“Kimberly was a great host for Marvin. Marvin is not an easy dog and has many special needs. Kimberly was able to manage his needs and took great care of him. I strongly recommend her and will definitely work with her again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and love all animals. We have 2 guinea pigs in our home. And 2 dogs thatare with us sometimes. They do not need to be there when we have other animals over. We would like to make time away from family easier on pets by welcoming them into our family for a bit. Thank you!! I work from home 3 days a week and in office 2 days. I would like to do pet care part time. I am able to walk animals outside or play with them inside. I have a yard with a dog line and we live at a dead end with walking trails 3 houses away. It is a very pet friendly neighborhood with not much traffic passing my home.
“Aline was wonderful. She and her family cared for our pup while we were away and sent us pictures of him to keep us updated. She was very responsive as well, whenever we reached out to her. We ended up needing to pick him up a little early and she was flexible with the timing too. Thanks for caring for our little guy!”
“Erin was fantastic! My labradoodle stayed for a few days and got to go on walks with her doggies and play in her yard! I appreciate that she sent me pictures and that my pup had a comfortable and loving place to stay! :)”
“We had a very good experience with Sara. She was flexible with timing as we were traveling and weren’t sure of our exact arrival (and she accommodated our early AM pick up). She was mindful of getting our pup used to the other dogs and followed our care instructions. She was responsive to our check-in texts. Tala came back to us in good spirits!”
“Stacy took great care of our dog for 10 days while we were out of the country. Being far away from a much loved pet can be tough. But we had no concerns because we knew she was in good hands. When we went to pick up our pup was super happy and obviously enjoyed her time with Stacy in a very dog friendly environment.”
“Kourtney was very communicative and happy to take our dogs for the night with only a couple weeks of notice. Our dogs can be a handful, but she had no problem at all with them. I would recommend Kourtney to anyone looking for a Rover for an overnight stay, even if your dog(s) can be tricky!”
About: ⸻ Pet Care Experience 🐾 Hi! I’m Meggy — lifelong dog lover, certified belly-rub expert, and fluent in woof. I’ve grown up with pups of every size and personality, and honestly? I often prefer their company to most humans. I treat every dog like my own — whether that means walks, playtime, meds, snuggles, or just hanging out for some calm company. I’ve handled it all: first aid, meds, feeding tubes, even seizures and back injuries. Nothing surprises me, and every pup gets gentle, loving care. My dream is to someday move into a modern farmhouse with at least five dogs running around. Until then, I’ll happily look after yours and you can rest assured that I will treat them just like they’re part of my pack. 🐶💛 I work from home 3 days a week and have a pretty flexible remote schedule. My boyfriend works from home full-time 5 days a week we have a fenced in yard in a relatively quiet neighborhood along with 3 fur babies to keep your precious pup company. Or, if they prefer a quieter, more peaceful vibe, we have multiple cozy indoor rooms and nooks with childproofed gates attached to the doorframes which ensure every dog will be able to find a perfect spot for their needs
“My dog has stayed with Anastasia a couple times now and she has been great each time! She is easy to work with and Tessie seems to always have a good time there, coming home well rested, happy and wiggly (not always an easy feat with a sassy cattle dog!) I appreciate her level of communication as she is quick to respond when needed but never too much or too little. Highly recommend!”
“Ryan was so great with Opal! It was our first time using Rover so we were a little uneasy but were going away for a week and hoping to find a home away from home for our Opal. Ryan was amazing, so caring and kind, she got lots of play time in their yard, lots of walks and loved playing with their dog Goose. I got daily texts with pictures and he really put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our vacation.”
“I couldn’t have imagined a better first experience with in-house boarding. They were incredibly understanding of my dog’s needs, and Masha loved them from the very first meeting! They even went the extra mile to ensure she was eating well and gave her treats, which I truly appreciated. I would recommend them hands down to anyone—it was such a relief to know she was in such great hands.”
“We really appreciated Karen's excellent communication with us while she cared for our dog, Rosie. Rosie also got lots of affection from Karen's daughter--which we also loved hearing about!”
“Xiaoxue was a total lifesaver when we needed a sitter last minute!. She was immediately responsive, easy to coordinate with, and took such great care of our Labrador. Our pupper came home happy and tired from her stay. We will definitely be using their services again!"”
