About: I grew up around dogs my whole life so I’m used to being around them. I also have had one other dog before and now have a mini dachshund. I’m very comfortable with taking care of dogs and having them in my space. I work a full time job at home, but I’m in control of my own schedule and am very flexible. I’m also available weekends and in the summer, I’m even more flexible. I take my dog out 2-3x a day depending on weather. We go on walk across the street at the park for about 15-20 min and when we are back inside, he is allowed to roam freely. He eats 2x a day with snacks in between and he always has water out. I play with him as much as I can throughout the day to make sure he doesn’t get too bored with his day too! My apartment is always clean to ensure that my pup doesn’t get into anything he isn’t supposed to. Lastly, my apartment building is secure as you need a key fob or someone to buzz you in to enter the building.

“Katrina and her husband were absolutely amazing! They were very communicative and shared regular updates. My dog is very shy, but after just one day, she was licking their faces and clearly loved being close to them. Katrina has a few dogs of her own and is very mindful about introducing the pups to each other. Her dogs are very well behaved and there were no issues with my dog being around them. I highly recommend Katrina and will definitely use her services again soon.”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! Currently I have one small senior little dog in our home today. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around! I 100% work from home and have flexible schedules so that I can play/take your dog/s for a walk throughout the day based on their schedule. I am fully remote and have a flexible schedule. When the weather is nice I tend to work in our backyard so your pets can play outside all they want. Summer months my 4 & 6 year old will be around towards the end of the day and they are balls of energy and love playing with new dog friends. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pets. They would be fed according to your schedule and requirements, and regular photos provided.
“Vanessa was a wonderful sitter for our dog, Finn. My puppy had plenty of playtime and lots of exercise. We appreciated the frequent updates. It was clear that Finn was well taken care of!”


“Sasha was VERY prompt with her responses and was willing to meet our last minute needs! Coco did have an accident while at Sasha's house and she was very understanding and didn't at all seemed bothered by it! I will DEFINITELY be getting in touch with Sasha again when in Orlando!!”

“My Idgy was so excited to spend the day with Amanda and her family. She hopped right out of the truck and ran right into the house when Amanda greeted us at the door. Idgy got lots of playtime with Amanda and her pup. She is an asset to have on Rover.”

About: Hi, I have been an animal lover my whole life and have had the privilege of caring for all kinds of animals. I have had and cared for your everyday pets like cats and dogs and then your not so "normal" pets like a baby skunk, racoon, and squirrel. I love all animals. I have 1 male cat and 1 female cat that are both fixed and up to date with their shots. They are very friendly and get along great with other animals.I have a 14 year old daughter that helps me a lot with feeding and walking our “guests”. I live in an apartment with an unfenced yard in the back. We live close to 3 very beautiful parks. Your pet will be very comfortable here and well cared for. We will treat them like one of our own fur babies. The living room is open for all the pets to sleep in and we have plenty of room for crates if needed. My pets sleep on the couch but there is room for beds and other sleeping materials. My daughter loves to share her bed too, which is mostly where the pups sleep when they’re here. Excellent references available upon request I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m home late afternoon during the week and all day on the weekends. I’m also home on most holidays. I have many repeat clients that love the freedom of being able to enjoy their vacation and feel at ease knowing their pets are cared for by someone that knows them and loves them. I am with the pets for most of the day and while I’m at work I have 2 cameras set up where I can see them at all times and talk to them. I’m open to house sitting but wouldn’t be able to spend all day there just because I have my daughter and my pets at home. But after work I’m able to stop in and handle anything that needed to be done. I’m home by 3:30 during the week and home all day on the weekends. During the summer my daughter is home and helps with bathroom breaks while I’m at work. I have an unfenced yard for the pups to play. We just keep the leashes on while we’re out. I can accommodate any food restrictions and administer oral/syringe medications as needed. I’m also available any time while your pet is staying with me, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Sindy was fantastic with Tyler! They went on several walks, and they spent most of the day outside exploring. He loved every minute of it! I would definitely request Sindy again and highly recommend her.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! Since joining Rover, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for so many wonderful dogs, including several I’ve been lucky enough to care for consistently over the past five years. Building lasting relationships with these pups and their families has been one of the most rewarding parts of being a sitter! My experience ranges from energetic puppies to sweet seniors requiring extra patience and specialized care. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, administering supplements/medications, preparing specialized meals, and accommodating unique dietary needs and routines. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my own dog, Murphy, throughout his battle with cancer. His care involved preparing specialized meals, administering daily supplements, and bringing him to regular vet appointments and to his holistic vet for his acupuncture! That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the patience, compassion, and individualized attention our furry family members deserve. I truly believe dogs are family, and I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. Whether we’re enjoying walks, spending time outdoors, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles, my priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, Rover has allowed me to continue doing something I absolutely love. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, experienced, and dependable hands! ❤️🐾 I currently work from home so I can be extremely flexible with my schedule! I'm also available on weekends, overnights, and longer overnight stays if needed! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I create a warm, welcoming environment and follow each pet’s routine closely to minimize any stress. This includes feeding them on schedule, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, and giving them lots of love and attention! I make sure their space is clean and cozy, and I keep their toys and bedding fresh. For walks or playtime, I ensure they’re getting the right amount of activity based on their needs, whether that’s a long hike, a fun fetch session, or some relaxing cuddle time. I also monitor their health, providing any special care like administering medications, supplements, or preparing special meals if needed. It’s all about making them feel safe, happy, and loved!
About: I've been pet sitting for friends and family for years and love it, so I've made it formal through Rover. I'm reliable, organized, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I have a background working with dogs, cats, small animals, and exotics (frogs, ferrets, birds, hamsters, mice, and more). Red Cross Pet First Aid certified as of 6/13/26. My own cat, Juniper, is part of the household, so I'm practiced at multi-pet dynamics, including with both cats and dogs. I have a large fenced yard and flexible space to accommodate different comfort levels between animals. Pet sitting fits naturally into my life. I work full-time but I'm selective about bookings and plan in advance. I typically board one family at a time and keep concurrent bookings minimal (2 pets max) so I can give full attention. I have a standing commitment Wednesday evenings in the Fall and Spring for only a couple hours and work around it when needed. Saturdays vary week to week, and I'm flexible about drop-in visits around my schedule, but will confirm with pet parents in advance. The key is advance planning. I ask for at least a week's notice whenever possible so both of us can prepare. I turn down bookings if there's a genuine conflict that week rather than overcommit. In my home (boarding): I have a large fenced yard, climate-controlled space, and the ability to section off areas if animals need separation for comfort. My own cat, Juniper, is here, so I manage multi-pet dynamics carefully. I watch for stress signals and adjust setup as needed. Routines are consistent (feeding times, potty breaks, exercise), and I monitor behavior closely for anything unusual. I'll provide updates and photos to set your mind at ease while you're away from your pet. In your home (drop-ins): I'll follow your instructions—feeding schedules, medication, play preferences, access restrictions. I'll check in, take photos/notes for updates, and flag any concerns immediately. Always: Red Cross Pet First Aid certified. If something feels off such as a behavior change, health concern, stress, I share as soon as I notice. As a pet owner myself, I treat you and your pet like I'd want someone treating me and mine.
“Jo was absolutely amazing, she truly was my fairy godmother today when I found myself in a tight spot. I can’t thank her enough for her kindness, generosity, and the time she spent. Dobby had the best time with her, Coco, and Kiki, and he’s already looking forward to their next playdate. We couldn’t recommend Jo more highly!”

