“I was anxious about leaving my fur baby, but Kristen provided frequent updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. She took the best care of my dog, and I would confidently book her again and recommend her to others.”
“Paula was honestly the best dog sitter we could have ever asked for. She is humble, kind, and was absolutely wonderful with Cappucino. She was very, VERY patient with him, through his stubbornness, active personality, and especially his barking. I couldn’t ask for any one better to care for my dog. Cappucino is stubborn and it isn’t easy to get him to trust you, especially if he barely knows you. But somehow, Paula managed to win him over! I was so happy when I found out they were starting to become friends. She send us updates, messages, and pictures throughout our entire stay, and is surprisingly quite a nice photographer! I recommend Paula to everyone, and would give her a 10/5 if I could. You won’t regret having her care for your pup!”
“Louie had a great time on his first visit to Danielle's! Danielle was responsive, accommodating, super friendly and very kind. Would and will use Danielle's services again!”
About: I've had my own dog for the past 9 years, and caring for them has taught me how important consistency, patience, and love are. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm excited to provide a safe, comfortable home for dogs during the workweek. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to give plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles while following each owner's routine to help their dog feel happy and relaxed. I work from home Monday through Friday, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and exercise in my fenced yard while following your dog's normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pup enjoys relaxing, playing, or just being near someone during the day, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and one friendly, fully vaccinated resident dog. I will introduce dogs slowly and always prioritize a calm, low-stress environment. If separation of the two dogs is important to you, I can also accommodate that request. I also have three children (ages 16, 10, and 4), who are in school for most of the day. While I'm working from home, visiting dogs stay with me in my home office so they're never without supervision. When my children return home, visiting dogs have the option of remaining with me in my office in a separate area from the rest of the household if they need a quieter space or if separation is the safest choice. I can provide either a crate-free stay or crate your dog if that's part of their normal routine. I'll always follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs, so your dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home.
“Rebecca is the best! We struggled having to leave our new pup with someone other than family and I can honestly say she treats him as she would her own! He had a blast with his friends and took a nap on the ride home! Thanks to you & your family for loving Roman as much as we do ! We found our furever sitter !”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve taken care of puppies who need patience, structure, and reinforcement of basic training, energetic adult dogs who thrive on activity and routine, and senior dogs who require a gentler pace, medication awareness, and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s specific needs, whether that means reinforcing potty training, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply providing calm companionship. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work fully remote from home and have flexibility in setting my schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs your pet may have. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and can receive consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and companionship. Because I structure my work independently, I can easily adjust my schedule to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind-down time. It’s important to me that pets feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for, not just supervised.
“Mary Ellen was great with our French Bulldog puppy. She watched him for four days while we were in North Beach on vacation. Jack looked forward to seeing her every time and we were able to go to the beach and out to dinner without worrying about him. I would highly recommend Many Ellen”
About: A true nature lover I love ALL living things! Yes spiders and snakes too. Especially those who can love back . I've rescued and cared for almost every species. Elder dogs and those with health issues. Medications, injections I'm able to deliver it all. My schedule used to revolve around one of my Yorkies 12 hour insulin schedule. I cooked his meals took him for long walks. He loved the water and we spent long hours at the beach. He recently passed at age 15. I'm now willing to share with other pups who need some care and stimulation. I have a large fenced yard and a pool which one of my dogs and another I sit for loves! My other 2 are couch potatoes and are content to lay in the shade although they do enjoy their walks. We exercise rain or shine
About: With hands-on experience from working at an animal shelter, I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m active, strong, and trained in reading animal body language to ensure safe, patient care. I love providing enrichment and helping nervous pets feel calm and secure. As a devoted pet parent to one dog and two cats, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so my availability is wide open! I love having furry company during the day and can easily adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. Morning, afternoon, or evening — I’m flexible and always happy to make time for extra belly rubs or walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to learn every detail that matters — from quirks and favorite toys to the words and calls they respond to best. I ask plenty of questions upfront so I can follow their routine exactly, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. I respect each pet’s personality, whether that means lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or both. I also treat every home with the same care and respect as my own, and I provide regular updates so owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and cared for.
