“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 was great with Pepper! He was able to take care of her on short notice and was very flexible when I needed to change the pickup time from noon to 5 p.m. Pepper came back happy and it definitely looked like she had a great time with him. Really appreciate Ben’s help and flexibility!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lee was really fantastic with August. He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and even some videos of August which I really appreciated. Highly recommend Lee if you're in the Worcester area and I will definitely be rebooting with him next time I'm in tbr stra.”
About: Hi, we're Kavita and Saunak! We love dogs and have a lot of experience with them from helping socialize dogs at a doggy daycare to fostering and now caring for our own two dogs, Mocha and Orbit. We have lots of experience with nervous and anxious dogs as well as dogs that just need to burn some energy. We’ve used Rover for our own dogs too, so we know what it’s like to trust someone else with your pup. We really try to provide the kind of care, communication, and peace of mind we’d want for Mocha and Orbit. Kavita works from home full-time and Saunak has a flexible schedule, so we’re able to give our guests plenty of attention throughout the day. Mocha and Orbit also love having new friends visit, but we have the space to separate dogs when needed. We’re excited to get to know your dog and their routine so we can make their stay as comfortable, fun, and home-like as possible! I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule. This means I can accommodate most schedules and make time for frequent walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day! We live in a residential area with a fenced in yard, so your pup can have frequent outside trips. I also work from home full-time, so your dog is never left unattended. And our two pup love to greet and play with new dogs but they can also be separated if needed.
About: Hello! I'm a Health and Nutrition Coach for humans and soon, animals. I'm currently studying animal health and nutrition and am pursuing advanced training and certification as a dog/cat nutritionist. I offer FREE pick up and drop off to Arlington dogs or within a 2 mile radius of my house. I live directly across from the newly opened dog park in Arlington, if that's something you think your dog might enjoy. I offer 1 hr. park visits to those who live nearby (within a 2 mile radius of Parallel Park). You can book a 1 hour visit in the dog walking section. I will pick up your dog, bring them to the park and bring them home. It's a nice place to go if your dog could use a little more exercise and might like to run around with other dogs or play fetch. If the park is too busy or the dogs don't seem like a good fit for your dog, we'll take a long walk along the river path instead. I generally do my coaching from home and walk about 10 dogs a week midday, in which case, I may be out of the house for a few hours M-F. This allows me to give the dogs staying with me lots of attention. I have a 3 year old Frenchton (1/2 French Bulldog, 1/2 Boston Terrier) named Maisy who is well socialized and loves most dogs. I can accommodate housesitting requests that allow Maisy to join me, after we ensure everyone gets on well. I will suggest we do a meet and greet in a neutral location for both housesitting and boarding -- maybe take a walk or let them run around in the park to see how they get along. Boarding can be a little stressful, especially when they first arrive. I always try and meet them where they are to be sure they have whatever time and space they may need to get acclimated to their new environment. I have a private suite for anyone that might like a safe space to themselves. I've used it to host seniors, dogs who have medical challenges as well as shy and senior cats. It's a large space with comfy beds, a big chaise lounge where they can look out the windows and it's bright and cheerful. I often do my morning work in there and will snuggle up with whoever is interested. I'm always interested in your pets quirks--and what I may be able to do to help them get comfortable quickly. I'd be grateful for any *pro tips* you have to ensure we get off to a great start together! I generally take 1-2 dogs at a time so they get lots of attention and I can customize their care. This is not a kennel environment. I do occasionally will take an extra dog here and there over the holidays and busy summer weekends. I included pics of my home in the photo gallery. I have a guest bedroom where dogs can sleep on the bed and stretch out, if they prefer. I have a nice sunroom that is all windows and has a comfy chaise lounge for long afternoon naps. I have a fireplace and love to keep my home calm and cozy on winter evenings. If your dog is crate trained, I have a medium size crate that I can set up for anyone who prefers it. It will hold a dog up to 45 lbs. You can also bring your own. I can only host dogs that get along well with other dogs and have a naturally calm demeanor. I can not take barkers. I live in an active neighborhood with a playground and dog park across the street. There are kids and dogs in and out all day and the dogs in my home can see them from the windows. There is lots of activity, the house's are close together and I have a very quiet upstairs neighbor. I want to respect and protect everyone's peace around me and not cause problems. If your dog sits at the window and barks at everything outside, they will likely be too overstimulated at my place and are probably not a good fit for boarding. I'd be happy to watch them at your house! ABOUT HOUSESITTING: If I am hired to housesit your pets, I'm happy to take care of your plants, water your garden and even feed your chicken's -- it's all included. I will also have Maisy with me, so I can only accommodate dogs/cats that will tolerate her. She is 3 and loves to play, eat and nap. We have housesat a fair amount and she seems to communicate well with other dogs. If they're not into her, she usually gets it after some dog to dog communication and will just leave them be. If they want to play, she will be thrilled to play. She's pretty good at reading the room and she will correct a dog that tries to hump her! I have a flexible schedule. I do most of my coaching from home and walk about 10 dogs a week. I do my best to respond to all requests within an hour until about 9, when I often turn off the tech til morning. If I respond to you and am available, please let me know *either way* whether you are interested. Rover holds the space in our calendar and we often can't accept other booking opportunities until we hear back from you. Thank you! I recommend a meet and greet in advance of me caring for your pet(s). I want to be sure that we are a good fit and the more information I have, the easier and more smoothly things will likely go. If I am caring for a pet in my home or yours, they generally have the run of the place, unless, of course, that would mess up your hard earned training. I take my lead from you and would greatly appreciate clear instructions on caring for your dog or cat to make sure he/she has a great overall experience with me. I generally feed dogs from different families separately regardless of a dogs temperament. I have a "no bones" policy if there are dogs from different families sharing a house together. From lots of experience, I've seen the most sweet, submissive dogs turn into little monsters if another dog attempts to steal their bone or try and eat their food. I work on prevention of those types of behaviors. If you want your dog crated during various times of the day or night, I have crates and can accommodate your dog. If they're not allowed on the beds or furniture, I understand and will keep the same rules. If they like nothing better than snuggling with you on the couch in the evening, that won't change either.
“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.”

About: I have had dogs in my house since I was 12, currently we have two 13 year old beagles.

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.

Carmen did a great job with Finn! She took him for multiple walks throughout the day and took him to some nice spots. He enjoyed playing with the other dogs she cared for. She was also very responsive and easy to coordinate pickup and drop off with. We will book again when needed!
Ben was great with Pepper! He was able to take care of her on short notice and was very flexible when I needed to change the pickup time from noon to 5 p.m. Pepper came back happy and it definitely looked like she had a great time with him. Really appreciate Ben’s help and flexibility!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in West Medford on Rover is $45.5 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 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 2,936 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.
