“Dogs came home happy and well balanced! Clearly they had been well cared for and given the proper amount of exercise. Kexin and Carlos sent lots of pictures and videos giving me a lot of confidence and comfort in knowing that selecting them was the right choice! My dogs loved their large, fenced in backyard! My 2 dogs got along beautifully with their dog and cats. They even added some healthy supplements to my dogs’ food that they add to their dog’s food! Will be using them again soon!”
“Alex and Joey have been AMAZING in their care of Bruno, our English bulldog. They have shown him (and me) the best of animal-loving open hearts in having him stay with them while I am away. He has stayed twice and is booked ahead for two more stays. They are reliable and knowledgeable, and I recommend them without any hesitation at all. Thank you to Alex and Joey for having him!”
“Dobbs is family to me, so finding someone I trust isn't easy. Melissa exceeded every expectation. From the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up, she kept me updated with photos and messages that showed him happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. Seeing him playing, relaxing, and making new friends made it clear he wasn't just being watched—he was being cared for and loved. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Melissa, for treating my boy like one of your own. We'll definitely be back.”
“My dog Kuma recently stayed with Erin for 4 days and I couldn’t be more happy with the experience. From start to finish, Erin provided exceptional care for my dog, with daily updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was also great to hear that he had ample opportunities for walks and outdoor playtime. I will definitely be returning for future pet-sitting needs.”
“Sarah was terrific with our dog Dougal. Communication was great and everything went to plan. We were very pleased to have found Sarah and would be happy to have her look after Dougal again. We would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Emily was amazing, she took care of our puppy so well, and was so sweet with her, also helped me with my first time finding a dog sitter stress and in a very short noticed too! Emily thank you so much”
“Amy and Ryan are wonderful and so accommodating. They're able to keep constant care of our little guy Gersh, and give us the confidence we want that he'll be okay when we need to be away. Our flight home was recently delayed and with our work schedules the following day it could've been an issue, but we thankfully didn't need to worry. They immediately let us know it wouldn't be a problem at all, and were so understandable and easy to coordinate with. We're happy to have found them, and so is Gersh! Thank you!”
“Odie always has such a great time. He loves it there. Bethany always goes above and beyond leaving us with no worries when Odie is in her care! Thank you so much for that piece of mind.”
“Erica did a fantastic job looking after our two Aussies! We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience working with her and will definitely book again with her. I highly recommend!!”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi, I’m Marilyn! I have been caring for animals since I was 12 years old, starting with my neighbors' cats and expanding to dogs as I gained experience. Medication & Special Care Experience With my nursing training and years of pet ownership, I am very comfortable managing special health needs. I am experienced in administering: Oral Medications (I’m a pro at using pill pockets, cheese, or whatever trick your pet prefers!) Topical Treatments Ear Drops Meet My Pack: We are a pet-loving household! When you book with me, your pet will be sharing space with my sweet fur-family. My French Bulldog: He is an 8-year-old Frenchie who is incredibly laid-back and absolutely wonderful with kids and other animals. My Two Cats: Nemo and Milo. They are energetic, sweet kittens (born in October and November 2025) who are well-adjusted to a busy, animal-friendly home. Home Environment & Boarding Accommodations I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as they do in their own home. My house is fully equipped for secure, happy stays: Fenced-In Yard: Perfect for safe, supervised playtime and quick potty breaks. Finished Basement with Baby Gates: I have a spacious, finished basement that is perfect for giving pets their own dedicated zone. If your pet isn't fully comfortable around cats, I can easily keep them separated using baby gates. Crate-Friendly: If your dog prefers to sleep in a crate or is crated for safety when unsupervised, I am happy to utilize a crate according to your exact preferences. Whether your pet needs active playtime in the yard, quiet companionship while I study, or precise medication schedules, I am here to treat them like a member of my own family. I can't wait to meet your pup or kitty! As a stay-at-home mom and part-time nursing student, nurturing and safety are second nature to me. My nursing classes only take up 2 days of my week, leaving me with wide-open availability to care for your pet the rest of the time. Because I am home so much, I can cater to all of their needs—from high-energy play sessions to specialized care routines. You can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in attentive, loving hands! My goal is to provide a "home away from home" that mirrors the safety and structure they have at your house. Home & Environment: Secure Yard: Large, fenced-in area for supervised outdoor time. Hydration: Constant access to filtered, fresh water. Socialization: My two young sons, our friendly 8-year-old Frenchie, and two cats make for a social environment, but we can easily accommodate dogs who need their own space. Crate Ready: I can utilize your pup’s crate for sleeping or breaks to maintain their existing training and comfort. My Promise: I am highly detail-oriented and will follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and behavior to the letter. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my primary concerns.
