“Trish was amazing with my Nami! I am an extremely anxious dog owner and she ensured that both Nami and I had a great first experience. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day and Nami didn’t want to leave when I went to pick her up because she had SO much fun! Highly recommend!”
About: Fully insured for your peace of mind. Dog mom to my pup Zephyr. Over 25 years of hands on dog experience. Reliable dog lover treating every pup like family and every walk like an adventure. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog mom to my lab, Zephyr, my days are built around walks, exercise, and making sure he is happy and well cared for. I structure my schedule to provide consistent, reliable walks and visits, so each dog gets the attention, safety, and care they deserve. I do 3 walks a day, depending on your dogs needs and physical limitations. I also provide mental stimulation activities to balance out their energy. I will not be hosting another dog while your pup is in my care because they are my number 1 priority. I have 1 very friendly 5 year old Labrador that gets plenty of walks, treats, kisses and love. Your pup will be very welcome in our pack!
About: We have a large, very clean, and safe home with a big backyard. There are plenty of trails and sidewalks for walking around our house as well as a variety of parks nearby we can visit. I stay at home and will be available all day to supervise care for your dog(s). My three teenage kids will help provide care and are very responsible, loving, and diligent caretakers. Our own 2 small (4 lb) chihuahuas, Mocha & Lacey, are used to having other dogs around. When your dog(s) stay with us, you can be sure that they will be well loved, safe, and welcomed into the family as one of our own! We would be happy to keep you updated with pictures of your pet during his/her stay. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently stay at home and am available to care for your dog for most of the day. My husband also works from home quite a bit and helps as well. We have a large back yard but also love taking the dogs on walks through the nearby trails in the woods. Both my husband an I walk every day so there is plenty of opportunity for your dog to get out.

About: I’m a devoted dog lover and stay-at-home pet caregiver with a friendly, nearly 5-year-old beagle who adores canine company. I have lots of time to cater to your dog’s needs—whether that’s plenty of cuddles, neighborhood walks, or longer hikes—and our beagle has a calm, social temperament and has never met a dog he didn’t get along with. He even helps new dogs settle in at daycare thanks to his gentle nature. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels and tailor walks and activity to each dog’s needs (short, slow strolls or more active outings). Safe, attentive care and lots of affection are guaranteed—happy to discuss routines, feeding, and any special needs your dog has. I’m currently not employed so my days are flexible. Any doggos that come to the house will be joined by our friendly beagle. Walks are completely up to your discretion. I will do whatever is easiest and the most safe for your pets. We have a crate in our house that can be used if needed. We also have a yard that is not fenced in.
About: I've had my own golden retriever for 5 years now and have spent my life with and caring for other pets. My dog has enjoyed constant attention and love and exemplifies a gentle and playful attitude toward other pets. Though no backyard, we frequently go for neighborhood walks and to nearby dog parks. Our household also has plenty of toys for share that would keep your pet entertained and stimulated while you're away. I would also ensure that you're updated frequently on the status of your pet and be attentive to any preferences and/or accommodations you may have. 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.
“Jeremy & Rui were very accommodating on very short notice. Not only that, but they took very good care of our fur baby Charlie. The pics that they sent of him playing with the other dogs during the day made my wife and I very happy to see how much of a good time he was having! We would definitely recommend Jeremy & Rui to anyone looking for good, caring dog people!”
About: I am a former cat and dog owner with years of experience caring for pets. I live alone and work from home so I am able to care for your fur babies 24/7! I work from home so I have plenty of time to care for your babies. I have a big yard to walk and play with your babies. I live alone and work from home so I can provide 24 hr care for your fur babies. I will take care of your fur babies as if they are my own.
“Bonnie, our Black Lab, had a great first visit. The big backyard was perfect. Bonnie got to do a lot of running with Eileen's dogs. We were late picking up Bonnie and Eileen was very accommodating. Mike”
About: I am a Licensed/Certified Boarder. I have passed inspections and carry a special permit per Massachusetts Law. My home has been thoroughly inspected both inside and outside by the Town Animal Control officer to ensure your pets are safe and secure when in my care :) I have been a big animal lover my whole life and being able to take care of and play with different animals is so much fun and makes my heart feel full:) I have also rescued many animals from squirrels to birds and have a special place in my heart for animals in need of help. I love to play and even help train dogs. Animals with special needs are more than welcome here and I would tend to their every need. IWe have just over 2 acres of land and a fenced in area with chickens who are fenced separate from pups. Your family member would be happy to be here:) I provide a true “Vacation” for your pets while you are away! I am equipped and ready to work with all dog types. I cannot board any dogs who are aggressive to other animals or people for safety to all. This is a full-time job for me and animals are a true passion of mine. If you would like pictures and videos of recent guests just ask and you shall receive :) If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I am caring for pets full time! We do not crate (unless asked by owner). Pets can feel like they are on vacation when you are on vacation!!! All pets we care for are treated as if they are members of our family. We offer a day of activities for your pet whether they like to play catch, lounge under trees, etc. We have access in and out of our house with minimal steps that is great for more senior dogs who have a hard time walking. You will not be disappointed if you trust in me and my family! ***When packing your pup(s) for their stay they really only need food, leash/collar/tags, favorite treats(I have some here but may pack your own), medications (if necessary), and your preferred care instructions (how much food they eat, medication instructions, etc.). You may pack bedding and a couple favorite toys if you think your pup will be more at home but I have found that none of the pups are interested in those things when they come here so not necessary if you don’t want to pack so much. I have many items such as bowls, toys, bedding, treats, sprinklers for hot days, etc. I do not crate unless asked by owner. All pups need to be up to date on vaccines and rabies. I will need to take a copy of them and keep them on file here:) I am boarding full time! Pets are NEVER left alone or outside alone. We are fenced in the back yard also for some leash less fun! Your pets are cared for like my own family:) I am strict to pet owners requests and do not share food or treats that don’t belong to each pet so no one gets sick. (You may send their treats if you like it will only be given to them). Can give medications if needed.
“I had Theresa watch my pup Henry for the day while I was visiting Boston. Simply put, she was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of Henry and sent me frequent updates and photos which put me at total ease. I highly recommend her and will definitely reach out next time I come to the Boston area!”
About: I have experience with different kind of dogs including German Shepard, Golden retriever, Yorkie, and Poodles. I currently have a Yorkiepoo who's 9 years old.

“Tayla was great with our golden retriever, Charlie! She was super easy to communicate with and sent us multiple updates with pictures throughout the day! We definitely recommend her!”
“Our little Rosey had an absolute blast with Zach! She was completely tuckered out when we pick her up. Zach sent several photos to keep us updated on her visit. He played with Rosey inside/outside and taking a walk by the water. What a great day Rosey had. We will definitely be using Zach again”
“We have been leaving our dog Boo with Kristen while we go to work and we have been loving it!! He always has a great day and I love getting pictures of him throughout the day.

Trish is a great communicator and wonderful sitter. My dog is a rescue so he has special needs - Trish has always taken care to be receptive, proactive and it’s so clear how much she enjoys working with all kinds of dogs. I really appreciate being able to work with her and to trust her with my dog’s care! Thank you Trish!
Murphy spent two days with Roxanne for doggy day care when we needed to be at work. She played with him in her nice backyard, and kept him engaged while also helping him relax in a new place. On his second time seeing her, he whined at her door and excitedly ran to see her. It’s clear she enjoys his company, and he also enjoys spending time with her. We will definitely consider booking her for any future needs.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Rockland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Rockland on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,705 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Rockland. 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 Rockland 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 2,705 sitters in Rockland, 86% 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.
