Mirellys took wonderful care of Rosa and went above and beyond to make sure Rosa was comfortable during her stay. Mirellys also kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. I'd definitely use her again in the future.

Jade watched my two pups with very different needs (one is small, 15 years old; the other is 1.5 yo husky mix) for the day as we were going through town on a road trip. We needed somewhere for the pups to be while we did a non-dog friendly day. Jade was super responsive and accommodating. The dogs happily walked off with her without any hesitation (I trust them to read the situation). She asked good questions about their care, entertained the pup during the day by introducing her to a doggy walking pad inside since it was extremely hot out. She also quickly and easily accommodated an earlier pick up when we finished up early. While we aren’t local to use her again, I would do it if the need arises. Much better than a kennel! Pups were happy when we picked up.

About: I’ve been a loving and devoted dog owner since I was ten. I’ve raised both small and large breed dogs from puppyhood. In addition, I’ve been a foster mom to many dogs of various ages and breeds through Great Dog Rescue. I enjoy getting outdoors, rain or shine, walking and playing with these wonderful animals. My dogs get are doted on with lots of cuddles and attention. I currently have a very friendly Bernese Mountain dog who gets along well with other dogs. I am available full-time to care for your fur baby. I could offer daily exercise and plenty of individual attention to your pup at my home or yours. I have a house with a big yard on a quiet cul-de-sac. Either in your home or mine, I would take your dog out on a leash to make sure it stays safe. Having hosted many rescue dogs, I know how to care for nervous animals and they have thrived under my care.

Ana Maria did a great job caring for my dog. She gave her extra attention, as my pup was having separation anxiety following a recent move. Ana has a calm nurturing way about her, and it's apparent she loves dogs. I will definitely use her services again!

Fae and Joseph have watched Patton a few times now while we host large get togethers at our house, they are very friendly, respond promptly and have a nice clean yard for Pat to run around and have fun in. They also send videos and pictures of him playing which is great for peace of mind. I really wouldn't want anyone else to take care of our furry friend and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of someone to care for their pet.

About: I treat every animal exactly as if they were my own. With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, my background is deeply rooted in animal welfare. Growing up in Maryland, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, interned with an equine veterinary clinic, and served as a volunteer and instructor in equine therapy. I came to Boston for college and have resided here ever since! I am still an avid equestrian today, and this lifelong dedication to animals has shaped my approach to pet care: I am incredibly detail-oriented, highly observant, and bring infinite patience to every animal's unique needs. I grew up surrounded by large dogs—including three wonderful Labradors—as well as multiple cats. Recently, my husband, Johnny, and I moved to Marblehead, where we share our home with our two sweet cats, Ozzy and Willis. What to Expect When You Book With Me: Constant Companionship: As a working professional in the consulting industry who is fully remote, my flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable supervision. I ensure your pets receive lots of daytime companionship and are never left alone for more than 4-5 hours a day. Tailored Attention: Family and friends have always relied on me for meticulous care. I make it a priority to learn everything about your pet's routine, quirks, and needs to ensure they are happy and safe. Professional & Insured: As an established, fully independently insured pet care professional, I am always happy to discuss flexible care and scheduling arrangements that work best for your family. Reliability & Safety: I have my own reliable vehicle, allowing for complete flexibility with visits and peace of mind in the unlikely event of an emergency. Meet & Greets: Finding the right match is important! I am always happy to schedule a virtual or in-person meet-and-greet to ensure we are a mutual fit. Please note: For house sitting, I currently accept booking requests a maximum of 3 months in advance. Thank you for understanding! I work fully remote from my home. For house sitting, I use your house as a homebase to make your pet feel comfortable and used to their normal routine. I am able to drop in, house sit, and walk your furry friend, feed and play with your dog or cat, and everything in between (and of course take many pictures!)

We are so happy we found Liza to watch our Shih Tzu Pluto. Pluto is 1 year old and has lots of energy which can be a lot to handle while working from home. We also want him to socialize and Scottie has been a great little friend for him. We tried daycare before and it was a bit overwhelming for Pluto. The small group play he gets with Liza works well from him and he gets lots of attention, walks and play. Thanks for sending plenty of pictures and keeping us posted on Pluto’s stay Liza!

Jennifer was amazing. She was so kind, took such care of my girl, and kept me updated with photos. We came from out of town, and it was so freeing to be able to explore Salem and know that my girl was being cared for so well. She also gave great local tips on shops to visit and places to eat. I wish I had Jennifer in every state we visit.

Crystal did a wonderful job taking care of our two Australian shepherds, Aspen and Mordi. The boys were pooped by the time they got back and seemed like they had an absolute blast. Our one boy has epilepsy and needed to be pilled during their stay which occured flawlessly. We come to the area yearly and will be using Crystal again!

About: I love being surrounded by animals and have been around pets my entire life. For a long time now, I’ve been rescuing lost dogs and helping them find safe, loving homes. Currently, I have three dogs and a cat at my country house, as well as a 10-year-old senior dog at home. One of my dogs in the countryside is partially blind, and I'm the one who takes care of his special needs. This has given me great hands-on experience with senior and special-needs pet care. Spanish is my native language, and my home is fully bilingual! My kids are completely fluent in English and are always here to help with communication for all booking details and updates. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I am at home all day. My daily life revolves around taking care of my dog, maintaining our home, and waiting for my husband and children to return from work and school. Currently, my daughter is starting college this August, so I am looking for extra income to help pay for her tuition. This work is a perfect match for me because it naturally aligns with my everyday schedule, allowing me to give visiting pets full-time attention, love, and constant companionship. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I spend my entire day at home, your pet will have constant presence and attention, a safe outdoor space, quiet walks and specialized care experience.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Manchester-by-the-Sea

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 2,558 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Manchester-by-the-Sea. 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 Manchester-by-the-Sea 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 2,558 sitters in Manchester-by-the-Sea, 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.
