About: When your fur baby is with me, they are treated exactly like family. I strictly follow any instructions you leave behind and will provide regular photo updates for your peace of mind with whichever service you decide to book. Going away on Vacation? I am located only 5 minutes away from EWR Newark Airport for close drop off & pick up. I do have one older pet in my home that does not interact with any pets that come for boarding or day care. 🏡 For Boarding (Small Dogs up to 40 lbs): Because I work from home at the moment full-time, your pup will never be lonely! We will have days packed with fun, including plenty of playtime in my fully fenced backyard, exciting car rides to a beautiful local park, and cozy movie-night cuddles. I specialize in smaller pets to ensure they get the dedicated space and attention they deserve. I currently have open availability! 🥰 Because I am fully dedicated to helping others care for their dogs, pet care is my daily routine! My day is entirely structured around the needs of the pups in my care. Mornings start early with fresh water, breakfast, and a neighborhood walk to stretch our legs. Throughout the day, I maintain a consistent schedule of potty breaks, lots of play time, and plenty of love. Whether you are at work or on vacation, your pup is my top priority from sunrise to bedtime. I love letting your fur babies outside to burn off their energy, and when it's time to wind down, I'm always ready for lots of playtime and cuddles. In my home, I have a fenced yard in my apartment for pets who will stay the day with me.
“Jessica is Fabulous!! She takes the best care of our dog. She gives her so much love and attention, and sends the best pic updates very regularly. Very attentive and caring. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her, knowing she is in such good hands!!”


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!”

“It was my first time leaving my puppy for several days and Tamika was great! She sent me photos and kept me updated daily which was really important to me. I could really sense that she enjoyed taking care of her. I will definitely rebook in the future 😊”

“This is our second time using Connor. When we went to drop Fiona off she pulled us to the door. We were updated with pictures, and upon picking her up she was affectionate and happy. Highly recommend and would use Connor again!”
“Leaving Zeus with Angie was the best decision we made. She’s not just reliable—she’s warm, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. From the start, I could see how much she cared. She treated Zeus like he was part of her own family, and that level of care made all the difference. Zeus is a sensitive dog. He’s usually very shy, doesn’t warm up to strangers easily, and struggles with separation anxiety. He’s also not the most social when it comes to other animals. But somehow, Angie managed to connect with him. Within just a few days, I could see a shift. He looked relaxed, at ease, and even comfortable hanging around her cats, which is a first. Angie kept me updated every day with photos and videos. I never had to ask—she was always on top of it. I could tell he was happy, healthy, and in good hands. It honestly felt like Zeus was on his own vacation while we were away for 10 days. This was hands down the best experience we’ve had with a dog sitter. Angie is someone I’d trust again without a second thought.”

“Jacqueline was incredible! Literally couldn’t have asked for more in a sitter for our dog Mabel. Mabel is a very sweet but anxious lady and wasn’t her best self when we dropped her off - barking and very anxious to be left. Jacqueline was very understanding and updated me soon after I left to let me know Mabel had calmed down and was doing well. She asked all questions necessary to ensure Mabel had the best and most comfortable stay possible, and Mabel did indeed have a great time! Jacqueline sent photos and updates the whole time we were gone and I felt very comfortable with Mabel’s care which allowed me to enjoy my time away! Will absolutely be using Jacqueline & fam again!”


“I’ve booked with Naomi many, many times now. She’s wonderful and Kubo loves to go back. She takes care of him and loves him like he’s her own. Not to mention that Naomi is so kind and sweet herself. She updates me about how Kubo is doing each time I book with her and always welcomes him back with open arms, even if I request a last-minute booking. Definitely book with her. She’s the best. :-)”

“This was my first time using Rover. We definitely lucked out with Megany. She sat for my dog for the long weekend and was amazing. She sent updates via text and even videos. My dog was so comfortable and happy with her. I will definitely use her in the future. Highly recommended. Thank you so much Megany!!”

“Hsin Yun & Phi were fantastic! They were super responsive and let me check out their place beforehand, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the trip, they kept sending me updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. When my flight got cancelled because of the government shutdown, they were incredibly flexible and understanding about keeping my dog longer. Honestly, their willingness to help during such a chaotic situation meant so much to me. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with them again!”

“We are incredibly thankful to Rajan for boarding our dog, Loki, for a little over two weeks. Loki was so well cared for and looked genuinely happy throughout her stay. She loved getting to play with other pups, which made the experience even better for her. Rajan is clearly an animal lover and treated Loki as if she were his own. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re very grateful for the care and attention Rajan provided and would highly recommend him.”


“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!”

“Doug took excellent care of our dog Winnie! He was incredibly responsive and shared lots of updates and fun pictures. We felt fully at ease and know Winnie was having a great time. We will absolutely be reaching out to Doug again the next time we need help with Winnie!”

“Jhajanny was awesome once again! I had a last-minute bit of home construction being done, and she was able to take my pets. They were cared for, and I got so many cute pictures of them!”

“Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.”

“This is our second time book with Lucas and Katherine and we will definitely be using them again. They are so sweet, send the cutest pictures and show so much long to my baby girl.”

“can’t thank Pallab enough for the love and care they gave Ashoka . From the thoughtful updates to the little details they paid attention to, we knew our pup was in the best hands. Ashoka adored him, and we felt complete peace of mind. We’re so grateful and will definitely rebook!””

Tiara was amazing with Bucket while we were traveling! She sent daily updates and pictures, which I really appreciated and looked forward to every day. Bucket needed a little time to settle in, but Tiara made a few thoughtful accommodations for him and he became so comfortable there. When I picked him up, he seemed happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. The sweetest touch was the goodie bag Tiara sent Bucket home with, full of fun toys, treats, and even custom accessories. Such a thoughtful surprise! Thank you, Tiara, for taking such good care of my big baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter.

Javier took exceptional care of my fur baby and went above and beyond to make both of us feel comfortable from the very beginning. It was clear that she was well cared for, loved, and happy while I was away. I truly appreciated the updates, kindness, and professionalism. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Our pups had a great time with Conner! We received frequent photos and videos throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see the girls getting plenty of playtime with the other dogs staying there—they looked like they were having a blast! Conner was excellent with communication and kept us updated the entire time. It was obvious from the videos that YoYo and Zoe were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He even made sure Zoe got her medication, which we really appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Conner again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!

Brianna was absolutely fantastic with our poodle, Pepper, during his 7 day stay! She went above and beyond to care for him, keeping us constantly updated on his routine, eating habits, playtime, and walks. We loved receiving all the photos which was such a thoughtful touch that really put us at ease. It was clear Pepper had a wonderful time with her and her pup on his Puppy Vaca, and we could tell he felt happy and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brianna again!

I appreciate Miss Natalie so much. Such a caring and loving dog sitter. She kept me updated and kept me at ease while I was 3,000 miles away. For my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn't really know,it felt like I was dropping my child off to school for the first day, lol! The good thing about it all as well, is that he came home and acted his regular normal self, there was no change in Behavior! That's how I know that he was comfortable being there and I will definitely use her again!

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.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Union on Rover is $51.36 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 14,255 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Union. About 88% of Union 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.

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 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.
