About: I have had dogs almost my entire life. I have been pet sitting on dog vacay and rover for the last several years , before my dog Dora passed away two years when she was 14 years of age. I stopped pet sitting , and was grieving for a while. I am now ready to get back to dog sitting , and want to experience joy of pets again, even if on a temporary basis. I have two children , 8 and 4, and they have been exposed to dogs and cats until recently . We want to have a chance to play with doggies again, and love them! At the moment I am unemployed, and home with my 4 year old. A dog would easily fit in our daily routine, as the dog parents require. I live in a condo association, on the third floor. I do not have a yard, but I will be able to walk your doggie.

About: Hi! I’ve always had pets. I’m 28 and live in a house with one of my best friends. She loves dogs/cats too, so we love having them keep us company while boarding. My work schedule is flexible so I am able to spend a good bit of time at home with any pet staying. I’ve been using Rover to meet new animals as I am not able to have my own (moving in the next year). I’ve had cats, dogs, chickens, parakeets, and hamsters growing up! I’d love to help and care for anyone’s pet. I’m currently working pretty freelance and part time. I’m able to be around frequently to take any dogs on walks and have plenty of space for cats. I’d love to have a companion to look after while I’m home more than usual. We have a small backyard, but my neighborhood is safe and perfect for walking. We can block off any part of the home you feel uncomfortable with, but it is pet safe and almost all one floor.

“Banapsha and Sid were so wonderful with me and Zephyr. I had a last minute request for daycare and they were willing to take us on short notice.. They really went the extra mile to make sure my pup was well taken care of. Banapsha was so kind to keep me updated every few hours with pictures and updates of Zeph. Zeph looked like he had a blast the entire time playing ball and tug. I'm definitely a bit of a helicopter mom when it comes to my pup and Banapsha was up to do a meet and greet beforehand so as to put me at ease since this was our first time together. She asked tons of questions and really took the time to take note of my pups quirks. I could really tell how much she absolutely loved pups and how well Zeph took to her when we met. So so grateful to have found someone I can trust to take care of my pup when I'm away. Ill definitely be back again soon!!!!”

About: I've spent my entire life around pets and shared seven wonderful years with my golden retriever before she passed. Because I've always had animals in my home, I completely understand how hard it is to leave them with someone new. Even without a backyard, we stayed active with daily neighborhood walks and trips to local dog parks, and my home is fully stocked with toys to keep pets entertained. You can count on me to treat your furry family member like my own, send you frequent updates, and strictly follow all of your care routines. I work 9-5 on the weekdays but have plenty of flexibility to ensure your pet is taken care of both inside and outside. I will spend time with and provide constant attention to your pet, with additional stimulation given by my own dog. I have a spacious, smoke-free apartment where my 5-year-old Golden Retriever enjoys roaming. Your dog would be walked on leash and taken out multiple times throughout the day for pee and play. My home is a safe environment with visibility to ensure your pet is in good hands.

