About: I've taken care of many different types of pets for a large portion of my life. As friends and family have brought to my attention, I tend to attract animals big and small in a genuinely positive way. I'm currently in between jobs. I have a large amount of time in my week to spend with your fur baby. I'll be available to care for your little one for most of my day. I have 2 friendly cats in my home alongside an African Grey Parrot. My home is welcoming to all furry friends. I have a large unfenced yard with plenty of room to play and run.
“Madeline was great. Took good care of my pup, he didn't wanna go when i picked him up! She was great at responding to any questions and even sent me some pics of Fenn enjoying himself at her house.”
“Such a great experience with Sarah and her family. This was my first time leaving my girl with someone I didn’t know. They made me feel very comfortable at our meet and greet. They were extremely accommodating and took great care of her. She was happy when I picked her up at the end of the day. I would highly recommend Sarah and Anthony. I will be using them again. Thx”
“Samantha was awesome and kept communication with me constantly which made me feel more at ease. I definitely plan on rebooking with Samantha in the future.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I make it a priority to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel happy and comfortable in my care. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is getting plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I am currently at home for summer and am available for services during the weekdays and have more than enough time to take your dogs for walk. I would be happy to see your furry friend at any time of the day. I prioritize creating a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and maintain their pet’s normal routine to minimize stress and provide consistency. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an active adult dog, or a senior pet needing extra attention, I adapt my approach to meet their individual needs. I remain attentive during walks, monitor pets closely during play, and ensure they always have access to fresh water, comfort, and supervision. Clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet as if they were my own are the foundations of my care
“Samantha did a great job taking care of our dog during a last minute family manner. She provided feedback during our dog's visit and would recommend her for any future requests.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for cats, dogs, fish, rodents and reptiles for more than 45 years. I would be happy to share the love with your furry (or otherwise) family members too. I currently have a sheepadoodle that loves other dogs and people, so he would love to have a playmate to come and take walks and spend time with us. I currently work from home so I have plenty of freedom to spoil all the pets in my care. I do look after my 3 year old grandson sometimes so getting along with children would be an important quality if your pet should come to stay with me. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly sheepadoodle that gets along with both dogs and cats. We love to go on walks too.
“Nicole saved us when my sitter cancelled last minute. Meeko and Eevee were totally comfortable with her and she sent pictures as they settled in and on their walk. They had a great time. We would definitely pick her next time we are local!”
“We were so happy to have found Makeba! She loves Ollie and takes such great care of him. Great communication and we love the pictures and videos she sends! Ollie and her dog Remy get along so nicely!”
About: Over 20 years of taking care of and watching pets. im very fond of animals and the majority of the ones i've interacted with seem to feel the same way about me. Their well being is very important to me and i treat them as my own. i can be very flexible with a schedule, every day of the week and pretty much ever hour of the day. i have a lot of time i can dedicate. There is a fenced in yard. I would try to adhere to your rules for pets as much as possible. The pets would be like family, they are allowed to be on the couch and or bed (if thats ok)
“Chris has been great with, Everest! The best experience I’ve had with a sitter on Rover, for sure. He’s attentive to her, knowledgeable, and she loves staying with him. Highly recommend Chris!!”
About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up without a dog, but always looked forward to seeing my furry extended family members. I have had a family dog (Blue Heeler) for 14 years and we all share responsibility for his care. He is treated like royalty and is definitely the most favored family member. I also have experience sitting for other dogs and cats, and provide house sitting, walks, feeding, exercise, and lots and lots of love. Your pets are guaranteed the same treatment and adoration in my care and I will love and care for them as if they were my own because that is exactly what our furriest friends deserve. I look forward to caring for your beloved fur babies! I work from home and am available for drop in visits and walks during the day. I am off on Thursdays and weekends as well. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I am very loving and friendly to animals of all kinds. I will respect your space and keep my activities in your home limited to your pets needs only. Your home will be left exactly as you left it.
“I can’t express enough how amazing Angie has been with my dog Goldie. I have booked two longer stays with her, one being 10 days, the longest i’ve been away from her since i’ve had her. Since Goldie has spent time with Angie, she has fallen in love with her and now when I have long work days I have Goldie stay with Angie for the day knowing she’ll be much happier and have a little vacay day.”
“Lauren was great with Roxie! She was kind enough to help us out with short notice and made Roxie feel like she was right at home. Roxie is a senior pup with special needs”
“Ruby was great! I appreciate her helping me out for three days. I was in need of a sitter for my puppy because I didn’t want him home alone for hours. She was very friendly, great communicator and sweet towards my pup. I will definitely book with her again!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Thorofare
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,453 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Thorofare. 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 Thorofare 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 2,453 sitters in Thorofare, 86% 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.
