“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Guillermo was awesome. He was flexible with our drop off and pick up times, sent us plenty of updates and our pup came home exhausted from his stay (the best possible outcome!). I would totally book with him again.”
“We left our 1.5-year-old Sheltie with Betsy for a long weekend and she was fantastic! Betsy responded quickly to questions, took our notes/suggestions into account during the visit, and sent us updates/pictures throughout the visit. Our dog came home happy, sleepy, and of course healthy!”
“Zelun took fantastic care of our dog for over a week during Thanksgiving! Our dog usually takes a few days to perk up and get used to her new situation, but she settled in after the first night! Zelun sent daily pictures and videos from walks and afternoon sun naps, and our dog looked sooooo happy in every picture. Would 10/10 recommend.”
“Michiko and Cliff are really great, very responsive and you can tell immediately that they love dogs and have a lot of experience taking in four legged guests. From the meet and greet we felt comfortable having Bella stay with them and Bella seemed calm and happy to explore the house. During the stay, we received daily updates and pictures and of Bella enjoying the stay, making our time away from Bella relaxing knowing she is in good hands.”
“This is not my first visit to Marilyn’s as my dog has stayed with her before. When I dropped her off this time, Maddie ran right to Marilyn’s husband, wagging her tail so hard I thought it she was going to take flight! Maddie loves staying with them. I think she sees it as visiting family! I have complete confidence in Marilyn and feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place for her to stay when needed. She is a super nice person too. I would give her 10 stars if I could!”
“Yang was absolutely amazing watching Tormund. She went above and beyond what I expected from my first time using Rover. She's going to be the first person I go to for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Liz & Rodrigo are incredible people, with an incredible family full of love to give! We were a bit nervous having someone board our newly adopted rescue Beagle, but they did an amazing job! They sent so many updates and photos while I was gone, I never once had to worry how they were doing! They were both accommodating of both our pup’s needs and I can tell our pups would love to go back whenever we need a sitter!”
“Paul was an excellent host/sitter for my 13 year old Jack Russell. He spent time with me and Benny upon drop off. I instantly sensed his expertise and comfort with her. I was at ease leaving her with him. Paul understood my concerns for my dog while in his care. I liked his confidence and handling Benny during this meet and greet on this first 24 hour stay. Paul sent a couple of texts and a pic of how things were going and I appreciated his matter of fact information sharing. I was totally pleased with this first experience of leaving Benny with an unfamiliar person and home. Couldn’t have gone better for all involved. Definitely will try for Paul for any future needs and I highly recommend Paul to others.”
“Hannah was amazing!! Olive came home so happy and clearly had a really incredible stay with Hannah. She made her feel comfortable and at home in a new place. We got so many adorable photos and videos that made it feel easier to be away.”
“Ashley and her family were lovely and warm and we felt immediately comfortable leaving our dog. He got along well with their dog and I could tell he was also very comfortable in their home. My pup is a high energy dog, not for everyone, but I really appreciated how Ashley seemed to like him for who it is and enjoyed the crazy parts of his personality! He came back to us in perfect health and happiness. So lucky to find her and we’ll definitely be bringing our dog back - if we can get on her calendar!”
“Neil and Elizabeth were great with our dog Sarge. we have never left Sarge with anyone but family, but all of the photos and videos Neil and Elizabeth sent us, put us at ease. Sarge had a cut on his foot so he required extra love and attention, which he got! We will definitely use Neil and Elizabeth again.”
“Patrick did an outstanding job taking care of my dog, Grace Warrior. Grace is a 94 lbs bundle of energy, and Patrick managed her needs perfectly. He was professional, attentive, and clearly experienced with handling large dogs. Grace came back happy and well-cared for, and I could tell she enjoyed her time with him. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and capable pet sitter. Thank you, Patrick, for your excellent care!”
