“I was so nervous to drop off my newly rescued small Chiweenie and Geoff and Jenny did such a good job caring for him with so much love. Super friendly and accommodating. I can’t wait for him to go back to another doggy daycare day!”
“I was honestly very nervous using an online dog sitter for the first time because my biggest fear was being scammed or something happening to my dog. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, Paloma made me feel completely at ease. She communicated with me throughout the entire day, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and was always quick to respond. It was so comforting seeing how loved, safe, and cared for my dog was while I was away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches. I’m so grateful for the experience, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Jinghong is a very caring sitter. My dog Bacon fell in love with her starting from meet and greet. Bacon was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates and photos. It was obvious he was happy and comfortable during his stay. Thank you for treating him with such care—I would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to others!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Marcy’s Dog Daycare! From the moment I dropped my dog off for his first visit, I knew he was in great hands. Marcy is incredibly kind, professional, and has such a deep love for animals—it’s clear she’s not just doing this as a business, but because she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. Not only did Koda have a blast playing with other dogs, but he came home exhausted (in the best way possible!) and with a huge smile on his face. I could tell he had been well taken care of and treated like part of the family. I would highly recommend Marcy’s Dog Daycare to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and reliable place to leave their pet. It’s such a relief to know that my dog is not only cared for but actually enjoys his time there. I will definitely be bringing Koda back!”
“Cinthia was amazing with Koda. She was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog and knowing he was in good hands. Would totally recommend leveraging cinthia if you have the opportunity.”
“My puppy Sonic and I are so lucky to have found someone as reliable and trustworthy as Evelyn. I got many videos of Sonic throughout the day and he was just having a blast. I will be booking again. Thank you Evelyn !”
“Alicia was so amazing with GG she went out of her way to make sure All the care instructions were done it was a pleasure talking with her she’s super sweet I feel very comfortable having GG stay with her and I would definitely highly recommend her.”
“Yuberkis took such great care of my sweet Boy!! She provided pictures and videos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my family, and as a proud owner of three dogs, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I know that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. My home features a large backyard for supervised outdoor play and a spacious indoor area where dogs can relax, socialize, and feel comfortable. Because I care for dogs every day, I am familiar with feeding schedules, exercise needs, basic obedience reinforcement, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who may need extra patience and attention. Safety, communication, and plenty of love are my top priorities, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving home-away-from-home where every dog feels welcome, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have three dogs of my own. My days are structured around feeding, exercise, outdoor time, play, and making sure my dogs are happy and comfortable. Because of this, caring for additional dogs fits naturally into my schedule. I am home throughout most of the day to provide supervision, attention, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. Dogs in our care receive plenty of interaction, outdoor playtime in our large backyard, and a comfortable indoor environment to relax and rest. I am available throughout the week for daycare I strive to maintain each dog's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and at home. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, dogs are cared for in a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and socialize. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor activities and a comfortable indoor area where dogs can rest and stay cool during hot weather or warm during colder months. Because I have three dogs of my own, I understand the importance of proper introductions, supervision, and ensuring all pets feel safe and comfortable. I carefully monitor interactions, follow feeding schedules and any special instructions provided by pet parents, and make sure fresh water is always available. I treat every pet as a member of our family and provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation throughout the day. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away.
“They only let you leave 5 Stars…. That’s not enough Stars for what I wanted to leave for Megan! Waylon and Khaleesi didn’t want to leave! For our first Rover experience she sets the bar high for our next sitter. We highly recommend Megan for all of your fur baby needs! Ours stayed over night and Megan kept us to to date with photos and updates on the entire visit. Thank you Megan for loving our babies while we enjoyed a fun get away!”
“Denise was amazing! This was our first time using this rover and Denise and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She kept us in touch with buster daily, sending photos so my girls could see he was ok. I would highly recommend Denise. Thank you again!!”
About: I have fostered & boarded dogs over the last four years and have a dog of my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all shapes, sizes and special accommodations. Your dog will be at home, spoilt and will be cared for with and like my own dog. I work from home and am available the whole day to care for your furbaby. I provide playtime, enrichment, walking and potty breaks as needed. Your dog will always have the supervised company of my friendly dog. S/he will be allowed on all the furniture and can be crated if needed!
“Gargi and Sourav are fantastic with my dog. Waldo seemed to get comfortable instantly and their dog Archie was a great company for my dog as well!”
“Desi & Marilyn took great care of our babies, Maisie and Milo on Thanksgiving and allowed us to visit with family knowing they’d be safe and well taken care of. They were so easy to work with and open to our changing schedule. They were very friendly, made us feel at ease, sent updates and photos and stayed communicative throughout. Will definitely book again when we travel!”

Paloma was very responsive and always updated on how Ace was doing with the other little fur babies (he can be a handful at times). She even used her time with him to train him on basic commands. Overall very happy with how she babied my baby boy 🩷 will be going back!!
I had such a good feeling about Desi and Mimi, and I was not disappointed at all! They took amazing care of my little boy and made sure he had the best time playing and socializing with the other pups. They sent me photos while he was there, which made me so happy and gave me so much peace of mind. Their communication was great, and I really appreciated how they listened to all of my concerns. When I picked him up, he actually went back to say goodbye, which was so funny because he has never done that with anyone before! That alone told me he had an amazing time. I’ll definitely be bringing him back, not just when I need a sitter, but just so he can have a fun day. I highly recommend them! Desi and Mimi, thank you so much for treating my pup like your own!
Cinthia was amazing with Koda. She was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog and knowing he was in good hands. Would totally recommend leveraging cinthia if you have the opportunity.
Danny (and Rebecca) showed much patience when I called. He answered my questions, even if I repeated (I'm older and sometimes forget). He reassured me when I asked what his daily dog schedule is When I made inquiry with concern about Meshy's foibles, he was direct, informative. He did not personalize as a question of his ability, but understood questions as a concern about dog behavior. When we setup MEET & GREET, he introduced dogs, 1 at a time, giving Meshy and his dogs, a chance to meet without being overwhelmed. He remained approachable, but let Meshy approach him in his own time. I found Danny to be alert and perceptive to dogs, patient with my concerns as 'dog parent'. I would definitely return for care for Meshy.
I can’t say enough good things about Marcy’s Dog Daycare! From the moment I dropped my dog off for his first visit, I knew he was in great hands. Marcy is incredibly kind, professional, and has such a deep love for animals—it’s clear she’s not just doing this as a business, but because she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. Not only did Koda have a blast playing with other dogs, but he came home exhausted (in the best way possible!) and with a huge smile on his face. I could tell he had been well taken care of and treated like part of the family. I would highly recommend Marcy’s Dog Daycare to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and reliable place to leave their pet. It’s such a relief to know that my dog is not only cared for but actually enjoys his time there. I will definitely be bringing Koda back!
Sam came thru for us even though it was such short notice. She kept updating me with pics of Rigby and she even gave her little snacks. Of course she asked for permission first. Rigby came home happy and tired. I would definitely use Sam again. You’re a rockstar Sam! Thank you for all the kindness you showed our pup 🐶 🙏🏼💜
Nancy took good care of my dog Shiloh for a week, he enjoyed so much staying there that when he was getting dropped off for day care, he would run up to Nancy’s front door excited for his day there. I’m sure if my pup could leave a rating, he would also give 5 stars. I’m very satisfied and will be rebooking with Nancy in the near future. Thanks Nancy!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Clifton on Rover is $49.95 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 Clifton 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 11,303 sitters in Clifton, 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.
