“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Mochi with a sitter. Jason was so responsive from the start. He sent lots of photos and it was evident he’s a pro! Mochi had a great day!! I would recommend him everytime! Thank you again!”
“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
“You can tell that Maranda is very attentive and cares about the pooches, and Benny loves her! She has a big backyard with lots of playthings that dogs can run around in, especially with all the snow! Other customers appear to like her too since there have another dog or three that she’s watching whenever I drop Benny off. I like that Benny can play with other dogs (and her daughters!) without the chaos of a commercial daycare center. Maranda also sends pictures throughout the day which put my concerned parent heart at ease. I booked daycare with Maranda twice last week and dropped off Benny again today. Five star complements and no complaints. Chalk me up as a returning client.”
About: I used to have a Shih-tzu named Eris who was a very sweet girl with lots of energy. I currently look after a French Bulldog from time to time who I absolutely love. I like working with small dogs/lap dogs but I can work with bigger dogs too. I work from home, and I have plenty of time to play with your dog or take them on walks. I spend most of my day ar my desk, and I would welcome the extra encouragement to go outside and take the dog for a walk. I live with two other family members who love dogs, so your dog will never go without attention. If your dog is small, then I will happily let them sit on my bed while I work, and I'll reach over to give them pets whenever they want. Larger dogs are welcome to lie in a dog bed by my desk, or downstairs on the couch with me.
“They watched my Roxie last minute! I was very anxious but after getting the first picture it all went away. This is the first time Roxie was without family & they said she did well. I’m glad they enjoyed her. We appreciate the last minute help and will be using again soon (:”
“Shona and her family were amazing! Our dogs have never been to daycare and never boarded, but they loved it. Shona sent pictures and kept us updated. One of our dogs is afraid of everything, but she was happy and comfortable enough to nap on their sofa. And Shona was not even upset that we arrived early and woke her up, lol! We will definitely be repeat customers when the need arises. We would recommend Shona to anyone.”
“Kristin is amazing! She responds quickly, sends the cutest picture updates, and our pups were very well taken care of (and had lots of fun). It was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad to have chosen Kristin - her professionalism and clear love for animals put me at ease quickly, and I would highly recommend!”
“Ena and Daniel watched my pup on very short notice today- which I appreciated immensely! My little girl is very skittish and I was worried that she wouldn’t interact but it was just the opposite- within 15 minutes of me dropping her off they posted pictures of her on their laps, drinking water and hanging out with their dog it made my stressful day so much better! I will definitely be using them again!”
“Amanda took great care of our mini poodle Lily. She sent lovely photos and videos of Lily enjoying her backyard. She was accommodating when we needed to drop off earlier than expected. Would recommend for your pets needs!”
“Sandy loved to go to Kim's home every morning. He enjoyed the loving care of Kim and family and the company of sweet and friendly Nala. I am glad I found Kim on Rover. I had to drive long hours to NJ for work several days. Kim and family took care of very playful "toddler" Sandy with patience.”
About: I don't have any crazy special certifications or experience but I have loved dogs, my entire life I had a beagle growing up names snickers.. i was young but I swear that was the most stubborn dog ever. Due to school and work, I was not able to get my own.Dog until I was in my 30s. Izzy is my ride or die soul dog. For the last 5 years, I have been fostering and volunteering with various rescues in the area. When I have some downtime. But day to day i am a working professional single dog mom seeking additional puppy play dates... for me and my pup Izzy. I honestly just do rover on the side as an excuse to get off my behind and play with some local fur friends but also for my pup Izzy to get out bc she is sick of me now that I wfh full time unless i have business trip. Depending on your location or needs I am happy to schedule my day accordingly for walks, stop ins, etc. - at the end of the day very flexible with sufficient notice or schedule permitting within 5 mile radius from east norriton. I can only board or house sit if our dogs get along so reach out for a meet n greet. Walks/check ins I can do solo. In the summer of 2026 i started a new job working from 100% unless traveling. Need accountabilibudies to. Help me step away from desk through the day. Also could use some extra money to cover my own dog care for when I need to travel for work Important to assess the needs of all dogs during a meet and greet prior to the first visit. When I am out and about the dogs are always leashed. If I have a dog staying with me, I never leave then out with my dog.I would separate them with a crate or a bedroom door. i would also feed separately
“Margaret and her family are so welcoming and accommodating! I’m so glad I found such a great daycare option so close to my office. Minnie comes home tired in the best way and I know she had so much fun while with Margaret. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with my puppy. She and her husband took the time to get to know us through a thoughtful meet‑and‑greet. Jessica then followed up with clear communication, made sure I felt completely comfortable before the booking, and ensured all details of the day were clear. Throughout the day, she sent regular updates and the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Jessica genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. My puppy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well‑loved. I would absolutely book with Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly caring sitter.”
“Rachel is living and caring with our Puppy! I enjoy getting the snapshots and videos of them playing or walking together. It is such a comfort knowing that he is with Rachel and loved and cared for when i am away on business. He absolutely loves being with Rachel and has made himself super comfortable in her home!”
“Houston is a very particular, somewhat fearful and needy little angel whom Alessandra was able to provide just the right environment for. After each visit, he came home happy, healthy and tired! When I dropped him off at the bigger daycare centers in the area, he would be shaking before we even walked in the door. He cried when I left him and he was so stressed and overwhelmed when I picked him up, he would take long trauma naps through dinner and breakfast the next day. In Alessandra's home, he is able to roam and lay wherever, whenever; he gets plenty of walks and enjoys her backyard. More importantly (for him), he has a limited number of playmates, so he can avoid the burnout and feeling of being overwhelmed and there is plenty of space to take a break as needed. This intimate environment seems to do much better for him and we are very appreciative of the love Alessandra shows Houston. We get lots of photos and updates every day. I find Alessandra to be very flexible, communicative and easy to talk to. We won't be looking elsewhere unless she is fully booked!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,498 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Worcester. 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 Worcester 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 PA 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 2,498 sitters in Worcester, 88% 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.
