“Jing was an amazing sitter for my elderly dog, Tela! She was available last minute for a few days and took such good care of her. She sent many pictures and videos updating me about Tela’s stay so that I had no concerns or worries. She also would update me after providing Tela’s medication to her. Tela was in great spirits when I went to pick her up - and she can be very picky about where she stays. I would definitely recommend Jing!!”
“Tyler and his fiancée did a fantastic job taking care of Soka again. They were very communicative throughout the stay and even handled both pick-up and drop-off, which was a huge help. We really appreciate the care they showed and look forward to booking with them again in the future!”
“Brooklyn watched our Sydney for a quick overnight. She was very kind and responsive. Very accommodating of our pup's schedule and needs. We felt very at ease knowing she was in good hands”
“Zwany is amazing as always. She's responsive, caring, and always puts your dog's best interest first. I have booked with her three times now and I wouldn't want to book with anyone else!”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Greta was very kind, patient, communicative and accommodating! Lots of updates and pics throughout my dogs stay. Plenty of walks and park time. He seemed genuinely happy to be there!”
“Logan and her dog Gus were wonderful with my golden. Logan has a natural confidence and calm presence that the dogs respond to immediately — they listen to her and clearly feel comfortable around her. She handled everything with ease and professionalism. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Grace & Andrew were fantastic. They were super responsive and accommodating for my last second boarding request, and they’re SO sweet! They took Great care of Chance and I would absolutely use them again.”
“Isabella was great! She attended to my dog perfectly and was extremely communicative, updating with lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend and would definitely use her again!”
“We left Leo with Megan for nearly two weeks during our wedding/honeymoon. It was a long time to leave our pup with someone we didn’t know and we were nervous. Megan quickly calmed all our nerves by sending so many pictures and be very communicative. We’re so happy we decided to go with Megan and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Silver took such great care of our Lab for us and we would definitely trust him with her care in the future! Communication was great, we got regular photos and updates and we could tell she was happy and in good hands. Thanks Silver!”
“Second time booking and very satisfied! They are great with ginger and she loves staying with them. Loved the creative updates! Thank you for taking care of ginger”
“Pluto had an amazing time with Ruya and Aybark! I was nervous to leave him in boarding as he has separation anxiety, but they took such good care of him and made him feel at ease. It was also very easy to keep in touch and they sent pictures of him throughout his stay. Overall, a great experience!”
“Irina is fantastic! She took care of our 1.5 year old dog for a few days and was super communicative throughout. Irina was flexible in scheduling an initial meeting so she could meet our dog, Bruno, before taking care of him. During that time she asked a lot of great questions and this made me feel confident and comfortable in having Bruno stay with her. When we got a Bruno back, he was super calm and happy. 10/10!”
“Emily and Daniel were phenomenal watching my dog Ace! Very accommodating, excellent communication and updates, and could tell Ace genuinely had a fun time and was taken care of!”
“Caroline was so great!! She not only took good care of my fur baby, she was communicative, mindful of my pups anxious behaviors, and super friendly. We will absolutely be visiting her again <3”
“Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.”
“Erin is GREAT. She kept in touch with me, sent me pictures of Rocky and messaged me throughout the day which was reassuring. Very clean home and huge grass area right next to her. Rocky is a hyper fella so that was good. Thanks for caring for Rocky. Will be booking again with her. Hopefully Rocky wasn't too much for Dim Sum❤️”
“Rachel was amazing! She made us and Joey feel comfortable. She was super communicative and let us know how he was doing. We would book Rachel over and over.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Boston
Jo and Adam took such good care of our pup Frankie. This was the longest he has ever been away from us- a whole week- but he came back so happy and tired, true signs of a good time. Jo and Adam sent photos daily which helped us a lot and it was fun and comforting to see Frankie with their dog Napo and little baby too as well as seeing him laying down next to Jo and Adam on the couch! It is such a relief to find such caring, competent, professional, and caring sitters that we can use when we need care for our pup. Thanks so much Jo and Adam!!
Xiaoyuan and William were the best. I was out on a business trip and they were able to board my Shiba Inu Bolt. Because they had another Sheebs in the house, they were already aware of the quirks of owning the breed but sure it would have been translatable to other breeds. They were very communicative and provided a lot of updates throughout. I highly recommend them.
Joselio did such a great job taking care of our pup! I needed a sitter last minute and he was very communicative and gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. He sent many updates and pictures which were greatly appreciated. They took him on many walks and trips to the dog park. My pup had a great time and was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Joselio to a friend! Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Boston on Rover is $59.94 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 4,067 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Boston. 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.
92% of South Boston 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 Boston 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 Boston 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 Boston.
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 Boston 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.
