“Cheuck was so great with my dog Annie! I left my dog with Cheuck during the day while I was at work. He shared pictures and kept me updated regularly! I highly recommend Cheuck.”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo were great with Oscar. They were flexible when I needed to shift my drop-off and pickup times, which made my day so much easier. They sent a few photos throughout the day too, which I always love getting. Oscar came home tired and happy, so he clearly had a good time. Would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thanks you two!”
“Cardinal had so much fun at his small-dog play date!! I appreciated that Betsy took time for a thoughtful meet and greet so that I was sure he would feel comfortable!

About: I love taking care of dogs and just hanging out with them. I work full-time onsite so I am only available after or before work hours to take them on walks and for stay over. However my husband works from home who also loves dog to keep them company during the day! I have a full time onsite job so I am not available during the day however my husband works from home so he is available. I love going for walks or runs in the mornings/ evenings before/ after work so I can take your dogs on walks as well. I love playing with them, and can give them a lot of attention. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment without a yard so, I can only take care of small dogs. They have plenty of places to roam around in the apartment. There is also a dog park and a 2.5mile loop near me where i can take them for playtimes and walks.
About: Hi, we're Kavita and Saunak! We love dogs and have a lot of experience with them from helping socialize dogs at a doggy daycare to fostering and now caring for our own two dogs, Mocha and Orbit. We have lots of experience with nervous and anxious dogs as well as dogs that just need to burn some energy. We’ve used Rover for our own dogs too, so we know what it’s like to trust someone else with your pup. We really try to provide the kind of care, communication, and peace of mind we’d want for Mocha and Orbit. Kavita works from home full-time and Saunak has a flexible schedule, so we’re able to give our guests plenty of attention throughout the day. Mocha and Orbit also love having new friends visit, but we have the space to separate dogs when needed. We’re excited to get to know your dog and their routine so we can make their stay as comfortable, fun, and home-like as possible! I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule. This means I can accommodate most schedules and make time for frequent walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day! We live in a residential area with a fenced in yard, so your pup can have frequent outside trips. I also work from home full-time, so your dog is never left unattended. And our two pup love to greet and play with new dogs but they can also be separated if needed.

We have a fenced in backyard for your dog to explore. We have four kids who all love to give attention to dogs. Our two beagles are low energy at this point in their lives.

Cameron is an incredible dog sitter and so easy to work with. I had a few changes to one of my bookings and he was so gracious and flexible. When a flight delay casused several last-minute changes to our booking, he was gracious, flexible and extremely communicative throughout. Tuck loves spending time with Cameron and Rosie, and Cameron is so caring and shares plenty of photos. I can't say enough good things!
Puja was wonderful with Mello! She was kind, reliable, and took such great care of him. She was also very communicative and sent lots of updates throughout his stay, which I really appreciated and made me feel completely at ease. Mello seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him, and we would definitely book with Puja again!
Kate is wonderful. So happy she was available! Kate took great care of Elle and Lexicon! She took them on walks, played ball with them, fed them and sent photos throughout their day together. She even dropped them off in the evening. Use her service—she’s great!!🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Carmen did a great job with Finn! She took him for multiple walks throughout the day and took him to some nice spots. He enjoyed playing with the other dogs she cared for. She was also very responsive and easy to coordinate pickup and drop off with. We will book again when needed!
Ben was great with Pepper! He was able to take care of her on short notice and was very flexible when I needed to change the pickup time from noon to 5 p.m. Pepper came back happy and it definitely looked like she had a great time with him. Really appreciate Ben’s help and flexibility!
Susan was able to watch Max on short notice, responded to me super quickly when I submitted the request, and took wonderful care of Max!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Medford on Rover is $57.72 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 Medford 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 2,911 sitters in Medford, 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.
