“Alice is great with my special needs senior dog Porter. He is happy every time he sees her, and she is very responsible with catering to his special needs, allergies and medical conditions. She is very communicative and lets me know any changes observed in Porter during his stay, plus sends cute pictures regularly. I trust her with my deaf/blind senior completely.”
“This was not only my first time with Julissa but my first time using Rover. Wow did she make an amazing impression! My puppy Luna loves her! She was very response and immediately replied to any questions I had, or If I was just checking in. She was timely having everything ready for drop off and pick up. She followed my instructions for a puppy that has stomach problems. Not to mention she sent pictures of my puppy throughout the day which was so thoughtful. I picked up a tired happy pup! Will definitely be using Julissa in the near future!”
“Barbara is great! I have an 8 week old Labrador retriever, full of puppy energy and I was very carefully vetting someone I felt could handle him with authentic love and care but who also understands dogs in all stages of their lives. After reading about Barbara and her experience and love for animals my gut told me she was the right choice. I was right! She was accommodating, punctual, friendly, kept me updated throughout the day & took pictures which made me feel at ease knowing he was thriving in her care. She has a beautiful yard which is a huge plus cause I know my boy got some good fun & exercise. Will definitely rebook :)!”
“Lupe was amazing from the initial conversation online to meeting in person. I could feel that our dog was in safe and reliable hands and he took such good care of him and got the best photos. Can’t wait to use him again!”
“Myah had a great time at Jamie's playing with Ollie! This was her first time and she was excited to be going when we pulled in the driveway. She came home very happy and tired!”
“Jinjie was an incredible sitter for our puppy Clover! Our pup can be a bit nervous at first so she ensured we had a meet up prior to the stay and did a great job at making Clover feel comfortable! Our puppy also loved her cat and dog! Would highly highly recommend Jinjie (:”
About: I have a deep love for all animals and years of personal experience caring for pets. I am a proud owner of a friendly small dog, and I also have beautiful Lovebirds, Parakeets, and a peaceful fish aquarium at home, making my space full of life and care. I completely understand the daily routines, love, and attention that pets need. Since I work from home, my environment is safe, welcoming, and smoke-free, where your furry family member will receive non-stop attention, regular potty breaks, and a welcoming playmate! I love going for daily walks and ensuring pets stay happy and active. I promise to treat your pet with the same love, care, and respect as if they were my own! I manage my schedule beautifully, which means I am almost always at home to care for the pets. I can easily adjust my daily routine to match your pet's feeding, walking, and playtime needs. Whether it is a weekday or a weekend, your furry family member will receive constant attention, love, and timely potty breaks throughout their entire stay with me. Safety is my absolute top priority. My home is a clean, smoke-free, and welcoming environment. I have a friendly small dog to keep your pet company, and all guest pets are closely supervised during playtime. I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding crating, feeding, and medical needs. I also make sure my pet birds and aquarium are kept securely out of reach to ensure a stress-free and peaceful stay for everyone.
“William is an excellent Dog Sitter. His hours are very flexible, if I get stuck at work a little late. My dog loves him. As soon as we pull up to the house, he starts wagging his tail all excited to go visit his new friends.”
“Lineth is a great sitter. We left Pie with Lineth for the day and she took really good care of him. Usually Pie takes a lot of time to adjust to a new person but Lineth was able to bond with him quite quickly. That's a testament to her skills. Next time we need a sitter for Pie in NJ, we will definitely reach out to Lineth. Also Lineth was wonderful at keeping us updated. Even though Pie was with her for a few hours, we got regular pictures and texts. Fantastic experience overall.”
“Bonnie was the absolute best! Very last minute accommodating and provided plenty of updates with pictures and text. She kept really good care of my dog! Would highly recommend.”
“Suna provided outstanding and loving care to Buddy while he was with her. Buddy enjoyed going to her home every day and playing with her sweet Maltese, Mimi. The two dogs became forever friends! Suna communicated with us daily, providing text and photo updates, clearly indicating that Buddy was well taken care of during his time with her. I highly recommend Suna if you're looking for someone who will go the extra mile to insure that your beloved pet is safe and happy, whether for overnight stays or daytime care.”
“From the meet and greet to the stay next day, Kajal was very warm, friendly and caring towards Romeo. She made us very comfortable to leave our little one with her. Kajal made sure she sent us pictures and videos and kept us upto date with him. I know Romeo was in good and trusted hands and would definitely leave Romeo with her in the future.”
