“Sal & Troy kept in touch regularly, while I was "visiting the city". I was quite anxious after driving up from Virginia and dropping my pup off with people we hadn't met. Sal & Troy were reassuring, sent pics and let me know that Maia was settling in. I could have my play date, while Maia had hers!”
“Ahmed and Michael took excellent care of Dolly and sent some great photos during her stay. She must have gotten a lot of activity because she was completely zapped when she got back home!”
“Chi-Wing was an absolutely amazing sitter for our dogs! He cared for them for three days and exceeded all of our expectations. From the start, Chi-Wing was incredibly communicative and friendly, making us feel at ease. His home was spotless, and the private backyard was a fantastic space for our pups to play with other dogs. He followed our feeding instructions to the letter and sent us lots of incredible videos and pictures throughout their stay. It was so reassuring to see our dogs playing, eating, and even doing their business—all while looking happy and well cared for. This was such a great experience, and we can’t wait for the next long weekend knowing our pups will be safe and loved in Chi-Wing’s hands. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
“This is second time bean bean stays with Sean and I can’t be happier. Sean is very accommodating when I had to change the length of stay closer to my trip. Bean bean came back very happy and calm. I would definitely book with Sean again next time I’m traveling :)”
“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!!!!”
“Very experienced and professional. Took good care of our pup and was timely with communication. Would have our dog stay with Eduardo again. Thank you ?”
“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!”
“Trish was great and super communicative and responsive. She sent updates and pictures. And even helped arrange pickup-dropoff and was flexible with timing so it could work out for both of us. She also had two dog friends to keep your dog company. Will definitely consider her again for future stays!”
“Romeo had a great time with Victoria and Luna. It’s very hard for me to leave my son in the care of someone else but everything went well, which I am very happy with!”
“Katy couldn't have taken better care of our cat, Tibby. We got so many pictures and thoughtful updates on her health and her mood. She checked on the cadence of info that we were getting before and during the stay to make sure we were getting the updates we wanted. She was flexible when it came to pickup and drop-off and made those parts a breeze. She also keeps a super clean, nice apartment that we felt super comfortable leaving Tibby in. We'll book with her again for sure.”
“We feel super fortunate to have found Paulette to watch our pup after some terrible experiences with other sitters. She is super kind, responsible and communicative. She got along great with our dog and sent daily photos and updates. She also was comfortable administering our dog’s eye meds and giving her supplements. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a dog sitter and will definitely try to rebook her the next time we go out of town.”
“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.”
About: Hi! My name is Tori and I just graduated from Boston University! I grew up with dogs, hamsters, birds, frogs, fish, and cats. I absolutely love and missed taking care of them so much while I was away. I’d be so happy to take care of your pets too! I can take them on walks, feed them, check in on them, and keep them company whenever you need! My dog Nikki loves when I hold her and sing to her, so maybe yours will too! Not to brag, but I also give the best belly rubs! I am currently working a part-time job, so I can provide excellent care for your pets as soon as I am available! I work mostly in the early mornings. I am completely open to your care needs. I can take your pets on walks, feed them, keep them active and entertained, and most importantly, make sure they feel loved in your absence!
“Absolutely amazing sitter! ❤️ I’m so grateful I found her! My dog Pebbles stayed with her overnight, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was safe and being well cared for. When I picked her up, Pebbles was happy, safe, and perfectly fine. Communication was amazing throughout the stay. She sent me photos and updates, let me know that Pebbles ate, took her out to pee, and even told me when she had a little accident which she was so understanding and reassuring about. She is genuinely such a nice, kind, and caring person. From the moment I met her, I could tell she truly cares about the dogs she watches and is very understanding and easy to communicate with. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I’m actually already using her again. Pebbles will be staying with her for a whole week while we’re on vacation, since unfortunately we couldn’t bring her with us. That says everything about how comfortable and confident I feel leaving my baby in her care. 🥰🐶❤️ Highly recommend Claudia!”
