“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“My fiancé and I needed accommodations for our pup last minute as we were visiting Salem just for the day, and Hannah was extremely quick to reply and more than incredible with Jojo. She sent us updates and a photo and also took him on a walk. She’s so kind and dependable, and I definitely recommend leaving your pup with her.”
“Manny had the best time with Marcia and Cosmo! He was well-cared for, exercised, and enriched during his stay. I appreciated the daily summaries, pictures, and videos. Marcia is our first choice for dogsitting!”
“Guillermo was awesome. He was flexible with our drop off and pick up times, sent us plenty of updates and our pup came home exhausted from his stay (the best possible outcome!). I would totally book with him again.”
“This was the first time we left our lab for 3 full nights. Lori sent me pics and videos so I knew our Shadow was having a great time - which allowed us to enjoy our time. When we first walked in to Lori’s home I could feel the comfort level for all pets and people alike. I could tell that Shadow would be able to relax. I will not hesitate to reach out to Lori for her availability if we need to travel for any reason. With the govt shutdown I was concerned that we might get delayed but Lori responded immediately to my concern and to any questions I had.”
“Rob is amazing! Home full of love and kindness, Frankie loves staying and hanging out here! If he weren’t home he would be at Robs! Thank you again for taking great care of our pup!”
“Yang was so great with our dog! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. She was also so wonderful to us, our flight was canceled and rescheduled for 2 days later. Luckily we were able to get out the following night but Yang was so accommodating and kind while we were in a state of worry. Lucky will be back in a few weeks for a second stay!”
“This was Rosie’s second stay with Rebeca, and she absolutely loved it! Rebeca took wonderful care of her and sent the cutest picture updates. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Wonderful! Carol has boarded my corgi several times now and she's been a pleasure to work with. She always take great care of my dog, she's communicative, flexible, and she's been available whenever I've needed her. Thanks Carol!”
“Xiuping is an amazing and responsive dog sitter! She sent me lots of pictures and messages throughout the stay, showing how well my dog was being taken care of. This definitely set my mind at ease, knowing and seeing that my dog was having a great time with her family. Dog care instructions were followed very well and she was able to accommodate my last minute requests. I will absolutely be recommending Xiuping to my friends and will have her and her family watch my dog again!”
“Yesika took amazing care of my dog, Charlie! She was very responsive, flexible with drop-off and pick-up times when something unexpected came up for me, and shared lots of photos during Charlie's stay. I could see that Charlie had tons of fun playing with the other pups outside in the fenced yard, and taking neighborhood walks. I will definitely be booking more stays with Yesika in the future!”
“This was a return visit for us and we were just as happy as we were the first time. So nice to work with, so good with our pup, and love the pictures and videos!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my dog and sent daily photos that showed how happy and relaxed he was. Her dog is very friendly and welcoming, and the two got along great. I felt confident that my dog was in gods hands and would definitely use their services again.”
“Our pup was happy in every picture & very excited but quickly calm when she got home, which to me says that she was happy to be home, but didn’t feel nervous at Aurora’s home! Aurora also was diligent to make sure our counter surfing, sneaky dog didn’t get human food during her stay. We will definitely book with Aurora again!”
“Elizabeth and Neil C. Are the best! I highly recommend them to watch your dog! They sent me videos of my dog throughout his stay with them! They are the sweetest and kindest couple! I Would definitely bring my Charlie back to them!❤️”
“Luke was absolutely wonderful! I got a ton of updates and bella was so happy the whole time! She went on little hikes , did some swimming, played fetch and got tons of love and snuggles! Highly recommend”
“Our dog Eevee had such a good time staying here and playing with Igo. Wonderful to get updates on how she was doing and to see that she had a great time and lots of fresh air in the fenced backyard! Thank you for following her feeding schedule, for grooming her and brushing her teeth and taking such good care of our girl 🤗”
“As always, Seamus and Bon went above and beyond to provide great care for Maybelle! We were away for several weeks and needed Seamus to drop off and pick up Maybelle from another sitter due to schedule conflicts. He handled the communication and transfer seamlessly, which set my mind at ease. Seamus sends great daily updates and I always know that Maybelle is extremely well cared for in his home.”
