About: Hi, I’m Jonny! I’ve had a special connection with animals for as long as I can remember. When I was in elementary school, my mother unexpectedly gave away our family dog without telling me, and that experience stayed with me. It gave me an early understanding of just how deep the bond between people and their pets can be. Over the years, I’ve continued learning about dog behavior, training, and responsible pet care, including being inspired by shows like The Dog Whisperer. My goal has always been to better understand animals and provide the kind of patient, attentive, and loving care I would want for my own pets. That passion eventually led me to create our modern Doggy Daycare Suites, where dogs can feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re away from home. I am an entrepreneur working in the health technology and personal development space, along with my wife. I spend plenty of time caring for pets while working toward our business goals. My hours are flexible, including nights and weekends. We now offer Doggy Day Care - Modern Suites for 4-6 hours and even overnight stays! I am very active; I go on walks twice per day, rain or shine, and I am happy to keep your pets active and safe. I am available to watch your pets with drop-in visits or take them out for walks, whatever your pets require to be healthy, happy, and active. We now offer Doggy Day Care - Modern Suites, a beautiful, safe, and spacious home away from home for your dog!

I’m Gisselle, a devoted dog lover and proud dog mom to my friendly Shiba Inu, Roxy. I know that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, so my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where your dog feels like part of the family. Every pup in my care receives plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and individualized attention based on their unique personality and routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter pace, I’ll provide the care and attention they need to feel happy and comfortable.

“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!”
“Tammy was great with our Pup Macy!! She accepted her on short notice (thank you) & kept me updated on how Macy was doing throughout the day! Will definitely be using Tammy again ☺️”
“Darien’s home is so much more than a dog groomer / boarding. She is a true caretaker. She handles my energetic pup with care, training and patience. She is always accommodating of my hectic schedule and is even cleaner than me - I did not think that was humanly possible! I love the constant updates of her running around and having fun/burning energy so when she comes home she is wiped out! I am so glad I found Darien and her doggy daycare ❤️”
“This is my second time doing business with Jenny and both experiences have been absolutely phenomenal. Jenny takes care of our dog as if it were her own and constantly keeps us up to date with how she’s doing. I recommend Jenny for any pet sitting services!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ridge
Amanda was very nice and sweet. Kashy was so happy when we first arrived and he was excited to spend his day with her. Got some photos and a video of him enjoying her place and he seemed very comfortable there. Thank you for taking great care of our fur baby! We hope to have you watch him again in the future!
Megan is the best! My dog is definitely not the simplest dog to take care of, but she made sure my dog felt super comfortable and happy. She sent me plenty of photos to keep me updated and made sure to ask all the right questions to make sure my dog was well taken care of. Genuinely the best dog sitting experience I’ve had!
Andrew was very accommodating and flexible with accepting Gabbie with short notice and timing. He was very transparent and helpful in conversations. He gave a tour of where Gabbie will be staying, which made us feel very comfortable. And he shared photos and messaged us throughout the day. Definitely recommend and would reach out again!
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.
Nala gets so excited every time I drop her off, which says everything about how amazing Darrin, Debra, and Emily are. They take wonderful care of her on an ongoing basis, always treating her like part of their family. I’m so grateful for the love and consistency they give her. Highly recommend! 🐾💛
Darien is incredible! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She will care for your pet like her own. Kind, compassionate and loving toward our dog. Darien is very flexible and reliable, which made our Thanksgiving gathering less stressful for the day. Thank you Darien for making life a bit easier during the Holidays!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Glen Ridge on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of September 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 Glen Ridge 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 11,321 sitters in Glen Ridge, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
