“My dog Opal loves going to Jaclynns house! She stays with her every time I am in the area for work and it makes things so much easier for me. She is always exhausted at the end of the day from all the activities they do.”
“Lisa kindly dogsat for me at her home on a weekend day. My 4-month old pup had a great time with her and her pug (who is really cute). She had another client stay longer than expected, so ended up unexpectedly with three puppies on the same day! But she kept great communication and kept our appointment, which I really appreciated. You can feel Lisa's compassion for dogs. She keeps a very neat and clean home and property and has a fenced in backyard. Really glad to have her in the neighborhood!”

“We were in town while traveling and needed someone to watch our dog while we visited New York City. Ruby loved visiting with Marisol and her family! She took excellent care of her! We knew Ruby had fun because she was so excited to go back the second day! If we are ever in the area again, I would definitely call Marisol!”
“Katie is absolutely amazing! She is communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took such great care of Hatchi and made sure that he was comfortable and happy the entire time. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how he was doing. It’s clear that Katie genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and Hatchi came back relaxed and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter. Thank you Katie!”
About: I have experience with both younger dogs and elderly dogs. I have specifically worked with senior dogs, who required special care getting around, keeping track of their medication schedule, and their diets. I'm currently working part time and remotely, so I'll have a lot of time to spend with your dogs. I also enjoy taking walks, so I'll make sure your dogs are getting the outside time they need! I have a large fenced in yard at my home, along with plenty of dog toys. I can also crate your dog if needed. There are also a few trails nearby which are easy and engaging for dogs to walk through.

“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.”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and absolutely love spending time with them — playing, teaching tricks, and taking them on walks. I grew up around dogs and have a real passion for it! I only take one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and focus throughout the stay. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can walk your dog in the early morning, during lunch, and in the late afternoon/evening — basically as needed throughout the day. I live in a house with my sweet two-year-old daughter, who is gentle and great with animals (no grabbing or rough play!). Because of this, I’m looking to care for friendly, calm dogs who are comfortable around kids. If your pup fits that description, I’d love to give them a fun, attentive stay full of walks, play, and maybe even a new trick or two!
“Eunice was so great with Mocha. He’s a senior so he needs a little more care and attention and Eunice had a great handle on it. He looked like he had such a great time!”
About: Hi, I’m Corrine! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me so much joy. I grew up with dogs and even had one by my side all throughout my college years, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pup. I have plenty of experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, and I always make sure to adapt to their unique needs—whether that means lots of playtime, patient training reinforcement, or slow strolls. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and stayovers, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐶 Fits very well, I work completely remote and find myself have a lot of extra time on my hands. So it is easy for me to take a pause and walk your pup or work remote while doing a stay over or day care. In my client’s home, I make sure to follow their specific routines and instructions so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I always prioritize their safety by keeping a close eye on their environment, making sure food, water, and any medications are given on schedule, and sticking to their normal feeding and walking times. I also give plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep them happy and engaged. If I’m staying over, I treat the home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything tidy and making sure your pet feels calm and cared for throughout the day and night. My goal is always to give pets the consistency they need so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“Our golden retriever, Oliver and I met with Louis and his dog, George, a few days before Oliver's day care visit. During our meet & greet, "Ollie", had a compatibility session with Louis' dog George. They got along great. Louis' spacious fenced-in yard was an ideal setting for safe out-door play. Louis sent us several pictures during Ollie's visit showing us that Ollie was having a great time. We couldn't be happier and Ollie will be visiting again soon! Thank you, Louis!”
“June was great while taking care of our pup. Kept us posted on all of the activities and shared pictures and videos. Molly looked like she had a blast with other Boston terrier June was caring for that day. Good experience. Recommended.”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Mahita’s exceptional care for our puppy, Szofi! From the start, she was incredibly thoughtful, taking the time to understand Szofi’s routine and needs. Her patience with our playful little one was evident, and Szofi absolutely adored her and her family. What truly set her apart were the constant updates she sent us, including photos and little notes that brought such peace of mind. It was so comforting to see Szofi happy and well-cared-for while we were working. We can tell that she genuinely loves dogs and what she does, and it makes all the difference. Thank you, Mahita, for treating Szofi like family!”

As an experienced dog owner, I understand the importance of following your instructions, maintaining your dog’s routine, and making sure they feel safe and cared for.

About: We love our dog but we aren’t crazy dog people. Our home is clean. We have a friendly husky and a large fenced yard. We don’t leave for longer than 2 hours when we have a dog over and generally take 1 guest dog at a time. We work from home and only watch when we can be here every 2 hours. We don’t go out for more than 2 hours with a dog staying. I have a big fenced yard and a friendly husky that will keep your pet entertained. We also have a great dog walking neighborhood and path.
“I left my 3 y/o high energy slightly difficult dog (75lb Shepard and pit mix) with Jonathan for daycare and they did great together! Jonathan managed her and other dogs he was caring for safely and had no concerns. He is able to provide the type of high level of exercise she needs and was comfortable with her quirks and able to accommodate them with ease. I feel comfortable leaving him with her for her week long boarding session next month. Thanks Jonathan!”
“Sriram & Rekha S. was super sweet and attentive to Ace. He communicated with me during the whole day. And contacted me as well once my sister picked up Ace. Will be booking with him again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Brookside is $53 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $64 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 November 2026, there are 10,166 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.
As of November 2026, there are 10,166 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
