“Chris has been amazing to work with! This is my first experience with rover and he has made me so comfortable with leaving my fur baby, Navy behind with him and Molly while I go to work. Chris provides amazing communication and will share cute pics and videos of your pup throughout the day to reassure me my pup is in good hands. Chris has also shared some great tips along the way, thank you so much Chris!! I highly recommend!”
“As always Catherine is reliable. Cub is used to her and her sweet Cashew. Her place is dog-friendly and so is the area by her apartment. She takes Cub for walks and sends us photos. She just knows what to do and we trust her. Thank you so much, Catherine for caring for Cub.”
“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!”
“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! 🎄😊”
About: If you are new to Rover use the discount code https://www.rover.com/sit/rhi31973 I’m a mom of two, and I have two Maltese of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us. 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. I work from home full-time and have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I love spending time outside with them, whether we’re playing in the yard or taking a relaxing stroll around the neighborhood. Because I work from home, I also offer flexible drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, or after my workday. Whether your pup needs a potty break, some exercise, playtime, or a little extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and I can crate your dog if needed. Since I work from home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long and will receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, and after work to fit your schedule.
“My puppy Sonic and I are so lucky to have found someone as reliable and trustworthy as Evelyn. I got many videos of Sonic throughout the day and he was just having a blast. I will be booking again. Thank you Evelyn !”
“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!”

“Miran & Jennie treated my dog so well! I received photos as well which was helpful because I was nervous to use Rover for the first time. Their dog Bambi is also so sweet. Thank you Miran & Jennie!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I got very lucky with Edelann! She sent me tons of photos and videos throughout the day. I can tell my puppy was having a great time with her and her beautiful dog. I almost felt bad bringing her home! I’m really happy that my puppy was able to socialize and burn off a lot of energy under Edelann’s care. She was a calm dog when she came back home. Highly recommend ??????”
About: I have two siblings with a rescue dog each and I have been the go-to auntie to dogsit for them for years. Anytime anyone’s need to go on a trip, Auntie’s got them 💪. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can give them the attention, the cuddles, the walks, and the treats they need to be absolutely cared for. I work a remote job from 9-5. It’s not demanding so I have lots of flexibility. I will do walks in the mornings and evenings and can fit in a fun one in the afternoon for a little nature enrichment. Meal times are how the dog parents want. They can have access to my furniture and bed. I see myself as their auntie and they will be treated with the best love and care. My apartment is right next to a train so there will be loud train noises every few hours. I’m hoping this doesn’t spook the babies but please keep that mind.
“Denise took great care of my two boys! She walked them, played with them and let them have fun with her sweet grandkids in the backyard. She provided plenty of pictures and updates and has a beautiful home to host the dogs in. I can tell she takes pride in having a good home for the dogs she cares for and is very responsive, responsible and attentive! My dogs will be excited to go back and see her again soon :)”
“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!”
“Paloma was very responsive and always updated on how Ace was doing with the other little fur babies (he can be a handful at times). She even used her time with him to train him on basic commands. Overall very happy with how she babied my baby boy 🩷 will be going back!!”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I've learned that great pet care goes beyond feeding and walking. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks, and I take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a special appreciation for senior dogs and understand that they sometimes need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it's shorter, gentler walks, keeping an eye on their mobility, following medication schedules, or simply providing a comfortable place to rest, I make sure their individual needs are never overlooked. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I know how stressful it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're being cared for like family. You can expect plenty of affection, companionship, playtime, and attention to their usual routines. I also love keeping pet parents involved, so expect regular photos, updates, and little glimpses of your pet's day. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving them with me as they do staying with me! I do my best to keep my schedule flexible around the pets in my care. I believe pets feel most comfortable when they can maintain their familiar routines, so I prioritize their regular feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and rest. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay, while also respecting their need for quiet time and space. My goal is to make their time away from home feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, even when their family is away. Before each stay, I take the time to learn about your pet's personality, daily routine, preferences, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, especially when caring for senior pets who may need additional supervision or a gentler approach. I never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or simply enjoys lounging around, I'll respect their individual needs and let them settle in at their own pace. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet's comfort. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities as I have a dog on my own 🐶 — from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I live with my friendly mini Goldendoodle 1.5 years, so your pup will have a sweet and social buddy to keep them company (if they’re comfortable with other dogs). I also have a very flexible schedule, so I can easily adjust to your dog’s routine, whether that’s early walks, frequent potty breaks, or just extra cuddle time. I’m experienced in: • Administering oral medication • Senior dog care (gentle handling, slow-paced walks) • Puppy potty breaks • Reading dog body language and energy I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home — and I’m always happy to send photo/video updates while you’re away! 🐕❤️ I’m a stay-at-home wife with a sweet mini Goldendoodle, so my days naturally revolve around dogs! From morning walks to playtime, cuddle sessions, and potty breaks, I’m fully focused on providing a calm, loving, and attentive environment. Because I’m home most of the day, I can give your pup plenty of time, attention, and care — whether they need regular outdoor breaks, meals on schedule, or just someone to be there so they don’t feel alone. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine — it is my routine, and I truly love it! Having dog makes me happy ❤️❤️❤️ In my home, your pup will enjoy a spacious, pet-friendly environment with plenty of room to play and relax. I have lots of toys and balls for indoor fun, and a nearby fenced park that’s perfect for safe, off-leash running and playtime. I keep a calm, structured routine that includes: • Regular potty breaks • Daily walks and play sessions • Clean, cozy rest areas • Fresh water and meals on time • Lots of love, cuddles, and one-on-one attention If your dog has any special needs or routines, I’m happy to follow them exactly — whether it’s a specific feeding schedule, medication, or bedtime routine. I also send frequent photo and video updates, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hackensack
Chulmin & Hyojin were absolutely wonderful with my pup! They were prompt with communication, provided great updates/photos throughout the day, and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for. You can tell they genuinely love animals. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in their hands and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend :)
Andrew rules! He’s a responsive, professional, and clear communicator who was kind enough to take my last-minute request. Also, Cali is a really anxious dog, but she was so comfortable with him. Definitely the first person I’ll think of when we need help in the future!
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!
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!
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.

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Hackensack is $50 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $72 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
As of November 2026, there are 11,361 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NJ. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
