About: Hi! We are a couple who truly love animals and enjoy sharing our daily lives with happy, well-cared-for pets. For us, this is more than just a service—it’s an experience. We want your pet to feel at home, safe, loved, and well accompanied. We enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, and making sure their days are fun and relaxed. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, which is why we are committed to providing responsible, loving, and dedicated care For the past 8 years, we’ve been the go-to dog sitters for our family and friends whenever vacation time rolls around. We truly enjoy spending time with their pets and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved—so much so, it never feels like a job, just a lot of tail wags and good company. 👩💻 I work from home 1–2 days a week, and my husband works remotely full-time, which allows us to be present and attentive most of the day. 🐶 Your pet will be part of our daily routine, receiving personalized attention, constant companionship, and lots of love. We would be happy to care for your best friend as if they were our own! 💛 🏡 We don’t have children, and we live in a spacious home with a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for your pet to play safely and freely.
“Kate was fantastic. She very quickly answered my request and fit me in with just two hours notice. She was so loving with my dog, and she took pictures many times. And her two young children were simply wonderful, also. I could tell at the time, in the pictures, how happy they were making Frances. I will definitely ask her to work with Frances next time I come up.”
“Laraine is fantastic! You can’t go wrong! We had a meet and greet where my dog meet some of the other dogs he would be staying with, and we thoroughly went over his routine and anything/everything else she needed to know about him. I would highly recommend Laraine to anyone to watch their beloved pets.”
“Evgenii was very responsive and reliable. I booked last minute and he communicated with me before I dropped my dog off and sent me messages and pictures when I checked in. I highly recommend Evgenii.”
“One of my dogs is very timid. I appreciate how calm these three are, it has helped him get used to being in a 'stranger house'. Both dogs love having access to the backyard. Chandupa is very responsive to scheduling, I can usually get responses within 5-15 min.”
About: I know how much pets mean to their families. I am a pet parent too. I understand the anxiety we all feel while boarding our fur babies. When your furry friend/baby stays with me, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving them their favorite treat, or extra cuddles when they’re missing you, I make their comfort my priority. I have hands-on experience providing safe, reliable, and loving care ensuring they feel at home even when their family is away. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments—covering everything from daily feeding and exercise to giving medications and keeping them calm in new environments. Why families trust me: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I keep their routine consistent, so they feel at home. I’m patient and gentle with pets that are shy, or need extra attention. I send updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. Most importantly—I give them the love, play, and companionship they deserve. We have comfortable living space, big fenced back yard for them to run, play fetch or just outdoor supervised play time. Also I am available to take them on walks. Socialization opportunity- We have a very friendly labradoodle, visiting friends have the chance to socialize, play and engage in positive interactions with another well behaved dogs. We have multiple gates, if required they will be separated during meal times. They are allowed to sleep on our couch, in our bedroom as well. You are welcome to bring anything like bedding or their favorite toys, blankets if that will make them more comfortable. Before first visit we will have meet and greet in my backyard, to be sure everyone gets along well. In all they will get lots of love, care, play time and of course lots of cuddles. I am currently working part time with flexible schedule, so pretty much open to work around your drop off and pick up time. I do go out for school picks up and drop off which is quick or to run some errands and appointments but just for couple of hours and I do have cameras on the pups. We have a fenced yard and one very friendly fur baby to keep your baby safe and have fun. I have multiple gates too, which can ne used to separate them if needed
“Joanna is great. She asked the right questions and was very responsive whenever I asked her one. She kept sending pictures and videos during the stay. Our dog, Luna, liked her and went back to her even after I was there to pick her up. It gives you such a peace of mind when you know someone as caring is watching your pet. We plan to use her again.”
“Julissa was great! She was warm and welcoming she had 3 other dogs at her place, and I’m pretty sure Brownie had a great evening! I would definitely use her again if I was in the area!”
“Kiana was so responsive and put us at ease with last minute Thanksgiving plans. We are not from the area and she made us feel so comfortable. She sent a lot of updates which helped us as anxious pup parents!”
“Jonathan was excellent. He introduced my dog to his own dogs so that they can get comformtable around each other since my dog is afraid of big dogs. Jonathan kept updating me throughout the day with pictures and text messages. I was very happy with the service and care my pet got from Jonathan and will definitely go back to them in futuure.”

My goal isn’t just to walk your pup—it’s to make sure they come home happy, safe, and mentally fulfilled As a dog owner myself, caring for animals has become a natural part of my daily routine. I love staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve while their owners have peace of mind.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Helmetta
Lenny has doggie daycare down to a science. She has a spacious home with several sections for different temperaments of dogs so they stay safe and relaxed during their stay. Our two dogs had their own room in the house. They were well taken care of while we were unable to take them with us on our evenings while traveling. At the last minute they saved us from being kicked out of our hotel (due to barking). Thank you Lenny!

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Helmetta is $44 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $54 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 Helmetta 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 2,237 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 .
