“Alice is great with my special needs senior dog Porter. He is happy every time he sees her, and she is very responsible with catering to his special needs, allergies and medical conditions. She is very communicative and lets me know any changes observed in Porter during his stay, plus sends cute pictures regularly. I trust her with my deaf/blind senior completely.”
“Lineth was very good with Nova. You could easily tell how much she loves dogs immediately. She sent pictures and gave me feedback on how she was doing throughout the time Nova was there. From the pictures she sent, looked like my golden doodle got very comfortable with her - sitting on her lap, laying on top of her, following her around, etc. Lineth even went out with her in her fenced in backyard despite the crazy, artic cold. Looking forward to having her watch Nova again when the weather is in at the least the double digits!”
“Myah had a great time at Jamie's playing with Ollie! This was her first time and she was excited to be going when we pulled in the driveway. She came home very happy and tired!”
“Wonderful experience. He is super attentive and really wants to know your pet's needs. His place is beautiful and with so much space any pet would be happy and comfortable. Would def recommend.”
“We cannot say enough about how amazing Laraine was with our pup. To start off, she is extremely experienced with all types of dogs at all different training/comfort levels. The genuine way she talks about all the different types of dogs she's owned and dogsat in the past gave me confidence that she really loves and appreciates every dog no matter their "flaws"! Also, she was very thorough at our meet and greet, which made me feel that she really cared about our pup individually. After meeting her and her family, my wife and I had a hunch that we had found someone amazing, and we were right! Our pup had a blast (which we could see through Laraine's thoughtful updates), and I didn't find myself worrying about her once throughout the entire day. She really cares for your dog as if they are her own and nothing beats this peace of mind. We highly highly highly recommend her and wish we had found her sooner! Thank you Laraine!”
About: I have a deep love for all animals and years of personal experience caring for pets. I am a proud owner of a friendly small dog, and I also have beautiful Lovebirds, Parakeets, and a peaceful fish aquarium at home, making my space full of life and care. I completely understand the daily routines, love, and attention that pets need. Since I work from home, my environment is safe, welcoming, and smoke-free, where your furry family member will receive non-stop attention, regular potty breaks, and a welcoming playmate!

I manage my schedule beautifully, which means I am almost always at home to care for the pets. I can easily adjust my daily routine to match your pet's feeding, walking, and playtime needs. Whether it is a weekday or a weekend, your furry family member will receive constant attention, love, and timely potty breaks throughout their entire stay with me. Safety is my absolute top priority. My home is a clean, smoke-free, and welcoming environment. I have a friendly small dog to keep your pet company, and all guest pets are closely supervised during playtime. I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding crating, feeding, and medical needs. I also make sure my pet birds and aquarium are kept securely out of reach to ensure a stress-free and peaceful stay for everyone.
“Suna provided outstanding and loving care to Buddy while he was with her. Buddy enjoyed going to her home every day and playing with her sweet Maltese, Mimi. The two dogs became forever friends! Suna communicated with us daily, providing text and photo updates, clearly indicating that Buddy was well taken care of during his time with her. I highly recommend Suna if you're looking for someone who will go the extra mile to insure that your beloved pet is safe and happy, whether for overnight stays or daytime care.”
“Charlene was absolutely AMAZING. She communicated, sent pictures, and let me know how my sweet baby was doing everyday. I had the pleasure of using her services every week and will definitely be booking boarding stays in the future. If you’re looking for someone to care for you furbaby, Charlene is the one to book with.”

I love to take for walks at least 4 times a day. I currently have to go into work but it is flexible and I can create my own a Schedule during the week.

For example, my pup goes by Mimi, Memes, Memmers , Mimicent, Mimicita. .
“Luciana was absolutely wonderful with Bheem and Bhairav! She was incredibly accommodating, especially since my request was last minute, and took such great care of them throughout the day. She even gave them a little pedicure, took them on walks, and regularly shared pictures and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Both dogs looked super comfortable, happy, and clearly enjoyed their day with her. Highly recommend Luciana ... reliable, caring, and genuinely great with dogs!”
“Jinjie was an incredible sitter for our puppy Clover! Our pup can be a bit nervous at first so she ensured we had a meet up prior to the stay and did a great job at making Clover feel comfortable! Our puppy also loved her cat and dog! Would highly highly recommend Jinjie (:”
“From the meet and greet to the stay next day, Kajal was very warm, friendly and caring towards Romeo. She made us very comfortable to leave our little one with her. Kajal made sure she sent us pictures and videos and kept us upto date with him. I know Romeo was in good and trusted hands and would definitely leave Romeo with her in the future.”
“When I met Nasreen I was so happy because I immediately felt she had a kind spirit. She was ready and waiting when I dropped Sampson off. I got cute photos of him during the day. My fur baby was happy and calm when I picked him up so I could tell he had a great day! Thank you Nasreen.”

About: I have a very sweet and playful Border Collie who absolutely loves making new friends. He is extremely friendly and does great with both small and large dogs—especially medium to large breeds. He regularly plays with his Maltese and Golden Retriever friends and is very well socialized. My place is fortunate to have a dog park right downstairs, so dogs get plenty of outdoor playtime and exercise. I am at home 24/7, which means your dog will receive constant supervision, attention, and care. I would love to welcome a friendly play buddy for my dog and provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for yours. If your dog enjoys companionship and playtime, this will be a great match. I work fully remote, so there is always someone home to supervise and care for the dogs. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I live in a spacious 1,400 sq ft apartment in a secure building with password-only access. My home is safe, clean, and dog-friendly.

Lineth is a great sitter. We left Pie with Lineth for the day and she took really good care of him. Usually Pie takes a lot of time to adjust to a new person but Lineth was able to bond with him quite quickly. That's a testament to her skills. Next time we need a sitter for Pie in NJ, we will definitely reach out to Lineth. Also Lineth was wonderful at keeping us updated. Even though Pie was with her for a few hours, we got regular pictures and texts. Fantastic experience overall.
We are beyond grateful to James and Teri for looking after our pup Kira on such short notice! 🐾 From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in the best hands. They truly are the most amazing people on the planet so warm, kind, and clearly passionate about dogs. Throughout our time away (we were at a wedding), they sent us so many adorable videos and updates, which completely put our minds at ease and let us enjoy the day knowing Kira was happy and loved. It honestly felt like she was part of their family! Kira got along so well with all their lovely dogs it was like a little doggy vacation for her! 🐶✨ She was showered with love, cuddles, and playtime, and we could tell she had the best time ever. We couldn’t recommend James and Teri more highly. If you’re looking for sitters who will love your dog like their own, don’t hesitate they are absolute gems. Thank you both a million times over! 💕🐾

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Highland Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Highland Park on Rover is $44.4 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 7,846 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Highland Park. 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 Highland Park 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 7,846 sitters in Highland Park, 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.
