“We cannot recommend John and Sharon enough. Our two corgis absolutely love their time with them. They get excited when we arrive and are well taken care of. They get plenty of exercise, attention, and are pretty spoiled at John and Sharon's house. It's terrific to feel completely at ease leaving our dogs when we travel.”
“Leo L was a fantastic host! He sent us a lot of pictures of our dog having fun. And made sure she got the exercise that she needed. He was very open to her schedule and I felt like he really cared about her well-being.”
“Monica was great with my 2 dogs. I received lots of pictures and updates while I was away. My dogs were happy and tired upon pick up. I recommend Monica and will use her again. Also, I want to note that communication with her prior to there stay was excellent and we even had a quick meet and greet.”
“It was Murphy’s second time ever staying away from home, and his first Rover experience so we were nervous about how he would do. Sean was so responsive through the entire process, kind, understanding and flexible with us. He shared updates so we were assured Murphy was doing well, and Murphy had a great time. He seemed comfortable going in, and almost like he was sad his vacation had ended at pickup. He was well exercised and ready for a nap after vacation, just like we were!”
“Katy was great! she was very flexible and answered right away. Josie had a great time staying with her and a lot of fun with the other dogs there. She got to do her favorite thing, a hike! Thank you Katy! WE’ll definitely ask you to take care of Josie again!”
“Boning was great with Maple - gave great updates on what they were up to, how she walked and ate, etc. Maple was spoiled by cuddles and a great fenced in yard. We would be happy to book with her again!”
“Rylee was great! She gave care and attention to my cats while we were away. They seemed really happy and I loved the pictures I received. Highly recommend Rylee for your pet sitting needs”
“Megan was great! We came from out of town for an extended stay, and wanted to take a one day excursion without our dog Bentley. Even knowing it was likely to be a one-time dog-sitting opportunity - or at least very occasional - Megan was very responsive, arranged a meeting with her dog in advance, and when the day came, the two dogs and Megan all got along great! Bentley seemed happy to see us but reluctant to leave when we picked him up! And we got a lot of feedback and pictures during both days of his one-night stay. If the opportunity comes up again, we'll definitely turn to Megan again, too!”
About: Dogs have always been a special part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and quirks. I have experience with rescue dogs (have two of my own!) who often come with "trust issues." I value time with senior dogs, too. They are our teachers. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply a little extra love while you're away, I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to treat them like they’re my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in caring, capable hands. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have excellent daily availability for pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I’m able to easily work pet care into my everyday routine and give your pup the time and care they need. I provide a loving, attentive, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel at home. I have a friendly 2-year-old dog of my own and a crate available if your pup is crate-trained or needs some quiet time. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, my home abuts beautiful walking trails that dogs love to explore. I’m happy to provide plenty of walks, playtime, companionship, and individual attention based on each dog’s needs and routine.
“Courtney was great with our pup! It was the first time we were leaving him for a weekend and were a little worried but Courtney was really understanding and available to answer questions and ease my mind. She was super communicative and provided lots of updates and photos of Bilbo. Would definitely book again!”
“I can’t say enough of amazing things about Joanna and Matt. I was seriously thinking that my dog wouldn’t want to come back home to me after being treated like a princess for over a week. I was so comforted by intastagram videos, messages and pictures that I got while I was away. All you want, as a pet owner for someone to treat and take care of your dog as well as you do, I think Frankie got more than that ? Thank you guys! Frankie and I both really appreciate everything you’re done for her while I was away.”
About: I have always loved being around animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have 5 years of cat-sitting experience, and I also own two cats, so I understand how important patience, routine, cleanliness, and gentle attention are for cats. I’m comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving fresh water, playing, and making sure cats feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs. My family has had a dog at my mom’s home for 8 years, and I’ve helped with daily care, feeding, walking, playtime, and basic routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always do my best to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I do vendor work, so my busiest time is usually on weekends. During the week, my schedule is more flexible, and I’m happy to accept weekday boarding or pet care requests. Because my work hours are flexible, I can make time throughout the day to check on pets, feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always try to create a calm, clean, and safe environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take time to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are doing well.
“Shelley took great care of our dog, Frannie. When we met Shelley on our meet and greet, we knew right away that she would be a warm and caring sitter for our dog and we were very comfortable leaving Frannie in her care. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Dana and Nia were great! I had to find a last minute sitter for my two large dogs for 6 days. Dana was super accommodating and set my mind at ease with daily updates and pics. At 100lbs and 60lbs and leary of strangers, my pups are not easy to handle, but Dana stepped up to the plate and did an amazing job! I will definitely be sending my pups back!”
“Eric lived up to his very positive reviews: sensitive to our (very few) concerns, sending daily updates and photos, easy to communicate with--in short, everything one would hope for. His dog Snickers was an extra bonus.”
“We left our lab-beagle mix with Faith for about 10 days. Our dog, while very sweet at home, can be a handful at walks since she can be very stubborn when she sniffs food, and is also easily freaked out by bikes etc.. She took immediately to Faith, and Faith took amazing care of her, handling her well on walks, giving her cuddles, keeping her company all day long, having her even sleep in her bed, and letting her use the fenced in yard. It was a great relief to have her so well taking care of while we were travelling, much less stressful for her than boarding her at a kennel would have been. I can highly recommend Faith!”
“Patrick watched my very large golden for a long weekend. He sent me updates throughout his stay my dog came back to me happy and tired. Patrick is knowledgeable and kind. I'll use him again in a heartbeat.”
“Paula is the best ! We always rebook as Simba enjoys his time and is taken great care of at Paula’s house. Paula shares pictures regularly which assures that pup is having good time .Would recommend anyone looking for boarding or any other services in Rover with Paula. Thank you 🙏🏻”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in South Walpole is $65

We definitely lucked out finding Lyndsey & Evan!! They welcomed us and our boys (Pepper &Jack) with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement! I could tell immediately my boys felt right at home with them. I also felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them. They got multiple walks a day, endless playtime and cuddles. Thank you Lyndsey & Evan…We will see you again for sure 👍
Monica was absolutely amazing with Bruno! This was our first time leaving our puppy, so we were definitely a little nervous, but Monica made the whole experience so much easier. She gave us great suggestions to help Bruno feel comfortable and took such wonderful care of him. She kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely recommend Monica to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pup like family!
Seneca had a wonderful time with Christine and her family! He was smiling in all the pictures she shared with us every day, in fact he looked so happy we were not sure he would want to come home! Thank you Christine for taking such great care of our little man! Seneca hopes to spend another vacation week with you soon.

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.
94% of sitters in South Walpole 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 South Walpole home-away-from-home, 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 Walpole.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Walpole 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 , 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 .
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.
