“Our pup had the best time with Lyn! She kept us updated with fun pictures and was very flexible when we had a travel delay—we’d definitely bring Marty back the next time we’re out of town.”

“Jen and Robert are just amazing dog lovers who went above and beyond to make our precious fuzzy family member comfortable and happy! They are super great with providing photos and updates daily! This definitely made us felt better about leaving her behind when we were away. They were super loving and caring for our dog and shared their advice on foods, plus great tips on caring for dogs. We definitely will trust them to take care of our cutie again!”
“Fancy had a great time with Yulia & her kids! He came back happy, happy, and tired!! His coat was also very soft and fluffy, so he definitely got some good brush outs! Yulia and her kids are very sweet and I will definitely trust them to watch fancy for me again!”
“Cindy was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bear! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which we really appreciated. Throughout his stay, she sent daily updates with photos and videos so we always knew how he was doing, and she responded quickly to all of my messages. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and spent lots of time giving him attention and snuggles. Bear was very well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will definitely be reaching out to Cindy again in the future and would highly recommend both her and her brother to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Watertown
Andrea is fantastic! I was thrilled to book Andrea’s services, as she is the ultimate professional. We needed 5 nights of overnight coverage for our 3-year-old labradoodle puppy. Andrea very kindly answered all my questions about how she would care for Sammy. She took excellent care of him for 5 days and nights. Throughout Sammy’s stay, Andrea sent many pictures of a very happy puppy. Sammy typically has a lot of eye secretions, and Andrea followed all of our instructions and did an excellent job of keeping his eyes clean and healthy. Sammy came home happy, healthy, and tired from playing with the other dogs. We feel so lucky to have found Andrea and highly recommend her dog sitting and boarding services!
Kathryn is amazing! Her proactive and reliable communication made us feel at ease while away. This was the first time our dog has stayed with someone outside of our family, and Kathryn made both our dog and us feel safe and well-taken care of. We are so grateful for the care and attention she showed our pup.
Highly recommend! Eddy took amazing care of my dog Buttercup when I went away for the weekend. This was Buttercup’s first time at boarding and she had the best time. The whole process was positive from start to finish. Eddy responded to my request quickly, scheduled a meet and greet with my dog that was convenient and timely, and then he maintained excellent communication leading up to the planned weekend. Eddy and team sent me awesome photos and updates throughout Buttercup’s stay, which I loved. The pick up and drop off coordination was also fantastic, so I didn’t have to worry about logistics. Buttercup will definitely be back with Eddy for her next boarding stay.
This was our first time using Rover, and Holly made us feel completely at ease from the start. Mochi takes a while to warm up to new people and situations, and Holly was so experienced and patient with her that we never had to worry. She was also a great communicator and sent us regular updates and photos while we were away. Mochi was in wonderful hands! We would absolutely recommend Holly and will definitely use her again.
Danielle took exceptionally good care of our Cavapoo Chaco while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us regular updates with photos and it was clear that our dog was in good hands. Danielle is easy to communicate with, is an extremely competent and dedicated pet sitter, and will certainly be our choice going forward for caring for our dog. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for excellent care for their furry friend!
Mary was absolutely wonderful with my dog! He stayed with her for a week, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring hands. She took great care of him and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful to Mary and would definitely trust her with my dog again. Highly recommend!
Kim is one of the kindest and sweetest people ever. She took excellent care of my pups, communicated well, and sent photos throughout the day. She has earned my trust, and I plan to use her as my dogs’ primary dog sitter. Thank you for taking care of Lucky and Petunia; they had such a great time and will miss you and your family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Watertown on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,092 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Watertown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Watertown sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Watertown landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Watertown 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 Watertown.
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.
You and your Watertown 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.