“Christine is a blessing! I booked her last minute and she was super happy to take my Lilly girl. Lilly had so much fun and is going back for more fun tomorrow. Thank you so much, will recommend you a million times to anyone and everyone who asks”
“Nicolena was wonderful and accepted my last minute request to watch my baby 🥲 she kept me updated with so many pictures throughout the day!! She will be my first pick when I come down next”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the experience I've gained caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I volunteered with ACCT Philly Animal Shelter, where I helped care for both dogs and cats with a wide range of temperaments and needs. That experience taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable, whether working with energetic puppies, shy rescue dogs, or senior pets that need a little extra care and compassion. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family always had multiple pets, and I was known as the one who spent the most time caring for them. Whether it was feeding, walking, playing, or simply making sure they felt safe and loved, I naturally took on that role because I truly enjoy being around animals. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience because they're a puppy or senior, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. Pet care isn't something I fit into my routine—it's a part of my everyday life. I truly believe that when you choose to have pets, you make the time for them. The people closest to me joke that I'm a bit of a "helicopter mom" with my animals, but I think that's exactly why we have such a strong bond. I love going above and beyond to make sure my pets are happy, healthy, and enriched. On nice days, I bring my cats out onto our secure porch so they can safely enjoy fresh air and sunshine. I hide treats around the house to create little "brain games" that keep them mentally stimulated, stay on top of their grooming and hygiene, and make sure each of my pets gets one-on-one attention every day. I think it's important that every animal feels loved as an individual, not just as part of the group. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after. Whether it's sticking to their normal routine, making time for extra play, or simply giving them companionship while you're away, I'll care for them with the same dedication I give my own. I believe the best pet care starts with understanding both the pet's needs and the owner's expectations. I'm also a strong advocate for respecting boundaries—both yours and your pet's. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your furry family member can feel nerve-racking. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether you prefer frequent updates, lots of photos, detailed visit summaries, or specific instructions on how you'd like your pet cared for, I'm happy to accommodate your preferences.
About: I have been a dog/cat owner since I was two years old and there is no pet I do not love. I have owned German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, Mixed breeds, a Papillion, a Great Dane as well as a Himalayan and an Orange Tabby cat. I am able to spend a lot of time with any age pet and treat them as if they’re my own. Being disabled I’m home a lot. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog would be free to run and play. I use a walker. My home has an elevator. Therefore, it is not a problem to let them out frequently. Just let me know what your dog loves and I will make sure they have the best time possible! I do not work. I am disabled. Therefore I’m home a whole lot, probably too much. This enables me to spend quality time with your pet. I have a fenced in backyard. I do not have any dogs or cats of my own. Therefore, I am able to devote all my time and attention to your loved one.
About: Your pet gets more than a sitter they get a new best friend! ❤️ Since I work from home, they'll enjoy plenty of love, attention, playtime, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. Photo updates are always included so you can see all the fun! Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who worked as a vet tech many moons ago while I was in nursing school. These days, I work from home, which means your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day. My home is also full of fellow animal lovers! We have two dogs, a bunny, a love bird and a bearded dragon, and my two kids absolutely love helping care for our furry (and scaly!) guests. I'm also a bit of a homebody, so spending time at home with animals is truly my happy place. I can't wait to welcome your pet as part of the family! Your pet's comfort and routine are my top priorities! I have a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I'm always happy to take dogs on leashed walks for extra exercise and enrichment. I can follow your pet's regular feeding schedule, administer medications if needed, and tailor care to their individual needs and personality. Whether they love to play, explore, or simply relax with lots of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“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 !”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Waretown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 388 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Waretown. 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 Waretown 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.

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.
