“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!”
“We had a great experience with Sean! It was our first time using rover and he was awesome to work with. He was super responsive and gave us daily updates and pics of our pup which we loved. Would use him again!”
“Alyson is truly amazing! She gave us updates regularly and I felt so happy knowing our dog was in a loving place! Our dog was the happiest she’s ever been after picking her up from a sitter, so I know she was really well cared for! Will definitely plan to use Alyson again for sitting!”
“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!!”
“In addition to the usual amazing taking care of our dogs, Casey wowed us (unsurprisingly) with her grace, quickness, and thoughtfulness when I messed up by not communicating the wanted pickup date. We worked fast to find a solution to take good care of the dogs until the end, and my husband and I are yet again extremely grateful for Casey and the top notch service she provides. Thank you, Casey.”
“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”
“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!”
“Awesome down to Earth couple. My dog Luna had a rough first night and they were nothing but kind to her, understanding her nerves in a new home. Luna warmed up to them after the first night and they sent me photos throughout the trip which comforted me. Highly recommend Stephen and Cece!”
“Outstanding experience with Sarah, Chris and their family. Duke is an active 5 month old GSD who loved his time in Dedham. Sarah's communication and overall professionalism was superior. Highly recommend.”
“Debbie and Kirk are the best! They were so accommodating when we had to start boarding earlier because our flights got changed. Our dog Nala loves them and is always happy to stay there. Thanks so much.”
““Excellent”experience with Su. He gave daily updates with photos. Really cared about Koda and reached out when things came out. Highly recommended him to family and friends. Definitely use him again !! Thanks for taking good care of our dog.”
“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.”
“Paula was great! She responded quickly and communicated with us daily. She sent 10-15 pictures each day and we could see our corgi having fun of her walks. Our corgi came home happy. We will absolutely use Paula in the future! Did we mention that she was great!”
“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.”
“Jess was amazing with Coco! Made me feel super comfortable before dropping her off, was accommodating to Coco’s nuances, and provided updates throughout her stay! Coco took to Jess and her family immediately, and loved playing with the other dogs! Highly recommend :)”
“Kira was a great sitter. This was Loki's first ever long stay and second time with Kira after a test run. They took wonderful care of him. Loki had a great time, he seemed happy and enjoying the company of Kira's family and other dogs. We were happy to see him in good health :-)”

Julie was great with Bowie! She sent pictures and videos every day and was always quick to respond. She was also incredibly accommodating when our schedule changed, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Bowie with her. Would definitely use Julie again and highly recommend her!
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!
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!
Sean was easy to communicate with, always very responsive to messages, and flexible to accommodate scheduling factors. I appreciated his updates while Jenna was in his care and the overall ease of the process with him. I also really appreciate that he got Jenna out for walks and has a fenced in backyard that she was able to play in.
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!
Audrey did a great job with Louie. We had to travel out of state and Louie got sick during his stay. She offered to take him to the vet/ER and had to closely monitor him. It was a super stressful thing to be so far away and not be able to come back to get him, thank you Audrey for taking good care of Louie and keeping me updated on his condition.
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 for Dog Boarding in Norwood on Rover is $86.58 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,400 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 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 Norwood 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 Norwood 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 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.
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 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.
