“Leaving our nearly three-year-old dog, Charlie, with a sitter for the first time made us a bit anxious, but that all changed once we met Monica during the meet and greet. Her genuine love for dogs was obvious right away, and our concerns melted away. Monica took care of Charlie for the entire day, sending us regular updates and photos. It was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands, allowing us to enjoy our day worry-free. Thank you, Monica!”

About: I am taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old when I got my first dog, I worked with an NGO as I grew to help with rescues. I have been around dogs all my life basically. When I moved countries I decided to expand my family and we got Blu :) (my husky) I treat all fur babies as part of my family, and make sure the pet feels safe and loved. Be ready to get alot of pics and videos of your fur baby when you leave them with me I work from home, its me and my husky while kids and husband are out most of the day :) We go out for walks, we have a small dog park sometimes we go there as well. I take Blu 3 times for her walk as she enjoys it and I get to complete my steps I live in an apartment (1500 Sq Ft) no fenced yard but we have well maintained society where I take them out for walk, we also have a small park for them to run and burn energy. We enjoy a good company !

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! Currently I have one small senior little dog in our home today. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around! I 100% work from home and have flexible schedules so that I can play/take your dog/s for a walk throughout the day based on their schedule. I am fully remote and have a flexible schedule. When the weather is nice I tend to work in our backyard so your pets can play outside all they want. Summer months my 4 & 6 year old will be around towards the end of the day and they are balls of energy and love playing with new dog friends. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pets. They would be fed according to your schedule and requirements, and regular photos provided.

About: I am a true animal lover, I have had dogs, cats and horses my whole life from puppy to elderly. I am a horse/ dog person and a semi retired Artist/Painter who works from home. I have a beautiful old farmhouse that is completely dog friendly. I created my back yard for my dogs, its one acre fenced and would rival any dog park. Off the kitchen I have a screen porch with fans that is adjacent to an outdoor umbrella covered stone patio with a stone ramp rather than stairs that leads to the back yard. In the summer there is a pool I fill on warm days for the pups to play in. The yard has shade areas, sun areas and woodland areas as well as outdoor hot and cold running water. I have dozens of dogs that come to stay with me several times a year for the past several years, each pull on their lead to get in and owners/parents are so thrilled that their dog is so happy to be here. I send image updates while you are away to show you what fun your dog is having. my house is dog heaven!!! Dogs have always been part of my life, and will always be. I am a true animal person. I love them all and will take care of your fur baby as if he or she was my own. I have a fenced yard and one wonderful 45 lb female retriever rescue mix. I also have a cat, I have the ability to put the cat in the other part of the house if needed. Please advise me if your dog does not like cats when booking and again prior to your arriving. Your dog is welcome to sleep where he or she likes, if you have a special bed or crate you are welcome to bring it. Dogs are only allowed in the back yard and house I do not allow any dogs in the front yard and request when you bring them in they are on leash. My front yard is walled and gated leashing them is just a double precaution due to the road. I do not accept any dog that will try to escape, is not dog friendly, aggressive or is destructive. This is a fabulous environment, all the dogs get along and have fun. It’s a vacation or camp for your pup.

About: I bring genuine care and patience to every dog I work with. I’ve personally cared for a Husky for the past 4 years, so I understand the importance of exercise, attention, consistency, and handling high-energy dogs with confidence. Huskies require a lot of patience and structure, which has helped me become very attentive to dogs’ needs and behaviors. I also have experience walking other dogs of different sizes and personalities, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s energy level and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just wants someone calm and comforting around, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I can help reinforce basic training, maintain routines, provide regular exercise, and make sure pets get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I’m especially good with energetic breeds, shy dogs that need patience, and dogs who thrive on companionship and consistency. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I make time each day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention so they feel safe and relaxed while in my care. I have a Fenced in yard, so sometimes I will let them run around the back yard, play fetch. And after a few minutes take them on a quick walk. I update Dog parents with Videos and photos so they get updates on there dogs well being and i will always ask for specific diets dogs may have so there routine doesn't change when they're in my care!

“Cheryl has a great setup and is a dog lover and incredible resource! We had a meet and greet prior to the day I dropped off my 4 month old puppy and I felt at ease leaving her there (her first daycare experience which could’ve been nerve wracking but I knew she’d be in great hands). My pup was tired from playing and learning from the other dogs there and slept so well after! I will be using Cheryl’s services again in the future!”

“Carol is just great. My little Nico was very happy with Carol -- he went right in with her and he is usually very apprehensive. She has a great home and a very expansive yard that is just wonderful for dogs. Carol's temperament is wonderful and I think Nico sensed that! Carol is warm and welcoming. She took very good care of Nico and I highly recommend her and trust her with my most precious creature!”

About: I grew up around dogs my whole life so I’m used to being around them. I also have had one other dog before and now have a mini dachshund. I’m very comfortable with taking care of dogs and having them in my space. I work a full time job at home, but I’m in control of my own schedule and am very flexible. I’m also available weekends and in the summer, I’m even more flexible. I take my dog out 2-3x a day depending on weather. We go on walk across the street at the park for about 15-20 min and when we are back inside, he is allowed to roam freely. He eats 2x a day with snacks in between and he always has water out. I play with him as much as I can throughout the day to make sure he doesn’t get too bored with his day too! My apartment is always clean to ensure that my pup doesn’t get into anything he isn’t supposed to. Lastly, my apartment building is secure as you need a key fob or someone to buzz you in to enter the building.

Dobby had the best time with her, Coco, and Kiki, and he’s already looking forward to their next playdate. We couldn’t recommend Jo more highly!”

“I had gone to about 3 other trainers before I got to Donnie and I wish I had gone to him first. My dog primo was a sweet but wild pup that I could barely handle when I first brought him to Donnie. In a matter of weeks he helped me turn my dog into a well behaved companion that I can now take anywhere I please and he gets better everyday. I definitely would recommend him to anyone who needs pet sitting or training he goes beyond your expectations to help you and your dog.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Ballardvale on Rover is $34 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $44 per day. 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 Ballardvale 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 2,870 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 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 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 .

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,870 sitters in Ballardvale, 88% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
