“I had the pleasure of entrusting my cat to a pet sitter in Jersey City, and I couldn't be more impressed. This gentleman showed an incredible amount of patience, responsibility, and care. He kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, reassuring me that my cat was not only safe but thriving in his temporary home. The attention to my cat’s well-being, both physically and emotionally, was exceptional. I highly recommend his services to anyone in the Jersey City area who needs reliable and compassionate pet care. You can trust that your pet will be in excellent hands.”
“Wai and her family were so caring, responsive, and kind. They sent so many cute photos and took him on many adventures around the neighborhood. I highly recommend her family as sitters for your pet and wouldn’t think twice about booking again!”
“This was my dog’s first time staying with Paulette and it was a wonderful experience. She made her feel so comfortable, and I could see how much fun she was having and how much love she was receiving from all of the photos. I greatly appreciated Paulette’s updates and approach to caring for my dog. We will be back!”
“Jocelyn is so great with my dog. She also goes above and beyond to come pick him up for me and drop him off when I am home. He slept for 2 days after all the play time he got while staying at Jocelyn's house. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. Thanks for everything Jocelyn!”
“Nicolle and Rolando were the definition of perfection! Flexible with my last minute booking due to unexpected travel, tons and tons of pictures, amazing communication and I truly felt my fur baby was in the very very best hands! This was a complete win and will be Milky’s go to going forward! So grateful and he had such a good time!!!”
“Natalia was amazing. My dog was cared for with so much love and attention. Her communication was amazing sharing photos throughout the week of the fun, sun tanning and play time had with her dog. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future. Thank you Natalia.”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and live with my 16- year-old dog, so I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and sensitive personalities. I work well with dogs of all sizes and temperaments- from shy or anxious companions to energetic explorers. I adjust my approach to each dog: slow and gentle for seniors, patient for nervous pets, and active and engaging for high-energy dogs. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, understood, and relaxed while you’re away. I can help with: • relaxed or active walks (depending on your dog’s needs) • potty breaks & drop-ins • medication if needed • calm companionship I treat every pet as my own and never rush interactions. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, and I’m flexible on weekends and holidays. When scheduling allows, I can also accommodate quick daytime potty breaks or check-ins for nearby pets. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and calm care. I closely follow each pet’s routine and needs, pay attention to their behavior, and never rush interactions. I’m especially attentive with senior pets, making sure they feel secure, supported, and stress-free at all times.
“Katy couldn't have taken better care of our cat, Tibby. We got so many pictures and thoughtful updates on her health and her mood. She checked on the cadence of info that we were getting before and during the stay to make sure we were getting the updates we wanted. She was flexible when it came to pickup and drop-off and made those parts a breeze. She also keeps a super clean, nice apartment that we felt super comfortable leaving Tibby in. We'll book with her again for sure.”
“Henry was an amazing sitter! Quincy was beyond happy with everything and has come back so happy. Henry is calm and amazing especially with even large animals, Quincy is very hyper and happy he is my go to sitter now. Henry was amazing!”
“Briana and her roommate were so nice and accommodating especially that my dog is not dog friendly and male friendly. I got a few pictures of him who was happy to have a cuddle buddy during his stay.”
“Jonathan is the best! My pup stayed with his crew for 6 nights, my longest trip away since adopting her. Jonathan was extremely responsive throughout the process. He provided daily updates and pictures of Missy enjoying her mini vacation, which eased my anxiety. The dogs get a great balance of outdoor exploration and cozy indoor time. Will definitely rebook with Jonathan the next time I go out of town!”
“It was Tonka's 2nd time with Ahmed and Michael and he seemed to have a great time. We got constant updates with such delightful pictures. Highly recommend them as my Tonka came back happy :)”
“Orlando and Christina kept us informed all day, every day about Leo’s activity. Took him for many walks and when I picked up Leo, I could see that he had a good time. I will absolutely bring Leo again!”
