“Rosemeri was a great dog sitter for our little Betty. She kept us updated with pictures and video of our pup while we were out for the day. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Andrew is top rated for a reason! Totally worth the cost. He’s got a great space perfect for a dog to free roam and family all committed to the care of your little one. Professional, accommodating, attentive, and great with updates / communication. New to the area and was nervous leaving my little one with a new care giver for an extended period for work travel. Andrew gave me tons of peace of mind. Definitely recommend!”
About: Pet care is my world, and I’ve spent years getting to know dogs and cats of all kinds. From bouncy puppies 🐶 learning their manners to wise seniors 🐕🦺 who just need a gentle stroll and some fresh water, I’m here to make sure their routine stays perfect while you're away. 🛡️ My "Safety First" Approach: I’m not just there for a walk; I’m there to be your pet’s guardian. I’m the sitter who: Double-checks that harnesses are secure and doors are locked. 🔒 Scans the path ahead on walks to avoid reactive dogs or hazards. ⚠️ Ensures water bowls are topped off and paws are clean when we get back. 🐾 ✨ Real Care for Real Pets: I specialize in Drop-Ins and Walks where your pet's well-being is the priority. Whether it’s a high-energy power walk or a quiet backyard bathroom break for a senior, I adapt to what your pet needs that day. I’m especially patient with rescues or shy pups who need a little extra time to feel safe. 💜 📸 Simple, Honest Updates: I like to keep my focus on your pet rather than my phone screen, but I’ll always send you the essentials! You can expect: A quick "Pupdate" to let you know they pottied and played. A cute photo (or two!) of our visit. 🤳 Peace of mind knowing your home is secure and your pet is loved. My promise is simple: To treat your pets like my own family, keep them safe, and bring a bit of extra joy to their day every time I visit. ✨ ⏰ Dedicated Full-Time Professional Care Because pet care is my full-time career, your pets aren't a "side gig" squeezed between other shifts. They are my entire schedule! 🐾 🗓️ Flexibility That Fits Your Life: I’ve designed my day to be there when you can’t be. Whether your boss called a last-minute meeting or you just want your pup to have a consistent midday break, I’ve got you covered: Early Birds & Night Owls: From sunrise stretches 🌅 to evening tuck-ins 🌙, I'm on the road and ready. Midday Energy Bursts: Perfect for puppies or high-energy dogs who need to burn off steam while you’re at work. ⚡ Consistent & Dependable: Because this is my job, you don’t have to worry about me "calling out" for an office conflict. I am there, rain or shine. ☔️☀️ 🏠 Reliability You Can Trust: Being a full-time sitter means I take my reputation seriously. I keep my route tight so I can be on time and fully present. When I’m at your house, my phone stays in my pocket (except for that cute photo!) so your pet gets 100% of my attention. 🛡️✨ 🛡️ Your Home & Pet: Safe, Secure, & Respected I don’t just "watch" pets, I protect them. Whether I’m entering your home for a drop-in or heading out for a walk, I operate with a safety-first checklist to ensure total peace of mind for you. 🏠✨ 🚧 Out on the Walk: The "Double-Check" Rule: I always verify harness/collar tightness before we step outside. 🐕🦺 Awareness Training: I’m constantly scanning the environment for other dogs, reactive triggers, or unsafe debris on the sidewalk. ⚠️ Temperature Checks: In summer or winter, I check pavement heat or ice levels to keep those paws protected. 🐾🌡️ 🔒 Inside Your Home: Security Expert: I am hyper-diligent about locking doors, arming alarms, and ensuring gates are clicked shut. Your home’s security is as important as your pet's. 🔑 Environment Scan: I check for hazards, empty water bowls, or anything your pet shouldn't be chewing on before I leave. 🚫🦴 The Little Things: I make sure the "routine" is followed, whether that’s a specific treat spot, a white noise machine, or a favorite blanket. 💜 The Professional Promise: I treat your space with the highest level of respect. I’m a quiet, clean, and reliable presence. My goal is for you to walk through your door and feel like I was never there except for the fact that your pet is happy, calm, and well-cared for! 🏠💫
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and I find so much joy in it. I’ve had a cocker spaniel for my entire life and love to be in the presence of them! Im currently working as a freelance designer remotely so I will have plenty of time to take care and play with your pups. I am available for overnight boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2 pm. I live in an apartment complex but there is plenty of space to walk the pups as needed outside as well as a dog park in the complex.
“I am extremely satisfied with the service I received. Luna was taken care of, very well, and the communication (written/visually) was outstanding! I am very pleased with the attention, and we will be back soon! Thanks very much! We are both very happy Rovers.”

