“Julie and her family were great and provided excellent piece of mind. The interview process was very helpful to make sure that it would be a good fit and we got a lot of useful updates during our dog's stay.”
About: As a proud dog owner myself, I bring genuine love and energy to every pet I care for. I understand how important your fur baby is to you, and I treat every dog like my own — with patience, attention, and lots of playtime. Your pup is in great hands! I work part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility throughout the day to give your pup the attention they deserve. I’m available midday and afternoons, making me a great fit for dogs who need midday check-ins or walks. I live in a cozy 1-bedroom apartment with my own friendly, socialized dog — so your pup will always have a playmate! I keep a safe, pet-proofed space and treat every dog like family.
“Initially before my Scottie Dog’s daycare, we did a “Meet and Greet”, which gave Jack an opportunity to interact with Kavita’s dog, Toby. Toby was very welcoming to another dog to share his spacious fenced in backyard. The next day, I dropped off Jack, who was eager to meet his new dog friend, Toby. During the day, Kavita sent me a photo, and video of Jack’s outside activity. It was very reassuring to know that my pet was doing just fine interacting with the other dogs.”
“Jo is extremely communicative towards the pawrents and loving toward the pups. We definitely appreciate all the photos of our pup and the reports at the end of the day. I would 100% their services as their space is lovely and the care is exceptional!”
“Xiaofan was wonderful with our 2 fur babies. She’s extremely responsive and kept us updated during the stay with plenty of pictures! Our dogs can’t wait for their next visit”
“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!”
“Sergio conducts himself as knowledgeable, professional, and caring of dogs. Boo loves to get there I’m the morning and Sergio always offers some really good tips on how to work on some of her behaviors. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve raised three dogs from puppies to adulthood, so I have years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. Now, when my friends travel, they trust me to take care of their dogs at my home. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and happy, just like they would at home. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I am at home 24/7, so your dog will never be left alone. I has plenty of time to feed, walk, and care for each pet with love and attention. Our neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic, making it a safe and peaceful place for walks and play. Your dog will always have someone nearby for company and comfort. We provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I am always at home to supervise and care for the pets, ensuring they’re never left alone. We don’t use cages — dogs are free to roam, rest, or play as they wish. Our quiet neighborhood with low traffic offers a safe environment for walks. We keep a close eye on each pet’s well-being and behavior. Every pet is treated like family, with patience, love, and constant care.
“Cindy is so attentive to all the dogs that she cares for, there is great outdoor space for them to play, a lovely screened in porch and inside her home by her side to rest. I trust her and her two pups are so good with all doggie guests! So glad I found her, Daisy and Gummy!”
“This was Ace’s first visit with Theresa, who conscientiously made sure the visit was safe by contacting the owner of another dog she was watching at the same time to make sure it was okay and by hosting a pre-meet to make sure the dogs got along together. For the actual visit, Theresa and family welcomed Ace warmly and provided a safe and fun environment. Highly recommended.”
About: I adopted my dog 7 years ago, and have helped her navigate the world as an anxious doggo. I’m well versed with medication admin, am very patient and take the time to understand a dog’s body language. Love doggos, belly rubs, behind the ear scratches and cuddles are my specialty ☺️ During the day I mainly work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible to fit in walks and feedings. Also able to stay home more if boarding pets. There is a smal fenced dog park in my building also lots of walking areas (not fenced) but very safe. Not traffic around and lots of friendly dogs, respectful of each other’s spaces
“My puppy Blaze had a great time at doggy daycare. I loved that they’re knowledgeable and were able to make Blaze feel comfortable despite his separation anxiety. I’d recommend anyone here rather than a daycare facility.”
“Great experience—very communicative and kept me updated with photos. It was clear my dog had an amazing time playing with her dogs, because he came home happily tired. I will book again!”
“Luna got lots of exercise with Taco and was a tired pup after her first day of doggy day care. Ranjith sent me picture updates and let know how she was doing. She will be going back for overnight boarding soon.”
