“Isabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.”
“Vanessa was great - our first time leaving our 8 year old terrier mix with her and we felt totally comfortable and at peace the whole time. From meeting Vanessa you can tell she’s extremely processional, knowledgeable, and compassionate; asking all the right questions to ensure the best stay for your pet and the easiest time away for you. She sent plenty of pictures and provided updates over the course of her stay. Our dog even shamelessly got right into bed and snuggled with Vanessa all night 😂 We will definitely reach out to Vanessa again!”
“Paula is absolutely amazing. She is extremely careful, loving, and incredibly professional. I was very happy leaving my Nina with her and I am looking forward to our next opportunity!”
“Mokeisha was AMAZING! She was available last minute over the holidays, and we were so lucky she could help. She watched my goldendoodle for several days over Christmas while I was out of town, and she was such a wonderful communicator. She sent sweet and funny updates about my pup at least twice a day and kept me at ease the whole time I was away. I loved the messages and pictures :) She was extremely responsive, and always available to message. She went above and beyond to make sure my boy was cared for, got his walks and making sure he got his meals and his twice daily medication. When it snowed, she even gave Barley a bath and dried his hair!!!! Thank you so much Mokeisha, you are so awesome!! Would highly recommend and use again!”
“Stephen and Cece were phenomenal! With an anxious dog, it can sometimes be difficult when leaving your fur baby behind. There were numerous updates throughout the day, with pictures and I felt that Lady was left in great hands! Stephen even suggested a trial run, prior to our expected drop off day, which was a phenomenal idea. They cared for Lady as if she were their own and I couldn't recommend them more!”
“Ozzi had a great time with their family. We loved to see the pictures of all the snuggling. Highly recommend them and Ozzi is looking forward to his next visit!”
“Arianna is awesome. She is very caring and very reliable. She took great care of Leo who is in need of medications for his arthritis. Arianna exceeded my expectations!”
“Erin was an incredible dog sitter, and I’m so thankful for the care she put into watching my senior Chihuahua. It’s a great feeling to know that I have someone to look after him for a few nights in the future too. Her communication was amazing, whether it was during the initial booking process, arranging for a meet and greet, or sending consistent updates with photos and videos while I was away, I always knew that I could get in touch. Would 1000% recommend her to others. Thank you, Erin!!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner myself, and for the past two years, I’ve had the joy of caring for other people’s dogs. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else, so I want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be cared for, loved, and treated like part of my family while they’re with me. I work from home full-time as a mental health therapist, so I’m able to be around throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have someone nearby to keep them company. I also understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and playtime, while others are happiest snuggling up or simply having someone close by. I take the time to get to know each dog, learn their routines, and help them feel comfortable and at home. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you’re away, like they’re staying with family. Because I work from home full-time, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I am able to give frequent attention, companionship, walks, and care throughout the day. I also have a backyard for your dog to run around and get some play time in. Safety and comfort are very important to me. I love creating a calm, loving, and structured environment where each dog can feel at home. I carefully follow each pet parent's instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty routines, walks, sleeping arrangements, and any other individual needs.
“Brooklyn watched our Sydney for a quick overnight. She was very kind and responsive. Very accommodating of our pup's schedule and needs. We felt very at ease knowing she was in good hands”
“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.”
“Grigorii took the best care of my dog. He was communicative, friendly, and thorough in his care. My dog is timid after a recent attack and Grigorii was patient and able to get her to come out of her shell over a few days’ stay. His dog is a sweetheart too so I felt confident the pups would get along. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and I’d be disappointed if he wasn’t available next time I need a sitter!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and have lots of experience with fur babies whether it’s simple care or even medical needs. I have experience administering meds orally if needed as my fur baby takes medication 3 times a day. I currently work full time but I am free after 4pm on weekdays and free all day on weekends. I work from home on Monday’s and Friday’s so I can spend all day with your fur baby! My home is an ideal space for any fur baby whether they need lots of space to play or a quiet place to unwind. This is a child free and smoke free home.
“I had to go in to the office on short notice and didn’t want to leave Mayu home alone since I didn’t make time to walk her and give her attention. I had a great meet and greet with Atticia previously, and fortunately she was available to take care of her and was understanding of my situation. I just knew Mayu would be in good care when I dropped her off. And every time I had a chance to check my phone Atticia updated me on Mayu- when she had dinner, went they went for a walk, and I even got a chance to see her interact with cutie Aurora. Thank you, Atticia!!”
About: I’m a caring cat and dog mom with lifelong experience with pets. I have a 3 year old cat and a 2 year old dog, who are my whole world. I love playing with energetic puppies and kittens, and I also have experience caring for sweet senior dogs, having grown up with two dogs with my parents. I’m a private music teacher with a flexible schedule and currently spend most of my time at home. Your pet will have plenty of company, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and personalized care based on each pet’s routine. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walks throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and I’m always happy to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible. I live with my husband, a friendly 2-year-old Bichpoo, and a calm, gentle cat. Our home is filled with cozy beds, toys, and treats for both cats and dogs. We’re also within walking distance of a dog park, making it easy to give dogs extra exercise and outdoor fun if that’s something they enjoy. We vacuum twice a day and mop every other day to keep our home clean, safe, and comfortable. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care, so they can feel relaxed, happy, and right at home.
“Natasha was absolutely amazing with my dog, she did meet me great within the timeframe I needed. She cared for him as I would and more he came back so happy to me. I would use Natasha over and over again.”
“Amazing dog sitters! Lovely family who made my dog feel comfortable immediately. They are great about sharing photos on a daily basis. My dog is always loved as if she is their own when she goes there.”

Allie puppy sat our 2 year old Twix for the weekend, seems like they had a great time with each other! Allie was prompt and responsive, showed twix around town and followed the care instructions we had for Twix. Would definitely recommend and will plan to have her watch twix again sometime soon !
Natalie was absolutely amazing with Leo and Nala! From the very beginning, she was so intentional during our meet and greet and took the time to really get to know both of them, their personalities, and what they needed before we even handed them over to her. That meant so much to us and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Throughout their stay, Natalie sent plenty of updates and kept me in the loop, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s very clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she takes care of, and she is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. We truly have nothing but great things to say about Natalie. Leo and Nala were so well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. We will absolutely be rebooking with her!
Highly recommend Mokeisha to watch your pups!! She was a fast communicator, reliable and took excellent care of our two dogs!! She sent lots of photos of them while we were away and was accommodating to their unique routines. She was also really understanding and comforting to our pups while they had some separation anxiety which was extremely comforting to us. Thanks Mokeisha! We will absolutely leave our dogs with her again.
So glad that Lauren is back on Rover. Sierra remembered her, and I think it must have been 4 years since her last stay there. From the second she got out of the car, she was excited, and by the time we got to the sidewalk up to the door, she was wagging her butt off, so excited to be back. A great stay!
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!!
Aly is wonderful as always. She and her adorable daughter took great care of our cat while we traveled for over three weeks. Knowing that our cat is in caring hands gives us so much peace of mind when we are away. Plus, Aly always goes above and beyond. She even made extra trips to our house and when she discovered that our refrigerator had broken, she emptied it and prevented a bigger mess. We can’t thank her enough.
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!

The average cost for Pet 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.

There are 4,187 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Mattapan. About 90% of Mattapan 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.
