“Eduardo is so kind, accommodating and flexible. Our pup loves going there for daycare and we get picture updates throughout the day. We can rest assured knowing he’s well taken care of! I absolutely recommend leaving your dog in Eduardo’s care.”

“Alessandra was absolutely amazing with Dottie! As a young puppy, I was a little nervous leaving her, but Alessandra made me feel completely at ease from the start. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and messages, and was always very informative about how Dottie was doing throughout her stay. It was clear that Dottie was getting lots of love, attention, and great care, and I really appreciated how communicative Alessandra was the entire time. Knowing Dottie was happy and in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and will definitely be booking with Alessandra again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter! Alessandra was absolutely amazing with Dottie!

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾

“I’m really glad I chose Yutong for daycare with my energetic little poodle. He was very attentive and reliable, asking all the right questions about my dog’s character, sharing photos throughout the day, and keeping me updated on how things were going. My dog came home happy after spending the day with him, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“My pup had such a fun day with Grace! Lots of playing and a nice long walk/time outside. Really appreciate the attention and cuddles she gave! Would highly recommend.”

“Chi was the best. I royally screwed up my planning but Chi was flexible and really helped me out. Sent a lot of photos of my pup and looks like she had a great time.”


“Lauren was the perfect babysitter for our pup while we were away for the day! We could tell he loved getting to hang with her and she was super responsive. We’ll definitely schedule another time for Lauren to watch Rizzo :)”
About: ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My first dog — Lucy, a Border Collie I had when I was 11 back in Shanghai, China — was my best friend for 16 years. Alongside her, I cared for a rescued stray cat "Noji" and an adopted poodle "Bebe" when I was 13, which taught me patience, responsibility, policing different pets, and how to understand different pet personalities. After moving to the U.S. for school, I brought home my baby Corgi "Brioche" in 2020. She’s now a 5-year-old certified service dog who’s friendly, well-trained, and walked three times a day for at least 30 minutes each time. I also helped train and kept a baby Devon Rex cat for my family in 2025. What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I love fur babies more than anything and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I will be working part time starting summer 2026 in NYC, so my schedule is flexible, I'm available for daily walks, boarding both weekdays and weekends. I live in a 2 bedroom in FiDi close to battery park city. There are no crates and my corgi was never crate-trained. I don't have indoor pet potty so I almost only take my dog out for potty unless the weather is crazy. I have plenty of dog beds and toys.

“Sal is great guy. We had no issues leaving our 14 weeks old pup. We got picture updates and instant replies which made our day trip without tension. We would love to use his service again. Don’t hesitate and book!”

“Our Pote had a wonderful day staying with Allison and Lucy (new beagle buddy) with plenty of fun and walks! Allison is such a loving and caring person, will definitely ask her help again.”

“Courtney is simply the best! She has been such a huge help with potty training my puppy, Sonny, and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable and happy. As a puppy new to the city, he’s needed extra care, and Courtney has been so hands-on, positive, and kind throughout the process. I literally walk out of my way to bring him to her because he gets SO excited to see her every time! Knowing he’s in such great hands gives me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

