About: Hi! I love animals and love meeting new animal friends! I am very detail oriented and love to spend time with animals whether that through training or simply just cuddling. I have taken care of all types of animals my whole life and I am honored to care for someone else’s fur baby! I have a flexible schedule as a stay at home mom and am able to offer care services from overnight stays to grooming and basic training. I hope to be your top choice for your pets care! I am currently a stay at home mom and I can offer 24/7 services! I am readily available for all breeds of dogs and cats and I also like to research different breeds to learn about how to care for everyone’s unique individual traits. I am able to carry animals as needed and I also have an SUV that can be used in cases of emergency. I am up early mornings and can adjust to your fur babies schedule as needed. I have a fenced in dog kennel that was built for my own dogs which has 1 access point to make sure there are no accidental breakouts. I have a rather large home that offers multiple places to house your pet because I know everyone has a different situation so we are very adaptable. I am able to follow a routine and instructions left by my clients in the event I am needed at their home address.
About: Hello! My name is Amanda, and I am 36 years old. On top of being an animal lover of all kinds my entire life, I have worked in pet stores, and Dog Kennels where I would distribute meds (oral and injection) as necessary and was a Dog Groomer for a family-owned shop for 15 years. We are lucky enough to have a very spacious fenced in yard where your babies can play and stay safe. Unfortunately, I am currently not taking any bigger breeds at the moment. This will not be a forever thing, it's just what works for our family right now. Thank you for understanding! Sadly, we lost our family dog not too long ago, but we have a hairless cat who is the most patient, lover girl you’d ever meet. Drop offs and pick-ups can be anywhere between 8am to 8pm. I have two small children, and I try to keep a nighttime routine. We can always make other arrangements; I am very easy to work with. If you would like your dog to be bathed right before picking up, we can arrange that as well! Dogs *MUST* be good with children and cats. I promise to love your animals and give them a happy & safe environment until you return! I cannot wait to meet you! I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! It will be easy to fit into your dog's schedule and cater to them as often as they need! I have huge 6ft privacy fenced in yard for play time and walks. We also have a beach and lake right across the street if that is something they would like!
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs, cats and fish. I’ve cared for lizards and small furry friends as well. I will always stop to pet a dog and I’ve had animals come up to me out in the wild on multiple occasions. Although I currently do not have a pet, I love sitting for my friends. I’ve cared for all size and age of dog from a few months to 16 years. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. Im currently off for the summer but teaching summer school for the month of July. My schedule is pretty open and much if what I do have scheduled is flexible. Although I live in an apartment, my complex is extremely pet friendly with 4 dog parks and a full walking loop with poop bags around the entire property.
“Great Care! Marci was fantastic and she even made my dog a personalized Bandana. My dog was well cared for and got enough exercise in her yard she slept the whole way home. Highly Recommend!”
About: Grew up with many animals and love them like my own. I’ve trained puppies and adult dogs alike. I have cats and can handle more I work for myself from home and out of the home as well. I love animals and am very passionate about what I do and how others are treated! I walk my own dog frequently, every two hours or so and I play with her all day long. My cat is a sleeper but he joins in on the playtime as well. I’m very clean, and maintain a very clean home and can help train and clean the animals as well. I am able to groom and trim nails and hair as well.
About: I can be your dog’s personal nanny and hiking buddy!! I have a mini Goldendoodle named Ava, and she loves when we go on walks, play fetch and hide and seek!! She is the daughter I’ve never had, being I am a mom to 3 boys, and I spoil her TONS and would love to share my time with your fur babies as well :) I’m a stay at home mom, and looking to help out any parents who need some extra care and love for your doggies as well!! As stated above, I am a stay at home mom and have the time and patience to help anyone out with your fur babies as well :) My schedule is very open and I can easily accommodate many requests as needed. I also live on a farm and can take your dog for walks around our fields, if that is something you would also want. I have no problem coming to your house to take your dog on walks, provide bathroom breaks and even a friendly game of catch, whatever their heart desires! I also have a very friendly dog that can keep your dog, named Ava, company if watching them at my house was a preference as well. We live on a farm and have tons of land to keep them busy. We also have a dog crate, if needed, and plenty of cute toys!
“Danielle was very kind and responsive and shared lots of photos and updates throughout the day! We loved knowing our pup is in such caring hands! We would definitely have Danielle care for our dog again! Thank you Danielle!”
“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.”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats! Dogs that are more trained and have troubles with eating during given dinner hours! I have lots of experience with shy cats and anxious dogs, given my cat has been very shy towards others, and my dog is incredibly anxious! While I do have more experience with cats, I am as much of a dog lover as I am a cat lover! Currently also trying to look for a part time job, but my schedule is all around free besides on super early mornings, weekdays are fair game for me as of right now! Same with some weekends if given prior notices! I will follow any given guidelines and rules to anyone I will be having my services given to! I am a very clean person, especially with animals! I will follow any given diets or routines with what ever critter you may have in store for me!
“Archie usually takes awhile to warm up to people and can be kind of stand offish until then. However he IMMEDIATELY took to Patricia and her husband, letting them pet his face and going up to them for cuddles. I've never seen him do that before! He loved them right away and they were great! Will def book again”
“Kateri was wonderful with our 5 month old lab puppy! You can tell she really cares about dogs and is very experienced, kind, and professional. We would definitely have her take care of Wally again!!”
“Zoe would rush up to Michelle’s door excited to spend the day with her. She was safe and I could tell she had a great time. It was such peace of mind knowing she loved being with Michelle and was having a great time while I was working.”
“This was my Milo's 1st time ever being out of our home & with a stranger. I felt like a bad dog-mom leaving him daily and he wasn't too happy about the notion either. Seeing Eileen's patience & affection toward animals & receiving daily pics & videos of my boy all calmed my quills & assured me he was adjusting well & was in great hands.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 545 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Elwood Magnolia. 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 Elwood Magnolia 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 545 sitters in Elwood Magnolia, 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.
