“Snoop had a great time at Kelley's house. It was his first time but he loved sharing his doggy kisses with Kelley's 2 boys. We will definitely call on them again. Thank you!”
“Loved Kateri and her awesome back yard! My one dog is anxious and doesn’t like a lot of people so her fenced in yard was appealing to me. Easy to just let her in and out and not have to deal with her grumpiness (my dog.. not Kateri) She kept me updated though the day and let me know the anxious one warmed up to her towards the end of the stay. I can’t wait to take my 2 dogs to her again and have a nice little beach day to myself! If was exactly what I needed. And on kind of a short notice too.. she was very flexible. Thank you again , Kateri! Bamma and Archee say hello! And Thank you too!”
“Dee's second daycare was just as good as the first! Came home happy and tired, more dog friendly and obedient than ever. I highly recommend an occasional day for every high energy dog!”
“Allison took amazing care of Duffy during his doggy daycare! She made sure to send lots of pictures and updates so I knew he was in good hands. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Top tier service! This was my first time using this service and I am so elated I ran into Sterlin. She provided constant communication about the activities she was doing with Bear which made me extremely comfortable and relieved. I also think Bear fell in love as well. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet as if they are there own there’s no need to look any further…YOU FOUND HER!”
“Alex took great care of my puppy! He was there all day while I was at work, I got to enjoy pictures and videos she took of him throughout the day. He went on multiple walks which he loves! She was very accommodating to my schedule and quick to reply to any messages! I couldn’t recommend her more! My puppy can’t wait to go spend another day with Alex”
“Marci and her family were wonderful in looking after Parle! To make us feel comfortable, she even invited us to her house beforehand so we can see her backyard and area where Parle would be spending his time. She provided pictures throughout the day to keep us updated. We feel comfortable with Marci. ??”
About: I am sometimes referred to as the crazy dog lady, and I proudly accept that title :) I have experience with caring for a pack of 6 of my own, while caring for others. Doing it in a way that each one of the dogs needs was met. With that many pups, I have a great deal of experience caring for pups who may have dog aggression, anxiety, excessive energy, and/or medical needs. Through experiencing some of these issues with my own dogs, I am confident that I can give you ease of mind by helping your pup with any of the above while theyre in my care. I have completed a dog behavior course and am a certified Level 1 Reiki practitioner. Meaning, while your pup is in my care I am able to recognize signals on how they are feeling, and am able to respond in ways that will help them to calm, and feel safe. I will ensure that your fur child will get a great amount of exercise, play, and love. Currently, I am working under a professional dog trainer to better learn how to care appropriately for your pups. I’m happy to help with some positive training as well, or follow the commands you’ve been using to make sure they have consistency. We’ll have a grand time. I look forward to meeting you and loving on your pup! Health & Happines! Brittany

“Michael was super friendly and welcoming. Ziggy is only 4 months old and I was a little nervous since I hadn’t had anyone else watch him for that long before. Michael sent pictures and updates which was awesome. Ziggy was feeling shy his first day away from home which was a surprise to me, but I could tell that he’s in good hands. Thank you for taking care of Ziggy :)”
“It was so nice to be able to drive my husband to the eye specialist and be able to go in with him. I know that Jeffrey had a wonderful day hanging out with Denise and didn't miss us for a minute!”

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 Dorothy 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 311 sitters in Dorothy, 91% 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.
