“Aeli is an amazing sitter. I try to choose sitters who have their own dogs so my own can socialize. I think (since I can’t read her mind) my pup had a great time. Aeli sent numerous pictures which were greatly appreciated. We will definitely book again!”

“Evelyn and her husband took such great care of our pup, Weller. They were responsive, sent us photos, and were flexible with our schedules. Weller really seemed to get along with their dogs and I know she is looking forward to her next play date at their house. We will absolutely book Evelyn again! Thank you both so much!”
“We were so very pleased that we found Andrea on Rover. We went for a meet and greet first and liked everything about Andrea and her clean cozy doggie care environment! We used her for Doggy day care today for 6 hours while we attended a family party. It went perfectly. She sent photos during that time which puts your mind at ease. We were particularly nervous because we had never hired a sitter for our 12 year old Brandi. She’s only 12 minutes from our home which is another big plus for us. Her home is so well taken care of and she has a ground level well groomed back yard that is fenced and well lit. Andrea checked ALL the boxes for us!! Thank you so much! We’ll be back for sure!”

“Our new Boston Terrier puppy, Frankie, had his first stay with Hope, and we couldn’t have been happier! Hope is a pleasure to deal with, is clearly an avid dog lover and pretty much something of a “dog whisperers.” You could tell from the moment we dropped Frankie off until we picked him up that he would be in great hands. She creates a completely stress-free, comfortable environment and has a wonderful large fenced-in yard in which Frankie had plenty of room to play or just “hang out.” Hope’s attention to every detail of Frankie’s care inside her welcoming home put us completely at ease with leaving our puppy with her. Frankie wants to know when he’s going back....Well, he was happy to hear that we re-booked Hope for multiple future stays! Thanks so much, Hope! A unique, caring and extremely friendly environment. Can’t say enough about the total experience. Highly, highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I’ve been caring for dogs since my own pup was just 8 weeks old. From fun off-leash adventures to cozy times at home, I’ve helped my dog grow into a friendly, well-socialized little buddy. I also enjoy walking g and looking after my brother’s dogs (medium and larger size). I always make sure each pet gets the attention they deserve and it makes me happy to see them happy and cared for. Thank you for reading this and I can’t wait to help you too. I’m currently taking a break from my professional career to spend some more time at home with both my children and pup. My kids are teens and at school during the day so I have time for extra dog walks and care. I have a fully fenced in large backyard and my Cockapoo pup is super friendly around both people and other dogs. I’d want to meet and greet before caring for your pup to ensure we are all comfortable and I understand how you’d like me to care for your pet in your home or around your neighborhood.
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.
“Bentley had a great time today at Nicole’s. She was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She also sent updates and pictures throughout his time there which was really nice. Highly recommend!”
“My dogs enjoyed their stay with Vinny today! They played tug and ran together. He is detail-oriented, responsive, flexible, and, most importantly, he loves dogs. We are so lucky to have found him✌️”

We are home full time. We will give your pup the TLC he/she is used to at home. Our dog friendly pup will keep your fur baby company while running around in the fenced-in yard or chilling out inside. We have a pretty relaxed style in taking care of your pet. I require a meet and greet with your dog before a scheduled stay to make sure your dog gets along with my pets and feels comfortable in our home. You can always book a daycare before a longer stay so your dog gets used to our home. Our cat keeps to himself most of the day. It is important that your dog is fairly well behaved and does not: *jump on furniture without permission *chew on inappropriate items such as shoes (unless it's a puppy which of course we will plan accordingly) *or drool excessively He/she should be easygoing, and most importantly, should not be aggressive. We live in a single family home with a fenced-in yard (6' high PVC) and 1 friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. We also have a crate that can be used if your dogs prefers. The cat litter is kept in a room blocked off by pet gates where only the cat will have access.
“My dog’s home away from home. She had a great time with her new bestie, Molly. She’ll definitely be back. Thank you so much for taking good care of her.”

Evelyn and her husband took such great care of our pup, Weller. They were responsive, sent us photos, and were flexible with our schedules. Weller really seemed to get along with their dogs and I know she is looking forward to her next play date at their house. We will absolutely book Evelyn again! Thank you both so much!
Mia had great communication with us before and during the stay, including asking good questions about his needs and giving us plenty of info about how she would care for his specific requirements. Gilmore is anxious and reactive to other animals and Mia was very confident and well prepared to handle it, and we picked up a happy, healthy, well cared for boy!
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!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Emerson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Emerson on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 11,240 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Emerson. 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 Emerson 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.

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.