“Lucille is fantastic! She is very caring and kind. She is so easy work with and very accommodating. She took very good care of Kona and sent me pictures and updates through the stay. I am looking forward to having Kona stay with Lucille again soon! It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy and reliable to care for my beloved dog at times when I cannot.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was a child—I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other pets, and I truly see them as family. I have two cats, Bleu and Theodore who are my absolute world, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention as I give my own. What sets me apart from other sitters is my natural connection with animals and my commitment to creating a safe, calm, and happy environment tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience with a wide range of animals, including high-energy puppies, shy or anxious pets, and senior dogs and cats who need extra TLC. I’m reliable, intuitive, and attentive to small details—whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, recognizing signs of stress, or making sure your pet gets their favorite toy before bedtime. I go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make your pet feel at home even when they’re not! Right now, pet care is my top priority—I’m not working another job, so I have full availability to dedicate to your pets. This means I’m flexible with scheduling, whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings. Because I’m not juggling other commitments, I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I’m here to make your life easier and your pet’s day happier—every single time! When caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to your routines to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just like you’re there. I keep things tidy, follow any feeding or medication schedules, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and love. If your pet is staying at my home, I ask that you bring their crate, leash, food, and anything else that helps them feel secure and settled (like their favorite toy or blanket). I’ll make sure they have a cozy, clean space, regular walks, and lots of affection throughout their stay. Whether we’re out for a walk or having a quiet day inside, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and care tailored to their personality and needs.
About: Do you want your dog to have more outside time? Do you need your dog to have a friend? I have a small dog myself and she roams around and takes naps all day. We sometimes take walks to the park and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. Please feel free to ask any questions or if you have any concerns. Full time fur Mama. I provide healthy treats like carrots, blueberries, and peanut butter. Sometimes I make frozen doggie treats as well. Relaxing and welcoming environment. Non aggressive pet but prefers to be left alone. Your pet can be crated if you desire. I can provide plenty of outside and play time for your pet. I have a fenced in patio and back yard they love to play in.
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 10. They bring me so much joy. I have owned many dogs for over 30 years, all breeds. We have a large fenced in yard and we go on many walks throughout the day. I am home full-time. We have a golden retriever named Bear and chocolate lab named Moose who add energy, fun and lots of snuggles to our home. I owned a successful dog boarding business in our home for over ten years, with many repeat furry clients. I have cared for everything from Great Danes to Jack Russell Terriers and love them all. I am home full-time and am present with dogs and caring for their needs. Would love to meet your pup! I am flexible for drop off and pick ups. I have a large fenced in yard and the dogs can go out as often as they like. They are welcome on the furniture and i have many dog beds. I go on several long walks a day for those who enjoy getting out!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chelmsford
Initially before my Scottie Dog’s daycare, we did a “Meet and Greet”, which gave Jack an opportunity to interact with Kavita’s dog, Toby. Toby was very welcoming to another dog to share his spacious fenced in backyard. The next day, I dropped off Jack, who was eager to meet his new dog friend, Toby. During the day, Kavita sent me a photo, and video of Jack’s outside activity. It was very reassuring to know that my pet was doing just fine interacting with the other dogs.
Lisa was wonderful with our puppy Vivi! This was our first time leaving her, and Lisa really helped ease any anxiety we had. She took the time to make sure Vivi was comfortable, sent lots of updates, and was so understanding about how timid Vivi can be around other dogs and new environments. We definitely recommend her—book with Lisa, you’ll be glad you did!
Jersey Jack was thrilled to spend Saurday with Mary Ellen, and her dog, Ellie. The Friday "Meet & Greet" was a positive indication of how both dogs would interact. Their shaded & fenced in yard, gave Jack plenty of outside oppertunity to run, explore, and chase with Ellie. When I came to pick up Jersey Jack, he & Ellie were inside their spacious AC house having an interactive chase game. Honestly, I was so happy to see my Scottie playing with a small dog, like him. Jack wouldn't budge off their steps to leave. Mary Ellen asked about carrying Jersey Jack to my car. This is the "Doggie Daycare" location, where I know that my Scottie will receive top quality pet care, with the necessary interaction & stimulation with their friendly dog, Ellie!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Chelmsford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Chelmsford on Rover is $44.4 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 Chelmsford 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,854 sitters in Chelmsford, 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.
