“Dana was great! I needed to have my dog picked up last minute and he was able to do the drop offs smoothly. They sent great photos and updates throughout the weekend and my pup came back happy and well taken care of.”
“Our dog had such a great time with Wendy and her family!! They took such great care of him and sent updates every day we were away. If you are looking for someone to watch your pup while you’re out of town, I highly recommend Wendy!!”
“Our usual dog boarder wasn't available for a short mid-week getaway so we found Julie on Rover. She was wonderful! Julie has a lovely home with a fantastic screened porch and great flat, fenced-in yard. We met a few days before to introduce my dog to hers and share info. Julie's dog is happy and sweet and was good company for mine, in addition to Julie, while we were away. I didn't worry at all knowing our pup was in good hands. Julie even sent me a couple updates and some cute pics and a video - our dog truly had a great stay! We would definitely book Julie again. You should, too. ;)”
“Eric was great! I was taking care of my nephew's dog and had to find him a place to board at the last minute due to a death in the family. My travel plans kept changing and Eric kindly accomodated the situation. He also sent daily photos which helps to assure your dog is being well cared for. I highly recommend Eric.”
“Sarah and Ben were great! Very welcoming and felt comfortable immediately. Communication while I was away was detailed and the pics were amazing! Saiije will be back with them again”
“Audrey was so amazing with our dog! He is quite high energy and came home happily exhausted after an event-filled weekend with her. She is very attentive and takes such great care of her dog and others. 10/10!!”
“Natalie was absolutely amazing with Leo and Nala! From the very beginning, she was so intentional during our meet and greet and took the time to really get to know both of them, their personalities, and what they needed before we even handed them over to her. That meant so much to us and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Throughout their stay, Natalie sent plenty of updates and kept me in the loop, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s very clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she takes care of, and she is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. We truly have nothing but great things to say about Natalie. Leo and Nala were so well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. We will absolutely be rebooking with her!”
“This was the second time Stephen and Cecilia watched Winnie, and they were just as amazing as the first! They always keep in touch, send plenty of pictures, and make sure Winnie is happy and loved the entire time. She’s actually bored to tears now that she’s back home! I’d absolutely recommend them — not only for the great care they give to Winnie, but also for how accommodating they are with pick-up and drop-off times”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dogs, Cloe and Luna, received! They were clearly happy and comfortable, and we really appreciated all the photos and videos Casey sent us while we were away. It was really reassuring to know they were in good hands. We'd definitely leave them with her again!”
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“Dan was great with my two dogs. Very communicative and sent many updates/photos which I appreciated. Also kept me updated with what they did during the day. The dogs seemed very happy and comfortable there. Dan also did well with my senior dog who definitely has his quirks at times. Thank you!”
“Sarah was so wonderful all around -easy to communicate with, flexible, and clearly took such good care of my dog. Got photo updates through my dog's stay, it was obvious she loved staying with Sarah and her family!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience because of Aly. She communicated with us right from the start and set up a meet and greet where she asked questions about our puppy's routine, needs, and preferences. We were nervous immediately felt very comfortable leaving our brand new puppy with her. Aly sent daily updates and pictures throughout our vacation and we could tell our dog was comfortable and happy. Aly felt like an extension of the family right away and we I couldn't recommend her more. We will definitely look to have her watch our dog in the future.”
“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.”
“Paula and her family took great care of my baby. She was very responsive and understanding of his quirks. Took him to the park and for a hike which he clearly enjoyed judging from the pictures she sent. Definitely recommend Paula and would have my pup stay there again anytime.”
“I can't even count the number of times we left Marvel with Jing! Jing truly loves our dog and treats her as her own. It is such a comfort to have Jing as our go-to dog sitter - we wholeheartedly recommend!”

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.

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.
92% 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, 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 Norwood.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
