“Heather was an absolute lifesaver and a fantastic sitter! She jumped in last minute when we needed her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She provided regular updates with messages and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was so sweet to hear how my dog enjoy playing together with her dog, enjoyed a little backyard chase, and even went on a car ride! Heather even let my dog borrow a coat for their walk, which was such a thoughtful touch. I truly appreciate all the care and attention she provided, making sure my dog felt comfortable, safe, and well-loved. If you're looking for a reliable, kind, and communicative sitter, Heather is the best! I highly recommend her and would definitely book again.”
“Donnie is the man. An absolute life saver. My girls story is long so I won’t get into details. When I came across Donnie on Rover, and after reading his profile and reviews, I felt he was the one for Nala. We did a meet and greet and within seconds of meeting us he corrected me on what I was doing wrong. I respected that, because to me that showed me he straight up and real. Also, he was the very first K9 professional that didn’t sell me dreams and he made no promises. He gives off a bright welcoming glow and is always sporting a huge smile. Since Nala has been attending his daycare she has become a completely different dog. A dog that i had always hope for her. She definitely has a ways to go, but my goodness has she come far. Last night, for the very first time in her entire life, as I came up to her she rolled on her back and gave me her belly. I know that is something very small, but for us it’s huge!!!! From that moment on I knew my girl was going to be okay. And we owe it all to Donnie. He has saved my family, but most of my girl. Donnie deserves 20 stars, no 100. Donnie and his family are amazing and their love and passion for dogs is astounding. If you are looking for help with you pups…..I would only have Donnie to recommend. He is the true dog whisperer.”
About: I am a reliable, active, and detail-oriented dog sitter. I tailor every stay to your dog's unique routine and personality. Fully equipped to handle feeding, medication, exercise and plenty of TLC. Let's chat about how I can make your dog's day great! I do doggie daycare/boarding full time, so I am always home. During the day, the pups go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the fenced yard, if that is more their style. I am fully insured and certified in canine first aid and CPR, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. My family dogs are friendly, laid back and always welcome to new friends. My home is set up with multiple boundaries to allow dogs to have quiet time when needed.
“Our dogs had a blast handing out for a few hours while we were able host a grad party. The dogs came home happy and exhausted from playing in the yard. Thank you Krystyna and Sara🐶❤️❤️”
About: Hi! I'm very active during the day and super chill at night. I work a full time job but will spend breakfast, lunch, and dinner with your dog plus a 30+ minute walk/run. I like to curl up and watch tv or read a book after work and will cuddle with your dog. I have a Bernese Mountain Dog of my own, currently 7 months old and he loves meeting new dogs. I can always bring him with me or leave him at home to give your dog all my attention. I work from home so having an extra dog here is very easy. I am also able to get away and come to you to care for your dog. I have a fully fenced yard that my dog loves to run in. We can’t wait to have your dog over to play with Kevin!
About: Since childhood, I’ve been devoted to caring for dogs. Growing up with lively boxers, they really honed my skills for handling energetic pups. Now, I share my home with a super friendly 2.5 year old French Bulldog who adores people, kids, and other animals. We take daily walks, and I’d be thrilled to include your dog in our adventures. With a spacious fenced in yard for playing fetch and enjoying yard games, your furry friend will have a fantastic time with us! My wife and I both work from home, so there should always be someone around to take care of their needs. I currently am working part-time from home, so I will have more than enough time to play and take care of any of your animals needs! Since I work from home, my availability is wide open. I am open to dog daycare, boarding, and walking any day of the week. I have a large fenced in yard where your pet can play. My dog will also be more than happy to play and keep your pet company. I am also more than happy to crate your pet at any time during the day if you desire, I know that some cooldown time is needed with certain breeds. I’m also willing to take on any special requests you may have as long as they are within reason.
About: I have had pets my entire life and could never live without them. I have three dogs and three cats and would love the opportunity to take care of your babies the way you wish you could while you are away. My schedule is extremely flexible and I would love to further discuss together what works best for you and your fur babies needs sometime soon. I visit your home and take care of your pets in the environment that they know and are most comfortable. I will also do neighborhood walks, dog parks, and vet visits depending on arrangements.
“First time using Rover so was understandably nervous, but Sindy couldn’t have been more outstanding. She was so caring and wonderful to our little girl. We would absolutely recommend Sindy to everyone, and we’ll absolutely be using her services again soon!”
About: I am an animal and nature lover who loves being outdoors and taking care of animals. I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. We love going on walks and playing inside. I have 4 kids that are full of energy and love playing with animals as much as I do! I work from home so I am always around and love talking daily walks early in the morning, at lunch and at dinner time. My golden doodle is always looking for new friends too! I have plenty of indoor space for play and a built in playful friend in my golden doodle so your dog will never be bored but can also have separate time for relaxation as needed
“Julianna was a great dog sitter. She met us the night before to us. She was flexible when our plans changed slightly. She was responsive to messages and provided lots of pictures and comments to put us at ease. We will definitely keep her in mind the next time we need a dog sitter when we are in Londonderry. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.”
About: I have always been described as the animal lover in my family, always trying to convince my parents to get me a new pet. I have been petsitting since 2020, and have excellent references!

I am currently home in New Hampshire from college in Boston looking to expand my pet sitting experience! I am free almost every day, and can provide exceptional and reliable care for your pets. Pets at my home are always taken care of with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I have a fenced in yard!

“I found myself needing someone to watch my two dogs on short notice while I went to a medical appt over two hours from my home. I found Shannon and she happily accepted my booking request with less than 24 hours notice and without the benefit of a meet & greet. Her home is set up perfectly with a beautiful fenced in yard at the end of a quiet dead-end street. I will definitely call on Shannon again when I'm back in the area. Thank you again for helping me out when I was in a bind.”
“Mac had a wonderful day with Robert and his pups. He had never been to a dog sitter before so we were a bit anxious about leaving him. We had a meet and greet before the day visit and when Mac got to Bob’s house on the day of the visit, Mac remembered that it was a place with people that he liked. Bob’s updates through the day made us rest easy that Mac was being well cared for. We loved the report card and pictures that we got at the end of the visit. We look forward to our next booking with Bob.”
“5 stars! Lindsey took very good care of my doggy while I was visiting from out of town for Newport Seafood and Winefest. She was happy to watch him for however long I needed, which I loved because I didn't have to rush to and from the fest like I have had to in years past due to using the Commercial Dog Daycare in Newport. She took him to the dog park and sent me a picture of him to check in, and he returned to me as one tired pup, which is good! She is also quick to respond to any messages sent, and will check in with you a day or two prior to watching your dog. I trust Lindsey with my dog, and will definitely contact her again in the future!”
“Mimi was amazing with Prince! Prince can be very wary of strangers and needs special care and Mimi delivered! She followed my recommendations and was cautious and by the second day she and Prince were best friends :) Thank you so much Mimi, you are the best!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Sandown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,261 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Sandown. 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 Sandown 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 NH 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 1,261 sitters in Sandown, 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.
