“Belinda was amazing with Juno and helped out while I was at work for a work trip! Juno had a great time and it was amazing knowing Juno was in great care! Thank you so much!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Carol for Finley’s first-ever daycare through Rover. As a first-time daycare user, we were a bit nervous, but Carol made the entire process smooth and reassuring. She was extremely responsive both before and during Finley’s stay, answering all our questions and keeping us updated with photo and video of him playing and settling in. Carol’s calm and caring approach helped him feel comfortable and safe. We’re so glad we found her and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter!”
“Hannah was great at communicating and posting pics of Gracie. She took her on walks and Gracie enjoyed her time in Hannah's care. Will definitely reach out again next time we're in the area. :)”
“Was on a trip to MA for the weekend. Very happy that I found Marcia to take care of my dog for the day while I was out. She provided a lot of pictures and updates without me having to ask. She went above and beyond! She took my dog out for multiple walks as well as letting my dog outside in her fenced in backyard all day. If I am back in MA again, definitely will be reaching out!”
“Ying is so sweet to our pup and makes sure she has everything she needs throughout the day. We love receiving photos and updates and Ying is great with them. We will definitely be booking again!”
About: I've been working with dogs for over five years, including dogsitting and walking through Rover, as well as hands-on experience at animal shelters. I'm especially comfortable with senior dogs, I've even cared for a 20-year-old pup! I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means going at a slower pace for older dogs or providing extra comfort and care. I'm currently working remotely, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I take dogs on regular walks, at least once in the morning and once in the evening. When a dog is in my care, they truly become part of the family. Whether it's a car ride, a visit to a pet-friendly store, or a mini-hike, your pup will be by my side, enjoying the day with me. I prioritize safety, comfort, and transparency when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I'm always upfront about the environment your dog will be in, and if your dog isn’t comfortable around others, I won’t host additional pets during their stay. I’m experienced with administering medications and keeping an eye on each dog’s overall well-being, including tick checks and monitoring for any signs of discomfort. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll contact you right away to keep you fully informed.
“My puppy had the most wonderful time. They were incredibly communicative and shared her day with me with pictures and videos. Communication was excellent and they are lovely and flexible. Highly recommend!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Xiuping and her family. They are so kind and friendly. Very responsive and trustworthy as well. I got many cute pics and felt my dog was given a lot of attention and well cared for. I would definitely rebook next time.”
“Luci and her family were absolutely incredible for our pup! From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating. During her time with them, she was treated like family! Luci sent regular updates, including adorable pictures and videos, which made me feel so at ease. This was my first time leaving my pup alone and she was so happy every day she was there. I highly recommend!”
“Heather (and her two adorable and fun dogs) is a godsend. My dog can be anxious and untrusting, so finding care for her where I am comfortable that she feels at ease is quite a challenge. However, she lives to go to Heather's place! Not only has Heather watched Perla over night, but I regularly take Perla to Heather's while I'm at work. I drop Perla off to Heather at least one day a week. I am so glad I don't have to depend on a doggy daycare business. Heather is very flexible with scheduling and definitely takes my dog for my walks than I do in a given day. I am very grateful for Heather and highly recommend her!”
About: I have had a family dog for over 10 years now and have taken care of her all her life. My own dog now lives in New Hampshire, but I still would love to take care of and play with dogs on a daily basis. I have also watched friend’s, neighbors, and other family members dogs all my life and enjoy every second of it. I am currently on summer break from attending college in New Jersey. I will be in Massachusetts until September and am available every weekday full time for the next 10 weeks to be able to devote my time and care for your dog. My home includes an outdoor deck that leads to a fenced in backyard that is perfect for dogs to be let out and taken outside to use the bathroom or play on the lawn. Also, I have my dogs older bed, toys, food, and treats from before she moved to New Hampshire. My bedroom is also very close to the door leading to the deck, so letting dogs out to use the bathroom in the night is quick and easy. There are stairs leading up the the home but I can easily pick up dogs that may not be able to climb them.
About: Master's degree in animal care and welfare. Former vet tech for dogs and cats at an E.R. I also have an Animal Science degree and have cared for horses and other animals. I work from home some days, part-time, and always have walk breaks. I go for long walks and will join with doggy playmates if your dog is able. Will also walk small dogs in carriages for fresh air. Have fenced in yard for small and medium size dogs. I have a fenced in yard and one Bichon rescue dog who is older, and friendly with other dogs. I was a former vet tech and have much cat and dog health care skills.
“Our pup Bruce had an intense reactive past, but has improved significantly over the years with training and behavior modification. For this reason, we’re cautious on caregivers, as we’re very transparent with his history prior to rescue and training. We came across Brianna’s profile and from her experience, she seemed like a great fit for Bruce. Brianna did not disappoint. She was wonderful with our pup and he warmed up to her quickly. He enjoyed lots of cuddle time, walks and lap hangs while she was working at her desk. Brianna was communicative, quick to respond, personable, warm and inviting. We plan to book with Brianna again soon!”
“Another great stretch of daycare days with Likun and EL! He races to her house every morning which tells me he loves going! I can go to work knowing he’s in good hands. Thank you again!”
