“Kevin took great care of our dog for over 2 weeks while we were abroad. He kept us up to date with daily pictures and messages on how our dog was doing with the other dogs. It was really easy to drop off and pick up. Next time we’re going abroad we’ll definitely be leaving our dog with Kevin again. Great experience!”
“We had the opportunity to go to Italy for 3 weeks leaving from Boston. We are not local here so looked at Rover to see if could find a sitter for our baby boy Bodee. Luckily I found Austin! He’s amazing, kind, trustworthy and great with Bo. He kept us updated daily with messages and photos. He took incredible care of Bodee even gave him a bath! Altho he was happy to see us I could tell he’d have no problem going to stay and play with Austin again! Thank you Austin for taking such great care of our boy. You are awesome and the pups in the MA area are lucky to have you as an option!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!”
“I am so grateful for Rebekah and her sweet daughters, who cared for my skittish and shy puppy, Nova. I received regular updates via text to set my mind at ease. They were kind and patient and loving. I highly recommend Rebekah!”
“Sunny is our go-to for the past 3-4 years whenever we need to board Lucky. Every time Lucky went straight into their house without even looking back at us. He is definitely spoiled when staying with them. We really would wish to continually have Sunny to watch for Lucky, but sadly we are relocating to the west coast. Lucky will miss them so much!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“I can’t express how grateful I am that we Kathleen. It was the perfect environment for my dog. She and her very nice family took such good care of him that he felt at home. She also sent us many updates and photos so I knew he was happy and safe. I highly recommend her and would rebook! Thank you so much to Kathleen and family because of your great care I didn’t have to worry about him at all!”
“Kari was wonderful with Hazel. I could tell Hazel adjusted well and enjoyed her time with Kari and her family by the photos and updates Kari provided along the way. I would leave Hazel with Kari again knowing that she would be well cared for.”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
“Ciara is great. Oliver loves going to her house. He looks forward to all his friends, even the cats which is amazing! She sends me updates every day with a picture so I know he is doing good and to help me not miss him to much.”
“Melissa took great care of our dog while we were away for a wedding! Easy to communicate with, sent regular pictures and updates, and our pup came home nice and tired from all the fun!”
“Kimberly was beyond awesome! We needed a pet sitter for the day of our wedding and she was so communicative and flexible with us! Our dog had an absolute blast and she was great with sending pictures. Thank you so much!”
“Jennifer and Mark were extremely helpful and accommodating. They treated us with the utmost respect and kindness, always with my dog's care being the main focus. If you need to have someone watch your dog, you will be leaving them in very capable hands. It's evident that the care of their own dogs also extended to your dog. Highly, highly recommended!!”
“Having moved recently to New Bedford, we didn´t have any close friends or relatives to leave our Lhasa Apso Johann with. We are so glad we came accross Taylor and Tyler on the Rover platform. They responded to my first contact almost immediately and were very attentive in getting back to me so we could arrange our meet and greet. They took care of Johann for 5 nights and would send me pictures daily and keep me posted. Johann adapted very well and we could see he was being well taken care of and having a fun time! We are so happy and thankful we now have a place to leave him when we next have to travel without him!”
“Marcia did an excellent job taking care of Tuka! I could tell he was very comfortable with her and her family both when I left him and picked him up. Loved all the pictures she sent! We will definitely use her again!”
“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
“Tara was an amazing sitter for our dog Luna! She was easy to schedule with and sent photo/status updates throughout the stay. We would definitely have her sit Luna for us again and would recommend her to others!”
“Shatane and her family were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They sent great updates of how they were doing and amazing pictures and videos. Have both my dogs plenty of exercise outside in the backyard and treated them as if they were their own. It made a week of travel less stressful to know my two were taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”
“Keasha and her son are the best ! First time using Rover and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them. You can tell Keasha and her son love animals. Pictures and video updates were awesome to receive. Will definitely ask them to watch her again. Highly recommend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Dartmouth
Austin was amazing with my two dogs! He was so attentive and spent lots of time outdoors with them! I do not like to leave them with anyone, and he made me feel comfortable right away and that’s huge for me! My dogs come home exhausted after a 3 day stay with Austin! He sent so many pictures and it made me happy to know that he took the time and effort with watching them and keeping them safe. He listened to every detail I messaged him about and had so much patience, especially knowing I was nervous. Our flight was delayed and he had no problem with keeping them for an extra time period! My dogs came home super happy and tired.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Dartmouth on Rover is $49.95 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 777 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Dartmouth. 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.
91% of South Dartmouth 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 Dartmouth 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 Dartmouth 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 Dartmouth.
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 Dartmouth 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.
