“Donna and Roland were so welcoming to our dog, Sophie! Donna was very kind and responsive throughout the whole booking process and sent us pictures while we were away. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful couple to care for our dog!”
“Felicia provided great care for Charlie. He stayed with her family for almost a week. I was updated with photos and texts on how he was doing. I would highly recommend Felicia.”
“Thank you so much Mike for taking care of Jaxx. We are so lucky that you were available to watch him while we were on vacation. We appreciate you and your wife for the great care you provided to our pup :)”
“In the past, I have always hesitated to travel anywhere because I didn't want to put Connor in a kennel while we were gone. I'm so happy I found Rover.com! Connor stayed with Bob and his wife, Kathy. She loved hanging out with them and playing with their cute little dog, Milo. Bob sent me pictures of Connor and her activities while we were gone which was very reassuring. Bob and Kathy are awesome and I see more travel in my future! Thanks for the great care and love you gave Connor.”
“Felicia was absolutely incredible with Luna. She took her on so many great walks. Sent pics of Luna snuggled up on her couch. Luna came back so happy but wiped after the couple of busy and active days with Felicia. Luna is already looking forward to her next stay! Would highly recommend Felicia - she was so awesome, highly communicative and took amazing care of Luna🐾”
“Krystyna and Sara were AMAZING. They took care of my 2 dogs for a long weekend when I had to go away for a family funeral. I was already anxious about leaving them with someone new and they went above and beyond. They sent pictures and messages throughout the day. One of my dogs was having a paw issue with his nail and they took care of him and all the needs that came along with it. I will be recommending them to everyone I know and will for sure book with them again!!”
“This was our first long term boarding with Julie S. and it could not have gone better. Julie and her family were so attentive and loving towards Benji. The daily reports and pictures were very reassuring. There’s nothing more welcome than feeling like your pet is in good hands while you’re away.”
“Mercis was fantastic! Very responsible and communicative—she took amazing care of our dog and sent awesome photos! We will definitely be sending our dog to board with her again!”
“Denise was wonderful. My dog is very timid with new people and he felt comfortable with Denise and her two sweet small dogs immediately. Really, it was a perfect fit. Denise was welcoming and communicative throughout. So happy to have met her!”
“I recently left my Boston Terrier, Mia, with Donna and John during my vacation to Sicily for 11 days. Had not used them before, but after our initial meet and greet I felt confident they both had Mia’s best interest in mind and they genuinely love taking care of dogs! I was able to relax while gone and knew Mia was in a good place and having fun. Will definitely use John and Donna again !”
“Great experience with Donnie watching Lucy. I have already scheduled a two night stay. Lucy seemed relaxed and comfortable in Donnie’s presence. Planning to make this Lucy’s go to location as needed . Definitely recommend”
“I have never seen my dog so happy to not be with me! I'm trying to not take it personally and just be happy that we've found such wonderful care for our girl. I can't thank you enough.”
“Very responsive and friendly. Received pictures everyday. Clean and safe home settings. Gets walk and play time everyday. Very happy with how Caty cares for my fur baby. Will definitely book her again.”
“This was the second time Colby has stayed with Faith and I always know that he is well taken care of. Colby is super scared of staying with anyone but the people he knows, but Faith and her husband take good care of him and make him feel really loved. Can’t ask for more than that!!!”
“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”
“Daniela took amazing care of Dobby while we were away. She sent great updates and from each picture and video it was easy to tell that Dobby was having a great time playing in the yard and hanging out with Daniela and her family. Glad Dobby was able to be with a safe and caring family while we were gone!”
“Julia is AMAZING and made me feel at ease when leaving my pup with her when he wasn't feeling 100%. She gave me updates as needed and I was able to enjoy my vacation to the fullest knowing Julia was willing and able to do what was needed to make Lincoln feel comfortable and at home!”
“Jessica was wonderful with my dog, Luna. She kept us updated the whole time and was responsive to Luna’s unique needs. We will definitely use Jessica again in the future, we highly recommend her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Merrimac
Bob was wonderful with our pup Dune! This was our first time with Bob, and I always get a bit nervous when I leave him with someone new. However Bob put both myself and Dune at ease immediately. It's abundantly clear that he absolutely loves dogs. He made sure Dune was comfortable, well-cared for, loved and happy throughout his stay!
I couldn’t be happier with Bob and the care he gave to Hamilton over the weekend. I’m always nervous when trying a new dog sitter, but Rob was so fantastic and made me, and Hamilton, feel comfortable his entire stay. He sent plenty of pictures and Hamilton came back happy and well cared for. Hamilton will be back soon. Thanks again Bob!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Merrimac on Rover is $72.15 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 3,287 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Merrimac. 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.
93% of Merrimac 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 Merrimac 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 Merrimac 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 Merrimac.
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 Merrimac 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.
