“We have trusted Michael with our two Boston Terriers for a few years now. He is consistent, caring and a good communicator. Our dogs come home to us happy and healthy. He has great outdoor space for the dogs and he accepts them into his family. We highly recommend Michael.”
“Have used Emily once again and couldn’t be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.”
“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
“Roxy had a wonderful stay with Jacquie and her family and pups! She clearly got a lot of attention and snuggles, walks in the woods, and yummy treats. Jacquie had clear and frequent communication and sent us pics. We would absolutely stay again :)”
“Mellissa is the best Oliver had a great time there he was introduced to new people and some 4 legged friends too super care he did not want to leave we will do this again thank you so much.”
“Erin took the best care of our puppy Louie. She was extremely responsive and accommodating. This was my first time leaving him but after meeting Erin I knew he would be in great hands. She sent updates and pictures throughout his stay. Louie had the best time and felt lots of love staying with Erin!”
“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.”
“This was the second boarding with Melissa. Each time my dog looked very happy in the photos Melissa sent me assuring me that she was doing well. My dog seems to enjoy her time with Melissa. We will board her with her again.”
“Pat was kind, communicative, and was easy to work with. We have a timid rescue with peculiar needs and triggers, and she put in the effort to put our dog and us at ease. We appreciated the pictures with updates while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”
“Lauren's family is top notch for dog sitting. Right away I felt at ease leaving our pup Olive, with Lauren and Brian. Lauren has a way with dogs, she is knowledgeable and has a caring demeanor about her. I loved the fact that my dog was able to have some extra exposure to children (as I do not have any), so this was a bonus for us. The environment was comfortable and cozy, Olive being a shy, timid soul felt right at home in no time! :)”
“Once again, we couldn’t be happier that our puppy, Lucy, was able to stay with Dawn and her family while we were out of town! We love that Lucy is not only so well cared for, but also gets to socialize with Dawn’s younger kids, their friends, and other dogs throughout her stay (we love getting photos and updates!) Lucy came home happy and exhausted - thank you, Dawn!”
“We have used luiz and his beautiful family for several doggy day care options but this was the first time they boarded walter for us. Walter is a young man with an abundance of energy and they made sure he had plenty of play time and also rest time. I really appreciated the pictures and videos I was sent throughout the day as it really helps ease my mind being away from my babies! Will definitely use him again!!”
“Melissa and her family were amazing hosts for our dog. Koe loves to be busy and this was the perfect house for him. We got lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend and know he had a great time getting lots of activity, attention and love. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“We feel so comfortable leaving our sweet girl Kai with Sue and her family whenever we have go out of town. She is the most caring person and Kai loves going to her home. We never worry because we know she will be well taken care of.”
“Judy was an awesome host to our dog in her home. Our dog threw her some curveballs, as he can be a bit of a rascal, and she took everything in stride and was extremely patient with him. She kept us updated and gave us complete ease that she was taking excellent care, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Judy, we would love to have King stay again!”
“Kendra was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in I knew Scout would be well cared for and would also have a fun furry companion to play with. Kendra is very attentive to details, warm, welcoming to cuddle a sometimes shy dog and my pup enjoyed lots of exercise and play. Thank you Kendra!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of the boys again. They were excited as soon as we pulled in the driveway and you received kisses from Paxton, which you know is extremely rare! A testament to your kind, caring demeanor with them!”

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 .

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.
92% of South Barre 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 South Barre 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 South Barre 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 South Barre.
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 South Barre 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.