“Pooja was great - looked after Jamie amazingly well. And with so much love and care. She took Jamie to the dog park, gave us regular updates and clearly cares for him a lot”
“Alekhandra is the best!!! Kept me updated and informed with photos of activities and saw how happy my boy was through out his stay which made my wife and I very comfortable. Definitely will be using her services again. Great work”
“Rochelle was wonderful for my kitty Zeno. He seemed sad to leave ?. She sent photos and gave him his daily vitamins, and even bought new food for him when he started turning down his own food. The environment seemed calm and quiet for my very timid old cat. She cleaned out his litter and food dish and packed up his things when it was time to go. I would definitely trust her with my kitty again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jersey City
Monica and her family watched our dog Frankie while we were out of town for a week. Thanks to their frequent updates, we felt confident Frankie was being very well cared for, and her feeding/schedule instructions were precisely followed. We wouldn't hesitate to have Frankie stay with Monica again!
Veronika did an amazing job caring for our dog and making sure he was safe. She sent plenty of photos and updates to make us feel comfortable. We could tell she knew what she was doing and has been the best sitter we have found in the Jersey city area yet. Her small dog was also really well behaved and friendly so it was a bonus for our dog to have a friend while we were away. Thank you so much!
Jonathan and his wife were absolutely wonderful with Sana! We came to them after a last-minute cancellation, and I’m so grateful we found them. From the moment Sana arrived, they made her feel comfortable and at home in their cozy, welcoming space. They were incredibly attentive to Sana’s individual needs and so accommodating throughout her stay. She can experience some separation anxiety, which sometimes affects her eating, and they were exceptionally patient, persistent, and comforting with her until she settled into a routine. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was being cared for with that level of warmth and understanding. They also made her stay really fun, with walks, outings, playtime, and plenty of attention. I loved seeing the photos and updates of her enjoying herself and getting comfortable with Coco and Maya too. It was clear she was genuinely happy and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially for Sana’s first longer stay with a sitter. Jonathan and his family created exactly the kind of home environment I was hoping for, and I would absolutely trust them with Sana again. Highly recommend!
We’ve used Lucas a couple of times now for overnight boarding and most recently for a long stay of 10 nights. Archie comes back happy, well cared for, and tired. He loves being boarded with other dogs too. Lucas is reasonably flexible with pick up and drop offs which is super helpful! He always sends updates when we ask. It can be hard to find someone that will take on a big dog in Hoboken and were very glad we found Lucas.
When last minute plans fell through, Kira went above and beyond the call of duty to take care of Argo for an extended period. I had peace of mind, knowing that she was taking excellent care of my child, and managing the environment specifically for his needs. Very grateful to Kira and her wonderful family for taking great care of Argo.
Shirley took good care of our pup Rooster and would definitely book with her again! She was able to accommodate a meet & greet on short notice and asked great questions to get to know our pup. During the stay, she provided updates and pictures which was great. She is kind and easy to work with. Most of all you can tell she really loves animals and takes the time understand & respect their personalities. Thank you so much, Shirley!
Amanda was amazing with my doggie Simba! She was able to accommodate a last minute request which we appreciate so much! Simba had lots of cuddles, fun, and walks! Amanda provided many updates and adorable pictures, providing peace of mind. We will definitely be re-booking in the future!
Rochelle was absolutely amazing! She watched after our boy Ham for two weeks while we were in Europe for our wedding/honeymoon and she kept us updated everyday with pics and messages. Truly gave us peace of mind that our boy was well looked after while we were gone. Would 100% recommend!
Jane was such a delight to work with and we are so happy that we had her watch our cat Hugo. She kept us updated consistently, sent photos, and treated him like he was her own pet. It’s not easy to leave your fur babies behind but Jane made us feel completely confident and comfortable leaving him in her care. I would 100% reccomend her and work with her again!

There are 14,586 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.

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 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.
