“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.”
“Sanaz was great with my dog Whitney! She was super flexible and communicative while I was away. I had no doubt that my pup was in great care the whole time. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“I genuinely can’t say enough good things about Grace and Taha! Mowgli is a super friendly but VERY energetic one-year-old pup with absolutely no concept of personal space. This was his first time staying with a sitter other than his original trainer, and since I was leaving him for 10 days, I was pretty nervous. I spoke with several sitters before choosing Grace and Taha, and I’m incredibly glad I did. From the start, Grace was responsive and reassuring, even after I warned her that Mowgli can be a handful. Throughout his stay, they treated him like their own—following all my instructions, brushing him regularly, taking him on tons of walks and dog-park trips, and bringing him along with them. They also sent multiple photos, videos, and updates every day. He looked so happy that I genuinely started wondering if he’d want to come home! Around day six or seven, I asked if he’d had any accidents and found out he’d already had three. They hadn’t even felt the need to bother me about them, and when I apologized, they simply said he’s a puppy and it’s no big deal. That says a lot about how patient and experienced they are. An unexpected bonus: Grace is an amazing photographer. The photos and videos she sent were incredible, and she even offered to upload everything to a Drive for me afterward. I’m incredibly grateful I found them. Grace and Taha will absolutely be my first choice whenever I travel going forward, for Mowgli and my other dog as well. I’d recommend them without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of Mowgli!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our puppy with Ayush. From the start, communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease leaving our puppy in his care. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Ayush genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and treated our puppy like part of the family. We especially appreciated our puppy having new friends to play with (Ayush’s dogs). We would absolutely book with Ayush again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy person to board with.”
“Vasiliki is amazing with Kira. My dog is a bit anxious but she loves Vasiliki and looks forward to staying with her all the time! She is super responsive and sends me frequent updates about Kira during her stay. Vasiliki was very accommodating of accepting Kira for a last minute request as well. Kind and responsible, will continue to have Vasiliki take care of Kira moving forward! 🙂”
“Nicolle and Ray are incredible sitters! They kept me updated frequently with how my dog Maggie was doing, even sharing a daily schedule. They truly pampered Maggie, gifting her an adorable sweater, toys, and treats. Their dog, Luna, got along great with Maggie, too. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters!”
“MAISHA IS THE BEST 🥰 Her service is absolutely exceptional, and I recommend her 100% 😉. She looked after my Max for the first time; I had been searching for someone trustworthy for over three years until I found her, and we couldn't have left Max in better hands. Her professionalism and love for animals were evident from the very start—she has two pets of her own, so Max was happy hanging out with his little friends. She was incredibly attentive the whole time, keeping us updated with constant photos and messages, which gave us huge peace of mind while we were away—and that peace of mind was exactly what I was looking for. Her communication and dedication are impeccable. If you’re looking for someone completely trustworthy to care for your pet, don’t hesitate to choose her; I recommend her 100%... We will definitely be using her services again...”
“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.”
“Rochelle took excellent care of our little fur baby and provided constant updates to how she was doing. Rochelle is also very knowledgeable helped provide insight to help us care for our cat. Excellent service and we hope to have her care for our cat again in the future.”
“Devin was very professional and easy to deal with. My dog was in safe hands and had no issues which is a big thing because he suffers from anxiety. I appreciate his flexibility when I was running late. Definitely will book with him in the near future.”
“My dog had a lovely time with Mitchell, who was super communicative and sent update photo every day. Marsha (Mitchell's dog) is sweet and was friendly to my dog when they met!”
“Anky watched Penny while we were away for a long weekend and she was extremely communicative and reliable, sharing lots of pictures and updates! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Shelly-Ann and Tyresse were amazing sitters for Gemini! They took such great care of him, and I felt completely comfortable and safe knowing he was with them. Shelly-Ann was very reliable and always sent me updates, which I really appreciated. She was also super accommodating when I wasn’t feeling well after my trip and needed Gemini to stay an extra day. I could tell Gemini felt really comfortable and at home with them. Even when it was time to leave, he was still looking for Shelly-Ann and seemed like he wanted to go back to her house! That definitely told me he enjoyed his stay. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely book with Shelly-Ann and Tyresse again. They took amazing care of Gemini, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend them!”
“Bridget is an excellent dog sitter. Our pyredoodle is a bundle of separation anxiety, for us and him. Bridget sent frequent updates and pictures showing how well he was doing and allaying our concerns. Highly recommended.”
“Wonderful Pet Sitter! I couldn’t be happier with the care my pet received! The couple was loving, attentive, and responsible. I felt completely comfortable knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. They kept me updated, followed all of my instructions, and treated my pet like her own. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet! ❤️🐾”
“Michael is great! He’s very responsive, flexible, and kind. Our dog absolutely loves him and his wife. He ran into their apartment building after we dropped him off, without even looking back!”
“Zhiyuan was great with Ollie! She was great with communication from the time I reached out to book through the actual sitting. She sent me tons of photos so I could see how happy my cat was with her. Everyone was happy!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup Gomi this week! Vera was very caring and attentive to Gomi’s needs. Communication was fantastic — frequent photos and videos gave us comfort knowing he was in great hands, and she kept us updated on everything from his eating to his bathroom habits. Gomi came home happy and relaxed, and we’d happily consider booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

We had a great experience! They took really good care of our dog and he was very happy and comfortable with them. They also kept us updated throughout the stay by sending lots of photos and videos. We really appreciated how attentive and caring they were. Would definitely recommend them and book again!
Adeanna did an amazing job taking care of Lyric for three days! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Adeanna was great about sending pictures and regular updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated being able to see Lyric’s progress throughout her stay and how comfortable and happy she was. It was clear that Adeanna was attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in making sure Lyric was well taken care of. Lyric came home happy and well cared for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Adeanna, for taking such great care of my girl! I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely book with her again. ❤️🐾
We have a great experience with Yutong and Mengya. They took really good care of our dog and kept us informed of everything. They provided timely updates and sent many pictures throughout. Overall a nice and pleasant experience. Would recommend and book again with them.
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Hannah! She was communicative, caring, and incredibly sweet from start to finish. The daily pics/videos made being away from my pup a bit easier, and I loved seeing their long walks by the water. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such great hands. I’ll definitely use Hannah again! 🐾
Monica and Al took great care of our puppy for four days while we flew out of town for a wedding. They were super communicative giving us updates all throughout the day, when he was eating, going outside, or even just taking a nap and settling in. They made sure he was very comfortable and close to his normal routine. Would definitely rebook with them again in the future!

Amy took very good care of our Winston. She sent us photos every day and we could see he was very happy. She even figured out some of Winston's favorite activities and ensured he got to enjoy them! We will definitely look at trusting Amy to look after Winston again in the future.
Jade is absolutely lovely! We are so glad to have found her on rover. We’ve boarded our pittie/bully rescues twice with her and have been able to enjoy stress-free vacations as a result. Jade sent regular updates about the girls that put us at ease immediately. The second time I dropped off the girls, they almost dragged me to jade’s doorstep, which I take as a super positive sign ofc. Thank you Jade for all your help!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Jersey City on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,113 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.
