“My dog had an awesome time! Dina sent me a picture to update me on how she was doing during the day which I appreciated. I will definitely be rebooking for daycare or boarding.”
About: Hello! My name is Ana! I can help with boarding, day care and dog training (basic obedience, behavioral modification, socialization, potty training, desensitization etc.) I love working with dogs and have been doing it for a long time. I live in a house with a lot of space for different activities. Whether your dog is crate trained, roams the house, has special needs or on medication I can adjust to your pup’s needs. I want to provide the best care for your animals while you’re away. You will receive plenty of picture updates and a happy pooch in the end. Please message me with any concerns or questions! Thank you! I work from home, therefore I have plenty of time dedicated to the pups staying in my care. I do dog sport competitions, so might not be available some weekends. Dogs are never left unattended! Temperaments are matched for play time and socialization. Overnight dogs stay in crates to ensure a calm and safe space for each pup.

About: I'm experienced with cats & dogs in all stages of life (newborn to senior), including special needs. I also have lots of experience administering medications. I am very flexible and can fit the needs of your pet's schedule. I can early mornings, afternoons, nights and weekends. I am also available for scheduled reoccurring pop in visits or dog walks to fit your busy schedule. In my home, my dogs and cats are part of my family. We all cuddle on the couch and spend lots of time outside in our yard while I garden. In your home, I would be consistent with your existing boundaries. If there are parts of your home or yard that you prefer your pets stay out of, I ensure that we continue to follow your desired house rules. I will always do my best to follow any directions provided by you to ensure your pets have the best care while you are away.
About: What sets me apart?: I've loved animals since I was born and have interacted with dogs and other animals ever since. I love dogs of all kinds and can adapt to their personalities. I will do my best to accommodate you while you are out and ensure your dogs aren't just safe but happy. I am very flexible for virtually all dates (weekdays and weekends).

“Ester accepted our request on a very short notice. We arrived earlier than expected and she welcome our fur friend right away. She took good care of him and send us pictures. He seemed very happy and secure. Thanks for your service Ester!”
“Melissa and her husband are very friendly people and you can tell talking to them that they know about dogs. As a dog parent that is very important but also comforting to know when leaving my dog with a sitter especially if it's overnight. Well I have already used their services twice and I'm very happy. Duke seems pretty happy too when he goes there as not only do they take good care of him but they also have 3 dogs so he has buddies to run around and play with. I highly recommend Melissa to any dog parent wanting to find a good, caring dogsitter to leave your pup with when you have to go somewhere for an extended period. I know I plan to use her services again. Good job Melissa!”
About: I give personalized care, puppy training support, and gentle senior care—all with lots of love, attention, and updates you can count on. I will love and spoil your dog like my own two. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship—not long hours alone. Walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks are easily built into our schedule, and I love including dogs in our home. I have a fenced yard and two Boston Terriers who love to play to keep your fur baby occupied. But they also love to sleep if your pup enjoys that. I have two girls who love animals and will love to help care for your babies. We are home most of the time we also provide care.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life for the most part I Had nothing but American pit bulls. But at one point we had so many different types of dogs from curly haired poodles to a cocker spaniel to a golden retriever all dogs that were given to us because the owners knew I was going to take care of them unfortunately the original owners couldn’t take care of them or keep them but they knew I was going to go above and beyond to make sure that their pups were going to feel like my home was their home I love all dogs from all types and I always try to figure out what their breeds are so if they’re barking loud or barking too much and if it’s a part of their breed that’s what I say that’s their breed we can’t get mad about something that’s a part of them I am very good at training dogs to be comfortable around stressful situations but also the basic needs I am willing to do whatever I need to do to make you the owner feel as comfortable as possible knowing that your pet is safe so if you need a lot of text messages and photos without a question without a doubt I am more than happy to do that From Monday to Friday I am available from 10am6pm or if needed longer I’m more then willing to see what your the owner need but most importantly your pet because all dog have different needs so I’m going to be as flexible I live in a apartment but it is closed in I am allergic to bees but i still want to to be able to sit outside in the morning with my pup so not worries about dogs jumping out of are Fence

“We just found a new home away from home for our baby Mochi! Emily is very nice, reliable and caring. Mochi is very happy and excited going into Emily’s place and will come back home very happy and relaxed. I am so happy to find a sitter/daycare where I can have a peace of mind knowing that my baby is safe and very well taken care of. Will definitely rebook and highly recommended.”
About: I have experience with all types of dogs. From senior disabled dogs who can’t walk anymore and have a lot of medications to take, to young pups learning and discovering everything. I also have experience with trained dogs so I’m able to reinforce training on walks or at home. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I spend time outside with my own dogs multiple times a day, and when I have boarding dogs, they join in on the fun! My Huskies are well-trained and independent within our fully fenced property, allowing me to focus on my boarders. I typically walk them on-leash to ensure their safety and give them the attention and exercise they need. Whether it’s structured walks, supervised playtime, or just relaxing outdoors, I make sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for throughout their stay. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for boarding dogs. Our property is 2.5 acres, but because we have local wildlife, I always keep boarders on-leash when outside the designated play area. We have a smaller secure, fenced-in space that serves as a dog park where dogs can safely enjoy supervised off-leash time. I introduce new dogs gradually, with my boyfriend always helping when integrating them with our own dogs. For extra-shy boarders, we start with a structured “walkabout,” keeping everyone on-leash to help them feel comfortable before closer introductions. Inside, I make sure every dog has their own space by using the guest bedroom and office as designated areas. Meal times are managed carefully—each dog eats separately to avoid food-related tension, either in their crate or in a separate room. At bedtime, I have limited spots available in my bed, but I do love snuggling up with my furry guests if that’s what makes them feel safe and at home. Whether they prefer their own cozy space or staying close, I ensure every pup feels comfortable and secure throughout their stay. If they are used to sleeping in their crate, they are welcome to do so as well.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats independently since I was young, and am great at quickly learning about different pets! Each has their own fun personality and it's important to learn about them and put that into care. I currently go to school completely online, so I am available to care for your furry family member any time and any day! I'll have plenty of time to provide necessary playtime and attention. I have great experience taking care of pets personally, and am happy to fit myself into your pet's daily routine! I love taking dogs (and even cats who are willing) out to play and enjoy the weather, as well as relaxing inside and spending time together. I am great at caring for just one to multiple pets at a time as well!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Acton on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Acton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 CA 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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,749 sitters in Acton, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
