Can’t recommend Courtney and Sherwood enough. They are both very friendly, kind, and took care of my dog like it was their own. My dog has separation anxiety and they made sure to send pictures and updates throughout the day to let me know how he’s doing. You guys are great and I would strongly recommend you to anyone. Yogi told me to tell you thank you!

I work from home Monday through Friday, so your pup will get lots of attention and care. I’m available most weekends and will never be out of the house longer than it takes to run some brief errands.

About: Everyone says I am a natural with animals. I have not met a pet that didn’t melt my heart . Every interaction with an animal is one of a kind and special in its own way. Dogs truly leave imprints in your heart they are family. I believe every dog is deserving of love , cuddles and lots of patience. Repetition and Redirecting with positive reinforcement are the keys to a well behaved pup. I will offer only what is best for your furry friend. Be assured that they will be in great loving hands with me and my family. When booked for day care or boarding. I would be following a schedule with your pet. We will have a fun day filled with routines, exercise and play time for cognitive stimulation My biggest goal is to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. They will always be kept separate from other pets I have at all times. Unless you request your pup to socialize. I will offer your pup a schedule that is fitting for them.

About: I have extensive experience in pet care. I volunteered for two years at an animal shelter, where I learned to handle different types of dogs and understand their needs. Additionally, I have always had dogs at home, which has allowed me to develop a deep bond and understanding of each pet’s needs. I am 100% available to care for pets. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust as needed to ensure your pet receives all the attention and care it deserves. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of pets, whether in my home or the client’s home. At my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment, with enough space for play and rest. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I follow all provided guidelines to ensure the pet feels at home, maintaining their routine and offering lots of love and attention. In both cases, I make sure to supervise at all times and provide a danger-free environment.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs, Coco and Teddy, received! From the very beginning, Shannon was reliable, kind, and very attentive. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Coco and Teddy absolutely loved her, and it was clear they were well cared for and happy. We highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! 🐾

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Carteret

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Carteret on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 11,141 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Carteret. 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 Carteret 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 11,141 sitters in Carteret, 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.
