“Grace was a wonderful caretaker to Suki! Suki seemed very happy and comfortable with her. Grace was super communicative and I would love for Suki to stay with her again.”
“Anky is one of a kind, she's the best dog walker and sitter I've had the pleasure to work with by far. She has great attention to detail, puntuality, diligence and kindness. Most importantly you can tell immediatly she does love animals and truly enjoys taking care of dogs. The moment I left little Trufa with her I knew she would be in good hands. Couldn't recommend more!!”
“Kylie and Kris are incredible! They provided lots of updates and photos and were very flexible with pickup and drop off times. I had absolutely no worries leaving my dog with them and would recommend them to anyone!”
“Maisha was amazing with Bentley! She kept him for five days while I was on vacation and sent me lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. Bentley is always so excited to see her and the pups, and he always seems to make new friends while he’s in her care, which I love! I’d choose her each and every time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!”
About: Looking for reliability? I provide repeat as well as one-time services. Please reach out and we can discuss your needs! I'm a fully insured dog walker-sitter that also supports non-standard pets. Aside from experience with my own pets, I have over two years experience as a full-time walker-sitter and time with brick and mortar dog daycares. I have experience with dogs of all energy levels as well as dogs with special health needs. Based in Jersey City, my range includes Union City and Hoboken. I have years of experience with dogs as well as other animals such as birds, cats, rodents, and reptiles. I'm open to discuss other pets! My schedule is usually busy during rush hour (10am-2pm), but please don't let that discourage you. I am more than happy to discuss your needs and find a way to work best with our schedules. I live in an apartment. However, I am able to dedicate good time to walks and attention, so no need to worry about any lack of exercise.
“Jhazmin and her family took great care of my Rye! He quickly warmed up to them and they were really good about playing ball with him (his absolute favorite activity!). Rye was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Thank you for being wonderful sitters!”
“Erica was amazing with my girl Sweet Potato! She was super responsive when I needed a sitter in a pinch, and was communicative throughout her week-long boarding, putting me at ease throughout. I will definitely request Erica to take great care of my kid in the future.”
“Jess is a life saver. We recently moved to the city and were so apprehensive about finding someone we could trust with our sweet anxious dog and our sassy cat. Jess made the whole process seamless! From our first communication all the way to drop off, she was nothing but patient, communicative, dependable, and kind. She reassured us at every step, provided us with plenty of updates, asked all the right questions, and most importantly took great care of both our furries at her place. Her attention to details was impressive. It's been such a huge relief to be matched with Jess. We adore her and her family, and will be booking her again soon!”
“Summer is fantastic. Couldn’t have had more confidence that she was going to treat my pup like a member of the family that she is. Very communicative and flexible. My dog loves her”
“Ryan was so kind and attentive to Poppy!! I had issues with my travel and ended up being away longer than I was supposed to and he cooked food for her!”
“John went above and beyond for me and my dog, Andie! Great communication, flexible, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She was so genuinely loved and cared for by John and his family. He even gave her a bath and blow dry. The love is real! I felt completely at ease knowing Andie was in such great hands. I will absolutely be booking with John again. Highest recommendation! ❤️🐾”
“This was the second time Meilin took care of my dog, and as always, she did a great job! She sent me news and photos every day, and I knew he was happy and safe with her. I really trust her and I’m very thankful. I strongly recommend Meilin!”
“Thank you for watching my little buddy during my trip. Updated me with pictures, gave Jesse his medicine, took him for walks and played with him. Couldn't ask for more!”
“John was great - Extremely responsive and kept me updated while my dog Ollie stayed with him. I gave so many instructions because Ollie has separation anxiety and John took them all very well. When I got Ollie back he was so calm and relaxed because John took such good care of him!”
“Kecia was excellent. She is incredibly communicative and our Hazel loved her. We were worried with it being our first time away from Hazel, but she enjoyed her stay with Kecia very much. I’d trust Kecia with my baby any time!”
“Pratik and his wife are so great. Our dog loves them and they are consistently reliable. We feel at ease leaving our dog with them while we are away on trips. We get regular updates on how he’s doing and have never had any issues. We will continue booking them.”
“Gabi helped us with both our fur-babies in a desperate time of need. We were so fortunate to find Gabi and our doggies were happy the whole time! We highly recommend Gabi and will use her again! She kept us update on their daily activities and sent several photos.”
“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.”
