How do I prepare my dog for their first day of day care?

Help your dog become familiar with the day-care environment before their first full day. Arrange a Meet & Greet so they can visit the sitter’s home, meet the sitter and any resident pets, and explore the space while you are there. This can make the environment feel more familiar and help you and the sitter confirm that the setup is right for your dog.

Pack anything you and the sitter have agreed your dog will need, such as:

• Their usual food and approved treats, with feeding instructions
• Medication, with clear dosage instructions, if needed
• Their collar or harness and other walking equipment
• Familiar comfort items, such as a blanket or favourite toy
• Any seasonal gear they may need

On the day of the booking, keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their usual meal, toilet break, and some light exercise. Keep drop-off calm and brief, which may help make the transition easier.

If your dog is shy, nervous, or needs more time to adjust to unfamiliar places, ask whether a shorter introductory stay is possible before their first full day.

Does dog boarding include playtime and activities?

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs.

What are the drop-off and pick-up times for doggy day care?

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 Concord 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.

Do sitters in Concord pass a background check?

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

What is a Meet & Greet?

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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 .
