“I was so nervous to drop off my newly rescued small Chiweenie and Geoff and Jenny did such a good job caring for him with so much love. Super friendly and accommodating. I can’t wait for him to go back to another doggy daycare day!”
“Outstanding service! I needed a last-minute backup sitter when our regular sitter wasn't available. Karen responded -and continued to respond throughout our interaction- immediately and thoughtfully. She asked excellent questions at our "meet-n-greet" and our pup immediately warmed to her and her well-kept home. I wasn't able to tell her exactly when I would be back to pick up due to lack of cell service but she took it in stride and replied "No problem" when I was finally able to communicate. Karen is new to this site and I'm confident she will be racking up 5-star reviews in no time. I will definitely use her again and tell my friends.”
“Jinghong is a very caring sitter. My dog Bacon fell in love with her starting from meet and greet. Bacon was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates and photos. It was obvious he was happy and comfortable during his stay. Thank you for treating him with such care—I would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to others!”
“Nicole was great with my little Coco and made her feel right at home. She was very content with the other little pups and helped my husband and I through a very busy day at work. The updates she provided was exactly what we needed to see how happy she was!”
“Our sitter dropped out last minute and Manuel took care of our dog. He was very responsive to the messages and accommodating, shared pictures of our dog throughout the stay. We are very happy with his service and highly recommend him.”
“It was my first time using the Rover services, and it was certainly amazing!! Chi-wing took very good care of Enigma (my dog), kept sending photos along the way, and most importantly Enigma seemed very happy to be with this sitter! Thank you”
“Valerie was great with Ophelia. She got her outside a lot so she could sniff to her heart's content. Saw her first deer! Great communication. Thanks for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Tracy and Steve are amazing hosts and made sure our timid rescue pup felt right at home. They have great energy which helped Bonnie warm up to them quickly, and gave her her space while she got comfortable with her new surroundings. They’re also super communicative and flexible, which made me feel comfortable to have Bonnie in their care. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommended! 🌟 I booked Yubelkis last minute, and she was thankfully available. She took care of my baby for 4 days, and we stayed in constant communication. She sent me lots of pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. My pup also had plenty of friends to play with and looked so happy the entire time. I’ll definitely book with her again! 🐾💖”

On the days I have your pet, I will have plenty of time to take care of them for their scheduled time. I love animals and have pets myself so pet care falls naturally into my daily actives. From making time to walk, feed, and exercise with them. My top priority is to provide a safe environment for the pets that will be in my home or a clients home. Its very important for me to make sure I provide good communication with the owner. Before taking care of your pet, I like to discuss specific requirements my clients might need for their pet, such as feeding schedules. exercise routines, and any special needs. I give frequent updates and provide many pictures and if there’s anything of concern that I see while your pet is in my care I make sure to notify the owner immediately.

“Alessandra was super communicative throughout the day. She also sent lots of pictures of Pablo having a great time. I would definitely book with her again for doggy daycare. Thank you so much for hosting him!”
“Cinthia was amazing with Koda. She was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog and knowing he was in good hands. Would totally recommend leveraging cinthia if you have the opportunity.”
“Desi and Marylin are wonderful. They truly are dog people, and they care for my Rocky as if he was theirs. Desi was nice enough to give Rocky time to acclimate to his pack. Furthermore, he updated me couple of times a day on Rocky's status. I will definitely come back and have them take care of Rocky.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brookdale
Megan is the best! My dog is definitely not the simplest dog to take care of, but she made sure my dog felt super comfortable and happy. She sent me plenty of photos to keep me updated and made sure to ask all the right questions to make sure my dog was well taken care of. Genuinely the best dog sitting experience I’ve had!
Cinthia was amazing with Koda. She was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog and knowing he was in good hands. Would totally recommend leveraging cinthia if you have the opportunity.
Danny (and Rebecca) showed much patience when I called. He answered my questions, even if I repeated (I'm older and sometimes forget). He reassured me when I asked what his daily dog schedule is When I made inquiry with concern about Meshy's foibles, he was direct, informative. He did not personalize as a question of his ability, but understood questions as a concern about dog behavior. When we setup MEET & GREET, he introduced dogs, 1 at a time, giving Meshy and his dogs, a chance to meet without being overwhelmed. He remained approachable, but let Meshy approach him in his own time. I found Danny to be alert and perceptive to dogs, patient with my concerns as 'dog parent'. I would definitely return for care for Meshy.
Sam came thru for us even though it was such short notice. She kept updating me with pics of Rigby and she even gave her little snacks. Of course she asked for permission first. Rigby came home happy and tired. I would definitely use Sam again. You’re a rockstar Sam! Thank you for all the kindness you showed our pup 🐶 🙏🏼💜

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 Brookdale 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.