About: Hi! I’m Tina, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes pets are family. Growing up, I had a Pekingese who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years, she was my best friend, and I was involved in her care every single day, from walks and feeding to just spending time together. In high school I also helped walk and care for dogs in my neighborhood, which gave me experience with all kinds of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m not a professionally trained handler, but I think honesty goes a long way when someone is trusting you with their dog. What I can genuinely offer is patience, attentiveness, and a lot of love. I’m actually looking into additional pet care training because this is something I really enjoy and want to keep growing in. I work fully remotely, which means I can provide lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of opportunities for interaction and care. I currently live in a pet-friendly apartment community with a dog park located downstairs, and I also have reliable transportation to take dogs to nearby parks and walking areas if appropriate. A little about me: I studied Public Health during both my undergraduate and graduate education, earned my Master’s degree in Global Health from Harvard , and currently work in the health industry. That sound unrelated, but honestly it’s shaped how I approach responsibility: carefully, consistently, and always with the other person’s (or pup’s!) needs in mind. I know how much it means to find someone you can really trust with your dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and go from there! I am available Monday through Friday from 9am to 9pm, and on weekends from 10am to 12pm and 3pm to 5pm. I'm happy to accommodate special needs outside of these hours to ensure your pet receives the best care possible! In my home, I can comfortably accommodate small dogs/medium size dogs ensuring they have a safe, clean, and loving environment. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and constant supervision to make sure your pet feels secure and happy.
“Neide's care for our dog Ace was exceptional. Her genuine love for animals was evident, and Ace connected with her instantly. Neide's attention to detail, communication, and dedication turned our worries into peace of mind. Highly recommended for her outstanding pet care!”
“This was the last daycare I had with Jennifer before my sweet elderly Xander passed. Xander had come to like Jennifer and over time, started to show excitement when he saw her. So this final rating was given by the dog. Xander had many medical needs and Jennifer accepted all of them. Xander passed yesterday and I contacted her to inform her and thank her. I didn't mention this but I was feeling regret about not checking the box asking for pictures all day long. SHE STARTED SENDING ME PICTURES. I"M CRYING BIG TEARS THANK YOU.”
“Si was great with my dog. She and her family took wonderful care of him. She was very responsive and flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend Si to anyone looking for a responsible, reliable, and caring pet sitter!”

“Jamin was great and accommodating at the last minute. He was definitely attentive to Yanni's needs and was helpful in getting him acclimated to a new environment. Hands down would book again”
About: I've cherished the company of pets throughout my entire life, ranging from the tiniest Shih Tzu to the majestic Siberian Huskies. My active lifestyle perfectly aligns with my passion for taking dogs on invigorating walks and spending countless hours engaged in joyful play with them. My experience extends beyond my own pets, as I've diligently cared for animals belonging to my uncles, even tending to my neighbor's cherished cats. I've also gone the extra mile to care for Guinea Pigs on behalf of my friends. My affinity for animals knows no bounds, and I genuinely cherish and adore each and every one of them. I’m currently attending school and working part-time so I am mostly only free on the weekends. Most of the time with a heads up I can make availability any day of the week. I live on a completely fenced property and I even have a doggy door for our furry friends. I know a few good doggy parks nearby that I can take our friends to in my car. I will always put the safety of our friendly little buddies first!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and truly love being around animals. I grew up with a variety of pets including dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and tortoises. I’ve also fostered dogs and volunteered at animal shelters, which has given me hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and behaviors. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes as well as cats, and I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I take one client at a time, so your pet receives my full attention in a calm, home like environment. Since I work from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day and ensure pets are rarely left alone. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a more anxious dog who needs extra care, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to provide: - Regular walks throughout the day - Plenty of supervision and companionship - Flexible drop-off and pick-up times (with notice) - Availability for weekends and extended stays Because I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and get consistent attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and create a calm, safe environment for every pet. I don’t currently have any pets at home, which makes it ideal for dogs who prefer a quieter space or don’t get along well with other animals. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed. I provide regular updates with photos/videos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kearny
This was our dog's first time staying with Kathryn, and it was a great experience! Kathryn was super responsive, flexible with timing, and incredibly understanding when our travel was significantly delayed. We really appreciated her flexibility and care. Would definitely recommend!

Selim took excellent care of our puppy, Coco. From the start, it was clear he’s attentive and responsible. He made sure Coco got regular potty and pee breaks, followed his meal schedule properly, and kept a close eye on him throughout the day. What stood out the most was the consistent communication. Selim provided regular updates, which gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Coco was doing well and comfortable. Caring for a young puppy isn’t easy, but he handled it with patience and care. Coco came back happy and well taken care of. We’d definitely trust Selim again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable daycare.
Nala gets so excited every time I drop her off, which says everything about how amazing Darrin, Debra, and Emily are. They take wonderful care of her on an ongoing basis, always treating her like part of their family. I’m so grateful for the love and consistency they give her. Highly recommend! 🐾💛

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Kearny
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Kearny on Rover is $55.5 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 11,438 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Kearny. 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 Kearny 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.

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.
