“Maisha provides exceptional care for dogs. My dog, Asia, absolutely loves her, and I always feel confident knowing that Asia is in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment when she is with Maisha. Her genuine care, attention, and dedication give me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Maisha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog caregiver.”
“Ian and Clementina were great with Tripp, from taking him to the dog park to letting him join all their errands. I really appreciated the prompt communication and daily photo updates — Tripp was comfortable and rolling over for belly rubs almost instantly with them!”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about our dog’s 6-night stay. They took such amazing care of her, giving her all her medications on time, playing with her, and even working with her on her walking skills. They kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She spent her days happily playing with their sweet dog Luna, and the whole environment was so calm, loving, and relaxing. Most importantly, they gave our dog a true feeling of home: warmth, comfort, and so much love. Nicolle and Ronaldo went above and beyond, they even helped us with picking her up and bringing her back, which made everything so much easier for us. We are incredibly grateful for the way Nicolle and Ronaldo treated her. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay, and we will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommended! 🐾❤️”
“Starry & Gio were very easy to communicate with (very responsive) and kept me updated on everything. They are great caretakers and my dog was very happy being with them. Thank you!”
“Rochelle was absolutely amazing. She cared for our rescue kitty for an entire month and gave him exactly the love, patience, and support he needed to heal and get ready for adoption. Communication was always easy—she was extremely responsive and kept us well informed throughout. She was incredibly patient as we worked through multiple health issues and handled medications with no problem. It's clear she truly cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Rochelle to anyone looking for compassionate, reliable care.”
“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.”
“If you're new to Rover or looking for a new dog sitter, Grace is the person to go to. I had an unexpected trip come up and needed to find someone quickly. There's always some unease leaving your dog with someone you haven't built a rapport with yet - but I'm so glad I found Grace. Her thoughtful questions about Ahri before the booking, and the confidence she gave me with her answers, made it easy to trust her with a 2 week stay. While I was away, she sent daily updates with photos and videos. Whenever anything came up - a light scuffle with another dog, an allergic reaction Ahri was having - she gave detailed updates along with how she handled each situation. Even when I wasn't able to respond right away, she kept the updates coming, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell within the first day that Ahri was comfortable - from the way she was running around with Grace to how relaxed she looked resting at her place. I would recommend Grace 1000% and would absolutely book with her 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.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“It was a great experience boarding our 10 years old Lab with them. Updates and photos were shared promptly. I will definitely book them again and recommend them to others as well.”
“Could not recommend Sanaz enough, she is communicative, charismatic and reasonably flexible about drop off and pick up. We have a big, high energy dog and he came home a tired boy!”
“Chi took very good care of Lucy and made her feel comfortable away from home. He sent lots of pictures and made me feel comfortable leaving Lucy with him. They have a wonderful place to keep the dogs and ensure they are happy and safe. We will certainly have Lucy stay with Chi again”
“Mitchell was great with Monty! He was very friendly, flexible about my schedule, and was a great communicator. He sent adorable photo updates of my dog (who stole all of Marsha’s dog toys lol) too!”
“Jocelyn is so great with my dog. She also goes above and beyond to come pick him up for me and drop him off when I am home. He slept for 2 days after all the play time he got while staying at Jocelyn's house. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. Thanks for everything Jocelyn!”
“Kecia did a great job with our Harper girl over a long weekend! She sent lots of pictures and updates so that we knew Harper was safe and happy. She went out of her way to make our pup comfortable. And - Harper loved the back yard!”
“Minako took such good care of Rex while we traveled out of the country! Always responsive and sent me lots of photos. Rex was happy when we picked him up. Definitely would trust Minako to watch Rex again!”
“Michael was super attentive to banjo! Great at sending update pictures, asking specific questions about his care, even separating him for meal time + accepting a door dash when he ran out of food. Michael really went the extra mile by keeping banjo for an additional night when my flight was delayed till late. Will book again!”
“I absolutely loved knowing my dog was within a happy home and that Gabriela made sure she was comfortable. I really appreciated the picture updates. I like that she as given individual attention verses a boarding facility where she didn’t have personal attention. I felt very comfortable the moment I met her and I plan on using her services in the future. :))))))”
“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.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Jersey City is €60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jersey City
This was my first time using Rover pet boarding services. I was nervous at first because our one year old golden doodle is going through a bad chewing phase. However, our pet boarder extraordinaire, Tiffany, calmed my nerves. She gave us daily updates and took good care of our dog. I will definitely use her services again.
Caren was amazing! She treated my dog Meadow like her own, and Meadow absolutely loves her. She was on time for our meet-and-greet, pickup, and drop-off, and was great with communication throughout. She’s also been incredibly flexible and available, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Caren to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Gabe was great with my pup River! She usually barks at new people, but she picked up on his calm vibe and liked him right away. He was super friendly, quick to respond, sent me photos, and was really accommodating when my flight got delayed and he had to stay with her a little longer. Highly recommend!
Yuan was great with our Willow. She is a great communicator and very easy to get along with. We booked with Yuan a bit last-minute as prior plans fell thru but she was very accommodating, especially as our drop-off was a bit hectic due to a storm hitting Hoboken. We highly suggest and would book with her again!
Our pup had such a great experience with Cyndi and Paul. This was our first time using a rover sitter and from the first meeting they made us feel so comfortable knowing our dog was in great hands. They were incredibly friendly, responsive, and sent tons of pictures which we loved. We look forward to working with them again in the future and would recommend their services to anyone!
Amy was a great sitter for my dog, Duey, when I needed someone kind of last minute! She was very friendly, super flexible, and extremely quick with her responses..and gave frequent updates. Duey can be a handful, but she was super nice, and he warmed up to her pretty quickly. Will definitely use Amy for any sitter needs in the future. Thanks so much!
First off, I just want to say that Pearl is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! This was my first time ever leaving my pup with anyone besides family. She constantly updated me with pictures and videos everyday. You can tell she really cares about animals a lot. My dog was so happy when I came back but also cried when leaving her, that can tell you enough alone. Thank you so much again!!

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.
