“Moxie had a great time with Amanda! We can tell because she came back so exhausted from the fun time she had with all her new furry friends. Amanda was very responsive leading up to and during Moxie’s stay, and she sent us updates with photos throughout the day. We were a little anxious leaving puppy for the first time with a sitter, but Amanda made us feel very comfortable with the whole experience. I’m not sure how often we will need a pet sitter, but we’ll definitely think of Amanda if we need one!”

About: I’ve had an insane love for dogs since I was a little girl. They bring me so much happiness and joy and I love all their little personalities. I’m working from home so I have more than enough time to show the babies love and bring them outside when necessary. My dog & I love being outside and exploring the town. I live in an apartment building so I’m Constantly taking my dog out to the park to let out some steam and energy, and of course to go to the potty. You should have no worries leaving your fur baby in my hands, I have had a dog or multiple dogs my entire life and I have a huge spot in my heart for them. I am someone I would feel more than comfortable leaving my dog with.

About: I've been taking care animals my entire life from puppies to seniors. I've owned 10+ pets and am the dog sitter of my family. I have doggy stroller for smaller puppers that get tired from our walks. I am retired and have all the time in the world to spend time with your precious babies. I'm never out of the house for more then an hour doing errand and have plenty of time for daily walks. I have a small fenced in yard. I also have two friendly cats to keep your doggies company and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. At bedtime I have them sleep in the same room with me if they prefer.
“A warm inviting start on Miso’s first day with Jason and Brit. Miso is very small and was given a lot of extra lap time and alone time with Jason and Brit. After a bad experience in Philadelphia at a doggy daycare center she needed extra everything and she got it. She came home, ate and is fast asleep! It was good day ☺️”
About: I have been a loving dog owner for 40+years now. My pets have included lap dogs, hunting, working mixed and show breeds. I’m experienced in dog training and obedience. I have taken the pleasure of showing AKC dogs and have a practical knowledge in breeding dogs. I am very passionate about the care I give to my animals in my home. I always found joy in having a dog in my presence. “It’s a necessity”. I have bred and raised dogs from puppyhood to adults all while raising four children myself. I have rescued quite a few dogs and gave them a loving and safe home. I have helped my friends and family train their own dogs. A real feeling of love, comfort and trust come forth in my animals while in my care. I am well versed in any care for canines. At one point in my life, I had horses, sheep, chickens, goats, fish, lizards, cats, rabbits and birds. What can I say, I’m an animal lover! Fur sure! Currently retired! I have all day to spend with your pet. I will include your pet with my daily activities. Pet will NOT be unattended. I will care for your pet according to your instructions and routine. I am comfortable administering medications, providing post-surgery care, and giving plenty of love and attention. Crating can be accommodated if requested. Pets receive regular exercise, walks, and potty breaks as needed, with a minimum of two outings per day. If approved by the owner, I can also take dogs to a local dog park for additional exercise and socialization. While I do not have a fenced yard, pets are always supervised outdoors, and I have plenty of space for safe play and exercise.
“Melissa thank you so much for your patience and attentiveness with Audrey. Thank you for all the detailed information of her activities and pictures during her stay! Your awesome! Audrey is looking forward to see you and your family soon. Your puppy Cali is so cute and well behave. She is also sweet with Audrey. ?”
About: I've had a strong love for animals since I was a kid and always grew up with a pet. While that's a common backstory, I wanted mine to result in becoming a veterinarian. Now that may not have happened (I changed my mind in college), but my love and desire to be around them has never changed. I've owned birds, hamsters, turtles, cats, dogs and fish. From my childhood dog Bruno who died a few years ago, to my late grandma's dog Jabar (who I drove across the country to get when she died) to my current babies; Brick (rescued from the streets) and Plato (my turtle rescued from an unethical vendor). Here we are now, one big, happy multi-species family! I work from home while my partner goes into an office. This is how I can care for my boy Brick and my other house doggie Jabar (his mommy goes to work so I take care of him during the day too). I can give your baby a huge portion of my attention a day, because Brick is a puppy I always watch him like a hawk. Brick gets up around 4:30 am with his dad so he can get breakfast and go out. But I don't wake up until around 7:30 am so that's when Brick comes back out. We go outside and I let him run around like crazy for about 30-45 mins and then I keep him in the living room with me while I start work. Because he's a puppy, every two hours we outside to the background and he gets lunch around 2 pm. He gets about 2 hours out to play and be with Jabar, and in the cage for an hour. That's on routine throughout the day but when Dad gets home around 6 he's out for the rest of the day until bed. Jabar is older and more independent so he plays, roams the house, eats and drinks throughout the day when he wants and goes outside with me and Brick.
“It is Chadwick's first day with Megan. She made sure Chadwick's needs are taken cared of. She is welcoming and treated our dog as her own. Thank you so much Megan for the wonderful care.”

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Phillipsburg on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Phillipsburg 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 654 sitters in Phillipsburg, 89% 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.
