“This was my first time on Rover and my yellow lab Gus had a great time with Rebeca and her family! She provided photo updates and was very friendly. They live on a nice neighborhood and have a great home for dogs to feel at home and play!! Thank you again. We will definitely be booking again with Rebeca”
“Julie was great. Offered a quick meetup to get Betsy Lou acquainted which was perfect. The next day, Betsy Lou went right up to her tail wagging. I was very comfortable leaving her with Julie. Everything in was smooth and easy, and most of all my dog loved Julie and her family!”
“Kristin and Bobby watched our dog with a last minute call when we were vacationing in the Boston area. When we took our dog in the morning they came out to meet us and made sure that our dog was comfortable with them and their home. Our dog took right to both them and their dog. During the day my dog was exercised, fed and played with. I was very happy with our experience and would highly recommend them if you need a dog sitter.”
“Our dog Beebo had an amazing time at Jodi’s. She enjoyed running in her vast fenced backyard and playing with the other dogs of the house. Jodi is friendly, reliable and communicative. We won’t hesitate booking her again in the future.”
“Dolev was very sweet with my anxious puppy. She asked a lot of good questions at the meet and greet- being thorough so both of our expectations could be met. The updates during his stay set my mind at ease.”
About: We believe in caring for dogs’ emotional needs as much as their physical ones. That means lots of attention, playtime, and a calm, structured environment. We host one guest dog at a time (or a bonded pair) to ensure each pup receives personalized care and feels at home. With work-from-home adults and a large fenced backyard, your dog will have plenty of human interaction, room to roam, and time to relax indoors with our friendly labradoodle, Penny. We also enjoy taking 1–2 walks a day (sometimes more!) and welcome visiting dogs to join if they'd like — though we understand some prefer to stay home and chill. We've raised two doodle puppies ourselves and are happy to care for your puppy too! We work from home and rarely have commitments that take us out for more than a few hours. Penny keeps us on a healthy routine, and we truly enjoy how dogs get us outside and moving — it’s good for everyone! We have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of squirrels, chipmunks, and bunnies to keep things interesting! Visiting dogs can play outside with our labradoodle, Penny, or lounge comfortably indoors. They’re welcome on the couch or can relax on a dog bed nearby while we work. We keep things low-key and structured, with lots of attention and calm energy throughout the day. We also take time to reassure visiting dogs that their parent(s) will be back soon — and that this is a fun place to explore in the meantime! We give each pup a tour of the house when they arrive, showing them where they can go and helping them settle in. It’s part of how we help them feel safe and at home right from the start.
“Carolyn was incredible and so communicative while she was watching Remington. He had a blast and came home a happy, tired hound. The next time he went to see her, he sprinted out to say hello, clearly happy to see her!”
“Natali took such great care of our 11 month old puppy during his first overnight stay away from home. She was patient, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even though he was a little nervous from being in a new environment, she was incredibly understanding and attentive to his needs. We could tell he was well cared for and had a great time with Natali and Rocko. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Donnie is amazing. Not only is he beyond accommodating with pick up and drop off times but more importantly he clearly has a passion for dogs and treats our pup like his own. He is gentle with the dogs, interactive, and helps out with any training questions we have. 110% recommend him to anybody looking for a sitter, or trainer.”
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!
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 more than 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic care, and providing a calm and attentive environment. I understand that every dog has different needs and temperaments, and I always try to give personalized care and attention. I work remotely from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive daytime care, regular walks and potty breaks, and consistent supervision to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I have a half fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy outdoor time under supervision. It’s a great space for exercise and potty breaks throughout the day.
“Belinda took great care of our dog Ollie and sent regular updates and pictures. Ollie is an anxious dog and he seemed very comfortable there. We would definitely have him stay with her again!”

Lauren accepted my last minute request to provide day care for my 8 month old French bulldog puppy and was an amazing caregiver! She followed all of my care instructions for my pup. She quickly responded to my messages and questions. Her pricing was fair and affordable when comparing other rates in the area. I look forward to booking with Lauren again in the future!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Boxford on Rover is $37.95 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 Boxford 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 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 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.

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.
