About: Hello! My husband and I are relatively new to being on the care taker end of Rover. But better late than never! A little about us: We live in a spacious house with a yard with 2 cats and 1 dog (and no kids). We also work from home so we are able to pay lots of attention to our pets and yours! I, myself, am an animal lover with years of volunteer work experience in shelters and zoos. I have grown up in a household with many types of pets from dogs and cats to turtles and chickens and peacocks! We fall in love with every animal we meet, and would love to host your pet when they need us! Both me and my husband work from home and always spend tons of time with our pets including pets and walks and play time and cuddles! We have a large tard with a 6-foot fence. We have two cats and a dog but we can dedicate an entire floor to your pets and spend time with them if separation is necessary from other animals. In the case that the animals don’t get along, we also tend to put our pets in different rooms and spend time with your pet in the main living area. But our pets are very friendly!
“Sara was wonderful with my puppy and young adult dogs, and very accommodating of my lazy Saturday schedule. The pups were happy and relaxed, and Sara had only nice things to say about them, when I came to get them from a day of doggie daycare and slept like rocks—clearly exhausted from a day of nonstop play in Sara’s yard. Would definitely recommend!”
“Joanne has watched my dogs many times and is very dedicated to their care. Her whole living space is made with dogs in mind and she is very attentive to their needs. I have been using her services for years.”
“Onyx had a great day at daycare with Julie! I received pictures throughout the day and updates on how his day went. I will definitely use Julie again in the future! Thank you!”
About: Your dog will feel right at home here! I offer in-home boarding in a calm, low-stress environment with lots of love and attention. I work from home, so your pup gets constant supervision, companionship, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. With a fenced-in yard and one chill, friendly dog, your pet will have a safe and comfortable space to relax and play. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine, including walks, meals, medications, and any special care needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of snuggles. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to each dog’s needs and routine. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment where dogs can feel at home. My yard is fully fenced and always supervised, and I will follow any routines or preferences you have for your pet. I work from home, so pets are rarely alone, and I can accommodate dogs who need more frequent care or attention. I’m experienced with giving pills, liquid, and topical medications, and I’m happy to welcome multiple dogs as long as it’s a good fit for everyone. My goal is to provide a space that’s safe, trustworthy, and low-stress, where your dog can relax, cuddle, and feel cared for.
About: We are a husband and wife team, raising our own Vizsla, Bella. Between the two of us, we are always looking after our own dog and it's easy for us to provide doggy day care or overnight care in our home. We welcome well trained, friendly dogs as well as puppies. We have flexible schedules and spend a lot of time exercising our own dog. Our dog requires a lot of exercise so we often run her in our fenced in yard as well as the park near our house. We never leave our dog alone for more than 3 hours at the most. We have a very dog friendly home, and pets are free to roam about, provided they're trained and won't be destructive to furniture. We like our dogs to feel comfortable always, so they are allowed on couches, etc and we have a lot of comfy areas for them to hang.
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and had one of my own until recently. Having dogs in my lives has brought me immense joy! I will treat and care for your dog as if they were a part of my family. I am very reliable and responsible, and I have transportation available for pick-up and drop-off if needed. I would be delighted to take care of your pet! I work from home most of the times and have a pretty flexible schedule! I usually walk my in the morning and before sunset every day, each around 30 minutes, but could increase the frequency if your dog needed! I have a fenced yard, and there are 2 dog parks near my house, I usually let my dog plays there. The dogs in the park I meet are all super friendly! Besides, I have plenty of toys and treats in the house.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with multiple family dogs taught me early on that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and quirks—and I love getting to know them all. In addition to being a lifelong dog lover, I spent four years working as a professional dog bather at PetSmart, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. That experience helped me become comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections, so you can feel confident that your pet's health needs will be carefully managed while they're in my care. Whether your dog is looking for a walking buddy, a cuddle companion, or someone to stick to their routine while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own pets. Currently open to boarding throughout the year, for dogs able to stay indoors for 8 hours. Weekday Dog walking and dog day care available through beginning of August. I have no other pets in the home! I have a single family ranch style home with a yard. I am also within walking distance from a rail trail. I do also enjoy hiking and would be able to take your pets on wooded adventures!
