“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!”
“Gloria was very great sitter …She was very attentive & responsive each time I checked in with her…she also sent photos of my dog Yuko to reassure me that she was ok… I will definitely use her service again …”
“Lissette took great care of our pup, kept him happy and safe! She was prompt in her response times, good communication, so I knew he was in good hands. I’ll definitely keep her in mind for future bookings!”
“Karl was SO good to my Lou. Lou was smiling in photos that Karl sent, and smiling when I picked him up. Thank you Karl for taking such good care of my sweet Lou. Will definately trust in Karl to care for Lou again when I have to work away from home =)”
“I would highly recommend Allison to take care of your dogs! She is so caring and definitely communicates with you to let you know what's going on! Her dog, Mollie is so sweet too! She has 2 fenced in areas- a front yard and back yard with a pool! There is definitely plenty of places for your dogs to roam and play outside. She also has a nice area inside for them to play and where she gives tons of cuddles! She honors whatever your routine is, as I wanted my dog to sleep in her soft crate and be fed twice a day with pottie breaks every 4hrs. She is very reliable, dependable, efficient and a total sweetheart! She knows how to slowly introduce dogs and makes sure everyone is safe and comfortable besides having fun! I was so calm knowing that my Lola was in good hands and given so much attention by her, her family, and the other dogs! A definite 5 star rating in my book!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our Arthur! From the start, Amy was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for our boy like her own. Arthur is adventurous and always getting into something, but she handled everything with ease and kept us updated with pictures and messages. It was clear Arthur felt comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend! Thank you Amy, and Mayzie!!”
“Steve and his wife Debbie were amazing! We met them for a meet and greet before booking them for an overnight. From the time we originally met them they were warm, caring, knowledgeable and did have a great love for dogs. We just did a quick overnight with them and they were great. They listened to our dietary restrictions and made us feel comfortable leaving our fur baby with them. Our dog came back nice and tired from playing with their own pack all night. We will be using them again in the future.”
“Belle had a great experience with Russ and Janet once again. They took great care of her with lots of walks and pets. It's so reassuring that we can leave Belle with caring sitters. Thank you!”
“We’ve used a handful of sitters on rover and Angela and Tommy are the best. They have an awesome big yard, playful friendly pups, and give lots of love to our fur baby. Thankful to have a go to home for when we have to travel.”
“Our pup absolutely loves her stays with Kristin and we know she is in such good hands over there. We love getting all the updates from the adventures she has during her stay. Kristin even celebrated our pups birthday with some special treats during her stay. She goes above and beyond, and we truly appreciate her!”
“Happy and satisfied with Lataya quick response time and positive attitude given my last minute schedule changes. She is the best doggie MOM to my puppy Charlie! We bothare happy! 😌”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Excellent care, as always! Megan is awesome - walkies, play time, potty break, nappies and bedtime - Jackson seems to love to stay with Megan and her other fur babies. I won’t trust my dog to anyone but Megan.”
“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.”
“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”
“Maria and her husband are every dog owners dream. She treated our Meeka like family, sent us tons of pictures every single day, and always responded so quickly when I texted to check in! This was our first time away from our pup and Maria explained everything to us in detail, talked about the other amazing pups that stay with her, and made Meeka feel so comfortable. Now she can’t wait to go see Maria and her husband! I’m recommending Maria to everyone from now on! The best of the best!!”
“Katie was wonderful. This was short notice and she could not have been more accommodating. Tully had a great time playing with the other pups and came home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Katie.”

There are 508 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Russell. About 91% of Russell sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
