About: Hello fellow animal lover i’ve cared for and loved my dog niko for 15 years so I know what it’s like trying to find someone who’ll give the proper love, attention, and exercise to your favorite friend while your away so look no further. I enjoy walking and look forward to creating a safe bond between us while you’re away we’ll enjoy long walks to their favorite locations fun times playing catch if necessary and anything else that you need to ensure comfortability at the end of each walk. If there are any questions or concerns about any safety precautions or specific routes to take please let me know. In closing i hope you choose me if you’ve made it this far and can’t wait to meet you.
“Our boy enjoys staying at Eduardo's house and playing with other bow-wow friends! Eduardo really shows his love and care for our boy, and we are so happy that we made the right choice! Definitely will visit Eduardo again!”
“Thanks so much to Sal and Troy for taking such good care of our guys! They had a very good time and Sal was great about sending us daily pics so we could see their sweet faces.”
“I’m so glad we found Devin. He took such great care of our sweet but anxious pup for a week. He was very responsive and sent lots of photos and videos. He clearly loves dogs and went above and beyond!”
“Thank you Chi for taking such great care of our dog. He’s happy when he’s with you. We appreciate the updates, photos and videos you send. We happily recommend you. The ability to park easily for a quick drop off in JC is a plus. Extremely convenient. Thank you.”
“This was our second time booking with Grace and definitely won’t be the last! She was very attentive and did a great job communicating with us on a daily basis and sending pictures and videos every day! She took great care of our puppy and made us feel very comfortable!”
“Kat has been really attentive to our boy’s needs. He got so much love and exercise throughout the day that he felt so comfortable and happy at Kat’s place 💯”
“If I could give Veronika 10 stars … I would! From the very beginning her expertise was on full display as she requested a detailed summary of questions to know exactly how to properly care for my dog, Marley. She was more than flexible, understanding, and willing to accommodate me for unforeseen circumstances (my dog ate chocolate and needed to see a vet prior to drop off time). Veronika communicated each day and provided pictures/videos that really made me feel at ease knowing that Marley was okay. She even provided Amazon links and recommended several types of harnesses and leashes for my dog to utilize since his harness is too big. I highly recommend Veronika to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Wai and her family were so caring, responsive, and kind. They sent so many cute photos and took him on many adventures around the neighborhood. I highly recommend her family as sitters for your pet and wouldn’t think twice about booking again!”
“Paulette is always fantastic with Nico! He needs extra care as a senior dog and Paulette is thoughtful and caring - I'm always coming back to a very happy baby :)”
“Jessica has been watching my very senior dog for few years now, now I moved really far from her house, she traveled to pick up and drop off and took a great care for my dog. She is the best sitter!!!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our dog. She was very sweet and professional, excellent with communication and sending updates/cute pics. He looked very happy there and came home exhausted - huge win! We would love to book her again in the future.”
“Hassandra was a DREAM!! I have two dogs - a big one and a little one. And she took such great care of them both. I got regular communications and cute pics of them. She was incredibly responsive (which can be rare) which made me know I chose the PERFECT sitter for my boys while I was away on work. I will 10000% be rebooking her. Plus when I picked them up, I got to see how much they had grown to love her ❤️ She is the BEST - def book her with NO hesitation!!!!”
“Vince and Jen did the best job as always with our two shibas! I know they are so well taken care of with them, and they're always so excited to stay with them. We will always be repeat clients!”
“Teddy had a wonderful stay with Chan as usual! Teddy was so happy to see Chan and as an anxious pet mom / pet pair it was lovely to see Teddy has found a friend in Chan and to know that she enjoys her time at Chan’s. Teddy needs a lot of TLC as she’s a bit older and has a slipped disc, and Chan is great with her and sends me lots of updates also noting Teddy’s condition. Amazing experience as always and would definitely recommend!”
“Angela (and her partner Dan) took great care of Truffle. They sent meticulous updates with photos throughout the day. Truffle got to spend plenty of time outside and was very comfortable in their home.”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Jersey City is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jersey City
Eric and Xintong are great! They confidently took on the commitment to board our dog for a full month while we were out of the country and took excellent care of her. For example, our pup is not big on having her teeth brushed, but they managed to do it and even recommended a better brush to us. Also, they sent regular updates with photos that were very reassuring. When we picked our dog up, we could tell she had been very happy. We highly recommend Eric and Xintong and will gladly leave our dog with them again.
We can’t thank Chi-Wing enough for how wonderful he has been to our family. When our late flight home got canceled, he was so accommodating and was willing to care for our dog Hudson until we could get a flight home the next day. Hudson always has the BEST time staying there and we know she always feels right at home.
Monica and her family watched our dog Frankie while we were out of town for a week. Thanks to their frequent updates, we felt confident Frankie was being very well cared for, and her feeding/schedule instructions were precisely followed. We wouldn't hesitate to have Frankie stay with Monica again!
Veronika did an amazing job caring for our dog and making sure he was safe. She sent plenty of photos and updates to make us feel comfortable. We could tell she knew what she was doing and has been the best sitter we have found in the Jersey city area yet. Her small dog was also really well behaved and friendly so it was a bonus for our dog to have a friend while we were away. Thank you so much!
Jonathan and his wife were absolutely wonderful with Sana! We came to them after a last-minute cancellation, and I’m so grateful we found them. From the moment Sana arrived, they made her feel comfortable and at home in their cozy, welcoming space. They were incredibly attentive to Sana’s individual needs and so accommodating throughout her stay. She can experience some separation anxiety, which sometimes affects her eating, and they were exceptionally patient, persistent, and comforting with her until she settled into a routine. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was being cared for with that level of warmth and understanding. They also made her stay really fun, with walks, outings, playtime, and plenty of attention. I loved seeing the photos and updates of her enjoying herself and getting comfortable with Coco and Maya too. It was clear she was genuinely happy and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially for Sana’s first longer stay with a sitter. Jonathan and his family created exactly the kind of home environment I was hoping for, and I would absolutely trust them with Sana again. Highly recommend!
We’ve used Lucas a couple of times now for overnight boarding and most recently for a long stay of 10 nights. Archie comes back happy, well cared for, and tired. He loves being boarded with other dogs too. Lucas is reasonably flexible with pick up and drop offs which is super helpful! He always sends updates when we ask. It can be hard to find someone that will take on a big dog in Hoboken and were very glad we found Lucas.
When last minute plans fell through, Kira went above and beyond the call of duty to take care of Argo for an extended period. I had peace of mind, knowing that she was taking excellent care of my child, and managing the environment specifically for his needs. Very grateful to Kira and her wonderful family for taking great care of Argo.
Shirley took good care of our pup Rooster and would definitely book with her again! She was able to accommodate a meet & greet on short notice and asked great questions to get to know our pup. During the stay, she provided updates and pictures which was great. She is kind and easy to work with. Most of all you can tell she really loves animals and takes the time understand & respect their personalities. Thank you so much, Shirley!
Amanda was amazing with my doggie Simba! She was able to accommodate a last minute request which we appreciate so much! Simba had lots of cuddles, fun, and walks! Amanda provided many updates and adorable pictures, providing peace of mind. We will definitely be re-booking in the future!
My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Jersey City on Rover is $50 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 14,168 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Jersey City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Jersey City sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Jersey City landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Jersey City home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Jersey City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Jersey City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
