“Greta is an amazing dog sitter! She provided lots of updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked incredibly happy and well cared for throughout the stay. She even gave my dog a bath, which was such a thoughtful offer. Juniper is also absolutely adorable, and it was wonderful that my dog had such a sweet companion to play with. I would highly recommend Greta to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Kaelyn was great. She communicated through out about how Melanie was doing & really loved Melanie like she was one of her own pups. Will definitely use Kaelyn’s services again. Thank you for everything!”
“Great as usual! Left Penny for over a week, which is a long trip for her, but knew she was in great hands. Joe was responsive and flexible as always. Thanks!”
“We feel so much at ease when we leave our dog with Oscar and Gaelle. They always send us cutest video updates. We tried 3 other sitters on Rover when Oscar was not available , each time our dog had diarrhea after we picked her up (either stress related or elsa ate something she shouldn’t eat) . Never had a problem when Elsa stayed with Oscar. Looked always happy and healthy.”
“Kira and her husband were super nice and thoughtful with our dogs. They took very good care of them and made sure they had fun. Kira sent me pictures during the time my dogs were with her. I really appreciate her help and look forward to leaving my dogs with her next time I need to leave town.”
“Allie is the best of the best. Our sweet Sandy ate a small starfish ornament the day before we dropped her off. I was scared to leave her but couldn’t have left her in better hands. Allie sent me photos and detailed updates, always promptly, multiple times a day. Thank you, Allie, for always taking such good care of our girl!”
“Jason is the absolute best!!! He and his partner took such great care of our pups and were communicating constantly. They treated our kids like their own and took them for walks and runs all the time. They sent many pictures every day and kept us updated on how they were doing. Would 100% recommend!!”
“Daniel and his dog Annie were a wonderful match for our dog, Tegan. He even arranged a meet-up beforehand so the dogs could get to know each other, which gave us peace of mind. During Tegan’s stay, Daniel sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Tegan usually takes a day or two to settle in and start eating when she’s in a new environment, but with Daniel and Annie she felt right at home from the start. We’ll definitely ask Daniel to watch Tegan again in the future!”
“Eric was great! I was taking care of my nephew's dog and had to find him a place to board at the last minute due to a death in the family. My travel plans kept changing and Eric kindly accomodated the situation. He also sent daily photos which helps to assure your dog is being well cared for. I highly recommend Eric.”
“Thank you so much again . Fantastic host . My little friend was super happy in his new home for 5 days . I wi definitely used them again and recommended everyone🐶”
“Absolutely AMAZING dog sitter! My original plans for my dog fell through at the last minute and I reached out to 3 other people and TIANYUE was on the last page for whatever reason but I'm glad I stuck it out! Her communication, her updates, and even help with rebooking, all 5 stars! Sad i don't live in Boston anymore because I would easily hand over my baby girl to her!”
“Mokeisha was very responsive, she updates my dog's picture everyday with me and is very attentive. She def loves my puppy.. she is super caring and I would like to go back if I ever need to board my dog again!”
“Erin took great care of my dog Nala! I left Nala in her care for nearly 3 weeks and she sent me several captioned pictures every day. It was clear that she put a lot of effort into making Nala feel comfortable and ensuring she had lots of fun during her stay. I would 100% recommend and book again!”
“Gomer had a great time staying with Holly and having River as a play/house mate! Gomer was exhausted when we got home and I could tell he had fun staying for one night at Holly's. I so appreciated how Holly kept me updated on Gomer, was extremely responsive and overall, a pleasure to meet. I definitely plan to call Holly again for Gomercare!”
“Shuhua is very caring and takes good care of my dog. She is responsive and considerate- she always sent the photos of my dog to keep me updated. I recommend her.”
