“Briana was so great with our anxious 5 year old boxer. She sent us updates and pictures everyday while he stayed with her for a week. Highly recommend Briana to anyone looking for someone to care for your pet. We will definitely use her again!”
“Elaine and her family are wonderful. We just started our relationship with Elaine and Ruby gets excited when she knows she going for a stay and loves being with them. Thank you to Rover for making it possible to find wonderful, caring people like Elaine and her husband to take such great care of our "princess".”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”
“We were so happy with Melissa and Axel. They took great care of our dog, sent us pictures and updates and their kids gave our dog all the love. We will definitely be rebooking.”

“Phillip took such great care of our energetic dog Moose! He made sure all the dogs got along well and his fenced in yard is perfect for dogs who love to play. We would trust bringing Moose back at any time and are really lucky to have found Phillip so we could feel comfortable with a weekend away knowing Moose was having so much fun!”
“Lingwen was AMAZING! She made Nico feel super comfortable at her home and welcomed. Lingwen sent updates and pictures of Nico thought out the stay which we loved. Thank you much again for caring for Nico! If you’re looking for a sitter, do not hesitate to book her. She’s the best :)”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”

“Absolutely fantastic experience with boarding! Vignesh took wonderful care of Mylo while I was away, sending daily updates including texts, photos, and even videos. This was my first time using Rover to board Mylo, who is a large breed (Bernese Mountain Dog). I was pleased that Mylo seemed incredibly comfortable with Vignesh and his family, and I brought him back home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Vignesh for anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northborough
It’s never easy to leave your dog behind when traveling, but Briana made the experience so much easier. I was very pleased with her communication and loved receiving daily pictures. Knowing that my dog was in good hands gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Briana!
Had a great experience boarding my dog with Gabriel. He made himself available for a meet and greet ahead of time to understand my dog’s needs and temperament. He also sent videos and pictures during her stay. The only thing is that when I picked her up she was extremely thirsty to the point I had to give her water in the car on the ride back, but I can’t confirm if that was because of water not being available there or because of the heat warning.
Chelsea goes above and beyond with our Lumos. He loves staying with her and is well cared for and loved. We don't worry at all when we are on vacation and Lumos is with Chelsea. We love receiving photos of him every day. Highly recommend Chelsea (and her pup, Paisley!)
Melissa is wonderful! We liked her so much that we rebooked with her within a week of picking up our Charlie after a 3 week stay. Charlie had just been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, so we were a little reticent to leave him. Melissa was nothing short of a dog whisperer! She knew just what to do! She sent photos every day, which really put us at ease. Don’t hesitate to leave your fur baby with Melissa! She’s the best!!
Hannah is fantastic! Our dog is anxious around strangers and new dogs, and this was the first time using Rover. Hannah did a great job at easing our minds and sent us a lot of pictures of Loena enjoying herself. I highly recommend her and if needed we will bring Loena again to Hannah!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Northborough on Rover is $55.5 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 .

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 Northborough 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 Northborough 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 Northborough 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 Northborough.
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 Northborough 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.
