“Wai Pou and her family are absolutely amazing! This was our second time booking with them, and this time it was for a much longer trip, so we really got to see how consistent and reliable their care is. They took wonderful care of our French bulldog, Azula, treating her like part of the family from the moment we dropped her off. What really stands out is the communication — they sent tons of pictures and updates throughout the entire stay, which made being away so much easier. It’s clear they genuinely love what they do and love the dogs they watch. We came home to a happy, well-loved pup and zero worries. Highly, highly recommend Wai Pou and her family to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”
“We had a great first boarding experience for our cat Mango. Zhiyuan was flexible with last-minute changes and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout. Mango settled in quickly, did really well, and came home happy. Would absolutely book again!”
“Our dog Chester loves Jelfri! It’s been his third time watching him and Chester feels right at home with Jelfri and his family. Great communication and frequent picture updates which we appreciate!”
“Jhazmin was amazing with our Pomeranian. Jhazmin was very attentive and sweet. She was very responsive and would send multiple updates per day. We FaceTimed with her and our pup multiple times and we could see the care she had for our pup. Our dog has a medical condition that requires constant monitoring and Jhazmin always made us feel at peace with our dog’s medication management. We are very happy with the service Jhazmin provided to our pup for 17 days. We definitely plan to work with her again and we highly recommend her if you’re looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. ❤️”
“It was my very first time leaving my dog overnight at another person’s home and I was a little worried but Harriet knew exactly what to do and took a very good care of my dog! She genuinely love animals and I will definitely recommend Harriet!”
“Erica is the best. This was a very last minute booking and everyone was busy. She was the only one who said yes and it felt like it was meant to be. She took care of my dog very well and I will 100% book her in the future. Thank you Erica”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has always had a special place in my heart for animals. I started having cats in my early 20s and have spent years pet sitting for friends, caring for their pets as if they were my own. About four years ago, I adopted my own dog, which has made having animals in my life even more rewarding. I also have experience volunteering with animal organizations overseas, which deepened my appreciation for animals and their unique personalities and needs. I currently live in an apartment with a fenced outdoor garden, right next to Liberty State Park, making it a wonderful setting for fresh air, outdoor time, and long walks. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I believe in providing patient, attentive, and loving care tailored to each one. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, exploring outdoors, or simply curling up somewhere cozy, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love, attention, and consideration I give my own—and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind, too. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for walks, playtime, meals, cuddles, and companionship. I keep a consistent schedule so pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, medication instructions, nap breaks, favorite activities, and anything else that helps them feel settled. Whether your pet loves long walks and outdoor adventures or prefers a cozy day with plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they get the care and affection they need. I know that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their personality and make their stay or visit as enjoyable as possible. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable being themselves. I live in an apartment with a fenced outdoor garden next to Liberty State Park, which is perfect for fresh air, outdoor time, and enjoyable walks. I always supervise pets closely, follow their care instructions, and pay attention to their individual personalities, energy levels, and comfort zones. Whether your pet is playful and adventurous, a little shy, or happiest curled up beside me, I’ll meet them where they are and give them plenty of patience, kindness, and attention. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting yours, I treat every animal like family. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos, so you can see how much fun they’re having and feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Christina and Orlando are great. My dogs loved them. They provide many updates throughout the whole day. I had to traveled to Las Vegas for my daughter event and had no one to stay with my fur babies. I will definitely recommend them.”
“Adam was great with my cat, Griffin. It was obvious my cat was very happy and well taken care of. I wish that I knew Adam booked multiple animals - both dogs and cats - in his home at a time. That said, the dog he owns, Hermes, is awesome and super friendly; Griffin and Hermes were immediately friends. Adam was also very responsive. Will definitely book with Adam again!”
“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“Bridget was great. Took excellent care of Bella. We were very nervous and worried, but things worked out great. Process was smooth and no complaints.”
“Napoleon had a great time with Jennifer. She gave him a ton of cuddles and attention. And she sent us plenty of pictures. Would definitely book with her again. 🥰”
“This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!”
“Cyndi & Paul are awesome! Took great care of my dog while she was boarding in their home. They sent me plenty of updates and pictures to make sure I knew how she was doing! Would absolutely recommend”
“I'm grateful to Sean for being communicative, kind, and for being generous and flexible about my early pick-up and drop-off times. His updates allowed me to feel at ease while attending my friend's wedding in the city!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jersey City
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took such amazing care of our babies and treated them with so much love and affection. She even went above and beyond by getting them little outfits and treats, which was such a thoughtful surprise. It’s clear how much she genuinely loves what she does, and knowing our dogs were in such loving hands gave us so much peace of mind. We’re beyond grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their fur babies like their own! ❤️
Hannah took care of my two amigo’s Charlie and Bleu for a week. Hannah informed me of everything that the dogs were doing, she walked them several times a day and made sure that they were loved. Hannah called/texted me with any concerns that she had. I will definitely be using Hannah again if she’ll have my fur babies again.
We couldn't be happier with our experience! Trinity was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She were caring, attentive, reliable, and treated our pet like one of their own. Communication was excellent, and we always felt reassured knowing our fur baby was in such loving and capable hands. It was clear how much they genuinely care about animals. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet and couldn't be more grateful. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate. We will absolutely be booking again!
We can't say enough good things about Wai! She took care of our dog, James, for two full weeks, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent us updates and lots of photos every single day, so we always knew how James was doing. He was clearly happy and comfortable with her, and that meant the world to us. Wai is caring, reliable, and a great communicator. We'd recommend her without hesitation and will definitely book her again!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Neerav! What stood out the most was his genuine passion, care, and patience, especially with our stubborn little pup when it came to eating. Anyone who has a picky eater knows how challenging that can be, but Neerav went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was comfortable, cared for, and eating well. His attentiveness, dedication, and affection gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that he treats the pups in his care with genuine love rather than just seeing it as a job. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Neerav to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated to their furry family members. We would absolutely love to book with him again!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Jersey City is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 14,577 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
