“Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Briana took amazing care of our pup Chase for nine days in June 2021 and we couldn't be more grateful! She is an all-around dog expert, and the friendliest person you'll meet. Briana took the time to send us daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which eased our anxiety (it's our first time away from our first dog) and proved that we chose the right person for the job. FIVE STARS all the way !!!”
“I left my Pug with Gabrielle on a Sunday to Tuesday. Gabrielle was very conscientious, answered all questions, listened well and was very nice to both Wilbur and me. He obviously has a nice way with dogs and sent photos and video of Wilbur at random times. Wilbur was well taken care of, walked dependably, and was happy with Gabrielle and co. I highly recommend Gabrielle and look forward to seeing him again!”
“Elaine is a wonderful, loving person. As soon as we met I knew she would care for Lucy the way we do. Lucy spent the night and was with Elaine's dog. They seemed to have a good time together. I got pictures and updates on my pup often from Elaine. When Lucy got home she was exhausted, but clearly happy. I will contact Elaine again through Rover.com the next time we have a need for Lucy to hang with another family for a while. THANK YOU ELAINE!!!”
“Kira and her husband were super nice and thoughtful with our dogs. They took very good care of them and made sure they had fun. Kira sent me pictures during the time my dogs were with her. I really appreciate her help and look forward to leaving my dogs with her next time I need to leave town.”
“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Mellisa and her family. My dog stayed twice with them and both times I was getting back happy and satisfied pet. Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”

“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Titus left Erica's house so happy and relaxed for the whole day after. She sent many pictures and videos throughout his stay and made me feel better about leaving him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsive dog sitter.”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Vignesh from the start. He took excellent care of Olive and was very attentive to her needs. When Olive had an upset tummy, prepared boiled chicken and rice for her, which we really appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Olive was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend him and would be happy to have Olive stay with him again in the future.”
“Aline was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout the entire time. We really appreciated all the photos she sent—they showed how happy and comfortable Coco was. She paid attention to every detail and made sure our baby was safe and happy the whole time. Coco had such a great time with her! I will definitely book Aline again in the future. Thank you so much, Aline!”

“As I was setting up the booking, Jacqueline gave me great confidence in her ability to take care of my doggos through her messages. During drop off, Jacqueline and her daughter were very thorough and very professional. During my dogs stay, I would text her to see how were things going and she would reply quickly with texts and pictures.”
“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Hugo and Julia. Both my dogs were very well taken care of. Hugo and Julia gave daily updates on their well being. They were very attentive and caring!!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Northborough on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,772 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.
91% 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.
