“Caty and her family are great. They treated Sagan like one of their own and developed a good bond with him. This was our first time leaving him with a sitter so he experienced a bit of separation anxiety but Caty and her family were very patient and helped him through it. Thank you for taking good care of our buddy.”
“Leyani was great, her kids loved our dog too. I would not hesitate to leave Brewster with their family in the future. She sent us daily pictures of our dog and we could tell he was happy and relaxed.They have a nice fenced yard and took Brewster to the dog park as well.”
“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!!”
“Yenny and her family where extremely amazing 🥰 my Winnie was happy being around them for being her first time spending the night out of her comfort 🩷🫶🏼 she did well I will definitely book again in near future with yenny. Definitely recommend her 💯”
“Veska and her family are wonderful people. My dog enjoyed his visit and Veska was more than understanding of our delay picking up. She kept my dog one more night without a problem and sent me pictures that she captured of my dog looking happy, comfortable and feeling right at home ! Will definitely be my first choice the next time I leave town.”
“Mike and his family did a wonderful job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They send lots of photos and really treat her like one of the family, she has the best time there and I know she is being well cared for, highly recommend.”
“Thank you, Faith! Our dog has only ever stayed with family, so it was a big change to leave him with someone new. Faith came highly recommended and was wonderful about communication, setting up a Meet & Greet with us and our dog, and a pleasure to work with. He's queued up for another stay already!”
“Damaris is an excellent dog mom. She always communicates with us with pictures. Our dog enjoys going to Damaris and we feel comfortable and safe sending it there. We have used Damaris more than 8 times”
“Daisy was amazing with my picky dog. We scheduled a last minute trip and she was beyond accommodating and put our minds at ease knowing that we were leaving our pup in good hands. She went above and beyond, and we looked forward to her pictures and updates while we were away. If we need to board again, I feel 100% comfortable reaching out to Daisy again!”
“Abe had the best time! We got lots of photos of him running around their yard (which has an awesome setup for dogs!) Cherie was very accommodating to our tentative drop off and pickup windows, which was much appreciated. Would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Ruth was absolutely wonderful and very flexible! She and Roxy welcomed Pablo and made him comfortable and happy from the moment one. I was comfortable knowing that my senior pup is in loving and experienced hands. He had a great time socializing, walking and enjoying Ruth's backyard. Thank you so much!!”
“Joseph and his family were great sitters. They took care of our boy like he was their own. Their home and outdoor space is safe and spacious for dogs to get plenty of exercise. They were also very accommodating when we had a change in travel plans. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again as a sitter.”
“Kristen was amazing, she gave me daily updates on my fur baby. Galaxy felt very comfortable in thier home and I will 100% reccommend their services. Grateful to find a local family that truely cares about dogs and thier well being.”
“Josh was great! Very accommodating with setting up a meet and greet beforehand and modifying booking time for an overnight stay for our dog Ozzy, who had a blast making new doggie friends and has been tuckered out from all the fun since we picked him up.”
“This was our first time leaving the pups anywhere with anyone other than family, and we left them for 3 days and nights over President's Day Weekend when we went up north. We chose Thea based on the excellent reviews and also availability. I brought the dogs over to meet her and Karma, her dog, and my dogs seemed comfortable there right away. My dogs, who are 65-75 pound puppies, can be quite rowdy, but to my surprise, they were calmed by the other dogs' energy. Even when we stopped by for a meet and greet, they made themselves at home by finding a cozy place to lounge and chew on a toy. Throughout the weekend, other dogs came and went, and our pups seemed to get along with all of them. It was very refreshing and Thea was very accommodating. She brought them to the dog park, on walks, and even an excursion to the beach, which we hadn't been quite brave enough to try yet ourselves. We definitely have our hands full with these two, and she has reassured us that we are doing a good job with them. We feel like we made a great choice sending our dogs to Dorothea.”
“Jennifer and her family were so wonderful. They provided a lovely and safe home for Walter while we were on vacation. Her dog Molly even taught our dog good manners. Highly recommended!!!”
“Vanessa was great! She treated my girls like they were her own, which is exactly what I was looking for in a sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing with plenty of pictures. My girls were treated to many walks, plenty of play time, and cuddles. I’m so relieved to have found Vanessa!”
“I am so grateful to have found Kathy!! I was looking for an alternative to leaving my dog at a typical kennel/dog boarding business, and have started using Kathy’s services, and could not be happier! She clearly loves dogs and has tons of experience working with them. I appreciate her gentle approach of getting the dog acclimated and her communication before and during the stay was wonderful! I can now leave for vacations with my mind at ease, knowing my dog is being well cared for!”

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!
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!

There are 3,327 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.
