“Gilbert was absolutely amazing with Diesel! We got multiple videos daily of Diesel and Moon running around the yard, playing with each other. We got updates on how he did every day! Diesel was a very happy boy during his stay. We will definitely come back to Gilbert again when we need a sitter for Diesel. ☺️”
“Brianna was so helpful in arranging Lucy's week long stay and Lucy had a great time! I appreciated all the pics she sent throughout the stay as well. We will use her again!”
“Anely was an AMAZING dog sitter for us while we went out of town for over a week. Dill (my dog) came back super happy and healthy. Also, I received daily pics and updated on how he was doing while we were away. I will definitely be using Anely again. Excellent service!! It feels great to have someone trustworthy to watch Dill.”
“I really appreciate that Leanne and her family are always so attentive to my dogs’ needs, especially since my dog has been having some health issues recently. My dogs are always well taken care of!”
“Rocky had an EXCELLENT stay with Courtney and a great, fun time. Rocky is an older dog with some minor health concerns and Courtney made me feel completely comfortable. Courtney is so friendly, competent with a lovely fenced in yard for dogs. She even sent me adorable pictures throughout Rocky's stay. I was completely at ease while Rocky was there. I highly recommend Courtney!”
“Isabel and her husband were the best hosts I could have asked for for my puppy! This was my first time leaving my dog, Wren, overnight anywhere for longer than 1 night and they were phenomenal with her. Isabel was constantly sending me updates and the most adorable photos which provided me with so much comfort knowing that Wren was taken care of. Her dogs and mine got along great so knowing that she had some friends with her the whole 8 days was a HUGE bonus. It's so nice knowing that when I travel again in the future, I have someone safe to leave my dog with. Thank you Isabel!”
“Moose LOVES when we go away and its only bc he gets to go see his second family at zachs . Hes loved and spoiled the same way we would at home. Zach is definitely a great choice for pet sitting.”
“Good morning Natalia! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Calvyn! It’s clear that you went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, happy, and loved. We could tell he was in great hands, and it really put our minds at ease while we were away on the cruise. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for everything you did an outstanding job! We noticed how happy Calvyn seemed to be when we brought him home. Job well done! Thank you so much we really appreciate it. We would highly recommend you to others! Manny and Addy Marques”
“We were very happy with Karen! She sent us daily updates on our dogs and pictures. She seemed to get to know our dogs right away and what their behavior was like. It’s was comforting to know she was paying such close attention to their needs. I would highly recommend Karen as a dog sitter”
“Hannah was sooo good to Seamus. He had a great 3 day stay, and her communication with me, while on our vacation, was terrific. We would highly recommend Hannah to anyone.”
“Carolina is simply amazing. She is so accommodating and trustworthy. I had at least two updates, pictures, and videos of my little guy. Her family is wonderful, loving, and caring. I will be using her again on our next vacation.”
“Our dogs had a great stay with Gary (and Amigo)! Gary was extremely responsive and sent us updates, photos, and videos while we were away. He did whatever he could to make our two dogs (medium, brown dogs) comfortable and keep them on their routine. One of our dogs has a food allergy, and the other has some medication and Gary prepared for and handled everything perfectly. Amigo is also super sweet and got along great with our dogs. We highly recommend Gary!”
“Sierra is great! She was so communicative while we were out of town. She made sure our pup was well taken care of and was gentle in letting him acclimate to her house and other dogs. We’re so happy to have found her!”
“Jessica and family were simply the BEST! Louie did not want to leave her house when we first went to visit! Jess sent photos and comments daily, in addition to responding right away to text message when I had a question during Louie's stay with her. I definitely will recommend her, and wish that I could give her 10 stars as well! It was hard for me to leave my 13 year old boy who has limited hearing and vision. She was really caring and terrific! I am so glad to have found her!”
“This is the second time Dennis has watched Orson and it was great! Dennis is very flexible with pick up / drop off and Orson always has a fun time spoiled with treats and a trip to the beach!”
“Jessica was the best!! Spencer absolutely loved his sleepover party with his new pals. Jessica made sure to keep me updated with pictures and videos of Spencer. She made me feel comfortable with Spencer being at a new home for the first time. She made sure he got his night time meds, and extra snacks! Overall Jessica was one of the best rovers I had. Super attentive and caring. Spencer can’t wait to go back and see his girl friends!💕💕”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rumford
Zachary is everything we could ask for in a dog sitter! Observant, thoughtful, and ridiculously kind to people and pets! We know Huckleberry is safe, loved, and cared for when he is with Zachary. The price is beyond reasonable for the quality of care and attention that Huckleberry receives. I would recommend Zachary to anyone looking for dog care with a high quality sitter!
Brenda was a great sitter. She was very patient with our girl who was a bit anxious the first few days but Brenda was communicative and worked with Maisie to get her comfortable and settled and happy. She took Maisie on walks and to the dog park and gave her lots of love and care. Bonnie (resident dog) is a sweet playful girl and the dogs got along really well and had lots of play time. I would highly recommend Brenda as a sitter and Bonnie as co-sitter.
Matthew took Rex as a last minute boarder after our regular sitter had an emergency. He was really gentle and understanding with our elderly dog who was confused and nervous to be in a new place. We received plenty of updates and photos of Rex going on walks and snuggling. Excellent sitter!!
Ty and her family welcomed our pup Nelly into their home with love and care. We had a relaxing vacation knowing that Nelly was well taken care of. Ty sent adorable pictures and updates and was very responsive and super easy to coordinate with. We’re first time dog owners and it was obvious that Ty was experienced and helped guide us throughout the process. Thank you Ty!
Julia is amazing! She was super communicative, sending pup photos and info throughout her time with Charlie. He clearly had a great time, and even ran back toward her apt after we left—found a new best friend! Julia was extremely understanding when our trip was unexpectedly prolonged, and we felt at ease knowing he was in good hands until we could return. Appreciate the flexibility. Highly recommend Julia!!
Andrea did a phenomenal job with Bernie. We appreciated her flexibility with scheduling, drop off and pickup. But most importantly, we were impressed with the high level of care and attention she gave our pup. Great communication. Regular photos, and one VERY happy dog at pickup. If you have a chance to book this amazing sitter, put her at the top of your list!
Molly was amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone, and she took wonderful care of him. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and videos every few hours, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our pup felt comfortable and bonded with her quickly. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Molly again in the future. Highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rumford on Rover is $33.3 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 1,411 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rumford. 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.
90% of Rumford 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 Rumford 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 Rumford 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 Rumford.
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 Rumford 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 RI 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.
