“Sarah and Ben went above and beyond while watching our dog. He celebrated his birthday with them and they send us several pictures and spoiled him with treats. Great communication, easy pick up and drop off, and trust knowing our boy is in great hands.”

“Leo L was a fantastic host! He sent us a lot of pictures of our dog having fun. And made sure she got the exercise that she needed. He was very open to her schedule and I felt like he really cared about her well-being.”
“John and Sharon took top notch care of our pups! Our dogs had a wonderful vacation of their own, went on walks and got lots of love. We received daily updates and pictures which was very appreciated. It was obvious from the photos that our dogs loved their stay and were super comfortable and happy. One of our dogs even bonded with John and was sad to leave! We already booked our next boarding!”
“Alyson is always amazing watching my cat! He’s had some medical issues lately and she was extremely attentive, followed all my instructions, and gave me constant updates on how he was doing. My trip out of town was much much less stressful thanks to her. I would recommend Alyson for anyone looking to have their cat stay with someone while they are away. Thanks Alyson!!”
“Debbie was wonderful with my Scout. I got lots of updates while I was gone, which was appreciated especially since it was Scout’s first time qway. We will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend.”
“Jess was so phenomenal! We received so many pictures and our dog clearly loved his time with her and her family. We’re so thankful and will definitely book with Jess again.”
“Britney was a wonderful sitter for our lab over a long weekend. Our dog came home exhausted and happy after her weekend with Britney, which included lots of playing, walking the neighborhood, and snuggling. Britney provided my husband and I with photo updates frequently, which we appreciated. Would book with Britney again in a heartbeat!”
“Kevin was amazing with our dog! He constantly sent pictures and updates of her, and was always very responsive. Our doggo came back so happy. I would definitely book with him again!”

“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“This was our first time having Atticus stay with a non-family member. We were very nervous and anxious about leaving him. Richie was great with him and responded to all of our requests for updates and pictures pretty quickly. We would definitely have Atticus stay with Richie again next time we go away.”
“Paula and her family took great care of my baby. She was very responsive and understanding of his quirks. Took him to the park and for a hike which he clearly enjoyed judging from the pictures she sent. Definitely recommend Paula and would have my pup stay there again anytime.”
“Daniel and his dog Annie were a wonderful match for our dog, Tegan. He even arranged a meet-up beforehand so the dogs could get to know each other, which gave us peace of mind. During Tegan’s stay, Daniel sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Tegan usually takes a day or two to settle in and start eating when she’s in a new environment, but with Daniel and Annie she felt right at home from the start. We’ll definitely ask Daniel to watch Tegan again in the future!”
“Wendy and her family treated Lexi like a queen! She was well loved and cared for with frequent photos to let us see that Lexi was doing well. I do appreciate that Lexi was in such capable and kind hands. Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stoughton
Lucia was so great with our pup! He had a wonderful week staying with her while we travelled. It was clear that he was very well cared for. We got pictures every day and communication was fantastic the whole time. She was also very understanding when our train ran late and we had to modify the end of the trip a bit. Highly recommend Lucia!
Taco had a fabulous time with Taylor! And she shared so many videos of our pup enjoying his walks and playing with his elephant. I felt confident Taco was well cared for and happy while we were away. I also appreciate Grace for reading to Taco and teaching him how to behave with children. I LOVED the picture of him looking at the book while she read.
I can’t recommend Sarah and Ben highly enough! They took excellent care of Tito, sent us pictures daily with updates, and were attentive to any questions we had. Entrusting your dog to a new family for 5 days can seem daunting, but Tito was well-loved and cared for!
We have had Debbie watch our dog, Fenway, a couple of times now. We are very pleased with how well he has been taken care of while we were away. He loves to be outside, and the pictures that she sent us of him on their walks were fun to see! She is very flexible, and skilled at focusing in on your dog’s individual needs and preferences as well!
Isabella is a wonderful sitter!! We went away for 5 days and left Orion in the care of Isabella and her family. Orion seemed very happy and relaxed with his playmate, Ozzie, and stayed active with walks. Isabella took great care of him. She sent pics everyday and is very responsive. We were grateful for the updates and felt reassured he was in great hands. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and caring place for their dog.
Jack just stayed with Gabriella for the first time and I couldn't be more grateful for how good she was with him! Jack has separation anxiety and gets nervous meeting new people and being away from me. Heck, I get anxious too, but Gabriella and her boyfriend made us both feel completely at ease. Jack had 25/7 company and was given accommodations to ensure he was comfortable. I was given plenty of updates on how he was doing and he seemed to be enjoying his time the whole visit with lots of play time and affection. Upon bringing him home I could just tell how content he was with his stay. He wasn't overly anxious to see me which is amazing in comparison to other times he's stayed away from home. I felt completely confident he was in safe and loving hands the entire visit and would absolutely go to Gabriella in the future for pet sitting needs. Thanks again so much for taking such great care of my little guy!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Stoughton 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 Stoughton 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 Stoughton.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stoughton. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Stoughton 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
