“Danielle has been doing a great job with my 5 month old puppy. Bella comes back from daycare relaxed and happy. she takes time to make sure Bella is not eating grass or doing the things young puppies do. I would highly recommend Danielle.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.
About: I’ve always taken care of dogs in life now I’m a veteran training his own service dog and find giving pups care brings me joy. I’ll give any dog a chance! I’m training my pup in no leash pulling and behaving in the crate. I’m teaching him to love his crate when I’m gone for a couple hours! I’m teaching him commands using treat, verbal, hand signal, and leash commands! I work as a delivery driver. I always have free time as I choose when I work, when I leave, my puppy is crate trained and quite while he listened to puppy tv, I’m never really gone for more then 2 hours at a time and can also take the dogs along with me on certain deliveries if your dog is trained or want me to help car train them! I’m currently training my own service pup who’s about 5 months old and he wouldn’t mind new friends! I’m always taking care of my puppy 24/7 and have the free time to do it for others too. I will offer all the training I’m currently utilizing to train up my puppy to become a 24/7 canine service pup if desired! My pup is like my son and I treat all dogs like peoples children. My living room is puppy proof and I always have eyes on so your pup will have a safe clean place to play all day. If I go to work it’s never for more then 2 hours at a time and I usually just put on sleepy puppy tv and they sleep the whole time anyway inside there crates where they are safe alone!
“Brijana was awesome! She accommodated my pup while I was at an event. Great communication with setting pickup and drop off times, and she sent me photos and updates even though it was a short stay.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for some years, and many people have trusted me to taking care of their pets or stay all night to take care of them My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to spend quality time caring for pets throughout the week. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently live in a townhouse, I don't have a fenced yard but inside my house I have a lot of space where your pet can walk freely
About: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a pet of some sort under my care! From dogs, to birds, to fish, to frogs, I’ve really done it all! While I don’t have a furry friend of my own yet in vet school, I would love to take yours in and treat them like my own. I’ve already dedicated my life to the wellbeing of animals—why not include yours in that too! I’m currently a veterinary student so my schedule is a bit dynamic! I’m free 24/7 over the summer, but starting in September my schedule becomes a bit more dynamic. Feel free to reach out and see if our availabilities are a match! I live in a residential area with sidewalks (and a park!) perfect for daily walks, and I even have a fenced-in yard for extra play time. No other furry friends currently—so all of my attention will be on your baby!
“Sarah warmly welcomed Bailey into her home. And he enjoyed meeting her 3 Beagle “cousins”. Sarah sent lots of pictures and texts throughout the day. Bailey come home exhausted and satisfied.”

“It was a great experience to us, our dog had a very nice time even in a short time, she seemed very calm after her stay with them! I can tell she had a very good care! We needed someone to host her in a emergency and Hendry answered us promptly and helped us a lot! We are very grateful for it! I really appreciate that!”
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra love and patience. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, giving meds, and of course plenty of belly rubs and cuddle time. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I really take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and quirks. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits, supporting an older dog who moves at a slower pace, or sticking to a routine to keep your pup comfortable, I always adjust to what your dog needs. I also pay close attention to little details—like favorite toys, treats, or special instructions—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in caring hands. Since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, playtime, or check-ins, and I love having the company of dogs while I work. Whether it’s sticking to a set feeding and potty schedule or adding in some extra cuddle breaks, I’m able to keep your pup’s routine consistent and stress-free. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my care, I make sure they’re in a secure and pet-friendly environment—free of hazards, with plenty of space to relax and play. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s diet, medication, or special routines, so your pup feels right at home. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect as I would my own. I keep doors locked, routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe and loved until you return. Building trust is important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and quick check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Shanee was a wonderful host. My Theo did not want to leave her house by the time I came to pick him up. It was so nice feeling relieved; knowing that my dog's having a good time with a good caring family while i was at work. I highly recommend! Thank you so much, Shanee & the family. I shall be back for sure.”
About: I genuinely believe I was put on this planet to care for animals. From dogs and cats to small mammals and wildlife, I’ve done it all! I have experience with pretty much any creature you can think of and maybe even some you can’t, lol. Seniors and those with special needs will always have a huge place in my heart. I promise to make your companion feel as loved as possible while you are away! Life landed me in a position to work from home/renovate our house so I am home almost all the time. I figured I’m so used to caring for animals anyway, I may as well help you with peace of mind while you’re away and I can make a few bucks doing something I love that I’m genuinely good at. We have a fenced in yard and live in a dog-friendly, super walkable neighborhood. My biggest goal is to have your companion be as comfortable and feel as loved as possible while you’re away, so any details you can share with me to keep them as close as possible to their routine would be amazing!
“Megan and her family were absolutely terrific - my dog Laverne loved it! I don’t think Laverne noticed my leaving when I dropped her off this morning. She was so happy to be there! I wasn’t entirely certain she was ready to go home either. if you were looking for a nice family atmosphere this is the sitter for you!”

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 Runnemede 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.
