About: The second I look at a dog or a cat, I feel my motherly instincts kick in!! I’m currently a per diem nurse and mental health therapist—giving me plenty of time to be home and love my babies. I noticed lot of pet owners via county pages on fb and I just want to be an extra help to my area while making annoying baby noises gawking at the cuteness of any fur baby. I do live with my morkie, Cinnabon who’s a sassy baby boy. And my partner has his cats, Cheesecake and Chandler Bing who are very friendly towards everyone. All my pets are healthy and on anti flea/tic medications! I work per diem as a nurse meaning my shifts are sparse and short- so I’m home 90% of the time. I love spending my free time with both cats and dogs and would love to meet yours! I have a small fenced yard that is regularly mowed and cleaned. I always replenish the water periodically. I keep my home tidy since I’m used to being around many animals at once. For baths, I either use my tub or the laundry sink basin for my own dog. As for cats, I do have the mesh bath bag that prevents them from clawing. I’m very gentle with my own pets!
“Mintu is the best! She sent me tons of picture and video of Enzo during the stay, always kept me updated! You know your dog had so much fun when he knocked out during the whole car home? we had a little issue when we picked up Enzo, but Mintu was very understanding and helpful! Will book her again for sure❤️”

“Jonathan was excellent. He introduced my dog to his own dogs so that they can get comformtable around each other since my dog is afraid of big dogs. Jonathan kept updating me throughout the day with pictures and text messages. I was very happy with the service and care my pet got from Jonathan and will definitely go back to them in futuure.”
“My dog has been having such a great time and comes home nice and tired after a day of play. Julissa is so sweet and sends so many updates and pictures throughout the stay. We will likely be regulars for doggy daycare!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my childhood home was always full of love (and paws) with more than three dogs at a time. Today, I’m the go-to pet sitter for all my friends whenever they need someone to care for their dogs, cats, or even rabbits. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets and take them on short and long walks as needed. I don’t have any pets myself and I only allow one pet at a time to make sure your pet has my full attention.
“Myah had a great time at Jamie's playing with Ollie! This was her first time and she was excited to be going when we pulled in the driveway. She came home very happy and tired!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of many kinds. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I recently retired so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am flexible and available to walk or board your furry friend. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your or my dogs and/or create separate space at the house.
“Julissa has been amazing with our little lucy. My wife and I work in the City so finding someone trusting to look after our Cav while we're away was very important to us. Our job can sometimes be demanding as well with odd hours but Julissa has been very accomodating to us. What I love about Julissa is she keeps us posted with photos and updates throughout the day. It always brings a smile to our face knowing that our lucy is having fun and being well taken care of. Would high recommend Julissa for day care needs! Our pup thrives more around humans than other dogs, and Julissa and her family always give Lucy the affection she loves.”
About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.

I have a fenced in yard and two cats who are accepting of other animals. I can crate or provide a comfy space for your pets so they feel pampered and safe!
“I had an amazing experience with Stephanie! She was so patient and knowledgeable with my 3-month-old Cane Corso. You can tell she truly understands dogs and knows how to handle big breeds with care and confidence. My puppy learned so much in just a short time, and I feel more confident continuing the training at home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great start with their pup! 🐾”
“Lisa has provided a wonderful experience to us and our dog Willow. We left Willow for a few hours, and he came out happy and perky and that's the most important thing in the end.”
About: I know how much pets mean to their families. I am a pet parent too. I understand the anxiety we all feel while boarding our fur babies. When your furry friend/baby stays with me, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving them their favorite treat, or extra cuddles when they’re missing you, I make their comfort my priority. I have hands-on experience providing safe, reliable, and loving care ensuring they feel at home even when their family is away. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments—covering everything from daily feeding and exercise to giving medications and keeping them calm in new environments. Why families trust me: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I keep their routine consistent, so they feel at home. I’m patient and gentle with pets that are shy, or need extra attention. I send updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. Most importantly—I give them the love, play, and companionship they deserve. We have comfortable living space, big fenced back yard for them to run, play fetch or just outdoor supervised play time. Also I am available to take them on walks. Socialization opportunity- We have a very friendly labradoodle, visiting friends have the chance to socialize, play and engage in positive interactions with another well behaved dogs. We have multiple gates, if required they will be separated during meal times. They are allowed to sleep on our couch, in our bedroom as well. You are welcome to bring anything like bedding or their favorite toys, blankets if that will make them more comfortable. Before first visit we will have meet and greet in my backyard, to be sure everyone gets along well. In all they will get lots of love, care, play time and of course lots of cuddles. I am currently working part time with flexible schedule, so pretty much open to work around your drop off and pick up time. I do go out for school picks up and drop off which is quick or to run some errands and appointments but just for couple of hours and I do have cameras on the pups. We have a fenced yard and one very friendly fur baby to keep your baby safe and have fun. I have multiple gates too, which can ne used to separate them if needed

We have a lot of family events/milestones that require day or overnight travel. It is a relieve to know that our Charlie is being well taken care of during these times with Dhruvit and his family. I appreciate the quick response and smooth transitions to make the time with our family memorable and easy. Thank again for caring for Charlie on Sunday!
Jinjie was an incredible sitter for our puppy Clover! Our pup can be a bit nervous at first so she ensured we had a meet up prior to the stay and did a great job at making Clover feel comfortable! Our puppy also loved her cat and dog! Would highly highly recommend Jinjie (:
Jinjie was absolutely amazing with Mika! She was so kind and careful with her, and it really showed. Mika always seemed genuinely happy coming home from her stays, which says everything. She kept me updated with tons of adorable pictures and videos throughout, which I loved. Beyond that, she just seems like an absolutely great person, I felt completely at ease knowing Mika was in such caring hands. Can't recommend her enough! And will definitely book her again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Fords is $53 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $68 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 10,579 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Fords. 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 Fords 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.
As of November 2026, there are 10,579 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NJ. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
