About: Hi! My name is Madelyn, and I am a dog momma! I have never known my life without dogs, and I believe they make the world a brighter place! I can walk your dog, do home check ins, or any service that you may need! I also have two very sweet fur babies myself, so if needed, they will always have friends to play with! My husband is in the Air Force, and I work from home, so I am always available day or night! No matter what you need, I am here for you. I would love to take care of your babies. I have a fenced in yard that your dogs can play in, as well as two dogs of my own for your babies to play with! Both of my dogs are fully vaccinated, and have regular vet visits. I am also able to take your babies to the park if you are comfortable with that as well.
“Lola has been with Venessa numerous times for daycare, every time is exceptional, I feel at ease, and the communication is all day with pictures and updates on how she is doing. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Ashley did an amazing job watching our fur babies! She was very responsive and communicated the entire time. Stanley and Lola loved spending the day cuddling with her. Thanks so much Ashley!”
“I cannot recommend Vickie and Heath enough! Wonderful! From the moment we began communicating to picking up my dog Maui, Vickie was wonderful and warm-hearted! Maui is an 8 month-old Labrador, so he needs a lot of attention still… And, I felt such peace of mind leaving him for the day with Vickie and Heath. I received video updates and could see he was having so much fun! I’m so glad I found Vickie and Heath and look forward to when Maui can go back and have more fun!”
About: I have many years of experience with dogs. I have babysat and cared for friends dogs and also for my own dog. I recently adopted a cat so I also have a little over a year of experience with looking over cats. I have lots of free time to be able to play and care for your pets. I don’t have many distractions during the day meaning my full attention will be caring for your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and a pretty spacious home. There is lots of room for my cat to roam around. He even has his own room and his own bathroom. There isn’t a lot of traffic around my neighborhood so I like to let my cat outside on a leash so he can feel the sun on his face.
“Tom's place is awesome!! I work at the nearby military instillation and I was using Tom's daycare services. He was open to a meet and greet the day before I was supposed to drop off my pet which was from 7am-5pm, and he met Ollie and then showed us around a bit which made me feel much better knowing my dog was going to be kept in such clean and organized conditions. You can clearly tell how well Tom takes care of his own dogs. Everyday I used his service I could tell my dog had a great time and got to experience what walking in a pack was like. He came home exhausted each day and Tom sent great pictures and videos which made me feel better. As Tom states in his bio, if your dog is crate trained, good with other dogs and has a daily routine this is the place for you! Your dogs will love their experience at Tom's Place!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. Up until recently, I have raised 2 dogs for the past 15 years and cats prior to/during part of that time. I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 young adults away at college so I have flexibility to visit homes with dogs or cats throughout the day. My innate ability to connect with animals has inspired me to seek out work where I may spend more time caring for them. I understand the care and concern pet owners have for their pets, especially when they are not able to be home for them. My experience being the primary caregiver for my own pets has nurtured my love for animals and provided me with knowledge of basic training techniques. It is my goal to provide peace of mind that I will care for your pet the same as I would for my own furry loved one. I look forward to visiting with new furry friends! I am currently home all days of the week except midday Tuesdays. Therefore, I have flexibility to visit pets throughout the day on most days. I am currently living in a neighborhood with ample space for walks. In addition, I have reliable transportation for visits to clients’ homes as necessary.
“Kaela and her family are awesome. We really liked how responsive and accommodating she was. We needed to book a last minute reservation 2 days for our dog for July 4th, she quickly responded to confirm. Most importantly, seeing our dog happy when we picked her up the first day, and wagging her tail when seeing Kaela the second day, showed us how happy the doggo was with Kaela. I'd definitely love to have Kaela take care of our dog the next time we are in the area.”
“Elias and Alicia were so great! I felt as ease with them watching my dogs and received updates about them during their stay! We will definitely book with them again!”
“Stephanie was great! She was very warm and welcoming. She sent lots of pictures and updates to let me know how Ollie was doing! I would definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I give all the dogs I watch so much tender loving care and they are spoiled by me and my family. They are in great hands, no doubt. I work full-time from home and have plenty of time to care for all your dogs needs and have a set routine in place for your dog. I have a fenced yard for the dogs fresh air and bowel relief opportunities. I also have a Frenchie that will keep your pup company.
“Amber did a fantastic job with our rambunctious 5 month old puppy, Oaklyn. She kept her overnight and all day. We received lots of pictures of our pup which really gave us a sense of comfort. We will definitely be using Amber again in the future if she’ll have us!”
“Swapna took the very best care of Koko. She was in constant contact with me, sending updates and pix throughout the time Koko was there. Her home and yard were perfect for Koko. Large backyard completely fenced in. Lower level of her home, separated from her animals, was clean and smell-free. I would definitely recommend Swapna to care for any of your pets.”
“Wonderful family! Daisy enjoyed staying with them. I was in a crunch trying to find a sitter and Lauren and Derek were there for us. They did a great job making my dog feel comfortable when she was initially nervous. I highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Gabriela!! She is a fantastic communicator and very accommodating. She watched our dog for us while we were traveling in the area and wanted to take a day trip to Six Flags Great Adventure. You won’t be disappointed with her attentiveness to your dogs needs. Our girl had a great time romping around outside. Thank you!! We will definitely seek her services again if we decide to make another trip down.”
“This was the first time for Max at doggie daycare with Marisa. I highly recommend her she is calm,kind and I will be setting up Max's next doggie daycare in the next 2 weeks.”

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was 12. I have taught my own dogs many tricks, take them on frequent walks, and provide lots of love! I make sure they have fresh water, food, and clean fur. I enjoy playing with small dogs gently and with care! I am a Kindergarten teacher that is currently available all summer long! I enjoy being active and keeping busy. Tending to animals has always been a passion of mine during my down time. I currently do not own any pets at the moment. When I did, I made sure to take my dogs for several walks, feed them with quality meals, change their water, and make sure their area is safe from hazardous items before leaving the house.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
