“Emily took such good care of our Daisy! We could tell right away, at our meet and greet, how much she loves animals. This was our first time using a Rover sitter, so we were a little unsure of how it would go. Emily put us at ease, by sending us daily updates and photos. She seemed to fit right in to the family routine. We could enjoy our trip, knowing that Daisy was happy, and well cared for! We'll definitely be scheduling with Emily again!”
“Wonderful experience for us and our dog. We worked with Brittany for our 2.5 year old Cockapoo on a recent 6 day vacation we had in July 2021. She has other dogs at home so our dog had companions. Our oldest daughter adores our dog beyond words and Brittany was great about texting updates on Bella's stay and sending photos the whole week so we could see how she was. She definitely got lots of love and attention and came home happy. Her communication with us was great and we would definitely use her again.”
“Our dogs were well taken care of. I loved the pictures that were sent and it showed them enjoying their stay. Tracy took good care to treat the dogs for who they were and their different life styles. Our oldest needed her spot to sleep and they accommodated her. Our youngest got his playtime. He came home exhausted and happy. Will use again!”
“Carine, Eric, and family were AMAZING with my two dogs, I got so many updates and pictures and know my girls were getting the best care while I was away. I highly recommend them for pet care!”
“Magnolia had the best 10-day vacation with Kj and Bailey! This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better match. The care, communication, and love exceeded our expectations. Seeing Mag draped across Kj's lap while she worked on her computer was absolutely priceless. My family loved the frequent updates and photos of their walks, playtime with her new buddy Bailey, and even bath time. I was honestly worried she wouldn't want to come home! What incredible peace of mind during our trip to Spain. When I pulled up to the house after our trip, seeing Magnolia so happy, content, and relaxed on the porch was the perfect welcome home. The transition back to our routine has been seamless—such a noticeable difference from our past kennel experiences. She's been remarkably calm and well-behaved. Kj provided exactly the kind of loving, home-based care we were hoping to find. Highly recommend!”
“We had the most positive experience leaving our dog for a week in the care of Kay and her family. Their home provided Tilly with all the stimulation, exercise, attention and, above all, love that she could need. Plenty of updates, anecdotes and photos kept us worry-free, knowing she was in such a blessed place. We hope to bring Tilly to see Kay again, when the opportunity arises.”
“Melissa and her family were great. She was easy to book with and very accommodating with all of our requests. Our dachshund, Squatch, came home happy and tired from a weekend of playing and cuddles. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Thank you so much for taking wonderful care of Theo while we were away in Mexico. Theo loves spending time with your family; he is so happy when we drop him off and pick him up! It gives us peace of mind when we are gone to know he is with a caring family. Thank you Ramanda ( + family). We appreciate all you do!!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Vanessa and Andrew’s family. I got a bunch of pictures, great communication and a happy dog when I picked her up. We will be back soon! Thank you!!”
“Amanda and her family took care of Duncan very well. She kept us updated when we were gone on our trip. Duncan had a lot of fun while he was there and was loved. We would nook her again when we will go o. another trip.”
“Mayumi provided the utmost best care for my senior dog, Moose. He stayed in her home while I spent 12 days abroad, a healthy and clean environment for any pet’s care. I received daily photos and updates of my dog and she even ran out to the store get more dog food when the food I left with her ran out. I would recommend anyone to Mayumi. 10/10 Service.”
“This is our second booking with Cassandra & Eric and their sweet daughters. Nothing is better than knowing you found a kind & nice family to care for your own pet. Mochi is always happy & tired from the care and attention that he gets with this nice family. As always Thank You Very Much and we shall see you again :)”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Watertown on Rover is $43.13 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,031 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.
96% 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 MN 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.
