About: I have 7 years experience taking care of my own 80 lb Greyhound, Chloe. Unfortunately, we lost her to bone cancer a few years ago. We have 2 kids who absolutely love dogs and we're ready to love a few more pets! We only care for one dog at a time so your pup can get all the attention they deserve! Since we watch one dog at a time, you won't need to worry about your dog being around any other unfamiliar dogs during the stay. We are located 36 minutes from Newark Airport. Your dog will be in the best care while you are away! With someone home 24 hours a day, your dog will never be alone. While I do have a fenced in yard, I still believe walks are important for every dog. Boarding and doggy daycare options are available during the week and throughout the weekend. Medication administration is also available for your dog. My husband and I work opposite schedules. I'm currently working part-time, but my husband is home when I'm at work, so your pup will be cared for around the clock! Boarding and doggy daycare are available daily. I have a fenced in yard for pups to run around. I can also crate your dog at night or when specified. I can care for your pup however you see fit, including following specific feeding schedules or medication schedules.
“Evgenii was great in taking care of our puppy. This was her first time with a sitter and he made it easy for both of us by sharing constant pictures and updates. Highly recommend and Will definitely work with him again. - R”
“Lenny is very accommodating and caring! I am very grateful to have found her for Oreo. Oreo is now 15 yrs old and gets anxious, but Lenny has made her feel safe and comfortable! I highly recommend her and rely on her for Oreo!”
“I can’t express enough how wonderful Sara was with our little Peanut. I had come to grips with the fact that I probably won’t be able to go anywhere this summer because I didn’t want to take my dog somewhere where they would crate her or where she would be with a bunch of other dogs until I found Sara. She was absolutely wonderful and she treated her like one of the family. She only takes one dog or one household of pets at a time which makes me feel even more comfortable. My puppy absolutely adored her and her family and so did I! Thank you Sara for all your did. I know you will see Peanut every time we are away or even just out for the day like we did today.”
“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 :)!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time work-from-home dog lover who provides a safe, loving, and active environment for your pup while you’re away. Because I work from home, your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day — not be left alone for long hours. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor playtime, and my family loves spending time outside on walks, playing, and enjoying fresh air with our furry guests. We also have children who are gentle, caring, and experienced around dogs. Caring for animals has always been a big part of our lives, and I regularly dog sit for family and friends. Recently, we had to say goodbye to our longtime family dog due to age and health issues, which only deepened our appreciation for the love and companionship pets bring into a home. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I’ll treat your pet like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, attention, and belly rubs. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for during their stay. I currently work from home full time so your pet will not be left alone. I have the flexibility for walks during the day and a fully fenced yard for play time outside. I have a large fenced yard that pets always will be able to go in as well as a walking friendly neighborhood. We will follow your lead we do allow pets in bed and on furniture but will also crate if that is how your dog is comfortable.
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
“Kavya did a great job helping me take care of my 3 last minute. I would def use her services again! The dogs loved her and her family and they made them Feel right at home”
“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.”

Barbora is always a delight and the best! I know if my Roxie could speak she would request to go to her everyday! Barbora makes Roxie feel so comfortable and happy, while also giving us peace of mind that Roxie is with someone who is safe and caring about her well being! If you need a dog sitter who you can trust and your dog will be happy with look no further then Barbora!
I would highly recommend Harleny for doggy day care. My pet instantly connected with her, and she made sure he was comfortable throughout his stay. She shared photos and videos of my pet every couple of hours and patiently listened to all of our requests and concerns. I will definitely use her services many more times in the future. Best regards,

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in South Old Bridge on Rover is $52.17 per day (as of August 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 South Old Bridge 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.

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.
