“Peppa is a small Chihuahua and can be shy and cautious with new people, but Michael handled her with great patience and understanding. He was able to gain her trust the very same day, which truly impressed me. He kept us updated with pictures almost every day, and it was wonderful to see that she felt comfortable enough to go outside and even play with his dog. He made sure she was safe and at ease at all times, which gave me real peace of mind. I truly appreciate the care and effort he put into looking after her. I would definitely book with him again 💯. Great service!”

“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.

I highly recommend Gabrielle and look forward to seeing him again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Paxton
This was my first time using Pat as a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have been happier. I have a senior dog who is very anxious in new situations. She stayed with Pat for two nights, and Pat made the experience easy on her and me! She provided feedback frequently to let me know that Lucy was warming up to her and sent pictures to show me that she was feeling at home in Pat’s home. Highly recommend!
Neeru and her family watched our 1.5 year old mini-poodle for one week and were absolutely wonderful. Neeru sent us plenty of pictures for peace of mind, and each picture proved that our puppy was well cared for, even pampered. We will definitely book with Neeru again and would recommend her services to anyone.
Lindsey was great! She gave us consistent updates throughout the week while we were away. She allowed us to do a meet and greet prior to leaving our dog with her. That allowed us to make sure it was a good fit! We had such a relaxing vacation knowing our pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Paxton is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $77 per night.

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.
95% of sitters in Paxton 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 Paxton 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 Paxton.
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 Paxton 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.
