“It was Murphy’s second time ever staying away from home, and his first Rover experience so we were nervous about how he would do. Sean was so responsive through the entire process, kind, understanding and flexible with us. He shared updates so we were assured Murphy was doing well, and Murphy had a great time. He seemed comfortable going in, and almost like he was sad his vacation had ended at pickup. He was well exercised and ready for a nap after vacation, just like we were!”
“Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!”
“Toby has stayed with Kira's family a few times now and always has a great time! They are a very caring family and really love the dogs in their care. They are responsive and helpful and very detailed with questions about Toby's care.”
“Aly was extremely helpful when watching my cat. Made sure to keep me updated, even asked how often I’d want updates. Great environment for a dog or cat, accommodated all of my requests and I could tell my cat was happy and entertained there”
“This was our second time working with Jess, and Duke was happy as can be. We loved the photos of Duke interacting with the other dogs and having a great time. Won't hesitate to have Jess watch Duke again.”
“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience! They took excellent care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos—they kept us informed and reassured that our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear our dog received lots of attention and affection throughout the stay. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Alex is an exceptional caretaker and we are so relieved we found him! We left for our first trip away from our superstar Rufus, and Alex couldn’t have been more understanding and thoughtful with the communication of photos, videos, and calls when we were missing our pup. Alex was also flexible when our flight was delayed and we appreciated that greatly. Thank you again Alex, we look forward to Ru having a place to stay with you in the future!”
“Julie was an incredible host for our 9 month old puppy, Maizy! She was thoughtful and attentive, taking the time to understand Maizy's routine and personality. Maizy had a blast playing with her dog and came home happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Highly recommend Julie!”
“Dana is Awesome! I have a purebred German Shepherd and within 24 hours my boy was eating out of his hand. Literally. My German Shepherd is very hesitant towards human men, but not when it comes to Dana. He really knows his stuff. I appreciate that he sends a quick pic or video of their little outings. My big boy always comes back home happy and loved.”
“Debbie was fantastic with Paloma. She sent pictures every day and worked to win over my nervous pup. Paloma clearly enjoyed being with her dogs, and I am so happy to have found someone who Paloma is comfortable with!!”
“We are repeat customers for Jessie. We are so lucky to have found her. She always treats our dogs with such kindness and care. Our dogs often time to feel comfortable with new people but they immediately acclimated to Jessie and her space. They are always excited to go there which is a rarity for us. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“Another weekend boarding experience with Casey that we could not be happier about! Our dogs now RUN UP the stairs to Casey's place in excitement and we felt so at ease leaving them. We had very spotty service during the weekend at where we were, but we knew that our dogs were being cared for the best they could be (spoiled, really!) and gave us zero worries. Thank you, thank you, Casey.”
“Eric was quick to respond and agreed to watch Wally at the last minute, which was super helpful. He was attentive to Wally's needs and sent photos throughout the day, keeping us updated on his stay. Eric has a super cute dog who seemed easygoing even when Wally got a bit exciteable at pick-up/drop-off. We would absolutely have Eric watch Wally again. Thank you!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”
“Minglu & Yilun were wonderful boarders to my energetic and clingy 3 year old Boxer. My dog Brindle began panting excessively very soon after I left her and it continued throughout the day. The day it happened, Minglu and Yilun notified me right away. I called the vet, and they brought Brindle in and stayed with her until she was diagnosed with an anxiety attack. They kept me well-informed throughout, sending daily photos and videos. They reassured me she was doing well and were kind enough to give her a new ball—which she absolutely loves. Brindle came home happy!”
“Paula was wonderful about my very high energy pup Olive. It was great getting photos of Olive swimming, running around with other dogs, and really living it up while staying with Paula. We can tell she LOVED her stay and felt very comfortable there. Thanks, Paula! Hope Olive can come stay again one day.”
“I can't even count the number of times we left Marvel with Jing! Jing truly loves our dog and treats her as her own. It is such a comfort to have Jing as our go-to dog sitter - we wholeheartedly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Wendy and her family took great care of my young dog, Dorothy. This was the first time I used Rover and was so relieved to find Wendy. I usually leave my dog with a family member, but this was a family vacation and no pets allowed. Wendy sent photos and updates which helped ease any worries. I highly recommend Wendy for great pet sitter!!!!
Julie was fantastic. After my family met with her we knew instantly she was the one for us. We used her overnight for our son’s wedding and could not have been happier. We had never had our Molly stay with anyone other than a family member so this was a big deal for us, plus the first time we used Rover. Julie put me at ease and shared pictures of her and Molly. Cannot go wrong with Julie. Highly recommended!!
Debbie took great care of our dog, Sam recently. She has such a sweet and calm nature that put Sam at ease and she shared pics of Sam so we could see how he was doing. I was really impressed that she even played one of Sam’s favorite games with him, which I know made Sam happy as it did us as well.
Lauren was awesome! She made sure Archie felt comfortable the second he arrived and allowed him time to adjust to his new environment. Her and her family walked Archie, provided lots of attention to him, and he had the added bonus of playing with their dog Ollie. You can tell they really cared for him. Highly recommend.
My dog Bhalu was very happy living with Giovanni his dog -Neron as well his family. In fact he learned a lot from Neron. They played at their backyard and became friends. Giovanni poured out tremendous love on Bhalu. I would recommend anyone who wants boarding for their dog to go to Giovanni.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Westwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Westwood on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,431 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Westwood. 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.
91% of Westwood 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 Westwood 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 Westwood 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 Westwood.
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 Westwood 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.
