“I always have peace of mind leaving our pup with Chris. Biscotti comes back with a smile every time, and while she’s notorious for not eating well at other sitters, in his care she is so comfortable that she even ate all her food! Can’t ask for a better petsitter. Thanks 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.”
“Catherine was quick to take in Cub and help us. She asked a few questions so she knows how to take better care of Cub which we truly appreciate. She’s responsive and was flexible with the drop-off and pick-up as traffic can be unpredictable. She was attentive to Cub’s needs and made sure to take him with her for walks to the park — even to a cafe. Her baby Cashew is a sweet dog who welcomed Cub in their home warmly. She definitely understands dogs and love them. We are satisfied and are confident with Catherine’s care and would book her again to care for Cub. Thanks so much for, Catherine, for everything!”
“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!”
“Wan is an amazing, sweet, caring person .She is highly professional, extremely responsible and truly cares about the animals. You could not ask for a better person to care for your animals.”
“This our first time using Rover and Shamel's service. I worried a lot, but after all it looks like our dog Petrusha had a wonderful day with Shamel and his family! Petrusha came back relaxed and happy. We definitely will let him stay with Shamel more times. It's very good to know that you have a person who is reliable and helpful to stay with your pet. Thank you, Shamel!”

About: I am an army veteran that has spent his recent years caring for dogs both of owners and strays and have loved the experience. Pets provide a joy and fulfillment that I can find nowhere else. I believe that pets deserve more than just responsible attention and a loving home, they deserve to be treated with utmost dignity and should also have a learning experience in the process. I have become well versed in training of dogs and would be more than happy to either review or even instill basic training skills. Pets and dogs in particular have become a necessary factor of my own personal happiness. It would be my honor and privilege to be able to provide a special care for a special little friend. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine.

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 October 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 October 2026, there are 11,341 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 .
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 , 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 .
