“Alessandra was absolutely amazing with Dottie! As a young puppy, I was a little nervous leaving her, but Alessandra made me feel completely at ease from the start. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and messages, and was always very informative about how Dottie was doing throughout her stay. It was clear that Dottie was getting lots of love, attention, and great care, and I really appreciated how communicative Alessandra was the entire time. Knowing Dottie was happy and in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and will definitely be booking with Alessandra again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter! Alessandra was absolutely amazing with Dottie!

“Eduardo and his family were amazing. This was my first time send my dog to a doggy daycare and I was really nervous because she's not around other dogs or people that often. But once I began communicating with Eduardo my nerves were calmed and I knew that I made the right choice. I recieved pictures and was notified of her progress, my dog seemed comfortable didn't seemed stressed as if she was home. Best choice and family for your dog needs. Will be contacting again!!!”
“Thanks for taking care of cheese yesterday. He is a bit of anxious dog, and I appreciate your patience to make him feel comfortable. I look forward to more sessions!”
“Our Pote had a wonderful day staying with Allison and Lucy (new beagle buddy) with plenty of fun and walks! Allison is such a loving and caring person, will definitely ask her help again.”
“Was such a blessing and relief to have you both take care of my baby girl. This was her first experience being babysat by strangers and she absolutely loved it! She came home and rested all evening. Thank you so much for spoiling her.”
“My pup had such a fun day with Grace! Lots of playing and a nice long walk/time outside. Really appreciate the attention and cuddles she gave! Would highly recommend.”
“Jhazmin was so sweet & took the best care of our 13 week old puppy! It was his first time staying away from us & Jhazmin had her house set up so safe & ready for a young puppy. She sent us pictures throughout the day and was very flexible with timing which is always greatly appreciated! She definitely played and stimulated him all day long because he was so sleepy when we brought him home at the end of the day. We will definitely be booking again.”
“We have a last minute trip planned and all my regular dog sitters weren’t available, then my friend recommended Jessica since she took a good care of her cats during her trip to Europe. And I was more than glad to have booked with her — she’s caring and communicative, adapted to Shumai’s personality and needs, also took her out for plenty of walks. We will definitely go back to Jessica for the future boarding needs.”

