“I am a Rover host myself, but needed to find 1 night's accommodations for a long-term boarding. Patti and hubby were great. Kept me updates with pics and narrative, and gave willow plenty of exercise and fetch in their fenced in yard.”
“We couldn’t have asked for our doggie to be more loved and cared for. We just moved from California and were nervous about leaving our pup for the first time since the big move, but Katelyn and her family were absolutely wonderful. They sent photos to keep us posted and he looked perfectly comfy and at home in each. We are so grateful to have found Katelyn and would recommend her to others without hesitation. Our dog came back to us as though he had been on a retreat! Calm, happy, and himself.”
“Carmela was super nice with my elder dog. My chihuahua suffered violence from a teenager and now his behavior is not the best. Carmela was so comprehensive and knew how to manage him to keep him feel safe in her home. I am so thankful that she received my baby in her home for the time I had to travel.”
“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”
“Sandra was very accommodating and welcoming. This was our first experience with having someone other than family care for Chase. He seemed at ease and well cared for. We will definitely rebook with Sandra and cannot thank her enough for making this process easy.”
“Jenna had a excellent stay she was very well taken care of Abigale snd Eric were very friendly and accepting of me being a over protective anxious dog mom they are well equipped to take care of her I will book with them again”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“Sarah was quick to respond to my request, and was willing to work with me regarding drop off and pick up times. I really appreciated her taking time for both my senior pup and I to feel comfortable before I left. My girl was happy when I picked her up, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Sarah!”
“Sarah was amazing! From the beginning, she was very responsive to all of our questions about the booking. Our dog tends to be shy and can sometimes be aggressive with other dogs, but Sarah made it work, and our dog got along with hers right away. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog was very happy during her stay! We will definitely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“I booked Rachel last minute fully expecting for her to not respond or say she was available and she responded within minutes for my last second request. She and her family took excellent care of Hank and sent me several pictures and updates through out. 10/10. Very happy to have found someone trust worthy i can leave my dog with and have no worries without feeling like i am burdening friends or family.”
“Josie loves dogs and took great care of our Pip. The family made Pip feel good about spending the weekend with them and seemed to love her, even forgiving her for getting food off the counter. 😬 we feel fortunate to have found them.”
“Brooke was an absolute lifesaver for our family when we got in a tough spot with a home move and we had absolutely no options for our large, elderly matriarch of a dog. I would enthusiasticaly recommend her to anyone. Our dog needed so much extra attention and we are really indebted Brooke and her family for helping us out.”
“Kim is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our beloved Sully and made his stay a great experience. I felt very comfortable that he was in good hands, and got frequent updates and photos. Kim is attentive, trustworthy, caring, and provides great communication. Sully came home very happy but tired from a very fun stay. Highly recommend!”
“Karina and her husband Jared are fantastic! This was our second time having them watch our dog, Nova, while we were away on vacation. Nova ends up getting her own vacation when staying at Karina & Jared's house! They always take such good care of Nova and Karina always gives us updates on Nova twice a day! We are so grateful that we found such amazing people to care for our pup when we are away! We (especially Nova) look forward to seeing Karina and Jared again soon! Thank you both so much for always being there and taking such amazing care of our Nova!! 10/10 recommendation!”
“Wendy was great! I needed a dog sitter at the last minute and came across her profile. I loved that she was so close to my home, and she made the entire experience stress-free. During my dog's stay, I received nightly text updates along with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. This was the first time I'd traveled over 13 hours away from my sweet girl, so I was super nervous. After the first day went so well, all my worries disappeared, and I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing she was in great hands. I will definitely book with Wendy again and maybe next time she'll even get to meet my kitty too!”
“I recommend Novelette highly. It seemed to take a bit for our dog to settle in, and Novelette was very patient & accommodating! She was a great communicator & sent plenty of pictures to keep me up-to-date on our dog. She was kind & flexible. Thank you again, Novelette!❤️”
“Caitlin was an amazing sitter for our dog Steve! During our pup’s 10-day stay, Caitlin provided picture and video updates to help us know he was safe and happy. When we picked him up, Steve was so relaxed and happy (way more so than when we used to keep him at the kennel). It was clear that Caitlin truly cared about making sure Steve's stay was comfortable and close to his normal routine. Her young kids were so gentle and kind with the dog, and we never had any concerns. I definitely recommend Caitlin!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Russell on Rover is $38.85 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 498 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Russell. 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 Russell 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 Russell 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 Russell 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 Russell.
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 Russell 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.