“Laraine was very accommodating with my puppy Arwen. Arwen seemed to have a great time and played with the other dogs so much that she fell asleep within minutes of being back home. Laraine was quick to update me on Arwen, and she even sent me a picture of Arwen partway through the day. Great service!”
“Pam was great from beginning to end. This was my first time leaving my puppy Zoey with a stranger. Pam made me feel very comfortable and sent lots of pictures. She assured me Zoey was being loved on and was having a great time. She comminuted with me the whole time and fast response. I will definitely use Pam’s services again when I need a sitter for Zoey!”
“Luciana was absolutely wonderful with Bheem and Bhairav! She was incredibly accommodating, especially since my request was last minute, and took such great care of them throughout the day. She even gave them a little pedicure, took them on walks, and regularly shared pictures and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Both dogs looked super comfortable, happy, and clearly enjoyed their day with her. Highly recommend Luciana ... reliable, caring, and genuinely great with dogs!”
“Bhavani is excellent and goes beyond to give your fur baby the care needed..she takes care as if he's the own child..she plays with him and even more ..she provides timely update and videos .you can trust her completely with your fur baby.”
“Once again, the booking was smooth. I needed dog care for a Saturday in June. Dhruvit responded quickly and was accommodating to the time change. We truly appreciate the great service and care you give to our Charlie. We look forward to the booking in July. Thanks again. Nicole”
About: I know how much pets mean to their families. I am a pet parent too. I understand the anxiety we all feel while boarding our fur babies. When your furry friend/baby stays with me, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving them their favorite treat, or extra cuddles when they’re missing you, I make their comfort my priority. I have hands-on experience providing safe, reliable, and loving care ensuring they feel at home even when their family is away. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments—covering everything from daily feeding and exercise to giving medications and keeping them calm in new environments. Why families trust me: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I keep their routine consistent, so they feel at home. I’m patient and gentle with pets that are shy, or need extra attention. I send updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. Most importantly—I give them the love, play, and companionship they deserve. We have comfortable living space, big fenced back yard for them to run, play fetch or just outdoor supervised play time. Also I am available to take them on walks. Socialization opportunity- We have a very friendly labradoodle, visiting friends have the chance to socialize, play and engage in positive interactions with another well behaved dogs. We have multiple gates, if required they will be separated during meal times. They are allowed to sleep on our couch, in our bedroom as well. You are welcome to bring anything like bedding or their favorite toys, blankets if that will make them more comfortable. Before first visit we will have meet and greet in my backyard, to be sure everyone gets along well. In all they will get lots of love, care, play time and of course lots of cuddles. I am currently working part time with flexible schedule, so pretty much open to work around your drop off and pick up time. I do go out for school picks up and drop off which is quick or to run some errands and appointments but just for couple of hours and I do have cameras on the pups. We have a fenced yard and one very friendly fur baby to keep your baby safe and have fun. I have multiple gates too, which can ne used to separate them if needed
“When I met Nasreen I was so happy because I immediately felt she had a kind spirit. She was ready and waiting when I dropped Sampson off. I got cute photos of him during the day. My fur baby was happy and calm when I picked him up so I could tell he had a great day! Thank you Nasreen.”

We left Cody for a few hours of daycare and had such a positive experience. The sitter had great communication before and during the stay, and even sent a video update which I really appreciated. It’s always reassuring to see your pup having fun! Cody came home happy and completely worn out — the best combo. Highly recommend!
From the meet and greet to the stay next day, Kajal was very warm, friendly and caring towards Romeo. She made us very comfortable to leave our little one with her. Kajal made sure she sent us pictures and videos and kept us upto date with him. I know Romeo was in good and trusted hands and would definitely leave Romeo with her in the future.
We are beyond grateful to James and Teri for looking after our pup Kira on such short notice! 🐾 From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in the best hands. They truly are the most amazing people on the planet so warm, kind, and clearly passionate about dogs. Throughout our time away (we were at a wedding), they sent us so many adorable videos and updates, which completely put our minds at ease and let us enjoy the day knowing Kira was happy and loved. It honestly felt like she was part of their family! Kira got along so well with all their lovely dogs it was like a little doggy vacation for her! 🐶✨ She was showered with love, cuddles, and playtime, and we could tell she had the best time ever. We couldn’t recommend James and Teri more highly. If you’re looking for sitters who will love your dog like their own, don’t hesitate they are absolute gems. Thank you both a million times over! 💕🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Piscataway on Rover is $41.63 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 Piscataway 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 8,669 sitters in Piscataway, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
