“This is the second time Jennifer has watched our pup Tashi. She was also able to watch his buddy Murphy, a 13 year old Wheaten Terrier. Murphy is an older pup and needed additional care with more frequent potty outings, 3 different daily hand fed medication, and extra belly rubs! Jennifer did it all and more. She is great with the pups and reached out frequently with questions to ensure things were done correctly. She sends photos and updates through the day. It is so nice and relaxing to know your pup will be well taken care of when you have to be away from them.”
“Guillermo was absolutely amazing with our dog, Lola. He took such great care of her and kept us constantly updated with messages and photos, which really put us at ease while we were away. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Guillermo made the whole experience completely stress free. We could tell Lola was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. We’re so grateful for his attentiveness and kindness, and we would 100% trust him with Lola again. Highly recommend!”
“Paul has watched our pups many times over the past few months. He always keeps us in the loop about their days and we love receiving picture updates! They always seems happy (and tired!) when they come back home : )”
“Yick was communicative, caring, and so responsible with our hollie. They went out of their way to handle her pick up and drop offs and made the whole travel plan work out completely without any stress.”
“Ashley and her family took fantastic care of my baby boy, Jackson. I received regular updates and photos, and he always looked so calm and content. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ashley for dog care and hope Jackson can see her and her family again in the future!”
“Alanis and her husband took great care of Leo. He really had a great time with them! Alanis was very communicative and sent me lots of pictures. I highly recommend Alanis for all your pet sitting needs!”
“Ann and her husband took incredible care of our dog. She sent updates and photos regularly while we were away. She was also very accommodating with the drop off and pick up schedule, and was able to accommodate a last minute schedule change. It’s clear that Ann and her husband are dog lovers and go and beyond in their care. We will definitely use them again!”
About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience working with anxious pets, ensuring they feel safe and at ease. I use positive reinforcement techniques and tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be in loving, attentive hands! I have completed the Red Cross Pet First Aid course in order to be prepared for any events that may occur. I work a flexible, remote job so I am available to tend to your babies as needed! My daily schedule starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m., but I'm flexible to your needs! I have a large, private porch with plenty of potty spots for your baby, as well as a park within a 5 minute walk if that is what your pet needs. My dog, Juniper, will be a great companion for yours!
“Coco had a great time with Su and enjoyed her vacation at his house. Su kept us updated daily and honestly I don’t think Coco wants to come home with us at the end of the week. Su is totally trust worthy and easy to work with. I won’t be looking for any other sitter to leave my daughter with but him! Thank you for being so loving and caring to Coco!”
“This is our second time leaving our dog with Robert and his family. Once again we could not have asked for better sitters for our Snowy. So nice and responsive, send daily updates, love our dog. What more could you ask for?”
“Kevin took terrific care of Snow during a business trip. He was super-responsive and sensitive to her needs. Snow loved the company of his puppy Skye, whose name just happens to coincide with that of her deceased sister (who was a corgi not a husky)!”
“Christina was amazing! I booked last minute and she was eager to take care of Beru for the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates. Beru has some quirks and Christina was more than capable and happy to accommodate Beru’s personality. Would 100% book with her again!”
“Another great 4-day visit over Thanksgiving! It’s amazing to know my dog is safe and happy with this loving family. Of course Ceila was happy to see us, but with paws on the window, she was wondering why her surrogate Dad wasn’t joining us in the car.”
“Kaisi was AMAZING! So communicative and she took extraordinary care of our high-energy dog. She brought him to parks nearly every day! And she took so many lovely pictures of our pup. Can’t wait for Kaisi to take care of our dog again soon.”
“I knew Budi would enjoy staying with Emily & Rob right off the bat (during our "meet & greet"). Sure, Budi was so sad when I left, but this couple soon put Budi at ease with the way they treated her. She may not have barked at all, in fact they didn't hear her bark until I showed up to get her, but they kept her comfortable, treated her very well & appropriately & I'm sure even talked to her to keep her going. It's for sure I'll book with them again!!! Bonnie & Budi”
“Todd was awesome! Very communicative and attentive, and clearly seemed to provide a great environment for Beau to stay. He came home clearly taken care of, calm, and happy.”
“Whitney was so understanding and flexible when a large snowstorm impacted travel extending my pet’s stay. Her wonderful care for my pup means so much and let me concentrate on getting home safely. Thank you!”
“Gina was great! Winston seemed to love her and she was super helpful taking him last second! Would definitely consider using again and would recommend to others!”
“Hyesoo took such great care of our small dog, Penny. Lots of updates and pictures were provided. Penny enjoyed her time in her home. Would definitely recommend Hyesoo for dog boarding.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Watertown
Eddy and team made this one of the best boarding experiences we've ever had. From the very first meet, it was obvious he genuinely loves what he does. He took the time to properly get to know Xena, our Doberman, understanding her personality and needs. Agreeing to a trial night first meant so much to us, it showed he wanted Xena to be comfortable, not just booked in. He picked her up and dropped her off himself, and throughout the day we were spoiled with photos and updates that had us smiling every time our phones buzzed. You could just tell Xena was happy and having the time of her life. Then our flight got delayed, and without missing a beat, Eddy offered to keep her an extra night, no fuss, no stress, just genuine care. That kind of flexibility and warmth is rare. We left feeling so grateful to have found him. Eddy isn't just a sitter, he's someone who treats your dog like family. We'll be booking with him every time, and we can't recommend him enough!
Adrienne is a wonderful dog sitter!! My dog Petey stayed with Adrienne for boarding and he was well taken care of and given lots of love! Adrienne is kind, caring, professional, and communicative! She shared updates and pictures all throughout his stay. I highly recommend Adrienne for pet care!
Kathy was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was very accommodating timing wise for a meet and greet with her pup. Throughout my dog’s stay with her, she sent lots of photos and updates. My dog seemed so happy to be there and seemed like she had an awesome time. I plan on using Kathy again in the future!! Thank you Kathy!
Kurt was amazing with Piggy! He asked great questions prior to the visit to ensure he knew how to best care for Pigglet. I got daily updates with photos - he took great care when Pig got stung by a wasp when out playing. I had no stress while I was away knowing she was in good hands!
Marissa took great care of Minnie over the 4th of July Holiday weekend. It was record hot, she made sure to special care in walking her at non stress times. Minnie was a bit nervous and a little unhappy at the start, but Marissa’s patience made her feel right at home. Thank you!
Natasha and Josh were great with Dino! They were very thorough when we met them during our meet-and-greet and immediately put us at ease. They sent lots of updates and even did extra indoor enrichment activities with Dino during a crazy heatwave. He had his own vacation while we were away!!
Holly took great care of my dog Koda! She was very sweet, understanding, and patient. I could tell she has experience catering the different dogs needs and personalities, and has the ability to accommodate them and make them comfortable. Koda is a little anxious, and I think she did great with him and made us both very comfortable! She was also very flexible when I realized I was arriving from my trip a little later than expected. Overall great experience, thank you Holly!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Watertown on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,304 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Watertown. About 91% of Watertown 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 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.
