“Wendy and her family treated Lexi like a queen! She was well loved and cared for with frequent photos to let us see that Lexi was doing well. I do appreciate that Lexi was in such capable and kind hands. Thank you!”
“I had a family emergency and had to spend long hours in the hospital and luckily Debbie was available very last minute. She provided great care for Tiggy! She updated me multiple times daily with photos which helped and was appreciated. She was easy to communicate with, friendly and her dogs are adorable and got along well with mine. I’ve already asked about future dates and will definitely use her again. She also invited me into her home so I could see where Tiggy would be spending her time and that was great for my peace of mind.”
“Alan was so helpful in accommodating our last minute drop-off and pick-up schedule changes. We were provided updates with accompanying pictures of Murphy throughout our entire trip and felt he was in good hands. We would love to have Murphy be a repeat client. Thank you for all your help and for taking such good care of our guy.”
“We have used many sitters for our dog, and Casey was at the top! She took excellent care of our boy while on vacation. Thank you Casey! We definitely recommend her and will dial her in the future.”
About: I am a mom of two and preschool teacher during the school year who also has one 10 year old Westie. We would take care of your dog as if he/she were our own! My husband is retired and would also assist in taking care of the dog. My husband John is retired and is usually home with our 10 yr old westie Bobby. I am in between jobs and home a good amount of the time. We have had two westies for the past 20 years, so we have a lot of dog experience. We have pet sat many dogs and they always enjoy staying here in our home. We have a fenced in area for the dogs with astroturf grass so they can't dig under the fence. The house is a ranch and the dogs would have access to the kitchen, dining room,and living room. My husband would stay with the dogs at nite in the living room so they won't feel alone.we walk twice a day with our dog bobby and we have a great quiet neighborhood to walk in.
“Stephen & Cecilia were wonderful to my little guy for an overnight stay at their house. They gave me lots of pics and updates. They were sweet and patient with Frank who can be a little shy!”
“Julie was great with Penny! She provided lots of pictures and videos, and was very communicative. We would happily contact her again next time we need someone to watch Penny.”
“Salem is wiped out! Will be using Paula again for sure. She sent lots of videos and pictures of my pup having fun at the park. Nothing like coming home after a weekend away to a pooped dog. She slept all day yesterday while I settled back in. Thanks Paula!”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“Alyson is truly amazing! She gave us updates regularly and I felt so happy knowing our dog was in a loving place! Our dog was the happiest she’s ever been after picking her up from a sitter, so I know she was really well cared for! Will definitely plan to use Alyson again for sitting!”
“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”
“Jess is amazing. She is so patient and kind with our overly energetic husky puppy. She is flexible and able to work with you on your schedule. Highly recommend. Will use her services again!”
“This was our first time boarding our 7 year old Shiba Inu and Yuanyuan took great care of him! She sent us updates, pictures, and videos of him enjoying meeting new friends, and trying new snacks. We're glad we found a reliable dog sitter in our area that our dog likes!”
“Jhonnari and Mike were amazing with our pup! It was the first time we were leaving him so we were worried but they were so kind and communicative with us, informing us of how he has doing and sending us photos and videos, as we could see he was having an amazing time. I would highly recommend them and would definitely leave him with them again!”
“Tammy was great. Very responsive, kept me updated on how Percy was doing, and it seemed like Percy was having a good time! She was even nice enough to turn off the world cup(!) because the noise was scaring him. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Zoe was fabulous. I was in a jam last minute to find a sitter and she responded right away and was able to watch my dog for 4 days while I was away on vacation. I was nervous that my dog would not respond well to her larger dog, but her dog was so gentle with mine, they were able to be together in the yard and in the house, no problems.”
“Michael and Ali are simply amazing, I am so grateful to have found them. Whenever we have to leave our pup, knowing he'll have a blast with them, makes it easier. Heck, sometimes he even has more fun than we do! I hope you'll stay around forever. ☺️”

Our mixed breed terrier Lexi stayed with Julie and we couldn't be any happier with the care and attention she got. Julie sent pics and video updates while she was there which put my mind at ease since it was her first time staying with her. I would definitely let Lexi stay with Julie again.
Audrey did a great job with Louie. We had to travel out of state and Louie got sick during his stay. She offered to take him to the vet/ER and had to closely monitor him. It was a super stressful thing to be so far away and not be able to come back to get him, thank you Audrey for taking good care of Louie and keeping me updated on his condition.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Westwood 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 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 4,415 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.
