“Connor was great! Very communicative throughout the stay and made us feel completely at ease. He has a lovely home with a safe backyard, and his dog is wonderful and playful — Nacho had the best time running around and playing all day! We definitely recommend Connor and look forward to booking with him again.”
“First time with Rover. I was quite nervous. Then we had a greet and meet. She is very nice. The dog seems fine after daycare time, didn't eat too much probably because of being nervous. Good reporting card. May rebook with Vafa again. Thanks”
About: *My regular dog walking client is moving away, and I now have availability to welcome a new pup in need of walks in Millburn, Short Hills, or Maplewood. If you’re looking for reliable walks for your pup, I’d love to help. A discount for multiple walks is available.* **My mom is temporarily living with me and has been my partner in bringing her warmth and care to every visit and stay. Together, we create a nurturing and happy environment for all the pets we care for, making each one feel truly loved and special. Double love, double care! 💖** My fur baby passed away in 2019 from lymphoma, and I would have given my kidney to save her life if I could. She was very unruly (with her 50 lbs) when we came to pick her up from a kill shelter, that they asked us "are you sure you want THIS dog? We have others.." Of course, we went there for her! With love and patience, we learned every trick in the book, and not.. and she turned out to be the perfect fur child. She loved her crate as her private space, but we would never lock it when we were not home, and we would always come back to the house intact. With 12 years of experience, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, guinea pig, including an actual pig, and chickens. Whether it's playful pups or curious cats, I know how to cater to each pet's unique needs and personality. My approach is simple—every pet deserves love, attention, and care tailored to them. I provide a calm, safe, and fun environment where your pets feel comfortable while you're away, whether it’s for a day or overnight. From walks and playtime to quiet cuddles, I’m here to ensure your pets are happy and well taken care of. With me, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry (or feathered!) family members are in good hands. Besides having my mom as my partner, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home for the most part of the month, which allows me to arrange my schedule around visits and care. This flexibility ensures that I can always provide the best attention and dedication to the pets I look after. As we go out for our daily walks, we'd love to have a furry companion join us. Also, I can easily work from your home, providing company and care for your fur babies while ensuring they feel safe and loved. I will always follow your rules to provide consistency for your fur child and maintain a safe environment. Please let me know how they interact with other dogs they meet on walks, if they have any allergies, or take any meds. I am open to hosting your fur baby at my home but can only do so for a very small (under 20 lbs) house trained fur baby.
“Shirley was an awesome sitter for our sweet 1 1/2 year old terrier mix. She took care of our pup for 2 full days and we felt reassured that she was safe and happy with her. When we need a sitter again, we'll definitely contact Shirley.”
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.
“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.”
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.
“Vanessa was super helpful. Cooper is a very energetic puppy.He always gets excited when meeting new people or being in a new environment, and apparently he was excited and didn't nap the entire morning, but Vanessa was very patient in taking care of him and kept me informed throughout the day by sending me the updates and photos. Cooper looked happy when he was with Vanessa and when I picked him up. I'll definitely go back to Vanessa for help in the future.”
“Second time at Jessica’s place. Pretzel had a lot of fun and came home taking a nap right away. Jessica trained Pretzel walking and left very detailed note about Pretzel’s day, water break/food break etc, which is very appreciated!”
“Isabella was great with my 2 pups. She was constantly updating me with photos and videos throughout the day. She was very accommodating. I feel comfortable leaving my pups there with her.”

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!
Thank you as always Jullien for taking great care of Miso. I love getting the recap at the end of the day with all of your walks, potty breaks and pictures of playing time. Jullien really goes above and beyond with our puppy and she always comes home happy and sleepy 🐶
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!
Luke really is Champ’s new best bud! Ran right to him and just a few minutes later I had video of Champ playing in their gorgeous yard followed by a pic of Champ covering Luke with kisses. His dog Milo is also a great host. We can’t wait to visit Luke again!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Millburn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Millburn 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 11,229 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Millburn. 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 Millburn 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 11,229 sitters in Millburn, 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.
