“I feel so happy that I know my fur baby is well taken care of when I need to travel. Yunshu took really good care of him and kept me up to date throughout the day of how he was doing!! I highly recommend her !!!!”
“Jessica is a GEM!!!! I was nervous about finding someone to take care of my pup who can be nervous in new situations/people and had some health stuff going on, but Jessica did everything to make her feel comfortable and cared for, and now my girl LOVES hanging out with Jessica and Abu!! Jessica also did everything to make ME, nervous dog mom, comfortable by sending lots of sweet videos and pictures of my pup having a grand ol' time. Jessica is the best!”
“My first experience with Christine's caregiving for my dog was wonderful! She went from being scared on arrival to fitting right in with the family! I will definitely send my pup to Christine's home again!”
“Sharon was very responsive. It was easy to communicate with her via phone, email, & text. She kept me well updated on how my pup was doing. She had a box of dog toys & my puppy found them & started playing right away. Her yard is not fenced however, she had a tether line that allowed my pup to explore most of the yard. Sharon also entertained my pup with our own favorite toys from home such as bubble & puzzles. This was my 1st time to try this service & to leave my 5 month old puppy & I was nervous at first but, Sharon's calming patient personality put me & my pup at ease. My puppy was happy to see me but didn't seem to have missed me much. I would use her for puppy sitting again if I ever had the need. Thank you Sharon for such a nice experience.”
“Belle is a thoughtful and confidence-inspiring gal. She is warm, punctual, a good communicator and, clearly, loves caring for critters. Our pup took to her right away and was thrilled to see her when she returned for a subsequent visit. On thier last outing our pet tracker logged some 14,000 steps prior to Belle returning a sleepy and contented pooch. I'm sure that Remy is looking forward to her next visit.”
“we couldn't have asked for a better place to leave Ian. Brian was great with him and us. The home was ideal. There were several dogs already there when I dropped Ian off. He isn't used to being with other dogs. Nevertheless, he quickly found friends and when I left he was bounding up the stairs after a golden doodle. I felt very confident that Brian could and would ensure Ian's safety and comfort. I felt very lucky to have been able to leave Ian with Brian. We will be repeat customers”
“I love Savannah and her mom Sandy! They are both really easy to talk and friendly! Savannah and Sandy took care of Tony really well. I'm thankful to them to accommodate in such short notice.”
“Margo watched Finn during the day when I had to go back to work. She had no problem accepting the challenge of caring for a young puppy and has many years of experience raising dogs of her own. Finn got along really well with her two dogs and was always excited to go to Margo's house when I dropped him off in the morning. My mind was at ease during the work day knowing that he was in excellent care. She sent pictures and updates of them going on walks together, playing in the yard with her dogs, and working on some of his training. If we ever go away on a trip, I will definitely use Margo to care for Finn again! She truly loves what she does and cares deeply for all her clients' pups.”
“Paige was wonderful with my pup, Lulu! Paige is very responsive, responsible and organized, and takes very good care of her charges. Paige's young sons were awesome with Lulu, and her own dogs very friendly and patient with her. Highly recommend Paige!”
“Elba is wonderful and Sonny loved spending time with her. He loved running around her yard and made friends quickly with her. She is very responsive and wonderful at communication, she is experienced and knowledgeable. I recommend her 100%!”

Please note bookings m-f between 11am-2pm are the most popular time slots and often secured in advance by weekly reoccurring.

“Qualynda was amazing with our puppy. She watched her for us on very short notice and went above and beyond to care for her and keep us informed. Our girl is pretty timid and was scared at first but warmed up quickly and had a great time. She especially loved running around the big backyard! We will definitely use Qualynda again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Alana – a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for four-legged friends. I’ve never lived in a home without a dog. My very first pup joined our family when I was just five years old, and since then, I’ve had the joy of raising and loving many wonderful pets. My fur baby, Luna, has been by my side for 16 years since she was just six weeks old – she’s my heart and soul! She recently passed away and it’s left my home feeling very empty which is why pet sitting will bring me joy. I also foster dogs from time to time that need a loving home until they find their forever family. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, caring for dogs (and other pets!) while their humans are away. It comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love it. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the time, flexibility, and energy to give your dog the attention, companionship, and TLC they deserve throughout the day. What sets me apart? Years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities A calm, pet-loving home environment with plenty of affection Daily availability and flexible scheduling A genuine passion for treating your pet like family Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just needs some company while you’re gone, I’m here to help them feel safe, happy, and loved. Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your fur baby! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day to give your pet plenty of love, care, and attention. your pet will always have a calm, watchful presence nearby. We also have a gentle four-year-old daughter who adores animals and is used to being around dogs, especially our own sweet senior pup. Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving, and attentive home environment where they’ll never feel lonely. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. I create a calm, loving environment where your pup can feel relaxed, safe, and completely at home. Dogs are absolutely allowed on the furniture — snuggles on the couch are encouraged here! I have a fully fenced-in yard that’s perfect for running, playing, and enjoying fresh air in a secure space. I also live just a short walk from a quiet park, ideal for safe and enjoyable walks tailored to your dog’s energy level. Your pup will never be alone — I’m home during the day, and my husband works from home too. That means there’s always someone around to provide attention, belly rubs, potty breaks, and playtime. I’m attentive to your dog’s needs, routines, and personality — whether they’re active and playful or a laid-back lounger. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, feeding routines, medication schedules, or preferences to make their stay as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Your dog will be loved, watched over, and cared for like one of our own — because that’s exactly how I treat them.
“Words can’t explain how much I appreciate Emma for today. She came in clutch! And really helped at the last minute and spent the entire day with my boy. Was professional. From the start, highly skilled in communication & overall just couldn’t have been a better choice. My boy has pretty bad anxiety and seemed to have warmed up to her and speaks volumes for me . Overall great ringer,”
About: I LOVE animals! I recently lost my 13 year old soul dog who I’ve had since she was 8 weeks old. I have experience with senior and hospice dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your “kids” with someone new, but I promise to keep them safe, happy and loved. I currently do work but have flexible hours and am able to work from home if needed. I am available weekdays/nights and weekends to watch your “kids” I have a single family home where dogs are allowed on the furniture. I also have a fully fenced in back yard for your pups to play in.
About: Please be advised I am no longer accepting Pet Drop In or Walking visits M-F. But please message me anyway. About me: I no longer have pets of my own. My children are grown ups and out of the house on their own. My home is empty with just me and my elderly mother. I still love to have my freedom but would love to take on sitting your pet in my home or your home. I also work from home M-F, so your pet will have me with them for a majority of the time I’m caring for them. I work from home Monday-Fri and have lots of free time to take care of your pet in my home or in your home. Give me a shot please! My yard is not fenced in, however I am fully able to take your pet outside on a leash and for a walk to potty.
About: I grew up taking care of dogs, cats, horses and more. I have had my own family dogs over the years, Trooper for 16 years and Rusty for 14 years. I have cared for friend's dogs, big and small, and my grand dogs for a day or even 1 month. I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. I will do my best to maintain their schedules as well as training and discipline. I will treat them as my own with lots of love and affection, knowing they may miss their parents. I work from home so fitting pet care into my schedule is not an issue. I walked my own dogs every morning in the neighborhood or to the beach. Afternoon neighborhood walks or romps in the big backyard are often on the agenda. I have a single family, single story home with a fenced yard in a great neighborhood. I will treat your pet as my own, keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I love animals and will take great care of your fur baby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Exeter is $29 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per day. On Rover, 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 529 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Exeter. 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 Exeter 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 529 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of RI. 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 RI 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 .
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 , 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 .
