“Emily is wonderful. I had my first puppy for less than 1 month when my work schedule demanded that I work a Saturday all day and night. I found Emily on Rover.com and trusted my instinct that she would be a great puppy sitter, for my puppy ...and for me. Before finding Emily I feared I'd spend 9 hours worried about my dog, and the day/ night would drag on feeling like forever. Thanks to Emily I had no worries whatsoever! I loved seeing the photos and video she sent, further boosting my confidence my dog was happy, healthy, safe and in the best of care. Please if you are seeking any services for dog sitting/ care, know that Emily and her household (her dogs, animals, and husband) are trustworthy, responsible, and the best! This coming from an over anxious first time puppy owner who was a complete stranger to Emily before luckily finding her on this website. I decided on utilizing Emily over friends/ family because of her knowledge and experience. Im so glad I did, it was the best choice. Thanks so much Emily, and I'll 100% be reaching out for future puppy care again! :)”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I take the time to make every pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and care instructions. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I have flexibility in my schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, daycare, and other pet care needs depending on the day and service. I’m happy to communicate about your pet’s schedule ahead of time so I can make sure they receive the attention and care they need with early notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and pay close attention to their pet’s behavior, routine, and needs. I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and provide a calm and clean environment. I’ll also keep you updated during visits so you know how your pet is doing.

“Marleny saved our day out with friends. We are from NJ and were heading to Easton for the day but our sitter close to home had canceled on us. We contacted Marleny late the evening before and she was happy to help. Our one girl is a rescue and suffers from severe separation anxiety so she can never be left unattended. Marleny assured us that she would be home the entire time and that made us feel very comfortable while out enjoying our day with friends. Will definitely use Marleny again when visiting friends in the area. Thank you soooooo much.”

“Roberta was great with my Cavapoo Emma. She has a big fenced in yard for outdoor activity and potty breaks. Her little dog was socialized nicely and very welcoming to mine. I trusted her for a full day that I was away for a day trip to the Jersey Shore. I would definitely use her again if we are ever in the area. Definitely 5 stars! thanks. Dawn”

About: Hi, I'm Chrystal, a new pet sitter in Hellertown with 22 years of experience owning and caring for dogs. I've cared for puppies, seniors, medication needs and dogs who need lots of love and attention. On visits, your pet gets any specific needs met along with a potty break and playtime, fresh water, and a photo update after every stay. A bit about me: I grew up with pets ranging from a pony to a fox as well as dogs and cats. As an adult, I have been lucky enough to have a Rottie, Frenchie and Boston Terrier. But no current pets at this time. I work from home full time and would love some company or chance to stretch my legs and do drop-ins I offer drop-ins, boarding and daycare. and I'd love to set up a free Meet & Greet so we can all get comfortable before booking. I can do walks or drop-ins during the day or in the mornings and evenings as needed. I'm an early riser so early visits are fine. I have no other pets in the household but do have a child in the house. Our yard is not fenced so any potty breaks would be supervised and leashed.

About: I’m David, a dedicated Pet Pawtrait Photographer 🐾📸 and the owner of Charlie’s Pet Pawtraits & Boutique in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me it’s a heartfelt passion inspired by my beloved pup Charlie, who was with me for over 11 wonderful years. Losing him was tough, but it left me with an abundance of love 💙 I’m eager to share with other dogs through both personalized care and capturing their spirit through photography. I offer a boutique, home-like dog care environment 🏡 where I never take in more than 1–3 dogs at a time, ensuring your dog receives plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime in our spacious indoor gallery, and adventures on the nearby D&L Trail as well as numerous local parks 🚶🌳🐕. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and peace of mind are my top priorities I treat every pup as if they were my own family. I’m also a proud dad to a mature 10 year old who lovingly helps me care for dogs, adding to the warm and nurturing atmosphere 👧❤️. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a calm senior, or anywhere in between, I’m patient and adaptable to their needs. As a special thank you for choosing my care, I’ll send you beautiful photos of your dog enjoying their stay and if you’d like, high quality non watermarked downloads of these photos are available upon request 🎁✨. This way, you get to see just how happy and comfortable your pup is during their time with us! In addition to care, I offer pet portrait sessions either in my studio or at your favorite location and many pet owners enjoy choosing one of our recommended local spots near the studio for a special outing and photoshoot 🎞️🐶. I’m excited to meet your pup and provide a personalized, loving experience that truly sets us apart from typical kennel style sitters. As the owner of our pet photography boutique and photography studio 🐾📸, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I prioritize making sure every pup in my care feels loved and well attended to 💙. My 10 year old daughter, who is mature and gentle 👧❤️, is often excited to help out and meet new furry friends, adding to the loving, family like environment. Pet care is truly integrated into our daily life and brings so much joy to both of us 😊. This balance allows me to provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime 🐕🎾, and peaceful rest moments for every dog, while also continuing to grow my photography passion and business. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I gave my own beloved pup 🐕❤️ a love that was abundant and unconditional. I create a safe, nurturing environment 🏡 where every dog feels comfortable, valued, and truly at home. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with attentive, compassionate care that puts their well being first 🐾😊.

About: I have loved and taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs from puppies to seniors and understand how to care to all their needs. Along with that I take the time to really get to know each dog on their own and establish a connection so that each party is happy. I currently work a full time job. However I work from home so that allows me to be flexible with my time and always there to attend to the dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own to give your fur baby’s company. The dogs can free roam around the house but I’ll always make sure I can see them. If preferred to be caged that is also possible.

About: Need a summer or holiday break? Don't worry, I've got you covered. I love dogs, and dogs love me. I have been a proud pet owner for nearly 20 years, and have had the pleasure of caring for several dogs on this site - each with its own personality. I have a Westie, who loves playing with other dogs - big or small. I will be gentle but firm with your pet. Your dog will get a daily walk on the Delaware Canal, a nearby quiet country road, or for a treat, the dog park. I also have a fenced-in outdoor area where he or she can wander. I can play ball with your dog or tug-o-war. Your dog can wander freely in my house and can sleep where he or she feels comfortable. I do work 8 to 4 weekdays but have all federal and state holidays off. My uncle is here to supervise when I am at work. I have a fenced-in side yard for dogs to exercise and get fresh air. Pets will be monitored at all times to ensure their safety

About: Hi! My name is Tierney! I graduated from Purdue University with my bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity and earned my master’s degree from Rutgers University. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets when you can’t be there. I have experience staying in clients’ homes while they’re away and caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. Whether it’s going on walks, playing fetch, spending time outside, or simply keeping your pets company, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I work primarily from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pets plenty of attention. I understand how important it is to maintain their normal routines and follow any specific instructions you have. I’m also happy to provide updates while you’re away so you know how your pets are doing! I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pets are being well cared for, getting plenty of attention, and staying as close to their usual routine as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Caring for animals has always been a part of my everyday life! When meeting a new dog, I like to learn all the little details about their personality, routine, and needs to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their usual schedule so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Alpha

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Alpha is $31 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $39 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 726 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alpha. 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 Alpha 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.

As of October 2026, there are 726 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NJ. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 726 sitters in Alpha, 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
