“Sriram & Rekha S. was super sweet and attentive to Ace. He communicated with me during the whole day. And contacted me as well once my sister picked up Ace. Will be booking with him again!”
About: For years, I've been the trusted pick for apartment friends when they travel. Count on me for top-notch pet care, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and tender attention. I have a lot of love to give! I currently start my days at 6AM when I go to the gym and then I do not start work (from home!) until 9AM so I have plenty of time to spare in the morning. While I have a flexible schedule, I also like to follow a strict routine regularly so adjusting to your dogs routine is an easy transition for me. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure they have ample food, water, playtime, and exercise.
“Jonathan has been wonderful with Colby the past two days. Colby is a pandemic dog and I have been working remote for the last 5 years so he is super attached and has separation anxiety. I was a bit nervous with him staying with a stranger for the first time but Colby seems to be happy and already feels at home with Jonathan! Jonathan is super responsive, accommodating, and caring, gave updates on how Colby was doing, and always responds right away to any questions I have. I am no longer anxious about leaving Colby home when we go on vacation as I know he’ll be well taken care of by Jonathan!”
“Blue’s first day here was a success! Louis has a great setup - large fenced in yard w lots of places to explore - tucked in at the end of a quiet street. Blue enjoyed lots of outside time & attention. On our earlier ‘meet & greet’ Louis welcomed Blue warmly & gave Blue time to check things out before introducing him to his dog, Barney. I got the sense that Louis is a real dog lover & would trust him with Blue again. Highly recommended!”

“Dawn and Lola welcomed Pebbles with such kindness. Dawn was so pleasant and concerning to Pebbles needs. Pebbles has separation anxiety and Dawn comforted her while I was leaving. The many photos I received made me feel so comfortable that Pebbles was having a great time and in great hands!😊.”
“Jill was amazing. She was super responsive, flexible with our schedule, and took amazing care of Kirby. He got along so well with her dog Harley and we were so glad he met a new friend. He had a great stay! A+++”
About: I work as a behavioral therapist so I am very familiar with how to handle people and animals. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from work it’s patience, I take the time it takes. I work with my clients for a few hours a day and am not in any classes currently, so I have plenary of time to walk, sit, and care for pups and kittys. I have two loving kitties that curl up to anyone who meets them, and I also have a car so I can totally drop by and give your pup/kitty all the individual attention they need.
“Jillian and her husband, Andrew, took such good care of my two pomeranians. My guys felt right at home and were well taken care of. They seemed to be well rested and very comfortable when I picked them up. I will certainly be booking with Jillian again!”

“Eunice was so great with Mocha. He’s a senior so he needs a little more care and attention and Eunice had a great handle on it. He looked like he had such a great time!”
“Our little golden Havanese had a wonderful time with Irem and her husband! She spent the day with them on Friday, and was eager to go back the next day. She made a new friend, a beautiful golden retriever, who she enjoyed spending the day with. Irem gave her plenty of snuggle time, and she seemed perfectly content both days when we picked her up. This was our first Rover experience, and we were grateful it went so well! Thank you, Irem!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montville
Leaving our dog with someone outside of family for the first time was extremely stressful, but Lorraine made the entire experience so much easier and gave me genuine peace of mind. From the moment I met her, I could tell she truly cared about animals and would treat our beloved dog with kindness and attention. She took wonderful care of him, kept me updated throughout the day, and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I am incredibly grateful for how patient, caring, and reliable she was, especially given how anxious I was about leaving him for the first time. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate sitter.
Violetta is so lovely and took such good care of Benny while we attended our daughter’s basketball games nearby. Benny was immediately calm and comfortable with her, and she treated him to lots of love and a long walk. I highly recommend booking with Violetta!
I was nervous dropping off my 3 month old puppy for the first time. Jonathan was very responsive, took the time to answer all of my questions prior to dropping off my little guy. He sent me updates throughout the day and peanut enjoyed it. Since then we have used Jonathan again and will continue to do so for the future!
We had an amazing experience with Molly & Patrick! They were incredibly friendly and accommodating from start to finish. Our pup was clearly well cared for—he got plenty of treats, lots of playtime, and many walks. When we were delayed returning due to a snowstorm, they were more than happy to accommodate an additional day, which we truly appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Montville on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of July 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 Montville 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 10,641 sitters in Montville, 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.
