“Donnie was amazing with our Millie! This was the longest we’ve ever been away from her and he instantly put us at ease. Donnie sent us so many pictures to keep us updated and couldn’t have looked happier! We are so grateful and will definitely be using Donnie’s care again in the future.”
“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.”
“Damaris is definitely the best dog sitter ever. I was able to have a wonderful vacation with my family with a peaceful mind and no worries. Damaris is very communicative and always kept us informed about our dog. It was nice to received pictures of him daily.”
“Extremely professional from first contact until now, she made me feel like a valuable customer, truly excited to be taking our dog. Accommodating, friendly, and most importantly LOVED our dog. Frequent photos and updates, I feel like our dog had a vacation too! Thank you so much!”
“Stacey is the best! This is the second time we’ve left our dog with her and could not be happier. Our dog loves her and she goes above and beyond. She truly cares for our dog as if she were her own.”
“We just love Rebeca and her whole family! They all pitch in and take care of the dogs that stay with them and we have a VERY active dog so it is so good for her to have lots of people to play with while we’re away. :) I can tell Cici always has the best time with them and we don’t have to worry about her at all while on vacation. We got the most gorgeous pics of her to see all the fun walks she was taking and fun games she was playing with their daughter. And at the end of the stay their daughter gave her a little Halloween goody bag with the CUTEST note talking about her favorite moment of Cici’s stay with her. It’s just so sweet you can see how much they care about your dog when they are with them. Cici will for sure be back over and over again! 🥰”
“Jing, made this experience a very positive one. I hadn’t left my 2yr old Zuchon previous to this. I felt very reassured for the duration my fur baby was in her home. My pet enjoyed the doggy day camp, and will continue to use Jing whenever possible. Thanks Rover!”
“We are so grateful to have found Julia in our hometown! She was a fantastic sitter for our Samoyed and treated him like one of her own kiddos. She was a great communicator and provided multiple pictures and updates each day which we greatly appreciated! Highly recommend!”
“While my family and I were on vacation, Rita did an excellent job taking care of Mango. She kept me updated daily with pictures and updates on his well-being. What I appreciated the most was the fact that Rita's home has a spacious fenced yard where Mango could get ample exercise. I will undoubtedly utilize Rita's services again and am grateful for discovering her on Rover. I highly suggest using Rita if you require a dog sitter.”
“I’ve been going to Melissa for about 2 years and she’s always been amazing with my boys. She has a great space for them to roam around and play. She’s excellent at communication as well and sending in updates on how they’re doing. Thank you again!”

Button would have been nervous anywhere but I felt that she was in good hands with Donnie. He kept her safe and that’s the most I can ask for until she gets used to being at his place. I appreciate his professionalism and confidence with dogs and training. We will likely book again when we are in need of pet care.
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. When we had to cut our family vacation short due to an emergency, she was so understanding and had our dog ready to go with just 30 min notice. My dog was very happy and clearly well cared for when we picked her up! Will definitely be using her again
My Bernadoodle Duke stayed with Gabriel for 10 days and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Gabriel sent timely updates and told me when Duke wasn't eating his food so we could determine what he could eat. He was a great caretaker for my dog, and I would use him again.
Richie did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my dog atlas. From the start, he was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared a lot about Atlas’s well-being. He kept me updated, followed all instructions, and made sure Atlas was happy, safe, and well cared for the entire time. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Atlas was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Richie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.
Cassandra had our pup over the holidays and went out of her way to accommodate us and make him perfectly at home, even in the midst of the year’s busiest season. She sent wonderful notes and photos, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he received. Thank you so much, Cassandra!
Camila and Michael took excellent care of Kalei - she was happy and content when I picked her up. She has a slightly complicated feeding routine that they administered, so I appreciate the effort put in to keep her healthy. They sent photos and videos of her playing, snuggling, and sniffing on her walks, so I got a good overview of her time away. She even made friends with their cat, which was unexpected. I felt comfortable with the care they provided for her and would recommend!
I was nervous about leaving my dog, Leo, with strangers because he's very nervous and had never been around woth strangers before. It was our first time. But when we met Deante and his wife, he gave us a lot of confidence and security. Even though Leo stayed only for one night, Deante was very communicative and attentive to Leo. He sent us messages and photos of his stay. I would definitely trust Deante with my Leo again. I recommend him 100%.
Penny had an amazing time with Kristina. It can be nerve wracking to leave your pet with someone new but Kristina and her sister immediately eased any anxiety as soon as I met them. You can really tell they love dogs. They sent plenty of photos and update of my dog having so much fun playing in the yard with their dogs. I am happy penny was so lovingly cared for and we will be back next time we have a trip! Thank you!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Methuen on Rover is $42.8 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 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 August 2026, there are 3,688 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Methuen. 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.
92% of Methuen 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 Methuen 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 Methuen 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 Methuen.
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 Methuen 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.
