“I have never seen my dog so happy to not be with me! I'm trying to not take it personally and just be happy that we've found such wonderful care for our girl. I can't thank you enough.”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Man and Zhen! I could tell she was well cared for and loved on through their check ins and photos. I really appreciated their flexibility and communication. We aren't local but if we're ever back in the area would definitely use them again and would recommend!”
“Yang was absolutely amazing watching Tormund. She went above and beyond what I expected from my first time using Rover. She's going to be the first person I go to for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Hannah is wonderful! Our dog, Chente, loves staying with her. She is responsive, professional, and always send photos of our dog on their walks or in her house. Will definitely book again.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber were so welcoming from our very first meet and greet that we felt Bentley would be in great hands. During our trip we received great photos of Bentley enjoying his time with Kyber, as they quickly became best buds. We look forward to having Bentley visit again with Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber.”
“Xiuping and her family took care of my dog over the weekend for me- it was such a pleasure! My dog had a great time and the communication was so smooth and pleasant. I will book again!”
“Another amazing stay! They took such great care of Oakley. We had such peace of mind while we were away and really appreciated the check ins and all the pictures that were sent our way. Can’t recommend them enough and am happy to have found a trusted sitter for our pup.”
“Sahana was the best! Kept us updated the entire time and was extremely understanding. She made sure our pup was comfortable and made her feel right at home!! And Cinnamon was a great friend to our little pup as well. Will definitely rebook!”
“Luke has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Murphy. This was our pup’s second stay with him, and it is clear how much he genuinely cares. Our dog loves him and always comes home happy, relaxed, and well looked after. Luke communicates clearly, sends updates, and creates a welcoming environment. It gives tremendous peace of mind knowing our dog is safe and enjoying his time while we are away. Highly recommend Luke for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“Our pets recently stayed with Nicole, and they loved being with her. Nicole sent updates and photos while we traveled which showed how much they were relaxed and enjoying their time with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a someone to care for their pets while traveling.”
“Fantastic dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my dog and sent daily photos that showed how happy and relaxed he was. Her dog is very friendly and welcoming, and the two got along great. I felt confident that my dog was in gods hands and would definitely use their services again.”
“Manny had THE BEST time with Marcia and family for his first overnight away from home. Marcia took such great care of Manny. I appreciated the daily summary and picture and video updates throughout. Marcia will be my first choice for any future dog sitting needs.”
“We boarded our dog and cat for a week. Likun is very experienced and attentive in taking care of both cats and dogs. We received daily updates and she also replied to our messages very promptly. Her Border Collie is so sweet and gentil. Our puppy was really happy she has a mature big sister and perfect playmate! The home is well equipped to take care of multiple pets and her backyard is perfect for dogs to play in.”
“Wagner had a good first stay with Gienna and Maggy. Gienna was great at providing updates with photos during the stay, and we feel very comfortable leaving Wagner for an overnight stay next month.”
“Chanel was amazing with my elderly dog, who is a kind of persnickety old lady. She sent pics regularly (including her very cute toddler son "helping" with a walk) and let me know everything was going well. She was patient and flexible with scheduling and made me feel completely at ease boarding my beloved pup with her. I would love to bring my dog back to stay with Chanel in the future!”
“We left our 10 month old puppy with Elizabeth and Neil for a week! She had the best time! We received multiple pictures and videos each day. She was well cared for and is still recovering from her visit. She’s exhausted from all the playing. I can’t recommend Elizabeth and Neil enough. They are the best in this business. You walk in as a stranger and walk out as friends. They are the kindest and most caring people I know that truly go above and beyond! If you are looking for care for your pup… they are the ones to choose. ❤️🙌🏼”
“Yenny and her family where extremely amazing 🥰 my Winnie was happy being around them for being her first time spending the night out of her comfort 🩷🫶🏼 she did well I will definitely book again in near future with yenny. Definitely recommend her 💯”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Reading
Our dog, Bailey, had a wonderful time with Mariia & Mikhail – it was very clear from all the photos! We were away for almost two weeks and were initially a little nervous to leave Bailey for so long. Their communication and adorable photos of Bailey having fun, getting a lot of attention, and taking walks put us at ease and made our hearts sing. Our Bailey is 14 years old, so she has some walking limitations, and she has to take medication. Mariia & Mikhail handled everything like pros, and we truly don’t think she could have been in better hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to leave their pet with friendly, responsible, and communicative sitters.
Halle had an excellent time with Luke again! She went on hikes & went for swims, and got lots of pets & belly rubs. I cannot speak highly enough for the superb care & attention that Luke provided her. We had a great / stress-free weekend knowing that Halle was having a great weekend too. Halle's already looking forward to her next stay with Luke!
Marcia is spectacular. She offers everything you hope for when leaving your pup. It’s our first time with her and the 3rd place I’ve tried with my wheaten because of his anxiety. He did really well and found himself a second home where his fun, playful side shone. I highly recommend Marcia. Thank you Marcia. 🙏
Heather took great care of my goldendoodle (Riva) for a weekend. Heather was very communicative and shared pictures and updates throughout the stay, and it was comforting to see Riva looking so relaxed and at home. She seemed to fit right into Heather's family! I would definitely recommend Heather to others.
Everything went absolutely wonderfully with Olivia and Adam. We left our dog Chelsie with them for a long stay of about 2.5 weeks, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chelsie can be a bit anxious when staying with someone new, and to be honest, we were anxious too. We know all the little quirks and routines of our dog, but of course it’s impossible to explain every tiny detail ahead of time. Still, they handled everything incredibly well and made her feel comfortable very quickly. They constantly sent photos and updates, which I was extremely grateful for because it allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. It was very clear from the updates that Chelsie was happy, comfortable, and having her own little vacation. At one point we joked that she might not even want to come back home after staying with them. Highly recommend them, especially if you’re nervous about leaving your dog for a longer stay.
Vibutesh took really good care of Ori during a last minute booking we had. He sent us frequent updates and accomodated all of our requests for Ori. He was also very flexible with timings and such. I highly recommend Vibutesh and would definitely book him again for Ori !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Reading on Rover is $73.85 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 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 September 2026, there are 3,879 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Reading. 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.
92% of Reading 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 Reading 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 Reading 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 Reading.
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 Reading 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.
