Healthy Rover

Welcome to Healthy Rover, a home away from home for pampered pooches from Boston’s South End. We provide 24 hour, 7 day a week boarding in our suburban home.

Daily routines and a variety of spaces allow each of our guest dogs their own happy spot. Located on 6+ wooded acres, we have a fully fenced yard for safe supervised outdoor play. Our maximum capacity of 4 boarding dogs ensures that your dog’s care and comfort is front and center.
