“Lenny has doggie daycare down to a science. She has a spacious home with several sections for different temperaments of dogs so they stay safe and relaxed during their stay. Our two dogs had their own room in the house. They were well taken care of while we were unable to take them with us on our evenings while traveling. At the last minute they saved us from being kicked out of our hotel (due to barking). Thank you Lenny!”
“Joanna is great. She asked the right questions and was very responsive whenever I asked her one. She kept sending pictures and videos during the stay. Our dog, Luna, liked her and went back to her even after I was there to pick her up. It gives you such a peace of mind when you know someone as caring is watching your pet. We plan to use her again.”
“Kiana was graciously willing to host our pup last minute for doggy day care. She was very communicative, professional, and flexible -- which made the process so easy! Would certainly recommend!”
“I am so thankful for Savi! She was available such last minute for a family emergency. She sent pictures and Cashew had a great time and definitely played a lot since he arrived back home ready for bed :)”
“Such great care of my Brownie even when he wasn’t feeling his best! Pam is a great communicator, sends pics, asks questions and even her dad is friendly! Will definitely be booking again!”

We want your pet to feel at home, safe, loved, and well accompanied. We enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, and making sure their days are fun and relaxed. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, which is why we are committed to providing responsible, loving, and dedicated care For the past 8 years, we’ve been the go-to dog sitters for our family and friends whenever vacation time rolls around. We truly enjoy spending time with their pets and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved—so much so, it never feels like a job, just a lot of tail wags and good company. 👩💻 I work from home 1–2 days a week, and my husband works remotely full-time, which allows us to be present and attentive most of the day. 🐶 Your pet will be part of our daily routine, receiving personalized attention, constant companionship, and lots of love. We would be happy to care for your best friend as if they were our own! 💛 🏡 We don’t have children, and we live in a spacious home with a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for your pet to play safely and freely.
“Oscar had a great time at their house. My dog loves to be out and their huge backyard was something that my dog loved the most and played with other dogs. They share a lot of pictures and videos and keep me updated throughout the day. They take care of my dog like their own and I would definitely rebook with them”
“Dipali and Sunny were wonderful! They provided a lot of updates and were super responsive. You could tell my dog Kaia was in good hands. 100% will be booking them again in the future.”
“Namrata has a beautiful home and yard where my grand dog had a really fun time. He has pretty bad separation anxiety, but her gigantic yard was a great distraction for a dog who doesn't get a chance to run very often, especially with new friends. He and Tin Tin had a lot of fun playing together. My daughter and I are calmer knowing we have a place to bring our boy when he visits Granny. I am recommending her to my friend as well.”
About: Hello thank you for your interest. I am an animal lover with many years of experience. I have cared for a variety of animals of all sizes. I have experience with administering medication. I work full time from home which allows me to have pets stay with me and they are not left alone. I am a responsible person who takes anything I commit to very serious. Your pet will be cared for and be given lots of love. My references are reputable and all my clients love me! **Full transparency I have a 3 year old rescue dog who gets along with all types of dogs and loves the company. If you would rather my dog not be present when I'm caring for your pup I can make arrangements for him to go to Grandma's** I work from home full time and I only take one family at a time up to 3 dogs. So I will only be caring for your pets. Your pets will be taken outside every hour they will have as many walks you prefer, but it's usually 3 walks a day depending on age, health, etc
“This was a last minute booking for Layla and I was excited to see Layla refusing to go home at the end. Tanvi is an excellent host and I'll definitely be a repeat customer pretty soon!”
“Luciana was absolutely wonderful with Bheem and Bhairav! She was incredibly accommodating, especially since my request was last minute, and took such great care of them throughout the day. She even gave them a little pedicure, took them on walks, and regularly shared pictures and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Both dogs looked super comfortable, happy, and clearly enjoyed their day with her. Highly recommend Luciana ... reliable, caring, and genuinely great with dogs!”
“Anna and Zilin took Mooncake in on last minute notice and we couldn’t be more thankful! Mooncake had a great time and we would love for them to dog sit her again :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Applegarth
Sowmya and Gaurav were wonderful! They graciously accommodated our last-minute request and were extremely flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. They were communicative, reliable, and so kind throughout. Mello was clearly well cared for, and we couldn't be more grateful for their help. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and accommodating sitters!
We had a great experience with Somya! We were coming for an event from out of state, so we were nervous about not knowing the lay of the land and how everything would work out, but Somya made it easy with great communication! Our dog was also in a strange place and had just been on on 3 hour car journey, and when we received him back at the end of the drop-in, he was well balanced and happy. Thanks so much Sonmya!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,640 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Applegarth. 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 Applegarth 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 November 2026, there are 1,640 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,640 sitters in Applegarth, 88% 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 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.
