“Our dog always has the best time with Aeli and her dogs! She sends so many pictures and was able to watch her on Thanksgiving which was so helpful. Ruby can’t wait to go back!”

However, Michelangelo was extremely professional and introduced his dogs to Choco, they had such a wonderful time together and put my mind at ease knowing he was in good hands!”

I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them lots of attention and cuddles. I’ll care for your dog like they’re part of my own family, and I’ll make sure you get plenty of updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.

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.
“Vinny was great with Rocky! He’s still a puppy so often requires a lot of activity and attention. Vinny made sure he stayed busy and took him on several walks. He also made a point to update me throughout the day. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Cathy is one of the only people we trust to watch our dog. I know that he is in good hands when he is there and we don’t have to worry. Ollie always come home happy! We will be leaving him there again :)”
“Chulmin and Hoyjin took really good care of Brian for his daycare. Brian had so much fun with other dogs that he didn’t want to come home at the end! Would definitely book again.”
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. When dogs are in my care, I keep a close eye on them and make sure they are not left alone. I give them plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and rest based on their individual needs. My husband and I both truly love dogs, and our own dogs are also very social and enjoy having other dogs around. Caring for dogs is the main reason I became a Rover sitter, and we treat every dog with genuine care and attention, just as we would want someone to care for our own dogs. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important safety and trust are, and I also know how much pet parents can worry while they are away. That’s why I make sure to share regular updates on how their dog is doing throughout the stay. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for like a member of our family.
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Emerson
As a first-time Rover user, I was a little nervous about leaving our puppy, Lucy. However, after meeting Tammy at our meet-and-greet, I immediately felt comfortable and confident in her ability to care for her. Tammy's dog daycare service exceeded all my expectations. From our initial meeting, I knew Lucy would be in great hands. Tammy's exceptional communication, genuine care, and attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind. She kept me updated regularly with photos and videos. Tammy's professionalism, flexibility, and kindness were truly outstanding. When I drop Lucy off, she literally races up the stairs, excited to start her day and have fun. When I picked her up, she was happy, comfortable, and sleepy. That alone spoke volumes about the love, care, and affection Tammy showed her during her stay. I highly recommend Tammy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. I will definitely use her services again in the future. A thousand recommendations for Tammy!
This was our first time putting our Choco in day care. We were extremely nervous given he is a new dog and we were unsure about his behavior around other dogs. However, Michelangelo was extremely professional and introduced his dogs to Choco, they had such a wonderful time together and put my mind at ease knowing he was in good hands!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Emerson on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 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 .

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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,139 sitters in Emerson, 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.
