“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Trixie! It’s greatly appreciated. While we hate leaving her, knowing someone else cares for her as much as we do makes it a little easier.”
“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”
About: I have had pets in my life since I was a baby. We have enjoyed a lab, standard poodle and currently a mini cocker spaniel poodle mix. I love getting outside and being active with pets. I am at home with my daughter most of the time and I enjoy doing side hustles like selling vintage clothing online and seeking out antiques. We get outside with our dog, Carl often and would love to get a chance to offer outside time and love to other pets on Rover too! I always approach pets slowly with care and love. They feel our energy big time and have so much to share with us when we give them the chance.

“Michael took excellent care of my door. He was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated on my dog’s status throughout the stay. The facilities were clean, safe, and well maintained. Highly recommend.”
“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
“This was my first time ever living my puppy Kimchi with anyone other than my family and I can tell you with sooooo much confidence that Paola and her husband did a magnificent job at taking care of my pup! She stayed with them for almost an entire week and I got updates and photos every single day! I can’t recommend Paola and her Husband enough!”
About: I rescued our family dog 4 years ago, he is now 10 years old. Yes, we rescued a Senior. We love him! For the past year we (my daughters and I) decided to foster dogs until they were adopted. We had rescued over a dozen and continue to do so. I want to continue my love for dogs with adding current pawrents and caring for their pets. I am a non-traditional college student, and work part time. I have time to add pet care to the mix. I don't work on the weekends. I have leashes to walk the dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I do have a long runner that the dog feels free. Even though I would be more inclined to going to your home.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received while I was away! Lingwen was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their hands. She was so professional, friendly, and attentive, taking the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences. During the time I was away, Lingwen kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. My dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pets!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our 9 month old puppy Bo. Samantha is amazing!!! She took such great care of Bo! He arrived to her with a fear of stairs from slipping on a couple of steps recently. Samantha worked on his fear while he was with her. He is a little timid still, but since getting home yesterday from Samantha’s, he went up and down with no problem. She even gave us tips and tricks to use if he was reluctant. He enjoyed walks with Samantha and has a new friend, her dog Mac and got to enjoy playing with him. We were updated daily and I had no worries @ all while we were away. We will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“We recently had the pleasure of leaving our beloved Cavapoo, Leo, in the care of Melissa, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Leo, being the picky eater he is, can be quite a handful, but Melissa handled everything with grace and dedication. From the moment we met Melissa, it was clear that Leo was in good hands. She went above and beyond to ensure Leo's comfort and well-being. Understanding his finicky eating habits, she took extra care to prepare his meals and making sure he ate properly. What truly set Melissa apart was her consistent communication. She sent us regular updates and adorable pictures of Leo enjoying his time, which not only kept us informed but also made our vacation so much more peaceful and enjoyable. She even checked in with us to ask how our vacation was going, consistently ensuring that we were happy and reassured. Melissa's deep affection for animals was evident as she lovingly referred to Leo as "baby" throughout his stay. Thanks to Melissa, we were able to relax and enjoy our time away, knowing Leo was happy and well-cared for. Her attentiveness and genuine love for animals shown through in every interaction. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and loving Dog sitter. If you ever want to leave your loving dog to have a lovely vacation and be assured the dog is in good hands, look no further than Melissa. Thank you, Melissa, for making Leo's stay so wonderful and for giving us peace of mind during our vacation!”
“Saskia took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. We received daily pictures and updates. Saskia was great at reaching out and addressing any concerns promptly. We were thrilled with her care of our energetic pup and will not hesitate to book again. Thanks!”
“Felicia took good care of my 2 dogs. There was good communication. She also takes extra effort to accommodate our schedule. We really appreciate it. I already have another booking with her coming up soon.”
“Lindsay - and the kids! - were great with our dogs. They love having them around. She was also always quick on communications and very flexible, which was important as my trip got extended. Highly recommended, and I’d definitely use her services again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southbridge
Julie has been fantastic with Twix, our peculiar rescue pit mix. It’s been so difficult finding the right dog sitter. Twix was so happy and calm when we came to pick her up, which was a first! Getting great reports about her while away and when we came back was reassuring. Julie is attentive to our dog’s needs and treats her like her own.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Southbridge is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $81 per night.

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.
96% of sitters in Southbridge 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 Southbridge 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 Southbridge.
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 Southbridge 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.