“For a recent family vacation we used DogVacay for the first time. Mariann was an excellent introduction to the service. We received daily messages with images, so we always knew our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend.”
“So grateful to Ali and Chris for stepping in last minute after our sitter canceled. They took such great care of Athena, who had a wonderful time with her new doggie friends. They kept us updated the whole time and were truly a lifesaver—we’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Sara was great with my dogs! it was a great experience, my dogs came home tired and happy after a weekend with Sara, I will recommend her to friends & willl be booking with her in the future.”
“Melissa was really great with Vinnie . Firstly, I reached out to her at the last minute which she accommodated. Then I was worried as it was the first time she was looking after Vinnie. But Melissa put all my worries at ease, she asked the right questions and promptly responded to all of mine . Vinnie had some great company with other dogs and absolutely had fun ! I will go back to Melissa again in a hear beat!”
“Krista and Henry are the best! I had been looking for the right sitter for my boy Barney for months, and I finally found them in Krista and Henry! I am the epitome of a paranoid helicopter parent, and Krista & Henry were absolutely wonderful in putting my mind at ease. They allowed me several meet & greets to ensure Barney and I were 100% comfortable, which was a huge deal for me. When the time came for Barney to stay with them, I received multiple updates with photos daily, which assured me my boy was doing great, receiving unlimited love and exceptional care and having fun. I highly recommend Krista and Henry and will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Andreana is wonderful! Our pup, Mona, felt immediately at home with her and Milo. This was our first time leaving Mona for a couple of days with someone she didn’t know and we were confident she would be well cared for. We are going away for a few days next month and I can’t wait!”
“Melissa & Axel took amazing care of our golden retriever over a two night weekend stay. They sent us plenty of updates and we could tell that our dog loved the stay with their family.”
“We have sent our dog to board at Michael's several times now. This was a 3-week stay and our dog was well cared for and loved. Michael always responds quickly to our messages. The care is professional. There's lots of space outdoor for them to play and explore. This is a repeated booking, and we'll send our dog here again. Highly recommend!”

Jen was so lovely and replied to my questions often. I always get nervous when leaving Roxy in a new-to-her place, but hearing how she was doing and adapting to the environment set my mind at ease. She was also very gracious and accommodating when my flight was delayed and I had to pick up Roxy later than we agreed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Jen again!
Jen and her family took great care of our dog and we are so grateful! Hobbes loves to play catch and Jen’s kids played with him frequently based on Jen’s updates and photos. This was our dog’s first time staying with strangers and he seemed sad to leave the kids after. We only interacted with Jen through the app but got to meet her husband and a few of their children for the meet-and-greet, drop off and pick up. We would love to book Jen and her family again in the future!
We had an amazing experience! Our 2½-year-old rescue rat terrier mix is high-energy and can be pretty anxious, but he was so well cared for and looked completely at ease. We loved getting lots of photos and updates, and the fenced-in yard gave him plenty of room to run and play. He came home happy, tired, and clearly loved. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again—highly recommend!

There are 3,664 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Upton. About 90% of Upton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
