About: With over nine years of experience in pet sitting, I have honed my ability to provide outstanding care for animals. I am committed to dedicating the necessary time and patience to any pet that requires additional attention and affection. As a former dog owner, I would be delighted to have the opportunity to care for your beloved furry companion. I have recently made the decision to transition into a career in Real Estate, and I now enjoy a flexible schedule. I am available during the mornings and late afternoons, with full availability on weekends. I offer an open-concept home with ample space for your pet to feel comfortable. Additionally, I have a large, fenced yard that provides plenty of room for your pet to run, play, and explore.
“Brittany was amazing looking after Charlie for a night. She was in constant communication and gave us updates on how she was doing. Also added a lot of pictures for us to enjoy and see how she was 10/10 would have her dog sit again.”
“We needed a last minute sitter for our pup, Hank. We're so glad we found Crystal and her family. Hank had a blast playing with the other dogs and got himself lots of snuggles. He came home happy and exhausted!”
“Amazing! Kristen and Tim are incredible. I knew Gordon was in good hands for the weekend he was with them. I was sent pictures and updates on how he was the whole time which set my heart at ease. Would absolutely use again. Thank you!”
“Louie, our English springer spaniel, loved his time in Wanyi’s home. He was well taken care of, had lots of activities and exercise and was treated like a member of her family. She sent us pictures and updates every day. We are thrilled with our experience. We highly recommend Wanyi!!!!”
“Ashley was terrific. I am a highly anxious dog mommy and I felt that Bertie was in safe, loving, and skilled hands. Ashley’s two dogs couldn’t have been sweeter or more welcoming to our pup, either. Ashley has a great backyard that’s well fenced and she sends lots of pictures and videos. We will definitely be returning for future dog-sitting needs. Thanks, Ashley!”
“Kelsie was amazing! we felt completely at ease leaving Wells with her. She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared for him like her own. Highly recommend”

About: I’m a devoted dog lover and stay-at-home pet caregiver with a friendly, nearly 5-year-old beagle who adores canine company. I have lots of time to cater to your dog’s needs—whether that’s plenty of cuddles, neighborhood walks, or longer hikes—and our beagle has a calm, social temperament and has never met a dog he didn’t get along with. He even helps new dogs settle in at daycare thanks to his gentle nature. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels and tailor walks and activity to each dog’s needs (short, slow strolls or more active outings). Safe, attentive care and lots of affection are guaranteed—happy to discuss routines, feeding, and any special needs your dog has. I’m currently not employed so my days are flexible. Any doggos that come to the house will be joined by our friendly beagle. Walks are completely up to your discretion. I will do whatever is easiest and the most safe for your pets. We have a crate in our house that can be used if needed. We also have a yard that is not fenced in.
“It’s hard leaving your fur babies, but we were so happy with Shatane and the love and care she gave our babies that we are planning our next getaway! She gives amazing updates and pictures that had us laughing out loud. I can’t say enough about her, she’s the best!”

If you're looking for an alternative to kennel or crate boarding, I can't recommend Lace enough. Lace and her pup (plus Mishneu) were amazing hosts for my boy Oscar. From the meet and greet to the daily communication and pictures, I knew Oscar was happy and being well cared for by Lace. With tons of toys, yard space and play time, he was easily occupied for the week long boarding. And I appreciate that Lace treated Oscar like one of her own pups and gave him lots of love and cuddles. Thank you Lace!
We had such a great experience with Ashley when our dog stayed with her for a full week. You can tell she genuinely cares, as she was incredibly attentive, making sure our dog got so much love, cuddles, attention & all her daily meds without any issues. She sent pics and vids every single day with daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our furbaby was in great hands and well cared for. What stood out most was Ashley's patience & kindness. Even when our dog had accidents, she handled it with total understanding & grace. That level of compassion means everything as a pet owner, especially when you're 3,000 miles away, so cant do much to help. A lot of other pet sitters might have made the situation stressful, but Ashley made it easier for us to relax & enjoy our trip by not making a huge deal about it & just finding a workaround. We’re so grateful for Ashley & would absolutely trust her again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. ❤️

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rockland is $64 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $82 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Rockland 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 Rockland 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 Rockland.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockland. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Rockland 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
