“Kiky was absolutely fantastic with my 5-year-old Yorkie! She is incredibly patient and caring, which is so important for a smaller dog. I really appreciated how responsive she was throughout the booking, and the photos she sent were amazing—it was so nice to see my pup looking happy and settled. It’s clear she has a genuine love for dogs and takes great care of them. I felt totally at ease leaving him in her hands and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Miran & Jennie treated my dog so well! I received photos as well which was helpful because I was nervous to use Rover for the first time. Their dog Bambi is also so sweet. Thank you Miran & Jennie!”
About: I've had dogs all my life! My pup Toffee is my best friend, nothing beats coming home to someone who's always so excited to see you! I take care of friends' and family's dogs while they're away as well - both large and small. I spoil them and always want them to feel at home while their person is away. I take the pups out about every 3-4 hours or as needed. It breaks up the day as well and give me a chance to get up and walk too! Intermittent games of fetch between zoom calls are always on the agenda as well! Lunchtime breaks consist of lots of play time, and after work I usually make sure that we spend a good amount of time outside. I take the pups out about every 3-4 hours or as needed. It breaks up the day as well and give me a chance to get up and walk too! I love giving lots of playtime and cuddles on the floor, and love being able to take them out to the park to run and play, or just a leisurely stroll around the block! I'll practice commands too with lots of treats and praise!
“Wan is an amazing, sweet, caring person .She is highly professional, extremely responsible and truly cares about the animals. You could not ask for a better person to care for your animals.”
“Denise took great care of my two boys! She walked them, played with them and let them have fun with her sweet grandkids in the backyard. She provided plenty of pictures and updates and has a beautiful home to host the dogs in. I can tell she takes pride in having a good home for the dogs she cares for and is very responsive, responsible and attentive! My dogs will be excited to go back and see her again soon :)”
“Sherrie was great! Super nice and accommodating, she was able to watch our pup Zoe on Christmas on short notice. Zoe had a wonderful day with Sherrie and her doodles, and even came home with some homemade Christmas treats! 🎄😊”
“Tao and his daughter did a wonderful job with our boy Logan. He kept in constant contact and answered all of our questions and even sent over pictures of our special boy throughout the day without being asked to do so. We're going to continue to have our boy stay there when needed. We feel very lucky to have met him and his daughter.”
“Susan was very pleasant to work with and took great care of our dog Skylar. She sent updates and photos throughout the day. We highly recommend booking with her and are confident any dog under her care will be in great hands!”
“Keunyung was amazing. We recently moved to the area and were looking for a new sitter. She had a great reviews and was definitely as others recommended. She knew how to calm my nervous Charlie. During his stay she sent many photos and I could see that Charlie was feeling safe and happy. When I went back to pick him up he didnt want to leave. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Chris! Milo was well cared for, and it was clear he was comfortable and happy during his stay. Communication was excellent throughout the day, with updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. The meet and greet process was easy, Chris was very kind, and attentive to Milo’s needs. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾💕”
About: Hi there! I’ve been lucky enough to have dogs in my life for over 20 years, so I really know what it takes to keep them happy and healthy. Growing up with dogs taught me all the little things that make a big difference in their care—whether it’s their exercise needs or just knowing when they need a good belly rub! Right now, I’ve got a super friendly 40lb Mini Bernedoodle who’s all about having fun, so I totally get how important it is to make walks enjoyable and stress-free for your dog. I’m here to make sure your pup has a great time, gets plenty of love, and stays safe on every walk. If you’re looking for a relaxed, dog-loving walker who knows how to keep tails wagging, I’d love to help out! I work from home, part time, so I'm home most of the day and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog plenty of attention. I'm ready to give them all the love and attention they need. Your dog will be in good hands, whether it's a walk, a game, or just a cozy cuddle session! When your pooch is at my place, they’ll be treated just like my dog, Luna! They’ll have full access to the furniture, get all the cuddles, and enjoy the same care and attention Luna gets. I believe pets should feel at home, so I make sure they’re comfortable and loved during their stay. If I’m taking care of your dog at your place, I’ll follow your routine and make sure they’re happy and well-looked after. I’ll give them plenty of playtime, walks, and lots of love—just like I do for Luna!
About: I have a two senior furry friends that always seek attention. 🐶🐈⬛ My 12 year old pup was diagnosed with insulinoma about 2 years ago, and ever since she has been living the best senior life full of pup cups and Trader Joe’s salmon skins. ❤️ It is through her that I have learned a great deal in friendship and cuddles. 🫂 I am currently working part-time on Rover on the weekdays and weekends when needed. I do have a schedule on my pet’s meal time for 10am, 12pm, 6pm, and 10pm. 🕙 All times vary, and can be accommodated. ❤️ My home is right by the Leonia forest, so it’s the best for taking our fur babies on strolls to allow them to get more fresh air and whiffs of nature. 🌱 All standard necessities such as bathing, grooming, and feeding I am capable of. If needed, please do let me know your preferred routine, and any allergies, medications, or food diets for your pup(s) that I should be mindful of.

Susan and her husband are AMAZING! I was extremely stressed trying to find someone to watch Mochi at the last minute but Susan responded quickly, was incredibly flexible, and worked with me every step of the way. Throughout Mochi's stay, she sends regular updates and photos, which I absolutely loved. Mochi absolutely adores them. I highly highly recommend!
They accepted my last minute booking. Very communicative and just really friendly people. They were accommodating with my senior dog needs. You could tell they have alot of experience caring with pets. Such and pawsome sitter. Thank you and I hope you’ll accept our future requests.
Keunyung was amazing! She provided updates every few hours, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Louie was all smiles and absolutely loved spending time with her. She took wonderful care of him, and it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾
Pierre and Minji were wonderful with Coco. This has been the first time she was calm at another place other than home. I could tell they treated as their own dog. Communication was great at all times and they are just lovely people. I’m so happy to have found this amazing pair to trust Coco with anytime.
Kiky was very caring of Tammy, communicative throughout her stay and reliable. She followed my care instructions and really did her best to make sure Tammy was comfortable in her new environment and ate her food. She sent video and photo updates throughout the day too which I appreciated. Overall, very friendly service and I felt like my dog was in good hands.
As always Catherine is reliable. Cub is used to her and her sweet Cashew. Her place is dog-friendly and so is the area by her apartment. She takes Cub for walks and sends us photos. She just knows what to do and we trust her. Thank you so much, Catherine for caring for Cub.
Denise L was fantastic! I booked her last minute on Rover to watch my furry baby Camilla, and she was super responsive and accommodating. Camilla was happy and well cared for. Denise also gave camilla her medications and made the whole experience stress-free. I’d definitely book her again!
Carly took such great care of Mango! She made sure she got multiple walks in and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was my first time leaving Mango, so I was a little nervous, but Carly made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. Mango clearly felt super comfortable, she had such a good time she didn’t even miss me 😭 You can tell Carly genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I’d absolutely trust her with Mango again and highly recommend her 💛
Haram was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She was very responsive, kind, and attentive throughout the stay. I appreciate the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Palisades Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Palisades Park on Rover is $57.17 per day (as of July 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 .

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 Palisades Park 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 11,434 sitters in Palisades Park, 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.
