“Rosemeri was a great dog sitter for our little Betty. She kept us updated with pictures and video of our pup while we were out for the day. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Kathy responded to our initial request incredibly quickly and couldn’t have been kinder. From the start, she was attentive and understanding—especially important for us since our dog can be a bit anxious in new environments. During our first drop-off, she took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, and we were relieved to hear that he had settled down shortly after we left. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’re so happy to have found someone we trust, and we’ve already booked with her again for an upcoming multi-night stay. Highly recommended!”
“Cinthia was amazing with Koda. She was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog and knowing he was in good hands. Would totally recommend leveraging cinthia if you have the opportunity.”
“Andrew is top rated for a reason! Totally worth the cost. He’s got a great space perfect for a dog to free roam and family all committed to the care of your little one. Professional, accommodating, attentive, and great with updates / communication. New to the area and was nervous leaving my little one with a new care giver for an extended period for work travel. Andrew gave me tons of peace of mind. Definitely recommend!”
“She is really thoughtful and caring! She sent us lots of pictures to keep us updated on our dog, and I could tell from those photos that she truly loves dogs. She pays great attention to detail and makes sure everything is done properly. I feel completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog with her — highly recommended!”
“Christina is amazing. She was able to accommodate a last minute request even when she was super busy. My dog, Bagel, was immediately at home with Christina and her family. Communication was fantastic and I would be really happy to book with Christina again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and I find so much joy in it. I’ve had a cocker spaniel for my entire life and love to be in the presence of them! Im currently working as a freelance designer remotely so I will have plenty of time to take care and play with your pups. I am available for overnight boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2 pm. I live in an apartment complex but there is plenty of space to walk the pups as needed outside as well as a dog park in the complex.
“First time with Katherine and she was so sweet and kind with my dog! Coco Limón was only there for a couple hours but I got plenty of pictures and updates. Her and her son snuggled and played with her and she was treated very well. Thank you !!”

I'm insured and can provide excellent verifiable references I'm home with you pup and I have a beautiful park across the street from me for lots of walks. Pups are allowed on furniture and lots of attention given. Plenty of updates and videos for your peace of mind. I’m insured, have 6+ years of experience, and excellent verifiable references. My home is clean, quiet, and intentionally low-capacity.
About: My patience with animals helps me connect with them over time. Being patient and understanding with them, while also knowing that they are very intelligent creatures, helps maintain healthy habits and disciplined dogs! Very open schedule while I am in between jobs. I love taking care of pets and love all animals. Great with routines and keeping animals disciplined. I go on long walks and having a furry companion always helps. I’ve worked in various family homes both taking care of pets and cleaning houses. I have a nice backyard and open spaces in my home.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and truly love being around animals. I grew up with a variety of pets including dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and tortoises. I’ve also fostered dogs and volunteered at animal shelters, which has given me hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and behaviors. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes as well as cats, and I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I take one client at a time, so your pet receives my full attention in a calm, home like environment. Since I work from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day and ensure pets are rarely left alone. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a more anxious dog who needs extra care, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to provide: - Regular walks throughout the day - Plenty of supervision and companionship - Flexible drop-off and pick-up times (with notice) - Availability for weekends and extended stays Because I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and get consistent attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and create a calm, safe environment for every pet. I don’t currently have any pets at home, which makes it ideal for dogs who prefer a quieter space or don’t get along well with other animals. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed. I provide regular updates with photos/videos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: Pet care is my world, and I’ve spent years getting to know dogs and cats of all kinds. From bouncy puppies 🐶 learning their manners to wise seniors 🐕🦺 who just need a gentle stroll and some fresh water, I’m here to make sure their routine stays perfect while you're away. 🛡️ My "Safety First" Approach: I’m not just there for a walk; I’m there to be your pet’s guardian. I’m the sitter who: Double-checks that harnesses are secure and doors are locked. 🔒 Scans the path ahead on walks to avoid reactive dogs or hazards. ⚠️ Ensures water bowls are topped off and paws are clean when we get back. 🐾 ✨ Real Care for Real Pets: I specialize in Drop-Ins and Walks where your pet's well-being is the priority. Whether it’s a high-energy power walk or a quiet backyard bathroom break for a senior, I adapt to what your pet needs that day. I’m especially patient with rescues or shy pups who need a little extra time to feel safe. 💜 📸 Simple, Honest Updates: I like to keep my focus on your pet rather than my phone screen, but I’ll always send you the essentials! You can expect: A quick "Pupdate" to let you know they pottied and played. A cute photo (or two!) of our visit. 🤳 Peace of mind knowing your home is secure and your pet is loved. My promise is simple: To treat your pets like my own family, keep them safe, and bring a bit of extra joy to their day every time I visit. ✨ ⏰ Dedicated Full-Time Professional Care Because pet care is my full-time career, your pets aren't a "side gig" squeezed between other shifts. They are my entire schedule! 🐾 🗓️ Flexibility That Fits Your Life: I’ve designed my day to be there when you can’t be. Whether your boss called a last-minute meeting or you just want your pup to have a consistent midday break, I’ve got you covered: Early Birds & Night Owls: From sunrise stretches 🌅 to evening tuck-ins 🌙, I'm on the road and ready. Midday Energy Bursts: Perfect for puppies or high-energy dogs who need to burn off steam while you’re at work. ⚡ Consistent & Dependable: Because this is my job, you don’t have to worry about me "calling out" for an office conflict. I am there, rain or shine. ☔️☀️ 🏠 Reliability You Can Trust: Being a full-time sitter means I take my reputation seriously. I keep my route tight so I can be on time and fully present. When I’m at your house, my phone stays in my pocket (except for that cute photo!) so your pet gets 100% of my attention. 🛡️✨ 🛡️ Your Home & Pet: Safe, Secure, & Respected I don’t just "watch" pets, I protect them. Whether I’m entering your home for a drop-in or heading out for a walk, I operate with a safety-first checklist to ensure total peace of mind for you. 🏠✨ 🚧 Out on the Walk: The "Double-Check" Rule: I always verify harness/collar tightness before we step outside. 🐕🦺 Awareness Training: I’m constantly scanning the environment for other dogs, reactive triggers, or unsafe debris on the sidewalk. ⚠️ Temperature Checks: In summer or winter, I check pavement heat or ice levels to keep those paws protected. 🐾🌡️ 🔒 Inside Your Home: Security Expert: I am hyper-diligent about locking doors, arming alarms, and ensuring gates are clicked shut. Your home’s security is as important as your pet's. 🔑 Environment Scan: I check for hazards, empty water bowls, or anything your pet shouldn't be chewing on before I leave. 🚫🦴 The Little Things: I make sure the "routine" is followed, whether that’s a specific treat spot, a white noise machine, or a favorite blanket. 💜 The Professional Promise: I treat your space with the highest level of respect. I’m a quiet, clean, and reliable presence. My goal is for you to walk through your door and feel like I was never there except for the fact that your pet is happy, calm, and well-cared for! 🏠💫

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in North Arlington on Rover is $42.18 per day (as of June 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 North Arlington 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 11,422 sitters in North Arlington, 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.