“Strudel had a great time with tons of space to run and play and two other friendly dogs to play with. Souvik and Meghan were attentive, answered all of our questions immediately, and sent periodic updates of Strudel's adventures playing with the other pups and on walks.”
“Our dog had a great time, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they received! She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, which we really appreciated and loved seeing. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Growing up around dogs and other animals, I developed a deep appreciation for understanding each pet’s unique personality, needs, and quirks. Today, our home is a safe, loving environment where every dog is treated like family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, ensuring that dogs in my care receive frequent supervision, companionship, exercise, and affection throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys active walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing with people nearby, I tailor their experience to match their individual needs and comfort level. Our family plays a big role in making every dog feel welcome. Our teenagers absolutely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s playing fetch, giving belly rubs, going on walks, or simply showering them with attention and affection. Dogs staying with us quickly become part of the family and receive plenty of love, companionship, and one-on-one interaction throughout their stay. We are fortunate to have a large backyard and direct access to a beautiful conservation area, providing endless opportunities for exercise, exploration, and outdoor enrichment. From leisurely walks and nature adventures to active play sessions, dogs have plenty of space to stretch their legs, burn energy, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and supervised environment. What I Offer * Large backyard with direct access to a conservation area * Daily walks, outdoor adventures, and enrichment activities * Consistent supervision and companionship * Personalized care based on your dog’s personality and routine * A calm, family-oriented environment * Lots of love and attention from our dog-loving teens * Regular updates and communication for peace of mind Please Note * Boarding pick-ups and drop-offs are preferred between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. * Additional fees may apply for dogs requiring significantly more care than average. Additional Care Fees Because some dogs require substantially more time, supervision, and individualized attention, the following surcharges may apply: * Puppies under 1 year old: +$10–$20 per day (depending on age, training level, and care requirements) * Dogs with separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, or those requiring constant supervision: +$10–$20 per day * Large dogs (50+ lbs.) requiring additional handling, exercise, or supervision: Fee determined during the meet-and-greet * Untrained dogs or dogs not fully housebroken: Fee determined during the meet-and-greet I will discuss all pricing transparently during the meet-and-greet to ensure the best fit for both your dog and our home. I have experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn about their routines, commands, preferences, and behaviors before their stay. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or enjoys a quieter environment, we adapt our care to help them feel right at home. My goal is to create an stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing dependable, attentive, and personalized care. Plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles (when welcomed), and individualized attention are all part of the experience. I have a 9 years old, friendly doodle to keep your furry family member company while you are away. I can crate or provide a calm private space, if needed.
“Kathy was great with Comet. She sent lots of pictures and gave him lots of treats and love. And Franklin was an excellent host too. Kathy was very communicative and asked lots of questions before we met, making us feel safe leaving Comet there. We would absolutely use her again!”
About: I have worked for the WAG! app for over a year now. I've always enjoyed caring for friends and neighbors pets when they were away from home. I've also always had at least 2 pets of my own. I'm currently taking the year off to go back to school. Since all of my courses are online, I am able to remain home each day to care for the animals in my care. I have a large yard that is partially fenced in with a very long run setup across the yard. I also live extremely close to walking trails and have private beach access.

We had a great experience with Emma! Our dogs are fussy. One is older and easily tired, the other is super energetic and nervous. They both were very calm and happy the whole time with her. She sent lots of pictures, which was great, and I felt she took very good care of them. She was also very quick to communicate and confirm plans.
Emily was excellent with our dog, especially given how timid he is with new people/surroundings. She was extremely accommodating with my pick up/drop off windows and kept me updated with pictures/messages throughout the day to keep my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a dog sitter.
We couldn’t be happier with the care Shannan has provided over the past three weeks! Not only has she taken wonderful care of our dog, but she has also been house sitting and doing training sessions that have made such a positive difference. Her communication has been fantastic—she kept us updated with messages, photos, and little stories so we always knew how things were going, which gave us huge peace of mind. Our pup is happier, calmer, and better behaved thanks to the time and attention Shannan has invested. We came home to a tidy house and a very content dog. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We’re so grateful and can’t recommend Shannan highly enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cochituate on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,210 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Cochituate. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Cochituate 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 3,210 sitters in Cochituate, 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.
