About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, a lifelong animal lover and trained dog care professional based in Ramsey, NJ 🐾 I am willing to help all over North Jersey! I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently care for my 14-year-old Wheaten Terrier, Dexter, who I’ve had for his entire life! :) I’ve also worked in a professional dog daycare and provided dog walking and pet sitting for multiple families, and I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! Whether it’s playtime, a walk, helping with meds, or just keeping your pet company, I bring calm, reliable, loving energy to every visit. I’m trained in safe animal handling and committed to keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I also make sure keep pet parents updated with lots of photos and messages for peace of mind. 😊 Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!! I’m a college student home for the summer! I have a very open and available schedule, and I’m available to help you and your furry friend/friends most any time and any day with anything you need :) I always make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. When caring for dogs in their home, I’m respectful of the space and always leave it even better than I found it!
“I can’t rave enough about how flexible Monica is and how much our dog loves staying with her! I never see him light up like this when he sees anyone else. A true joy to have her watch our furbaby!”
About: I am an experienced dog owner of over 20 years (cats over 10 years). No issue with breed size as I have owned dogs ranging from Bichon size to Rottweilers! Your pets will feel loved and comfortable here in our home. I work from home full time so will have more than enough time to give your pet all of the attention they crave! Walks, play, and feeding times can all be scheduled to your pet's needs. My yard is fully fenced and large enough for fun playtime. My home is large and has wide space for indoor play. Your pet will have my full attention all day as I work from home!
“Aeli is an amazing sitter. I try to choose sitters who have their own dogs so my own can socialize. I think (since I can’t read her mind) my pup had a great time. Aeli sent numerous pictures which were greatly appreciated. We will definitely book again!”
“I had a very positive experience with Melissa. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pup like her own. I got regular updates and came home to a happy, well-taken-care-of pup. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again.”
“We were so very pleased that we found Andrea on Rover. We went for a meet and greet first and liked everything about Andrea and her clean cozy doggie care environment! We used her for Doggy day care today for 6 hours while we attended a family party. It went perfectly. She sent photos during that time which puts your mind at ease. We were particularly nervous because we had never hired a sitter for our 12 year old Brandi. She’s only 12 minutes from our home which is another big plus for us. Her home is so well taken care of and she has a ground level well groomed back yard that is fenced and well lit. Andrea checked ALL the boxes for us!! Thank you so much! We’ll be back for sure!”
“So happy I found Evelyn for weekly day care! They've been soo accommodating and flexible for me. Excellent communicators and always send pics of my Aussie looking so at home. Highly recommend!”
“Oliver has really enjoyed staying with Tammy! Tammy’s place is great and there’s a wonderful fenced backyard the dogs can hang out in. We really feel like Oliver is in good hands! And Tammy has been great and flexible with us.”
“Eric was awesome! I needed someone to watch Murph for the day and none of my regulars were available. Eric was my last chance and lucky for us he was available. But the real story here is that it was a great experience. Eric was extremely nice, easygoing and both him and his wife were very personable. I felt like I had known him all along and he that had watched Murphy before. Their dog, Bacon, is as gentle as can be and got along well with Murphy. I definitely will look to use Eric's services in the future.”
“Danielle is awesome, she’s responsible and aware of our needs. A truly reliable dog sitter with a beautiful home that is well kept and free of any hazards. We will use her again for sure!”
About: Hi! 😊 My name is Eleanor. We accept only one client at a time! We are home full time. I have always loved dogs! I love discovering the unique personalities of every dog I meet whether it's on a walk, in my care, or at a dog adoption event. I have provided dog care for my friends and neighbors for 40+ years. I have also fostered many dogs and puppies for a local rescue group. I have experience with senior dogs and young puppies. Hi! I am home full time which means your dog will get a lot of attention and TLC. Playtime and potty: Numerous backyard time throughout the day Meal time: I typically separate the dogs during meals so they do not 'share' :) I require a meet and greet with your dog before a scheduled stay to make sure your dog gets along with my pets and feels comfortable in our home. You may want to book daycare before a longer stay so your dog gets used to our home. It is important that your dog is well behaved and is not aggressive or reactive to other dogs. Our cat keeps to himself most of the day. We live in a single family home with a fenced-in yard (6' high PVC) and 1 friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. We also have a XL crate that can be used if your dogs prefers. The cat litter is kept in a room blocked off by pet gates where only the cat will have access.
“Liz and her family were great! They took excellent care of my pup during the day. I felt at ease knowing that Louie was safe and having fun. I would definitely use Liz again for doggy daycare!”

“Cathy was very warm and welcoming to Archy. He seemed comfortable right from the beginning of the day and he was happy and engaged when we returned in the evening to pick him up. This was a great first day away for Archy and we will definitely return for Cathy's care! Thank you! Joe”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Allendale on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Allendale 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 11,027 sitters in Allendale, 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.
