“Chris was amazing with Miso! He kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. He was also super friendly and flexible with our schedule. Miso clearly had a fantastic time—I’d absolutely book with him again!”
“Thank you to Amarys and her family for taking such great care of my babies! She kept me updated throughout the day, was very responsive, and sent me lots of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. She followed all of my instructions and spent plenty of time playing with my dogs. I’m so happy I found the right person. I’ve already booked another daycare with her and can’t wait to see her again!”

“Chloe was super communicative and kind, benji enjoyed his time under her care and she was patient with him and his puppy antics. She also accommodated our request to care for him last minute + same day adjustment to add an extra hour. I’m definitely booking w/ Chloe for future sitting!”
About: I am very much patient with high energy pets and gentle with senior pets who need extra attention. I love providing personalized care, long walks and plenty of companionship to keep every pet happy and comfortable while you are away. I am a dedicated homemaker, which allows me to provide your pet with attentive, full-time care. I am available throughout the day to ensure they receive constant companionship, regular exercise, and all the love they need while you're away. I live in a very safe, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to play. My home is a secure environment where I provide constant supervision and companionship to ensure your fur baby feels comfortable and happy throughout their stay.
“We have been using Sandra and San for the last month. We are very happy with the service they provide. When we drive up there block, Shelby gets excited and is very happy to see them. They are warm, kind, and conscientious and we feel comfortable allowing them to take care of our furry baby.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, ensuring they feel loved, happy, and safe while under my care. My focus is on providing refreshing outdoor walks that give your dog the exercise and fresh air they need to stay healthy and happy. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and pace, ensuring every walk is enjoyable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule and am home full-time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, doggy day care, and regular walks during both weekdays and weekends. Dogs can enjoy regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest throughout the day, while cats can enjoy a calm routine with plenty of attention and comfortable downtime. I do my best to follow each pet’s normal schedule so their stay feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and household rules. Dogs are kept secure with appropriate leashes and harnesses during walks and outdoor activities, while cats are cared for in a calm and secure indoor environment. I closely monitor each pet’s behavior, eating habits, bathroom routine, energy level, and overall comfort throughout their stay. I also believe communication is an important part of great pet care, so I provide regular photos and updates to help you feel connected and confident while your pet is with me.
“Sherrie was great! Super nice and accommodating, she was able to watch our pup Zoe on Christmas on short notice. Zoe had a wonderful day with Sherrie and her doodles, and even came home with some homemade Christmas treats! 🎄😊”
“Wan was amazing. She took care of our puppy, Arlo, exactly as we asked. He had a great time there with Wan and her dog. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. We will definitely book with her again the next time we need a dog sitter. Thank you Wan!”
“My dog stayed with Shamel for daycare for 5 weekdays while I was at work. My dog was always excited to see him everyday! This is my first time using Rover and I am pleased with the service. Shamel is kind, caring, and prompt with communication. Truly appreciate him! Thank you so much for taking great care of my dog, Andy. Overall we are very happy with my dog's stay with Shamel.”
“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!”
“Kinjal made me feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her. She was so attentive and caring; when our dog wouldn’t eat she made him some homemade food which he ate up! The up to date pictures were also reassuring and awesome! If we are ever in the area again Stitch will definitely make another visit!”
“Kiky was absolutely fantastic with my 5-year-old Yorkie! She is incredibly patient and caring, which is so important for a smaller dog. I really appreciated how responsive she was throughout the booking, and the photos she sent were amazing—it was so nice to see my pup looking happy and settled. It’s clear she has a genuine love for dogs and takes great care of them. I felt totally at ease leaving him in her hands and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!!”

Wan was amazing. She took care of our puppy, Arlo, exactly as we asked. He had a great time there with Wan and her dog. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. We will definitely book with her again the next time we need a dog sitter. Thank you Wan!
Chris took such great care of Hazel. He is kind, reliable, trustworthy , and kept me in the loop with regular photos and updates, which really helped put me at ease! Hazel got her normal potty breaks, had time to play and socialize with other dogs, and she came home so happy. Looking forward to leaving Hazel with Chris again!
We have been using Sandra and San for the last month. We are very happy with the service they provide. When we drive up there block, Shelby gets excited and is very happy to see them. They are warm, kind, and conscientious and we feel comfortable allowing them to take care of our furry baby.
We are from Delaware and contacted Sherrie about daycare for our dog Casey while we visited with my sister, and then the next day to attend a family gathering. We could not have made a better choice. From the first meeting we felt comfortable leaving our nine and a half year old boy with Sherrie. She sent photos and updates, and when we picked him up the first day we could tell he was well taken care of. When we dropped him off the second day he went with Sherrie without hesitation. We will definitely be in touch with Sherrie again to watch Casey as we travel to the area often for family events. Bill
Xunzi was very flexible and accommodating, even accepting our last-minute booking and adjusting to our schedule without any issues. Bacon was a little nervous on his first day, but she was so patient and understanding. She paid close attention to his emotions and made sure he felt comfortable and settled in. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She is someone we can truly trust with Bacon, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
They accepted my last minute booking. Very communicative and just really friendly people. They were accommodating with my senior dog needs. You could tell they have alot of experience caring with pets. Such and pawsome sitter. Thank you and I hope you’ll accept our future requests.
Pierre and Minji were wonderful with Coco. This has been the first time she was calm at another place other than home. I could tell they treated as their own dog. Communication was great at all times and they are just lovely people. I’m so happy to have found this amazing pair to trust Coco with anytime.

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 Hackensack 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 11,369 sitters in Hackensack, 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.
