“Alan was so helpful in accommodating our last minute drop-off and pick-up schedule changes. We were provided updates with accompanying pictures of Murphy throughout our entire trip and felt he was in good hands. We would love to have Murphy be a repeat client. Thank you for all your help and for taking such good care of our guy.”
“Our 2 dogs stayed with Nally for a week while we were away. She offered to meet us prior to the booking, which I took her up on since I don’t like to book blindly and we had never met. Her communications were always prompt and she sent pictures while we were away. She was very flexible with coordinating pick up and drop off. Both of my guys came back happy and tired! They were happy to have some other dogs to play with too. I would not hesitate to re-book with her.”
“Dana was absolutely great. Very attentive to our dog, and really got to know her before taking her into his home. Left confident that she was in good hands. Dana is also an absolute pleasure to talk to.”
“Sarah and her family went above and beyond durin our senior dog’s recent stay. From daily walks and snuggles to administering medication and a special diet, Sarah made us feel comfortable leaving our pup. We so appreciated the daily videos and pictures and the opportunity to meet with Sarah beforehand. And it was no problem when she had to refill one of our dogs medications. Truly heroic! Thank you, thank you, for everything! Buddy loved his stay with you!”
“Jason was absolutely amazing with my dog, Tayto! I felt so at ease knowing he was in great hands. Jason totally welcomed Tayto in to his home and family. His dog, Noah, was the best playmate for Tayto. Jason gave lots of updates and photos to share all the fun they were having together. Definitely recommend and will be booking with him again!”
“So happy with the service Duncan (our golden doodle got)! Jess kept us updated daily with pictures and texts. He seemed to go on lots of walks and had lots of company with other canine friends as well as their adorable girls! Will definitely be using Jess again!”
“Lauren did an amazing job caring for my pup, Poppy! Lauren was caring, thoughtful, and responsive throughout the entire process. Poppy felt right at home! Lauren is a great petsitter and provides a really safe, fun, and relaxing home away from home for each pet. Poppy and I are looking forward to her next stay with Lauren!”
“Allie is the best of the best. Our sweet Sandy ate a small starfish ornament the day before we dropped her off. I was scared to leave her but couldn’t have left her in better hands. Allie sent me photos and detailed updates, always promptly, multiple times a day. Thank you, Allie, for always taking such good care of our girl!”
“This was my first time leaving my 2 year old Poochon for 2 weeks and I was worried because he has separation anxiety. I’m so glad I found Michaela because she was fantastic! She provided updates with photos every day and Benji always looked happy which reassured me while I was away. I wouldn’t think twice about booking her again the next time I need someone to watch Benji.”
“Bella had a great stay with Joe and Dodge! She immediately seemed right at home and happy/content while she was there. She can't wait to go back for another visit!”
“Michelle took great care of our high maintenance English bulldog while we were away for a week! Due to his breed, he requires quite a bit of extra attention and Michelle went above and beyond!”
“Hyesoo and her family took really good care of my puppy, Lily. The pictures and updates that Hyesoo sent us made us enjoy our own vacation because I knew that Lily was having a great time with Som, Hyesoo’s puppy. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely call her again!”
“Nancy was incredible!!! I felt so safe with her having my girl and she spoiled her. She kept me up to date and took amazing care of all of Petunias needs. I couldn’t be more grateful and will definitely use her again.”
“My dogs loved their time with Casey! She is so kind and took such wonderful care of our dogs. She has wonderful communication skills and sent us a bunch of adorable photos of our dogs when they were with her. Thank you again, Casey! We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Julie was amazing! She sent us pictures of Pepés adventures and told us about all the fun things they did. It was like a luxury vacation for pepé, he loved it. We will be return customers!”
“Left our dog for 2 nights with Jing, Received numerous pics showing our dog interacting with her dogs and her family, very reassuring. At pick up our dog was very calm and seemed comfortable in her new surroundings, much better than when I’ve picked her up from other boarding situations. We will definitely be using Jing in the future.”
