“Alan and Luis took great care of our Maggie. We are planning a longer vacation in the near future. I wanted Maggie to have an opportunity to get acclimated before our longer trip. Maggie was only at Alan and Luis’ house for one night and I received multiple photos. It was so reassuring that she was well taken care of. Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend them.”
“Carmela was super nice with my elder dog. My chihuahua suffered violence from a teenager and now his behavior is not the best. Carmela was so comprehensive and knew how to manage him to keep him feel safe in her home. I am so thankful that she received my baby in her home for the time I had to travel.”
“Sandra was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with, and I knew Otis was in great hands. He came home happy and relaxed after his stay. ✨”
“Sarah was quick to respond to my request, and was willing to work with me regarding drop off and pick up times. I really appreciated her taking time for both my senior pup and I to feel comfortable before I left. My girl was happy when I picked her up, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Sarah!”
“Eric and Abigale (and their daughter) took great care of Willow. Willow felt right at home as soon as she got to their house and their duaghter was so sweet with Willow. We will defintely use Eric and Abigale again if we are back in the Chicopee area.”
“Katie was great! She was very nice and outgoing. She arranged a meet and greet prior to scheduled date and she interacted with my puppy well and brought her dog Storm to play with my puppy. When dropping my puppy off, her house was clean and spacious for Gumby’s stay. She listened to any specific requests related to Gumby. I enjoyed Katie and trusted her with my puppy. I will continue to use Katie as a dog sitter in the future.”
“This was Bodhi’s second stay with Katie and her family. They took wonderful care of him and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet with loving care and attention.”
“Sarah was amazing! From the beginning, she was very responsive to all of our questions about the booking. Our dog tends to be shy and can sometimes be aggressive with other dogs, but Sarah made it work, and our dog got along with hers right away. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog was very happy during her stay! We will definitely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Summer was amazing with our dog, Abby. She provided pictures and updates regularly. Abby seemed really comfortable when we took her to meet Summer. We appreciate all of the snuggle time Abby got and will not hesitate to leave her in Summer’s care again! Thank you for everything, Summer.”
“I booked Rachel last minute fully expecting for her to not respond or say she was available and she responded within minutes for my last second request. She and her family took excellent care of Hank and sent me several pictures and updates through out. 10/10. Very happy to have found someone trust worthy i can leave my dog with and have no worries without feeling like i am burdening friends or family.”
“Oh my goodness, where do I start?! I was terrified to leave my 5 year old Frenchie with anyone while I went on a family cruise because he had just been prescribed daily meditation for severe back pain. My friends and family all had plans so I took my chances and turned to Rover.com. I read through a ton of reviews and finally chose Briana. Boy, am I GLAD I did??!! I feel like I hit the jackpot!!!!!! Briana was a true God send!!! From the very first text interaction, I knew she was the one! She asked ALL the right questions and even offered to do a meet and greet beforehand! She was warm, inviting and extremely responsive before we had even met. Her home is beautiful and immaculate, and my baby felt right at home with her and her loving family! She stayed in contact, sent pictures and videos and was just as much of a “nurse” as I am with his daily meditation and TLC!! She even went the extra mile to get him more fresh food because I accidentally didn’t pack enough (the joys of packing an entire family for a cruise will sometimes make you forget about the family pets needs😩😂). When my Frenchie was leaving her home, he turned around a dozen times (in his own way of saying goodbye) and even watched her home from the car window as we drove way— which was a sign that he was loved and cared for enough to feel sad to leave them. THAT was my sign to add her to my contacts list as his forever dog sitter!! I CAN NOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!!!! If you’re looking for a “second family” for your fur baby, SHE should be choice!!! I am SO glad I made the perfect decision for him,AND us as a family!! Gift yourself the peace of mind you need while you’re away and chose this sitter. Thank me later!!! 😜”
“Jessiana is the perfect pet sitter. My pup always comes home happy and really enjoys his stay. Can always count on her to provide top notch care for my little buddy.”
“We are so grateful for Philippe! He watched our dogs for an extended amount of time and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received and neither could our dogs. Our Goldendoodle was very anxious but due to Philippe dog handling he’s come back much more relaxed and easier to handle. We will continue to use Philippe as long as he’s available snd we highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants peace of mind that their dogs will be taken care of with love and care!”
“Hannah is awesome! She takes the dogs out and I’m pretty sure we got her back cleaner than when we dropped off lol. And a lot more she does I’m sure than others. Thanks Hannah!”
“Mylinda is FANTASTIC!!! I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. She sent me lots of photos of their walks together. When I picked him up after a weekend away he was super happy. I'll most definitely have Mylinda watch my dog when I'm away in a couple of months. I would give her more 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“My Sami was one happy tired dog when she came back home. Liz did great and communicated to me at all times which made me feel at ease and comfortable. Will recommend and use her services again.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Southwick is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $81 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.

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 Southwick 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 Southwick 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 Southwick.
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 Southwick 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.
