“John was awesome with my puppy Blue! Super appreciate how flexible he was. He accepted my booking request the night before my pup’s visit, and was flexible to accommodate my late night pick-up (and the option for Blue to stay the night if needed). The text updates and pictures sent made me feel so much better over Blue’s stay too as it was my first time getting a sitter. Thank you John!”
“Our pup was a very happy boy after spending the day with Sarah! She was incredibly responsive and sent pictures and updates regularly! She made sure Rufus felt right at home and he was clearly very comfortable. He came home tired after a day of playing and walks! Will definitely be asking her to watch him again!”
“Pat was very patient with both Sammy and myself, especially in trying to find his apartment! I had a very stressful day and kept getting confused. Sammy was a rescue with a horrible background and Pat was very careful handling him. Pat took him out for walks several times and Sammy loved being out on his patio! Pat sent several updates and pictures of Sammy during the day. Will be using him every time I go into Philly for my medical appointments.”
“Jake was amazing and went above and beyond what was necessary to make my dog feel comfortable. She had the best day with him, filled with fun activities and lots of love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Christie and Drew are amazing and came so clutch for us when we were stuck in a bind last minute. Now I have a safe place to take my little boy next time we’re out of town!”
“Great with adjusting to my time change. My only thing is doesnt seem that he ate after being told he did. Also, didnt get updates realky throughout the day. Great location”
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 16 years, caring for my beloved papillon, Terri. Through years of caring for my own pet and pet-sitting for friends and family, I understand how nerve-wracking it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and confident while you’re away. I offer long walks up to three times a day—morning, midday, and late afternoon—as well as house-sitting services in the local area. I take the time to learn your pet’s routines, habits, and favorite activities so they can stay happy, relaxed, and well cared for in their familiar environment. You can trust that your furry friend will be treated with the same care and attention I give my own. 🐾 I work remotely and my schedule is pretty flexible during the week and weekends. I typically plan up to three walks each day—morning, midday, and late afternoon. In My Home: I ensure my space is pet-friendly, with designated areas for play and relaxation. I maintain a routine that includes regular feeding times and walks . I also keep fresh water available at all times and monitor for any signs of discomfort or illness. In Clients’ Homes: I follow the specific care instructions provided by the pet owner, which includes feeding schedules, preferred activities, and any medications. I focus on maintaining the pet’s routine to minimize stress. I also provide regular updates to the owner, sharing photos and messages to keep them informed.
“I can’t thank Tim enough for being such a lifesaver and amazing sitter! I had a very last minute need for a sitter over the July 4th weekend while I was working and he stepped up in the biggest way. He walked Coco multiple times a day and gave the most adorable summaries of their day together. Coco sprinted to him immediately after only one day and it was obvious she had a great time despite the terrible 100 degree weather that weekend. I can’t thank him enough and can’t wait for him to sit coco again!”
About: I’ve had a pet in the family since I was about 10. First an iguana, then a canary, a cat, a dog, another dog, and for the first time I don’t have a pet in the house. I love to walk, give pets, I’ve trained two dogs (patiently), and taken care of medical needs for senior dogs. I currently volunteer as a walker at Doggy Style Pets for dogs up for adoption. Currently work from home so plenty of time to play and walk. My day is pretty flexible as well so more than willing to work with busy dog parents. I have a fenced in yard and live near Kelly drive so plenty of places to walk or be outside. As far as sitting at a clients house, as long as I have a place to sit and WiFi I can work from, I can be available to sit in home while respecting your space.
“Despite my last-minute request, Dicia was very helpful and took great care of Sormeh. She was on time, communicative, and provided updates throughout the day. Sormeh seemed happy staying with her, and I will gladly reach out to Dicia again for help in the future.”
“Iliana was really sweet and took great care of my pup. When I picked her up I could see how happy she was and that she had a great time playing with Luna. Would book again! Thank you!”
