“Liliya did a wonderful job boarding our dog! She was so communicative, took wonderful pictures, and took care of our pup while he had an upset stomach. She is wonderful and we would highly recommend her, and her family to anyone looking for dog care or boarding!”
“Our 9 month old pup had a great stay with Julie! Julie was wonderful with her -- patient and kind and understanding of our pup's needs. Our dog loved playing in the backyard and snuggling in for the night. We enjoyed receiving photos and updates from Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“We are trying to keep Kira and her family a secret, they take such good care of our baby we don't want to share! But it gives such piece of mind to go on vacation and know your beloved pet is in good hands. Five stars!”
“Nancy is wonderful, kind an caring. I was gone for 6 days and Nancy would send me updates few times a day including pictures. My dog is old and needs patience and love and Nancy would provide all of that and beyond! I would highly recommend Nancy to take care of your pet.”
“Teddy and Penny had a great stay with Mliss and her family! They were both well taken care of and seemed very comfortable in her home. The daily picture updates were much appreciated and showed what a good time our pups were having!”
“I left my Pug with Gabrielle on a Sunday to Tuesday. Gabrielle was very conscientious, answered all questions, listened well and was very nice to both Wilbur and me. He obviously has a nice way with dogs and sent photos and video of Wilbur at random times. Wilbur was well taken care of, walked dependably, and was happy with Gabrielle and co. I highly recommend Gabrielle and look forward to seeing him again!”
“Meli is a fantastic sitter! She took awesome care of my pup, Chunk. I really enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout the day. It was a comfort knowing that he was in good hands. You can tell that she is very passionate about animals!”
“We selected Hugo & Julia to board our black lab, Beau for 5 days. He had a wonderful time under their care. He stayed with other dogs and got to run and play outside with them. Hugo & Julia sent updates and pictures often of Beau having a wonderful time during his stay. We will definitely use them again when we need to travel. Highly recommended!!”
“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.”
“Elaine was amazing! Our poor dog, Maddie, cannot do a kennel stay- she's too anxious for that. We left her with Elaine for about a week and received multiple updates every day! I had absolutely no worries about Maddie. When we returned she was her usual self (unlike other times we have gone away and left her elsewhere she tended to cling to me for DAYS after being away from me). Maddie went right back into her usual routine. I will definitely call Elaine again when we need dog care. She is GREAT, I highly recommend!”
“Claude had a good time and we loved the photos along the way - would definitely book with Sarah again! We could tell he got tons of attention from everyone in the family and really felt at home!”
“Briana was amazing in caring for our pup, Charlie! He had an absolute blast! She has a large yard for them to run around and treats all pups as her own!!! We received photos throughout the day and Charlie received endless cuddles. I cannot reccomend Briana enough!!!”
“Svetlana welcomed S. Punki into her family so that we felt like he was on a vacation too! We got daily feedback, with photos, videos, and messages. Svetlana asked questions when she wasn't sure, and was kind and caring. We could not ask for more. I definitely recommend Svetlana and hope to leave S. Punki in her care when we travel again.”
“As I was setting up the booking, Jacqueline gave me great confidence in her ability to take care of my doggos through her messages. During drop off, Jacqueline and her daughter were very thorough and very professional. During my dogs stay, I would text her to see how were things going and she would reply quickly with texts and pictures.”
“I can’t believe I haven’t left a review yet. Sara is the absolute best. Her knowledge of dogs and dog behavior is tops. My quirky rescue adores her and so do we. Sara’s a pro.”
“Lauren is absolutely incredible. I had a last min business trip come up and I reached out to her on my way to Massachusetts. Lauren was very responsive and even met me at a central location to pick up my dog, so I didn’t have to backtrack to work. I have an extremely active dog, if he doesn’t run at least five miles a day, he will drive just about any person absolutely insane. During my dogs stay with Lauren, I received numerous pictures and she had absolutely no problem matching his energy level. She also showed that she really does care and love for your pet as if they were her own by asking questions about what else he likes to do or his favorite treat, etc. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second leaving my dog with her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who really takes the time getting to know your pet and yet still does everything she can to keep your pets normal routine the same. Thank you very much Lauren!!”
“Melissa was great ! My two Golden Retrievers had such a great time and loved being around the kids. They came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they were in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southborough
We had such a fantastic experience leaving my dog Lyla with Sandra for a weekend. From the initial call I could tell that Sandra would take good care of my girl. She asked and answered many questions to make sure that it was the right fit for both of us. I felt so comfortable leaving Lyla with her and could tell Lyla was having a blast. She was very understanding with Lyla’s anxiety and sent me messages and photos. It made me feel so happy knowing Lyla was in good hands. I would leave 6 stars if I could :)

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Southborough on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,064 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 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 Southborough 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 Southborough 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 Southborough 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 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 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.
