“Cardinal had so much fun at his small-dog play date!! I appreciated that Betsy took time for a thoughtful meet and greet so that I was sure he would feel comfortable! I was very happy that he could enjoy time outside of his crate with other dogs in a warm and caring environment! Will definitely book again!!”
“Ben and his family took great care of Zelda and were very accommodating of our busy schedule. She came home happy and well exercised from playing with their pups all day. We will definitely book with Ben again!”
“Cheuck was so great with my dog Annie! I left my dog with Cheuck during the day while I was at work. He shared pictures and kept me updated regularly! I highly recommend Cheuck.”
“My dog Bojji had such a great time! He was taken care of so well and he had so much fun he didn’t want to leave. He had so much fun he was wonderfully tired and went into a deep sleep when we came home!”
“Deveney took great care of our dog, and she kindly accommodated a last minute booking and a later night pick up which was most appreciated! She sent great updates and pictures regularly and was quickly responsive.”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo genuinely love Fitzgerald. Their home is loving and they are kind, communicative, and considerate dog lovers. We love visiting them cause Fitzgerald always wags his tail extra hard during drop offs, and comes home happy as can be. Anyone looking for a loving pair to watch their pup would be lucky to have them say yes!”
About: We’re a warm, dog-loving family in East Arlington offering a cozy, calm home for dogs to stay. We’ve cared for family and friends’ pets for years, and our 8-year-old daughter Ella is a gentle animal lover who loves joining in walks and cuddles. We work from home, have a fenced backyard, and host just one household at a time so your pup gets full attention. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge, or stick to a routine, we’re ready to make them feel at home! We work from home full time and walk to school each morning and afternoon—built-in walks for your dog! We’re available for boarding most weekends and weekdays with plenty of flexibility, especially during the day. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will be surrounded by people who truly enjoy their company. We have a private yard for outdoor time and will tailor your dog’s environment based on their needs—whether they’re crate-trained or free-range, active or mellow. Our home is calm, with no other pets, and we only accept one dog or family at a time to ensure your pup feels secure and cared for. We’re happy to follow any feeding, medication, or sleep instructions you provide.
About: I provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for every dog. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and large breeds, including Golden Retrievers. I understand the importance of maintaining each dog’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I will treat your dog like a member of my own family and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am responsible, patient, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind with regular updates and photos. I study Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and I am home for the rest of the day. On weekends, I am usually home all day, so I have plenty of time to provide attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs and make sure they receive the care and love they deserve. I live with my boyfriend in a house, and we have a friendly 5-month-old Golden Retriever who loves being around other dogs. He sleeps in our bedroom with us and is treated like a member of our family. Every morning, he lets us know when he needs to go outside. Before we leave for class, we make sure he has fresh food and water, and we leave a puppy pad available in case he needs it while we’re away for a few hours. As soon as we get home, we take him for a walk, play with him, and spend quality time together. We also have a big backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. We regularly take our dog to the park, the lake, and even the beach because he loves the water and being outdoors. Since it’s just the three of us at home, we can give every dog plenty of attention, love, playtime, and care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy, just like they do at home.
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.
“Jack did amazing with our 8mo pup Basil. We were pretty nervous to leave him with a sitter for the first time, but Jack was great! We got pictures of Basil during his stay, and when we got back to pick him up it was clear he had a great time. After a quick hello he just wanted to keep playing with Jack!”
“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!”
“Andrew couldn't have been better. Our *very energetic puppy had a great day--and Andrew took Jerry out on many many walks. It was last minute to book Andrew and he is truly a dog person--competent and terrific. He also kept me updated. Your dog will be safe and have a wonderful time with Andrew.”
About: I love taking care of dogs and just hanging out with them. I work full-time onsite so I am only available after or before work hours to take them on walks and for stay over. However my husband works from home who also loves dog to keep them company during the day! I have a full time onsite job so I am not available during the day however my husband works from home so he is available. I love going for walks or runs in the mornings/ evenings before/ after work so I can take your dogs on walks as well. I love playing with them, and can give them a lot of attention. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment without a yard so, I can only take care of small dogs. They have plenty of places to roam around in the apartment. There is also a dog park and a 2.5mile loop near me where i can take them for playtimes and walks.
“My cat had a wonderful day with Mia and Taowei and returned happily exhausted. They are very attentive and kept me updated all day, and their house has many great windows and shelves that are perfect for a curious cat. Thanks for taking him in!”
About: I'm an experienced dog-sitter and equestrian who's able to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. I work from home and am able to provide specified care for your pup while you're away, including: frequent walks, hikes in local conservation areas, and the administration of medications. I supervise dogs closely, can provide basic veterinary care, and live near an emergency veterinary office, just in case. I have my own dog in the home. When your dog is with me, they'll be cared for like my own with plenty of exercise, socialization, and love. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. I currently walk and feed my own dog at 7:00am, noonish, 5:00pm, and 9:30pm. I can provide numerous walks for your dog each day during the week, and will take them local "adventures" on the weekends to local parks, Middlesex Fells Reservation, etc. My own dog is friendly and playful, and will keep your pet company.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Medford
Susan was able to watch Max on short notice, responded to me super quickly when I submitted the request, and took wonderful care of Max! She sent me pictures throughout the day and my mind was at ease knowing he was having a great time. It is so comforting knowing he was well taken care of!! Thanks so much Susan!
Ejin was great! Even though she’ll be moving soon, she was kind enough to help us while we search for a long-term daycare sitter. She sent us photos throughout Mochi’s stay, and it looked like Mochi was able to relax and get some good rest at her place. Mochi was very calm and content when she returned home. We really appreciated Ejin’s care and communication.
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.
Janette and her family, including their dog Luna, are so wonderful to our dog, Lenny. She is so kind and communicative! Lenny loves spending time with them and going for walks in their beautiful neighborhood. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog!
Elizabeth and Rodrigo were great with Oscar. They were flexible when I needed to shift my drop-off and pickup times, which made my day so much easier. They sent a few photos throughout the day too, which I always love getting. Oscar came home tired and happy, so he clearly had a good time. Would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thanks you two!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in West Medford on Rover is $46 per day (as of August 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 West Medford 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 2,988 sitters in West Medford, 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.
