“Merry was wonderful with our Jackson! She was kind, responsive, and very friendly. The icing on the cake were her two sweet and adorable dogs :) We look forward to trusting her with our dog again in the future!”
About: Six years of cuddles, walks, and playtime have made me a true pet enthusiast! I know how much pets enrich our lives, and I'm eager to share that love with your furry friend. I'm experienced in providing engaging activities and creating a fun, safe environment for your pet to thrive. I work from home and can fit in schedules during the week. I have a unfixed, male Beagle, Leo - who is a sweetheart and is very calm and mingles well with to other dogs. He mostly loves to laze around once he's had his fill. I have an enclosed sun room for the pet to relax and bask in the sun. The neighbourhood is very calm, safe and pet friendly.
“Barry was excellent and he took care of Meshki well beyond the expectations. Every night Meshki came back home exhausted from all the walk and fun time he had with Barry and his dog. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you for everything you did for Meshki.”

I just started bringing my 1.5yr puppy to her and she is amazing with him, sends me pics and videos of all the fun he is having while he’s there …he truly LOVES going to Joanne for Doggy daycare! I HIGHLY highly recommend her!!!”

About: I have taken care of different kinds of dogs, cats. When my friends go travel, i always took care of their pets very well, play, feed, walk, hug...

About: I have grown up with dogs. I have learned the puppy phases, teenage phases and older phases. I have had dogs who were sick or needed to have medication. I have a pup of my own who likes to get into trouble by eating anything and everything off the ground. Thankfully we have been training and she has shown great improvement! Pet care happens everyday, all day for me. I have a dog who is high energy and needs mental and physical stimulation constantly. We go on at least one long walk a day, to the dog park when it isn't raining, and lots of fun games and naps around the apartment. I will be home with the dogs the whole day. I have a fenced patio on the first floor and a grass pad for them to sunbathe or roll around on. I can crate your dog if you would like or they can roam free in the apartment with me! I keep all food hidden or put away so they will only have access to the toys and food I provide.

I'd book him again for sure!”

Liza was great! She accommodated a last-minute request and was extremely communicative and responsive throughout Tucker’s stay. It's reassuring to feel no concern about leaving your dog with someone new. I’d definitely recommend Liza and would book with her again.
Liza is clearly very experienced with dogs- Mocha felt comfortable with her and her dog right away, and had a great time playing- she came home tired and calm. Liza has a nice big yard in a quiet neighborhood where the dogs can play. We will certainly use Liza again!

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Acton is $46 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per day. 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.

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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,986 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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 , 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 .
