“William is an excellent Dog Sitter. His hours are very flexible, if I get stuck at work a little late. My dog loves him. As soon as we pull up to the house, he starts wagging his tail all excited to go visit his new friends.”
“Kevin is the best! My anxious cavapoo Cleo, absolutely loves staying with him! She is always so happy and relaxed with him! Kevin is incredibly kind, easygoing, and flexible, which makes coordinating everything so stress-free. His communication is always clear and consistent, and I never have to worry when Cleo is with him. The biggest thing for me is how comfortable and happy Cleo feels in his care! Highly, highly recommend Kevin!”
“It was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous at first, but that quickly changed once we met Evgenii. Our dog seemed to become friends with him right away! He kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book with Evgenii again whenever we are in the neighborhood.”
“William was great we would personally use him again and highly recommend him. His pre-booking communication was awesome. During the stay he kept in contact with us letting us know how Hairy was doing and provided pictures throughout the stay.”
About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.
“Jonathan was excellent. He introduced my dog to his own dogs so that they can get comformtable around each other since my dog is afraid of big dogs. Jonathan kept updating me throughout the day with pictures and text messages. I was very happy with the service and care my pet got from Jonathan and will definitely go back to them in futuure.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and two years ago I worked with a dog-sitting company—a truly rewarding experience. I love being surrounded by these four-legged friends, and I have a natural ability to communicate with them. I am currently off for the summer, but starting in September, I will be mostly available after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for every pet. We’ve recently added a secure fence to our extra-large backyard so visiting pups now have a spacious, supervised play area to run, explore, and burn off energy. In addition, I make sure dogs stay active and engaged with daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored to their age and energy level. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks—so they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar space. My goal is always to provide consistency, safety, and lots of loving attention, whether I’m hosting your pet or caring for them in your home.
“Jennifer is amazing. She kept me informed throughout the whole day and took care of my pup like he was her own. I can tell he was very well taken care of! I also love that she has two little dogs as playmates and young children that also enjoyed playing with him.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12; always had one in my family in addition to helping out others around my community. I am reliable and friendly when it comes to caring for your pet and I have taught my dog a bit of Spanish- commands in particular. I'm currently finishing up my Masters degree (night classes); however I am available full time- give or take. I'm more than happy to discuss specific times (if necessary) I have a fenced yard, in addition to having one dog currently in my home full time (that's my own). Super friendly older dog- no worries
“Lorrie is understand, helpful and communicative. She took time to discuss over a phone call for my dogs needs and we set up a day stay before a longer sit! Highly recommend.”

I have hands-on experience providing safe, reliable, and loving care ensuring they feel at home even when their family is away. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments—covering everything from daily feeding and exercise to giving medications and keeping them calm in new environments. Why families trust me: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I keep their routine consistent, so they feel at home. I’m patient and gentle with pets that are shy, or need extra attention.

“Dawn is the best! Benny is our first ever pup as a family, so we were very nervous leaving him for the first time overnight, but Dawn took care of our dog with exceptional care and love. Communication was great from the start. She is responsive, provides regular updates, sends adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away from him, and even gave our puppy a bone to play with that helped with his teething problem. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, especially ours ☺️ and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
About: My husband and I both grew up with several dogs in our homes as children, and while we have no children of our own, our fur baby is a ten month old Shih-Poo, whose name is "Reesie". Reesie is the sweetest boy, who loves to cuddle, play, and run outside in the dog park! I'm currently a stay at home fur mom, and typically take our pup for walks every few hours! My husband and I take him to a park several nights a week after dinner to allow him time to exercise and play! There is a fenced in dog park here at our apartment complex, and we are willing to adapt to your pup's needs if a crate is necessary.
“Alley took amazing care of our dog Libby. She was communicative and thoughtful. She gave Libby puzzle toys and lick mats for some stimulation while it was too cold to play outside. Would highly recommend”

William is a very nice, caring, friendly man. He watched my 11 week old bullmastiff pup and I couldn't have asked for a better person to watch him for the day. William provided photos of him playing in the yard with the other dogs and socializing with the neighbors. He is an all around good guy and I would definitely recommend and use him again in the future.
Kevin is the best! My anxious cavapoo Cleo, absolutely loves staying with him! She is always so happy and relaxed with him! Kevin is incredibly kind, easygoing, and flexible, which makes coordinating everything so stress-free. His communication is always clear and consistent, and I never have to worry when Cleo is with him. The biggest thing for me is how comfortable and happy Cleo feels in his care! Highly, highly recommend Kevin!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cliffwood on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of July 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 Cliffwood 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 10,201 sitters in Cliffwood, 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.
