About: Currently available as needed. Would provide play time, multiple potty breaks, and walks with my own dogs! Have large yard and tons of toys. I previously worked in a vet office, so giving medication is not a hassle. Dogs can do as they please while supervised. Working in a vet office has provided knowledge of basic cpr, how to help/ prevent a choking incident and how to orally give medication as well as administering vaccines and or insulin. I own many types of pets and would only trust the best for my kiddos, and I know im not alone! All animals deserve great care and love, and I would love to help provide that. Any other questions about me are always welcome:) I am currently home and available at all times! I pick up my kiddos from school at 3 and we are ready to help your furry friends with any of their needs! I have two friendly dogs who love company and two kids to help get their energy out we live on 5.5 acres and love to go for leashed walks along the property!
About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. Up until recently, I have raised 2 dogs for the past 15 years and cats prior to/during part of that time. I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 young adults away at college so I have flexibility to visit homes with dogs or cats throughout the day. My innate ability to connect with animals has inspired me to seek out work where I may spend more time caring for them. I understand the care and concern pet owners have for their pets, especially when they are not able to be home for them. My experience being the primary caregiver for my own pets has nurtured my love for animals and provided me with knowledge of basic training techniques. It is my goal to provide peace of mind that I will care for your pet the same as I would for my own furry loved one. I look forward to visiting with new furry friends! I am currently home all days of the week except midday Tuesdays. Therefore, I have flexibility to visit pets throughout the day on most days. I am currently living in a neighborhood with ample space for walks. In addition, I have reliable transportation for visits to clients’ homes as necessary.
“Ashley did an amazing job watching our fur babies! She was very responsive and communicated the entire time. Stanley and Lola loved spending the day cuddling with her. Thanks so much Ashley!”
“Kaela and her family are awesome. We really liked how responsive and accommodating she was. We needed to book a last minute reservation 2 days for our dog for July 4th, she quickly responded to confirm. Most importantly, seeing our dog happy when we picked her up the first day, and wagging her tail when seeing Kaela the second day, showed us how happy the doggo was with Kaela. I'd definitely love to have Kaela take care of our dog the next time we are in the area.”
“I highly recommend Gabriela!! She is a fantastic communicator and very accommodating. She watched our dog for us while we were traveling in the area and wanted to take a day trip to Six Flags Great Adventure. You won’t be disappointed with her attentiveness to your dogs needs. Our girl had a great time romping around outside. Thank you!! We will definitely seek her services again if we decide to make another trip down.”
“This was my first Rover experience and Vanessa was amazing with my little guy. Her home is super dog friendly and I loved how she communicated often, sharing pictures and details of what he was doing so I knew he was having a good time. Made me feel less anxious about leaving him.”
“I cannot recommend Vickie and Heath enough! Wonderful! From the moment we began communicating to picking up my dog Maui, Vickie was wonderful and warm-hearted! Maui is an 8 month-old Labrador, so he needs a lot of attention still… And, I felt such peace of mind leaving him for the day with Vickie and Heath. I received video updates and could see he was having so much fun! I’m so glad I found Vickie and Heath and look forward to when Maui can go back and have more fun!”
“Carol was amazing as a sitter for my 2 year old German Shepard. She took amazing care of her and it was clear she gave her the attention she deserved. Will be seeking her help again in the future !”
“Wonderful experience with Sarah! She made Scout feel right at home, sent tons of pictures and videos and stayed in touch frequently to give me updates. Highly recommend! Will be using her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover and caretaker my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, reptiles, guinea pigs, hamsters, and parakeets of all ages. During the school year, I work as a full time special education teacher. This gives me mornings for walks and cuddles and plenty of time for love, attention, and playtime afternoon til bed. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog who loves to play with other dogs. I also have 2 dog friendly cats. If your pet is crate trained, I can easily accommodate that.
About: Greetings Pet Parents: I recently retired and am able to fulfill a lifelong dream of having a small doggy day care in my house 24/7 I have the time now to dedicate to taking care of small pets for as long as you may need in my home where I live alone. I recently adopted Finn from the SPCA, a 2 year old 18 lb male Yorkie terrier mix I have a fenced patio out back with a long strip of astro turf where your pet can enjoy sunshine, fresh air and potty breaks on demand in a safe secure enclosed space
“Tom's place is awesome!! I work at the nearby military instillation and I was using Tom's daycare services. He was open to a meet and greet the day before I was supposed to drop off my pet which was from 7am-5pm, and he met Ollie and then showed us around a bit which made me feel much better knowing my dog was going to be kept in such clean and organized conditions. You can clearly tell how well Tom takes care of his own dogs. Everyday I used his service I could tell my dog had a great time and got to experience what walking in a pack was like. He came home exhausted each day and Tom sent great pictures and videos which made me feel better. As Tom states in his bio, if your dog is crate trained, good with other dogs and has a daily routine this is the place for you! Your dogs will love their experience at Tom's Place!”
About: Huge dog lover! I’ve had multiple dogs my entire life and ran a successful dog sitting service with my wife for 5 years. I no longer have any pets of my own and would love to fill the house with yours. Your dogs will be at home here with full run of the house. I live in a quiet community with a beautiful yard on a duck pond. We'll take long walks, sit outside, play with toys and enjoy cuddle time on the couch or bed. I'd be happy to take them to the local dog park to get their energy out. I’ll send plenty of videos and pictures so you can see your baby while you’re apart. I'm now retired and will be home most of the time, outside of pickleball at my community club house and short errands. Would love to meet your puppy or chat details about their stay. I am mostly home, aside from short errands and can walk your dog based on desired schedule. The dog is allowed on the furniture and can sleep in bed or we can bring their bed or crate into the bedroom. I will take them on walks around the neighborhood and play with toys. I can also provide visits to the local dog park upon request.
“Laura is amazing! My dog Milo is very anxious which makes me very nervous to leave him and she did so great with him! All the update pictures also helped make me feel better that he was okay! Highly recommend Laura!! 😊”
“Gerry is so sweet and takes great care of my pup! My dog comes home very happy after her time with Gerry. I am so thankful for the love and care she gives to my girl!”
“She was great with my dog honestly. Super attentive, always sending pictures and updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. My dog came home happy and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. Definitely would bring him back again.”
“Lenny is very accommodating and caring! I am very grateful to have found her for Oreo. Oreo is now 15 yrs old and gets anxious, but Lenny has made her feel safe and comfortable! I highly recommend her and rely on her for Oreo!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Plumsted
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,819 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Plumsted. 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 Plumsted 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 1,819 sitters in Plumsted, 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.
