“Svetlana and her family were amazing with Cornelius. Normally, I get nervous leaving Cornelius for my trips, but she checked in with me everyday, brought him on errands, and send me pics of him happy and healthy daily. I will definitely book again!!!”
“Nancy took amazing care of our dogs for almost 2 weeks while we were away in Europe. She communicated to us daily with photos to match her captions, letting us know they were doing well (they are old and not in the best of health). We were so grateful she could take them a month before we were to leave (we had a family emergency so needed a back up plan) especially during the holiday season! She was so thoughtful to help us out and go to the store when we neglected to pack their doggie treats. We highly recommend Nancy - she treated our dogs as if they were her own! ❤️”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“Xiaoxue was great. I'm always nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. She let us come over to visit before hand and kept in touch with any concerns and fun updates throughout the week.”
“Jacqueline is very reliable and we know that our dog is always in good hands when she’s taking care of him. She provides consistent updates with pictures and communicates well.”
“Our second visit to Julia and Hugo was great again. Sadie recognized the place and ran right in. Warmth and attentiveness greeted her. Our girl is happy with them and we feel secure.”
“Yulia was very sweet and kind; and amazing with Kash. I was a bit nervous as this was his first leaving him with a sitter for the weekend but surprisingly he did great. And I believe it was how Yulia treated him so he felt safe. Definitely will rebook☺️☺️!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Sarah, Luis, and their family! They took care of our sweet Gracie for five days while we were away on vacation, and we couldn’t have been happier with the love and attention she received! Sarah sent us daily updates and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind knowing Gracie was happy and being so well cared for. It was clear that their whole family absolutely loved having her! Gracie enjoyed walks at the apple orchard and plenty of car rides, which are some of her favorite things! One thing we especially appreciated is that they only care for one dog at a time. It was so reassuring to know Gracie was the only dog in their home and was getting so much individual attention in a comfortable, loving family environment. We truly felt like Gracie was treated as part of their family rather than just a dog they were watching. We are so grateful to Sarah, Luis, and their family for taking such wonderful care of her. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and welcoming home for their dog while they’re away. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Aspen was so well cared for! We loved the pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Aspen was cared for as if we left her with family. So grateful for Tomoe and her family.”
“Very happy with J & J! We took a last minute trip and they responded quickly. They took good care of Milo, sent pictures, and i could tell he was happy there. Would definitely book again!”
“I am so grateful for the wonderful care Michiko and Clifford gave my small and anxious dog for her two- day visit. They made sure to understand and accommodate her feeding and routines, and their thoughtful reports showed that she was receiving lots of attention. The daily updates and pictures were great to receive, and I especially enjoyed knowing she also had the good company of their friendly dog. I am confident that she was safe and happy in their home.”
“I cannot thank this family enough for the incredible care they provided. In a moment of high stress—when my wife went into labor at the last minute—they stepped in and looked after our senior dog, Otoko, without hesitation. Otoko is 16 years old and has a variety of medical issues that require a lot of patience and specialized attention. They didn't just "watch" him; they treated him like a member of their own family. They were incredibly attentive to his needs, taking him for gentle walks and even hand-feeding him to ensure he was getting his meals. Throughout the stay, they sent frequent pictures and videos, which gave us such immense peace of mind while we were at the hospital. Knowing he was being so well-loved and attended to allowed us to focus on our new arrival. If you are looking for sitters who truly love dogs and will go above and beyond for a senior pup with extra needs, look no further. They are an extraordinary family!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Emily. She was very flexible with my schedule, the communication was amazing. Mostly importantly she was wonderful with Stella. She kept me updated with photos and messages and you could see Stella was loving her time with Emily. I would not hesitate to book another stay.”
“Ana took such good care of our pup Rosie! She was so easy to communicate with and sent daily updates, with pictures and videos! Rosie loved playing with her dog, Lola, and came home exhausted in the best way!”
“Zelun and his wife took AMAZING care of my dog while I was gone for over a week! They sent pictures and videos, took him on a little day trip (pre approved) and definitely loved my pup as their own while I was away :)”
“Shuhua is such an amazing dog sitter. She treats my dog with such care and love, send me tons of pictures and updates, that I feel completely stress free when I’m traveling. My dog is in great hands!!! Maybe better hands than mine! :)”
“Our sweet 10-year-old pup had a wonderful 5-day stay with Liza right after Christmas. Tamsin can be a little shy, but Liza runs a very dog-friendly house: nap time on the sofa, plenty of play time in her large fenced-in back yard. Tam fit right in. This was Tam's first time staying with Liza. She'll be happy to return!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Southborough is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 4,104 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Southborough. 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.
94% of sitters in Southborough 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 Southborough 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 Southborough.
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 Southborough 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.
