âDeeAnna is absolutely amazing with my two pups! From the moment we met, I could tell ahead she genuinely cared and had a great energy with my dogs. She sends regular updates, photos, and always makes sure both pups are happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they are in loving, responsible hands. My dogs come home relaxed and clearly well-loved â always the best sign! Iâm so grateful for the extra care and attention DeeAnna gives them. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and communicative. Weâll definitely be booking again! đśđâ
âStella had a great time playing with the other dogs there in the large fenced yard. Janelle and Travis were very nice and were able to help us on short notice. We will keep them on our short list for dog sitting needs.â
âWonderful sitters. They really worked at understanding and respecting Deja's sweet and spicy personality. Deja had a great time and I felt very comfortable leaving her in their care.â
âMarshel was amazing! Took incredible care of our pup. Would highly recommend. She was able to be flexible and work with our ever changing schedule. Couldnât ask for anybody better!â
âKathy and her family took great care of our little dog with a big personality! Major Tom is a rescue who generally has a lot of separation anxiety, but he was happy and relaxed in Kathy's home. My husband and I are SO relieved to find this family so we can enjoy our time away without being preoccupied worrying about our little buddy.â
âAshley and her husband were awesome. My other Rover had cancelled on me and she accepted a very last minute request. She was responsive and sent updates throughout the day. Would totally book again in the future!â
âMarlene is someone I trust to take good care of my dog. She took care of my sweet Potato for three days and he came home happy and tired from all the play with other dogs. It is nice to know he is in good hands with Marlene.â
âKrysten is the best! We feel so safe leaving our Lucy with her. Krysten is very prompt, extremely responsive, and very friendly. We've used her to walk and board Lucy over the last few months and have no complaints.â
About: Iâve taken care of many types of dogs and cats from pugs, to raising my 4 year old English cream golden retriever from 2 months to now, to a Bernese mountain dog! Friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets when I am away and Iâm all for it! Let me know how I can best serve you and your furry family members! Iâm currently attending Yaleâs PA program. Most days vary depending on the schedule but I am available for potty breaks. During the evening I will be home and available. Weekends I love to spend outside and would be more than happy to take your pet along! Message me with questions! I have quite a bit of skill with a range of dogs and have learned quite a bit with my golden from puppy age to now (who is rambunctious as you can imagine!) I care for other peoples pets as I would my own.
About: I am from a family of dog lovers and dog rescuers! I have grown up with mostly big doggies, but have often times taken care of my friends'/neighbors' little pups too. There isn't a day, where I won't stop and just chit chat with a pup, that merely walks by me! I also owned a pet-sitting and house-sitting business, for 23 years, so I have helped care for some doggies, their entire lives. I love them all so much! I'm currently unemployed, but have a company that I can run from anywhere. I have great flexibility and time to play with your fur babe!
âGoose had a GREAT time with Elena and Klemheist. He came home a happy and sleepy puppy. Elena helped me out last minute after my previous sitter had to cancel and I could not be more thankful. Iâll definitely be using Elena next time I need doggy daycare or boarding for Goose.â
âLana is great with our Lily. Now that we've been going back regularly, Lily gets so excited to get out of the car when we pull up and she greets Lana and her family with gusto. Definitely recommend her day care and boarding services. â¤ď¸â
âAlona was amazing taking care of Coya, my chocolate lab! She is a great communicator, very kind and friendly, and followed my instructions about Coyaâs care very carefully. Alona kept in touch with me during the day, sending me photos and updates. I highly recommend her!â

DeeAnna was wonderful with our Teddy Boi. She was mindful of his hip dysplasia, ensuring Teddy could safely walk up and down the stairs in their backyard. She supervised play with her adorable pup, took Teddy for a walk, and even introduced a challenging new puzzle that kept him busy and engaged. Teddy came home happy and exhausted. Bonus for sharing pics while we were away. Highly recommend her services. We will definitely be using DeeAnna in the future.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Machias
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Machias on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,893 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Machias. 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 petâwhether thatâs early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Machias commute.
If your schedule changes, itâs 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 dogâs 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 0â7 kilograms and/or 7â18 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 pupâs 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 dogâs pack, check the sitterâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs care.
Many sitters in WA 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, youâre 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 2,893 sitters in Machias, 88% 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.
