“Our fur baby enjoyed his stay, he got lots of playtime and attention with Meaghan and her kiddos❤️ she kept in touch with pics and videos and eased all my anxiety with leaving him while on vacation,we highly recommend and will be using her in the near future!”
“I cannot express how great Donna is and how grateful we are with her for taking such good care of our fur baby. She made sure Chuchu had his medication when he had to, and she treated him as part of his family. Thanks Donna! See you next time!”
“I cannot express my gratitude for Kelly, adequately!! I would absolutely book with her and her family a million times over! She was very accommodating and patient from start to finish! My family and I were away for 6 days, and unfortunately, KoKo started exhibiting signs of illness on day 2 into day 3! Kelly alerted me immediately but had already made calls and received pet Med advice and comforted me as well as informed me of diagnosis! She never pressured me to return and even prepared special meals for my KoKo to ease his discomfort!!!! Turns out that he had a horrible case of separation anxiety that was literally making him sick. But Kelly and her family acted quickly and within 36 hours, helped KoKo settle and return to his normal playful healthy state! I told Kelly and I will tell the world… she’s not just a sitter… she’s a BLESSING for people that love their fur babies and want the best home away from home for them! Kelly and Brian (and precious little ones…), THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!🙏🏽”
“Shume watched Sterling for us for two weeks and we came back to a well taken care of and happy dog! While away she sent us emails and pictures to keep us up to date with his visit- and every time he looked so happy! Her yard was perfect for him to run around with her fuzzy family kept him on his toes! We highly recommend her and will use her again in the future!!”
“We had a great experience with Melanie! Max was taken well care of for the two nights he stayed with her! She took care of all his needs and treated him just like her own! She was good about texting me through out his stay to tell me how he was doing and also sent lots of pictures! He seemed happy and loved while we were gone! We look forward to using her again soon!!”
“Amber was a sweet, patient and caring sitter for our senior dog with lots of special needs. She cared for Ellie as if she was her own and was happy to accommodate all of Ellie's needs. Amber kept us updated on how she was doing through out the stay. We would definitely use Amber again as it was clear Ellie was comfortable there.”
“My Achilles has become a repeat client. We love the care and attention Dalis shows him while in her care. The picture updates of him playing and having fun gives me such relief to know he is in great hands.”
“Once again, Deborah was fantastic taking care of my fur-baby. She’s very attentive, caring, and flexible. She sends several updates during the stay and is quick to respond. Highly recommend! 5⭐️”
“I can not recommend Kira enough! She went above and beyond my expectations to provide my sweet Ollie a safe and comfortable place to stay when my husband and I had to go out of town. Ollie loved Kira and we will definitely be coming back to her for future stays.”
“Kelsey and her family provided safe and loving home for my two cats during my travel. She sent frequent updates with pictures. Her kids are wonderful with animals. One of the pictures shows Kelsey's little daughter gently petting and kissing my cat. It is so beautiful that I'm going to frame it.”
“Hailie has boarded our dog Cooper several times and has been very attentive and personable to work with. It's more like a close friend watching our dog rather than "boarding" him. He gets excited to go to her house and she has been flexible and understanding with unpredictable booking conflicts. We will continue to call on Hailie for our Cooper's "babysitting" needs😁”
“James & Emily were great with our Honey Jo! They sent us pictures, had great communication, and walked Honey during her stay with them. We were traveling by plane so our trip timing was up in the air, but James & Emily were flexible with our drop off & pick up times. Would love to use them again!”
“Our boys became an extension to Sean and Dianna from the start. They loved playing in the pool and making new friends so much that I don’t think they missed us at all! And I wouldn’t want it any other way!!! We were provided updates of their happenings throughout the day by pictures, videos, and messages. It was so comforting to have absolute peace of mind that my pups were happy. I will 100% be booking with them again.”
“Brittany is fantastic! She kept both of our pups. One has really bad anxiety and warmed right up. Brittany also sent pictures and videos while we were gone. We are so thankful we found her, because we know our fur babies are very well taken care of in her hands.”
“Juyne and her family took such great care of our fur babies. Our fur babies were happy to stay with there. They received lots of love and attention. We definitely will use her in the future! I highly recommend you book with Juyne. Thanks again for taking such great care of our babies.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Somerville 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 283 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Somerville. 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.
94% of Somerville 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 Somerville 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 Somerville 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 Somerville.
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 Somerville 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 AL 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.
