“Debbie sent pictures and all I saw were 2 small dogs who did not miss their human Mom. There was play time (smiles and action), down time (cuddling and relaxing). I was always under the impression they sat in a corner and missed me with all their tiny hearts, but no - Debbie had them going the whole time! One fell asleep on the drive home due to the days action, the other needed every minute of tthe days action! Her property is amazing! Gorgeous setting only maybe two or three miles from downtown Bernardsville. So much safe space to run and play in. Exploring is at the top of Louie's requirements and he had a whole acre of fenced in yard to get all his Terrier on! Thanks so much Debbie! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!”
“Chloe had an absolute blast — chasing her pup pals like a wannabe track star and relaxing in the shade like the little lady she is. Thanks for taking such great care of her! Can’t wait for her next adventure with you!”
“Lisa was a wonderful dog sitter for Ellie’s daycare! She was so easy to communicate with for planning the visit, responsive for a meet and greet, and sent lovely pictures throughout the daycare stay. Ellie would love to stay with Lisa again!”
“Kathleen is so sweet and was great with Boba! She took her on multiple walks in the park, fed her and took care of Boba like she was her own. Boba seemed very happy and satisfyingly tired with her day stay. I would definitely have Boba staying with Kathleen again if the need arises!”
“Sarah is wonderful. Sarah and her family helped me feel comfortable and relaxed on vacation. Sarah kept me updated with texts and pictures throughout the entire stay. Finding someone trustworthy to care for your loved one can be agonizing, and I am so happy to have found Sarah. I could not recommend her enough and will absolutely be returning. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Kamini was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She kept me updated every few hours with photos and videos of Biscuit having the best time with her dog, Pia. He came home happy and tired! I 100% recommend her services and will absolutely be rebooking soon!”
“George had a wonderful time at Jillian’s home. Jillian sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which was a thoughtful addition! My George suffers from separation anxiety and upon picking him up there were not signs of that. We are so thankful that we found Jillian! Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!”

“We found Jessica P. when we were in town visiting family and needed to board our pup for the day. Jessica was great — very communicative and easy to work with! She sent plenty of pics to show us that our dog was relaxed and engaged and having a good visit. We would not hesitate to leave our pup with Jessica again for daycare.”

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, care, and lots of love.
About: I used to dog sitting my friends dog because I couldn’t have my own dog. So I gained dog sitting experience from there. Now I have my own baby, and I would still love to share my love with other dogs. My baby also loves to make friends. So it’s a win win situation. Walking the dogs two to three times. Morning, before lunch, and dinner. Playtime and socializing time with my dog. If there’s special needs, let me know. I live in an apartment where there are two dog parks around. There is a path by my apartment and by the river which is safe to walk.
“I cannot emphasize as much how wonderful Andres has been with Maui. He is truly kind, gentle and fun and Maui cannot wait to get out of the car quick enough to greet Andres. Thank you!”
“Jackie was wonderful with our little puppy! She sent updates throughout the day and was very good to work with. We will be using her a lot in the future! She's a great communicator, too. Very caring and he was in excellent hands!”
“Vanessa was super helpful. Cooper is a very energetic puppy.He always gets excited when meeting new people or being in a new environment, and apparently he was excited and didn't nap the entire morning, but Vanessa was very patient in taking care of him and kept me informed throughout the day by sending me the updates and photos. Cooper looked happy when he was with Vanessa and when I picked him up. I'll definitely go back to Vanessa for help in the future.”

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Brookside on Rover is $52.5 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Brookside 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 10,260 sitters in Brookside, 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.
