“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: I’ve always had cats and dogs throughout my adult life. My husband and I operate a small home-based business, which allows us to have a flexible schedule. We both genuinely love animals, so we’ve been actively providing a cat boarding, dog walking and drop-in visits through Wag and Rover. We’ve gained great experience and positive feedback from our clients, and we always prioritize safety, reliability, and loving care. I genuinely love both cats and dogs and care for them with patience, kindness, and responsibility. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, whether it’s playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or following specific routines. Ensuring your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness is always my top priority. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. My husband and I have been running our own business from home in Paramus, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I already own and care for two cats and one dog at home, so my days are structured around feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Because I work from home, I’m able to freely adjust my time to care for your pet—whether that means regular check-ins, longer visits, walks, or simply spending quality time to make them feel comfortable and secure. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking services in my clients’ homes only but I offer a boarding service for cats. During drop-in visits, I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. For dog walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks suited to your dog’s energy level and needs, always paying close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. When walking a large dog or two dogs at the same time, my husband joins me so we can work as a team and ensure the dogs are cared for safely. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I can adjust my time to provide reliable visits and walks. I’m also happy to send photo and text updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind.
“We had a last minute booking due to an unexpected situation and we were desperately in need of a babysitter for our little guy. Karla was extremely responsive, friendly, and caring. My little guy just walked right in to her home as if he knew her all his life. He looked so happy when I picked him up. I will definitely recommend Karla and will be using her services again.”
“I was so happy to have Ophelia stay with Deborah, and she had a great time playing with Deborah’s dog Henry. Deborah’s house is very neat and clean, she’s a great communicator, and overall a lovely person to meet. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Liz and her family were great! They took excellent care of my pup during the day. I felt at ease knowing that Louie was safe and having fun. I would definitely use Liz again for doggy daycare!”
“Fantastic sitter. Very responsive and shares many updates throughout the day. Their dog was also very well trained and got along so well with our puppy. Can 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!”
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!

Amazing!!! She was so nice and great with pictures and communication. I’ve been searching for someone with Frenchie / Frenchie experience since the breed is super sensitive and I’m glad i found Wendy! My little guy is very shy but he seemed to fit right in with Wendy and her dogs. I will absolutely be booking again.
Erica was AMAZING with Chloe! 🐶 My pup spent the entire day with her and did wonderfully. It was clear from the beginning how caring, patient, and attentive Erica is. Chloe came back home happy, relaxed and very well taken care of, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Erica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Erica! 🙌💙
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!
Kun, from the get-go had been very responsive. Bunny has stayed with Kun and his wonderful family a couple of times for daycare and they have been so kind and loving to Bunny. Kun takes Bunny out for walks, makes Bunny practice his tricks and overall keeps Bunny very mentally stimulated! Can’t recommend him enough! Also, Som is super adorable 🥰

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Paramus
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Paramus on Rover is $38.85 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 11,230 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Paramus. 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 Paramus 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.

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.