“Billy had another amazing weekend with Adeel and his family! They took him on so many adventures he spent the entire weekend outside and were so flexible and accommodating to my schedule.”
“Ellana was a life savor! She was able to take Mae on short notice and provided her a dog vacation. I had not used rover before and was nervous to leave my dog with someone I did not have time to meet in person prior. Luckily Ellana was able to FaceTime and her responsive and transparent communication made me feel comfortable. She then sent me photos everyday. I will be using her again.”
“Allie was great with my dog Lola who is doesn't get along with other dogs. She was a fast responder when asked about my dog when I was away which I loved. Definitely would go to her again”
“Ariel is an extremely thoughtful and communicative dogsitter. From the start she asked thoughtful questions about Ollie and his typical habits. She took great care of him and sent updates along the way. Ollie was sad to part from her after just one day. He's looking forward to seeing her again soon!”
“Clarissa was amazing! She and her sweet dog Miro were the best hosts to my dachshund for a week. She checked in regularly and was super accommodating to my schedule. My dog who has separation anxiety was immediately comfortable around her and didn’t even get upset when we left. Thanks to Clarissa I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my pup was in good hands.”

Paige was a phenomenal boarder for our somewhat introverted French Bulldog, Luna. Luna came back well rested & clean, and based on the pictures, it seemed like she had a blast! Also, Paige was kind enough to accommodate a longer duration & an earlier pickup time - thank you!
Manuel was AMAZING!! I truly feel like I made the perfect choice leaving my baby girl with him. 🐶❤️ He was incredibly caring, committed, and communicative from start to finish, and shared tons of pictures and updates throughout her stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was loved and so well taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would 100% trust Manny with her again without hesitation. Seriously, if you’re considering him, DO IT! 🐾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a great experience with Ruth! She took excellent care of Valentino and kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Valentino was very happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate how attentive, responsible, and loving she was with him. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly have her take care of Valentino again!
Jane was absolutely wonderful with Zissou while we were away for two weeks. She took such great care of him and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable and well cared for. She was incredibly attentive to his dietary needs, even cooking him fresh meals, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and extra walks. We really appreciated the consistent updates and knowing he was in such caring, capable hands while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind during a long trip. We would absolutely trust Jane with Zissou again and highly recommend her!
Adeanna was wonderful with my little pup. Extremely communicative and provided pictures and information while we were away. And my pup even ATE, which she doesnt usually do so easily when we are away. We will use her again! Thank you for taking such good care of our precious pup, Adeanna!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my second time having my dog stay with her, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! She is so friendly, caring, and genuinely takes great care of my dog. I felt completely comfortable leaving her with her for the entire week while we were on vacation. She constantly kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was happy, safe, and being well taken care of. You can truly tell that she loves animals and treats them like her own. I’m so grateful we found her, and I will definitely continue using her in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to take care of their fur baby! Claudia is the best! ❤️🐾
Keirstin was great and provided constant updates about our dog, which was really comforting while traveling abroad. She was very accommodating to drop off and pick up times as well as any other notes we gave her about taking care of our dog. We highly recommend her to anybody who wants peace of mind when traveling without their pet.
Kona had such a great stay with Alli and her Beagle Lucy! Alli was amazing from start to finish and sent so many pictures and video updates throughout the three days. She was so sweet with Kona, and it was clear how much Alli genuinely cared for her and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her communication was perfect and she is truly everything you could want in a sitter. I felt completely at ease knowing Kona was in such good hands. We will definitely be using Alli again!
Devin was great to work with throughout the whole process of Brodie’s stay. He allowed us to do a meet and greet before the booking, showed me his whole process on how he would care for Brodie, and made sure I was okay with it before we proceeded. During Brodie’s stay he was very consistent with sending updates on walks and during relaxation time as well. I’d highly recommend for anyone’s dogs or cats to stay with Devin!

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.
