“Highly recommend! Michael is very professional and easy to work with. Our labradoodle enjoyed his time at Caesar’s Home and came home calm/happy after playing with his new friends all week. We will definitely stay again!”
“My husband and I haven’t left our 3 year old Yorkie with anyone but family members. I read about Sue on Rover and she seemed like a good fit. We had a meet and greet ahead of time. She immediately made us feel comfortable with her friendly and professional personality. She and her sweet pups made our girl feel right at home. Sue sent photos so we could see how our Yorkie was getting along. We have put Sue on our favorite sitter’s list and she will our first choice anytime we need a sitter. We would highly recommend her to family and friends.”
“Thank you for loving and caring for our pup, again :) Bailey enjoys her time with you all, she comes home tired and happy! We appreciate the pictures and your communicative nature.”
“Lingwen was AMAZING! She made Nico feel super comfortable at her home and welcomed. Lingwen sent updates and pictures of Nico thought out the stay which we loved. Thank you much again for caring for Nico! If you’re looking for a sitter, do not hesitate to book her. She’s the best :)”

“Andreana is very personable and clearly loves dogs. My Pippa enjoyed the time spent going for walks and playing with her new bestie, Milo. Andreanna has the energy and outlook to keep up with these active pups! I know my girl was well cared for while I was away.”
“Judy and Rosie are awesome! Our Nala had the best time with Judy, Rosie and her family! Judy sent us pictures and updates gave our Nala plenty of walks, outside run time, and family love! So grateful not to worry about our pup while we were away. We would definitely book with Judy again!”
“Peter took great care of my dog, Ben for 9 days. Ben came home happy, well fed and a little tired which I expected. I received multiple photos and updates from Peter, who has a pleasant disposition and was very flexible with my adjustment of pick up time. I will use Peter again.”
“Radhika and her family did a fantastic job watching over and taking care of our pup while we were out of state for a few days over the 4th Holiday. I absolutely recommend Radhika as a trusted sitter for anyone’s dog. It was a relief to know our dog was in great hands while we were away.”
“Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Titus left Erica's house so happy and relaxed for the whole day after. She sent many pictures and videos throughout his stay and made me feel better about leaving him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsive dog sitter.”
“During the stay I received updates throughout the day about what Mipha was doing which I always appreciate. Unfortunately my sweet little brat decided she didn't like their crate at night, and they accommodated to her needs. I would definitely recommend Shea and Damien for boarding!”
“Emily took great care of my pug Forrest. She sent many messages and pictures daily showing how he was enjoying his stay with her and her family. He enjoyed himself so much that he was reluctant to leave when I arrived to pick him up him up, literally hiding behind Emily so I wouldn’t pick him up. I will definitely use Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great family home environment for their pet when away. A+, 5-stars.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rutland
I trust Michael and his approach to caring for dogs without hesitation. Michael is a genuinely good person and has an innate sense of how to keep all of the dogs under his care safe and sound. He gets to know each dog and ensures everyone gets along. He introduces everyone to each other slowly and in the fenced-in backyard. I have a smallish dog with a big personality. Every time she visits Cesar’s Home I know that she is living her best life!!
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 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 997 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.
88% 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.
