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!

William is an excellent Dog Sitter. His hours are very flexible, if I get stuck at work a little late. My dog loves him. As soon as we pull up to the house, he starts wagging his tail all excited to go visit his new friends.

Alice is great with my special needs senior dog Porter. He is happy every time he sees her, and she is very responsible with catering to his special needs, allergies and medical conditions. She is very communicative and lets me know any changes observed in Porter during his stay, plus sends cute pictures regularly. I trust her with my deaf/blind senior completely.

About: For years, I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether it’s energetic puppies, strong large breeds, or mellow older dogs. I also have experience providing medicine for both dogs and cats, ensuring they get the right care when they need it most. I know how important it is to keep pets active and engaged, so I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention tailored to their needs. Being an active caregiver, I enjoy staying on the move and making sure each furry friend feels loved, safe, and happy while in my care. I currently work four days a week and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care and walks Monday, Wednesday through Sunday. This gives me ample time for multiple walks per day, accommodating different feeding routines, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule or adding in extra activity, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. Depending on your dog’s training and routine, I can follow your directions for crate use, provide free roam in my apartment, or stick to the setup you prefer. Since I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs are leash trained and enjoy regular walks in my neighborhood. Walks can range anywhere from 1 to 3 miles, depending on your dog’s needs and your request. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well-cared for in an environment that matches their routine. In your home, I would follow careful instructions with walking, feeding, and playing.

Kajal made sure she sent us pictures and videos and kept us upto date with him. I know Romeo was in good and trusted hands and would definitely leave Romeo with her in the future.

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.

Apollo had a great time with Natalia and Ilian. He had a few furry friends joining his stay and you can tell that he got lots of love and play time. Felt like I dropped him off at school. Came back with a pic and colored picture from his little human friend😍. The pup was tired the next day. P.S. we have a language barrier but I think it's amazing regardless of that barrier, we are still able to communicate the care for Apollo and there's no issue on the love they showed him.

I couldn’t be happier with the care April provided for my dog, Dodo! She took time to schedule a meet and greet with me ahead of time to make sure my pup would get along with hers so she could have the best experience possible and from the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving Dodo in her hands. April is warm, attentive, and clearly has a deep love for animals. Dodo came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved — it was obvious she had a great time at her care. Would definitely recommend her to other pup parents!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Fords

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Fords on Rover is $27.25 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 10,511 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.

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 10,511 sitters in Fords, 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.
