About: My name is Meghan and my fiance and I live together with our friendly, standard poodle, Knightro and our new puppy, Mando. Both pups love any and all people + dogs. They would love to have some friends visit for stays! My fiance and I have grown up with pets our whole lives, We are both very active, and I work from home full time so we can give lots of walks, play time, give the best belly rubs, and whatever else your furry friends needs! I have plenty of experience working with animals. I am also found on the Wag dog walking app, and I have volunteered at animal shelters in the past such as S.A.F.E. pet care in Florida, and the Humane Society. We really love animals and can’t wait to meet your four legged family member :-) I work from home full time and i am off weekends so I have plenty of time to love & care for your pup :-) We don’t have a fenced in yard, but we have a wide open back yard that connects to a 3.5 mile + walking trail. The neighborhood has sidewalks and not near any busy roads. We have lots of space to roam inside the house as well, with extra rooms.

Fresh water is always available, along with treats (with your permission), and a variety of toys to keep them entertained and happy
“Ms. Maria was a Wonderful sitter for our 2 dogs. She loved them and let them use her house as their own. She sent so many pics and videos throughout the day. When our pup didn't want to eat, Ms. Maria fed her by hand so she would! 🩷 She went above and beyond and our pups were so happy to see her each day!!!”
“Tiffany was pleasant, attentive to my questions and concerns. She gave quick responsive was helpful and was overall amazing. We received updates on our dogs throughout the day which was appreciated. We will definitely use her services moving forward. Outstanding experience.”
“Idalis is a great hostess for our dog Daisy. She is a cream lab and Idalis’s pet golden Logan was a great playmate for her. She spent 5 days there for doggie day care. The first day she was scared when we dropped her off. But the next 4 days she was super happy as soon as she saw us picked up the leash. She was ready to go! She seemed to enjoy being out of the house for some playtime and walk, and when she comes home she is tired. I know she will miss Idalis and her whole family. When we go vacation we will definitely take daisy there for boarding.”
“Jared was great! He sent lots of pictures and took great care of my Loki. She came home and was so tired from all of the play with his pups! Would definitely book again.”
“Tina and Bill are truly amazing! I brought my chihuahua in last minute as a new client after an urgent situation came up, and they still replied promptly when I messaged them the night before. They were willing to take him in the very next morning. Even though my dog was very shy, he was clearly in a safe, calm, and caring environment. They also sent pictures and updates throughout his day stay, which I absolutely loved. I’m so grateful for their kindness and help! I can’t thank them enough.”

“Mariela took great care of our senior dog Bandit today. Appreciated her updates and photos. Bandit seemed very relaxed when we picked him up. She also responded very quickly when I submitted my initial inquiry. Thank you!”
“Jaritza was great. She made sure our anxious husky felt comfortable during her care and gave us updates throughout the day. I’ll continue using her services in the future so I’ll definitely recommend her.”

“This is the absolute best puppy sitter!!! I would not take my best friend anywhere else. This is his second home and is shown more love than he could ever want. Viv is the very best and your family member is safe with her. She should get 10 stars out of 5!!!”
“This was our first time having Monica watch Coco and she was great! She followed all of our instructions and asked all of the necessary questions to learn about our pup. She sent a ton of pictures and videos and it was so nice to see what was happening while we were away. Monica is very sweet and caring and we would highly recommend her!”

We can’t wait for our next stay.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Linden
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,128 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Linden. 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 Linden 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 FL 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 1,128 sitters in Linden, 88% 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.
