“I went through 4 pet sitters, and Sue is the best pet sitter out of those 4, she send pics to us every day while we on vacation so we don’t feel like missing our pet at the same time make us worryless, we definitely come back to her when we are on vacation again”
“Kendra was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in I knew Scout would be well cared for and would also have a fun furry companion to play with. Kendra is very attentive to details, warm, welcoming to cuddle a sometimes shy dog and my pup enjoyed lots of exercise and play. Thank you Kendra!”
“Nancy was great! Our dog can be slow to warm to strangers, but quickly got on with Nancy. We got pictures and videos that really helped the family while we were separated from our guy. We’ll definitely reach out again, couldn’t ask for more.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 6 years and dog walking for 8 years, caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, and genuinely caring looking after your animals. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and making pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and adapting to each animal’s unique needs and personality to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I am currently enrolled in college, but have the summer free. I’ll have open availability and be free every day for walks, drop-ins, overnight care, or extended stays. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care as needed. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment by following each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, prioritize safety at all times, and keep owners updated with photos and communication while they’re away.
“Exceptional dog sitting! I couldn't be happier with the dog care received from Mariann! Mariann was friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. Mariann provided photos of Milo during his stay which gave me peace of mind knowing Milo was in great hands. I highly recommend Mariann! Thank you, Mariann, for taking such wonderful care of Milo!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I owned an Old English Sheepdog for 15 years and also helped care for my grandparents’ Bichon Frise. In addition, I’ve walked neighbors’ dogs and provided pet sitting, including overnight stays. I’m experienced with feeding, bathing, walking, playing, and making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I get out of work around 3:00 p.m., which gives me plenty of time for dog walks in the afternoons and evenings. I also have availability on weekends. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I love spending time with animals and would be happy to give your pet the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine and care instructions, provide plenty of exercise, attention, and affection, and always treat your home with respect. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
“It was so nice to be able to go on vacation without worrying about Tootsie for the first time! I mean not a single worry! Makes for a much better vacation! Leslie was so nice and patient! It took Tootsie a day to settle in and once she was I know tootsie was very comfortable. She sent daily pictures and updates which gave me further assurance. You just don’t get that from a boarding place even though they promise that. Tootsie is a rather “needy” dog but like a 2nd child. I could tell she was well taken care of. I would not hesitate to call Leslie again and if you are reading this review, rest assured your dog will be in great hands! Thanks Leslie!!”
“Radhika is obviously a lovely person and it was nice to meet her. She sent pictures and let his know our dog was settling in and doing well. She responded quickly and was flexible and kind when we had issues with delays.”
About: As the former Director of Operations for a no kill animal rescue in Texas, I have a huge fondness for furry creatures. After spending years caring for homeless pets in the Dallas and Worcester area as well as working as a veterinary technician and in an emergency room for animals, I'm looking to bring my skill set to your pet's home. I have experience handling shy and fearful pets, and am able to handle all medications and temperaments/quirks your pet may have. Even better, I'm ready to meet your fur baby today! My shelter residents were family while they stayed in my care, and your pet will be treated the same. While I'm first and foremost a feline lover, my time in rescue really engendered a love of dogs for me as well. I'm partial to large breeds, but have yet to find a face I can't love! Anxious pets are my specialty, and I have the patience needed to form new friendships with all of my fur friends. There's always time for furry friends, and luckily, my favorite activity is making sure your pets have everything they need to feel comfortable when their best friend has to be away. An animal's safety is my priority. Dogs without a fenced in yard will only be taken out on leash, and cats will not be allowed outdoors.
“Elaine was amazing! Our poor dog, Maddie, cannot do a kennel stay- she's too anxious for that. We left her with Elaine for about a week and received multiple updates every day! I had absolutely no worries about Maddie. When we returned she was her usual self (unlike other times we have gone away and left her elsewhere she tended to cling to me for DAYS after being away from me). Maddie went right back into her usual routine. I will definitely call Elaine again when we need dog care. She is GREAT, I highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for taking Evie on last minute!! She seems like she had a great time and I really loved the set up you had for the dogs. She’s nice and tired now! We’ll definitely contact you guys again in the future when we need someone to watch her :)”
“Jen was amazing. Bella seems to have had a great time on her week long stay. Jen sent pictures and kept us updated throughout the stay and was accommodating when we couldn’t pick up when initially planned due to unforeseen circumstances. I’ll definitely be booking with Jen and her family in the future”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“Our dog Luna had a great time during her stay with Krista and Henry! It was clear that she was well cared for and happy. It was so great to have that peace of mind while we were traveling!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous to leave Titan with someone new. But Peter put my mind at ease right away. He took such great care of Titan, sending me daily pictures and videos with updates that made me smile. It turns out I was nervous for nothing — Titan was happy, comfortable, and clearly enjoyed his time with Peter. I’m so grateful for the care and attention he gave, and I would absolutely book with him again!”
“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”

Alexis took such wonderful care of our Goldendoodle, Walden, and treated him like one of her own. Walden and Brewer became fast friends. It was clear he was happy and well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust Alexis with Walden again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pup.

Lauren was a lifesaver for taking our last-minute booking. She took great care of Champ and sent regular photo updates. A huge thanks to Gavin for helping with the heavy crate, too, he moved it to and from the car on his own without us even asking. Champ came home happy, well-fed, and on his regular routine. Highly recommend them if you need a reliable team! We will definitely be booking with her again.
Andrea and Joaquin took such good care of my baby, they made him feel so comfortable and safe, and really helped rest my nerves about boarding my cat for the first time by sending lots of pictures and updates. They also accepted my request very last minute which I really appreciated! I will definitely be having my baby stay with them again in the future
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my fur baby than Megan and her family. They included Marlo like she was their own and gave her so much love and the best photo updates! In the past when Marlo has come home from a sitter she’s been a bit on edge or overly exhausted, but when she got home it was as if she was just gone visiting a friend. We highly recommend Megan!
Reichel was absolutely amazing! She was absolutely amazing with Frank! From the start, they were communicative, punctual, and so kind. I really appreciated the photo updates and detailed check-ins—it gave me total peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and cared for. Frank came back relaxed and clearly well-loved and we’ll definitely be booking again!
Our pup, Tiana, has stayed here on a few occasions now. We trust Jeremiah and his family with her when we go away. This time, Tiana's eye didn't look right and Jeremiah reached out to let us know. We ended up picking her up a day early to take her to the vet. They took good care of her.
We love James! He was great to work with, but most importantly, our dog Bella had a great time. Bella is getting older, and we've been worried that she's been getting very stressed when we leave her at a kennel. We decided to try something different for this trip and tried Rover, where we found James. He kept us updated daily and kept us in touch. Bella and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Worcester on Rover is $66.6 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 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 1,987 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Worcester. About 91% of Worcester 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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
