He has a lovely home with a safe backyard, and his dog is wonderful and playful — Nacho had the best time running around and playing all day! We definitely recommend Connor and look forward to booking with him again.”

“We recently used Manuel’s dog sitting services for our Frenchie, Vinny, and we couldn’t be happier. Knowing Vinny was in Manuel’s capable care gave us such peace of mind to focus on our day. When we returned, Vinny was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. I’m so thankful for Manuel’s help and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, caring dog sitter!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire adult life, so welcoming another pup into my home feels very natural to me. Over the years, I’ve learned that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable reading their body language, helping nervous or shy dogs settle in, and giving more energetic pups the attention, exercise, and play they need. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like I’d want someone to treat my own. I have a dog-friendly home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving your pup plenty of room to safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. I also have my own dog at home, so your pup will be joining an experienced, dog-loving household where caring for dogs is already part of everyday life. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge around the house, follow you everywhere, or do a little bit of everything, my goal is simple: make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. Dogs in my care aren’t left alone for long stretches and can enjoy regular potty breaks, time outside in my large fenced yard, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule and needs. Whether they’re happiest relaxing nearby while I work, getting outside frequently, or looking for a little extra play and attention, they’ll have plenty of companionship and won’t just be waiting all day for someone to come home. I want every dog staying with me to feel like they’re part of the family, not just a guest. I do my best to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course plenty of attention and affection. My home has a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside throughout the day to play, explore, and burn off some energy. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort level, whether they want lots of activity and interaction or simply a comfortable place to relax. Safety is always a priority, especially when introducing dogs to a new environment and to my own dog. I supervise interactions, give dogs the time and space they need to settle in, and make sure their stay is safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible.

About: I may not have a professional certification in animal behavior, but what I do have is a deep love for dogs, years of experience caring for my own dog, and a commitment to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved. I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and dependable. I can implement strict feeding schedules and medications, navigate long walks/hikes, or simply recognize when a dog just needs some quiet companionship. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. You can count on me for regular photo/video updates and the peace of mind that your pet is being treated like family. I am an early riser and have the ability to be very flexible. I had dedicated the past 14 years of my life to caring for my late rescue, and am capable to continue doing so for many more. I live in a two-story, single bedroom condo within an HOA community. I do not have a fenced yard, but I will be able to keep your dog active with many walks and interactions with other dogs. My home is spacious and orderly. I am clean and respectful of other's spaces; I treat it as my own. I am well educated and willing to lend a hand when others are in need of help.

About: I’ve cared for many family pets in the past, mostly smaller dogs. Because of my love for dogs, I enjoy doing research about different or watching videos, so I have a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and care. I’m also very active and would love another reason to get out and run! Hello, my name is Taylor and I’m currently a college student! I’m available pretty much any time of any day, especially in the early afternoon. First, I respect the routine the pet already has and would like to know all details about their current routine. I also find it important to know any injuries, medications, allergies, etc. to make sure they stay as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have loved having them as part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and how important it is to leave your pup with someone you trust. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of affection. I’ll treat your dog like family and do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home every day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pup plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I can offer doggy daycare and boarding any day of the week, including weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to provide regular walks on a leash, supervised outdoor time, and plenty of play and attention. As an experienced dog owner, I understand the importance of following your instructions, maintaining your dog’s routine, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I can also crate your dog if needed and will always respect their individual needs and boundaries.

Anna is incredibly caring and attentive to the dogs in her care. She was very mindful of Duke’s needs and made sure he was comfortable throughout the day. We especially appreciated the frequent updates, pictures, and videos — it was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed Duke was. We would absolutely trust Anna with Duke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and loving sitter.”

Millie did a great job taking care of our puppy, Penny. Both daycare visits, Penny came home happy and tired. Millie was able to accommodate a short notice request, which I always appreciate. She communicated throughout the day so we knew how Penny was doing and she was on time for pick up and drop off. We will definitely request her again in the future and highly recommend!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Summit

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Summit is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $53 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 11,057 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Summit. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Summit 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.

As of October 2026, there are 11,057 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NJ. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,057 sitters in Summit, 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
