About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾
“Thank you for taking care of Ocean. Natalia is one of the best boarders we met. She has her own dog who was a great company to ours. Before day of dropping our dog for boarding, he started with Diarrhea. Natalia took a great care of him by providing optimal meal portions and medication. Ocean recovered during his stay and I can tell he very much enjoyed staying there. We would definitely recommend and book with Natalia in future as well.”
“Maria good very good care of my Sasha during an extended stay over the holidays. Maria is responsible, caring, and communicative. Will be using her again!”
“Sophie had so much fun staying with Patrice, Alex and Pepper! Patrice & Alex were very attentive to her special needs and provided lots of adorable photos and videos. We will certainly be using them again!”
“Paige took wonderful care of Emmy while we were gone!! This was our first time leaving Emmy since she came home with us. She’s a larger high energy puppy, and we felt great about leaving her with Paige.”
“Michael watched our dog June for one night in preparation for a longer stay and was very communicative and helpful! We’re looking forward to having June stay with him again.”
“I rebooked Meiqi and the minute my dog saw her he ran up into her arms! 🥹🥰 I am so grateful for Meiqi she loves my dog like her own and keeps him active with fun trips to places where my dog can sniff around and get his energy out. I also appreciate all the cute pictures she sends while he stays with Meiqi. My dog has become friends with her dog and it warms my heart to know when he’s happy and having fun when I’m traveling. Thank you, Meiqi! We’ll see you soon!”
“My dog had a great experience staying over with Chandni. She was warm and kind, creating a lovely atmosphere for him. She made sure he was well exercised too! Looking forward to working with her again soon.”
“Daniel and his partner Cheryl are wonderful pet sitters. They were caring, generous, and communicative when sitting my pup. I highly recommend them! I would definitely leave my dog with them again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup Gomi this week! Vera was very caring and attentive to Gomi’s needs. Communication was fantastic — frequent photos and videos gave us comfort knowing he was in great hands, and she kept us updated on everything from his eating to his bathroom habits. Gomi came home happy and relaxed, and we’d happily consider booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t be more grateful and glad for what Emmanuela did for my little girl, she always updates me during the whole time and my dog now has new friends that she loves and trust, thanks”

I highly recommend Jane! She looked after my dog for a few nights and was absolutely wonderful. Right from the start, her communication was fantastic in the lead-up to the stay, which made planning everything incredibly easy and stress-free. Throughout the entire stay, she kept me reassured with plenty of regular updates and photos. It was clear my dog was incredibly well looked after and happy the entire time!
Wai Pou and her family took excellent care of Azula while we were away. She followed all of our instructions closely and sent daily updates and photos, which gave my wife and me real peace of mind during our vacation. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely book with her again!
Orlando & Christina were awesome with Bella! They were super communicative and sent multiple photos daily during Bella's stay. They were also able to accommodate video call with my dog while I was away which was additional peace of mind! Bella usually gets super stressed in new environments, but I could tell she was very well taken care of. When they dropped Bella off and got back in their car, Bella was looking for them! :) Will defintaely use them again!
Laura was absolutely phenomenal! I needed a sitter last minute and was extremely nervous. But after speaking with Laura all my nerves were put at ease. She was attentive and sent updates daily. I was always able to get in contact with her and never had an issue with communication. I will 1000% be becoming again for as long as she is willing to watch Bentley. Bentley came back just as loved and spoiled as when I dropped her off which is always the goal.
Here’s a more polished version that keeps your heartfelt tone: I included it in a reusable writing block so you can easily copy and paste it into your Rover review. This was the first time we left our dog with someone who wasn’t a friend or family member, and I’m so grateful we found Chi-Wing and his partner. We have a disabled senior dog, and they took such incredible care of her. They sent us multiple photos and videos every day, gave her gentle massages, kept her clean and comfortable, and made sure she took all of her medications on time. When she cried at night, they even brought her into their bedroom so she could sleep with them and feel safe. Their kindness, patience, and genuine love for our dog gave us complete peace of mind. For the first time, my husband and I were able to truly enjoy our trip without feeling guilty because we knew our baby was in the best hands. I couldn’t recommend them more highly, especially if you have a senior dog or a pet with special needs.
Leaving your dog with someone is ultimately an act of trust. Caren made that trust easy. She is warm, attentive, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Freud with her and beautiful Theo again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Caren to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog as if they were her own. Thank you, Caren. Freud has already asked when he’s coming back, he woofs you 🐾
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.
Xueying was very friendly and flexible. She took good care of my dog and played with her through the day. I appreciate that she shared many pictures of my dog at her home through the day. It makes me feel better knowing how my dog is doing. I will definitely use her services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 14,342 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.

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.
