“Minako was great with my pup! She kept me updated, took him to the dog run, and was flexible with our pickup time. Shep came home a pooped pup, so I know he had a blast with her. Highly recommend and I’ll be reaching out to her again for any future overnight boarding needs.”

In many of the pictures our dog was clearly smiling, so much so that my husband asked “does she like them better than us?” 😂 ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jersey City
We had a great experience! They took really good care of our dog and he was very happy and comfortable with them. They also kept us updated throughout the stay by sending lots of photos and videos. We really appreciated how attentive and caring they were. Would definitely recommend them and book again!
Adeanna did an amazing job taking care of Lyric for three days! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Adeanna was great about sending pictures and regular updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated being able to see Lyric’s progress throughout her stay and how comfortable and happy she was. It was clear that Adeanna was attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in making sure Lyric was well taken care of. Lyric came home happy and well cared for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Adeanna, for taking such great care of my girl! I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely book with her again. ❤️🐾
We have a great experience with Yutong and Mengya. They took really good care of our dog and kept us informed of everything. They provided timely updates and sent many pictures throughout. Overall a nice and pleasant experience. Would recommend and book again with them.
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! 🐾
Monica and Al took great care of our puppy for four days while we flew out of town for a wedding. They were super communicative giving us updates all throughout the day, when he was eating, going outside, or even just taking a nap and settling in. They made sure he was very comfortable and close to his normal routine. Would definitely rebook with them again in the future!
I genuinely can’t say enough good things about Grace and Taha! Mowgli is a super friendly but VERY energetic one-year-old pup with absolutely no concept of personal space. This was his first time staying with a sitter other than his original trainer, and since I was leaving him for 10 days, I was pretty nervous. I spoke with several sitters before choosing Grace and Taha, and I’m incredibly glad I did. From the start, Grace was responsive and reassuring, even after I warned her that Mowgli can be a handful. Throughout his stay, they treated him like their own—following all my instructions, brushing him regularly, taking him on tons of walks and dog-park trips, and bringing him along with them. They also sent multiple photos, videos, and updates every day. He looked so happy that I genuinely started wondering if he’d want to come home! Around day six or seven, I asked if he’d had any accidents and found out he’d already had three. They hadn’t even felt the need to bother me about them, and when I apologized, they simply said he’s a puppy and it’s no big deal. That says a lot about how patient and experienced they are. An unexpected bonus: Grace is an amazing photographer. The photos and videos she sent were incredible, and she even offered to upload everything to a Drive for me afterward. I’m incredibly grateful I found them. Grace and Taha will absolutely be my first choice whenever I travel going forward, for Mowgli and my other dog as well. I’d recommend them without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of Mowgli!
Amy took very good care of our Winston. She sent us photos every day and we could see he was very happy. She even figured out some of Winston's favorite activities and ensured he got to enjoy them! We will definitely look at trusting Amy to look after Winston again in the future.
Jade is absolutely lovely! We are so glad to have found her on rover. We’ve boarded our pittie/bully rescues twice with her and have been able to enjoy stress-free vacations as a result. Jade sent regular updates about the girls that put us at ease immediately. The second time I dropped off the girls, they almost dragged me to jade’s doorstep, which I take as a super positive sign ofc. Thank you Jade for all your help!

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.