“Courtney took amazing care of my puppy, Mocha! She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup with her and will definitely book again.”
“Muppet has now had 4 days of doggie daycare with Luciana's Mom Solange and she has been great. She is always ready for us when we arrive and when I come back for pickup. She is super accommodating and has been perfectly happy for me to drop off late in the day and pick up as late as 11:30 p.m. She takes Muppet for many more walks than I ever manage in a day, and, though he is a nervous dog in general, he seems to be more and more comfortable with each visit. Thanks, Solange!”
About: I’m a long‑time doodle mom with more than 13 years of hands‑on experience caring for hypoallergenic and low‑shedding dogs. I currently have two doodles — a senior labradoodle and a younger double doodle — and they’ve taught me everything about coat care, temperament, structure, and the unique needs of allergy‑friendly breeds. Why I Specialize in These Dogs My specialization comes directly from my own experience as a doodle owner. When my dogs were in traditional daycare and walking groups, they often came home covered in fur and dander from other breeds. That brought allergens into our home, affected our environment, and caused unnecessary skin irritation and extra grooming for my dogs. I realized that doodles, hypoallergenic, and low‑shedding breeds needed more thoughtful, coat‑compatible care — environments that respect their coats, reduce allergen exposure, and keep them comfortable. That experience shaped everything about how I care for dogs today. My mission is to provide coat‑compatible walks and solo pet‑care services that minimize allergens brought into the home, help dogs thrive through safe, structured socialization, and give families the elevated, allergy‑conscious care they want for their pets. I offer structured, coat‑compatible pack walks and solo pet‑care services designed specifically for doodles and low‑shedding breeds. My pack walks are small, curated groups of compatible low‑shedding dogs, designed to be calm, structured, and coat‑friendly. My weekday schedule includes mid‑day walks, drop‑ins, and in‑home sitting, all arranged in consistent time blocks that help dogs thrive on routine. Weekdays: • 10:30–11:30 AM — Morning pack walk block • 12:30–1:30 PM — Mid‑day pack walk block • Early morning, late afternoon, and evening availability for drop‑ins, solo walks, or sitting depending on bookings Weekdays: • 10:30–11:30 AM — Morning pack walk block • 12:30–1:30 PM — Mid‑day pack walk block • Early morning, late afternoon, and evening availability for drop‑ins, solo walks, or sitting depending on bookings Weekdays: • 10:30–11:30 AM — Morning pack walk block • 12:30–1:30 PM — Mid‑day pack walk block •Early morning, late afternoon, and evening availability for drop‑ins walks or sitting, depending on bookings. Evenings & Weekends: Available for in‑home sitting, extended drop‑ins, and specialty care for senior dogs, puppies, and anxious doodles. I keep my schedule intentionally limited so each dog receives calm, individualized attention and a predictable routine. If you have a doodle or low‑shedding breed that benefits from structure, gentle handling, and allergy‑conscious care, I’d love to support your family. I provide calm, structured, and coat‑compatible care designed specifically for doodles and low‑shedding breeds. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your dog during walks or drop‑ins, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and predictable routines. In your home, I follow your dog’s established schedule, feeding and handling preferences, and any grooming or coat‑care routines you rely on. I maintain a clean, low‑distraction environment, avoid exposure to other dogs’ fur or dander, and keep all outings controlled and intentional. My pack walks are small, curated groups of compatible low‑shedding dogs, ensuring calm socialization and a safe, allergy‑conscious experience. I’m highly attentive, communicative, and respectful of your home and your dog’s comfort. My goal is to provide a trustworthy, elevated level of care that keeps your dog safe, relaxed, and understood, while always being mindful of your allergy‑conscious home and the low‑shedding environment your family relies on.

Was on a trip to MA for the weekend. Very happy that I found Marcia to take care of my dog for the day while I was out. She provided a lot of pictures and updates without me having to ask. She went above and beyond! She took my dog out for multiple walks as well as letting my dog outside in her fenced in backyard all day. If I am back in MA again, definitely will be reaching out!
Kerrianne and her family were fantastic. Pippa had a great time with them. Our dog can be high a little energy and they had no problem with her. She had such a good time she didn't seem like she even wanted to leave. We will definitely be reaching out to Kerrianne again next time we need someone.
Unfortunately, one of my dogs has cancer and I have a week of early morning trainings for work. (530a drop offs- Yikes!). Yesika is still willing to take her every day, work with the energy that she has that day, and offs care across the day (additional small meals, medication for nausea,etc). So glad that I have this resource.
Brianna has taken such good care of Oliver at a really hard time for him. He is so happy to see her and her home is such warm and cozy for my dog. She communicates perfectly to let me relax after I drop him. You can tell Brianna really loves the dogs she cares for.
Leyna was so communicative before, during, and after Finn’s stay. She was happy to answer questions prior to booking and sent lots of photos throughout the day. Finn had a great time playing with her dog and I can already tell he’s going to pass out when we get home. If we have any dog sitting needs in the future we will definitely reach out to Leyna!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Stoneham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Stoneham 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 2,920 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Stoneham. 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 Stoneham 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 2,920 sitters in Stoneham, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
