“I really appreciate Evelien she took care of my puppy Bori like one of her family. She is a sweetheart sitter and has a big heart for caring my puppy.

Actually, I already booked for April boarding! Thank you so much, Evelien!!”

About: What sets us apart is how much we genuinely love dogs. We are dog parents ourselves, so we understand how much trust it takes — and how worrying it can feel — to leave your dog in someone else’s care. For us, dog sitting is more than just feeding and walking. We love spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Because we know how much owners miss and worry about their dogs, we always try to send photo updates in the morning and evening so you can see how your pup is doing and feel at ease. We have hands-on experience caring for different breeds, including Samoyeds, Weimaraners, Shetland Sheepdogs, and Golden Retrievers. Since we have friendly and social dogs of our own, we carefully supervise all interactions and focus on creating a safe and positive environment for every dog. We follow each dog’s routine closely and give them the attention, care, and love they deserve. On days I accept bookings, I’m home all day to give dogs my full attention, provide close supervision, and make sure they get plenty of walks and care. I provide a calm, safe, and dog-friendly environment in my home. All dogs are closely supervised, especially during playtime and interactions with other dogs. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. Because I am a dog owner myself, I understand how important safety and trust are. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like a member of our family.
“I am so appreciative of Katherine puppy sitting our fur baby for a last minute booking. She is so professional and accommodating and caring. She provided pictures and videos. She followed our feeding schedule and was understanding about our puppy not being house trained and us needing additional time for the pickup. I would definitely recommend her and I will be calling her again.”
“Mochi had a great time with Alina and her loving family. Her children, mother, and dog Oreo all played with Mochi throughout her stay to keep her company. She had a lot of fun and slept well that night!”
About: I’ve had 2 Labrador Retrievers since childhood and currently have my own cat so I understand their behavior, needs, and personalities. I’m attentive and patient, making sure each one feels safe and comfortable in a new environment. I keep their routine consistent, provide clean litter, fresh food and water, and give them the right balance of attention and space. I’m available most days, including weekends, and can accommodate same-day bookings. I’m home often, so your pet will get plenty of attention, regular walks, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep routines consistent, and give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. Your pet will be treated like part of the family.

They were flexible with timing and very good at communicating. Most importantly they were very nurturing and took excellent care of our darling girl ….will definitely be using them in the future!”
“Essence was a great host for our Fiona. She is very patient and thoughtful and put in the effort to make sure our pup was comfortable and adjusting. We would absolutely have our dog stay with her again.”

Very sweet family, they made me feel really comfortable leaving my little floof with them as this was my first time using Rover. They sent over so many photos and made sure I was up to date on how he was doing. They were supper accommodating to Benji’s needs. Highly recommend, I plan to use them again for any future needs.
We knew we had found the perfect sitter for Sadie at our meet and greet. Evelien is calm, welcoming and so patient. Sadie has had two doggy day care visits and loves her new friends, we know she will be welcomed and in the best of hands when she stays for boarding.
Hope is a great sitter and was truly a pleasure to work with! Our pup, Nubya, enjoyed going out in the beautiful backyard and for walks around the neighborhood meeting Hope's neighbors. I really appreciated the regular updates with photos throughout the day. We will definitely have Hope watch Nubya again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Closter on Rover is $72.15 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 11,206 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Closter. 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 Closter 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 11,206 sitters in Closter, 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.
