“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.”
“Excellent and caring provider. She takes the time to speak to you about your pet’s needs as well as spending the time to learn and experience your pet. She is extremely knowledgeable about all types and ages of dogs and their needs. She is very flexible with scheduling. She provided constant feedback throughout via texts, pictures and videos. My puppy had a wonderful experience with Jessica and her crew!”
“Briaan took good care of our little girl. The meet and greet was smooth. Our dog was comfortable with Briaan. She kept us informed during the sitting. She responded fast to the message. Will come back.”

“Max’s stay at Jessica’s was absolutely amazing! His adjustment (well, really our adjustment lol) was so smooth, and we felt very comforted with the updates and seeing our boy so happy and loved.

“Kayla was an amazing sitter. She was responsive and sent us pictures throughout the day. She even spent extra time and energy to help me fit my dog's huge crate into my car! Would definitely recommend.”
“My puppy had a great day with Isabella. He loves her family right after he arrived. He played in the yard and in the house. He also played with Isabella's dog very well. Isabella sent me plenty of pictures and videos through the day. Her son also spent a good amount of time playing with my puppy. It is very clear that he was taken good care of and he will love to visit Isabella's house again. Isabella's service deserves a five-star.”
“Armani had a great time during his sit as he came back energetic and super playful! They also provided constant updates which I absolutely loved. They definitely took care of my puppy, so I highly recommend!”
“Connor was amazing with my newly adopted dog, Wendy! I was very nervous leaving her as Wendy is still learning to trust new humans so she is a little anxious in new environments. But Connor understood, gave her space and kept her comfortable during her first doggy day care experience. She had fun socializing with his dog Kygo along with some other dog friends outside in his fully fenced backyard. Connor put me at ease with updates and pictures as well. I will be using Connor again in the future and definitely recommend his services to others!”
“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.”

I have always been the go to person in my neighborhood when someone is out of town and needs someone to stop by their house or even care for their pets. I currently work part time so I have extra time on my hands. I have a large dog of my own and two cats so pet care is not unfamiliar to me Because I have a large dog of my own and two cats, I know what their needs and wants are.

Millie did a great job taking care of our puppy, Penny. Both daycare visits, Penny came home happy and tired. Millie was able to accommodate a short notice request, which I always appreciate. She communicated throughout the day so we knew how Penny was doing and she was on time for pick up and drop off. We will definitely request her again in the future and highly recommend!!

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 Chatham 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 11,058 sitters in Chatham, 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.
