“Tomoe was fantastic. Really went above and beyond to help my dog adjust to a new environment as this was my dog’s first visit to her house. Great communication throughout the day with updates on how things were going with lot of pics as well. Highly recommend Tomoe!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs for over 2 decades and continue to love doing so. Love taking dogs for walks, going to dog parks, etc. Can accommodate most special care requests. Happy to stay the night at your place, or if your dog is social, have her/him over at mine. I have an Alaskan Klee Kai who is 5 years old, 16 pounds, and well-socialized. I’m currently working part time (middle of the day) and will have lots of time to take care of your fur babies. For home visits, I can typically do 7:30-10am, 3-5pm, 7-11pm, but I make arrangements outside of these times with advanced notice. I have a big yard that my dog enjoys. It is not fenced in but we can use a long leash so dogs can run around, play fetch, and explore.
“Ling & Ye took great care of our pup, Truffles! They sent a lot of photos throughout the day and kept us posted. They also took Truffles for multiple rounds of walks.”
“Onyx had a great day at daycare with Julie! I received pictures throughout the day and updates on how his day went. I will definitely use Julie again in the future! Thank you!”
“Shuhua took great care of my high energy border collie Jasper! She got him a lot of exercise and had great communication. Can’t recommend her enough”
“Rowley had a great day with Ismael and came home very tired from playing all day. Ismael was super easy to communicate with and very helpful (as this was our first Rover experience). Great all around.”
“We had the best experience with Alex - our dog loved him and he was very accommodating, his property is great for dogs. He went above and beyond and we are looking forward to our next visit. Alex was a great guy to meet!”
About: As a work-from-home mom who grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and birds, I miss having animals around! Our home is currently pet-free, so I am looking for furry friends to break up my workday with cuddles and exercise. Once school is out, my three kids (ages 12, 10, and 10) are always ready to jump in for backyard play and high-energy fun. I offer attentive drop-in visits and walks in the Newton area and we ready to welcome your pet into our family for walks, play, and endless cuddles. As a work-from-home parent with a very flexible schedule, I can offer your pup the attention and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday sunshine break for some Vitamin D or a cozy spot by my desk while I work, your dog will never be lonely. In the afternoons, my kids love joining in for our neighborhood walks, making it a fun, social experience for any pup who enjoys a little extra energy and play! Your dog’s safety is my absolute priority! We live in a spacious first-floor condo in a quiet Newton neighborhood, which makes for quick and easy access to the outdoors—no stairs or elevators to navigate! We live in a pet free house, so your fur baby will get the attention they deserve. We have a large backyard where your pup can enjoy supervised playtime and stretch their legs throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am physically present at all times. When my kids join us for afternoon walks or play sessions, I am always 100% hands-on and supervising to ensure every interaction is gentle and safe for both the dog and the children. Our home is a calm, smoke-free environment where your pet will be treated like a member of the family. I am happy to follow any specific safety protocols or feeding routines you have to keep your pup’s schedule consistent and stress-free.
About: I wonder what my dog named me..... WELCOME to my profile! I am a Jersey Gal who relocated to Boston and am looking to make some new pawed friends! But, how do you know if we're a good match? Well..... Does your pup like to: Netflix and Chill on the couch? -Perfect! I have a cozy leather sectional couch, a lounge chair, and plenty of blankets to cuddle up and just relax in the house. That's so FETCH! -Regina George was wrong, fetch is totally going to happen! I live in an area with several parks (dog parks, &green space) where I can exercise, throw a frisbee or ball, and socialize pups of all shapes and sizes! But I always say ...1's company, 2's a crowd && 3's a PARTY! -The apartment has a reasonable amount of space and can accommodate a couple of dogs. (preferably small dogs, if multiple). I live with my husband, a fellow dog lover, and out 11/mo good girl, so your animal will get lots of pets, belly rubs, attention & playtime! *I guarantee we're not stingy on the treats either. You know.... for all the whoozagood boys&girls! * My apartment is two stories with a back patio for an easy out and a deck on the second floor where they can enjoy the fresh air (supervised) of course! Some notes about me: I work a full time 9-5 Monday thru Friday hybrid position and home 90% of the time. My husband also works hybrid too. If I have to travel, I may be out of the house for 5-6 hours. Prior experience includes: -Taking care of my family dog, Monte (or as I call Meatball) a pleasantly plump American Staffordshire Terrier mix before moving and Jersey (like the cow and my home state) the most laid-back American bully/Land Manatee -Prior dog walking & sitting for a Canine Concierge service The Daily Skoop. -Volunteer work for Trained and Maintained a 501c non-profit dedicated to providing trained service dogs and ongoing support for various disabilities.

I currently work full-time from home, and while I have phone calls and meetings to attend, my own dog is always nearby getting attention like play, and pets, and a treat or two. With her, she receives at least 2 walks a day around the neighborhood and a minimum of 2 miles (10,000 steps guaranteed) We have a deck on the on the second floor, and fenced patio on our first floor that allows a breath of fresh air for the pups. we enjoy sitting out there in the nice weather and so do the dogs. we have gates for our steps, and a crate if needed but your dogs monitored and in safe hands in our home.
“What an incredible and warm-hearted dog mom!! Thank you for taking such great care of my Chico while I was at work and for being so flexible with my schedule!”

“Kayla took wonderful care of Morty during daycare. She was very kind, gentle, and attentive to him, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would happily trust her with Morty again!”
“Debbie went above and beyond for us. She spent plenty of time acclimating our 4 mo puppy to her home and dogs for his first daycare session. We received pics and updates during his stay. Our dog had a great supervised socialization session with Debbie and other dogs, and had a chance to gain confidence in staying with others. Will definitely use her as a sitter again!”

“Dan and Rossi took such wonderful care of my precious Morty! Every little detail was handled with so much thoughtfulness, from warming his food to the perfect temperature to giving him treats, lots of pets, and even a nice brushing. Morty received so much love and gentle attention throughout the day, and their thoughtful updates gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that he felt comfortable, happy, and completely pampered. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Dan and Rossi and wouldn’t hesitate to leave Morty in their care again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wellesley
Sana has been great for my little Havanese. She adapted to his needs, showed up fully during a stressful time (we just moved and I started a new job) for him, and we found the best ways to keep him calm. She asked about his specific needs and has been flexible and available. Very grateful, and I definitely recommend her.
Tomoe was a wonderful daysitter for our dog, and clearly cares anout the individual needs of each pet. She was very communicative and gave Cedar everything he needed. We will be leaving him for an extended trip soon, and his day with Tomoe and her family was the perfect introduction to his upcoming adventures with them.
Juyeon was such a pleasure! She was always quick to respond and was very thorough when asking about Lili’s needs. She sent many updates during the day about Lili and reassured me that she was doing well while I was gone. I will be using Juyeon in the future when I need someone to watch Lili!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Wellesley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Wellesley is $52 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $64 per day. On Rover, 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.
As of October 2026, there are 3,173 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Wellesley. 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 Wellesley 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.
As of October 2026, there are 3,173 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.

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.
