“Our dog always has the best time with Aeli and her dogs! She sends so many pictures and was able to watch her on Thanksgiving which was so helpful. Ruby can’t wait to go back!”

About: What sets us apart is that we are dog parents ourselves. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. We have experience raising and caring for different breeds, including a Samoyed, Weimaraner, Shetland Sheepdog, and Golden Retriever. Our dogs are friendly and social, and we carefully supervise all interactions to ensure a safe and positive environment. We focus on each dog’s comfort, routine, and safety. We follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions from owners. Every dog in our care is treated like part of our family. On days I accept bookings, I’m home all day to give dogs my full attention, provide close supervision, and make sure they get plenty of walks and care. I provide a calm, safe, and dog-friendly environment in my home. All dogs are closely supervised, especially during playtime and interactions with other dogs. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. Because I am a dog owner myself, I understand how important safety and trust are. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like a member of our family.
“Lauren was fabulous with our pup, Mika. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter so of course I was a bit nervous how she’d do. Lauren’s enthusiasm and positive energy immediately put my fears to rest, and obviously Mika’s too. Lauren sent me pictures throughout the day to let me know Mika was doing great. I appreciated her care and good communication. Would highly recommend.”
“Hope is a saint!!! She was kind enough to give my dogs a chance for doggy day care at her home. She was gracious enough to get to know them to make sure all parties were comfortable. I really appreciate her approach and attentiveness with myself any my pups. She really put my soul at ease with her communication and photos that made me smile. If I could I would have a repeat stay for my dogs but of course she was booked and busy. You will not have to worry at all.”
“Jolly sitter, Ms. Lee is an high- level expert to take care of dog as a dog mom. Already jolly miss her. I'm so jealous for her. Even she made me relived to send pictures & videos. Next occasions for Jolly, I will choose her again! Thanks lee & Rover. You are my saviour!”
About: Our pets always feel safe and loved, so will yours! We have 2 small dogs (yorkies) who are friendly and happy to accommodate more friends. Our family LOVES animals (especially small dogs) and we will make yours feel part of our pack! I work full time but close by for potty breaks and feedings. I can offer a regimen if needed. Play, food, rest and everything in between! Weekends are more relaxed and laid back and the pooches enjoy more of our attention on those days! I have a fenced in yard with lots of space to run, frolic and play. Dogs can also relax on our furniture and sleep comfortably. Our house is quiet for the most part and we have storm doors that act as another layer of protection for those little runners!
“So happy I found Evelyn for weekly day care! They've been soo accommodating and flexible for me. Excellent communicators and always send pics of my Aussie looking so at home. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. Working with animals has been a rewarding and positive experience. I look forward to continuing caring for pets as if they were my own. I value how important it is to feel safe and comfortable with the person who is nurturing and caring for your pet(s). Pets truly are a member of any family! My schedule is extremely flexible and I am here to work with you to meet the needs of your pet. I am available weekdays and weekends, days and nights. I am very attentive in needs for your pet. I do not have a fenced in yard. Playing and walking outdoors will be done with a leash. The inside of my home is spacious for dogs to run around and play.
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for dogs since my own pup was just 8 weeks old. From fun off-leash adventures to cozy times at home, I’ve helped my dog grow into a friendly, well-socialized little buddy. I also enjoy walking g and looking after my brother’s dogs (medium and larger size). I always make sure each pet gets the attention they deserve and it makes me happy to see them happy and cared for. Thank you for reading this and I can’t wait to help you too. I’m currently taking a break from my professional career to spend some more time at home with both my children and pup. My kids are teens and at school during the day so I have time for extra dog walks and care. I have a fully fenced in large backyard and my Cockapoo pup is super friendly around both people and other dogs. I’d want to meet and greet before caring for your pup to ensure we are all comfortable and I understand how you’d like me to care for your pet in your home or around your neighborhood.
“Mochi had a great time with Alina and her loving family. Her children, mother, and dog Oreo all played with Mochi throughout her stay to keep her company. She had a lot of fun and slept well that night!”
“Cathy is one of the only people we trust to watch our dog. I know that he is in good hands when he is there and we don’t have to worry. Ollie always come home happy! We will be leaving him there again :)”
About: I absolutely love to hike and walk after work and on Saturdays. I would love to share my love of the outdoors with a dog who might not have the chance to be walked in the evenings or on a Saturdays. I am a loving Mother of 2 boys ages 18 and 21 and I own a Mini-Goldendoodle who has brought my family so much love. I am a very loving, caring and patient person who would like to share some spare time with a dog who could use some fresh air and great walks. I have cared for my dog for over 9 years and believe I have the experience necessary to be a great dog walker. I am looking for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings to walk and also available most Saturdays during the day. Sundays my boyfriend, my Goldendoodle and I hike all over the Hudson Valley if someone is interested in us taking their dog along.

Jolly sitter, Ms. Lee is an high- level expert to take care of dog as a dog mom. Already jolly miss her. I'm so jealous for her. Even she made me relived to send pictures & videos. Next occasions for Jolly, I will choose her again! Thanks lee & Rover. You are my saviour!
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!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Old Tappan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Old Tappan on Rover is $86.58 per day (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 11,069 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Old Tappan. 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 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.
