“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
“These are the most awesome sitters that I would want to use them all the time if they were always available and not doing stupid things like going on vacation or watching other people’s dogs! Just kidding they’re the best!!! Aiko had a blast and loves them and can’t wait to use them again!!!”
“Cheyenne was AMAZING! She was on top of all communication with plenty of pictures, updates, and praises for my dog. I knew he was in good hands all weekend and would highly recommend Cheyenne to anyone. She was very understanding and flexible with pick-up and drop off as I was traveling from out of state.”
“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!”
“Amanda and her whole family are just great!!! She has lots of experience with dogs, just in general with everything that she has done in her life and continues to do she made me feel at ease and that Lucas was extremely well taken care of which I appreciate very much as it can be nerve-racking to leave your little furry friend I would most definitely recommend her and will be a repeat customer.”
“Sarah and her family were wonderful with our dog, Rory. It was clear he was getting lots of love and snuggles while we were away. Sarah provided pictures during our trip. We would gladly use Sarah again in the future!”
About: My husband and I both grew up with dogs and had the privilege of fostering several dogs while living in Rwanda for 2 years. This past May, we unexpectedly lost our beloved 11-year-old dog. She was so much more than a pet—she was truly a member of our family and had grown up alongside our children, ages 9 and 6. We’re not quite ready to fill the space she left behind, so we thought Rover might be a wonderful way to spend time with dogs again while giving another family peace of mind knowing their dog is being cared for and loved. Your dog is allowed on our furniture and has access to a large fenced in yard! Our dog was fear aggressive and we were unable to utilize a boarding facility. We can sympathize that leaving your dog can be difficult. We’ll treat them like one of our own—with lots of affection, patience, attention, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Having fostered dogs with very different personalities and backgrounds, we know that every dog has their own needs, quirks, and way of showing love. We’d love to welcome your dog into our home and give them the same love and care we’ve always given our own. Note: For the comfort and safety of your pup, we only care for dogs from one family at a time. We’re happy to accommodate two dogs from the same family, but we do not mix dogs from different households during the same stay. I work in healthcare on Monday and Wednesday evenings. On these days, I leave for work at 12pm and Patrick is home by 2:30pm. On Saturdays, I work a 12 hour shift and Patrick is home with our children. Our family does have occasional evening or weekend commitments for our children’s sports/activities, but these are typically short outings, and we are rarely away from home for more than four hours at a time. We’re happy to work with you to make sure your dog’s routine and needs fit comfortably into our schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule the majority of the week, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and breaks throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate a dog who needs more frequent potty breaks or simply prefers not to be alone for long periods (we've been there). We have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run to their heart's content. We will respect your wishes regarding your preferences for staying off of furniture, sleeping in a crate, etc. That said, your dog is welcome to sleep in our bed, lounge on the couch and take a snooze on our deck.
“Our dog, Auley, has stayed twice with Seonmin and soon for a third time! We trust her completely and haven’t had a single concern. Auley is new to sitters and has some anxieties, but she’s warmed up so quickly each time. We love to see the pictures of her being loved on! Can’t imagine using anyone else!”
“Linda and Chris were kind and answered all of my questions during our meet and greet. They were phenomenal with our senior dog and understanding about her needs. They administered meds and made sure she had some activity and plenty of love. They sent us regular updates. Their home was immaculate and the fenced in yard was a great relief.”
“Stefanie watched our 3yr old lab Levi for a long weekend. She was very kind and attentive to our dog. Sent many pics and updates for us. I could tell she truly loves dogs. We felt very comfortable with her care for our dog. I would highly recommend her. Best, Alivia”
“Levi was great with my lunas ! it was the longest i’ve been away from her, but Levi kept me updated on her adventures and she looked like the happiest dog. i highly recommend Levi for your dog boarding needs, we definitely will use him again in the future !”
“Heather was very easy to communicate with, very knowledgableand and very accommodating. She sent pictures too! I know my Tika enjoyed her stay. I would definitely use Heather again!”
“Annmarie is super communicative and easy to work with. I booked a three night stay at her house. About an hour after dropping my dog, I got an update on how he was settling in, along with pictures! It put my Mom-dog brain at ease. Every morning thereafter I got daily updates and pictures. And if I needed to message Annmarie, she was very responsive. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thank you Annmarie!”
“Kaylee seemed to really enjoy her time with Steve and Christine! They took great care of her and handled her meds while we were gone. She was so relaxed, she barely noticed that we had arrived to pick her up.”
“I felt that Stephen and Ceicilia took great care of Oliver. He was nice and fit, they took him for walks and were with him all the time. He seemed really happy and well taken care of .”
“Sierra is great! She was so communicative while we were out of town. She made sure our pup was well taken care of and was gentle in letting him acclimate to her house and other dogs. We’re so happy to have found her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Taunton
We just love Jonathan and Amy!!! They take such great care of our sweet Bella and go above and beyond. They noticed she wasn’t eating her food (maybe missing us?) so she put a little bit of wet food on and she gobbled it up. Sent us many pictures of her cozy in their home. It’s a great feeling to know she’s being loved when we are away.
I highly recommend Breanna. She was great with my anxious dog. She took time to make sure she understood his personality before we booked with her. She took great care of him while we were away and sent us many updates so we could relax knowing he was happy. Great experience and will definitely be back next time we travel.
Breanna is the BEST! She was so kind and took such good care of my mini dachshund Minnie 🩷 She updated us with pictures everyday and she gave us some good doggy care tips. She’s also a groomer, she groomed Minnie and she came home smelling amazing and looking so beautiful! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and we HIGHLY recommend her! Thank you again!!! Look forward to seeing you again in the future for sure 🥰 🐾🐾

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Taunton is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $55 and $78 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,695 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Taunton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Taunton 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 Taunton 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 Taunton.
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 Taunton. 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 Taunton 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.
