason was amazing. He took such good care of our boy - good walks, play with his dog Noah outside and made sure he received a heavy dose of love and snugs.”
“Steven was great with our dog. We boarded her with him for a long weekend She is a nervous girl and often barks at new people. When I dropped her off he took her leash and her treats and immediately got her to sit and calm down. During her stay with Steven he sent us photos, which I appreciate. When I picked her up she was in good spirits and wagging her tail which is always a good sign. We will definitely be using Steven's services again.”
“Nalix was everything we wanted out of a pet sitter: prompt communication, accommodating, good care of our dog, and convenient dropoff and pickup. We will use Nalix in the future!”
“This was our second time with Ashley, and my dog Charlee was so excited to see her when I dropped her off! She takes great care of her and we will definitely use her in the future.”
“Tyler was amazing with my Lobo and Tango! He was a great communicator and I was ever grateful for the flexibility as my travel plans change unexpectedly a few times while I was away. I could tell they were truly cared for and a spoiled just as much (if not more) than would have been with me! Highly recommend and will be trying Tyler again for my next dog care needs”

Sonia was THE BEST!! We will absolutely be reaching back out to Sonia anytime we need a dog sitter in the future. She was incredibly communicative, flexible when our travel plans changed, and treated our dog Ruth like family from the first minute, as evidenced by photos and videos of them having fun at many times throughout each day. Look no further than Sonia!!
Nalix was wonderful with my two-and-a-half-year-old pup, Sati. Nalix has so much experience with dogs of all sorts, clearly loves them, and is very attentive to each one, which made me feel immediately at ease leaving Sati with her this first time. I know I'll be leaving Sati with her in the future. I also appreciated that Nalix takes the dogs to different dog parks, so they get variety. I loved getting pictures of Sati romping with other dogs there, and also snuggling back inside.
I was a little nervous leaving my dog Riley with new people because she’s so anxious, but we were able to meet beforehand with a meet and greet, which definitely helped make it more comfortable, and Riley was able to warm up thereafter. Great apt/backyard setup for dog sitting and we really appreciated the daily updates and pictures!
Truly the best of the best when it comes to care. She walked our one dog constantly as he needs to expend a lot of energy. My dog Boo is very very timid and she warmed up to Agnieszka immediately. She has recently had dental surgery and was struggling to eat. Agnieszka went so far as to feed my dog out of her hand to get her to eat. It was amazing to know that my dogs were in such good hands and truly felt at home with her. She is amazing and I can’t thank her enough!
Ayanna was great! I needed a dogsitter on short notice and she replied very quickly and helped me out of a pinch. She's in a great location with a big park right near by! My pup was well cared for and very happy. She sent some pictures and updates even for a really short stay
Casey took excellent care of our dog Odin and is fantastic with communication! She’s quick to respond and flexible with scheduling. She’s very attentive and proactive about understanding Odin’s needs and personality. Odin loved Casey right away and he definitely made a new friend! I would absolutely recommend Casey to anyone looking for a sitter who is professional and will care for your dog like their own.
Jason was amazing with our dog, Libby! He sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend, which we absolutely loved. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. He took wonderful care of her, and we would definitely book with Jason again!
Zoe was fabulous. I was in a jam last minute to find a sitter and she responded right away and was able to watch my dog for 4 days while I was away on vacation. I was nervous that my dog would not respond well to her larger dog, but her dog was so gentle with mine, they were able to be together in the yard and in the house, no problems.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mattapan on Rover is $58.85 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 4,067 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mattapan. 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 Mattapan 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 Mattapan 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 Mattapan 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 Mattapan.
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 Mattapan 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.
