“Kathleen is the best. I knew I was leaving Stella in good hands as when I dropped off Stella, she immediately ran over to Kathleen and greeted with her with a couple of kisses/licks hello. Stella had a great day as she slept soundly that night. Highly recommend :-)”
“Linda was so helpful and accommodating to us. We were coming in from out of town, and we needed several hours of care with less than two days' notice. She was flexible with start and ending times, and took excellent care of our bichon, who hates being left with anyone. We definitely hope she is available again when we visit next year.”
“This is my first time leaving Stella for the day when I adopted her about 2 months ago. Rachel is the best as she keep me informed about how Stella was doing throughout the day and kept her very active. It really took the stress/anxiety away while I had to take care of my activities for that day. I know Rachel did a great job looking after Stella as Stella slept soundly that night :-) Cheers”
About: I have experience with all dogs, big and small. I can be trusted with all activities, from day care to simple walks around the neighborhood. My work is flexible with time and place. I work in homes and telehealth, so I am home for majority of the day. I would only be out a maximum 2 hours. I take care of the pup and their environment! I will make sure to take cautionary measures to prevent injury, including keeping the home cleaned and free of items that they could pick up.
About: Ever wish you knew someone in town who could care for your pet as lovingly as you do? Well, now you do! I provide private boarding in my home, individual pet sitting in your home, and fun & attentive walks. I am extremely tuned in to your pet's comfort, safety, and enrichment. I make sure every pet in my care gets plenty of physical and mental exercise and has lots of fun doing it! I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years. Over the last 2 years, I've had the experience of caring for my senior (17-year-old) dog who became both blind and deaf. I am especially happy to provide care for your senior or special needs dog. I'm comfortable diapering, giving drops and meds, changing wee wee pads, and doing extra clean up. Caring for pets is my main job so I have availability 7 days a week. I am happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever I am available. For boarding or doggie day care, your dog will be in my large, puppy-proofed living room. I have half a dozen cozy dog beds, dog toys, and treat puzzles. Dogs are also allowed on all furniture. Our Paw-ncierge Kessie is a very calm, 9-year-old Shih Tzu. She is dedicated to welcoming all furry friends 24/7, 365 days a year. My house is located 5-minutes from the beach, 10 minutes to the dog beach in either Asbury or Spring Lake, and about 10 minutes from the Off-Leash Dog Parks in Neptune and Wall.

