“My puppies have stayed with Carol a few times and they always have so much fun! She sends me pictures and videos all day and the pups are exhausted when I pick them up which is nice!”
“Brie is a wonderful, responsible, knowledgeable, and kind sitter! She asked a lot of questions and did a meet and greet with us before watching our dog, Chiko, for the first time, so we could really comfortable before his first time staying with her. Brie provided lots of updates throughout the day, and was very understanding of Chiko’s needs and boundaries (he doesn’t get along with other dogs). Brie was communicative, professional, and we will 100% continue using her as a sitter for Chiko!”
“Thank you Hannah for taking such good care of Milly!! We gave Hannah detailed notes for Milly because she is a reactive dog and we’ve been working with a behaviorist to try to calm her anxieties and fears. She followed them and kept her happy and healthy!”
“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!”
About: I absolutely loves animals! I have years of experience caring for my friends' dogs and treating them like my own.

I have a fenced yard where dogs can run freely and securely. I understand the importance of routine and safety, treating every furry guest as a member of our own family.
“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!”
“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!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life. Always had one since I had my memory. I've also had cats and hamsters I've rehabilitated. My dog Cinnamon is basically my daughter and i'm somewhat a beacon to most dogs and I love it I recently started a work from home job. I just bought a house recently so our dog can have the back and front yard she deserves. I can walk them 4-6 times a day, play with them and they'll have a best friend here too. We're on a dead-end street, and our yard is fenced on one side. We also have our dog, who will keep your dog company. We don't have kids so no tiny toys lying around as a choking hazard
“Loves my dogs as much as I do, always pays attention to the little details like medications and making sure I get all of their toys back, and super flexible about scheduling even with my weird schedule.”
“Elizabeth and Neil made our anxious goldendoodle feel right at home! They were so great with him, gave him lots of love and attention, and communicated excellently with us, sending lots of great photos and videos throughout his stay.”
“She took wonderful care of my pup with outstanding care and love. She took him on multiple walks and play sessions and sent me a ton of photos. Don’t hesitate to book!🥰”
“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.”
“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!”
“My pup had the best time ever in the yard, chilling in the house, and befriending Betsy’s sweet dog. I even got a photo during the day. :-) Looking forward to her next stay!”
“Cheuck was an excellent sitter for our dog Simka. We basically never leave her with someone we don’t know, but he made us comfortable from the beginning and she had a great time. It was fun to see photos and videos throughout her stay.”
“Carol responded to the call of duty right when I needed her! I recently had surgery this week and overestimated being up for the challenge of healing and watching my pup. I attempted to call local pet hotels, but because my puppy hadn’t been with them before it was impossible to get in at the last minute. Carol not only replied right after I messaged her (at 7 AM in the morning) but she even agreed to meet me somewhere that was closer to my home (due to me healing and not able to be in the car for long) to pick up the pup. I truly recommend Carol and she has been such a lifesaver! She sent me a picture and updates of my pup (he has never been around anyone but myself and my family and this made me feel very at ease) and there were other pups for him to hang out with! She has even been checking up with my pup and myself the day after and I will definitely be using her services again. Thanks Carol!”
“Anna & Thomas are not only extremely kind people, they are also prompt and very professional. They took amazing care of our dog, Louis and sent updates throughout the day. This was his first time away from us, and when we picked him up he seemed calm and very comfortable. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for pet services!”
“Elizabeth and her kids took amazing care of Bean! Elizabeth was incredibly accommodating in setting up a space for Bean in her home and truly went above and beyond. She also sent various updates and photos throughout Bean's stay with her. Would definitely recommend!”
“Finn has been loving his days with Likun! Her dog loves to run and play as well, so it’s a great match! Finn gets outside time, walks, and naps during his stay and always comes home tired and happy. Thank you Likun!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stoneham
Our pup, Sammy, appreciated the kind and gracious welcome from hosts Sahana and Raman -- and also little Cinnamon! The hosts communicated exceptionally well and have a perfect set up for pets. Our first visit was a doggie daycare meet and greet and we have confidence we will be able to do overnight boarding. We will definitely be rebooking!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Stoneham on Rover is $51.62 per day (as of September 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 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 2,876 sitters in Stoneham, 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 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.
