“Rebekah was very patient and kind with my very stressed and grouchy Shih Tzu. He’s 15 and we’d just traveled up from Florida. We arrived late in the evening and she told us not to worry. She sent pictures and kept me informed on how my fur baby was doing. I would highly recommend using Rebekah!”

“Kevin was amazing! This was our first time leaving Teddy with Kevin and he made it very easy to feel comfortable. He sent pictures of Teddy throughout the day and a progress report. Thank you Kevin!”

“I can’t express how grateful I am that we Kathleen. It was the perfect environment for my dog. She and her very nice family took such good care of him that he felt at home. She also sent us many updates and photos so I knew he was happy and safe. I highly recommend her and would rebook! Thank you so much to Kathleen and family because of your great care I didn’t have to worry about him at all!”

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats, and I’ve also provided intensive care for my own dog following a leg injury, including medication, monitoring, and following veterinary care instructions. I currently have two very loving, social dogs who enjoy meeting both people and other animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive, and loving care while they’re with me. I work a flexible client-based schedule that allows me to check in on pets throughout the day. I’m able to make visits between clients and provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. I’m also available for boarding and can accommodate different routines based on each pet’s individual needs. My home is set up with pet safety and comfort in mind. I keep medications, food, and anything potentially harmful safely out of reach. I use separate food dishes and feeding areas for guest pets and my own dogs to help prevent food related conflicts. I also have dog gates throughout the home so pets can be safely separated when needed, along with a spacious area where they can play and relax. My two dogs are very friendly and enjoy the company of both people and other animals.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15! I’ve had pets all my life growing up though! My neighbors, friends, and family, have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and give cuddles to their pups! I currently am working part time as I just started a new job, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup and get them some exercise! My home has a fenced in dog park that i’m sure your dog would love to run around in and get some energy out! If your dog is better on a leash and loves to walk and sniff around your area I am happy to do that as well! I just want to be able to give your pup a safe and happy visit 😊
“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Melissa is AWESOME! Jagger always has a blast. He runs right to her when she picks him up. I feel very comfortable knowing Jagger is with her, safe, and having so much fun!!!”

“Michelle was awesome with both my dogs. I was nervous leaving them for so long but she made sure she sent plenty of pictures and updates to reassure me. She went out of her way to make sure they would be as comfortable as they would be at home. I will definitely be rebooking with her for any future trips I take!”

“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”

“Joseph was amazing! Joseph went above and beyond taking care of my two dogs. He sent me photos and video’s daily and alerted me when my Georgia was scratching a bit and followed up by cleaning her ears and then bathed them. I would absolutely recommend Joseph and his dogs are the sweetest.”

“First time booking with Stacey and she answered all the questions we had about leaving our dog with her. Very friendly and responsive. Stacey took very good care of our dog”

Our goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. We are generally busy during the weekdays, but we have plenty of availability from Friday through Monday. This makes us especially flexible for weekend boarding, extended stays, and overnight care. We’re happy to work around your dog’s normal routine and provide the consistency, attention, and care they’re used to while you’re away. We want every dog staying with us to feel like they’re at a second home. We provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities for walks and relaxation. We will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, and other preferences. We also understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so we’re happy to provide updates and photos throughout their stay
“It was such a great experience having Mike and Craig dog sit for us! They are very communicative and responsive. They were able to accommodate our changes in schedule and Omaha was such a gracious host. 10/10 would recommend!!!”

“Pat did so amazing with our 4 month old puppy! She watched him at her house during our wedding weekend, and we felt 100% comfortable that he was safe and having a great time. I know Howie is excited to go back to his hikes and playing with Pat for our next trip!”

“I felt very confident that Sassy would be well taken care of at Nadias and she was. I will definitely use her again in the future. She was very communicative sent pictures. Best of all I think Sassy had a ball. She enjoyed playing w/Nadia's 2 dogs. And she loved having Nadia's kids to play with also. She has a big beautiful back yard for the dogs to play in. I highly recommend Nadia.”

“I am so grateful for Isabel's care of Oliver! Oliver was in good hands with her. Isabel helped take care of Oliver during a difficult time of my life. I feel incredibly blessed to have had a petsitter like her and did not need to worry about Oliver during my sickness. She was very responsive and great to work with. Oliver always comes back happy and healthy.”

“So this is the first time using rover, this was a great experience. Linda and Chris were fantastic with our pups, they sent great pictures of the dogs playing. Dogs were very happy. We will definitely be using their services again.”


“Oscar loves Jessica, and her four-legged pack! He was a very happy puppy, when I picked him up. I’m very grateful that she didn’t shy away from watching such a young pup.”

About: We have been together for more than 5 years and share our home with beloved pets. Growing up, Dirk was a vet tech, and his mother, a veterinarian, raised over 15 animals. Mari grew up with a sweet Yorkie. Thanks to our backgrounds, we have extensive experience with pets. To us, pets are more than just animals—they are our children. We will always treat your furry family members with the exact same love and respect that we show our own. While we are currently experiencing an empty nest and missing that daily companionship, we would love the opportunity to care for your pets, meet your needs, and share our love. Please let us know if you are interested, as we would absolutely love to help! Our family is ready to welcome your pet! Dirk is a student at the Naval War College with a very flexible schedule. Our 15-year-old son is in high school and always up for an adventure, while Mari is a stay-at-home mom from Japan who has plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's needs. Because we all love animals, pet care will be a true family team effort! Dirk loves to give plenty of affection, but he is also happy to play rough-and-tumble if your dog prefers active play. Our home features a fully enclosed, 1/3-acre backyard where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. We also have access to great nearby walking areas for pets who love to get out and explore. Our family can easily adapt to various activity levels, personalities, and daily routines.

I appreciate Rebekah looking after my two girls. This was my first time using Rover and Rebekah put me at ease. She was great with communication, photos, video and took great care of my dogs. They even smelled great and were soft and clean when I picked them up after a long flight which I appreciated so much! I will be using Rebekah again.

Savanna took care of our 2 frenchies over memorial day weekend! It was our first time leaving them with a sitter so we were naturally nervous. She was very communicative and attentive to their needs which put us fully at ease! She had no problem dealing with their quirks and cleaning up after them- They can be a handful as they were rescues. We will absolutely reach out to rebook with her in the future.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in New Bedford is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $67 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 884 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across New Bedford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in New Bedford can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their New Bedford home-away-from-home, 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 New Bedford.
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 New Bedford 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 , 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 .
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.
