“Our dog loved staying at Sean's house! He was great at communicating to set up the booking. He also sent adorable photos each day so we were able to enjoy our trip without worry.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Julie! She took care of my two dogs for a week while I was away for work, and she was absolutely wonderful. She sent me photos and videos every day, keeping me updated on how my pups were doing, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear they were happy, relaxed, and getting lots of love and attention. My dogs are like my children, and I felt completely confident leaving them in her care. I came home to two very content pups and a clean, well-cared-for home. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person to take care of their pups! Thank you Julie!”
“They are a great team. They cared very well for my dog and made him feel at home. They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Took lots a great pictures. A very pleasant and positive experience with Sarah and Ben. I’m sure I’ll use them again.”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Calvin did a terrific job watching our dog recently! He is very kind and accommodating! We met for a Meet and Greet prior to the stay, and he was enthusiastic and comfortable with us and our pup. His communication through pictures and texts was reassuring while we were away. Great experience overall!”
“Highly recommend Yasmine!! ❤️ She was amazing!! We got updates throughout our dog’s stay and pictures. She was quick to respond and very flexible. She went above and beyond for our pup.”
“My dog had a great time with Kira and her family and I highly recommend dog boarding here. Leo warmed up to them fast and it was very reassuring with the great communication Kira had with me plus nice pictures of my dog’s experience there. Leo came home happy and excited he made so many dog and people friends!”
“I would highly recommend Julie. She watched my golden retriever for a weekend while I was out of town. She send frequent updates and photos which I loved. Julie clearly loves dogs very much and that is evident in how well she takes care of them.”
“Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!”
“Rylee was great! She gave care and attention to my cats while we were away. They seemed really happy and I loved the pictures I received. Highly recommend Rylee for your pet sitting needs”
“Brianne was great with my dog. She was conscientious and communicative, and I appreciated her location and timing flexibility when our flight was delayed. Would definitely book again.”

“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.”
“Andrew and Heidi were SO fantastic with Ellie. I received updates and pictures on how Ellie was doing! She came back so exhausted - I know she had the best time during her stay with them. I would HIGHLY recommend using Andrew and Heidi if you need your dog taken care of. They treated her like she was part of their family - they were exceptional!”
“Arianna took great care of my pup for two weeks while I was out of the country. She sent pictures daily and was great about keeping me up to speed about any health issues. Will contract her again for my next trip”
“Courtney provided a safe, fun stay for my dog Ellie! She can be slow to warm up to new people but Courtney worked to make her feel comfortable as quickly as possible and stayed in contact the whole time.”
“Zoe was fabulous. I was in a jam last minute to find a sitter and she responded right away and was able to watch my dog for 4 days while I was away on vacation. I was nervous that my dog would not respond well to her larger dog, but her dog was so gentle with mine, they were able to be together in the yard and in the house, no problems.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
Julie is fantastic!! We were a little nervous boarding our dog as he usually stays with family when we are away. Julie immediately put our concerns to rest. She is so caring and knowledgeable, and she sent us daily updates with photos and videos of Cooper. She was also very accommodating when our flight home was cancelled due to bad weather. We can't recommend her highly enough!!
We left our lab-beagle mix with Faith for about 10 days. Our dog, while very sweet at home, can be a handful at walks since she can be very stubborn when she sniffs food, and is also easily freaked out by bikes etc.. She took immediately to Faith, and Faith took amazing care of her, handling her well on walks, giving her cuddles, keeping her company all day long, having her even sleep in her bed, and letting her use the fenced in yard. It was a great relief to have her so well taking care of while we were travelling, much less stressful for her than boarding her at a kennel would have been. I can highly recommend Faith!
Rudy stayed with Minglu and Yulin for 7 days to board while we were on vacation. He was well loved and cared for. I got updates everyday, sometimes multiple times a day with pics of him having a ball with his friends. He also looked and smelled great when I picked him up!
Our dog just had a wonderful stay with Maria and John! They are very caring people who immediately welcomed Fenway into their home. I was most impressed with their communication while we were away, and with their focus on Fenway’s safety when he was being watched by them!
Debbie took great care of our dog, Sam recently. She has such a sweet and calm nature that put Sam at ease and she shared pics of Sam so we could see how he was doing. I was really impressed that she even played one of Sam’s favorite games with him, which I know made Sam happy as it did us as well.
Lauren was awesome! She made sure Archie felt comfortable the second he arrived and allowed him time to adjust to his new environment. Her and her family walked Archie, provided lots of attention to him, and he had the added bonus of playing with their dog Ollie. You can tell they really cared for him. Highly recommend.
My dog Bhalu was very happy living with Giovanni his dog -Neron as well his family. In fact he learned a lot from Neron. They played at their backyard and became friends. Giovanni poured out tremendous love on Bhalu. I would recommend anyone who wants boarding for their dog to go to Giovanni.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Norwood is $87 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $67 and $107 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,370 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Norwood. 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 Norwood 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 Norwood 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 Norwood.
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 Norwood 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.