“Jingyi and Kewei took care of Nala over the weekend. They are an excellent sitters. They kept me updated and sent me lots of videos and pictures. Nala looks so happy and comfortable with Jingyi, Kewei and Soju. I will definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”

Devin and his partner were amazing with my Gizmo. Very responsive, kind and accommodating. They were willing to adjust the time that I needed when my flights were changed last minute. They are a great Rovers and i will be 100% requesting Gizmo stay with them on my next work trip!! Thank you for being so kind to my little man
Paige was excellent with Batman - she sent daily photos, communicated well, and Batman looks happy and healthy after his stay. She also genuinely loves and understands Dachshunds which was a big plus for us and she was able to accommodate him in her home with minimal steps to protect his back ☺️
Jenna is great! She offered to do a meet and greet before our visit so I knew before our stay even started that Billy was going to be in great hands. She was super flexible and our dog had the best weekend with her. She spoiled Billy with so many walks and fun adventures. We got amazing photos and updates through the weekend and will absolutely be booking again! I highly recommend to all.
Eduardo is just the best! Flexible and accommodating, we never have to worry when Dumpling is with him. It’a gotten to a point where Dumpling doesn’t even care about us as soon as we pull up to Ed’s 😆 truly a safe and loving environment, which is so so important to us. Thank you Eduardo!
Koda loved his weekend stay with Mariapia! He made himself right at home, and Mariapia does such a phenomenal job making sure your dog is comfortable beforehand. I highly recommend - we have worked with Mariapia both for dog walking and weekend overnight stays and will continue to do so!
Saldin is an amazing pet sitter! She kept us updated throughout the entire time, regularly sending photos and videos. Her communication was always clear, thoughtful, and reassuring, which gave us great peace of mind. I would absolutely book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her services!
We can't say enough good things about Stephanie! Bowen stayed with her this weekend and had an amazing time. He got tons of social time and Stephanie kept us in the loop with several check-ins and photos. The best sign of all was when we picked him up, Bowen turned around and went back to Stephanie to say goodbye! It was adorable and told us everything we needed to know about how much he enjoyed his stay. We'll definitely be booking with Stephanie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!
Jiayi (and her partner) took care of my senior dog for two days and a night and were excellent from beginning to end. They were professional and kind, communicated well throughout my dog's stay, and the biggest positive proof at all was the affectionate goodbye my dog gave them--evidence of quick and genuine bonding. I would use Jiayi again in a heartbeat.
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Wai! She is absolutely incredible, and we feel so lucky to have found her. From the very first meet and greet, her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for dogs immediately stood out. During our initial meeting, Wai took extensive notes about Arlo’s routine, preferences, and needs, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident in her care. What impressed us even more was that she remembered every little detail and thoughtfully reconfirmed everything before his stay. Her level of preparation, organization, and attentiveness is truly exceptional! Throughout Arlo’s stay, Wai sent us tons of pictures and videos, which was one of our favorite parts of the entire experience! We loved seeing how happy, comfortable, and loved he was. Her communication was fantastic, and the frequent updates gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What made the experience even more special was Wai’s wonderful family! Her kids and family were absolutely amazing with Arlo, and it was so heartwarming to see how much love and attention they gave him. In every picture and video, Arlo looked like he was having the best time playing, spending time with everyone, and truly being part of the family. It honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation! Wai offers such a rare combination of professionalism, reliability, warmth, and genuine love for animals. She doesn’t just provide a place for your dog to stay; she and her family create a loving, welcoming environment where your dog feels right at home. We are beyond grateful to have found Wai and cannot recommend her highly enough! She has completely exceeded our expectations and set the gold standard for dog sitting. Knowing Arlo is not only in excellent hands but also surrounded by so much love makes all the difference. We would trust her and her wonderful family with him again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Wai, for treating Arlo like one of your own! ❤️🐾
Crystal was an absolute lifesaver. I contacted her last minute—the night before I needed someone to look after my English Bulldog for 3 days and 2 nights, including overnight stays at my house. She replied right away and offered to help without any hesitation. She took excellent care of my senior dog, who has a restricted diet and a sensitive stomach. Crystal followed the feeding schedule carefully and handled everything really well. She also sent lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She’s kind, professional, and clearly great with dogs. My dog already misses her! I would highly recommend Crystal to anyone who needs a reliable and caring dog sitter.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Jersey City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Jersey City is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $85 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.
As of October 2026, there are 14,096 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Jersey City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Jersey City home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