About: With 15 years of tail-wagging expertise under my collar, I bring a blend of professionalism and paw-some fun to every furry friend I meet 🐾 From playful puppies to wise seniors, injured pups to special needs like blindness. No challenge is too big or too small! And let's be real, while cleaning up accidents might not be glamorous, I've mastered the art of handling unexpected moments like diarrhea with my own emergency diaper method. I've seen it all. When it comes to dietary needs, I'm as strict as they come. I stick to instructions, ensuring your pup's health and happiness with every meal avoiding allergies and unexpected situations. On the other hand, I offer flexibility with walks and the fun stuff. But beyond logistics, it's the love for dogs that truly drives me. They're smart, loving, and endlessly loyal companions who keep me on my toes. I've cared for up to 4 dogs at a time and every time it confirms that pup's love is pure. They're the first to greet you and stand guard against every strange noise. When you can't be there, I step in to return that affection and care. My mission? To provide a safe, happy dogcation haven where your furry friends can relax without worry. I am all about giving them the attention, play, and social time they crave, along with those essential cuddles and scratches. With updates via text, photo, and video, you'll always feel close to your fur babies. Because let's face it, as ex dog parent myself, I know how comforting it is to feel close to your fur babies, even when you're apart. So, how does it work? Simple! Just let me know about your dog's needs and schedule. I'll tailor my care to fit seamlessly into your routine, ensuring a stress-free experience for both you and your beloved pup. 🐶 I'd love to spend 24/7 with your pet, though I also have some work commitment on sites on NYC apart of remote portion. But don't worry, this allows me some flexibility. If your furry friend needs round-the-clock company, just give me a heads-up, in advance so I can try to work something out. Let me know your preferences and I will do my best to tailor my schedule to yours! I like to care for them as the owner would. Any specific training or special need for a pet, I'm flexible and happy to do
“I cannot recommend Pratik enough! He watched my puppy(Tofu) for the day and waa absolutely fantastic. Since he's still young, I am always a bit nervous, but Pratik sent regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. It’s clear that he has a genuine love for animals and knows how to handle that puppy energy. Tofu came home happy, well-cared for, and ready for a nap. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Peter was amazing with our puppy, Watson. He was extremely patient, communicative, and punctual. He sent photos throughout the days that Watson was with him and provided updates. I am so grateful to have found him and can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Peter!”

“Jane gave us constant updates on how our dog was doing while we were gone. She was also very understanding when we had to modify our booking drop-off time. Would highly recommend Jane!”

“Christina was absolutely incredible with our puppy. As first time dog owners we really wanted to find someone we felt we could trust and Christina exceeded our expectations. Not only did Astro feel comfortable with her, but she was also courteous enough to send update photos and videos which we really appreciated. We also really liked how she has access to a yard where our puppy was more than happy to play around in. If you’re ever in a bind, or nervous with who you can trust on rover, believe us when we say she’s a great go to. Highly recommend!”

“Amanda was wonderful with out dachshund, Lola, who fell in love with her very quickly. Lola can be a bit of a handful (big personality, Napoleon syndrome) but Amanda knew how to handle her, and it sounds like they both had a great time. I know Lola got lots of cuddles and activity, and after the first day (when she was nervous being left with a stranger), she was very excited to see Amanda every morning.”

“Nike can be nervous around new people but I can see that she definitely loved Kristi! We got regular updates and pictures and we’re happy that we met Kristi. Thank you!”

Appreciate Grace for being patient and taking care of my Jubilee. She took the time during our meet and greet to learn more about Jubilee and her personality which I really appreciate since every dog has different needs and energy level. I’ve asked Grace to watch Jubilee twice now for daycare and I will definitely ask her again in the future.

Chi-wing is amazing and took exceptional care of my furbabies! He kept me updated throughout their stay and regularly sent photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. From the moment they arrived, Chi-wing and his wife gave my babies such a warm and loving welcome, making them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Knowing they were in such caring and trustworthy hands allowed me to truly relax while I was away. They were incredibly attentive, receptive, and responsive to my furbabies’ needs, ensuring they received all the love, care, and comfort they deserved. I will definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and reliable place for their furbabies. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my babies. See you again soon! ❤️

We only have nice things to say about Yushan, she was very kind, professional, and caring. We received just the right amount of updates before we started to wonder if Ukah was doing well, with pictures showing how much fun he was having. It was also nice that Yushan had other dog and cats allowing our Ukah to socialize, since he doesn’t have any other dog/cat siblings. Despite our last-minute daycare arrangement, Yushan thoroughly asked for any needs or requests and cared for Ukah as discussed. We are very satisfied with our experience and would be happy to recommend Yushan to others.

Goose absolutely loved his first daycare day with Christina! He warmed up to her very quickly, and she made sure he was engaged, happy, and comfortable the entire time. She sent adorable photo and video updates too, which was so appreciated! We are so grateful.

Yutong & Mengya were amazing! They asked exactly the right questions to ensure Leo was comfortable through the entire stay. They provided constant updates and pictures during the entire stay. Leo's first time doing Doggy Dare Care couldn't have gone any better!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Jersey City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Jersey City on Rover is $45.51 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 11,562 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Jersey City. 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 Jersey City 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 11,562 sitters in Jersey City, 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.
