“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!”
“Rocio have been absolutely a blessing to my Rosie, black Lab puppy. We are so relieved and happy that someone other than us can keep her safe and joyful. She plays hard in their care and comes home super tired.”
“Chulmin and Hyojin were great at communicating with us and very accommodating with scheduling and rescheduling. After we dropped off our puppy, Chulmin and Hyojin kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the day! We were nervous about leaving our puppy with a dog sitter for the first time and we are so glad we’ve found Chulmin and Hyojin. We’ll definitely book them again!”
“Jinghong is a very caring sitter. My dog Bacon fell in love with her starting from meet and greet. Bacon was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates and photos. It was obvious he was happy and comfortable during his stay. Thank you for treating him with such care—I would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to others!”
“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!”

Petrusha came back relaxed and happy. We definitely will let him stay with Shamel more times. It's very good to know that you have a person who is reliable and helpful to stay with your pet. Thank you, Shamel!”

About: Hi, I'm Vivian! I've been caring for pets for over 10 years—everything from energetic puppies to wise senior pets. I have personal experience with a variety of breeds, including Pomskies, Labradors, and cats with special needs. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, or just giving belly rubs and playtime, I treat every pet like they're part of my family. I'm attentive, reliable, and always aim to make your pet feel safe and loved while you're away. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them and follow your care instructions to a tee. Let me help make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet! Pet care is my full-time focus, and working from home gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening routines, I’m able to stay present and responsive to each pet’s needs. My remote work lifestyle means I can offer dependable care, accommodate last-minute requests, and maintain a calm, reassuring environment for pets. Caring for animals is more than part of my routine—it’s something I genuinely love and prioritize every day. Whether your pet is crashing at my place or I’m swinging by yours, I’m all about making them feel safe, happy, and loved. My home is pet-friendly, cozy, and full of good vibes—perfect for lounging, playing, and getting spoiled with attention. I stick to their usual routines to keep things familiar and stress-free (yes, even the quirky ones!). During drop-in visits, I make sure your pets get everything they need—from meals and belly rubs to a little playtime and TLC. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every visit like it’s the highlight of my day (because it is). Basically, your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority—whether they’re hanging out with me or waiting for you at home!
“Ritu and Nischaya are just what we were looking for in dogsitters. They clearly love dogs and are very kind to our dog, who looks forward to visiting them and playing with their sweet labrador. Nischaya has great training tips too.”
“Thank you to Amarys and her family for taking such great care of my babies! She kept me updated throughout the day, was very responsive, and sent me lots of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. She followed all of my instructions and spent plenty of time playing with my dogs. I’m so happy I found the right person. I’ve already booked another daycare with her and can’t wait to see her again!”
“This was our first time putting our Choco in day care. We were extremely nervous given he is a new dog and we were unsure about his behavior around other dogs. However, Michelangelo was extremely professional and introduced his dogs to Choco, they had such a wonderful time together and put my mind at ease knowing he was in good hands!”
“We have a five-month-old puppy who’s full of energy, and we reached out to Chen last minute hoping she might be able to help. She kindly accommodated us, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Throughout Peanut’s stay, she showed the utmost attention to detail and gave him so much care and love. She also sent frequent photo and video updates, which truly put our minds at ease knowing he was in great hands. Peanut had a wonderful day with her, and we can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind and the exceptional care she provided! 💛🐾”
“We have been using Sandra and San for the last month. We are very happy with the service they provide. When we drive up there block, Shelby gets excited and is very happy to see them. They are warm, kind, and conscientious and we feel comfortable allowing them to take care of our furry baby.”
“Zuleyka took Blue in for 8 days. She was very flexible with the reservation since I confirmed almost last minute. There was not one day without many updates and pictures, and she also bathed Blue as he got dirty. Zuleyka was very professional and friendly since the beginning to end, not to mention that Blue was not behaving too good at first and she was still ok with him and communicating all Blue’s needs and moods as he was sad without us. I could see how his fave changed to a quick “Happy” a couple of days later. I would definitely book Zuleyka again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Paramus
Eric was awesome! I needed someone to watch Murph for the day and none of my regulars were available. Eric was my last chance and lucky for us he was available. But the real story here is that it was a great experience. Eric was extremely nice, easygoing and both him and his wife were very personable. I felt like I had known him all along and he that had watched Murphy before. Their dog, Bacon, is as gentle as can be and got along well with Murphy. I definitely will look to use Eric's services in the future.
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 🥰

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
