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.
About: We recently said goodbye to our best friend of 9 years (Rustler) and now we're looking to meet some new friends and have some extra joy in our home. Both of my kids love dogs and would be eager to play, walk or cuddle them at our home as needed. I work from home, so there will be very little alone time. We'll be donating everything we earn to Nuzzles & Co, a local non-profit shelter. I work from home so other than kid activities we're around. During ski season we ski Sundays so try to avoid that day to prevent too much time alone We have a large but unfenced yard. We can crate your dog if needed, or are happy to give lots of room to play. Our neighbor offers a lot of great walks
“So happy we found Kristen to watch our Bernese Mountain Dog Honey! Kristen and her family take great care of our pup and she always responsive and shares photos throughout the day! Honey sprints into the house and loves her time there and we always know we can trust Kristen”
“Vanessa was very good at communicating quickly and she shared several pictures during my puppy’s stay. When I picked him up, he was happy and well rested! I look forward to more care with Vanessa.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Valerie and her care! Killian and Venus spent the day at her house, and it was clear from the moment we dropped them off that they were in the best hands. Not only is Valerie incredibly caring and attentive, but she also went above and beyond by accommodating last-minute care for them, which was such a lifesaver! Valerie and her partner are such genuine people who truly love pups! I absolutely loved the picture updates of their day—it was so heartwarming to see our fur babies having a blast and being so well cared for. When they got home, they were completely tuckered out, which tells me they played a lot and had tons of fun! I’m so grateful for the amazing care Valerie provided, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their pups!”
“Julie is always so great with our dog! We never worry about our dog being cared about and protected the whole time we are gone. We completely trust you and appreciate you.”
“I have never used a doggy day care service and Josh put my mind at ease immediately. His exceptional communication and punctuality made it easy to plan and enjoy our time in Park City. He picked up and dropped off my Westie, Minnie, at the hotel every morning, and let me know when he was leaving his home and when he would arrive so every handoff was seamless and stress free. While Minnie is very social and greets nearly everyone wherever she goes, there's a special greeting she reserves for the humans she "adopts" as her people. The second morning when Josh picked up Minnie, it was clear he had been adopted by Minnie. The peace of mind knowing she was thoroughly enjoying herself and she was well cared for was priceless. Thank you Josh and see you next year!”
“Amy and her family have been watching my little Ellie girl for the past few weeks while her regular sitter has been out of town and they are just the best! Ellie adores hanging out with them and they just know how to show a pup some love when you can’t! So glad we’ve met them☺️”
“Rachel is the best! She has been so kind and accommodating. She’s welcomed our puppy to her home multiple times (including holidays) with so much love and made her feel so happy! We are so grateful!”
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, and that’s shaped me into someone who shows up for them especially the ones who can’t advocate for themselves. Over the years I’ve helped stray cats, done dog runs for rescues, participated in pulling dogs from kill shelters, and volunteered at local organizations where I take neglected or anxious dogs out for walks and hikes to help them decompress. Caring for animals isn’t a hobby for me; it’s something I’ve always felt responsible for. What sets me apart from other sitters is the combination of hands-on experience, patience, and calm confidence with animals of all backgrounds. I’m comfortable with puppies who need structure, senior pets who require a gentler approach, and animals who come with trauma or nervous behaviors. I pay attention to body language, adjust my pace to each pet’s comfort level, and make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Your pet won’t just be looked after, they’ll be treated with the same compassion and commitment I bring to every animal I’ve ever helped. Caring for others is already at the center of my life. I work full time taking care of my three little kids, and I build my days around making sure my kids and animals get the attention, structure, and care they need. When I’m looking after an animal, they’re fully integrated into that routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, quiet time, or any special instructions you have. I have a genuine passion for helping those who need a little extra support, so I’m used to adjusting my schedule to meet each animal where they are. Whatever your pet requires, I make sure it fits smoothly into the flow of my day so they feel safe, cared for, and part of the family while they’re with me. When I care for pets in my home, they have plenty of space and stimulation throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where they can run, play, and explore safely. There are always toys and treats available, and my two friendly dogs provide great company for any visiting pup. My three kids also love helping out and make sure your fur child gets lots of attention. I focus on maintaining a safe, comfortable, and structured environment that helps each pet feel at ease. I will follow your instructions closely feeding schedules, routines, quirks, and any special needs so your pet’s routine stays consistent.
“Our dog is super shy about meeting new people so Alyssa made sure to do everything to make her feel comfortable. She introduced her to the other dogs gradually. Although Lola was shy at first, she ended up have a good time. We will entrust our dog to Alyssa the next time we need a 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!”
About: I have had a dog as long as can remember, I’m retired and I can spend time with each dog individually, they will feel loved. I’m retired and would be able to care for a pet daily around the clock. I have a fenced yard with security cameras covering the property. I have a secured yard, I have an automatic doggie door that allows in and out access at all times. I have dog crates if needed. I will follow requested feeding instructions.
“This was Millie’s first time staying somewhere that was not family and I am pretty sure she loved it! She came home and just slept from having so much fun! We got pictures and updates all day which was so wonderful. Definitely will be using Mandy again.”
About: We're BACK! After being off Rover due to a relocation, we are now back online and available to give you and your fur baby (or babies) the best Rover experience on the platform. We accept just one family at a time for even greater care and attention. When your pup stays with us you can rest assured he or she is in good hands, well cared for and having as much fun as you are (and probably more)! My husband and I have no kids in the house, so the dogs get all the love and attention they can stand. We do have a cat who spends most of his time hiding and sleeping. (We have several options for keeping kitty away from dog guests, so don't worry about that.) While your dog is with us he or she will get a minimum of 3-4 walks a day. We work from home full-time so the dogs are never alone for long. We are very active and love going for walks - or runs. We provide an activity level commensurate with your dog's energy level. You can also expect: - Regular feeding (scheduled as requested) - Lots of play time - Oral Medication (if needed) - Multiple photos/updates throughout their stay (for your peace of mind, not theirs). (App stating 50% of the time is wrong, and due to some owners preferring updates sent directly to their phones versus through the app) - Lots of snuggles, petting, and love Flexible Drop-off and Pick-up times: We are very flexible... just ask! Luke and Christy both work from home full-time so your fur baby is never alone for long. We can let dogs out regularly throughout the day and night, as needed. Our yard is currently mostly fenced, so dogs are not let out off-leash until we do a complete assessment of their willingness to obey commands. Please let us know if they have a tendency to want to run off. We love to walk (and run) and can let them out regularly for potty breaks. We also have regular access to a nearby neighbor's fully fenced yard for off-leash play time.
“She did a wonderful job! My buddy is a little whiny when I’m not around, and she made him and me feel as if he was secure and safe. This was the first sitter I’ve used on this app and I will continue to use this app because I had a great experience with her. She took very cute pictures of buddy, and it makes me happy knowing he had a fun time over there.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Croydon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 609 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 609 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.
