“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!”
“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!!!!”
“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!”

“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!”

About: I’ve raised my own dog since he was just 7 weeks old, so I have hands-on experience with everything from the puppy stage to caring for an adult dog. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic training, routines, and of course lots of cuddles! I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and I treat every dog like I would my own—with lots of patience, attention, and affection. I’m also very attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they’re energetic and playful or just want someone to curl up with. I'm currently a college student on summer break, so I'm home throughout the day and have plenty of time to give your pet lots of attention! I let my own dog outside to run and play in our backyard multiple times a day, take him on walks around the neighborhood, and bring him to the park about 2–3 times a week. I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s specific exercise, feeding, and care needs. I have a large backyard with plenty of space for your fur baby to run around and play with my dog. There are woods behind my home, so I always make sure pets are safely supervised while outside. Inside, your pet will be treated like part of the family and given plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and a comfortable space to relax. I’m also happy to follow any routines, rules, feeding schedules, or special instructions you have so your pet feels as comfortable and safe as possible.
“This was my first time where my 13 month chocolate lab spent the day with Andres and she had the most amazing time. Andres was respectful, interactive, kind, and took great care of Maui. We look forward to meeting Shannon next week when we booked a second day where it will be a longer period of time. We were very pleased with our experience and would recommend Andres for caring of your loved dog. He followed as our actions when it came to walking, feeding and playfulness and the one main advantage we liked in their listing was that they had one on one time with Maui and he was extremely respectful of that. Thank you again for a wonderful sitting.”
“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!”

“Jessica and her mom took wonderful care of my dog, Scooter. He was anxious and shy at first, but they created such a calm, welcoming environment that helped him feel comfortable.

I highly recommend them, and Scooter will definitely be back!”

About: Hi! We’re Matt and Katherine. After 17 wonderful years with our beloved mutt, Bella, we find ourselves as "dog empty nesters" with a lot of love (and a big back yard!) to share. We know how hard it is to leave your furry family members, so we make it our mission to spoil your pups just like our own. Whether it’s long games of fetch in our massive yard or cozy snuggles on the couch, your dog will be part of the family here. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have constant companionship and a flexible routine. I take frequent breaks throughout the day for potty runs, backyard exploration, and focused playtime, ensuring they never feel lonely and get plenty of exercise and love. Our two-acre property is unfenced, offering a wonderful sense of freedom. Depending on your dog's comfort level and recall reliability, we can enjoy off-leash play together, or I am happy to keep them on a long lead for safety. We share custody of our two elementary-aged children; they are very respectful of animals and love having "guest" pups around. We always ensure a supervised and secure environment for everyone.
About: We are a loving and lively household where we will snuggle and play fetch with your pup, take them to the dog park, and keep them happy and occupied. My husband and I have a very active goldendoodle, Bell, who is 9 years old. Neither of us remember a time when there wasn't a dog in the house growing up! We know that we are taking on no small task when we agree to be responsible for your furry friend. We will follow your instructions to a T and we realize that every doggo is their own unique individual with their own unique needs. We are pros when it comes to high-energy dogs with a mind of their own! I am a full-time parent of three and we have a dog of our own whom we are home with all day. Staying active with our doodle is an integral part of our daily routine and we would love to have even more walks, games of fetch, and tricks + treats to look forward to! We LOVE to love on your pet! In our home you can expect a minimum of two 20-minute walks a day, plus more upon request and some leash time in our back yard if they like to hang out and observe the world. We are big proponents of fetch and chase.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 10,260 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Brookside. 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 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.
