“Melissa has been everything we could hope for - and more - in a pet sitter. She is kind, professional, loving, and patient with our young puppy. We were initially nervous to leave Ruby for the first time, but Melissa’s home is a safe, fun, and relaxing haven filled with just the right balance of play and stimulation. She keeps us updated often, and Ruby always comes home happy and excited to return the next day. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!”

About: Seven years fostering dogs for three rescue organizations and one year as a Senior Yard Manager at a dog daycare, supervising care, behavior, and safety. have seven years of experience fostering dogs for three different rescue organizations and one year of experience as a Senior Yard Manager at a dog daycare, supervising dog groups, ensuring safety, and supporting daily operations. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise through long neighborhood walks, active playtime, and lots of attention. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, including the bed and couch, and they can sleep in my bed or in a crate based on your preferences. I also enjoy making stuffed Kongs as an evening treat or enrichment activity if you'd like your dog to have one.

“Last week we tried half day care at Mike’s home for the first time. My 1 year old puppy had a good time with him, his poms and his girlfriend’s dog. He has a nice fenced backyard where dogs can run and play. He remembered the notes I said about my puppy and made sure to follow it. He was also thoughtful and cleaned my puppy’s paws when they got dirty from the yard playing, he even combed him without me telling it. My puppy’s fur was soft and he smelled nice when I picked him up. Mike’s rates are reasonable too. My puppy loves other dogs and people so I will be sending him again to Mike’s home. I would highly recommend Mike for anyone’s pets care needs!”

“I've had some bad experiences with sitters in the past where I can tell from my dog's face that he was nervous and anxious during the stay. When I picked him up after an all day stay at Deborah's house, however, he was relaxed and looked genuinely happy. Deborh was also very responsive to our last minute urgent request. Thank you so much!”

“Hope is a saint!!! She was kind enough to give my dogs a chance for doggy day care at her home. She was gracious enough to get to know them to make sure all parties were comfortable. I really appreciate her approach and attentiveness with myself any my pups. She really put my soul at ease with her communication and photos that made me smile. If I could I would have a repeat stay for my dogs but of course she was booked and busy. You will not have to worry at all.”

About: What sets us apart is how much we genuinely love dogs. We are dog parents ourselves, so we understand how much trust it takes — and how worrying it can feel — to leave your dog in someone else’s care. For us, dog sitting is more than just feeding and walking. We love spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Because we know how much owners miss and worry about their dogs, we always try to send photo updates in the morning and evening so you can see how your pup is doing and feel at ease. We have hands-on experience caring for different breeds, including Samoyeds, Weimaraners, Shetland Sheepdogs, and Golden Retrievers. Since we have friendly and social dogs of our own, we carefully supervise all interactions and focus on creating a safe and positive environment for every dog. We follow each dog’s routine closely and give them the attention, care, and love they deserve. When dogs are in my care, I keep a close eye on them and make sure they are not left alone. I give them plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and rest based on their individual needs. My husband and I both truly love dogs, and our own dogs are also very social and enjoy having other dogs around. Caring for dogs is the main reason I became a Rover sitter, and we treat every dog with genuine care and attention, just as we would want someone to care for our own dogs. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important safety and trust are, and I also know how much pet parents can worry while they are away. That’s why I make sure to share regular updates on how their dog is doing throughout the stay. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for like a member of our family.

About: Hello! I’ve been caring for dogs since my own pup was just 8 weeks old. From fun off-leash adventures to cozy times at home, I’ve helped my dog grow into a friendly, well-socialized little buddy. I also enjoy walking g and looking after my brother’s dogs (medium and larger size). I always make sure each pet gets the attention they deserve and it makes me happy to see them happy and cared for. Thank you for reading this and I can’t wait to help you too. I’m currently taking a break from my professional career to spend some more time at home with both my children and pup. My kids are teens and at school during the day so I have time for extra dog walks and care. I have a fully fenced in large backyard and my Cockapoo pup is super friendly around both people and other dogs. I’d want to meet and greet before caring for your pup to ensure we are all comfortable and I understand how you’d like me to care for your pet in your home or around your neighborhood.

“Eric was awesome! I needed someone to watch Murph for the day and none of my regulars were available. Eric was my last chance and lucky for us he was available. But the real story here is that it was a great experience. Eric was extremely nice, easygoing and both him and his wife were very personable. I felt like I had known him all along and he that had watched Murphy before. Their dog, Bacon, is as gentle as can be and got along well with Murphy. I definitely will look to use Eric's services in the future.”

“I cannot thank Karla enough for providing an amazing care to our dog, Miley. I had to book her as last min booking while we were traveling and we couldn’t leave our dog for long hours at the hotel. Karla sent us numerous photos throughout the day when she was taking care of Miley from 9am-5pm. She was informative on how our dog was settling in, how she was spending time, or taking treats etc. She made our travel stress free because we knew Miley was getting a gray care. I would highly recommend her to any dog owners 🙌🏻👏🏻❤️”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for being patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in each dog’s comfort and happiness. Whether it’s a high‑energy puppy who needs structure or a senior dog who needs gentle support, I adapt my care to match exactly what your pet needs. I primarily work from home so I’ll have lots of time with your pup! I follow feeding and walking schedules as instructed. Mainly walks in the morning, afternoon, and at night. I have a large fenced in yard and a neighborhood that is great for walks. The home is also spacious to give your pup lots of room to eat, sleep, and play!

About: Hi, I’m Ev :) I enjoy collecting vinyls, hiking, and cooking. I have experience in dog and cat sitting. I consistently dog-sit a beautiful Beagle named Felix, whom I love and treat as if he were my dog. He is turning 11 in a few weeks, and I have been dog-sitting him since he was 3 years old. There are a few photos in my profile with Felix. I celebrate his birthday every year and spend some holidays with him as I have developed a close bond with him. I have more time now, and I would love to expand my services to more people around northern New Jersey and care for more animals. I have my own 4-legged baby at home named Mango; he is also pictured in my profile, the small little blond dog. He is a Peruvian Inca Orchid mix rescue from Peru; he's really sweet, trained, and is friendly with other animals; he just likes to sniff them first :) Under my care, your dog will be given plenty of attention and love. I work from home, so I can be with your pet all day. I also have a fenced-in yard, so your dog can have as many potty breaks as needed or to simply enjoy the outdoors. I would walk your pet twice a day, morning and night, for a 20 minute walk minimum; if the weather is nice, then it extends to 30 minutes each time sometimes even an hour. They will be let out multiple times a day for potty breaks. I provide a playful environment for any dog; I have plenty of toys and treats for them. I also have a fenced-in large yard so that they have plenty of space to run around. I am also very cautious and observant when having a dog at the house or walking them; they will be supervised at all times.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Upper Saddle River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Upper Saddle River is $68 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $80 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 10,888 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Upper Saddle River. 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 Upper Saddle River 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 10,888 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 10,888 sitters in Upper Saddle River, 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.