“Fiona was excellent with my sweet old lady. She sent pictures and was a great communicator. You can tell she loves dogs and it shows through her quality of care. Thank you Fiona! Would definitely book again.”
About: Hi my name is Micaela and one thing about me is that I adore animals! I love all animals so very much. I also feel that I work really well with them. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Most of my dogs have been big dogs so I’m pretty good with handling any challenge that’s thrown my way. I’ve had more aggressive and protective dogs as well as laid back dogs and I’ve loved all. I’ve also worked at local shelters in my hometown and felt that that helped me gain more experience working with varying animals. I trained a couple of my dogs from a young age and though I’m not certified I felt that I did a pretty good job. I’m very patient and very genuine. I also watched my dogs whenever my parents would go on business trips which was quite often so I’d say this is the perfect job for me! I’m a college student but have majority of my classes online so my schedule is pretty clear. I love being outdoors and in nature so dog walking is right up my alley. I also love just chilling at home so I have no problem with that as well. I will always be respectful of others space especially if they are allowing me to stay in their home and watch their animals. I would say I’m a pretty neat person and don’t mind cleaning up if anything is needed. Genuinely it makes me happy to help others around the house if necessary. I used to babysit for a while and would always tidy up when I could find the time. I recently moved and now live with my grandparents and mom. We also have a chocolate lab who’s very energetic and loves to play. We have a fenced in yard and a conservation close to our house so there’s plenty of space for the animals. We love having dogs in the house.
“Thank you Alexis for taking care of our Connor Boy. We appreciate all the photos and could see Connor was having a terrific time playing with Levi and all the toys you had for him. We also appreciate your prompt communication your prompt replies to our questions or concerns. We can see you have a genuine love for animals and really enjoy having them as guests at your home. We look forward to booking a follow-up date when the opportunity comes up.”
“A GODSEND. We call Kathy’s place “Resort de la Vizsla” and my pup Frannie has the BEST DAYS EVER there. Kathy has been more than kind to me and Frannie with drop off and pick up hours, as I work long days at Jersey Shore Med. If you’re a nurse or work in the area this is THE BEST!!! I know my pup is loved, cared for and get pictures to show all the snuggles and snacks. If you’re nervous about finding a good sitter… look no further!!!! You found HEAVEN.”
About: I’ve spent my life working with a host of dogs - from family pets to reactive dogs or those with complex medical needs . I have experience with all temperaments and am comfortable managing reactive dogs, strict schedules, and intensive care requirements. My first priority is keeping their day-to-day as consistent as possible. I’ll always follow your training cues and preferred commands to continue your hard work. Whether it’s an overnight or an daily drop in, I keep their routine predictable to make a stressful situation as smooth as possible. I send frequent updates and take loads of pictures - so you can rest assured your little guy is well taken care of ! I’m an online student with no 9-5 restrictions so your dog gets genuine care and attention, not just a "barely there" drop in. I love going on outings and adventures (if your comfortable with that), and I prioritize safety above all else. We stick to quiet environments where we can explore and sniff comfortably without the stress of unwanted dog-to-dog interactions. I never let them get nose-to-nose with other pets, or go to high dog populated spaces. I’m currently accepting new clients for the 2026 season and would love to meet your pet! Send me a message and we can talk about your dog’s needs. As a WFH & online student, my schedule is open and very flexible. I don’t have that 9-to-5 absence, and am able to provide genuine care and continuous supervision. Whether your dog has intensive care requirements, a strict schedule, or needs to go out every two hours, I adapt my schedule around their needs. I am available for structured day-to-day care, boarding, house sitting, and can accommodate last-minute bookings Safety and routine consistency are my top priorities. Handing your dog over to someone new is stressful, for you and for them. I mitigate this by following your specific training cues, household rules, and preferred commands so your hard work never gets undone. When out and about we go to dog friendly spaces - outdoor bars, hikes, or businesses where dogs are welcome, while avoiding spaces over run with others like dog parks or pet smart. As much as I love a good furry friend, I'm taking care of your loved one and take responsibility for their care and wellbeing seriously.
“Michelle was great with my little puppy. She was very patient and took Shelly on lots of walks. I would definitely use Michelle again as she was also very friendly and professional.”
About: I am a loving, friendly, caring and professional female. I have experience dog walking, cat sitting, and pet sitting birds, reptiles and other small animals.

I am currently home full time so I have plenty of availability to walk, provide loving care and look after your dogs, cats and furry friends! At my home, I have a little unfenced yard and cabinets/trash cans are baby proofed so your pets won’t get into any trouble here! At your home, I take care of your pets and house as it was my own.

Nicole was a super fantastic, amazing sitter for Isaac. She's quick to respond to messages and really easy to communicate with. We're here on vacation at Asbury Park and wanted to spend a day on the boardwalk and beach. She was able to help us out with just a ~48 hours notice so we're really lucky we were able to get someone so awesome like her on short notice to watch our dog. Our dog can be a spicy meatball around other dogs so it was also great that she was able to watch just him, without other dogs around. She was available for a meet and greet same day we started messaging which was great. She was also very very very accommodating with us as we asked to have her pick up our dog a bit earlier on the day and then later on, we messaged her to drop him off a little later. Next time we're in Asbury Park and we need a dog sitter, we're def hiring Nicole again! 10/10 would always recommend.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Allenhurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 8,825 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Allenhurst. 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 Allenhurst 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 8,825 sitters in Allenhurst, 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.
