“Cherie was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and for my new dog I had only had for two months, so I was uncertain about the whole process. Cherie was very responsive and easy to work with. My dog isn’t the easiest dog ever but Cherie managed her well. With the big fenced in backyard and other dog friends to play with, I wasn’t sure my dog waned to leave at the end!! Highly recommend. Almost forgot- we had a few travel hiccups coming back and Cherie was really understanding and we were able to book an extra night. Five stars!”
“Faith was not one bit short of amazing, she sent pictures and updates of our pup, Stella, throughout the entire vacation. We were worry warts because Stella is a very high energy pup with a big personality, but Faith had everything under control and wasn't even phased by the excited first meeting. Stella was very tired after her long weekend with Faith and fellow puppers, so we knew she had a great vacation herself. She will be returning in a couple months for about a week and it will not be her last time!”
“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.”
“Veska took wonderful care of our 7 year old lab. He was made to feel a part of her family. He got lots of love and exercise. Veska took the time to send many daily updates with pictures. I highly recommend her services.”
“We had an amazing experience with Andrea watching our dog Royce while we were away visiting family in New Jersey. From the very start, she was incredibly responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with! She sent us daily updates and plenty of adorable photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Both Andrea and her husband were so kind, friendly, and welcoming. Royce clearly felt right at home with them! He was so happy and smiling in photos, and was happy when he came home! I would absolutely recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we would love to have her watch Royce again in the future!”
“Daisy watched our dog Bentley for a long weekend. Daisy was great with Bentley, she is very understanding and kind . In the past our dog Bentley got very anxious and nervous when we went away, he was very comfortable with her and happy for the time we where gone. We already booked Daisy for a week long stay in the end of January!”
“Jessica was very attentive. She paid close attention to my dog, Teddy, and kept him busy and happy. She sent adorable pictures frequently and spent a lot of outdoor time with Teddy walking and playing with him. I felt very comfortable with Jessica. She showed strong knowledge about dogs and a clear love for them as well. I absolutely recommend Jessica for anyone who needs their dog taken care of.”
“My dog had a wonderful week with Kathy. You can tell that she truly cares for the dogs she's watching. Kathy is excellent at communicating, which is the best. We had videos and updates more than once a day. It was reassuring and helpful to see our dog playing and running with pals. Also, her fences are great so I wasn't worried about my 9 pound dog escaping! I will not hesitate to board with her again.”
“Caroline and Gerry took wonderful care of Coda. They were friendly and thoughtful and very willing to help when my original flight was cancelled. It was great to have peace of mind that he was in such great hands.”
“Charlie stay with Dorothea was awesome! She kept us with many pictures during his stay. It's our second time trusting her with our dog and we couldn't be more happier with his stay! Charlie loves it there!”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Gabriella’s setup is awesome. She has a great fenced in yard with lots of room for play. Her black lab, Clifford, is very loving & playful & gets along with both dogs & humans. She brought my dog on a walk with her dog by a castle & pond. Benny did not want to leave, he had so much fun. Gabriella is also caring & fun!”
“It was wonderful experience with Julia. I did get multiple photos during my pet stay. I love the fact that she has 3 wonderful kids who lovee dogs and lucky for my dog they had a summer break. I would love to drop my dog with her again.”
“Julia was amazing with our puppy and went above and beyond to take care of him as well as to keep us up to date with how everything was going, would highly recommend her to anyone”
“Simon loves to stay over at Damaris house. She takes great care of Simon and keeps me posted throughout the stay by sending me pictures and videos of Simon. I highly recommend Damaris.”
“Rita and her fur-fam gave my boy the most wonderful vacation. She is not paid what she is worth - she knows dogs at an expert level, she loves them, her place is set up perfectly for a dog vacation. I was a nervous new mom to leave my dog, but Rita and her two sweet dogs gave my Donut the best experience, opening his personality in wonderful ways and putting me at peace. Thank you for the tlc and ease, and your time, Rita.”
“Dolev was great with Mocha. Mocha was a little anxious when I left her (normal for her) but she settled in beautifully. I got a lot of pictures of Mocha having fun and playing with Dolev and the smaller humans :). I felt relieved that Mocha was getting a ton of attention and Dolev was great about communicating back with us. I'll definitely book with her again!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
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. 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.
