“Janice is loving, attentive and kind. She communicated well during Addie's visit; we were given frequent updates to help reassure us that Addie was adapting well to her new environment. Addie seemed relaxed and in tune with Janice from the start. We had an introductory visit before our first drop-off where we could see that Addie felt comfortable and confident with Janice and her family. We could see from the photos that Janice sent that Addie was enjoying her time and getting to know the other animals (cats, dogs, sheep) that are part of Janice's home and farm. We could not have hoped for a better outcome. It meant a lot to us that Addie enjoyed her stay because she has a tendency to experience some separation anxiety, but she didn’t seem to have any that day. Janice has a gentle way with animals and is genuinely interested in how they feel and what they need. Addie received excellent care and loving attention during her visit.”
“This was for a meet and greet with my dog Rumor. Christine and her Mom seemed like lovely ladies who are around through the day to care for their guest dogs. We will strongly consider Christine for Daycare and Boarding in the future.”
“Alison and Jason are kind, reliable, and flexible and our pup clearly looks forward to his stay at their place. We love that they take in other dogs and have a cool backyard for the dogs to play in. You really can’t ask for much more.”
“Nayeli was a great dog sitter. She had our 2 pups for more than 9 hours. I could tell right from the first meeting that she would provide good care. She was also very patient with me as I tried to figure out how to navigate the Metro North Train into The Bronx. She even gave me information on an app that helped. We used her service so we could go to a NY Yankees game, which was rain delayed. The train back to Poughkeepsie was also later than planned but Nayeli worked with us without complaint. We'd definitely recommend her.”

About: Pets have always been an important part of my life! As a former dog owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else's care. I've also regularly cared for friends' and family members' dogs and cats, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I'm comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a gentler approach and extra attention. I've also cared for multiple pets at once and have experience administering medication, always following the owner's instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit for feeding and companionship, overnight care in your home, or a comfortable stay while you're away, my priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs, favorite activities, routines, and quirks so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is in good hands, which is why I prioritize clear communication, photos, and updates throughout each booking. I will follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. Every pet deserves personalized care, and every owner deserves peace of mind. I'd love to get to know you and your pets and help make time apart a little easier for everyone! I plan my pet care bookings around my weekly schedule to ensure every pet receives attentive, dependable care. I coordinate walks, drop-in visits, and other bookings in advance so I can accommodate each pet's routine and needs. My availability varies by day and service, with opportunities for evening, weekend, and overnight care depending on my calendar. I keep my availability updated, communicate clearly with pet parents, and make sure expectations are established before each booking. My goal is to make scheduling easy for you while providing consistent, loving care for your pets! Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my priorities! I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and medication to walks and favorite activities. I’m mindful of keeping pets safe, securing doors and gates, and respecting your home. I also love sharing photo updates so you can see how your furry family members are doing! Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is to treat them like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Kimberly was amazing! Very attentive to my Macie and reassured me when leaving my pup for daycare for the very first time. Macie loveed her and have a wonderful day at Kimberlys! We're looking forward to booking again!”
“We recently had the pleasure of using Rachel to watch our mini schnauzer mix, Woody, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. It’s clear that Rachel genuinely loves dogs—she took the time to learn everything about Woody to ensure he received the best care possible. Woody is extremely attached to me, and Rachel went above and beyond to make his stay as calm and anxiety-free as possible. Her thoughtful approach and attention to his needs meant a lot to us. We’re very grateful for the care she gave our pup and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive dog sitter.”
“Maryline is very professional and friendly. She watched my new puppy and it was a great experience. The dog was happy and well taken care of. I will definitely use her services again and would strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great dog sitter.”
“Peter was great with my very energetic pup! He called a day before the appointment to make sure all my preferences are met. Very flexible with the times I requested. Most importantly, I was confident that my puppy was safe and enjoying himself. Peter’s home is dog friendly and he was kind enough to send me a picture of my beloved pup. Would definitely recommend!!”
About: 4 years of experience working at a veterinarian office and lifetime pet owner with no current pets. Let me care for your pet like I cared for mine. Work from home, single adult with no children or pets(yet🤣) able to walk local with lots of parks and trails if longer walks are desired. Two level condominium so stairs are required unless smaller and I can pick up to go out, able to give medications, baths, nails and lots and lots of love.
About: I've always held a special place in my heart for animals of all kinds! I know that every pet has their own unique, special way to be loved, and I am happy to learn exactly what your pet needs most. I strive to provide them with the best care possible. I'm good at communicating with animals and reading their cues, and also respecting any information provided by their owners! I have 3 kitties currently who I love more than anything! I promise I will dote on your fur babies just as if they were my own. Keeping them happy and safe is my top priority! :) I'm known as "that cat lady" since I'm always feeding the neighborhood strays and returning lost cats to their owners. Neighbors, friends and family members have often relied on me to care for their pets, including kittens and puppies, multiple pets at a time, and shy/timid pets. I have ample experience and can feed, walk, bathe, clean litter boxes and play with your pets. I am also open to accommodating any other special needs. Aside from my beloved fur babies, I have one human baby (well, 5 year old) who is at school during the week. I'm currently working on building my Etsy (online) shop. All of my work is remote and done from home, and my schedule is extremely open and flexible. Although I don't have a backyard, there is a dog park on my apartment complex where I'd be happy to spend time with your dog, as well as nearby trails and neighborhoods for lots of exercise and fun. If you prefer house calls or house sitting, I will treat your home with utmost respect and cleanliness. My daughter may tag along if school's out- rest assured she's super helpful and can be gentle or match the energy of even the most hyper and playful pets!
“We boarded our two dogs (1.5 yr old 75lbs mix and 11 year old Chihuahua) for two days, one overnighy. Leah was very accommodating, even when we added a second day last minute. She has a calm energy which helped with both our excitable puppy and small lap dog. She has a great fenced yard for the dogs to run around, she followed our instructions nicely and let us know about any concerns (even if small) when they came up. We appreciate her taking such good care of our two dogs so we didn’t have to worry about them at all!”
“Athena was absolutely amazing with my dog, Toulouse. He's a whiny handful with major separation anxiety, so I was nervous about leaving him with anyone, but Athena won him over completely. She took him on some adorable adventures around her university campus and, somehow, got him to actually do all of his business, which is nearly impossible even for me sometimes! She was patient, attentive, and clearly has a real gift with anxious dogs. I'd trust her with Toulouse again in a heartbeat, and I can't recommend her enough.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lithgow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 298 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lithgow. 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 Lithgow 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 October 2026, there are 298 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NY. 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 NY 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
