“Andrea has been lovely to work with, my dog Kiko has really enjoyed daycare with her and is always happy when I pick him up. She is very reliable and communicative and has made our first Rover experience a very good one. I will definitely continue to come to Andrea when Kiko needs a sitter!”
“Yulia and her family are caring and considerate. Sheila, their 8 year old corgie was very cute and friendly too! Peppercorn loved staying with her and playing with her elementary school aged children.”
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”
About: Since coming to college, I’ve started volunteering at the Humane Society where I’ve been day-fostering! Love dog sitting/walking for friends and neighbors. Would be more than happy to take care of your pups :) I’m a college Senior with a light course load this semester and plenty of free time, especially on weekends. My schedule is normally pretty consistent with classes from 12-2pm. Outside of those hours I’m very flexible! I have no pets at my home and have the energy to entertain your pet (no matter how energetic they are). I’m a safety-first kind of person and big on communicating any areas of uncertainty!
“Elizabeth and Neil have been great with my dog Teddy. They have a great home and fenced-in back yard for Teddy to play in. I can tell that Teddy loves them and in comfortable with them. From my first meeting with Elizabeth and Neil, I knew that their Doggy Day Care was going to work out well for Teddy and me. They are very responsive to my texts and answered all of my questions with kindness. Teddy and I look forward to seeing them next week! Glenn”
“Belinda was amazing with Juno and helped out while I was at work for a work trip! Juno had a great time and it was amazing knowing Juno was in great care! Thank you so much!”
“My pup had the best time ever in the yard, chilling in the house, and befriending Betsy’s sweet dog. I even got a photo during the day. :-) Looking forward to her next stay!”
“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”
“She took wonderful care of my pup with outstanding care and love. She took him on multiple walks and play sessions and sent me a ton of photos. Don’t hesitate to book!🥰”
“We appreciated Paul’s help with a last minute request to watch our pup for two days over MLK weekend. He was patient with Gracie, as she was getting used to being in a new person’s house.”
“Yi W. Was very responsive and took great care of Duke. She was also very open to my guidance about Duke’s needs and routine. She sent regular updates and photos. I recommend her and will take Duke back to her.”
“She is an amazing sitter! She gave frequent updates throughout the day, and really appreciated that she went above and beyond by sending a lot of pictures. Also, I really appreciate her flexibility. If you’re in Boston, highly recommend her as your pet sitter. Go Greta (and Juniper)! 🫶✨”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years. I previously owned and cared for my own family dog for over five years, which taught me the responsibility, patience, and attention dogs need to feel comfortable and secure. I provide a safe, clean, family-oriented home where every dog receives individual attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. My home has a large front yard and backyard that offer plenty of outdoor space for supervised play and fresh air. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I do my best to make each stay comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I welcome friendly, house-trained dogs and provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. I currently have a flexible schedule throughout the week, especially during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and drop-in visits. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to following each pet's routine and individual needs. I’m happy to work with pet owners to provide care that fits their schedules and gives them peace of mind while they’re away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and house rules. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure every pet is supervised, comfortable, and cared for in a calm, clean, and positive environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and have peace of mind while they're away.
“I recently moved to MA from out of state with my male pup, and connected with Kayla for daycare service. Kayla is experienced in providing care for pets. During my pup’s stay, she was accommodating and took such great care of my pup. She even gave him 2 doggie chew sticks, and he was so excited to take those home with him! ☺️ 🥹 Kayla is the best!”
“Indrajeet accepted our reservation at the last minute, which ended up being wonderful luck for us. What a kind and caring dog sitter. Monk and LouLou were immediately at ease. Fear not and book now. A wonderful experience!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington
Jingjing and family were all very kind and thoughtful. Remy had a couple of accidents during daycare (he’s recently started marking and sometimes goes a bit overboard) and these were met with absolute understanding and grace. He had a good time playing with another dog they were watching and seems to have enjoyed his day overall!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lexington on Rover is $59.94 per day (as of August 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 Lexington 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 3,038 sitters in Lexington, 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.
