“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”

“This was our first booking with Alex and it was an outstanding experience. Our mini poodle had the time of her life playing with the other 2 dogs. Alex is a great communicator and takes his responsibility of dog care very seriously. Lovely big fenced back yard that provided lot of safe room to run about. We all look forward to booking with Alex again in the near future.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Yick-hong was FANTASTIC with Fiona! From the start, he was very communicative and thorough with the intake before the actual boarding. While Fiona stayed with Yick-hong, we could see that she was very comfortable and happy from her body language. He took great care of her, took her on scenic walks, played with her, pampered her - and even taught her new tricks! We are very happy that Fiona made a new friend, and would happily leave her with Yick-hong again. Fantastic sitter and companion”

“Robert and Jen took such great care of Rosie and Emmy while we were away. We were able to enjoy our vacation and keep up with our pups thanks to the regular photos they sent us daily. We look forward to other trips knowing Rosie and Emmy will be well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“Paula and her family took great care of my baby. She was very responsive and understanding of his quirks. Took him to the park and for a hike which he clearly enjoyed judging from the pictures she sent. Definitely recommend Paula and would have my pup stay there again anytime.”

“Kathy was so accommodating and responsive! And she sent pictures of Frankie all day long to keep us posted. It was Frankie’s first experience in a house with cats so we were a bit worried, but everything worked out great and all the animals lived in harmony. We will definitely book again!”

“Helen and Ji are so good with boy. They gave me videos and pics throughout the day. Cornelius came back running and playful, all the signs of a happy dog. They are my only doggysitters from now on!”


“Sofia took excellent care of Roscoe and she was super to work with from our initial interaction to when I picked Roscoe up after his stay. She always responded very quickly to my questions and was very flexible with my schedule, which I appreciate very much.”

“Sarah was great with Baci! Very attentive to details and my care instructions, checked in with photos, and communicated well. She’s a nice person and so are her kids, and I will definitely have her sit for Baci again. Thank you Sarah!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Rebecca and her family. She made my dog Rosie feel like a member of the family from the beginning! Not only was Rebecca able to accommodate our last minute request, but she also clearly demonstrated experience with and a genuine love for dogs. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay and made Rosie so comfortable. Rebecca will definitely be our go-to choice in the future!”


“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was easy to coordinate with, provided plenty of updates (including some really adorable photos), and made our time away stress free because we knew our dog was in great hands!”

“My dog enjoyed his stay at Pamela and Yocheved. They are wonderful people who paid attention and cared for my puppy. They fed and gave the puppy treats as requested. The puppy slept in their bed. I have been receiving daily updates. Thank you!”

“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!”

“Steven was great with our dog. We boarded her with him for a long weekend She is a nervous girl and often barks at new people. When I dropped her off he took her leash and her treats and immediately got her to sit and calm down. During her stay with Steven he sent us photos, which I appreciate. When I picked her up she was in good spirits and wagging her tail which is always a good sign. We will definitely be using Steven's services again.”

“Sara went above and beyond in caring for my Abby for more than a week. Abby has severe separation anxiety but she really enjoyed her stay with Sara and was a happy, calm dog when I picked her up today. Sara is great!”

Holly took great care of my dog Koda! She was very sweet, understanding, and patient. I could tell she has experience catering the different dogs needs and personalities, and has the ability to accommodate them and make them comfortable. Koda is a little anxious, and I think she did great with him and made us both very comfortable! She was also very flexible when I realized I was arriving from my trip a little later than expected. Overall great experience, thank you Holly!

There are 4,473 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Needham Heights. About 91% of Needham Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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.
