“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!”
“Our dog Sara had an absolutely fabulous time at Judy's home. Judy is so friendly, and her dog Rosie became our dog's best friend instantly! There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor space for dogs to roam around, and lots of toys. We're so thankful for Judy and her wonderful doggie care!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered
“Krista and Henry were awesome with our pit bull mix Barney. They have a lot of experience with rescues, so we felt that he was in good hands. They sent us photos and videos to keep us updated. Barney was happy and had a great time lounging in the sun and playing. Would recommend and we plan to rebook in the future!”
“Bethany was very nice when it came to watching Bublé . She was responsive and was able to be flexible with me . She provided updates and pics and ensured the safety of my pup. I Would book her again in the future.”
“Teddie just came back from a sleepover with Aga and it went well. She sent pictures of him playing with a new furry friend and it looked like they were having a great time. We are very happy - Aga is great at communicating and we feel Teddie is in good hands.”
“Cathy and her family were great! They were very friendly, welcoming to our dog, communicative and thoughtful. They offered some of their dog's food when we under-measured for the week and sent a daily update. Bowie looked like he had a great time playing fetch in their yard and playing with Brady! Thank you for taking care of him!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous to leave Titan with someone new. But Peter put my mind at ease right away. He took such great care of Titan, sending me daily pictures and videos with updates that made me smile. It turns out I was nervous for nothing — Titan was happy, comfortable, and clearly enjoyed his time with Peter. I’m so grateful for the care and attention he gave, and I would absolutely book with him 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.”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”
“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!”
“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! ❤️”
“Meghan and Souvik took great care of Remy, clearly treating her as one of their family. They sent daily updates and I was completely confident that she was safe, happy, and well cared for. Will definitely have Remy stay with them again when we need dog sitting.”
“Melissa was phenomenal! Provided wonderful pictures and updates all weekend, and was very responsive! Gus had so much fun playing with her pups, and came home a very happy tired boy! I would highly recommended Melissa!”
“Alexandra took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. And I really appreciated all the pictures & video of Harry playing with his new fur friends!! He literally was smiling in the pictures ?. I will definitely book with Alex again in the future.”
“Thank you so much for taking Evie on last minute!! She seems like she had a great time and I really loved the set up you had for the dogs. She’s nice and tired now! We’ll definitely contact you guys again in the future when we need someone to watch her :)”

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!!

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,797 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Northborough. About 90% of Northborough sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
