“Ryan was absolutely amazing with my dog, Rio! He took great care of him, was super attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. Rio came back happy and relaxed, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be leaving Rio with Ryan again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Jenny is such a great dog sitter! She watches our Italian greyhound puppy on a weekly basis and is so great at updating us on how he is doing, being patient when he gets anxious or nervous, and is very flexible and communicative. She is also very conscious of dog interactions and made time to have our puppy meet hers beforehand. Would definitely recommend.”
“Noria was fantastic with my dog Nala. She boarded her in her home and made sure Nala had lots of fun and was well cared for. Norias love for animals shows through in all she does while caring for my puppy. Noria is very enthusiastic, warm and caring. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Stephanie took amazing care of my cat, Milo! She gave him so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable while I was away. She sent me lots of pictures every day, which made me feel so much better. She even made a daily chart of everything Milo did, including how he was eating and playing. I could tell she really cared about him, and I would definitely trust her to watch Milo again. I highly recommend Stephanie!”
“Absolutely the best experience having boarded my precious Maysie was Lisa and her family. Not once was I worried and a lot of that was because of the constant communication and pictures sent to us while we were away. Absolutely will rebook with Lisa as I knew my pup was treated as part of the family!”
“We were very pleasantly surprised by how professional, kind, and attentive this couple was while caring for our dogs. Since we’re not from the Northeast, we were a little nervous about leaving our pups in an unfamiliar area, but they immediately put our minds at ease. They were incredibly welcoming, communicative, and genuinely caring. We felt confident that our dogs were in great hands, and we’ll absolutely book with them again the next time we’re in the area. Absolutely recommend!”
“Pardeep was incredibly responsive to all my questions. Throughout Grady’s stay, I received regular updates with great photos so I always knew how things were going. It was clear he cared for Grady and treated him like his own. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep to anyone looking for an attentive and caring place for their dog.”
“Tanvi was fantastic with our dog (as always)! We were away on a two-week vacation, and Tanvi kept us updated daily with videos and pictures. Milo had a great time playing with new friends, and we didn't worry for a second because we knew he was in the best hands.”
“Bryan and Jacquelyn took great care of our dog Lucy. They gave us daily updates and pictures. Lucy was allowed on their couch and bed and from the pictures felt like she was very comfortable and felt right at home. We would highly recommend commend them and will book them next time a need comes up for us and if they are available.”
“Harley and Scout enjoyed their first stay with Tom! He took terrific pictures of them and they appeared relaxed sunbathing on the porch and happy in his home. We will definitely rebook again with Tom.”
About: I have been taking care of my own pet budgie. I have also taken care of my neighbor's pet turtle for over 8 times. They find me as responsible as I continue to take care of their pet when needed. At my parents house, I would take care of our dog like taking the dog on walks and feeding treats along with some playing. Everyday, I check if my pet is doing well. I make sure the food is filled and water is clean. I check these basic needs every day as well as playing with my pet. When I take care of my neighbor's turtle, I provide the given amount of food. I also play with it as I trace my finger along the glass. I make sure everything is fine with the turtle.
“Stephanie is a wonderful sitter. She is so sweet and caring. She is very accommodating and flexible. She will truly love your pet as her own and make them feel at home! My dog Apollo had a great time with Stephanie, and it’s great to know that my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book Stephanie over and over again!”
“Lupe was very attentive, kind and you can automatically tell he loves dogs. He cared for our golden retriever like she was his own. For the weekend he was very good at communicating how our Penny was doing, and we got several videos and pictures throughout the day. So grateful for Lupe and it gave us a peace of mind knowing Penny is in good hands! He also has an amazing backyard where Penny really enjoyed playing fetch with Lupe! Was scared Penny never wanted to come home haha! I highly recommend Lupe to anyone and everyone who wants someone with a good heart to care for their dogs!”
“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”
“Buddy had a great time. And we are glad to have found Vishnumansa to leave my pet (Buddy) with. Would definitely recommend Vishnumanasa to other per owners...great experience!”
“Ahmad was awesome with Bagel, who usually gets a little nervous in new places. He was super flexible and easy to communicate with, and made pickup and dropoff a breeze.”
“Luna loves staying with Whitney and Michael and family. She has so much fun with the girls and also playing with their dog. They take great care of her and are understanding when I forget something for Luna and they step right up and fill in what’s missing. This is a great home for my puppy when I have to be away.”
“Joanne was a great sitter, she watched our dogs for two weeks and did an awesome job. Sent updates and pictures and even took one dog to the vet when she showed signs of a UTI.”

Absolutely recommend!
Jenny and her husband were absolutely outstanding hosts for our dog while we were in the middle of moving. They were incredibly friendly, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind during a hectic time. Their massive fenced-in yard was also perfect for our dog to run around and enjoy. We would book with them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them!
Nala had a wonderful time at Pardeep's. Pardeep sent pictures with clever captions. He kept me updated on how she was doing. I really appreciated it. Nala seemed to have enjoyed her stay there and seemed to have gotten on very well with Pardeep's dogs. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep for boarding.
Kumud provided a wonderfully safe environment for our dog Harper, as always. We love getting all the photos and updates during the stay. Harper has stayed there so many times, she excitedly jumps out of the car when first arriving to play with the other dogs and get attention from Kumud's family. We couldn't recommend Kumud more!
We have used Brittany multiple times now to take care of our dog. We appreciate her flexibility with our schedule. She has always been very attentive to our dog and provides us with daily updates which is great. Celia seems to truly enjoy her stays there each time she goes.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Somerville on Rover is $69.55 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 5,297 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 NJ 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.