About: Hi there! I'm Hannah and I have loved animals since I was a little girl. I have 15+ years of experience staying in families' homes caring for their pets, as well as picking up/dropping off pets for walks. I'm familiar with leash handling, routines, and how important patience and consistency are for your pet. I would be delighted to care for your pet and will treat them as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I'm not afraid of "scary" dogs, so please, if you have a Pitbull, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, or another misunderstood pal, I would be thrilled for the opportunity to spend time with them. I offer dog walking, daycare, and boarding (at your home or mine). Please reach out to me and let me know what you're looking for- I'm happy to help! As a working professional, I'm lucky to have free time before and after work. My workplace is a 10 minute walk from my home, and I work from home on Mondays and Wednesdays. This enables me to build pet-care into my work routine, with options for walk and playtime before and after work, as well as walks midday. I'm fortunate to have this flexibility to give your pet the attention they deserve! Whether it’s for daycare or an overnight stay, I adapt my care to fit your dog’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety, health, exercise, and dietary requirements are my top priorities—along with giving them plenty of affection, or space if they’re more reserved or shy. In my home, you’re welcome to provide a crate, favorite toys or bedding, food and treats, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. If there are specific rules or routines you’d like maintained, I’ll make sure to follow them so your dog experiences consistency and care.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Roslindale is $65
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Roslindale
Zoe was fabulous. I was in a jam last minute to find a sitter and she responded right away and was able to watch my dog for 4 days while I was away on vacation. I was nervous that my dog would not respond well to her larger dog, but her dog was so gentle with mine, they were able to be together in the yard and in the house, no problems.
Our pup had a great stay and came home happy. Dana was easy to communicate with and was happy to have a meet and greet prior to boarding. Our pup can be hesitant with other dogs and Dana was able to facilitate her mixing with the other dogs without issue. We would recommend Dana to friends.
Shout out to Steven for the love and care he gave to my English Springer Spaniel, Benny, while I was out of town. I know Benny had a fabulous time because of the wonderful photos Steven sent of Benny smiling widely. Thank you Steven. Benny looks forward to vacationing at your house again when I’m traveling.
Sunil was quick to respond when we had another sitter suddenly cancel. She has taken very special care of our pup as she has recovered from a string inflamation. We were worried to leave her for a trip we could t cancel and we felt very relieved to leave her with Sunil. She sent us videos and photos everyday and you can clearly tell she is carefully taking care and listening to Escarcha. She went above and beyond.
William went above and beyond with our dog Homer, and this was our first time using Rover- 10/10 experience and will be using him again. Homer had so much fun with his other dogs, and had consistent updates throughout his stay that gave us so much ease while we were away. Thank you William!
Our dog Astro had a great stay! Casey was very accommodating with our early morning departure and even drove Astro home when our flight was scheduled to come in later than expected. She kept me updated with photos and videos of Astro. It was such a relief to know Astro was in good hands while on vacation.
Caroline, her dog Butterscotch, and their family took great care of my dog Bao Bao. He’s a shy, slightly nervous fellow and it was his first time boarding without his late big sister, but he had a lovely time. Caroline sent photos and updates daily. I’m really glad Bao got to stay with a nice family with a dog and a yard instead of some mass boarding setup. We will definitely check with Caroline before any other sitters in the future!
Kayla is an amazing sitter! I have struggled for YEARS to find a dog sitter for my anxious dog, Onyx. He is very flighty and takes a long time to warm up to people and trust them. For those reasons, every sitter and trainer we have tried to use since getting him as a rescue pup has not worked out. He would fail meet and greets and temperament tests and the only time we have been able to take vacations has been to find family or friends that he is comfortable to house sit. Onyx was comfortable with Kayla as soon as we had the initial meet and greet. She has a wonderful setup that is dog focused, from fresh water that is always available to the nice quiet backyard where the dogs can just relax. Onyx felt comfortable walking right into Kayla's home and did really well meeting Kayla's dogs. They were very well trained and friendly and helped my Onyx settle in quickly. Kayla maintained excellent communication from the start of our interactions and was very responsive to any questions or concerns that I brought up. She sent us updates and pictures of Onyx daily so there was never a point during our vacation when I was worried about my dog or wondering if he was getting enough attention or activity. Walking Onyx can be a very difficult challenge and I let Kayla know that she didn't have to try if he was showing a lot of anxiety but she went above and beyond to make sure Onyx was included on any walks with the other dogs and he did amazingly! I only have positive things to say about Kayla and her services as a dog sitter. I feel so comfortable having Onyx stay with her that I will definitely be booking again for any future vacations and maybe even doggy daycare because he had so much fun. For the first time in years, I feel a relief from the stress I would get from even thinking about vacation and it is all thanks to Kayla and her experience and skills as a dog sitter! Thank you Kayla!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Roslindale on Rover is $62.62 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,175 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Roslindale. 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.
91% of Roslindale 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 Roslindale 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 Roslindale 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 Roslindale.
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 Roslindale 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.
