“Eunice was so great with Mocha. He’s a senior so he needs a little more care and attention and Eunice had a great handle on it. He looked like he had such a great time!”
“Vanessa was super helpful. Cooper is a very energetic puppy.He always gets excited when meeting new people or being in a new environment, and apparently he was excited and didn't nap the entire morning, but Vanessa was very patient in taking care of him and kept me informed throughout the day by sending me the updates and photos. Cooper looked happy when he was with Vanessa and when I picked him up. I'll definitely go back to Vanessa for help in the future.”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter and we chose Jessica based on her good reviews. She def lived up to her reputation. She is so sweet and friendly. She asked all the right questions to prepare for my pups visit. Baxter loved her. He came home exhausted. Her knowledge of dogs is awesome. She gave me tips and advice on how to continue training my pup. I received pictures through out his stay.”

We definitely recommend Connor and look forward to booking with him again.”

“Andria is a wonderful pet sitter! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and truly appreciated all the updates she shared during his stay. Her fenced backyard is perfect for dogs to safely explore and enjoy their time. We will absolutely be using her services again—highly recommend!”
“First time with Rover. I was quite nervous. Then we had a greet and meet. She is very nice. The dog seems fine after daycare time, didn't eat too much probably because of being nervous. Good reporting card. May rebook with Vafa again. Thanks”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Summit
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!!
Geo was wonderful to work with. She is caring, reliable, and very flexible with pickup and drop-off arrangements, which was a huge help when I had a family function to attend. Her positive energy and confidence gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her and would gladly hire her again.

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.
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 11,082 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 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.
