“Alyssa and Zach took great care of our dog. They sent pictures, and we saw that she had wonderful time walking on the beach. When we got her back, she was happy and relaxed. They also picked her up and dropped her off, even though it was quite a distance for them to drive. I should also mention that they agreed to take our dog on a very short notice - the same day when I contacted Alyssa. Very accommodating and punctual. We will be happy to let Alyssa and Zach take care of our pup again!”
“Lori and Billy were very accommodating to our last minute need for a sitter and welcomed our pup Clint into their home. From the photos I can tell that Clint had a great time and enjoyed his stay.”
“Kathy took great care of our golden retriever! She sent pictures throughout the stay easing any worries we had leaving our beloved dog for vacation. She was responsive and kind. Thank you again! We will book again in the future.”
“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”
“We are so pleased with Stacey's in-home care of our dog. She treated him like her own, kept us up to date with his activity, eating and sleeping, and she shared many photos. Stacey is easy to work with and reliable. Her fenced in yard is a bonus. Wouldn't hesitate to schedule again with Stacey!”
“Otis had a great time with Jade! He came home happy and exhausted which was awesome. Jade was very responsive and you can tell she cares for all her doggie guests like they are her own.”
“After having to go on an extended unexpected trip, Kane and Colette took on my two 4y/o Mauxies! They sent pics and updates to me and took amazing care of my girls!! I would highly recommend them for all your puppy cares!! I plan to rebook with them in the future for sure!! ❤️”
“Lena had a wonderful stay with Faith and family. This was the first longer term overnight Lena had and some time and i was super nervous leaving her. Faith provided excellent care and continued to update nervous doggie dad throughout the long weekend that Lena was having a good stay . 5’s across the board and will 100% use again”
“We felt really comfortable leaving our skittish boy, Dingo, with Mike and Linda once we met them and saw that he was going to be doted on! We got almost daily pics and didn’t worry about a thing while we were on vacation. Dingo was reportedly loved by their grandchildren too over their Easter Sunday dinner so we weren’t too sure he’d even want to come back home with us but he did!! Highly recommend Mike & Linda! 🩷”
“Grogu so loved his stay with Suzanne. Had the best of walks in the woods nearby. Suzanne was so lovely and flexible to accommodate our last minutes request so we could enjoy a night out in Rockport.”
“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 💯”
“Lindsay was great with Luna. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up and kept in touch during our vacation with updates and pictures of Luna. I know that Luna was happy and well-cared for, and she enjoyed playing with Lindsay's dog. Highly recommend!”
“Bowser seems to have had a wonderful time with Rebecca and her family! The photo updates were great to share with our kiddos so they could see he was having a nice vacation too 😊”
“I think my dog likes Liz more than me! He was happy to see me again and to come home, but if he could have, he would have moved her and her place in next door to us. Liz is gentle, picks up on important cues from the dogs, is thorough and just great. There was a complication in our premade arrangements with another sitter the night before we were scheduled to fly out of the country that could have ruined our 2 week honeymoon in Japan. Liz really stepped up for Rover and for us. She’s the very best.”
“This was our first long term boarding with Julie S. and it could not have gone better. Julie and her family were so attentive and loving towards Benji. The daily reports and pictures were very reassuring. There’s nothing more welcome than feeling like your pet is in good hands while you’re away.”
“Rita and her fur-fam gave my boy the most wonderful vacation. She is not paid what she is worth - she knows dogs at an expert level, she loves them, her place is set up perfectly for a dog vacation. I was a nervous new mom to leave my dog, but Rita and her two sweet dogs gave my Donut the best experience, opening his personality in wonderful ways and putting me at peace. Thank you for the tlc and ease, and your time, Rita.”
“Mercis is the BEST pet-sitter!!!! She always goes above and beyond in taking care of my dog Sherlock, be it food, walks or anything!! I had to visit my home country and it is very hard to stay away from my fur baby, but I had no worries as Sherlock was with Mercis!! She kept me informed daily with pictures and video calls! Seriously I don’t know what we’d do without Mercis! Sherlock adores her and so do we!!!”
“Zwany and Leandro were great with my pup. Peanut had so much fun! They provided regular updates and went above and beyond :) very sweet couple and will definitely recommend them! :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rockport
We love Kim! She went above and beyond to make our dog feel loved. Our pup gets anxious easily but was right at home with Kim from the beginning, and Kim did a lot during her stay to make her feel comfortable. She sent lots of updates to us, too, which was wonderful. We will book again with Kim in a heartbeat!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rockport on Rover is $53.5 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 1,363 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rockport. 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.
96% of Rockport 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 Rockport 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 Rockport 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 Rockport.
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 Rockport 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.
