About: I love animals and have had furry friends in my family for the last 20 years. Right now we have a cute Cardigan Welsh Corgi named Dublin. He has lots of energy and loves playing with other dogs! If your pet needs some play time, they will get plenty of love from me and my two kiddos. I treat all animals with love and respect, and I will try to give you and your pet the best experience possible. I understand how pets become a part of the family, and I will always treat them like my own. I'm a stay at home mom to my two kids and our puppy Dublin! We're home most of the day and we would love for your doggos to come play with us! We have a fenced yard for dogs to run around. They can also play inside with us, we're home most of the time. We usually crate dogs overnight.
“Leo seemed to have a great time with Alexis! She took good care of him with his separation anxiety. She was communicative beforehand and great at sending updates and photos!”
“Mandy was so wonderful this week. Boone came home two days in a row completely exhausted. He loved playing with her pack, and I could tell he was in safe, nurturing, capable hands. I immediately booked her for three more days next week!”
“Ashley and Michael have been so wonderful to our pups and to us during our move. When we pull up to their house the dogs are so eager to get inside! Such a comfort knowing they have a place to go during the chaos where it’s calm and they’ll be loved!”
“Julia was great with our little 3 month old puppy! We were out for the day and received pictures and updates. By the time we got her she was so tired from all the playing she got to enjoy throughout the day. Julia is awesome!”
About: I’ve owned dogs for 10 years. I’ve cared for puppies as well as senior dogs. Your dog will be in the home with us and will be loved as a member of the family by all of us. The back yard is fenced which allows free roaming and out door play. The dogs have access to a mud room which adjoins the house via a dog door. We enjoy taking lots of walks and playing ball. I believe healthy habits makes happy animals. I have the privilege of being a homeschool mom! I am home all during the week and will be available for all your dogs needs! Our home is small and very open which allows the dogs to be near us at all times. I do have a baby gate which separates the laundry room, so I can feed your dog and my dog separately. The back yard is fenced which allows plenty of free roaming and out door play. On warm weather days the back door to the back yard stays open most of the day and the dogs can come in and out as they please. From the backyard they can also access a mud room which adjoins the house via a dog door or a sliding glass door for large dogs.
“Aimee and her family were a huge help and excellent caregivers for Jasper while we attended a two day conference, having travelled from our home in Texas! She was available on relatively short notice and helpful after a prior advanced booked Rover daycare sitter cancelled on us unexpectedly! We had Jasper in Aimee's personable and positive care for the first time for 2 full days! Aimee provided very good feedback, including photos, about his stay. What a relief and blessing it was to have her / their capable and caring help! Jasper is typically anxious around other dogs. He got to play with 2 dogs at Aimee's house, and was reported to have played well! Jasper had outdoor play in their fenced in backyard, and indoor time as well, with Aimee and her children. Jasper ate his one afternoon meal and had plenty to drink during his day stays. We greatly appreciate the wonderful care provided for Jasper and highly recommend Aimee and her family!! Thank you very much!!! We hope Jasper can stay again if ever we're needing help in UT.”
“Anna is easy to work with, prompt with replies and flexible in availability. My senior girl had the absolute best time (I got a picture to prove it) and she came home exhausted! We will definitely be a reoccurring client!”
“Thanks Kerri for taking care of Daisy again. This is only the 2nd time watching her but she ran right up to your house and seemed happy and relaxed. Thank you for all of the prompt communication as well!”
“Christy and Luke were AMAZING!! They went above and beyond and took great care of our husky, Zeke! They sent lots of photos and took Zeke on multiple walks. We can’t thank them enough!!”
“Amy and her family are the best! They love all the dogs that come by and they are so patient and sweet with my Ellie. Amy is so understanding and sweet and flexible!! They really are the best!❤️”
“Jarica and family took wonderful care to make our shy dog comfortable. Thankful for the peace of mind knowing that our dog had some play time while we attended an event. When in the area visiting friends in the future we will book with Jarica again. Loved the photos and the sight of our dog with little girls coming back from a walk!”
“Keslee took Sasha in last minute and was extremely accommodating due to some unexpected delays!! She was amazing and would definitely recommend her to everyone!! 🐕💖💕”
“I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! My dogs were very happy in her care and were excited to go back each morning, which gave me a lot of confidence that they were being well looked after. She was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated with photos and even the routes they took on their walks. It was great to see what they were up to throughout the day. One day, one of my dogs rolled in something particularly messy, and she took the time to get her cleaned up before I picked her up. That extra level of care was really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Mylo was so happy with Kristin! She has a huge, multi-level back yard, 3 adorable friendly small dogs that play nicely with visitors, and she is the sweetest person. You can tell she really loves and cares about animals! We'll definitley use her again!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Croydon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 604 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Croydon. 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 Croydon 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 UT 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 604 sitters in Croydon, 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.