“Katheryn was absolutely amazing with her care of our two greyhounds. She was very communicative and attentive to their needs. I highly recommend her and her husband and will trust her with our pets any time! Thank you!”
“We boarded our dog and cat for a week. Likun is very experienced and attentive in taking care of both cats and dogs. We received daily updates and she also replied to our messages very promptly. Her Border Collie is so sweet and gentil. Our puppy was really happy she has a mature big sister and perfect playmate! The home is well equipped to take care of multiple pets and her backyard is perfect for dogs to play in.”
“Ann took wonderful care of Daisy for over a week. From the start, she was warm, kind, and very easy to communicate with. Ann and Jim created a great environment for Daisy, and we always felt she was in good hands. Ann made sure Daisy got plenty of time outside, including long walks and lots of opportunities to explore. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure Daisy was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Ann to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”
“I'm writing this review with gratitude as my heart is full. I booked a 16-day boarding for our dog, Pumpkin, with March recently. Our first meet and greet went well and we had two-30 min walks together within a few weeks to get Pumpkin familiar with March and the trails nearby. March sent me daily pictures of Pumpkin's activities, including walks and exploring around the house and his favorite spot, the kitchen! March treated Pumpkin like his own dog, and as part of his family, the same way we treat Pumpkin. He bought a dog bed from Cosco for Pumpkin as I didn't have the right kind. March also let Pumpkin went on his bed and sofas to watch TV with him. I think Pumpkin had a fantastic vacation at March's home! I highly recommend March for anyone looking for a dog-loving person with a sense of humor and pays a lot of attention to details.”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Winchester
Liz and Neil were wonderful with our dog who is always very anxious with new people. It’s always hard to find someone you can trust who cares for your pets the way you do, and I’m so glad we found them. We really appreciated the many photo, video and text updates throughout the day - they were always responsive and kept us well informed of how Cleo was doing. They even accommodated a later pick up than anticipated, the flexibility was truly appreciated. We would recommend them without a doubt!
Andrew was the absolute best with our stubborn yet still timid bulldog Ellie! With the need to find a patient and experienced overnight dog sitter for a 3 night family trip, Andrew felt like an angel in disguise sent (via Rover) to help :) Communications were prompt, initial visit was full of helpful convo and ultimate drop off and pick up was a breeze. During vacation pics/videos thoughtfully sent by Andrew helped ease our worry (as this was our first time ever travelling without Ellie). We are so grateful to have found a caretaker match for Ellie and we look forward to working with Andrew again soon. Highly recommend ❤️
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our dog, Berlin. Patrick met with us beforehand so we could see exactly where Berlin would be staying, which immediately put us at ease. During the stay, he sent frequent updates with photos and videos — it was so clear that Berlin was having a vacation of his own! We could travel without any worry knowing he was in such good hands. I'd highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again!
Our 7 year old dog Blaze did very well with his first stay away from home with Paul M. Blaze was calm during drop off and at pick up. He was calm meeting Paul M. Paul sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. All communication before and during the booking was very timely. Paul reported keeping feeding and walking schedules as requested. Blaze was on track with everything up on return home. Thank you so much Paul M.
★★★★★ Maia was wonderful with Chester and incredibly accommodating when my plans changed unexpectedly. She communicated clearly, kept me updated, and was calm and attentive with him throughout his stay. Chester can be shy in a new environment and needs to remain securely leashed outdoors, and Maia handled all of that thoughtfully and responsibly. She was also very flexible with pickup timing, which helped me tremendously during a stressful move. I would absolutely trust her with Chester again and highly recommend her.
Mee is the best sitter!! She has watched Arlo several times over the past year and always takes great care of him, making sure that he is safe but also so well loved. We are so sad to be moving out of the area as Mee is truly the gold standard for dog sitters. Thank you so much!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Winchester on Rover is $66.6 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 4,053 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Winchester. 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 Winchester 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 Winchester 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 Winchester 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 Winchester.
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 Winchester 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.