About: Hi there! My name is Jennifer, and I’m passionate about providing dogs with a home away from home experience. I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, Size, and personalities. Whether your pup loves to play fetch, take long walks, or snuggles on the couch, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I offer a clean, dog friendly home with a fully fenced yard for outdoor fun. Your dog will enjoy plenty of playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention every day. I also send daily updates with photo and videos to keep you connected! I work from home with flexible hours, so your dog will hardly be left alone for long periods. I can also accommodate early drop/offs and late pickup if needed. I treat every pet like family! In my home, they enjoy a safe, clean space with lots of playtime, cuddles, and personalized care. I follow each pet’s usual routine closely, including meals, walks and meds if needed.
“Iyana was great start to finish! She responded promptly to my initial request and was communicative throughout booking. She and her partner were friendly and polite. We got lots of pics of my dog throughout his stay at their home and he came home happy and healthy! Would definitely use Iyana again!”
About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve been caring for animals, big and small, my entire life. I currently have two small (nearly identical) dogs, Frannie and Banana. I work from home so it’s easy for me to give them plenty of walks, pets and love. I have a small backyard and live steps from Norris Square park. I’m the go-to auntie to all of my friends pets :) I am a freelancer who works from home. I have two small dogs who I walk 2-3 times a day plus outside time in our backyard. My schedule is flexible and I live steps from Norris Square park. I have a fenced in backyard with a potty area. Two small dogs who are friendly. I typically have them meet new dogs outside of the home before having them come in to avoid any territorial behavior. My dogs eat 3 small meals a day and we keep treats to a minimum due to Frannie’s sensitive stomach. There are plenty of toys and the dogs are never out of sight.
“Daniel was great, sent me pictures throughout the day, and seemed like my dog Yoda had a great time with him too. I'd definitely book with him again.”
“Rosie had a wonderful day with Kanade. She kept her busy with fun activities and let me know how she was doing all day with adorable videos and pictures! I will definitely use Kanade again soon! ❤️”
“Sharan was wonderful. She took excellent care of Osborne, was very communicative, and made the doggy daycare process easy. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Shakira did such an amazing job with my dog Paris! She sent so many pictures and kept me updated the whole time. You can tell she really loves dogs and it shows in her care.”
“Tim came highly recommended, and now I know why! He was so understanding and patient as I navigated having him care for my senior dog, and he was clearly attentive to her. I will be back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ludlow
Chloe was wonderful with Lily! Lily immediately took to her and was so excited and happy to spend the day with her. Chloe was very attentive to Lily’s needs and kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. When I picked Lily up, she was happy and clearly had a great day. I would definitely recommend Chloe and would be very happy to have her watch Lily again!
I left my dog in Tim’s care for the day to attend a very important event, but was a bit concerned as my dog was clearly a bit off that morning. Tim was understanding, asked all the right questions, and I left assured that my Tim would keep me updated as needed. All went well, and I again appreciated the loving care Tim provided!
My dog and I have had two great sitting experiences with Kiara! Very accommodating with booking and plenty of feedback during the day. Sophia has had a great time hanging out with Kiara and whatever other pups are there with her! Looking forward to booking again.
Lara and her husband were great! We visited just for the day, and needed a safe place for our very senior pup to stay… they were great about booking (we booked less than 2 weeks before our visit), gave updates, took her for a walk and took great care of her. Would definitely recommend!
Very responsive, flexible, and watched our dog Piper on a last minute request. After struggling to find someone for daycare with just a few days notice, Janelle responded quickly and was available immediately for a meet and greet followed by a long day with Piper. Additionally, Piper had a fantastic time and seemed to quickly warm up to Janelle despite struggling with separation anxiety, which was something we were initially worried about. Both Janelle’s enthusiasm for helping us out and her excitement for taking care of Piper made the experience fantastic; not just for our dog, but for us as well!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Ludlow on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of September 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 Ludlow 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 PA 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 2,462 sitters in Ludlow, 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.
