About: I have always had a love and passion for animals. I have grown up with dogs, cats, chickens, even a pet turtle. Each animal brought me so much happiness and I considered my pets as family members. Growing up, I have cared for friends, neighbors, and family members pets. Animals made me who I am today! I have an open schedule as I am currently in between jobs. While on my job search, I want to spend my time around pets giving them love and care. I know the value of being a trustworthy, attentive, and reliable sitter. I have a clean spacious home, a yard, and I currently don’t own any pets of my own. Your pet will be treated like family here receiving lots of affection so they feel at home while you’re away.

“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”

“I think our puppy Lucy officially found her second home with Dawn and her family! Knowing we needed a sitter before even bringing our puppy home, I turned to Rover and found Dawn—and I’m so glad I did. She went above and beyond from the start, even coming over with her kids to meet Lucy beforehand. She’s truly salt of the earth, and I immediately felt at ease the moment I met her. As first-time dog parents, we had plenty of questions and requests, and Dawn was so accommodating, evening keeping us updated with the sweetest photos. I loved that on our first daycare service Lucy got to socialize with her kids and even play with another dog while she was there. On top of that, my husband has a difficult work schedule, and Dawn was incredibly flexible, which made everything so much easier. Watching a hyper puppy is no small task, but Dawn handled it with such care and patience. We are so grateful to have Dawn and her family in out circle!”

About: In my house or yours! What sets me apart is that I offer truly personalized, low-volume care in a calm home environment. Mine or yours. I only take one or two guest dogs at a time, so your dog gets lots of individual attention, affection, and supervision — not the chaos of a large kennel or crowded daycare setting. I’ve cared for six dogs of my own throughout my life and loved every one of them through all stages of life, including senior years and end-of-life care. I understand how important routines, patience, comfort, and trust are when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I love all dogs, but my home is especially well-suited for: • Dogs who prefer a quieter environment • Dogs needing medication or special routines • Dogs who don’t do well in large group settings • Dogs who are not friendly with other dogs* • Owners looking for flexible pickup/drop-off times Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced backyard, one daily leash walk, personalized feeding and medication schedules, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Plus flexible pick up and drop-off times. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and at home while you’re away. I am willing to take 3 dogs, but only if they all come from the same home. *If you require your dog to be the ONLY dog in the household, please reach out to me before booking. I work primarily from home, so dogs in my care receive lots of companionship, supervision, outdoor time, and attention throughout the day — not long periods left alone. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family with plenty of supervision, companionship, outdoor time, a daily walk, and personalized feeding or medication schedules. I only care for one or two dogs at a time to maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.

About: Hi!! I'm Lauren, I love all animals, especially dogs, of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. From newfoundlands to bulldogs, I love them all! Conveniently, I am at home during the majority of the day so your dog will NOT be left alone or ignored! I am a very active person so if your dog requires lots of play or exercise, then i'm definately the caregiver for you! I will always guarantee that I will care for your dog, as if they were my own & shower them with plenty of love and attention! I genuinely believe that dogs are more than just a pet, but a real member of the family. Dogs are truly "man's best friend". I work part time so I’m home the majority of the day and night. Your dog is never alone as my pups are always with them. I have my own pets who have been raised amongst other dogs and are extremely friendly. They get along with anything that has a beating heart.

About: My journey with animals did not start as a job. It began when I was 10 years old and welcomed my first cat into my life. Since then, animals have always been part of my world. I also grew up with a beloved Shih Tzu who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years and taught me what patient, devoted, long-term care truly looks like. Over the years, I have gained hands-on pet-sitting experience with many different animals and breeds, from energetic Golden Retrievers to Maine Coons, playful kittens, and small companion dogs. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I live with my husband in a two-floor apartment with hardwood floors and no carpets. I am happy to lift and carry pets on the stairs when needed, as long as they are comfortable being picked up. No matter the age, breed, or temperament, your pet will be treated with patience, attention, and care, just like part of the family. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give all the needed attention to your pet throughout the day. That means plenty of walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and just being around so they feel cared for and not left alone for too long. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats, keeping them active, entertained, and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I live with my husband in a two-floor condo with its own backyard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m very mindful of safety and always keep dogs secure when they're outside. The area around us has plenty of green space, which makes walks much more enjoyable and gives dogs lots of room to explore, sniff, and play.

About: I grew up taking care of dogs since high school! Friends have always called me the dog whisperer. Extremely patient with dogs and worked at a dog salon as a dog bather for 4 years. I do currently have a dog of my own, Bob, a Brussels Griffon. My partner, Dylan, and I work at home 4/5 days. We stagger our days so that someone is always home with the dogs and are never left at home alone. We both work together to make sure my dog and yours are interacting well with each other and are having a good time! We are happy to accommodate any dogs that need extra TLC during the work week from 8/8:30AM to 5:30PM. We are unable to do pick ups later than 5:30PM at this time. Your dog will be able to join us on our morning and midday walk! We only take one dog at a time to provide the highest quality care. I have an unfenced yard, but will always take your dog out leashed. Your dog will be a part of our family during the stay and is allowed on all furniture.

About: Six years of cuddles, walks, and playtime have made me a true pet enthusiast! I know how much pets enrich our lives, and I'm eager to share that love with your furry friend. I'm experienced in providing engaging activities and creating a fun, safe environment for your pet to thrive. I work from home and can fit in schedules during the week. I have a unfixed, male Beagle, Leo - who is a sweetheart and is very calm and mingles well with to other dogs. He mostly loves to laze around once he's had his fill. I have an enclosed sun room for the pet to relax and bask in the sun. The neighbourhood is very calm, safe and pet friendly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in South Lancaster on Rover is $61 per day as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $67 per day. 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.

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 South Lancaster 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 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 2,507 sitters in South Lancaster, 87% 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.