About: I have petsat: DOG section: 1) a medium sized 50 lb hound mix dog for a month at a time every year for 13 years (over the course of its life time from when she was a puppy to death) whose personality was very energetic and anxious. It needed a lot of exercise everyday, stimulated play, and long walks which I happily enjoyed! But she also needed to be watched carefully to ensure she didn’t scare anybody by playfully jumping on them. She would tug a lot during walks and would get excited seeing other dogs but I’ve always managed to calmly steer her away if aggression showed or if the other person or dog she was meeting showed signs of being uncomfortable. This dog always stayed at my place when I babysat her. Made sure she was fed on time twice a day and provided fresh water everyday. 2) a large 50 lb, 2 year old, Old English Sheepdog (named Cura). House-sat & dog-sat Cura for 10 days in Los Angeles, CA. Highly energetic who needed a lot of exercise everyday. Very obedient and could be taken off leash. But I always establish a level of trust and learn the dog’s mannerisms before taking them off leash in the park or around the apartment/house block. Cura also had a tendency to be scared of aggressive dogs or loud noises so I always maintained a level of reassurance and safety with her. Also had to be aware of the high temperatures in LA (given the summer time), hence I’d walk her early in the morning and late at night. 3) a 5 yr old, 25 lb, hound whippet mixed dog named Phoebe - house sat and babysat her for 12 days. Highly anxious who needed to be administered an anxiety pill every morning and needed constant attention and long walks. 4) A small 5 year old mixed poodle (named Cappy) in San Francisco who loved to cuddle! Took him out for walks twice a day, made sure he had food & water, and kept him company for 10 days while house-sitting. 5) Dog walked a 65 lb, 2 yr old Doberman Pinscher (Kilo) in San Francisco that was very sweet & very vocal but was very eager & loved to pull. If we encountered anyone on our walks that wanted to say hello, I would make sure they were okay with getting close to a Doberman. I never allowed Kilo to get close to anyone or jump on anyone / their dogs without their consent. 6) House sat / pet sat a 5 yr old, 20 lb Cavalier King Charles Spaniel & Miniature Poodle (Cali). Sweet pup that loved to go on walks, play, and cuddle on the couch. 7) House sat for 6 days for 2 dogs - 6 yr old, 40 lb Australian Cattle mixed dog (Jester) and a 2 yr old, 17 lb Korean Jindo (Quincy). 8) House sat a 6 yr old, 55 lb Boxer, Pitbull, Catahoula Cur (Appa) for 2 nights in Boston. Also dropped in to dog walk him on several separate occasions. - DOG & CAT section: 9) an energetic 8 year old pomsky and an 18 yr old cat for 10 days. House-sat the owner’s place the entire time where I had to walk the dog 4 times every day at a set schedule and feed them both & provide medication to the cat at set times. The Pomsky was very energetic so also took the time during the afternoon to play with her when she had the zoomies. And have the cat tummy rubs and butt scratches whenever she requested it. 10) House sat a 13 yr old Shih Tzu (Neo) and a 18 yr old Siamese cat (Timothy). Neo needed medication on a daily basis while Timothy needed 3 different types of medication (one administrated via the ear, and the other 2 orally). Neo needed 3 walks a day and Timothy needed to be fed several times throughout the day (10 small meals at least a day). Both had stubborn personalities but were still very sweet and playful. When they were stubborn, I would be patient and give them time to calm down and then gently but sternly guide them. For example, Neo was stubborn on his walks and I would have to gently guide him to a certain direction; while Timothy was stubborn in refusing to take his 3 medications so I had to be gentle but firm in making sure he consumed his pills and received his ear meds. - CAT section: 11) two cats at a month at a time for the past 5 years. Stayed at the owner’s place every time. Had to be fed at certain times twice a day, gave them treats throughout the day and attention whenever they requested it. Sometimes I would initiate the contact but if the cats weren’t feeling it, they would communicate it and I would stop. They were indoor cats so I also made sure that any windows that were open were secure and they couldn’t slip through. Had no issues of escaped cats. 12) Three different cats from 3 different owners in San Francisco (Uno, Missy Elliot, and Fran). Took the time to get to know each of them and played with them / gave them company while cleaning out their litter box, refreshing their water bowls, and making sure they had food. Also planned my schedule so that I could travel between the places efficiently and was in communication with the owners at all times and they knew about my schedule. Made sure I gave them space and time to get to know me and I got to know their personalities. 13) 2 cats (Jackie & Cannoli) in New York for 18 days, plus house-sat. One was affectionate and loved to cuddle all the time, the other was more cautious and was very talkative. 14) House sat / pet sat for 2 cats in Waltham (Thea & Orion) on 3 different occasions (4 nights, 2 nights, and 2.5 weeks). Cleaned out litter box every day, fed them twice a day, cleaned up any fur ball throw ups, played with them every day, and gave them lots of attention & head/chin scratches. 15) Pet sat a 13 year old, 14 lb cat in Newton (Maxwell) for 9 days. 16) Pet sat a 5 year old, 14 lb cat in Waltham (Carl) for 5 days. 17) Hamsters - babysat them for a week at a time for friends whenever they went out of town. Fed and cleaned the box. Would occasionally bring it out of its cage to let it roam around the room in its ball. 18) I have my own pet - a red eared slider turtle who I claim to be my aquatic dog 😉. He is 18 years old and I got him when he was just the size of a quarter. But he gets excited to see me whenever I enter the room and will follow me in the apartment when I let him out to walk around. He can also recognize me out of a group of people! 19) I have a ton of plants that I have grown in the past 6 years - huge monstera (from a 1 foot baby to now a 7 ft giant with 30 inch wide leaves), verraccusum, constellation monstera, cacti, pothos, glorosium, etc. I’m currently unemployed (taking a hiatus from being an accountant in the corporate world) so I have all the time to take care of your pet(s). Available anytime to feed, walk, play, and assist in providing medication. I have a pet turtle that I’ve had for 18 years that I have by a sunny window. But every other day, I’ll let him out in the apartment to walk around and explore (but he will often just follow me around😊). I currently live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs or cats so over the last few years, I’ve always taken care of pets at the owner’s place. Either living at their place or coming to their place at set times to feed and/or walk their pets.

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.

“Teddy lover staying with Lauren for day care! I will definitely be using her again on a regular basis for my long shifts. She always responded so quickly and had pictures of Teddy just hanging out or on their walks. I love that she is close to a park so Teddy can walk around some green space and not always on the busy hot city sidewalks. Thanks Lauren!”

I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Nonantum

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Nonantum is $39 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $82 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,047 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Nonantum. 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 Nonantum 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.

As of November 2026, there are 3,047 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,047 sitters in Nonantum, 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