About: Started dog sitting when I was living in Canada and have missed it since. Especially love young pups who enjoy stimulation and having a good routine. My 2 pups would be excited to welcome anyone to join our little adventure. I work from home unless called into the office. I love bringing my (or any) dogs with me since I spend most of my time in the outdoors during the weekend (camping, hiking, simply enjoying walks). Lunch & evening time is for walks when the weather is friendly. Otherwise, mental stimulation at home! Happy to tailor my care depending on each of my client. I usually feed & train dogs separately especially when they are new to prevent resource guarding. Dogs are allowed on furniture/ bed and my pups are trained to sleep in their crate if need be to give more space for visiting dogs to feel more comfortable at our home.
About: My husband Lonnie, and I will be the care team for your dog, whether they are staying for a few hours or a few days. We are a pup-loving family looking into fostering or adopting a dog in the long-term. We've had pet hamsters, a hedgehog and bunny but our kids (10, 12 and 15) have wanted a dog for years. In our last neighborhood we signed up as puppysitters and hosted a few different dogs, started walking others, and generally tried to give our kids as much experience with them as possible to test the waters! Now that we live in a big house with a large fenced yard and quiet neighborhood, we would love to welcome your pup into our home for a day, a weekend or a longer stay full of love, hugs, play and walkies. We are still fairly new to the dog-sitting game but we are eager to hear from you and learn how to care for your dog the way you do at home. I work two days a week as a supply teacher, and my husband works remotely from home, so most days there will be 2 adults around to play with your pup! We have three kids between the ages of 10-15; two boys and a girl. They are all eager to spend time with your dog, and help us out with walks, potty breaks, playtime and quiet cuddles. We have a large, fenced yard and plenty of room in the house for your dog's crate and favourite nap mats. If your dog is used to being allowed on furniture or beds, we will allow it in our home too. There will always be somebody home to walk your dog in the mornings, during the day, after school or in the evening. On weekends we will clear our schedules so that we are all available as a family, and during the week there will be 1-2 parents home until school finishes, and then 3 kids home to play after that!
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Worcester is $63

I was extremely pleased with the care Ashton provided for my two senior Chihuahuas while we were away on vacation. She is incredibly friendly, attentive, and caring. She kept me frequently updated on how Coco and Spike were doing, sent lots of pictures, and was always quick to respond to any messages. It was clear that she gave them so much love, attention, and care throughout their stay. I was initially very nervous about leaving my dogs with someone I didn't know, especially for an extended period of time, but Ashton quickly put my mind at ease. Knowing they were in such good hands made it so much easier to enjoy our vacation without worrying about them. I would happily trust Ashton with Coco and Spike again and will absolutely be booking with her whenever we go away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!
Shea and Damien are absolutely awesome!!! Molly is so at home with them and it makes us feel so good that she is in good hands. She's getting older so her activity level has declined so it's so nice to know that she can snuggle with them, just like she does at home. They are the BEST!! Thank you again Shea and Damien for taking such good care of our girl!! <3
So fortunate to found Leslie to watch our fur babies for the weekend. Wonderful home with lots of room and a fenced backyard. Our lab isn’t able to do stairs, Leslie was so accommodating as to walk her around the front of the house to let her inside. Loved the photos shared of their stay, thank you for taking such great care of them. ❣️
Andre and his family are such wonderful and kind people. They were very welcoming when we brought our boys over for their introduction before booking for the weekend stay. The updates throughout the weekend via text were a delight to see. As much as we missed the boys we felt so easy to know they truly were in great hands with Andre and family. We will definitely book again.
This was Milo’s first stay with Dawn. My regular dog sitter was away so I reached out to find a back-up. Dawn was very responsive and was able to schedule a meet-and-greet within a few days, which went well. Their home has a fantastic backyard that’s perfect for running and playing, and Milo got plenty of outdoor time and activity during his stay. Milo is an anxious dog, so being in a new environment was definitely a little challenging for him. Dawn, Kevin, and the kids were incredibly patient and gave him lots of TLC. They even went the extra mile and put down blankets and rugs when Milo was hesitant to walk on the wood floors! It was clear that they genuinely cared about making Milo feel comfortable and safe. I really appreciated the patience and kindness they showed him, and I would definitely have Milo stay with them again in the future!
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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Worcester is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,942 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
