“I couldn’t have imagined a better first experience with in-house boarding. They were incredibly understanding of my dog’s needs, and Masha loved them from the very first meeting! They even went the extra mile to ensure she was eating well and gave her treats, which I truly appreciated. I would recommend them hands down to anyone—it was such a relief to know she was in such great hands.”
“Kyla took such great care of our dog, Zoey, while my family went on vacation. I would not hesitate to leave Zoey with Kyla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Julie and Tiff to great care of my dogs! They had them for 4 days and sent me multiple updates each day. Communication was great and I love the pics they sent me. When I picked them up I could tell they were happy and well cared for. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend!”
“Our dogs had the best weekend with Kexin and Carlos (and their new furry friends)! Everything was super easy and smooth. They kept us updated with great pictures and videos and even gave us sweet mementos of their stay. We will absolutely book again and highly recommend them!! Thank you both so much for your thoughtfulness and care with Franklin and Riley!”
“Our Bernese Mountain Dog, Greta, has has two wonderful stays with Kira and her family! I would HIGHLY recommend Kira to any dog owner. Her daily updates and pictures are such peace of mind while we were away and the smile on Greta’s face was priceless! The second time we pulled up to the house, Greta excitedly ran to their front door and I had to ask her to come back so I could say good bye! There’s no doubt that Greta will return anytime we are away. We’re so grateful for the care and love she receives with Kira.”
“Stacy took great care of our dog for 10 days while we were out of the country. Being far away from a much loved pet can be tough. But we had no concerns because we knew she was in good hands. When we went to pick up our pup was super happy and obviously enjoyed her time with Stacy in a very dog friendly environment.”
“Dobbs is family to me, so finding someone I trust isn't easy. Melissa exceeded every expectation. From the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up, she kept me updated with photos and messages that showed him happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. Seeing him playing, relaxing, and making new friends made it clear he wasn't just being watched—he was being cared for and loved. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Melissa, for treating my boy like one of your own. We'll definitely be back.”
About: Hi, I’m Marilyn! I have been caring for animals since I was 12 years old, starting with my neighbors' cats and expanding to dogs as I gained experience. Medication & Special Care Experience With my nursing training and years of pet ownership, I am very comfortable managing special health needs. I am experienced in administering: Oral Medications (I’m a pro at using pill pockets, cheese, or whatever trick your pet prefers!) Topical Treatments Ear Drops Meet My Pack: We are a pet-loving household! When you book with me, your pet will be sharing space with my sweet fur-family. My French Bulldog: He is an 8-year-old Frenchie who is incredibly laid-back and absolutely wonderful with kids and other animals. My Two Cats: Nemo and Milo. They are energetic, sweet kittens (born in October and November 2025) who are well-adjusted to a busy, animal-friendly home. Home Environment & Boarding Accommodations I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as they do in their own home. My house is fully equipped for secure, happy stays: Fenced-In Yard: Perfect for safe, supervised playtime and quick potty breaks. Finished Basement with Baby Gates: I have a spacious, finished basement that is perfect for giving pets their own dedicated zone. If your pet isn't fully comfortable around cats, I can easily keep them separated using baby gates. Crate-Friendly: If your dog prefers to sleep in a crate or is crated for safety when unsupervised, I am happy to utilize a crate according to your exact preferences. Whether your pet needs active playtime in the yard, quiet companionship while I study, or precise medication schedules, I am here to treat them like a member of my own family. I can't wait to meet your pup or kitty! As a stay-at-home mom and part-time nursing student, nurturing and safety are second nature to me. My nursing classes only take up 2 days of my week, leaving me with wide-open availability to care for your pet the rest of the time. Because I am home so much, I can cater to all of their needs—from high-energy play sessions to specialized care routines. You can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in attentive, loving hands! My goal is to provide a "home away from home" that mirrors the safety and structure they have at your house. Home & Environment: Secure Yard: Large, fenced-in area for supervised outdoor time. Hydration: Constant access to filtered, fresh water. Socialization: My two young sons, our friendly 8-year-old Frenchie, and two cats make for a social environment, but we can easily accommodate dogs who need their own space. Crate Ready: I can utilize your pup’s crate for sleeping or breaks to maintain their existing training and comfort. My Promise: I am highly detail-oriented and will follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and behavior to the letter. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my primary concerns.

Bridget has a great set up for keeping dogs safe and happy during their visit. We were really impressed by her love of the work and caring for the animals. It was our younger pups first time away and Bridget handled it great. We look forward to working with her again.
I would give Dave a really good review. Hannah seemed very comfortable there with Dave and captain. She was walked regularly and had access to the fenced in yard. Dave sent updates and pictures of the two dogs walking and hanging out. Would recommend and use again.
Paolla was absolutely incredible! She agreed to take care of Champ at the last minute and did an amazing job. Champ was overjoyed, and Paolla was thrilled to meet him and start playing with him immediately. She sent numerous pictures and kept me updated on his well-being. Her flexibility and accommodation were greatly appreciated. I will definitely be using her for future boarding needs. Thanks a bunch!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mendon on Rover is $61.98 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,159 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mendon. 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.
89% of Mendon 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 Mendon 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 Mendon 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 Mendon.
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 Mendon 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.