About: Hello my name is Nicholas and I'm a pet loving, experienced dog walker. I just received my first 5 star rating. I take great pride in providing the best pet care possible for my clients. Besides having pets growing up I was the only child. So I fully understand the value of a pet as a member of the family. I'm a full time pet care provider but more over we're a family owned business. So we provide pet care in McGinley Square and in Society Hill. Essentially we walk, board, pet visit, and doggy daycare all week. Plus on holidays. We have a backyard so the guys get run some laps and get in some much needed quality time. Plus we literally take group photos. Plenty of belly rubs to give out and fresh Poland Spring for the modern active doggo.
“Zhiyuan is very attentive. our dog BMO has a bit of separation anxiety but he was immediately comfortable with Zhiyuan. She is absolutely fantastic and definitely will rebook since BMO loves her!!”
“Noa had a fantastic experience at Chi’s place, meeting furry friends and playing together. And I could tell how happy he was from the many pictures and videos sent as regular updates. Chi was very kind, incredibly attentive and provided excellent communication!! Thank you. Highly recommended!”
“Christina has been excellent with my puppy Billie! Billie loves going to her house for doggy daycare. Christina is very responsive and accommodating. She always sends lots of pictures/videos and updates during my puppy's daycare sessions. Definitely recommend booking with Christina!”
“Gabriela and Maidely took great care of our pup for an evening! They were very quick to respond and sent us photos and updates. Definitely recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Ashley and I am originally from Los Angeles. I grew up with three dogs who taught me how to be patient and loving. I have also spent a good amount of time dog-sitting and boarding different dogs. This has given me the experience I need in order to provide the best service for you and your dog. I am reliable and I would treat your dogs like part of my family. I work from home full time so I can easily fit a dog into my weekly routine. I am always conscious of letting dogs out frequently and taking them on longer walks before/after work. I live in an apartment and I do not have a fenced yard. However, I live close to multiple parks and would take your dog on walks a few times a day. Your dog is allowed on my furniture if they are potty trained. I usually allow dogs to sleep with me if they want to!
“Hayleigh and Cristian make a great dogsitting team! They are both dog lovers, very good with communication and flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. The apartment complex is in a pleasant residential location for taking your dog out for a nice stroll. And best of all, they have a very sweet dog named Hermie that gets along well with other dogs. I will certainly look for them again next time.”
About: Pups Sanctuary is a cozy, home based space George and Veronika created together with one goal: to give every pup a safe, comfortable, and genuinely home like experience while their family is away We bring 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, needs and routines. We work as a team, which means your pup has two people looking out for them and providing plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, cuddles, and supervision throughout their stay We share our home with Brando, our friendly 10-year-old Morkie (Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier mix), who is gentle with other dogs and enjoys having canine visitors around Our home is filled with plants 🌱, cozy couches, soft blankets, sunny spots to lounge, and plenty of comfortable spaces where pups can relax and settle in. We also have separation gates and multiple areas throughout the home so we can give dogs their own space whenever needed Because we work from home, our pups are rarely left alone for long periods. They can enjoy regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, affection, and plenty of opportunities to simply hang out with us and feel like part of the family At Pups Sanctuary, we believe great care starts with understanding each dog as an individual. We’re happy to follow your pup’s normal feeding schedule, walking routine, sleeping preferences, crate routine, medications, and any special instructions that help them feel secure. We also have multiple crates available for pups who are already comfortable using one Whether your dog loves long walks, play sessions, belly rubs, following us from room to room, lounging on the couch, or finding a quiet cozy corner for a nap, we adjust our care to their personality and routine. Drop-Off & Pick-Up Times Keeping our home calm and giving every pup a comfortable experience is very important to us. Boarding drop-offs begin at 9:00 AM. If you need an earlier drop-off, we ask that your pup stay with us the night before We generally do not accept drop-offs or pick-ups after 7:00 PM. We understand travel plans can change, and we may occasionally be able to make an exception. Whenever possible, though, we prefer for your pup to enjoy an extra night with us and be picked up the following morning. This helps us avoid late-night arrivals or departures disrupting pups who are already relaxed and settled in for the evening Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always our priority. We want Pups Sanctuary to feel less like boarding and more like a warm, peaceful home away from home We look forward to welcoming you and your pup to Pups Sanctuary! 🐾🌱 We work from home, allowing us to provide plenty of attention, multiple daily walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout your pet’s stay. We provide a calm, cozy home with safety gates and crates available when needed. We supervise interactions carefully and only host a small number of dogs at once.

Yoon was absolutely wonderful with Emilio! She was kind, attentive, responsible, and very caring throughout the day. She kept me updated and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Emilio was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Yoon to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. We would be very happy to have her take care of Emilio again! ❤️
Vincent watched our doggie while my family and I did a trip to the Statue of Liberty for a few hours. I appreciated him being able to take our last minute booking request. Xena had a great time and Vincent was super communicative and flexible. Highly recommend!
Vera was wonderful with our little Shih Tzu! She took him out for walks and gave him a comfortable place to rest, kept us updated with pictures and videos and was very responsive and communicative throughout the booking process and the actual stay. Cannot recommend her highly enough!
Appreciate Grace for being patient and taking care of my Jubilee. She took the time during our meet and greet to learn more about Jubilee and her personality which I really appreciate since every dog has different needs and energy level. I’ve asked Grace to watch Jubilee twice now for daycare and I will definitely ask her again in the future.
Chi-wing is amazing and took exceptional care of my furbabies! He kept me updated throughout their stay and regularly sent photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. From the moment they arrived, Chi-wing and his wife gave my babies such a warm and loving welcome, making them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Knowing they were in such caring and trustworthy hands allowed me to truly relax while I was away. They were incredibly attentive, receptive, and responsive to my furbabies’ needs, ensuring they received all the love, care, and comfort they deserved. I will definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and reliable place for their furbabies. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my babies. See you again soon! ❤️
We only have nice things to say about Yushan, she was very kind, professional, and caring. We received just the right amount of updates before we started to wonder if Ukah was doing well, with pictures showing how much fun he was having. It was also nice that Yushan had other dog and cats allowing our Ukah to socialize, since he doesn’t have any other dog/cat siblings. Despite our last-minute daycare arrangement, Yushan thoroughly asked for any needs or requests and cared for Ukah as discussed. We are very satisfied with our experience and would be happy to recommend Yushan to others.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Jersey City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Jersey City on Rover is $46.62 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 11,442 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Jersey City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Jersey City commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,442 sitters in Jersey City, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
