“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She took such great care of him and made sure I felt at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures she sent—they always brought a smile to my face. It was clear that my dog was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of love and attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Grace 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.”
“Treated my boy like her own and even tried to help solve a life long problem with the help of his new fur friends. Amazing communication, with frequent updates and super flexible. Thank you and will book again in a heart beat.”
“Rochelle is super reliable and took really good care of my kitties. Gave me updates on them daily basis. Highly recommend her because I would hire her again!”
“Ayush was very attentive and sweet! My dog absolutely loved being with him and was comfortable from the first moment they met. Would definitely rebook and recommend!”
“Dee it’s amazing! They took pictures of Kiba and sent it to us always maintaining the communication with us. She will respond quickly if we had any question or concern. She will take Kiba to walk us and everyday will tell us how he was doing. I definitely recommend Dee 100% and we will definitely be back. Kiba loved it !”
“Yizi took fantastic care of Teddy while we were away! She was extremely communicative both before boarding and during, and sent many updates throughout Teddy’s stay. It was clear that he was very comfortable and well cared for while there. Yizi was willing to go above and beyond to accommodate us, and even let Teddy sleep in bed with her! We will certainly be contacting Yizi again next time we travel!”
“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! 🐾”
“I was amazed how Herbie was always so happy and enjoying his staycation in the pictures and videos 🐶 They took an amazing care of him, he had the best time! Definitely booking again!”
“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! ❤️🐾”
“Lennox and I absolutely adore Christina! She is so sweet and welcoming. Lennox just completed his second stay with her and you can tell he enjoys her care and company! Lennox thinks he is the only pup in the world and Christina does the an excellent job of making him feel that way (lol). I love her attention to detail - her profile book with all the pertinent information, the special care (adding rice to his food to get him to eat) and the many photos and videos during his stay. There have been very few sitters I've found on Rover that have made me feel comfortable the entire stay, Christina is one of them! If you are fortunate enough to book her, do know your pet/fur baby will be well taken care of!”
“Chi & wing treated our dog as it was their own. We got frequent photos and videos that kept us in the loop and made us feel very comfortable with our decision to leave him with them. They even gave him a bath before we picked up. Our dog looked happy throughout his stay. We’d give 6 stars if we could.”
“Sabrina is incredible and took special care of my dog. She keeps in constant contact with photos and videos. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely book with Sabrina again. 10/10 fully recommend her!”
“Michael was a total professional. He took great care of my 3-year-old dog during an extended stay and was consistently responsive with texts and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. He was also very flexible and accommodating with pick-ups and drop-offs. I could tell my dog had a great time relaxing on their couch and felt right at home.”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Yogi came home very happy from his “staycation” with Susan! She was very easy to communicate with and provided my baby with excellent care. She sent me some photos and videos throughout his stay and even sent him home with a few new toys ❤️ Very appreciative of her & I would definitely hire her to watch Yogi again in the future ☺️”
About: I’m a proud dog mom who genuinely enjoys getting to know each pup’s personality, quirks, and routines. I’m especially patient and gentle with puppies and dogs who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. I know that every dog is different, so I take the time to build trust at their pace rather than rushing the process. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or happiest curled up next to someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate both morning and evening walks as well as different times throughout the day. I’m happy to take dogs on longer, leisurely walks so they can get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and time to explore. My schedule is flexible - just reach out and we can discuss a time that works best for you and your pup! Building trust with both you and your pup is my top priority. I want every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I always stay attentive during the walks to make sure your pup can safely enjoy lots of sniffing around and play time outside. For daycare and boarding I only accept one dog at a time and will schedule a meet & greet with my own dog within a couple of days after you reach out!
“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!”
“David and Marcelle (his partner) were fantastic! They understood Dante's quirks and just let him be a dog, which definitely put him at ease. David and Marcelle were able to get Dante's leash reactivity under control, of course, with the help of Nuno their rescue pup. I believe it was all of the cuddles Dante received that definitely made him a more confident dog when he came home. David was highly communicative, with a bit of wit to add, sending me several updates a day with photos. I highly recommend David, and look forward to boarding Dante with him again!”

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.

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 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.
