“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was so happy with Maisha. She was so great with Charlie and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the time Charlie was with her. She was very attentive and Charlie had a great time staying with her.”
“Ekaterina was fantastic with out puppy. She kept us informed and sent frequent pictures. Our puppy had a fabulous time and enjoyed her stay. Ekaterina was quick to respond and is wonderful to work with. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their dog.”
“Veronica was fantastic! As an outdoor cat, finding someone who could care for Juno, with safety as the first priority, but also allow her to retain her sense of freedom and independence was always going to be a tough ask. We found that with Veronica - would highly recommend! Very kind, sent us lots of photos and even got Juno some special treats and toys.”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Jordy took excellent care of my boy, Ty. He kept me updated and sent pics and even provided some great tips on some things he noticed throughout his stay. I can feel at ease knowing that when I need to utilize his services in the future my fur child will be well taken care of.”
“I had the greatest experience using Stacia to take care of Mojo. She went above and beyond the call of duty to care for him and with me traveling, that was top notch service. Daily updates with photos of him enjoying his time away and I didn’t have to worry about him in her care. If I could rate 10 stars, I would. Mojo has found a new second home at Stacia’s place.”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”
“Jessica is great with my dog Penelope. She takes lots of pictures and provides updates, and Penelope loves her dog. I always know Penelope is being spoiled and well taken care of when she’s with Jessica.”
“Jennifer and her lovely family gave Empire so much love and care while I was away. I will definitely be booking Jennifer again. She constantly gave me updates with photos and pictures, and she accommodated me in every way I needed. Empire also even came back smelling extra AMAZING ❤️”
“She was super nice and kept me updated about our furrbaby n he also loved there and played with other dogs! Will definitely recommend her to others who wants to leave their furbabies in good hands!”
“Bhavani handles puppies like a pet owner with care and affection. Bhavani took great care of Benny. She regularly sent pics and videos, which was very reassuring. She spent time playing with him and made sure he was well cared for throughout. I especially appreciated how she helped Benny socialize—he was happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend her as a dogsitter.”
“I had an amazing experience with Akshay. He took excellent care of my dog, Bagheera, and treated him like family from day one. Akshay made sure Bagheera got his daily walks, meals right on time, and plenty of playtime. I really appreciated how he asked questions in the beginning whenever needed—showing how responsible and attentive he is. He also sent daily updates, photos, and little notes about Bagheera’s mood and activities, which kept me completely relaxed while I was away. Another lovely part was Akshay’s dog, Sirius. Bagheera and Sirius became instant buddies! They played, relaxed, explored together, and honestly, it feels like Bagheera came back home with a new brother. Overall, Akshay is reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy Person. Your pet will be in wonderful hands!”
“This was my first time using Rover for our dog. Marlene was patient with myself and our dog! She was so easy to communicate with. Very responsive! She would update us regarding our dog’s stay daily and our dog seemed to have enjoyed his stay with her. So glad we found her and we would certainly use her 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union
Our dog Elphaba LOVES staying with Caroline! She has made best dog-friends and gets very excited when we approach Caroline’s place. She has the most wonderful backyard for the dogs to play and everyone in the family is great with Elphaba. Caroline sends us videos and pictures every day letting us know how she is doing. We are very grateful for Caroline and her family!
Griffey seemed so comfortable and happy in his first stay with Tynesha and family! This was his first stay with anybody outside of our family, and we immediately knew he was in great hands from the initial meeting. The regular updates and photos kept us reassured that he was having a great time. We will absolutely be coming back to Tynesha for any future dog sitting needs!
We had a wonderful experience! They provided tons of updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave us total peace of mind. Simba felt completely safe and comfortable, and he absolutely loved having their pet dog Sirius as a companion to play with. When we picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed. We couldn't have asked for better care!
Highly Highly Recommended very professional, our dogs had a great time they updated us everyday with very pictures, they have a big backyard so the pups can run and roam freely It was the first time letting someone sit our dogs and they made the experience great we had no issues we will use them in the future thank you again.
Joanne was wonderful with my dog. My dog is a bit anxious and doesn't typically do well with new people but he did amazing! She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. We had a slight hiccup in our trip and Joanne was very accommodating! I am happy to have booked with her!
Veronica is absolutely incredible! She took such wonderful care of Tasha and truly went above and beyond. When Tasha was feeling a bit down and lost her appetite, Veronica didn't just ignore it—she actually went out and bought special food to encourage her to eat and spent extra time cheering her up. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the happiness and health of the pups she watches. Tasha came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Veronica to anyone!
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Union
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Union on Rover is $52.82 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 13,844 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Union. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Union sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Union landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
