“Lori was awesome. I have a Malinois and he is completely spoiled so after talking with her she assured me she was up to the challenge. She was amazing and I will be using her services again soon !! 5 Stars Lori”

“My dog Cooper always has a great time when he stays at Chris and Tommie’s! We had a change of plans and had to extend our trip a little longer and Chris and Tommie were so accommodating! Thank you for always taking such good care of Cooper!”

“Our baby was happy here. She played hard with the other dogs and still came home smelling pretty! We got pics and updates. Rebecca was very responsive. Would recommend! !”


“Ms. Jessie took wonderful care deeful care of my pretty girl Boleyn. I was worried about the separation anxiety that normally happens but in this case it never did. She gave her all the attention needed and allowed her to be free of any anxiety. With the pictures sent to us and the continuous contact through texts we could feel at ease that she was in great hands. Being a big fan of rescuers and adopting dogs and cats from animal these organizations, (18 cats and dogs in the last 20 years), I can tell you that not only do I plan on using her again, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else other than her. Thank you for taking wonderful care of our girl and thank you Rover for leading us to her!!”

“Myla was so great! She was easy to talk to and responded to any questions in a very timely manner. My 2 dogs are rescue dogs and showed some initial anxiety when left for the first time. Myla was very responsive and caring and gave them exactly what they needed. She sent updates while we were gone and we returned to some very well cared for and happy dogs. I would highly recommend her!”

“Amy and her lovely family took Dude, my 1 yo male Lab, for a week. They assimilated him into their pack from day one and made him happy. She shared updates and pictures at least once a day. He’s a handful but they took it all in stride and with aplomb. I’ll def use them again for any of my dog sitting needs!!”

“Mary is the absolute best. She was very loving and nurturing to Pebbles. She sent pictures daily to show how Pebbles was adjusting. She was also very patient and understanding. I was late with my drop-off and pick up and she understood. Thank you Mary. We will definitely be back.”


“Lauren and her daughters were absolutely amazing with our Rover! They welcomed him into their home and truly made him part of their family. He was loved, spoiled, and cared for as if he were their own. He was never crated or confined, but free to roam, play, and enjoy all the love and attention they gave him. And honestly, that’s what matters most to us. Knowing Rover was so happy, comfortable, and loved gave us such peace of mind. He was a happy camper, and so were we! Thank you so much, Lauren and fam, for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”

“Murphy had a great time at Brittany's. It was his first time staying somewhere besides home and it was a great experience. He came home happy and worn out. I think he had a great time playing with her dogs!”

“Rashad was great! My cat Mao had a great time getting all the cuddles he could while I was away, and Rashad was super patient and accommodating when I had to extend Mao’s stay by a day and a half due to unforeseen travel complications. This was a great boarding experience and I would absolutely book again. 10/10”

“Heidi stayed with Bethanie for about 5 days while I was out of the country. She came back to me happy and not fat, and she appears to have had fun playing with Bethanie's other pups. Bethanie sent me pictures several times while during my trip, and she always responded to my messages quickly--two things I value in a pet sitter. I'd definitely recommend Bethanie!”

“We recently boarded our two dogs, Sushi and Trixie, with Grayson for 10 days, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Grayson was sincere, friendly, and incredibly easy to communicate with. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. Throughout their stay, Grayson sent us regular updates and adorable pictures, which truly reassured us. Sushi and Trixie looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for every time. When we picked them up, they were calm and content, which says a lot about the care and attention they received. We’re so grateful to have found someone as reliable and kind as Grayson. We’ll definitely be using his services again the next time we’re out of town, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving dog care!”


“As always, Brande and her family took great care of our Lab. We were gone for nine nights and I think Skye had a great time with them. I know they took great care for her. Actually, I should note that the evening I dropped off Skye, she did something to cut her paw in her excitement when we arrived and we realized she was trailing blood. Brande did a great job of taking care of the cut and keeping an eye on her the next few days to make sure it properly healed. They treated her like a part of their family and I know Skye feels comfortable with them. As long as they'll have us, we'll continue using Brande for our sitting needs.”

About: I have a large backyard with plenty of room for dogs to play, explore, and burn off energy throughout the day. I also have a very friendly golden retriever, Theo, who is neutered and loves making new friends. He is gentle, social, and used to being around other dogs, which makes our home a great environment for pups who enjoy companionship. My home is a calm, clean, and structured environment and I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including accommodating to feeding schedules, crate training, medications, and special instructions. I work from home and usually never have to leave the house during the day, so your pet will never be left alone unless already discussed! Particularly for day care services, your pet will have access to the home and have a big backyard and plenty of space for comfort. Your pet will be in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I can introduce dogs slowly and carefully, especially when meeting our golden retriever Theo, who is neutered, very friendly, and used to being around other dogs. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and live near a walking trail where dogs can get safe daily exercise on leash. Inside the home, dogs have plenty of space to relax, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, crate use, medications, and routines. Only dogs that are a good fit for the home are taken in so that everyone stays safe and comfortable. I can provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is being well cared for. The goal is to make every dog feel at home!
“Alayna did an excellent job. Will definitely use her again. Price was very reasonable and she did an awesome job sending pics and videos of Honey Boo Boo and how well she adjusted. Thank you so much.”

“Thanks Courtney, for providing a wonderful service for Sparky and Ace. Courtney kept us updated on our dog’s stay with her. We enjoyed the pictures she sent. We will be using her services again!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 199 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Somerville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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 TN 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.
