Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.

My dog, Bea had an amazing time with Sean and his dog, Remy. It’s not easy to leave your puppy in someone else’s hands but I could tell Bea had a blast from the photo and video updates and by dragging me towards his house on her 2nd time over. Look forward to more visits!

Daisy had a great day with Stef! Stef met with us in advance to meet Daisy and learn about her daily routine and requirements. She made it very easy to drop Daisy off and pick her up and also sent a few pictures during the day. Stef took her out for three walks, one of them was a car ride away from Stef's home which was an adventure for Daisy. It was almost hard to get Daisy into the car as she didn't want to leave. Daisy was so tired that night and into the next day, but was very happy. We are looking forward to having Stef take care of her again!

About: I have had dogs almost my entire life. I have been pet sitting on dog vacay and rover for the last several years , before my dog Dora passed away two years when she was 14 years of age. I stopped pet sitting , and was grieving for a while. I am now ready to get back to dog sitting , and want to experience joy of pets again, even if on a temporary basis. I have two children , 8 and 4, and they have been exposed to dogs and cats until recently . We want to have a chance to play with doggies again, and love them! At the moment I am unemployed, and home with my 4 year old. A dog would easily fit in our daily routine, as the dog parents require. I live in a condo association, on the third floor. I do not have a yard, but I will be able to walk your doggie.

Frankie had a blast with David, Betsy and the dogs. When we got home that evening she went straight to her bed, worn out from a full day of playing. They have a great setup in their backyard with plenty of space, obstacles, and toys to keep the dogs happy. David and Betsy look after dogs as if they were their own and take care of individual needs of each dog.

About: Hi! I’m Dylan, and I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. I’ve cared for the pets of friends and family over the years, so I’m comfortable around different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve also had pets of my own, including a dog, and I’d love to have a dog of my own again someday. Until then, I’m excited to give your pets plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care! I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual routine. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means a long walk, some playtime, keeping them company, or simply giving them a quiet place to relax, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule while I’m searching for a job, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and spending time with pets. I’m able to work pet care into my weekly routine while giving each pet the attention they deserve. Once I start a new job, I’ll make sure my availability stays up to date and only take bookings I can fully commit to. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences their pet has. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I’m also happy to spend extra time playing, giving cuddles, or simply keeping a pet company if that’s what they enjoy. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and let them set the pace. Most importantly, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

Tomoe was awesome taking care of my rescue Mello. Not only did she squeeze me on a late request but also was able to accommodate a meet and greet in such a short span of time to make sure that Mello got along with her dog Max. This was important to me since it's one of my first times leaving Mello with a caregiver that owned a dog and this meant Tomoe truly cared about the mental wellbeing of the dog she watches as well as her own. She was super responsive to texts and reliably sent pictures and videos of Mello throughout the entire day which made me feel so at ease that Mello was having a good time and felt safe! She reliably took and sent pictures of their walks and activities such as car rides, her kids playing and interacting with him, etc and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I would definitely book her again and would recommend her!

We had to book someone to watch our dog last minute while we had an appointment nearby and Eri was available. Our dog seemed to enjoy his time with her and she sent photos and updates that reassured us that our dog was in good hands. If we’re in the area again and in need of a sitter, we’d definitely reach out to Eri again. Thank you for watching Koda last minute and I’m glad he had a good time! 😊

Jie and her son Ethan were amazing! Snoopy loved both of them and enjoyed going there. He met them once for the meet and greet, and when we went back to leave him there, he ran to the house and ran right in. He made himself at home. When we came to pick him up, he was very happy and well taken care of!

Brianna was great! She dog-sat for Juno, our 8 year-old Bernedoodle, in our home for 10 days. She came by for a meet and greet a few days beforehand to get the lay of the land and meet Juno. Bri is a great communicator , which gave us comfort, as we were leaving our dog and house with someone we only recently met (albeit with excellent references). We got lots of pics and updates, and our home was immaculate upon our return. Very professional. Will hire again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - West Newton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in West Newton on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of August 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 .

As of August 2026, there are 3,106 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across West Newton. 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 West Newton 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 3,106 sitters in West Newton, 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.
