“Just lost our dog a couple weeks ago, so it's my first time to look for daycare for Milan. I contacted Jessica and was able to schedule a meet and greet that same day. Milan stayed with them today for the first time, and she seems to have enjoyed herself. She was very quiet in the car and asleep now. Those, to me, are signs of a tired dog! Jessica has been very responsive, accommodating, and flexible. Milan is booked again for next week. Looking forward to it!”
“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!”
“Jhajanny was a huge help and took great care of my pup while i had to work in town during the weekend. He loved her so much that he rushed to get into her house and didn’t look back when I dropped him off the second day. We’ll definitely be back if we are in the area.”
“Connor was great! Very communicative throughout the stay and made us feel completely at ease. 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.”
“Sulay was a pleasure to deal with, and Shadow came home happy and relaxed. He was comfortable with her immediately - and got along great with her sweet dog. We appreciate her caring attentiveness. I would definitely recommend her highly, and will be sure to be a repeat customer!”
“She was very caring and loving towards my doggie. She was able to provide a morning walk and a short afternoon walk which made my doggie very happy . She communicated with me throughout the day and send me pictures ! I also love how she was able to map out the area, time, and length when she took my dog out for a walk !! She is the best !”
About: I am a semi-retired mom who has raised puppies from birth up until their senior years. I have taken puppy obedience classes while volunteering at animal shelters and have learned to adapt to different personalities of animals especially in different and new environments, which we all know can be stressful for some of our pets! I only work one day a week so I have tons of time to look after and take care of your pets! I can walk them during the day and board them any day of the week as long as you need. I have a fenced in yard, 3 dog parks within 5 minutes of our home and tons of fresh tennis balls and chew toys. I have a variety of treats ranging from dental chews to promote good dental health and organic treats with vitamins to help with their joints/make their coats nice and is easy on the stomach. We have tons of extra clean and cozy pet beds, pillows, and stuffed animals. I live in a clean and smoke free environment for your pet during their stay!
About: ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My first dog — Lucy, a Border Collie I had when I was 11 back in Shanghai, China — was my best friend for 16 years. Alongside her, I cared for a rescued stray cat "Noji" and an adopted poodle "Bebe" when I was 13, which taught me patience, responsibility, policing different pets, and how to understand different pet personalities. After moving to the U.S. for school, I brought home my baby Corgi "Brioche" in 2020. She’s now a 5-year-old certified service dog who’s friendly, well-trained, and walked three times a day for at least 30 minutes each time. I also helped train and kept a baby Devon Rex cat for my family in 2025. What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I love fur babies more than anything and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I will be working part time starting summer 2026 in NYC, so my schedule is flexible, I'm available for daily walks, boarding both weekdays and weekends. I live in a 2 bedroom in FiDi close to battery park city. There are no crates and my corgi was never crate-trained. I don't have indoor pet potty so I almost only take my dog out for potty unless the weather is crazy. I have plenty of dog beds and toys.
“We had our first doggy daycare drop-off with Rosario and it was a great experience. Our 4-month-old Dachshund had a wonderful time and came home happy and tired. Rosario was professional, clearly experienced with puppies, and kept us updated throughout the day. Overall, a very positive experience for everyone—we’d definitely feel comfortable booking again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Anna! Duke had an amazing time at her place and absolutely loved spending the day with their dog Theo. 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.”
“Jessica and Butters were wonderful and welcoming for my mini Dachshund, Loki’s first daycare session! 💕 So many pictures showing how much fun he had!! He can’t wait til his next visit. Thank you!!”

“Our daycare visit with Akshay was wonderful. He sent pictures of my dog making himself at home, as well as, playing with the other dogs. Looking forward to our next visit.”
“Alessandra was absolutely amazing with Dottie! As a young puppy, I was a little nervous leaving her, but Alessandra made me feel completely at ease from the start. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and messages, and was always very informative about how Dottie was doing throughout her stay. It was clear that Dottie was getting lots of love, attention, and great care, and I really appreciated how communicative Alessandra was the entire time. Knowing Dottie was happy and in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and will definitely be booking with Alessandra again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter! Alessandra was absolutely amazing with Dottie!

It was Kingston's first time staying with someone other than me, and I couldn't be more grateful that I found Caroline. She made the entire experience stress-free from the very beginning by arranging a meet-and-greet before his stay to ensure Kingston would be comfortable with her and acclimated to the other dogs. Throughout his stay, Caroline was incredibly responsive and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. Kingston will definitely be staying with her again whenever we need daycare or boarding!

Thank you as always Jullien for taking great care of Miso. I love getting the recap at the end of the day with all of your walks, potty breaks and pictures of playing time. Jullien really goes above and beyond with our puppy and she always comes home happy and sleepy 🐶
Connor was amazing with my newly adopted dog, Wendy! I was very nervous leaving her as Wendy is still learning to trust new humans so she is a little anxious in new environments. But Connor understood, gave her space and kept her comfortable during her first doggy day care experience. She had fun socializing with his dog Kygo along with some other dog friends outside in his fully fenced backyard. Connor put me at ease with updates and pictures as well. I will be using Connor again in the future and definitely recommend his services to others!
Thank you Delores for taking such good care of Sebastian and Shamar! I really appreciated you accepting my request on such short notice. You were kind, professional, flexible, And the dogs were comfortable going with you. Which allowed me to relax. I love the pictures you sent. And most importantly, my dogs came home happy and calm. Clearly they were in good hands.. I am so grateful. I’ll definitely be booking with Delores again — She is highly recommend!ed 🐾❤️
My 13 year old Beagle, Milan, loves it there. She comes home exhausted from playing with the younger dogs. I love the videos that Jessica sends at the end of the day. Jessica is very easy to book and work with, very flexible and understanding. Her location is quite convenient for me. Needless to say, I highly recommend.
Luke really is Champ’s new best bud! Ran right to him and just a few minutes later I had video of Champ playing in their gorgeous yard followed by a pic of Champ covering Luke with kisses. His dog Milo is also a great host. We can’t wait to visit Luke again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Union on Rover is $38.85 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 Union 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 11,354 sitters in Union, 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.
