“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”
“My boy Appa had a wonderful time with Anthony!! He came home so happy. We'd been taking him to a big corporate doggy daycare and poor Appa was clearly getting overwhelmed by the size of the groups and chaotic environment. Tonight he's acting like his usual self, all playful and full of love. I'm so happy we found Anthony!! Literally the answer to a prayer.”
About: I have ten years of experience working with seniors in the past and I have 3 amazing, older kids that love to care for animals. I took some time off of work to help homeschool my kids. But my kids have a pretty easy schedule. Therefore, I have a lot of time to care for animals. I have a pregnant neighbor so she usually needs help with her dog. I like to give them 2-3 walks a day, bathe them if needed, feed them dog food with lots of nutrients, and make sure they are hydrated. My clients dog is pretty chill so I usually just pet him and feed him. Pets fit into my daily routine because I have a pretty open schedule and have a lot of time to care for the dogs which I’m caring for I have a fenced in yard and everything that can cause harm is door away. I also have smoke detectors, carbon dioxide, and a fire extinguisher.
“Wonderful experience. Last minute request with a quick response. Her house is very welcoming and the background is the best. All dogs were very friendly and used to have guests at home, including the cat. 100% recommended! Thank you”
“Lyly was totally cool with me leaving storm with her all day, I’m a current student and I also work , on my first visit I forgot my leash and she gave me a better one .Lylys service is such a good help I encourage you to book.”
“My dog, Riley, has separation anxiety and this when is the first time he was left with somebody else at their house. After 6 hours, when I came to pick him up, I have never seen him so at ease and tuckered out! I saw videos of him running with the caregiver's other dog, and he was having the time of his life! I am so extremely glad that I found Joe, and I'm going to use him in the future for sure!”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing! We stayed in Philly for a couple days and she took great care of our pup while we were out exploring! She made us feel so comfortable knowing that our buddy was safe and happy. They went on lots of walks and had lots of snuggles and she was great about updating us every step of the way! She also sent some pretty fantastic pictures. We will absolutely book Sarah next time we’re in town and are so appreciative of her! Also, her doggy Harry Nilsson is such a sweetheart and was a great companion for our dog!”

“Brijana is the best sitter I could have hoped to find! She is incredibly responsive, reliable and experienced with little furry critters. I feel so confident leaving my little one in her hands! ”
About: Hi, I’m Cynthia! I am experienced pet parent and have had my dog, a super friendly couch potato Bassett Lab mix named Tucker, for over a decade now. I grew up with cats and frequently pet sit for friends and neighbors by doing drop in visits and walks. I have experience with both small and large dogs, and love to get my steps in with walks! We take our dog out for a 30 minute walk every morning, as well as shorter walks and play throughout the day as my husband and I both have flexible hours and work from home. The care and safety of your pet is of the utmost importance to me and I’d treat all of them as if they were my own. Thanks for considering me for your furry family member, and I look forward to meeting them! I’m recently laid off from my long time job as a project manager and have unlimited time to make your pet’s life the best it can be :) I have trained my dog from puppy school through to puppy college aka therapy dog school and am well attuned to the needs of a dog in training. I’m comfortable following any guidelines you set out, and strive to leave any place better than I found it.
“Michelle & Mike were great! Super flexible with my drop off/pick up. Kept me informed through the day! My pup was SO tired out after playing with their dog Bailey!! Will definitely be using them again.”
About: I worked with animals for over 20yrs and am experienced with all dog breeds (as well as cats). I am a retired pet stylist who still prefers to spend all my time with dogs of all sizes 😊. I have years of experience with senior & special needs pets, I am CPR certified also. For a small additional fee, I offer some grooming services such as: nail trimming, toothbrushing, ear cleaning, good bath/brush out, shaving the paw pads, trimming around the eye area, and shaving the sanitary areas (butt and private area) Since I've retired, I literally have nothing but free time 24/7. I can't think of any better way to spend that time then to spend it with your pets 😊 Once your pet is dropped off to me for a visit, I pretty much allow them to have total run of the whole house (even if that means sharing my bed 😬). I also have a fenced yard and 2 beautiful parks very close by to me if they prefer

Lyly is absolutely wonderful, it was Scarlett’s first time away from home at a “doggy daycare”. Lyly was super flexible as my work schedule varies daily. She kept me up to date thru the day including sending pictures. I had to bring Scarlett two days in a row and the second morning Scarlett was thrilled and excited on the ride to Lyly’s.

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 Palmyra 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 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 .
