“Iliandra was fantastic. She sent me updates throughout the day and my puppy was actually smiling. I forgot to pack his food and she cooked chicken for him. Above and beyond service. Thank you!”

About: This home has 2 friendly dogs and 1 wonderful cat. Very pet friendly. I have 5 children and I also take care of my elderly Father in Law. I am experienced in puppies also as my 2 dogs has had 2 litters already which we found wonderful caring homes for. 🥰😍 I work from home. I also take care of my elderly disabled Father in Law.

About: My partner and I have been caring for animals from bunnies to horses for our entire lives. Friends and family have relied and continue to rely on us to walk, feed, and board their pets. We do this because we love the companionship pups! Pets will be carefully looked after by my partner and I. They’ll be preoccupied daily with loads of activities! Parents are welcome to pictures/videos while they’re away. Your pets will have access to food/water, furniture, toys, undivided attention and unconditional love! Our dogs start the day by zooming and playing in our fully fenced in yard. Throughout the day we practice commands and do various activities. Here, we love dog puzzles and mentally and physically stimulating activities! Our house is pet friendly with plenty of space to play inside or out, depending on the weather. We also have pets of our own, who are very high energy and playful! We prefer gradual introductions to keep everyone calm and safe so your dogs will not meet ours during initial meet and greets. They’ll likely only meet ours if they stay multiple times or for more than 3 days. Entering a new environment or being cared for by someone new can be stressful for pets so we pay close attention to how each pet responds and acts and make sure to cater according to their individual needs, giving them space or activities as needed. Your pet will be loved, safe, and well cared for while they are here!
“Shelley was absolutely phenomenal. As close to having him at home as possible - in fact, he almost didn’t want to come home. Shelley was ON POINT with all of our pups special needs and meds. She was attentive and kind. Took him out as often as he needed and on walks (short because of the heat of course). I plan to continue working w Shelley as a repeat. Luca is looking forward to spending time with his Aunt Shelley. I felt so comfortable leaving him with her and am so grateful for all the TLC she showed out little guy. ❤️❤️❤️”

We have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and are comfortable caring for large and extra-large breeds. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, or simply relaxing around the house, we'll do our best to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. As a small business owner who works 100% remotely, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home.

Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will have a consistent, comfortable environment during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and live in a quiet, safe neighborhood that is great for walks. We also have a friendly 4-year-old Labrador who enjoys the company of other dogs and helps visiting pets feel at home. Our family includes young children who love animals and have been taught how to interact with pets safely, respectfully, and appropriately. We understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, and we work to create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel secure, loved, and part of the family.

“Being the first time I have ever left a dog (child) with anyone, I was pretty apprehensive. Vanessa made the process easier than can be, was warm, updated us throughout the day, and was an absolute pleasure. Would 100% use again anytime our little one needs a sitter. A+”
“Elaine was great with my dog Oliver. He was well taken care of and a happy boy after his daycare visit. Elaine is also greatly knowledgeable with training tips as Oliver can be a bit of a stubborn boy.”
“Jing was great with my 11 month old Bernese Leo! She was very responsive and sent great photos all day. She was also flexible and understanding when I was running late for pick up which I really appreciated!”
“Overall, it was a great experience. Andrea was accommodating and pleasant. Her golden retriever was high energy and seemed fun. I would recommend her to anyone. Unfortunately, our schedules changed and we were unable to continue to use her. I know our dog is disappointed!”
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
“Jeremy and Rui take such good care of our pup! She always gets excited when we pull up to drop her off. They are great with communication and very flexible and easy to work with. We are very comfortable knowing our Breeze is in such great care!”
About: I focus on calm, structured, and reliable dog care — especially for dogs that need consistency and clear routines. What I do differently: • Maintain a structured daily routine (walks, rest, feeding on schedule) • Provide a calm and controlled home environment (no chaos, no overcrowding) • Give regular photo/video updates so you always know how your dog is doing I’m especially a great fit for: • High-energy dogs that need structured walks • Dogs that feel anxious in new environments • Owners who want clear communication and peace of mind Services: • Dog walking (30/60 min) • Drop-in visits • House sitting • Boarding (safe, clean, supervised environment) My goal is simple: 👉 Your dog stays calm, safe, and well cared for 👉 You don’t have to worry while you’re away I am currently working from home. I have plenty of time to take good of your pets except on Wednesday Thursday You can drop them off anytime - in order to maintain a healthy environment, I require all dogs to stay with us to be up-to-date with all their vaccines -Dogs who exhibit “marking “behavior will not be accepted -Dogs with any aggressive issue toward people will not be accepted. Thanks for understanding

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Norton on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of August 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 Norton 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.

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.
