“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.”
“Alisa and her pup Latte are so great. Alisa is very professional and accommodating. My pup went for walks and car rides and came home so happy, we will definitely be using Alisa as our new permanent sitter”
“Ritu and Nischaya are just what we were looking for in dogsitters. They clearly love dogs and are very kind to our dog, who looks forward to visiting them and playing with their sweet labrador. Nischaya has great training tips too.”
“It was great experience with Jill so far. My puppy been with her 2 times and with couple other dogs she takes care of. She has got a positive and patient attitude. Her house is very clean, she doesn’t have a yard but she balances it with multiple walks for the dogs. She is very responsive and accommodating as well. I have decided to send my puppy couple times every week to her home so he can socialize. Since Jill doesn’t have too many pets at the same time, it’s good for my puppy and all pets get more personal attention. I highly recommend her for your pet 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!”
“My wife and I are first time pet owners together and it was extremely hard to leave our Djinn behind in the care of stranger. But as God would have it, he supplied us Zuleyka! She’s been our blessing. She’s taken very good care of our dog and made him very comfortable; calming his separation anxieties. She’s made him feel right at home and has also calmed our fears and worries as well. She’s given us timely updates and photo’s and even offered us video chats. She’s also provided us with special accommodations for our Djinn; which we were very pleased with. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Sincerely, Kelvin & Delores Crawley”
“Allison did a great job caring for my puppy Nacho! She sent me videos and pictures of his day and let Nacho play outside in a fenced area with her friendly two dogs. He had a great time and was so sleepy when he came home 🤗”
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!
“Tania was great with Sonic! He was just neutered a few days prior and she took good care of him. We were confident he was in good hands. Tania kept us updated with pictures and messaged us throughout the stay letting us know how Sonic was doing. She was timely and very responsive!”
About: I am an experienced dog owner of over 20 years (cats over 10 years). No issue with breed size as I have owned dogs ranging from Bichon size to Rottweilers! Your pets will feel loved and comfortable here in our home. I work from home full time so will have more than enough time to give your pet all of the attention they crave! Walks, play, and feeding times can all be scheduled to your pet's needs. My yard is fully fenced and large enough for fun playtime. My home is large and has wide space for indoor play. Your pet will have my full attention all day as I work from home!
“I had such a good feeling about Desi and Mimi, and I was not disappointed at all! They took amazing care of my little boy and made sure he had the best time playing and socializing with the other pups. They sent me photos while he was there, which made me so happy and gave me so much peace of mind. Their communication was great, and I really appreciated how they listened to all of my concerns. When I picked him up, he actually went back to say goodbye, which was so funny because he has never done that with anyone before! That alone told me he had an amazing time. I’ll definitely be bringing him back, not just when I need a sitter, but just so he can have a fun day. I highly recommend them! Desi and Mimi, thank you so much for treating my pup like your own!”
“Danielle is awesome, she’s responsible and aware of our needs. A truly reliable dog sitter with a beautiful home that is well kept and free of any hazards. We will use her again for sure!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life in my family. My experience is in medium sized breeds (French bulldogs, English bulldogs, and boxers) but can watch smaller dogs as well. I’m very attentive, organized and can provide very good throughout the day when I work from home. I’ve had personal pets outside dogs as well and have a lot of experience going to Westwood vet for any emergencies. Comfort and care are my priorities. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I’m remote every weekday and usually have large pockets or time to devote to care as I’m usually ahead of work. For day care I can provide my personal bedroom for rest on my bed and my living room where I work. Comfort on the couch overlooking a busy and happening road through a large bay window. Long walks throughout the neighborhood which is very safe.

“Andrew is an amazing pet sitter and would highly recommend him! He is very committed, communicative, respectful, responsible, and very knowledgeable. He sent us videos and photos throughout the day which made us feel at ease. He also has an excellent setting in his home - play and sleeping areas that allow any dog to feel very comfortable. He is also very careful when introducing other dogs. He takes his time in getting to know each dog to make sure he is providing what the dog needs to make the stay or day care enjoyable and smooth. Highly recommend. Will be taking Bless again! Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, boarding, giving lots of attention, and keeping up with each pet’s usual routine. I know every dog has a different personality, so I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and I’m available seven days a week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home or in their owner’s home. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and give pets plenty of patience, affection, and supervision.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was young, helping friends and family with walks, feeding, and playtime. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I have experience with puppies, active dogs, and senior pets who need a little extra care. Every furry friend gets the same love and attention I give my own! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits on weekday afternoons (after 2pm) and Saturdays. When I care for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and give your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

Courtney was incredible with my boys and made being away from them so much easier. She kept me updated, gave them so much attention and care, and I never once had to worry about whether they were okay. When your pets are basically your children, having someone you trust completely is everything. I can’t say enough good things about her and will absolutely be having her take care of Dill, Kiké, and JB again in the future :)
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.
Tyler has cared for my dog twice, and both experiences were excellent. He was always waiting outside for pickup and drop-off, which made the transition easy and stress-free. My dog went right to him both times and seemed genuinely happy to see him, which gave me a lot of confidence in his care. On our second visit, I accidentally clipped her leash to her name tag ring instead of her collar. She slipped free and ran after another dog across the street. Thankfully, Tyler reacted immediately, ran after her, and safely secured her. It was a scary moment, and I was incredibly grateful for how quickly and calmly he handled it. The fact that my dog was excited to return for a second stay spoke volumes. I'm thankful she was in such caring and capable hands and would happily recommend Tyler to other pet parents.
Great experience! They took really good care of Quinn and made sure she was happy and comfortable the whole time. I appreciated all the updates and photos - it made me feel at ease while I was at work. Quinn got nice walks and plenty of attention, and it was clear she was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of her!
Lisa and her husband Joe are so welcoming. We left our meet and greet feeling so at ease and comfortable with our decision to leave our 6 month old puppy Orzo for a full day. They’re very thorough in assessing and analyzing our pup’s needs. They were very interactive from the moment we walked through the door. She is very responsive upon reaching out and has an open line of communication throughout the time you’re fur baby is in their care. Orzo seemed so happy and was treated with so much love and affection that it warmed our hearts. We are so excited and comfortable to have found someone that we can trust for future stays. Thank you, Lisa and Joe! I’m sure wiggle butt Orzo will be excited to see you both again very soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Waldwick is $37 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $52 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 of October 2026, there are 10,962 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Waldwick. 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 Waldwick 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 10,962 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 .
