“John and Sharon were very accommodating and Darby was in "zen mode" when I picked him up. He was well cared for and they were wonderful to work with. Thank you!”
“Dennis took great care of my two dogs. They obviously had a wonderful time playing, going on nice walks, and being welcomed to his family: his daughters were superb with my pups as well. In addition, Dennis was also very proactive in getting in touch with me and easy to communicate. Excellent care and experience!”
“Thank you so much for bandits visit! Sarah and Ben are fantastic dog sitters that were very accommodating. Bandit seemed to really love his time there and didn’t want to come home from his vacation.”
“Andrew, Heidi and family were amazing sitters! Very laid back and easy to communicate with. They have a bucket of balls and toys and a big back yard. My Lily settled right in. They took her on several walks and sent pics and updates. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Boning was great with Maple - gave great updates on what they were up to, how she walked and ate, etc. Maple was spoiled by cuddles and a great fenced in yard. We would be happy to book with her again!”
“We boarded our dog with Debbie for two weeks while on vacation. She was very thorough and provided us with daily updates and pictures. Debbie clearly loves dogs, and we would definitely board with her again!”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Heather was so great - accommodating, friendly, and communicative! Honey had a blast in her huge fenced in yard and we loved getting updates and pictures while we were away. Would definitely recommend Heather!”

About: I have always loved being around animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have 5 years of cat-sitting experience, and I also own two cats, so I understand how important patience, routine, cleanliness, and gentle attention are for cats. I’m comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving fresh water, playing, and making sure cats feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs. My family has had a dog at my mom’s home for 8 years, and I’ve helped with daily care, feeding, walking, playtime, and basic routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always do my best to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I do vendor work, so my busiest time is usually on weekends. During the week, my schedule is more flexible, and I’m happy to accept weekday boarding or pet care requests. Because my work hours are flexible, I can make time throughout the day to check on pets, feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always try to create a calm, clean, and safe environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take time to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are doing well.
“Taylor provided a great home for snowball during a last minute request. Daily long walks, multiple pictures and videos throughout the day and extremely responsive. Communication was consistent and overall a great experience. I can’t recommend Taylor enough. Snowball came back home fully groomed and looking better than when I dropped him off.”
“Paula is absolutely amazing. She is extremely careful, loving, and incredibly professional. I was very happy leaving my Nina with her and I am looking forward to our next opportunity!”
“Julie was absolutely incredible with our dogs this weekend. From the moment she arrived, her kindness and warmth were so genuine, and our pups took to her right away. She went above and beyond in every way, thoughtful updates, tons of photos, and little details that made us feel completely at ease while we were away and missing our babies. Our dogs are older and require daily medication, and she handled everything with such care and confidence. They were so spoiled the entire time, always on soft blankets, always comfortable, and clearly so happy to be with her. It was obvious they felt safe, loved, and well cared for. Julie is truly exceptional, and we are so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us. We can’t wait to have her watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you, Julie, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet pups!! ♥️♥️”
About: I love all pups and will treat your fur babies as my own 🐾 I have been caring for big dogs since I was a child and have always had a love for them. I also have previous experience working at a doggie daycare, with dogs all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and will be home with your pups to follow their bathroom and feeding schedule and get lots of play time and cuddles while they’re in my care! I wake up around 7 am, feeding and bathroom routine, play time and walks throughout the day. I can also stick to any routine needed. There is currently one dog in my home, so I will only be caring for one additional dog at a time. My apartment complex has grassy areas for bathroom time, and I have plenty of room for your dog to play and rest. Neighborhood walks are also available.
“Alex is an exceptional caretaker and we are so relieved we found him! We left for our first trip away from our superstar Rufus, and Alex couldn’t have been more understanding and thoughtful with the communication of photos, videos, and calls when we were missing our pup. Alex was also flexible when our flight was delayed and we appreciated that greatly. Thank you again Alex, we look forward to Ru having a place to stay with you in the future!”
“Tomoe was fantastic! Our shih tzu Dobby got so much love and attention, and Tomoe sent pictures, texts, and videos with updates on how he was doing. I would highly recommend Tomoe and will definitely leave my dog with her again.”
“Dan was great with my two dogs. Very communicative and sent many updates/photos which I appreciated. Also kept me updated with what they did during the day. The dogs seemed very happy and comfortable there. Dan also did well with my senior dog who definitely has his quirks at times. Thank you!”
“Rocky had a great time staying with Sarah and Luis! He was well cared for and had plenty of fresh air, walks and play time. I received pictures and notes throughout Rocky’s stay. I would highly recommend them if you want the best care for your furry family member!! 5 star experience all around!🐕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”

We left our lab-beagle mix with Faith for about 10 days. Our dog, while very sweet at home, can be a handful at walks since she can be very stubborn when she sniffs food, and is also easily freaked out by bikes etc.. She took immediately to Faith, and Faith took amazing care of her, handling her well on walks, giving her cuddles, keeping her company all day long, having her even sleep in her bed, and letting her use the fenced in yard. It was a great relief to have her so well taking care of while we were travelling, much less stressful for her than boarding her at a kennel would have been. I can highly recommend Faith!
We definitely lucked out finding Lyndsey & Evan!! They welcomed us and our boys (Pepper &Jack) with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement! I could tell immediately my boys felt right at home with them. I also felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them. They got multiple walks a day, endless playtime and cuddles. Thank you Lyndsey & Evan…We will see you again for sure 👍
Seneca had a wonderful time with Christine and her family! He was smiling in all the pictures she shared with us every day, in fact he looked so happy we were not sure he would want to come home! Thank you Christine for taking such great care of our little man! Seneca hopes to spend another vacation week with you soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Walpole is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $89 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 of October 2026, there are 4,262 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Walpole. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Walpole 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 Walpole 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 Walpole.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Walpole 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.
