“This was my first time using Rover and I was so happy with Maisha. She was so great with Charlie and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the time Charlie was with her. She was very attentive and Charlie had a great time staying with her.”
“Booked a last min 5 night stay for my senior golden retriever! I sent an essay of instruction and Starry + Gio did an amazing job taking care of him. It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Rue had such a great time with Grace! Everything went smooth and Rue felt right at home. Got plenty of cute updates while we were away, would absolutely leave her with Grace again!”
“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!”
“Willow had a great stay with Minako. She sent pictures of her playing with other dogs in the dog park. Willow seemed healthy and happy when she came home. Drop off and pick up we're easy.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I always trust Eduardo with my pup, especially during out of town visits where it's so hard to have to leave her but I know she's in good hands. Very happy with his and his family's services!”
“Sabrina took wonderful care of my dog. I had to book the boarding last minite, but Sabrina was very accommodating. She responded to my messages quickly and also kept sending me photos of how my dog was doing which gave me peace of mind. When I was picking him up, Sabrina explained in detail how he ate, slept, walked and behaved during the stay. This proved to me that Sabrina paid a lot of attention to my dog. Most dog sitters in my experience didn't share this much detail. I highly recommend Sabrina!”
“Chandi and her boyfriend were wonderful with Charlie, who can be shy around new people. They kept me up to date with photos, and I could see her relax within the first day. They treated her to a pup cup and lots of love. Will definitely use them again.”
“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.”
About: I'm a extremely nuturing individual and have had the immense pleasure of caring for pets kittens to seniors/puppies to seniors for over 25 years. I'm very hands on and i very meticulously make sure they are both comforted as well as comfortable. You will find no one more skilled in being your pets caregiver. I'm currently not working! So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups/kittens! I'm available for boarding weekdays all day. And weekends after 3. I can take your pups to a dog park and play as I do not have a fenced yard. Also I have a play room for kitty.
“I’m anxious without my dog and Michael made sure both my dog and I felt reassured my dog was living his best life. Michael updated me with photos everyday and I really appreciated that. Also, he was super cooperative with schedules and dog routines. Lastly, I was very impressed by the feedback/report on overall performance of my dog over the two week stay that he gave when I went to pick up my puppy. I knew a 9 month old portipoo could be a ball of problem but Michael handled it like a pro.👍👍👍 I would definitely come back”
“Willow had the best time!!! They really were so communicative, and helpful and sent so many pictures and updates it was a relief for me! Willow has special needs and they really made sure she was comfortable and put at ease and I can’t wait to use them in the future!! Thank you!”
“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“Deibi and Tiffany took wonderful care of my two dogs over a long weekend. I received detailed updates, photos, and videos everyday. Tiffany was super responsive and she’s so kind! My dogs didn’t want to leave!!!”
“Peih was a fantastic sitter for Ohana! I loved receiving all the photo updates; it really put my mind at ease seeing her so happy throughout the stay. Peih made sure she got plenty of exercise with long walks and was incredibly responsible about sticking to our specific treat instructions. I would definitely recommend Peih to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jersey City
We have left our dog Moni with Pratik and his wife on multiple occasions and they are just the best!! Our dog loves going there, they constantly provide updates so we know how things are going, and they are just overall wonderful to work with. I highly recommend and trust any pup in their care. A++
Eduardo is everything you could hope for in a dog sitter. He takes such great care of Mick and always makes sure he’s safe, comfortable, and happy. One of my favorite things is that he sends regular photo updates, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. He’s also incredibly accommodating whether we need a pickup or drop-off, he’s always willing to help. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, and I never have to worry when Mick is with him. We trust Eduardo completely and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.
I highly recommend Jane! She looked after my dog for a few nights and was absolutely wonderful. Right from the start, her communication was fantastic in the lead-up to the stay, which made planning everything incredibly easy and stress-free. Throughout the entire stay, she kept me reassured with plenty of regular updates and photos. It was clear my dog was incredibly well looked after and happy the entire time!
Wai Pou and her family took excellent care of Azula while we were away. She followed all of our instructions closely and sent daily updates and photos, which gave my wife and me real peace of mind during our vacation. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely book with her again!
Orlando & Christina were awesome with Bella! They were super communicative and sent multiple photos daily during Bella's stay. They were also able to accommodate video call with my dog while I was away which was additional peace of mind! Bella usually gets super stressed in new environments, but I could tell she was very well taken care of. When they dropped Bella off and got back in their car, Bella was looking for them! :) Will defintaely use them again!
Laura was absolutely phenomenal! I needed a sitter last minute and was extremely nervous. But after speaking with Laura all my nerves were put at ease. She was attentive and sent updates daily. I was always able to get in contact with her and never had an issue with communication. I will 1000% be becoming again for as long as she is willing to watch Bentley. Bentley came back just as loved and spoiled as when I dropped her off which is always the goal.
Here’s a more polished version that keeps your heartfelt tone: I included it in a reusable writing block so you can easily copy and paste it into your Rover review. This was the first time we left our dog with someone who wasn’t a friend or family member, and I’m so grateful we found Chi-Wing and his partner. We have a disabled senior dog, and they took such incredible care of her. They sent us multiple photos and videos every day, gave her gentle massages, kept her clean and comfortable, and made sure she took all of her medications on time. When she cried at night, they even brought her into their bedroom so she could sleep with them and feel safe. Their kindness, patience, and genuine love for our dog gave us complete peace of mind. For the first time, my husband and I were able to truly enjoy our trip without feeling guilty because we knew our baby was in the best hands. I couldn’t recommend them more highly, especially if you have a senior dog or a pet with special needs.
Leaving your dog with someone is ultimately an act of trust. Caren made that trust easy. She is warm, attentive, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Freud with her and beautiful Theo again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Caren to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog as if they were her own. Thank you, Caren. Freud has already asked when he’s coming back, he woofs you 🐾

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Jersey City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Jersey City on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,134 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.
