“Meli is a fantastic sitter! She took awesome care of my pup, Chunk. I really enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout the day. It was a comfort knowing that he was in good hands. You can tell that she is very passionate about animals!”
“We first met Briana before leaving our 2 dogs, and we knew immediately that she was the caring, dog loving person others have commented about. So, we ended up leaving our 2 dogs with Briana for a long weekend. The drop off was amazing, as the dogs were welcomed as if they lived there. Throughout the weekend we received pictures, and when we picked them up, it was clear that they had a great time. We highly recommend Briana, and look forward to the next time she will watch our dogs!”
“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.”
“Gabriel was super responsive and communicative. This was our first time boarding our older adopted beagle. Gabriel worked with him to socialize him with the other dogs and made him very comfortable during his stay. I would recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
“Melissa was great ! My two Golden Retrievers had such a great time and loved being around the kids. They came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they were in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Liliya and her family were so sweet and took care of our Callie during our wedding weekend. We had only ever left her with friends or family before, so we were a bit nervous about leaving her with strangers. They sent photos everyday and showed Callie having a great time. Would 100% ask them to watch her again!”
“Julia was great! There was easy communication and flexibility for pick up and drop off. She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure our dog was well cared for!”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“Maeve greets Leo like he is her family member! He happily runs in and is at home immediately. She texts me photos every day and is accomodating when my drop off and pick up times are in flux. Great dog sitter!”
“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 :)”
“Julie was so great with our dog Siena. Siena can be a bit anxious, and Julie was so caring and great with her and made her feel right at home. Great communicator, got lovely pictures and updates while we were away, we couldn’t be happier with Julie!”
“Lauren is absolutely amazing! Nellie had the best time with her dogs and didn’t want to leave, she is know the only person I trust to watch my girl when I’m away. She kept me updated with how Nellie was doing, what they got up to and sent me pictures and videos as well.”
“We felt very comfortable and secure leaving our senior dog with Bridget for a long weekend. Bridget was highly communicative and kind. Marbles has a couple specialized needs that she easily accommodated (i.e., twice daily pill administration and avoidance of other dogs). Marbles tends to be anxious when without us but I could tell she felt at ease with Bridget from the pictures that she shared with us. We will rebook for sure!”
“Nancy took amazing care of our dogs for almost 2 weeks while we were away in Europe. She communicated to us daily with photos to match her captions, letting us know they were doing well (they are old and not in the best of health). We were so grateful she could take them a month before we were to leave (we had a family emergency so needed a back up plan) especially during the holiday season! She was so thoughtful to help us out and go to the store when we neglected to pack their doggie treats. We highly recommend Nancy - she treated our dogs as if they were her own! ❤️”
“Elaine is wonderful! She took great care of our 15 month old Golden, Mia. Mia came back home looking happy and exhausted from all the play with her other furry friends. It was our first time leaving Mia for 5 days and Elaine really made us enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our baby. She was always sending us updates and pictures and is also quick to respond to our questions. We are so happy we found Elaine on Rover and would highly recommend to other pet parents!”
“We are so grateful for Kira!! Bailey is so excited the second we pull into her driveway. He is completely exhausted from all the running and playing with other dogs in her big backyard. It is such a relief to know he is loved and well cared for while we are away.”
“Svetlana welcomed S. Punki into her family so that we felt like he was on a vacation too! We got daily feedback, with photos, videos, and messages. Svetlana asked questions when she wasn't sure, and was kind and caring. We could not ask for more. I definitely recommend Svetlana and hope to leave S. Punki in her care when we travel again.”
“Vignesh was very flexible with timing which is a big big plus. He took great care of Kody and shared pics quite often. He kept is updated on Kody progress throughout his stay. All and all a great host and we would definitely be leaving Kody with Vignesh again.”
“This was the first time Mliss watched my nervous dog and he did great. Good communication with updates and pics each morning. I’ll definitely book with her again.”

Gabriel was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving our pet in his care. He was incredibly attentive, caring, and responsible, and we could tell that our dog was happy, comfortable, and genuinely well cared for. He kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear that he truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would 100% trust Gabriel with our dog again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sophia was great! My dog, Bailey, needed special care due to a wound on her leg, and Sophia graciously agreed to apply wipes and give her medication on a regular basis... which I can imagine was dicey at times because Bailey does not like people touching her paws. Though even wearing her cone, Bailey appeared happy in all the photos. Sophia was super flexible about timing and did not mind at all when drop off was delayed because of a last-minute vet visit. She and her husband both seemed like very nice people, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Bailey again.
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!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Northborough on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,682 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Northborough. 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 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.
