About: We don't have any pets but we usually take care of our friends dog when they're on holidays 😌 your dog will definitely be fed, walked and played with! So if your dog loves kids, it may be a perfect place for him to spend some time 👌 I am working mostly remotly, so it will be easy to schedule in walks with your pet and other care. Apart from school runs and a few ours some days a week in the evening to go to afterschool activities we are at home most of the time. If husband is not working and I am out with kids he would stay at home with a pet we are looking after. We will adapt our activities and make sure your pet has the best time in our care We have two daughters 3 yr old and 6 year old who loves little pets, but has never hurt any pet as both are a bit cautious. We all will love to play with your per throw toys and run around. We have medium sized back garden which is fully fenced and chance for pet to run away through the gaps as there's none. We would take your dog for a walk twice a day and of course feed him according to his needs and how he's used to at home.
“Our Mini-Labradoodle Sadie, had the BEST day with Aneta and her gorgeous doggy! She took such beautiful care of Sadie and gave us regular updates. And wow what a garden for them to play in. Thank you Aneta and family. Would recommend 100% and will book again. X”
“Paul was quick at responding to our date and it was very short notice. Our puppies were very happy staying with him and photos were sent showed them relaxed and smiley. Paul took them for walks. Fed them and cared for them well. The property was very secure and immaculate. The puppies had free range of the house and garden. We were so impressed and relieved, we are booking with Paul again. We would highly recommend this wonderful friendly guy.”
About: I’ve looked after many kind of animals but more specifically dogs. I have cared for many breeds from springer spaniels to pugs. I have also cared for gun dogs and done basic training with working dogs. I can offer a flexible schedule to meet your needs. As I do university from home I can work around my academic schedule to suit your pets needs. I care for pets in my own home using a specific structure based off the needs of the owner. Whatever the owner would like me to do I can put it into a routine to ensure their animal gets the best treatment as possible.
“So happy to have found Katie and her dog Kali, lots of pictures and some videos of my dog having lovely playtime. She was totally at home with her new sitter Katie, she is so professional and organised, I always feel concerned leaving my very lively dog with a new person, Katie is very capable and knowledgeable around nervous behaviours as her own dog shares a similar temperament to mine. So I will be going to Katie as my first choice from now on. 🤩X”
“Our Labrador Buddy had the best time with Christine and Luke and their dalmation Hugo. Buddy has a lot of energy and he was a great match for Hugo. Communication with Christine was great and we got lots of videos and pictures throughout the day. The pictures got Buddy’s personality spot on. Highly recommend and would use again.”
“It was such a relief that Sarah helped us out at short notice while we were away on holiday, she had great communication and she immediately was so loving and affectionate to our dog. She kept us updated through the day so we had a completely worry free trip, and we’d highly recommend her! Thankyou Sarah”
“Lisa made such a wonderful effort ahead of our booking to make sure we were comfortable with her setup and asked loads of questions equally to make sure Boo was the right fit. Lisa was incredibly reassuring, friendly and professional. It’s so nerve wracking leaving your doggo for the first time and Lisa made sure we felt informed with updates and photos. Cannot recommend her enough from a person POV and also a home set up! The garden is enclosed and a great size, and Lisa is super close to some brilliant walking routes - thanks so much for making us feel so relaxed ☺️”
“Totally amazing, Mac loves being there and gets excited before I drop him off and is really tired when I pick him up from all the activities through the day. Would recommend Jade to everyone 🥳”
About: I grew up with lots of animals like a tiny farm and since going to university, I have missed it :( I always go to my family house where there is 5 cats, 2 goldens and 10 chickens and 1 rabbit. May sound like a lot but there is never a moment of boredom. I work in Boston, 8:30-17:00 Monday to Friday. Please take that into consideration when booking me as it doesn’t not let me edit my work schedule into the app. Anytime after 17:30, if you want your dog walking I would be happy too. I really enjoy going on walks with dogs. I have a fenced garden and love going on walks. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture so they have many places to venture and relax :)
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Bradley as our pet-sitter for our Maltipoo puppy, Theo. From the start, Bradley's genuine passion for animals was evident, and he quickly established a comforting connection with Theo. Throughout the day, Bradley went the extra mile, regularly sending us delightful photo updates that showcased Theo's joyful time under his care. The highlight was undoubtedly Theo's playdate with Bradley's own dog, Lincoln, providing our pup with a wonderful companion. Thank you, Bradley, for making Theo's day so special!”
About: I’ve had lots of experience looking after my own dogs and cared for dogs for friends and family. I currently have a lively 3 year old Springer Cocker Spaniel cross called Hector who I’ve raised from being a puppy. I’ve previously cared for dogs with special health needs, and will work around any requirements you’ve got for your four legged friends. I also used to have 3 horses who required a lot of care and attention, and used to work on a yard at weekends looking after people’s horses. I know how important it is to stick to each animals needs and schedule. I work from home so I’m always around for toilet breaks and lunchtime walks. My availability is usually Monday-Friday but weekends are possible if given notice. I have one dog and no other pets at home. Hector is a lovely boy and loves to go on walks with other dogs, and we go out walking together every day. I live in a quiet area with an enclosed garden and we will make your dog feel right at home!
“Rupert loved his time spent with Kane. Kane listened to all the things I had told him about Rupert and went out of his way to make him feel calm and safe and also put my mind at rest with an update. Will definitely use him again”
About: If friends and family need someone to take care of their beloved pets while they’re away, I’m the go to person! I am an animal lover and what better way to spend my free time than with new furry friends. I am a reliable, approachable and trustworthy person who gets lots of happiness from spending time with animals. I am currently working fully remote so I have a lot of free time to play with! I am very flexible and also available most days. I am very flexible in terms of looking after your pets to the way you prefer. This is something that will be communicated before I look after your pet so I know exactly how you wish for me to take care of them which suits you/them.
“Gerrard has been looking after our Lexi and we couldn’t ask for more. Keeps us updated regularly and takes her for lovely long walks. Clearly loves dogs and offers the 1-1 personal care that most doggy day care services don’t. Thank you G! X”
“Angeliki has been a complete angel and taken care of our very anxious rescue dog, brilliantly. Super reliable, and flexible, very caring, she's taken him out for lovely walks in the fields and had him chilling out by the fire with calming music, sends regular photos and updates. Thank you ❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Boston on Rover is £27.03 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 .
There are 273 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Boston. About 87% of Boston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 collection to match your Boston commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
Sitters in East Midlands may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