“Kathy is such a wonderfully warm person and even though my dog is used to his space and alone time, I had no reservations about leaving him with her and the other pets in her home. She sent photos so I could stay up to date, and when I was sick on returning from my trip, she was so helpful in getting my dog back home. 100% recommend :D”
“Barbara’s care of Ziggy was top quality, thoughtful, professional and comforting for us because we frequently got cute update pics of our dog, and would often set up play dates with other dogs. She treated our Ziggy with much love and TLC!”

Sunil took wonderful care of our dog, Brownie, while we were away\. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and treated Brownie like one of her own\. She made sure Brownie got plenty of walks and even cooked chicken for her dinner, which was such a thoughtful touch\. Throughout our time away, Sunil kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind knowing Brownie was happy and well cared for\. I truly appreciated her communication, compassion, and dedication\. I would highly recommend Sunil to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter\. We will definitely use her again\!
Dana was incredible. We had a last‑minute trip come up, and he didn’t hesitate to take in Zeus, our 11‑year‑old boy, with so much care and kindness. He sent daily updates and photos, and it was obvious in every single one that Zeus felt comfortable, happy, and completely at ease. Zeus is older and can be particular, but Dana handled everything beautifully. When we picked Zeus up, he was relaxed, content, and honestly a little exhausted from all the fun he had. That told us everything we needed to know about the level of attention and affection he received. We’re so grateful for Dana’s flexibility, communication, and genuine love for animals. We’ll absolutely book with him again.
Caroline, her dog Butterscotch, and their family took great care of my dog Bao Bao. He’s a shy, slightly nervous fellow and it was his first time boarding without his late big sister, but he had a lovely time. Caroline sent photos and updates daily. I’m really glad Bao got to stay with a nice family with a dog and a yard instead of some mass boarding setup. We will definitely check with Caroline before any other sitters in the future!
Kayla is an amazing sitter! I have struggled for YEARS to find a dog sitter for my anxious dog, Onyx. He is very flighty and takes a long time to warm up to people and trust them. For those reasons, every sitter and trainer we have tried to use since getting him as a rescue pup has not worked out. He would fail meet and greets and temperament tests and the only time we have been able to take vacations has been to find family or friends that he is comfortable to house sit. Onyx was comfortable with Kayla as soon as we had the initial meet and greet. She has a wonderful setup that is dog focused, from fresh water that is always available to the nice quiet backyard where the dogs can just relax. Onyx felt comfortable walking right into Kayla's home and did really well meeting Kayla's dogs. They were very well trained and friendly and helped my Onyx settle in quickly. Kayla maintained excellent communication from the start of our interactions and was very responsive to any questions or concerns that I brought up. She sent us updates and pictures of Onyx daily so there was never a point during our vacation when I was worried about my dog or wondering if he was getting enough attention or activity. Walking Onyx can be a very difficult challenge and I let Kayla know that she didn't have to try if he was showing a lot of anxiety but she went above and beyond to make sure Onyx was included on any walks with the other dogs and he did amazingly! I only have positive things to say about Kayla and her services as a dog sitter. I feel so comfortable having Onyx stay with her that I will definitely be booking again for any future vacations and maybe even doggy daycare because he had so much fun. For the first time in years, I feel a relief from the stress I would get from even thinking about vacation and it is all thanks to Kayla and her experience and skills as a dog sitter! Thank you Kayla!!
Katya was great! We had very specific requests and needs for our pup and were worried about leaving him. She was very detailed and made sure to ask many questions so she could understand what was required. She made us feel at ease and promised to take good care of him. She is supper friendly and clearly loves dogs. We got a few pictures and updates. As parents it’s never enough but if we had communicated she would have been happy to send more I am sure. He was healthy and very happy when we picked him up so a great stay. We would book again.
Highly recommend Megan! She made the whole process so seamless: scheduling and coordinating with her was an absolute breeze. She was super communicative the entire time and kept my mind at ease with tons of cute picture updates. Will definitely book with her again!!!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in West Roxbury on Rover is $55.5 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,333 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in West Roxbury. About 90% of West Roxbury 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.

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.
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.
