About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. We have had a variety of medium size dogs in my family. Will provide the same care and love to your furbabies. I currently work from home & have a flexible schedule, so I'll have time to play with your baby. I am available for boarding on weekends. I have a open backyard and a friendly dog to keep your furbaby company. I will be able to easily crate your dog if needed.
“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.”
“Pam was really sweet to Jubilee and super accommodating last minute. Very much appreciate Pam as a sitter and all the updates she provides throughout the day. Will definitely use her again!”
“We needed a sitter at the very last minute for our precious golden retriever, Bhavani was happy to accommodate my dog for a day. She made my dog very comfortable at her home, constantly kept in touch with us as well through pictures and video updates. Overall we have a great exprince with Bhavani. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter”
About: I brought my rescue dog, mochi, home when I was 11, and raised him till he was 18! Mochi gave me lots of experience of how to properly care for a senior dog. Ever since he passed away, I’ve been taking care of my friend’s dogs and cats. I always have lots of fun and decided to make it my side hustle:) I am currently working part time so I will be able to give your pets lots of love and attention. My schedule is flexible so I can accommodate to when your pets need to stay at my home. My apartment door, windows, and main building door are always locked. I will make sure your pets get well fed on time and always have clean water ready. I love cuddles and walking!
“My 4 month old puppy had a great time in Laraine’s house! She was careful to consider the temperaments of the dogs she’d have over before recommending he come, and she made notes of all his needs. Her family, including her two dogs, are so sweet. Pepper can be anxious and I was so glad to find an environment where he could be comfortable. Thank you!”
“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.”
About: The second I look at a dog or a cat, I feel my motherly instincts kick in!! I’m currently a per diem nurse and mental health therapist—giving me plenty of time to be home and love my babies. I noticed lot of pet owners via county pages on fb and I just want to be an extra help to my area while making annoying baby noises gawking at the cuteness of any fur baby. I do live with my morkie, Cinnabon who’s a sassy baby boy. And my partner has his cats, Cheesecake and Chandler Bing who are very friendly towards everyone. All my pets are healthy and on anti flea/tic medications! I work per diem as a nurse meaning my shifts are sparse and short- so I’m home 90% of the time. I love spending my free time with both cats and dogs and would love to meet yours! I have a small fenced yard that is regularly mowed and cleaned. I always replenish the water periodically. I keep my home tidy since I’m used to being around many animals at once. For baths, I either use my tub or the laundry sink basin for my own dog. As for cats, I do have the mesh bath bag that prevents them from clawing. I’m very gentle with my own pets!

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 $44.4 per day (as of September 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 8,654 sitters in Piscataway, 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.
