About: Throughout this process I'm excited to meet all types of dogs! I love all breeds and sizes! Home is equipped with a secured 6’ privacy fence around approx. 1 acre for maximum play time or lounging. We have an almost 1 year old dog named Maggie who is very sweet, submissive, and loves to play and have doggie friends. Your baby will have a great time with us in our home! From training to loving and play, walking and feeding, it comes naturally to me and I can't imagine my life not surrounded by dogs or animals in general. You can count on me to handle any quirks, and treat your pet like my own - spoiled with scratches and belly rubs and play time! I work from home Monday through Friday so I will be very attentive to your pup for the full day they are here! We can coordinate many different drop off or pick up times to make it convenient for you I plan to make your dog, puppy feel as comfy as possible whether that means playing, cuddling, walking or being admired from a distance. I also plan to pay attention to all instructions provided and making sure you feel comfortable with me caring for your little love.
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now, through my friends, family, neighbors and my own 2 puppies! I’m a college athlete who’s very active, so I’m happy to run/play and keep energetic dogs exercised while also making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, caring for my own two dogs! However, I’m a college student now, who lives an hour away from home, but I’m back for weekends and have plenty of free time to care for pets! I provide a safe, fun environment for pets. I have a fenced yard for running around outside, and two friendly dogs who would love to make friends! I closely supervise pets and will follow all instructions/special requests strictly from owners!
“Amy and her family are so kind and loving to Stella that our shy puppy is able to warm up and have so much fun at Amy’s!! Amy has gone above and behind to make Stella feel at home. When leaving Stella with Amy, I know she will be loved, be safe and have a very fun day!!”
About: My husband and I have owned multiple dogs, mostly two at a time, since we've been married, 38 years now. Two of which were rescue dogs and one of those two I actually rehabbed to be comfortable around other people and dogs. My daughter, Shannon, is also a Rover Sitter ("Shannon's Doggie Flop Pad"), and occasionally she has needed me to dog sit for her because of high demand. I really enjoyed the dogs I watched and my pups had a great time playing with them, so I decided to become a Rover Sitter myself! Shannon and I have been referring each other ever since. During your dogs stay, they will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Our big, completely fenced-in, backyard lets the dogs run, play and explore as much as they'd like. I can also take your dogs for walks if that is part of their daily routine. No need to bring toys, we have toys galore. Unless, they have a favorite they can't be without. Taking care of your pets is my first priority! I am home most days all day, if not me, my husband works from home full time and is my partner in caring for the dogs. I do work very part time outside the home, a few days a month, I’m never gone for more than 3 hours at a time. I have a fully fenced in back yard for your pet’s safety. I will care for your pet or pets as if they were my own in my home, giving them lots of love and attention. I do have one small dog of my own who gets along well with all dogs and will be excited to meet yours and to keep your fury friend company.
“Brittany is always there when we need help from her. Last minute also she is willing to take care of Bella. Bella loves to go to her house and stay with her. It is Very easy to communicate with Brittany. My Bella is very comfortable with her. She is the best!”
“Lucy and Daniel are a great team for the best doggy daycare you could ever want/need for your dog! My dog is extremely needy and they gave him nothing but love. We look forward to next time!”
“We’ve used Marta’s services twice. So far so good! Marta is very nice and my pup seems happy. She took the time to meet with me before his first daycare, which I think helped with a smooth transition.”
“Chris and Kelly are extremely sweet, understanding, loving and caring. If you choose them as a sitter your baby will be in safe/loving hands. I look forward to using their services again!”
“Kaci was amazing with woody! He loved her company and her dog’s too! They went on multiple trips for woody to play and have fun! We’re truly thankful and grateful for her hard and amazing dog! She was very communicative and very flexible during the whole time, she is phenomenal.”
“SABRINA! Is the best sitter I have had using Rover, she welcomed my baby with open arms and even offered additional services out of the kindness of her heart. My furbaby made new friends, and that part was the highlight of her services. I've even booked for her boarding services as Snipa is very comfortable with her. Thank you Sabrina, looking forward to continuing to work together!!”
“Laura did a great job with Beau- we did our first doggy day care with her. She has 3 other dogs of her own- I think Beau enjoyed playing with some (all?) of them. She sent pictures and was very responsive and flexible with timing. I appreciated it!”
“Taylor is Outstanding. He took care of our two dogs during our wedding, and agreed to bring them after the service so they could be included in the photos. This was in Annapolis, at St. Mary's. Taylor went above and beyond and showed up with the two dogs right when and where they were needed, then took them away after photos while we went to the reception. Very, very strong marks for professionalism, can-do attitude, and quick and friendly responses. I recommend him highly if you need a dogsitter in Annapolis. Thank you, Taylor! Jon and Maria.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Fairhaven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,710 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Fairhaven. 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 Fairhaven 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 MD 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 3,710 sitters in Fairhaven, 87% 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.
