“We just had Michael care for our two Boston Terrier pups. This is our second time leaving them with him. The pups were happy and of course, glad to see us upon return. They are in good health. Michael pays attention to detail and was happy to follow our special requests around feeding and outdoor supervision. We will certainly book a stay with Michael next time we go away. It is so nice to have a reliable local caretaker for our dogs. Thank you, Michael”
“Our dog Sara had an absolutely fabulous time at Judy's home. Judy is so friendly, and her dog Rosie became our dog's best friend instantly! There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor space for dogs to roam around, and lots of toys. We're so thankful for Judy and her wonderful doggie care!”
“Meli is a fantastic sitter! She took awesome care of my pup, Chunk. I really enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout the day. It was a comfort knowing that he was in good hands. You can tell that she is very passionate about animals!”
“Melissa gave our dog, Dewey, plenty of attention and affection. She is obviously one who cares deeply for dogs and treats them so very well, right down to providing him with his medications. The only possible downside is that since he's been home, Dewey misses the social time with his fellow dogs! We will certainly be requesting her services again--do not hesitate to book her if you need somebody. Melissa's great! Oh and also, so many pictures, a few of which are contenders for this year's Christmas card!”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“We thought we’d feel guilty leaving our dog behind for vacation, but knowing she was having the time of her life with Dawn and her family made all the difference! Their love and attention to her care were evident in every update, and we couldn’t get enough of the adorable photos and videos. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful family for her to stay!”
“Bojack loved staying with Kourtney! He is a fourteen years old. I like that Kourtney has a background in veterinary medicine. Not only did that make me trust her with his daily meds, it was nice knowing that there was a trained eye on him. Bojack is overly bonded to me to the point that he often sits by the window waiting for me to return when I go out. The biggest compliment to Kourtney's care is that when we picked him up, he greeted me with enthusiasm but not anywhere near the crazy welcome I usually get, AND he kept looking back at Kourtney as if he was unsure whether he wanted to leave! We will definitely have her watch him again.”
“Amazing! This was the first time we left our cat with a sitter so we were a little worried but we got pictures and updates every day. Her children loved playing with my kitty and we were able to have a getaway knowing our girl was very very well taken care of.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received while I was away! Lingwen was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their hands. She was so professional, friendly, and attentive, taking the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences. During the time I was away, Lingwen kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. My dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pets!”
“We were so happy with Melissa and Axel. They took great care of our dog, sent us pictures and updates and their kids gave our dog all the love. We will definitely be rebooking.”
“This is our 3rd time having our puppy Clover stay with Brianna and we continue to be so thankful for her!! Clover has a great time at Brianna’s house and we know she is being well loved and cared for when she’s there.”
“Tracee was great with our dog (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). Tracee and her family are very friendly, and you can tell how much they love animals. Tracee sent several updates with pictures during our trip, and it was very reassuring to know that our dog was settling in well and having a good time. Our dog was in great spirits when we picked her up. I will definitely be using Tracee again!”
“Friendly, professional, and organized. Really nice guy, really nice place for dog-sitting. Kiwi came back from the weekend healthy and upbeat and he was super communicative by text.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience with boarding! Vignesh took wonderful care of Mylo while I was away, sending daily updates including texts, photos, and even videos. This was my first time using Rover to board Mylo, who is a large breed (Bernese Mountain Dog). I was pleased that Mylo seemed incredibly comfortable with Vignesh and his family, and I brought him back home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Vignesh for anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Jacky is literally THE BEST! Our 12-year-old goldendoodle stayed with Jacky for two weeks this spring while we were on an international trip. Jacky took such wonderful care of our dog – multiple walks a day in parks and wooded trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of hugs. We also received daily updates with photos, which made us feel comfortable and happy that our dog was doing so well. I’ve recommended Jacky to our friends and we will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“We have been bringing our dog Pepper to Tamara and her family for several years now. It is comforting to know Pepper is well cared for when we are away. Sometimes she doesn’t want to leave! 10/10, highly recommend!”

We are so grateful for Michael! This was the second time he watched our three dogs in his home for the week, and they had an absolute blast. They were so excited to be back for another stay, and we were completely stress-free knowing they were being loved and cared for like family. Great communication, plenty of photo updates, and so much playtime for our pups. We feel so lucky to have found the perfect home away from home for our fur babies. Highly recommend!
Erin was great with Brady. She sent us pictures and updates along the way. I feel very comfortable leaving our Brady with her. She hadn’t seen him in a while so she stopped by our house before the stay to get reacquainted with Brady. That was very helpful and thoughtful.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rutland on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,019 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rutland. 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.
87% of Rutland 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 Rutland 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 Rutland 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 Rutland.
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 Rutland 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.
