“We had a great experience with Sean! It was our first time using rover and he was awesome to work with. He was super responsive and gave us daily updates and pics of our pup which we loved. Would use him again!”
“They were incredibly professional and super friendly. They sent us pictures and videos of our dog to keep us updated. We could tell how comfortable and loved our dog was. They were great and would highly recommend them.”
“Debbie took amazing care of my tiny pupp! He felt comfortable within minutes of our meet and greet. My dog can be very shy but he made himself at home right away. He especially loved one of her dogs and they played/snuggled together. I was even (very) late to pick up and she was very flexible/understanding. I more than appreciate her taking care of my furbaby!”
“Courtney was SO communicative while she was watching my dog, Tito! Always responsive and sent daily picture updates so we knew he was in good hands while we were traveling. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Julie was great! It is clear that she cares so much about animals. She was easy to coordinate with and receptive to all of the things we told her about our dog. Easton had a blast running around the yard with her dog and he came home exhausted. Absolutely will use Julie again!”
“Heather was amazing with our dog! She gave her lots of love, walks, and play time, and also gave our dog her meds on schedule. We received daily updates and photos as well. Definitely recommend!”

I do work a 7am-5pm but I’m happy to help out with your pets after work or on the weekends I’m committed to providing a safe environment for your pet and I will always keep you update on your pet with text messages and pictures!
“Jing was amazing with our older dog. She treated him like her own and took him on walks, played with him and gave him lots of love. She sent me pictures throughout the whole 12 days we were away. He seemed very happy”
“Christine provided a loving home away from home for Azalea, as well as a built in playmate with her own dog. Lots of photo updates and check ins so I always felt at ease. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Ralphie had a great time with Brianne! She was super responsive and sent many cute photos! I had a great peace of mind while traveling abroad. We are excited for Ralphie to stay there again soon!!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had a meet and greet with Katy and she was wonderful with the girls. This was the first overnight away from home for our two adorable energetic fur babies (3 years old) and it was a great success. We were comfortable knowing they were in good hands and were so grateful for the care and attention she and her husband Joe gave them. They took them on long walks (and shared pics so we knew they were well taken care of). We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving reliable sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Paula was great! She was communicative and wonderful with our pup. It was a very hot weekend and our pup does not do well in the heat and Paula was super accommodating and aware of her needs. She sent great pictures and updates. Felt very comfortable with her and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“Bailey had a great time with Lindsay. It was so comforting to know that she was happy and comfortable in Lindsay's home thanks to a meet and greet. All Bailey's likes and quirks were catered to. Regular photos and updates gave us peace of mind on our 2 week trip. Will definitely be back fort the next trip!”
“Rylee was so wonderful with our sweet boy! Her energy and positivity were evident from the minute we met and we knew our Seneca would be in great hands! Rylee sent us daily photos of Seneca on hikes and long walks, playing in the yard, and sleeping soundly from all his wonderful activity! I will certainly call Rylee again and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Can’t say enough great things about Jess and her family, and the care they provided for our pup! Kona spent a little over a week with Jess and we are so happy with the care she received. We were sent frequent updates, and never worried about Kona. She had a ton of fun, and was tired from all the fun she had when we picked her up. We will definitely be booking with Jess again for our travel boarding needs!”
“Our dogs had a wonderful time while they were safely being cared for by Gus. It’s nice to have found a “doggie resort” for them to enjoy when we’re away so we can leave them without worrying!”
“Sarah and her family went above and beyond durin our senior dog’s recent stay. From daily walks and snuggles to administering medication and a special diet, Sarah made us feel comfortable leaving our pup. We so appreciated the daily videos and pictures and the opportunity to meet with Sarah beforehand. And it was no problem when she had to refill one of our dogs medications. Truly heroic! Thank you, thank you, for everything! Buddy loved his stay with you!”
“Connie was great - communicative, accommodating and so sweet. Honey had a great time with her and her two pups. She loved the huge fenced in yard and we loved getting pictures and updates during her stay.”

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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Walpole is $48 per night as of November 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 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 4,263 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Walpole. 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 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, 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 Walpole.
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 Walpole. 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 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 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.
