They live on a nice neighborhood and have a great home for dogs to feel at home and play!! Thank you again. We will definitely be booking again with Rebeca”
“Natali took such great care of our 11 month old puppy during his first overnight stay away from home. She was patient, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even though he was a little nervous from being in a new environment, she was incredibly understanding and attentive to his needs. We could tell he was well cared for and had a great time with Natali and Rocko. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

About: Hi, I’m Xinyue, I’m part-time a dog treats baker! I bake fresh dog cookie and cake from scratch. May dream is to open a dog treats store. I have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever. I walk him twice a day and have trained him to sit, lie down, stay, fetch the ball, come back, and follow several other commands. He is well-trained. I also bake fresh homemade dog treats for him. If your pet stays with us, I will treat them like family too! Weihai works from home all day, he will be home with dogs all the time, Xinyue that’s me I usually walk the dog in the morning and play with him in the yard after I get home. I have shorter work hours during the summer, so I’ll be home often to take care of them. I’m also usually available on weekends and love taking dogs on hikes, to the park, or to the beach. We have a fenced yard and a 4-year-Golden Retriever named Igo, who is super friendly with both dogs and people. There’s also a dog door that leads to the yard. If your dog stays with Igo and us, they’ll be welcome to cuddle on the couch or relax in the yard—whatever they prefer! But I’ll never leave the dog along in the yard.
“Amanda was very professional and had great communication regarding our dog Tbone. Our dog can be a handful at times and she was accommodating with her needs and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. The fenced in back yard was an enormous plus and by the time we got home, it was clear she was tuckered out. I’d highly recommend Amanda for your dog needs!”
“Caroline was an excellent dogsitter for our dog Charlie! She sent lots of pics and updates which made us feel so relived. She took him in several walks and took care of all of his needs. So grateful for Caroline, can’t wait for Charlie’s next stay!”
“Courtney took amazing care of my puppy, Mocha! She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup with her and will definitely book again.”

Lauren accepted my last minute request to provide day care for my 8 month old French bulldog puppy and was an amazing caregiver! She followed all of my care instructions for my pup. She quickly responded to my messages and questions. Her pricing was fair and affordable when comparing other rates in the area. I look forward to booking with Lauren again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Hathorne on Rover is $61.05 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 Hathorne 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 2,779 sitters in Hathorne, 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.
