“Barbara’s care of Ziggy was top quality, thoughtful, professional and comforting for us because we frequently got cute update pics of our dog, and would often set up play dates with other dogs. She treated our Ziggy with much love and TLC!”

“Another great 4-day visit over Thanksgiving! It’s amazing to know my dog is safe and happy with this loving family. Of course Ceila was happy to see us, but with paws on the window, she was wondering why her surrogate Dad wasn’t joining us in the car.”

“Greta was very kind, patient, communicative and accommodating! Lots of updates and pics throughout my dogs stay. Plenty of walks and park time. He seemed genuinely happy to be there!”

“We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dogs, Cloe and Luna, received! They were clearly happy and comfortable, and we really appreciated all the photos and videos Casey sent us while we were away. It was really reassuring to know they were in good hands. We'd definitely leave them with her again!”

“Dana did a fantastic job with Huckleberry and made him very comfortable during his stay, including trips to the park and a bath. He even replaced a leash that was broken during his stay!”

“Marissa took very good care of Conan, who is a bit anxious. He even did well with Marissa's dog, which she did in a controlled and easy way, which we loved because he needs some positive socialization. She took him for walks, and kept us informed, sending texts and pics. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”

“Kathy is such a wonderfully warm person and even though my dog is used to his space and alone time, I had no reservations about leaving him with her and the other pets in her home. She sent photos so I could stay up to date, and when I was sick on returning from my trip, she was so helpful in getting my dog back home. 100% recommend :D”

“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”

“So happy with the service Duncan (our golden doodle got)! Jess kept us updated daily with pictures and texts. He seemed to go on lots of walks and had lots of company with other canine friends as well as their adorable girls! Will definitely be using Jess again!”

“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”

“Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.”

“Thank you so much Nally for taking care of my Leo! 😍 I just went on a business trip to Texas and had a last minute change with my other sitter and was in a bind. I was so stressed out because I wanted to find good care for my puppy. Nally literally came to my rescue. Everyday she sent me photos and videos of my babe and I can tell with her expertise and experience taking care of dogs that my puppy was in good hands. Couldn’t have found a better person to care for him. Thanks so much! Leo will love to go back to your care Nally! You’re the best ❤️😍”

“Allie took care of our pup over the Xmas break. She was amazing - super flexible, communicative, and responsive. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“With a weekend trip upcoming, on short notice I reached out to Eddy to watch my dog Jessie for a weekend. Without hesitation he said yes! After a quick meet and greet the week before, Jessie was set to stay with Eddy for the following weekend. I’m very glad I booked with Eddy!! All weekend long I got consistent picture updates, and had no worries when Eddy assured me he’d be able to keep Jessie on a regular medication schedule when she unexpectedly had some anti-inflammatory meds to take during her stay. With pickup and drop off I didn’t have to worry about a frantic departure or arrival for myself. Highly recommended Eddy for boarding, would definitely book again!”

“Alan was so helpful in accommodating our last minute drop-off and pick-up schedule changes. We were provided updates with accompanying pictures of Murphy throughout our entire trip and felt he was in good hands. We would love to have Murphy be a repeat client. Thank you for all your help and for taking such good care of our guy.”

“Sarah was terrific with our dog Dougal. Communication was great and everything went to plan. We were very pleased to have found Sarah and would be happy to have her look after Dougal again. We would definitely recommend her to others.”


“Another great stay with Sarah! It’s comforting to know that my pup is in a cozy family home while I’m away. They take such good care of Minnie and I love the picture updates!”

“Great, easy stay! Steven was responsive and flexible with pickup times. He worked with me to understand my dog's feeding quirks and walk schedule. He sent pictures during the trip and I knew my doggo was safe and comfortable with him. Thanks!”

Kim is fantastic! Salty had a wonderful time with Kim. Salty was well taken care of, enjoyed his overnights, and got along well with Kim’s two dogs. Kim’s fenced in yard is a real plus. Kim was able to help me with my last minute booking and was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times.

There are 4,455 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Needham Heights. About 90% of Needham Heights 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.
