Actually, I already booked for April boarding! Thank you so much, Evelien!!”

“Its never easy to leave a pet with a stranger. I saw all her reviews and rebooks, so it was a very easy decision. I went ahead and left my little guy with Tammy, and I couldn't be happier. He was happy when I left him and happy when I came back, so I know he had a great time. Thank you so much Tammy!!!”
“Tyler has cared for my dog twice, and both experiences were excellent. He was always waiting outside for pickup and drop-off, which made the transition easy and stress-free. My dog went right to him both times and seemed genuinely happy to see him, which gave me a lot of confidence in his care. On our second visit, I accidentally clipped her leash to her name tag ring instead of her collar. She slipped free and ran after another dog across the street. Thankfully, Tyler reacted immediately, ran after her, and safely secured her. It was a scary moment, and I was incredibly grateful for how quickly and calmly he handled it. The fact that my dog was excited to return for a second stay spoke volumes. I'm thankful she was in such caring and capable hands and would happily recommend Tyler to other pet parents.”
“So grateful and thankful for these amazing sitters! I truly don’t know what I’d do without you both. From being able to book with you guys the day before to feeling assured that Luna was in good hands- there’s no doubt that I would continue booking again!”
“Diana was great and so patient with my dog. My dog was very nervous and didn't want to go with her but she was so kind and loving, she went with her. She spent the whole day with her and kept me updated throughout the day. I would highly recommend her. In fact, my dog is going back two more days this week to Diana.”
“Jocelyn took lovely care of our two dogs for a day while we went into the city - she sent plenty of pics of them having fun and they came home tired and happy :) drop off and pick up was also super easy!”
“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!”
“Cathy was very warm and welcoming to Archy. He seemed comfortable right from the beginning of the day and he was happy and engaged when we returned in the evening to pick him up. This was a great first day away for Archy and we will definitely return for Cathy's care! Thank you! Joe”

Very sweet family, they made me feel really comfortable leaving my little floof with them as this was my first time using Rover. They sent over so many photos and made sure I was up to date on how he was doing. They were supper accommodating to Benji’s needs. Highly recommend, I plan to use them again for any future needs.
We knew we had found the perfect sitter for Sadie at our meet and greet. Evelien is calm, welcoming and so patient. Sadie has had two doggy day care visits and loves her new friends, we know she will be welcomed and in the best of hands when she stays for boarding.
Mia had great communication with us before and during the stay, including asking good questions about his needs and giving us plenty of info about how she would care for his specific requirements. Gilmore is anxious and reactive to other animals and Mia was very confident and well prepared to handle it, and we picked up a happy, healthy, well cared for boy!
Hope is a great sitter and was truly a pleasure to work with! Our pup, Nubya, enjoyed going out in the beautiful backyard and for walks around the neighborhood meeting Hope's neighbors. I really appreciated the regular updates with photos throughout the day. We will definitely have Hope watch Nubya again!

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 Old Tappan 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 11,069 sitters in Old Tappan, 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.
