“Destinee and her family always take amazing care of our little girl Xena and they are always very understanding of my schedule! Xena absolutely LOVES going for daycare and she is always so excited to see them when I drop her off!”
“This is the first time I dropped my pups off and didn’t cry and worry about them all day! Mary is just amazing.... my fur babies had such a great time and are excited to go back!”
“Another great day of daycare with Miss Lauren! She is so sweet to Brody and Jethro when they need to spend a day with her, and she's a pro at managing their different personalities while making sure every dog gets love and attention. Couldn't have left them with anyone else!!”
“Let me first say, I was a little skeptical about using Jackson. But once I met him, some of those worries washed away. I still worried, but throughout the day Jackson communicated and sent photos and my worries washed away. Jackson is the ultimate professional and Milo was extremely happy and pooped when we picked him up. Finding out Jackson offers other services, and I think we have found our new EVERYTHING. I'm already reaching out for a booking tomorrow.”
“Oh my gosh, my pup was exhausted when he got home! Ramsey has never been away from us since we got him in April, and Clint said he did great plus mad friends! We will be setting our boy up for weekly visits!”
“We love taking our dogs to Nichole's house! Our dogs are never stressed when we pick them up, they look like they are enjoying themselves when they send pictures. They are super nice and personable. I love that she is very detailed orieywhen it comes to our pets. She noticed an area on my dog's leg that I had been treating before I could even say anything to her?”
“Kingsley had so much fun and slept for a very long time once she got home! Shelby was amazing with her, had great communication, and provided pictures. Kingsley can’t wait until her next visit!”
About: Hi there! My name is Stacy and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had several rescue dogs. I'm the first call for anyone I know who needs a dog sitter or walker. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Allow me to meet yall and lets play fetch! A move in ready kennel is available if needed. I'm located conveniently near the airport, 465, and 70 for easy drop off and pick-up! I work from home full time. I'm a total home body so staying home with dogs is a dream for me. I have a fully fenced backyard. I also have a 4 years old dog and son ready to play at all times! Dogs are family members so they are allowed on furniture and beds. I have a fully fenced yard and love to take walks daily. I am very happy to drop by for walks , potty breaks, and pets. My son excels at giving pets and love!
“Pete comes how tired so I know he had a good time. Hey we're able to take Pete with only a days notice which I appreciate...but I usually try to plan ahead. I know Pete enjoys the big yard and lots to explore. And it is always a bonus when he is able to take a nap because he is often too excited to do so. Super easy to work with!”
“Deborah and Jeffrey are warm and they genuinely love dogs. I’ve booked doggy day care with them for my dog several times now. They’re very good at communication and taking care of my fur baby as their own. I highly recommend them!”
“Tosha was so wonderful with our dog! I would absolutely book her again. Very friendly and accommodating and took pictures throughout our dog’s stay. Highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. That experience helped me become comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and companionship. I love getting outside for walks around downtown Indianapolis and enjoy having a four-legged friend join me. I know every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine and preferences. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or out on a walk, I prioritize safety and I’ll keep you updated with photos along the way.
“Richard was amazing. We had just moved to the area and he accommodated us last minute. After a quick meet and greet the day before I dropped the pup off and she had a blast! Richard was great about sending photos and updates. Would highly recommend.”
“Jaclyn is the BEST! I was so nervous to leave my puppy with someone but he comes home with the biggest smile and I know he was well taken care of :) I can tell he plays hard over there with her dogs! Nothing but great things to say ❤️”
About: I've moved! If you've booked with me before, please double check my new address! I've had a lifelong fascination with animals and zoology that led me to learning as much as I could about animals. I've been particularly fond of canines, leading me to become a certified dog behaviorist in 2020. I've had 2 dogs of my own, both mid sized mixed breeds, and helped take care of family and friends pets, dogs as small as chihuahuas and large as rotties. I'm self employed and work from home. I'm very flexible and can adjust to specific feeding or medicine times, and can keep near constant supervision if need be. I feel strongly about pets being treated with kindness and patience. I enjoy cuddling and playing games with them. I'll be happy to adjust to the pets individual needs and owner requests.
“Roscoe and Kara had a blast with Sheila! I was looking for a day care option that gave them more one on one attention and I have to say, the pups are tired! Thank you!”
“Emily was our first Rover experience! We were so pleased with her level of communication. She took great care of our pups and entertained them while we went to a basketball game. They were both happy and calm when we returned. We’d use Emily again without hesitation. Thanks for helping our stay in Indianapolis go so smoothly! Now, only if the Fever had won!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 578 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Needham. 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 Needham 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 IN 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 578 sitters in Needham, 84% 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.
