“We had a great experience with Chris! Milo was well cared for, and it was clear he was comfortable and happy during his stay. Communication was excellent throughout the day, with updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. The meet and greet process was easy, Chris was very kind, and attentive to Milo’s needs. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾💕”
“Honestly I am super satisfied and very happy with the care my pups received from Rocio. She kept me updated throughout the day with my pups, played with them, walked them, fed them, and loved them as if they were her own. The pups definitely enjoyed the care Rocio gave them and they even smelled good when I got them! Rocio was very understanding and flexible with what I needed in terms of schedule. I also love the fact that she has other dogs for my dogs to be exposed and got along so well with my pups. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again!”
“This was our second time dropping off Tobie with Karla, and as before we are very happy with her services. She provides regular updates eoth pictures (❣️) and our little guy seems very comfortable with her. Definitely recommend!”
About: I've had dogs all my life! My pup Toffee is my best friend, nothing beats coming home to someone who's always so excited to see you! I take care of friends' and family's dogs while they're away as well - both large and small. I spoil them and always want them to feel at home while their person is away. I take the pups out about every 3-4 hours or as needed. It breaks up the day as well and give me a chance to get up and walk too! Intermittent games of fetch between zoom calls are always on the agenda as well! Lunchtime breaks consist of lots of play time, and after work I usually make sure that we spend a good amount of time outside. I take the pups out about every 3-4 hours or as needed. It breaks up the day as well and give me a chance to get up and walk too! I love giving lots of playtime and cuddles on the floor, and love being able to take them out to the park to run and play, or just a leisurely stroll around the block! I'll practice commands too with lots of treats and praise!
“Can’t say enough good things about the way Andrew took care of Conor. Great setting and logistics to accommodate Conor’s needs and safety… crazy amount of exercise and on top of that Andrew shared tips at the end of the day to improve Conor’s overall behaviour. 100/10”
“It’s Cub’s second time under Catherine’s care (and Cashew’s company). Even in brick weather, she takes the dogs for walks — which they love. Catherine is accommodating and makes sure the needs of both the fur parents and fur babies are taken care of. Thanks for the apples, too! Til next time. :)”
“She is really thoughtful and caring! She sent us lots of pictures to keep us updated on our dog, and I could tell from those photos that she truly loves dogs. She pays great attention to detail and makes sure everything is done properly. I feel completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog with her — highly recommended!”

About: I have been a nurse for 14 years, I currently work from home as a utilization management nurse, I have been dedicating my career to caring for and supporting others through some of life's most challenging moments. Compassion, empathy, and service have always been at the heart of who I am, both professionally and personally. I have also been a dog owner for most of my life. Dogs have always been an important part of my family and have brought me immense joy, companionship, and unconditional love. Last year, I lost my beloved dog of 13 years, and while the loss left a significant void in my heart, the memories we shared continue to bring me comfort. Although I am not yet ready to become a dog owner again permanently, I have found fulfillment in caring for other people's dogs. Whether it's walking, pet sitting, or simply spending time with them, being around dogs allows me to continue sharing the love and care that comes so naturally to me. Caring for animals has become a meaningful way to honor the bond I shared with my own dog while helping others ensure their pets receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work from home as a Utilization Management Nurse, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be present throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I am able to provide pets with regular attention, companionship, walks, feeding, medication administration if needed, and plenty of potty breaks.

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.
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.
I cannot thank Karla enough for providing an amazing care to our dog, Miley. I had to book her as last min booking while we were traveling and we couldn’t leave our dog for long hours at the hotel. Karla sent us numerous photos throughout the day when she was taking care of Miley from 9am-5pm. She was informative on how our dog was settling in, how she was spending time, or taking treats etc. She made our travel stress free because we knew Miley was getting a gray care. I would highly recommend her to any dog owners 🙌🏻👏🏻❤️

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Hackensack
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Hackensack on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 11,400 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Hackensack. 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 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.
