“Patti is a wonderful person and took great care of my dog. He is an old and she made him so comfortable and welcome in her home. She is quick to communicate with me and was great at letting me know how he was doing. I will definitely be using Patti again. Thank you Patti”
“Heather sent photos every day and videos so I knew my dogs were enjoying themselves. Beautiful fenced in yard made play time fun and safe. Quick communication, easy drop up, and willing to change pick up time. I would recommend her for all dog parents!”
“I booked sort of last minute and wasn't able to make a meet and greet happen (though Abigale kindly offered) and I felt totally comfortable dropping my Bernie off. I got plenty of updates while away and plan to use them again! Bernie was well cared for! And their home is lovely! Thank you!”
“A friend recommended I use Rover.com and specially Alan and Luis to board my young golden retriever. From start to finish this was an excellent experience for Shilo and myself. The Rover.com app is extremely user friendly and Alan and Luis provided a warm, homey atmosphere for my pup. I had never left her overnight and it was so comforting to get daily picture updates while I was away. Shilo was clearly having the time of her life! I have already booked another stay and will use Alan and Luis and Rover.com for all my boarding needs.”
“I needed a last minute boarding for my dog Enzo, as my family and I were going out of town. I found sandra on rover and she was available. We met the morning we drop of our dog Enzo. Sandra’s pleasant personality and lovely home gave me a sense of comfort and that my dog Enzo was gonna be good taken care of. she took really good care of Enzo, sent me pictures and video and I knew Enzo was confortable and happy . I really recommend Sandra and will use her service again for future boarding. Thank you so much Sandra ,”
“Karl is excellent, and his care of my doggie pogo was unique in that pogo had a large secure fenced in yard to play in, and Karl has his own doggies who get along well with other doggies. And our puppy got to sleep on the bed just as he does at home with us. I trust Carl. This was a doggy vacation for Pogo rather than dog ‘boarding’”
“Another stay for our dog Milo and another fantastic experience. Milo was so excited to see Karina and again he received the best care while we were away. Couldn’t ask for a better person to care for our dog. Highly recommended!!”
“They we're great with Ranger! I received updates and pictures each day about how Ranger was doing and any antics he was up to. Lots of walks were taken and i really appreciated the help and flexibility to work with my schedule. Ranger came home happy and tired from all his excitement!”
“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.”
“Rocky seemed to really enjoy his overnight. The icing on the cake we believe was his opportunity to play with Brooke's nice dog and her young son! Thanks for the picture!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our puppy Koda was staying away from home for the first time, and Novelette took amazing care of him. She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Koda had a blast and came home happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!”
“We were very nervous because Gordie had never slept away from his home. He seemed very happy and content in the photos Caitlin was kind to send. I will definitely send him to her house again.”
“Allison was fantastic. It was hard leaving my dog for 2 weeks but Allison and her family gave her so much love and provided a wonderful home while I was gone. It made being away from her so much easier. I am really glad I found Allison and I would be happy to leave my dog there again in the future. A family who truly loves dogs.”
“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”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Russell on Rover is $38.85 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 494 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.
