“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Krystyna & Sara G. were absolutely amazing with my mini Goldendoodle, Hazel! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in caring and capable hands. They provided excellent communication throughout her stay, including updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Hazel came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Krystyna and Sara treated her like part of their family, giving her plenty of attention, affection, and care. They went above and beyond to make sure all of her needs were met and that she felt comfortable and loved. I would highly recommend Krystyna & Sara G. to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Hazel—I will definitely be booking with you again! 🐾❤️”

“Paul and Megan were excellent hosts for Kenobi. From the meet and greet I could tell Kenobi felt comfortable in their presence. They were very responsive and great at communication. The frequency of updates and pictures was just right and we came back to a healthy, happy dog. Would absolutely recommend. We will definitely be repeat customers.”

“Jessica was so wonderful with our senior pup! She kept us updated with all the photos and videos. I felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her even after meeting her for just a few minutes at drop off.

My dog was very happy and clearly well cared for when we picked her up! Will definitely be using her again”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Merrimac
We’ve boarded our dog, Tanner, with Daniela and her family several times now, and they are simply wonderful with him! Throughout his stay, Daniela kept us updated with great photos where Tanner was clearly in his element, soaking up all the love and attention from the whole family. They even gave him lessons in ball retrieval! Granted, he ultimately flunked those lessons—but he is a Coonhound, after all. Daniela’s communication and responsiveness were top-notch from start to finish. We are so grateful for the attentive, loving care Tanner received, and I cannot recommend Daniela and her family highly enough!
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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Merrimac on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 3,371 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Merrimac. About 90% of Merrimac 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.

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.