“We brought our 4.5 m/o puppy to Krystyna and Sara for his first doggy day care. He was nervous when we left him, but when we came to pick him up he didn’t want to leave! They were great about sending us updates about his naps and videos of him playing with the other dogs. Really helped assuage our anxiety of him being stressed when left in the care of someone else. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!”

“Julie was great. Offered a quick meetup to get Betsy Lou acquainted which was perfect. The next day, Betsy Lou went right up to her tail wagging. I was very comfortable leaving her with Julie. Everything in was smooth and easy, and most of all my dog loved Julie and her family!”

“Fantastic experience with Xiaofan! She provided a welcoming environment, great communication, and a perfect yard for Jasper to enjoy. Highly recommend her for anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.”


About: Caring for animals has always been at the heart of my home and my life. I share my space with a senior dog and two cats, all of whom are treated as cherished family members. My dog is a rescue I welcomed at 2 years old—she initially struggled with anxiety and trust, but through patience, compassion, self-education, and consistent training, she has grown into an incredibly gentle and loving companion. I also opened my home to my older cat after she was abandoned and had the joy of raising her kitten, who is now my second cat. They are both calm, affectionate, and bring so much warmth into my home. Beyond my own pets, I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years. Since my teenage years, I’ve provided boarding and drop-in care for dogs and cats belonging to friends and family, as well as helping care for stray cats in my community. These experiences have shaped my approach to pet care—I am attentive, dependable, and committed to going above and beyond. From maintaining a safe, comforting environment to providing thoughtful, well-balanced meals, every detail matters. Each pet in my care is treated with the same kindness, respect, and dedication I give my own, because I truly believe they are family. 🦮🍽️ For Drop-Ins & Walks— I am Available Monday–Saturday from 7:00–10:30 AM and 8:00–9:00 PM. Some Thursdays/Saturdays + all Sundays are flexible based on your needs. ☀️🏡For Doggy Day Care— hours of care range from 6am-6pm including pick-up/drop-off time. 🌙🏠For Boarding (In-Home Care)— as a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and available 7 days a week for boarding. Feedings can be provided 2–4 times daily depending on your pet’s routine. Walks + playtime typically take place between 7:00–10:00 AM, with additional engagement throughout the day. Dogs are let out every 3–4 hours for bathroom breaks to ensure comfort and consistency. I’m happy to adjust routines to match your pet’s specific needs and schedule. Your pet(s) safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, welcoming home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a quiet, dog-friendly neighbourhood perfect for walks. Do you have a dog that isn’t so keen on canine companionship? Not to worry! We provide a split yard, and my dog is good at respecting boundaries if another dog isn’t interested in interactions. This is a kennel-free home, however we do have a kennel indoor if that is a part of your pet(s) safety routine. Other than that I provide a dog bed or if your dog is a snuggler, they are welcome to sleep on the bed with me. My senior dog is gentle and playful, offering a calm companionship to your fur baby. My cats keep to themselves and if needed, I can always separate pets who aren’t comfortable with one another. I have a separate litter box for your cat(s) to use that is kept in another area of the home to prevent any territory conflict. Overall, I create a structured, supervised environment where every pet feels safe, relaxed, and right at home.

“Carol has been great with our dog - a 9 yo rescue who has a lot of trust and anxiety issues. She takes great care of Izzy, takes her on adventures and has great facilities to keep the dogs safe in her fenced in backyard. Appreciate knowing that Izzy will have a good time every day and that she comes home exhausted each day. A tired dog is a good dog. :)”

I highly recommend Katrina and will definitely use her services again soon.

Lupa had a great time with Jing and her family!! I received pictures of him and updates during his stay and I felt at ease knowing he is having a great time playing with his doggy friends and being taken great care of. I will definitely book again when I need a sitter for him!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lawrence
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Lawrence is $37 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 2,725 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lawrence. 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 Lawrence 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 2,725 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MA. 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