About: I grew up in Burlington, Vermont surrounded by dogs and have had them nearly my entire life. Today I have two Mini Australian Shepherds, Rosie and Chili, who keep me on my toes with their high energy, intelligence, and need for constant engagement. Because of them, I’m very comfortable caring for active breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent routines. Our days include long walks, outdoor adventures, puzzle toys, tug-of-war, training reinforcement, and plenty of playtime balanced with calm downtime. A fun piece of my background — my mom bred Mini Aussies for six years, and I actually helped deliver and care for many of the litters. From puppies to senior dogs, I understand behavior, body language, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because my lifestyle already revolves around my own dogs. Working from home helps a lot with this. I’m active, reliable, and organized, which allows me to provide dependable care whether that means drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, triggers, and comfort level before care begins. In a client’s home, I respect established routines to keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. I closely supervise play, use secure leashing practices, and maintain awareness of surroundings during walks. With experience raising high-energy working breeds, I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation to prevent anxiety or destructive behavior. I work in sales and constantly have my phone on me. I usually respond immediately unless I am in a meeting.
“Chanel was an amazing host for our senior Shih Tsu, Kody. She made Kody feel right at home. She’s a natural caregiver, but also followed all the instructions and care tips we provided (morning meds, feeding, walks, etc.). Chanel was super communicative and made sure that we were updated during Kody’s stay. What a relief for us! (Thank you, Chanel. We’ll be back).”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stoneham
Fantastic boarding for our 3 year old border collie beans, Monali was proactive and constantly sent updates and photos, ensured to take her out for long walks and for play dates at the fells. Would totally recommend her and will be going back to Monali for any future dog sitting needs :)
Frank had a great time and Carol was very responsive! She sent lots of pics and updates on what Frank was up to. Our dog can be a little nervous, so we are very grateful to have someone who recognized and catered to that. He sometimes needs a little extra love and cuddles to feel comfortable. We are so happy to have him home, and it’s clear he had a fun week. Thank you, Carol!!
We had a great experience leaving our dog with Séamus! We could tell that Hank was well cared for and happy the whole time. Communication was easy and they were also very flexible when our flight got cancelled and required our dog to stay another night. Can’t recommend them enough!!
Fantastic dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my dog and sent daily photos that showed how happy and relaxed he was. Her dog is very friendly and welcoming, and the two got along great. I felt confident that my dog was in gods hands and would definitely use their services again.
Belinda took great care of our dog, Joy, and was awesome at communicating and sending photos/videos. Joy is a puppy in a big dog body, so full of extra energy, which Belinda handled with ease. She cared for Joy during one of the worst heat waves of the summer and kept her cool and comfortable. I highly recommend Belinda!
Marcia is spectacular. She offers everything you hope for when leaving your pup. It’s our first time with her and the 3rd place I’ve tried with my wheaten because of his anxiety. He did really well and found himself a second home where his fun, playful side shone. I highly recommend Marcia. Thank you Marcia. 🙏
Michael and his family were great! He provided updates all throughout the day. He really got to truly understand Ziggy, his needs, his quirks in such a short amount of time. He also followed his schedule to a tee! I felt super comfortable with him watching Ziggy and would definitely recommend.
Mandy is cheerful and easy-going. She provided photos of my pet regularly and confirmed that meals were consumed (since our pet refuses to eat at times) and exercise was given. The fenced yard and deck are ample for fresh air breaks and Ruby seemed very much at home during her stay.
Victoria and family took great care of our dogs for the week while the rest of my family took a vacation. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and was quick to respond when I asked to updates. She was also very flexible about pickup and drop off times. The dogs seemed to have a good time, and Victoria will be going on our list of people to reach out to again next time we need dog sitting. Thank you!
Julie is great! Scout was so happy at her place and they went on many adventures together. She’s very responsible and made sure we had all the information we needed before and during his stay. Drop off and pick up were easy and we’ll have scout stay with Julie from now on. 😊
Heather took great care of my goldendoodle (Riva) for a weekend. Heather was very communicative and shared pictures and updates throughout the stay, and it was comforting to see Riva looking so relaxed and at home. She seemed to fit right into Heather's family! I would definitely recommend Heather to others.
Everything went absolutely wonderfully with Olivia and Adam. We left our dog Chelsie with them for a long stay of about 2.5 weeks, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chelsie can be a bit anxious when staying with someone new, and to be honest, we were anxious too. We know all the little quirks and routines of our dog, but of course it’s impossible to explain every tiny detail ahead of time. Still, they handled everything incredibly well and made her feel comfortable very quickly. They constantly sent photos and updates, which I was extremely grateful for because it allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. It was very clear from the updates that Chelsie was happy, comfortable, and having her own little vacation. At one point we joked that she might not even want to come back home after staying with them. Highly recommend them, especially if you’re nervous about leaving your dog for a longer stay.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stoneham on Rover is $77.26 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,006 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stoneham. 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 Stoneham 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 Stoneham 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 Stoneham 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 Stoneham.
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 Stoneham 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.
