“Rebeca was amazing with our dog Maggie! She sent pics and updates throughout the week, and we were able to relax knowing she was in great hands! We’ll absolutely hire Rebeca again in the future!”
“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”
“"It's as if she never left!" - Our dog Bella has stayed with Rob several times, and was delighted to be back. Rob and his family take great care of her (walks, feeding, treats, loving) and make her feel a part of both the people and dog families!”
“So grateful for how good they took care of our fur baby 🥹 Had some delays with our flight and they were so understanding! Igo is so adorable and I’m so happy Kai had a friend to play with!”
“Rose was amazing!!! Professional, yet we felt like we left our fur baby with family! Rose sent numerous pictures of Noelle throughout her stay. We have already started thinking of our next vacation because we now have a safe reliable place for our large dog! Highly recommend Rose!!”
“Paul and Megan were absolutely wonderful with my dog Gus. As an anxious rescue dog, he can be hesitant in new situations and around new people, but they showed so much patience, kindness, and understanding that he quickly seemed to feel at ease with them. I’m incredibly grateful for the love and attention they gave him and would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Elizabeth and Neil!! Charley had so much fun playing with Percy and his pawrents sent me numerous updates, pictures and video during her stay. I know she was well cared for and loved while she was with them. Charley was giving Percy kisses when she left, we will definitely be booking again.”
“Chanel was very responsive and sent lots of photos throughout the weekend. Making sure I knew the dogs were happy! The dogs came back so happy from our trip and that was so great to see!”
“Luciana and her family were amazing! This was the first time we were leaving our puppy with a dog sitter and Luciana made me feel very comfortable with the process. She invited us over to see the location and meet our dog, she sent many pictures through the day, and let us know how he was doing and behaving. Zuko came back very happy and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Jessica is amazing as always one of the best sitters we have ever had, tons of photos, super attentive to our dogs needs, and our dog is always so happy the whole time there! Would recommend every time!”
“Russell had a marvelous time with Zwany and Leandro. They were very communicative and provided a loving home for our pup while we were away. We will be repeat customers for sure!”
“We can't thank Yesika enough for the amazing care she provided for Daisy while we were on family vacation for 10 days! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in the best hands. Daisy came home happy, healthy and clearly well-loved! One of the many things we loved was Yesika' well thought-out set up, including a spacious and securely fenced yard where Daisy and her new friends could play and explore safely. It was clear that Yesika treated Daisy like one of her own, providing plenty of attention, playtime and care. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while being away. If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your furry family members, Yesika is the best! We could not recommend her more highly and will definitely trust her with Daisy again in the future!”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“I am so happy Martha was available to take care of Lambo for a few days while I went on vacation for my birthday over the weekend. She was amazingly, compassionate and attentive to Lambo’s needs. Martha cleaned those hard to remove eye gunk that gets stuck in his hair for me. Sent lots of updates. I was able to have a great time away knowing Lambo was in such great care. I will continue booking Martha whenever she’s available. Thank you Martha, you’re awesome!’nn”
“Guillermo is fantastic. He was attentive to our old pup and wonderfully responsive to us. He is kind and calm, and it was clear our dog felt so comfortable and content. Our dog had an upset stomach and Guillermo was gracious and amazing at taking the extra steps to give him canned food and medicine. He sent great updates and pictures, I wish I had found him sooner and look forward to having him care for our dog again.”

Expresso had a great time boarding with Mariia and Mikhail! She seemed to love playing with their dog, and she was happy and confident when I returned. She is a high energy dog who loves to play with other large dogs, so it seems like their dog was a great companion for her. I really appreciate that they took such good care of her.
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. 🙏
Mandy is cheerful and easy-going. She provided photos of my pet regularly and confirmed that meals were consumed (since our pet refuses to eat at times) and exercise was given. The fenced yard and deck are ample for fresh air breaks and Ruby seemed very much at home during her stay.
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.
