“Caroline and her family looked after Clover really well. He always looked happy in the videos and pictures that were sent; he especially looked happy playing with other dogs and also playing with her son. He is always happy to go into her house when I leave him off.”
“Maisha is the best sitter ever!!! She does an amazing job taking care of my dog. He always has so much fun with her and his furry friends. She does a great job of keeping you updated throughout their stay as well. Her home is very nice and clean so you don’t have to worry if your pup is in a clean environment. 10/10 recommend.”
“So glad my family was match with Stacia. From the meet and greet to when my dog stayed with her for 5 days , I felt so comfortable and at ease throughout the process. I had to travel internationally and she was sending me update throughout the day . I was not worry at all because I saw how my cinnamon was happy . Thank you again and we definitely will booked her again”
“Starry & Gio were fantastic! This was our first time leaving Carmela overnight with a Rover, and we were so happy with the level of communication that they provided. We got consistent pictures and updates throughout the day. I’d definitely have Carmela stay with them again!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.
“Mel always has such fun with Milena and her pup, Lola. Milena is wonderful with Mel and takes him on long walks. We are relieved to know Mel is safe and happy while we are away. Thank you, Milena!”
“Winston had another wonderful stay with Marlene for 5 overnights. Marlene's communication is excellent and we are so thankful to how attentive she is to our Winston while he is in her care. Marlene provides daily updates and pictures of Winston and it means the world to us!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for nearly 15 years. Since very young I’ve always had love for dogs. I have a 15 year old dog that’s partially blind and deaf that I take extra care of. I’m also a full time nanny for a 1 year old girl and I watch their family senior dog. I make sure he goes out for walks, change his diaper, clean up any accidents and of course give him treats and cuddles. 🥰 I’m currently a full time nanny who works 8-5 or 5:40. I would be available to care for your pet in the evenings and have them stay overnight. I’m also available on Tuesday after 12 pm. On the weekends I can commit to a full day as needed. I make sure they have their meals on time, take them out for walks. If they’re senior dogs I’ll change diapers, clean up any accidents and make sure they’re comfortable. Any medication I’ll make sure they take them too!

“We had a wonderful experience! Akshay was amazing and kept us updated with lovely messages, photos, and videos throughout our dog’s stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend, and we would definitely book again! 🐾❤️”
“Basil loved staying with Daisy and Phil! They took amazing care of our Basil, and sent us photos and updates on Basil daily. Basil gets (kind of a lot of) pills each morning, and they did a great job dealing with her specific special needs. Will be returning, thank you!”
“Connor did a great job with my Schnauzer Margo, who can be rather "excitable" at times. She seemed to feel at home immediately around Connor and his dog Maggie and I think she actually enjoyed her time with them. I will definitely return to Connor.”
“I was SO nervous to leave my old lady with a stranger, but Jessica and her pack were a perfect fit!! She clearly received loads of love and attention, as evidenced by the pictures and reports I regularly received, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you, Jessica, for giving Lily an even better vacation than we had!”
“My little Muffin had a blast. I booked with Julhiffer again and while I was on vacation she always kept me updated with the cutest videos and pics of my dog having a ball. She creates such a warm and animal friendly atmosphere! She is amazing ! Thank you again!”
“It’s our first time using Rover, and we’re so glad we found Jhajanny and her husband. They constantly kept us updated, and our cat felt at home with them right away. We could truly tell he was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. They are very trustworthy and genuinely love pets. We’re so grateful for them. 😻😽”
“Jo is AMAZING! My Wheatie Belle had such a great time hanging out with her, Callie and Presley…I’ve vowed to make sure they hang out once a month…LoL…that’s how GREAT she is!!!!”
“Jestine was incredible with Kala! I could tell that Kala was happy and content with her. Jestine was also very accommodating of my schedule and worked with any last minute changes that occurred with a professional and positive attitude. I highly recommend her for any long term dog-sitting!”
“Julissa and her sister took great care of sparky. He came up tired and had a great time playing with them. They also sent pictures of him. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
“This was the very first time I've ever left my good boy in anyone else's care, and I couldn't have picked a better sitter. Regular updates with pics and videos let me know my boy was safe, happy and in good hands. I'm extremely happy with the service and won't hesitate to book again when I have to be away and cannot bring him with me. ?”

There is truly no one better than Jordy! Leaving your pup is never easy, but the level of extra care, love, and attention he gave to our pup went completely above and beyond. What really sets him apart was his incredible communication. I received regular, detailed updates and the sweetest photos, which gave me total peace of mind the entire time I was away. It was so clear that our pup wasn't just being looked after. He was being genuinely loved and bonded with Jordy's kind energy. If you need a sitter who treats your dog like their absolute own and keeps you connected every step of the way, Jordy is the only choice. I just cannot recommend him enough! Thank you so very much.
We had a wonderful experience! Akshay was amazing and kept us updated with lovely messages, photos, and videos throughout our dog’s stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend, and we would definitely book again! 🐾❤️
Natasha was absolutely amazing with my 7yo Cavapoo - Champ. We had a meet and greet and Champ liked her from the get go. She was very patient with us while we were figuring out our travel plans and was very communicative throughout. Champ isn’t great with other dogs and has a couple of other “peculiarities” but Natasha was great at accommodating all of them. We were at ease and comfortable that Champ’s every need was being met while we were away. I highly recommend Natasha and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a sitter.
Absolutely wonderful sitter! What meant the most to me was being able to relax while I was away and know that my dog was in good hands. I really appreciated the communication and updates, and I never once felt like I had to worry. When I came back, my dog was happy and relaxed, which told me everything I needed to know. I’m so thankful for her and would absolutely have her sit for my dog again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.
I would highly recommend Megany. It’s the first time that we have left them with someone else and we could not have asked for a better person to take care of our doggies. She would update us every day with pictures and communication was great. After a weeks stay they were very happy and healthy. We would definitely book with her again in the future.
The sitter is an exceptional one. This lady was very attentive from the beginning before we booked the appointment and took the time enjoy our Asher and to send pictures. They communicated with me often and did everything we asked for, such as playing with the dog, taking him for walks, and following his daily schedule. I will definitely book them again.
Melanie has watched our Bella twice, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided! She is incredibly kind, caring, reliable, and attentive. Bella was comfortable and happy in her care. We felt completely at ease knowing Bella was in such loving and capable hands. It means so much to have someone we can truly trust with our furry family member. We would absolutely recommend M to anyone looking for a wonderful and dependable dog sitter!
This was my first time boarding my dog, Marley, and I highly recommend Rosario! From the very beginning, she reassured me that Marley would be well taken care of, and she absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was so impressed with the love, care, and attention Marley received while he was with her. She went above and beyond to help him adjust, feel comfortable, and even make new friends. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I am beyond pleased and incredibly grateful for everything Rosario did for Marley. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy. I will definitely trust you with him again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Union is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $70 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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Union can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Union home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Union.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Union. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Union sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
