“Andria is a wonderful pet sitter! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and truly appreciated all the updates she shared during his stay. Her fenced backyard is perfect for dogs to safely explore and enjoy their time. We will absolutely be using her services again—highly recommend!”
“Doug was great with Molly! She had such a fun time and was totally tired out from her day. He was very friendly and provided updates throughout. He was very flexible with timing as well. We would definitely use him again in the future.”
“I could not have been happier with this booking. Shirley was amazing! She took great pictures and excellent care of my 9 week old puppy. I was fully prepared to get a text saying she couldn’t handle it because my dog is a lot to handle at times. Not once during her stay did I receive any calls of messages of distress. Upon drop off back at my home I was given a full synopsis of their day and the adventures/ walks they had together. She came home clean and happy. I will be 100% rebooking with Shirley. First time using rover and she made me feel so comfortable with my choice.”
“Connor was amazing with my newly adopted dog, Wendy! I was very nervous leaving her as Wendy is still learning to trust new humans so she is a little anxious in new environments. But Connor understood, gave her space and kept her comfortable during her first doggy day care experience. She had fun socializing with his dog Kygo along with some other dog friends outside in his fully fenced backyard. Connor put me at ease with updates and pictures as well. I will be using Connor again in the future and definitely recommend his services to others!”
“Champ had the greatest day with Eunice and her family! He ran around the yard, played with her dog and got so many cuddles! I can always tell what kind of day he’s had when I pick him up and he was happy as can be! Plus lots of amazing pics throughout the day. Highly recommend Eunice!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for puppies and small dogs and truly enjoy their energy, personalities and companionship. As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pup. I focus on giving each dog plenty of individual attention, playtime, walks and affection while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic commands, good manners and routines using patience and positive encouragement. Small dogs are especially close to my heart, and my goal is for every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable and part of the family. I live in a house with a fenced yard and am home full time, so dogs in my care receive plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. Dogs can enjoy supervised time in the yard, indoor playtime, rest breaks and walks depending on their normal routine and energy level. I focus on giving each dog plenty of individual attention, playtime, walks and affection while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic commands, good manners and routines using patience and positive encouragement.
About: I’ve cared for many family pets in the past, mostly smaller dogs. Because of my love for dogs, I enjoy doing research about different or watching videos, so I have a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and care. I’m also very active and would love another reason to get out and run! Hello, my name is Taylor and I’m currently a college student! I’m available pretty much any time of any day, especially in the early afternoon. First, I respect the routine the pet already has and would like to know all details about their current routine. I also find it important to know any injuries, medications, allergies, etc. to make sure they stay as comfortable as possible.
“Sulay was a pleasure to deal with, and Shadow came home happy and relaxed. He was comfortable with her immediately - and got along great with her sweet dog. We appreciate her caring attentiveness. I would definitely recommend her highly, and will be sure to be a repeat customer!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience dog sitting and caring for pets of all sizes, including both large and small breeds, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I take my dog outside every 1–2 hours and would follow the same routine for your dog. I also go on 1–3 walks daily to keep dogs active, stimulated, and happy. I have a friendly French Bulldog who enjoys having other dogs around to play with. My home is well set up for visiting pets, with a designated indoor play area and two crates available (one medium and one extra-large) if crating is preferred. I also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time. Dogs are welcome on couches and beds so they can feel relaxed and at home during their stay. I currently work from home and have plenty of down time to play with your pets! I always take my dog out every 1-2 hours and will do the same for your pet. I also go for 1-3 walks a day to make sure your dog is staying active and happy:) I have one friendly French Bulldog that would love a friend to play with! I also have two crates, one extra large and one medium for any crating purposes if you would like. I have a play area where your dog will spend a lot of time playing. I have a fenced-in backyard where your dog can also play. Your dog is allowed on couches and beds so they feel at home and comfortable.
“Bianca brought my dog to our wedding and made our day so special - we knew he was in great hands with Bianca and she did a fantastic job picking him up from my apartment, bringing him to the wedding and back home safely. She's so lovely and I'll be using her again!!”
“Our sitter dropped out last minute and Manuel took care of our dog. He was very responsive to the messages and accommodating, shared pictures of our dog throughout the stay. We are very happy with his service and highly recommend him.”
“Melanie took good care of our dog. She shared a lot of pictures helping us know that he was enjoying his time with her and her family. Definitely recommend Melanie for day care and boarding.”
“Just lost our dog a couple weeks ago, so it's my first time to look for daycare for Milan. I contacted Jessica and was able to schedule a meet and greet that same day. Milan stayed with them today for the first time, and she seems to have enjoyed herself. She was very quiet in the car and asleep now. Those, to me, are signs of a tired dog! Jessica has been very responsive, accommodating, and flexible. Milan is booked again for next week. Looking forward to it!”
About: I’ve owned every kind of pet since I was 10 years old. I am very reliable when it comes to animals because I treat them like their my own children. I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule, where I work from home two days out of the week. I can schedule my work from home days based off your pets needs and when I do report to the office, I am available after 5:00pm. I have a very large open courtyard in front of my apartment where your fur baby can play and run around. I can easily crate your dog if needed
“Klainer took great care of our two fur babies while we went to some events in NYC for the day. This was our first time having both dogs watched together, as our youngest is only 6 months old. I never had to ask for updates because Klainer provided continuous ones, which really put our minds at ease during the day. They came back to us loved and tired, making our night super easy. If you’re from out of town like we were, I highly recommend trusting her with your fur baby! Very clean apartment, too.”

We had a wonderful experience with Anna! Duke had an amazing time at her place and absolutely loved spending the day with their dog Theo. Anna is incredibly caring and attentive to the dogs in her care. She was very mindful of Duke’s needs and made sure he was comfortable throughout the day. We especially appreciated the frequent updates, pictures, and videos — it was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed Duke was. We would absolutely trust Anna with Duke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and loving sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Maplewood on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Maplewood 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.
