“The only reason Mike and Ahmed wouldn't be used is because they're unavailable on the dates we request. They are AMAZING with dogs and have never complained, not once. We've used them 3 maybe 4 times already. We always come back. You will too”
“Always a great weekend with Sabrina watching Magnolia. I know she’s in great hands and it’s a stress free weekend (especially when I don’t have much service).”
“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!”
“Jessica is awesome. We left our 8mo puppy (who has some pretty bad separation anxiety) with her for two nights, and we were very happy to see our boy settled right in with her and her family. She sent video updates and pictures to keep us updated, and was very responsive. Our pup came home happy and healthy, and we'll definitely be asking Jessica to watch him again.”
“This is the second time we leave our cat Luna to Sherry and Walter and as always they took such good care of her , provided frequent updates and made amazing studio level photos We will definitely have them babysit Luna again soon Thanks again”
“Siding has been an amazing sitter for my dog! She is super nice and responsive to messages. Sidun sent plenty of photos and cute videos daily to put my mind at ease during my trip. She is very responsible and always makes sure that my dog’s needs are fully met. She was also very flexible with the pick up time. My dog came home smelling great and looking very happy. I will definitely recommend Sidun and book with her again!”
“Amanda was great! Really communicative and accommodated my changes to the drop off time and my ridiculously early pick up time. Would definitely recommend”
“Orlando and Christina are wonderful!! My dog Olivia tends to get separation anxiety when she’s away from me. She did not seem one bit anxious or even phased by being away from home! She came home happy and at ease. They are very flexible with dates/ time. You’ll receive frequent updates from them with pictures so you know your pup is happy :) 100% recommend!”
“Natalia and Paul were amazing! They very communicative and have a lot of experience working with dogs. Everything went as expected and Im glad I chose them. I’ll certainly use them again next time Im traveling.”
“She was amazing! This was our first time using this website and were a bit nervous leaving our dogs with someone we didn't know, but she made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease. We received several updates throughout the days of how our dogs were doing. We could tell that she was treating them like one of her own. I would recommend her to anyone that wants their dogs treated well and with love. Thank you Gabriela!”
“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!”
“Kira is absolutely amazing with dogs and our go-to sitter. We have a high-energy pup and Kira is great with her and has a calming effect. She’s a great communicator and I’d highly recommend her!”
“Chandni and her partner Issac were fantastic to our cat Olivia and I cannot recommend them enough!! We boarded at their place for a little over a week because we were hosting some family in our small apartment. We got updates with photos and videos of Olivia every few hours which was so helpful, and they even got her some new toys! We really appreciate Chandni and Issac for taking care of Olivia like their own. Thank you again!!”
“So happy with Susan’s dog-sitting ☺️ this is my second time leaving my dog with Susan and on the drive there, my dog could not contain her excitement once she realized where she was going. Susan is communicative, kind and attentive. I trust her wholeheartedly with my pup and will book again!”
“Caterina was terrific with Fala! She sent updates and photos + videos throughout Fala's two night stay and despite generally stormy weather, got Fala out as much as possible. I look forward to booking with Caterina again!”
“Frankie had the best stay with Sean! Sean is extremely friendly, and I knew Frankie was in great hands the moment I met Sean during our meet and greet. He was extremely flexible with pick up and drop off and kept me updated with pics and updates everyday during Frankie's stay. Frankie can't wait to come back, thanks again for your help!”
“I can’t recommend them enough! We were nervous to leave Elsa with anyone, but they were wonderful and treated her like family. The frequent updates kept our minds completely at ease. They were absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Tallin was a truly wonderful dogsitter! I've left my dog with very few sitters before, so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Tallin put me right at ease with twice-daily updates and lots of photos. I will absolutely try to book with her again next time I need a sitter!”
“Paige took such great care of our pups, Trooper and Leia! She sent regular updates and they came back healthy, happy, and clean. She even sent them home with a toy that they enjoyed while staying with her. We recommend Paige to any pet parent!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jersey City
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 Pet Boarding in Jersey City on Rover is $49.95 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 14,533 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Jersey City. About 88% of Jersey City sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
