“Rebekka was an excellent sitter for our two small breed pups, and I would absolutely recommend her! She provided daily updates, photos, and videos, and she also went above and beyond our expectations - taking them to a farm to meet horses, on trail walks, and dog parks too. Rebekka adapted well to their two opposing personalities/energy levels. By the end of the week, she even had a nickname for them ("the littles") and a cozy sleeping position.”
“My dog had a great time at Natasha and Jonathan's house. She's 6 months old and this was her first time going to any sort of doggie day care, and at the end of the day she seemed very happy. Highly recommended.”
“Kimberly and her lovely family have been so welcoming to our dog Bailey. We know she is in good hands and getting lots of attention. We are so thankful to know our dog is in good hands while we are gone.”
“You couldn't get anyone any better than Wendy to sit for your pet. She's definitely an animal lover and the care my dog got with her exceeded my expectations. She took care of every aspect of my dog's needs in every way. I absolutely will contact her again to take care of my dog.”
“Luke was amazing taking care of Murphy. He updated us, and I could tell her really enjoyed spending time with Murphy. Luke also is very easy to talk to, kind and friendly person. My dog Murphy was so happy to be with him. Can’t wait for them to spend more time together! 1000% would recommend Luke with your furry friend!”
“Linda was so kind and sweet withy dog. She sent updates and pictures. She has a great dog-friendly couch my dog loved, and she got non-skid mats to make sure my dog was comfortable. My dog is elderly so can either be sleepy and peaceful or need a little extra TLC, and Linda took great care of her. She was attentive to my dog’s needs, health, and comfort. I would be happy to trust Linda with my dog’s care again!”
“We’ve used Aurora multiple times for boarding with Hondo and she’s done a great job! Hondo is always excited to go and she’s very responsive and provides lots of updates.”
“We’ve never tried Rover before, and as new MA residents navigating our way, our neighbor recommended Akhil to us for Beau’s boarding needs. He was so frightened at his last doggie daycare, but we decided to give them a try. Beau was having the time of his life! I could tell from all the pictures and videos they’ve sent to us. I felt secure knowing that my Beau was in good hands while I was away for a short time. He received all the love, brush, and cuddles. I could just tell because he was so relaxed when I took him back home with me. Thank you, Akhil and family, for letting Beau be a part of your family!”
“Our dog Eevee had such a good time staying here and playing with Igo. Wonderful to get updates on how she was doing and to see that she had a great time and lots of fresh air in the fenced backyard! Thank you for following her feeding schedule, for grooming her and brushing her teeth and taking such good care of our girl 🤗”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo took amazing care of our dog while we were away for 6 days. He’s getting older and can be a little anxious, but he was totally comfortable in their home. They sent us tons of photos too, which we loved since we missed him. I’d absolutely recommend them as dog sitters.”
“Monica was great with Champ. I would highly recommend her and will be booking with her again. She was great at keeping us informed about Champ. She also sent us pictures that help us while we were away on vacation.”
“Jing and her family treated Lola like one of their own. She kept me up to date with daily photos and messages and I felt much reassurance that Lola was as comfortable as possible. I will definitely book with her again.”
“I’m so glad Freddi was Tommy’s sitter! She took such good care of my old guy; I could tell how much he adored her and her husband when I picked him up. It was also evident in the awesome pictures they sent me every day. Tommy had his own vacation! All in all, they were great, and I can’t thank them enough. I hope I’m able to book them again the next time I have to go somewhere without my boy. Thanks, guys!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have cared for dogs of different ages and personalities throughout my life. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I’ll treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🏠🐾 Home Boarding I offer a comfortable, loving home environment for dogs 55lbs and under, 1 year and older. I keep boarding small and personal, with a maximum of two dogs at a time, so each dog receives plenty of individual attention and care. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and socialization. I’m happy to care for dogs who enjoy having other dogs around, as well as dogs who are more comfortable being the only dog in my care. Every dog has their own personality and comfort level, and I’m happy to tailor their stay to their individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around. I also have a stroller for dogs who prefer more of a pampered ride around town than a leash walk. Before accepting a new boarding dog, I prefer to have a Meet & Greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable in my home and that we’re a good fit. If an in-person meeting isn’t convenient, I’m also happy to arrange a Zoom/video call first. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️ I’m am very reliable and available for pet care on my days off, including Mondays,Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays . I can also open additional days on my calendar when I’m available. I enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. For drop-in visits, I provide care in your home and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your dog is safe and comfortable, keep doors and gates secure, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home.
“Michelle was awesome! She would constantly give us updates while she watched our dog Ginger with pictures and texts. Ginger was so happy while she was in Michelle’s care. We are so grateful she was able to watch her and 10/10 would do again! Thank you again Michelle! :D”
“Elliot and Jo were great with this trial stay for our pup, Tony. We were able to schedule a Meet & Greet promptly, and we all agreed to a one night trial stay to ensure that they could meet Tony’s needs and our expectations. We got multiple updates with photos and/or videos and they followed his instructions to a T. We’re glad to have found new, quality sitters to care for our baby when we travel!”
“Asia was WONDERFUL!! This was our first time leaving our pup Chickoo for such an extended period of time and she went above and beyond to ease my mind. She was extremely communicative, provide multiple updates with pictures daily, and answered any questions we had. Asia took care of Chickoo like he was her own and we are so thankful we found her! 10000% recommend her to anyone looking to have peace of mind while traveling.”
“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 💯”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for the past 5+ years. Experience includes fostering multiple animals for animal care centers in Boston and NYC. Now I take care of our 3 year old dog who lives with us. In our household there is my wife and I and our 3 year old spayed bernedoodle (Denali). I work from home so someone will always be there to watch over your dog. Mornings start with a walk of ~15-30 minutes followed by breakfast. Around lunch I take a quick break so dogs can go potty and usually followed with some enrichment, cuddles, and treats. Dinner is around 5:30 and followed by another walk or outdoor time in our backyard. Finally potty around 8-9PM before bedtime. Denali sleeps in her own crate. On weekends we aim to do a 1-2 hour hike in the middlesex fells. My wife and I live in a community with a large quiet backyard. Plenty of space for playing and running on leash. Our dog Denali is ~32 lbs, loves other dogs, and is very gentle.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Reading is $65

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.
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 !

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
