“100% recommending Alin's services! she is a sweetheart, she take care of my baby 4 months old for almost a week, and she was great! Every day they sent me videos, and kept me posted. She take very good care of my baby. I will definitely use her services again ❤️”
“Yusuf was amazing with Tonka! He sent us multiple daily updates and was always quick to communicate with us or to clarify if he had questions. He has a backyard which he allows the dogs to run around in and was looking after multiple dogs, so tonka had the time of his life playing. Above all Yusuf clearly cares about the dogs he is taking care of and Tonka has never been so comfortable staying in a new place. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Yusuf again!”

“We had an amazing experience with Naomi! She took care of our corgi, Lola, for 4 days while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lola was so well cared for. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave to our pup, we’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Tae is an excellent dog sitter! Our pup Loki has separation anxiety, but took to Tae quickly and seemed to settle in very nicely. Tae was great with communications, and sent frequent updates and pictures, so we were completely at ease while we were away. Thank you so much! We and Loki appreciate your care!”
“Chris went above and beyond with taking care of Frida! He sent me so many cute photos and updates so I never worried during my trip that my dog was not only being well taken care of but was having a blast! He also made time to help train her with positive reinforcement.”
About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for and training both dogs and cats, so being around animals just feels natural to me. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ve cared for everything from high energy puppies to anxious dogs and sweet senior pets. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on pet care. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy going on regular walks, so I’m able to provide dogs with consistent exercise, attention, and outdoor time. I take pride in creating a safe, caring, and reliable experience for every pet I look after. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that matches each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day.
“Chloe was very flexible and took care of Luna on short notice. She was very responsive, sent us regular updates and pictures, and made us feel that Luna was in great hands. We'll definitely book with her again!”
“Alyssa is fabulous. She was very quick to respond throughout the booking process and during our pup's stay with her. Our dog was with her a full week and we received photos and short updates every morning. We could tell that our pup was happy and getting walks, playtime, and lots of belly rubs. I appreciated Alyssa's willingness to meet in person briefly, ahead of having her watch our dog. She's great--I hope to rebook with her again!”
“Mariia was great! She watched my 4 yr old Cavapoo for 10 days at her apt and was very responsive and gave me regular updates. My pup was very well taken care of and I’m so grateful!”
“Alexa was great at watching my Senior dog. She was great at communicating with me and sent multiple photos which I loved! Pick up and drop off were super easy and I would love to have her watch my pup again in the future!”
“Heather and her family were so sweet with my Buzz! I’ve had the same dog sitter for years, so I was nervous when I suddenly needed to find someone new. From the start, they were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with him, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. They also have an amazing backyard where Buzz could run around, play, and make himself at home. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Heather and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Our dog, Norman, clearly loved his stay with Nicole! We received lots of updates and he was happy and healthy while we were away. Will definitely be rebooking next time.”
“Stephanie and Cory are truly a gift from heaven! They were so great with communication throughout this entire process. They treated Ginger like their own and she had so much fun with their other dog! I cannot think them enough for how well they treated her.”
About: Passionate and responsible dog caregiver with 8 years of experience in providing loving and attentive care to dogs of all breeds and sizes. As a dedicated pet lover, I ensure that every dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for in my presence. My daily routine might include scheduled walks, feeding times, play sessions, and check-ins with pet owners. I start the morning with a few dog walks, visit pets who need midday care, and have evening check-ins for feeding and companionship. Also, I offer overnight stays for clients who travel, basic training or even dog daycare services. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment. I ensure they have a clean space to rest, plenty of exercise, and mental stimulation through play and training. I follow their feeding schedule, provide fresh water at all times, and offer companionship throughout the day. In my client’s home, I maintain the pet’s routine to reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes scheduled walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care they require. I also provide updates and photos to reassure pet owners that their furry friends are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, safe, and comfortable, whether in my home or theirs!
About: I've had many pets in my life, I've raised 3 dogs and have two cats. I've given basic training to my cats and given senior care to many a dog. I'm in school virtually so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule and am open to traveling for services. Owning cats also allows me to be free in case of emergencies (they are really understanding). My railroad style apartment was decorated with two frisky kittens in mind so my place is pretty tamper proof. It's easy to isolate them from the rest of the space when (or if) introducing guests and easy to navigate for them with adequate space for play/sleep/snacking or whatever their little hearts desire.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Hackensack is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hackensack
Andrew was excellent with my puppy. He is extremely experienced working with dogs and it showed when I brought home my pup. She boarded with Andrew and was very nervous/anxious at first, but she settled in just fine. Now my puppy is not as nervous so he set a good example for me to follow. Andrew sent plenty of videos so I didn't have any concern at all. 10/10 would recommend and book again.
It is so grateful to meet Chulmin. My fur baby, Raon is very shy and spoiled; however, Chulmin takes care of him very very well. My boy looks so happy and comfort to stay. You do not need to worry about it at all. Chulmin keeps updating and sending pics and videos, so you could know how Raon is doing well. Thanks you so much. I will ask again!!!!!
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my little Zara! Sandra went above and beyond in every possible way, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. From daily photos and updates to thoughtful messages throughout the day, Sandra made sure I always knew how Zara was doing. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and attentive hands. What really stood out to me was how genuinely involved Sandra is with the dogs. She doesn’t just watch them—she interacts with them, pays attention to their individual needs, and treats them like her own. She even made sure Zara stayed warm when I completely forgot to pack her a jacket! It’s those little thoughtful gestures that make all the difference. And then there’s sweet Penelope! Zara is my little sassy girl who typically has absolutely no interest in socializing with other dogs, so imagine my surprise when she and Penelope got along so beautifully! I was genuinely amazed, and seeing their little friendship develop was such a treat. What touched me even more was that Sandra reached out after I picked Zara up just to tell me how much she missed her. That alone speaks volumes about the genuine love and connection she builds with the dogs in her care. Sandra is truly a gem, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. She made being away from Zara so much easier, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave my little girl with her again. Thank you, Sandra and Penelope, for loving and taking such wonderful care of my sassy little Zara! ❤️🐾
Kevin was great!! I was definitely nervous about leaving Willow with someone new, but we met up at the dog park beforehand so (we) and our dogs could meet, and make sure they got along. They did, thankfully!! He was great with communication which made me feel better leaving her. She was happy when I picked her up and everything seemed to go well. I’d definitely book with Kevin and Bubbles again!
Catherine is the absolute best! She is super communicative, easy to reach, and I’ve had seamless booking experiences with her. She is also super understanding! I had flight delays that resulted in me needing a later pick up time at the last minute and she was super accommodating. My dog Jax loves her and Cashew. 10/10 recommend Catherine and I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!
Sherrie was wonderful! She’s excellent with routine. She asked all the right questions, followed all instructions, and is a true animal lover. We wanted a mature and responsible caregiver and after our meet & greet we were positive we found The One. After seeing Sherrie with her own sweet dog, we could tell how committed and wonderful she is as a pet owner. Thank you so much to Sherrie and her finance. ❤️ They made our trip worry free and we will book again.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Hackensack is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $78 per night. 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.
There are 14,459 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Hackensack. About 88% of Hackensack sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
