About: I've been taking care of dogs, cats, and basically any animal pet you could think of since I was 7 reliable family and I would say. Also I have fostered about five dogs since moving out of my parents house. I love that I can provide a loving, caring, and comfortable environment for any pet. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a currently stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet in my care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, or simply providing companionship, I can be consistent and attentive throughout the day. I understand how important it is to stick to each pet’s normal routine, so I’ll do my best to follow your instructions and schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before providing care. I’ll carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules (if needed), exercise routines, and any other preferences you have for your pet. I believe in building trust with every animal by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to become comfortable at their own pace. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Thank you Eileen Finley just loves you and we appreciate everything you do you have been there in a pinch and we can’t Thank You enough You are a true life saver you care for your 4 legged furry guests like they were your own and that’s the difference and Finley knows it! We will be returning again! Eileen is the BEST! ❤️🐕🦺🐾🤩”

“Great and I intend to return! Our fur babies got along very well. She took very good care of mine even though hers didn't feel that well. He was still feeling his trip to the vet. I highly recommend!”

About: I do offer boarding at my farm. I only take up to 2 dogs at a time. We do a few walks everyday around the 8 acres. They get plenty of yard time. Every dog gets a specialized program with me and one Free training session. Does your animal need meds? No problem. If I can syringe a horse, I can handle a cat or dog (and have) I also LOVE cats. I have had a many cats in the last 28 years. House cats, barn cats, baby cats, old cats. I currently have 2 cats that were ring worm kittens from Paws. I finished up their treatment and adopted them. I can wrangle a barn cat that’s 1/2 feral to go to the vet or get it’s flea/tick meds. Don’t count me out if you have cats! They like me as much as I like them! I have taken care of pretty much any house pet from rats, to ferrets, parrots and snakes. I have had many tropical fish tanks too. Horses, cats and dogs are not my limits. As long as I’m not previously booked, I will be able to accommodate you. It never hurts to ask. I try to stay pretty close to home so I can fit in as many visits as possible but I do have great transportation. I keep safety in mind at all times. I am always aware when I’m walking a dog and will not let them mingle with other dogs or people. I always make sure water is fresh and plentiful. I am very cautious to avoid and loose animals. Your pets health and care are my career and my number one concerns.
About: I have had a family pet (cats, dogs, fish) my whole life and have pet sit for friends and family as well! I also am a foster for a local cat adoption non profit. I work from home, and have the ability to keep your furry family company throughout the day and ensure frequent breaks to go for walks and get outside as needed. We have a big fenced backyard that is perfect for playing and exploring! We also live on a dead end street with sidewalks, perfect for safe and quiet walks outdoors.
About: I can walk dogs and do house visits any time before during the week. I work in the medical field at a High School full-time. I have always had a passion for caring and helping others. I know what it is like to be a pet parent and would want someone to take care of my cat (current) or dog(current) in the same way that I would when I needed it. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet in the same way that you do, then look no further. I have pristine listening skills and want to make sure all of the things you ask me to do for your pet are done. I grew up owning and caring for cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and hamsters and love them all. I always go out of my way to say hi to furry friends and help any that are in need. I regularly donate to my local animal shelter and volunteer to care for my family members' pets. I am open to boarding your pet at my house, house visits, walking, and house sitting. I currently own a senior cat who is very friendly towards other animals and I am able to keep her separated from your pet if need be. I also have a dog friendly and cat friendly dog that would also be kept separate. I can’t wait to meet you and your family pet! This summer I have apple free time to help you with your pet care needs! I teach one class at a local college 3 days a week so I am available before and after my class and on the other days. I have a fully fenced in yard that is 6ft+ tall. I keep the yard meticulously clean and free of hazards as I have my own dog. I am very observant and aware. I always think ahead when it comes to my furry friends.
About: I am very good with dogs, because I pay attention to their body language. Dogs communicate through their eyes, body and barks. Similar to a person using sign language. Most communication is non-verbal and I definitely pay attention and make sure I treat every furry friend with respect and love. Dogs have feelings and like to socialize in healthy environments and that is what they will get with me as your dog sitter and / or dog walker. I will take your dog walking, I will check-in on your dog and play ball or tug of war with them, if that is what they like to do, I will provide water refills and food refills, even mix food upon request and follow instructions specific to your dog's need. I like to take dogs to the park, go jogging with dogs, belly rubs, hugs and playful affection. I like making dogs feel important, so they know they matter. This way, they feel happy and fulfilled while you are working or away on vacation, or away for that day or moment running errands. I am currently an entrepreneur. Trying to start my own pet business. Served, previously in the United States Air Force. Used to have an emotional support dog for 14 years who is no longer with us due to old age and health problems. That was my peace and joy who helped me through difficult times in my life. I actually feel happy spending time with dogs. Running with dogs, playing ball with dogs, training dogs, walking dogs, dog sitting and playing, cuddles and hugs! I make dogs feel important because they are our fur babies who deserve the best life can give them! I will give your dog fresh water, food, medication; if necessary, pay attention to their body language to figure out what they need from me to feel more comfortable and supported. If you have instructions or a routine I will follow those set of guidelines. I will keep all owners well informed with updated photos and possible videos on how their fur babies are doing! If they need a bathing that is extra, but I will clean your dog thoroughly after playtime. If, you want me to take your dog to the park, I love doing walks and runs in the park with your fur baby! Get all the extra energy out, so when you come home they are well satisfied and content. I have a house and a yard. Yard is not fully fenced in yet, but currently working towards fixing it or getting a new fence. My house is dog proof to keep all fur babies safe and happy, but there are always other options available to keep your dog as comfortable as possible. Depending on the service you hire me for pertaining to your pet.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment we met them, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and take their responsibility seriously. Our dog can be a bit shy with new people, but they was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive—quickly building a bond of trust and comfort. Throughout the time we were away, we received regular updates, including photos and thoughtful messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that our dog wasn’t just being looked after, but truly cared for. We came home to a very happy, relaxed dog, which speaks volumes about their professionalism. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a dedicated and compassionate sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend to others. Thank you, for treating our dog like family!”


“Donna is such an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time leaving my dog with a dog sitter, so I was a bit nervous but Donna is very thorough and knowledgeable about dog needs. She knows what is normal and abnormal so I felt comfortable leaving him with her. She also has a strategy to minimize stress for the dog during hand off and plays calming music when he first went in the house. I will definitely use her again if I need. She also sends pics which makes me feel reassured.”

“John watched my 4 dogs for the day and he was great! Communication was clear and quick. He sent me picture updates throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him if you need someone to watch your dogs.”

About: I am a Fear Free pet sitter and dog walker. I volunteer at my local animal shelters and foster dogs. I am an advocate for all animals. I am a teacher with summers off which gives me all summer to love on and care for fur babies. I will be available part time during the school year. If doggy day care is what you need, please be advised that anything beyond 9 hours an additional charge will be applied. My home is doggy ready. Although I currently do not have pets of my own since the passing of my dogs, I usually have a foster dog in my home. I have multiple areas to keep your fur babies, so if your baby is not dog friendly, I can accommodate. I have multiple crates of different sizes, a couple of dog beds and if your pet is a couch snuggler, i am happy to oblige. I can/will walk dogs. I have a fenced in area for dogs to run around. If meds need to be given, I can do that as well. A meet and greet will be required.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Clayton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,078 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Clayton. 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 Clayton 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 NJ 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.

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.
