About: Hi there! I’m a certified therapy dog handler with over 13 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. My lifelong passion for animals began when I was a little girl, and it’s grown into a fulfilling career centered on compassion, connection, and trust. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare known as Paws of Greenwich, volunteered with Adopt-A-Dog, and have hands-on experience with basic training—especially with rescue dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. Having cared for three amazing dogs of my own (two of them rescues), I know how important it is to find someone who treats your pup like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship, your dog will always feel safe, loved, and cared for in my hands. 🐾 I’m currently a full-time dog sitter, dedicated to providing the highest level of care, attention, and love for your pets. Whether your pup enjoys outdoor adventures or cozy days at home, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. From scenic hikes and fun outings to quality playtime and cuddles, your dog will always feel happy, safe, and loved. Meet-and-greet fees: $25–$30 I will always follow any specific guidelines you have for your pet to ensure their routine and comfort are maintained. Typically, I take dogs outside at least three to four times a day, unless discussed otherwise or we’ve already enjoyed a long outdoor adventure that day. I’m happy to handle feeding, bathing, and any other needs for only $5-10 on top of the total cost, and will always making sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and endlessly loved.
“Leidy was very easy to work with. Flexible and accommodating. Our dog Kiko seems to have a good time as she is normally anxious of any thing new. We look forward to working with Leidy soon. Thank you very much .”
About: I’m the type of sitter who pays attention to the little things — routines, favorite toys, energy levels, and comfort needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I adapt to what each pet needs. I believe pets do best when they feel safe, loved, and understood, and that’s the environment I strive to provide. Plus, you can expect plenty of updates and photos! Pets fit easily into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to make sure pets get the attention, exercise, care, and consistency they need — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just company and cuddles. I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel happy and comfortable. I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised playtime, walks, feeding on schedule, and a comfortable space to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I respect their pet’s routine, environment, and instructions to help keep things familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, dietary needs, and comfort, and I make sure owners receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: Hi! My name is Claire, and caring for animals has always been one of the biggest parts of my life. I’ve volunteered and worked in animal rescue for years and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m especially experienced with senior pets, anxiety-prone animals, and special-needs dogs, including my own recently adopted blind senior pup. I share my home with three rescue pets (and my boyfriend): • A 3-year-old hound mix • A 5-year-old rescue cat • A blind senior chihuahua mix I work a 9-5 in manhattan, but I have a hybrid work schedule and am available most weekends for pet sitting! I know firsthand how stressful it can feel to trust someone new with your pets. I’ve been there! That’s why I prioritize communication, reliability, and customization. I follow your pet’s routine exactly, respect any rules or preferences you have, and send plenty of photos and videos so you always feel connected and reassured. I’d love the chance to care for your pets and give them the safe, loving experience they deserve. I hope to meet you and your fur babies soon! AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS! ( and most weeknights) I work a hybrid work schedule and am mostly working remote from home so I am available my work from home days as well!! I take my dog on lots of hikes on the local hiking trails, which he loves and can take your dog there too if you want! If you’re more comfortable with them just getting a simple walk around your neighborhood, I’m happy to accommodate that as well!
“Stephanie is a fantastic pet sitter. She took the time to meet Coffee beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood her routine. During our time away she kept us updated, and we came home to a happy, calm dog. Excellent service—would definitely book again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always been a dog lover, I’m just missing a dog of my own! I’m always happy to go for walks, play around, or cuddle on the couch! I currently work from home so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I am able to take breaks throughout the day for walks or feeding. My boyfriend is a medical student with a flexible schedule as well and he loves to go for runs! We have a small fenced in backyard where the dog can run and play. We are very clean, live in a safe neighborhood, and have plenty of space.

Kat has taken such good care of my Josie pup! Josie has been able to cuddle and snuggle, perch on window sills, and explore and sniff to her heart’s content all day. Kat communicates very well and sends lots of sweet photos and updates. I’ll definitely be bringing Josie back to her!
We love Yenis!! I couldn’t have asked for a better day care visit with her! She is so caring and attentive I felt so comfortable knowing she was going to give our 4 month old pup the same amount of love and care that we would! We can’t wait for our next daycare stay with her and Milo!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Northfield on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of July 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 Northfield 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 CT 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.

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.
